ing in contrast to the advantages enjoyed by her fellow students. Mis- erable though her school days were, that occupation was to be the role of one of her greatest triumphs. Would Bette Davis have played such a convincing Mildred" if circum- stances had never forced her to be a waitress at school?
 Recognition came to Bette Davis soon after school. She had always wanted to be an actress and her mother encouraged her, although her father thought she should take a business course in New York and prepare to be stenographer. She attended a dramatic school in New York instead, and then obtained a job as an usherette in the Cape Playhouse of Cape Cod, Mass. Fi- nally she was given small part, and rose rapidly in the theater, go- ing on to Hollywood where she rose to stellar heights in 'Of Human Bondage" For her performance in Dangerous" she received the Mo- tion Picture award in 1895.

usual for more than one to be opened during bitter weather. This being so, all of the windows but one can be kept closed, and ordinary double windows put on outside. For the one window that is to be opened, a removable double window can be attached inside. If the easement is provided with inside insect screens on hinges, the screens can be re- placed with glass. Another possibil- ity is a sheet of plate glass cover- ing the entire opening, set in a frame of wood molding, fitted to the inside of the window frame. The molding should have good-sized han dies attached to it, so that it can be easily moved, and when in place, it is held by simple bolts or turn. buttons.
 Double windows raise the temper ature of room by many degrees. There is far less chilling of the space near a window, and drafts in the room are greatly cut down. Double windows are well worth whatever they may cost.

 Why, the stranger! The great big stranger who made those tracks in the snow told you about and whom you tried to find and couldn't. I saw him just a few minutes ago! Who do you suppose he is, and do you suppose he has come to the Green Forest to stay?" cried Pe- ter, talking so fast that the words just tumbled out.
 How should I know?" replied Jumper the Hare. Suppose you tell me something about him. What does he look like?"
 Well, he's big" began Peter. He's bigger than anyone else in the Green Forest. Why, he's as big as Farmer Browns boy! He wears black fur coat. He stands on two legs and he walks on four legs. and he hasn't any tail"
 Jumper yawned just as if he weren't the least bit interested. I've heard all that before from Sammy Jay" said he.
 And don't you believe it?" cried Peter.
 Jumper the Hare smiled at Peter. and Peter knew right away by that smile that his big cousin had been teasing him. "Yes," said he, ''I be- lieve it because-well, because I have seen him myself"
 You have?" cried Peter, land do you really know who he is?"
 Jumper nodded "Yes," said he, ''he's an old acquaintance of mine"

avenue? Don't they remember that two people sitting under the same lamp was always their picture of marital bliss before they were mar ried?
 But sometimes our modern mood is upon us, and we tell our fretting friends to act their age. To use their brains. A temper, we tell them, is just a sign of an empty head. If you really want your hus- balld to go places with you, try to think up places that he might really like to go. Don't be unimaginative and suggest the movies every night, or bridge party at the Simpsons. By mere repetition he gets bored. Think up thirty-one different places you might go. and spring new one every night in the month. Suggest ferry rides and moonlight swims and country fairs. Ten to one, by the end of the month your Ben or Bill will catch fire. If he doesn't, maybe he is a drip.

 he really had not thought that Jim my would dare to treat this great stranger so, and if he hadn't seen it himself he wouldn't have believed it because-Well, because he couldn't have believed it.
 Peter was full of wonder and ex- citement as he hurried away to tell all whom he should meet what he had seen. He didn't know who the stranger was. Never had he seen anyone like him in the Green For est. The very thought of him made Peter shake with fright, even if Jimmy Skunk should say that there was nothing to be afraid of, and Peter knew that this is just what Jimmy would say when he met him. Presently as he hurried, lipperty- lipperty-lip, through the Green For est he met his cousin, Jumper the Hare.
 "Oh, Jumper! Cousin Jumperl I've seen him!" cried Peter just as soon as he was near enough to make himself heard.

week. He tried to get theatrical job in New Orleans, next he tried New York, with no luck, and went to Little Rock, Ark. There, he failed at trying to sell advertising on com- mission.
 During the World war, Bob Burns was in the marines, was crack rifle shot, and entertained the sol diers with his ''bazooka." After the war, he started a concession on the boardwalk at Atlantic City, running a game of chance. He married girl who worked in another conces- sion and, together, they started dance hall; but 1t failed. Failure after failure. And in the midst of his troubles, his son was born.
 But then Bob Burns got a job in vaudeville, and in a few short years he was at the top of the entertain ment world, with contracts for stage, motion pictures, and radio. His "bazooka" in which he had such faith, but which seemed such hopeless comedy to many people, is with him today and known all over the country.

DOUBLE WINDOWS FOR
 EASEMENTS

nURING the warm times of year, AD easement windows that swing outward are certainly attractive. This is not only for appearance, but for the full ventilation that comes with the opening of an entire win dow space. In winter, however, the situation is reversed. Out-swinging easement windows are more likely to leak than is the case with win dows of other kinds. Also, the ordi- nary form of double window cannot be used.
 When there are two or more case ment windows in a room, it is un-

 He's someone I used to know when I lived in the Great Woods be- fore I came to live in the Green Forest on the edge of the Green Meadows" replied Jumper, speak ing so slowly that Peter thought he would never get it out.
 But what's his name? Do tell me his name, Cousin Jumper" inn plored Peter.
 His name." replied Jumper slowly, very slowly, while Peter held his breath and leaned forward with eyes and ears and mouth wide open, His name is"
 'Is what?" cried Peter.
 "Is Buster Bear," replied Jumper the Hare.

HE most important material which we take into our bodies through the mouth is completely lacking in food value! This sounds like contradictory statement. It is, however, water which we are describing in these terms. As has been proven many times, man can live much longer without food than he can without drink, which he must have, not only to satisfy his thirst craving, but for use in every body process.
 The first qualifications in choosing place of residence is liberal and sure water supply. Those of us who live in cities and suburbs take this for granted. This is not the case, however, in the country. It was brought to my attention in Maine when new well was necessary. Captain Snnott was called upon to locate the we'll on one of the veins of water which run at intervals through the region. He came armed with crotched willow twig, which, believe it or not, turned toward the ground when it found running water. Of course, it would not be so oblig- ing for everyone. although we were all allowed to try our hand at divin- ing. One or two of us actually found that we had the power, al- though we were scientific scoffers.
 To go back to the importance of water which too often we neglect to drink in the proper quantity. At least eight glasses should be taken daily if our body machinery is to be supplied with amounts which will enable it to run efficiently. Some of this may be taken at meals if it is drunk after food has been chewed and swallowed. The rest may be taken between meals. Part of the supply may of course be in the form of any sort of liquid beverage.

 USHERETTE

' FEE has a strange way, some Ltimes, of repeating a circum- stance from our previous struggles, as if to remind us that what may have once seemed a difficult trial was actually preparation for later triumph. T am thinking, particular ly. of Bette Davis and the marvel ous performance she gave as the waitress, Mildred, in "Of Human Bondage"
 Bette Davis was born in Lowell, Mass, in 1908. Her mother had only a small alimony with which to support Bette and her sister, so she became a professional photogra- pher. After attending the Mary Ar den school of Peterboro, N. H., Bette went to Gushing academy of Boston. There, she waited on ta- bles to earn her tuition. To the six teen-year-old little girl, whose dra- matic ambitions made her super sensitive to her role In life, her oc- cupation as waitress was humiliat-

Bob Burns, who with his "bazooka" has be- come nationally known for his radio broadcasts and motion picture work, for many years looked like a failure. He was born in Van Buren, Ark, in 1896, and was always fond of music. His first 'bazooka" was a horn made from a piece of pipe welded to a funnel, because he had nothing else to play. After two years in college. he joined some friends in Oklahoma raising pea nuts. Bob gave that up to go back to Van Buren where he joined a minstrel troupe at three dollars a

Wartime Fourth

Ironically enough, one effect Of the
war this month will be to save Amer
lean lives. The annual fireworks toll
of dead and injured promises to be
greatly reduced, if not eliminated. A
safe and sane Fourth is in prospect
in an otherwise unsafe and SEEM
ingly insane world.
Hundreds of Americans whose
strength already is taxed and whose
nerves are strained under the war
effort are thankful that they are not
subjected to the further strain of
exploding fireworks. The quietude
is almost unbelievable for this time
Of year.
In the Washington area the Dis
trict of Columbia ban on fireworks
has been supplemented by new pro-
hibitive laws in both Maryland and
Virginia. The Maryland statute Is
perhaps the most stringent, making
even sparklers illegal. These laws
have been reinforced with a War
Evening star., 1942-07-04

Department order banning pyro-
technics all along the East Coast.
In addition to the safety and quiet,
Washington area residents are aware
of the absence of unsightly tempo
rary roadside fireworks stands that
have been erected for years on the
highways just across the District
line. Some of them were erected in
defiance of the zoning and building
laws and many of them created
definite traffic hazards. This year
demonstrates how non essential they
were. Public sentiment should pre-
vent them from ever doing business
again.
For years volunteer fire depart
ments have been among the chief
dispensers Of fireworks. Some may
miss the revenue derived from such
sales this year, but it is safe to pre-
dict that means Of making up for
such losses will be found. The volun-
teer firemen will get along-not as
we'll as ever-but, because of the
increase in prestige which has come
to them through the formation of
auxiliaries for defense, much better
than ever.

Juvenile Morale Saved

All war and no play makes Jack
dull boy and Jill a dull girl, so in the
interests of juvenile morale, as we'll as
a $130,0OO,000 toy industry, games
are not to be stopped for the dura-
ton. Tops will spin as usual, and
tops are also established on prices.
Even If India goes, parcheesi, the
royal game of India, will be in the
nursery, and father can sneak up
there after dark and borrow the dice
from it for a friendly little session
with the boys.
There will be less metal in the
games and toys, as it is needed for a
grimmer game with most of the rules
of fair play eliminated, but the man
ufacturers will make out somehow.
Wooden soldiers, for instance, can be
recruited by the millions, conveyed
across the playroom floor by young
strategists, and delivered to the zone
of combat to be supported with plas-
tic tanks and planes. The casualties
may run higher, but repairs will be
simpler. 1t is not always possible to
pry father out Of his easy chair to
light up a soldering iron for first aid
to a decapitated tin soldier, but it is
easy for the kids themselves to use
glue on a wooden one, and have him
back in action next day when the glue
dries-or, if completely incurable, to
pretend that he is Jap or a Nazi.

get the babies, but it is not often that ne
will be able to catch the parents
The latter usually remain in the vicini-
tv of the nest for few days before giving
up hope.
If both parents and babies are gone,
without a trace, there is very good
chance that the oldsters have taken the
youngsters away to the woods.
In such locations they meet nature in
the raw, and learn at first-hand what 1t
means to be a wren in such world as
this.
Robin and bluejay babies give KIND
hearted nature lovers their worst twists.
This column has had reports from
great many such persons this spring and
summer.
They find birds which have fallen out
of the nests and do not know what to do
with them.
They call up for information about the
feeding, etc.
Usually they report glowing success.
Sometimes at first the young robin or
Jay has to be fed forcibly.
Much to the delight of the foster par
ent, the bird quickly learns to eat without
prodding.
1t is necessary to feed often, and as
much as the creature will hold.
Water, too, is necessity. 1t Is best
given by medicine dropper at first.
In time comes the problem of what to
do with the bird. Keeping migratory
birds in cages Is against the law.
Persons with kindly hearts regret the
necessity of turning the bird over to
nature.
One Washingtonian found his robin so
tame that it perched on his shoulder
When 1t disappeared he feared that
some admirer had taken 1t.
Others have discovered that birds are
| subject to lice, of all things, and to
various diseases.
There are various pet store experts who
| may be consulted on bird ailments and
| many small books on canary bird culture
| offer good advice.
Robins and jays are not canaries, but
all species have much the same diseases
and troubles.
Bringing up lost and deserted birds Is
not altogether joy, and we would advise
persons whose minds do not run that way
to let the matter alone. Put the young
bird in tree and hope for the best.
If personal bringing up is decided upon
here are some Of the good foods:
Scraped beef, yolk Of hard-boiled egg
bread and milk and raisins cut up fine.
Feeding should be done at least ono.
an hour all through the day from dawr
to dark. Each time the bird should b'
given food until it rejects it.
If lice appear, care must be taken to us
only such powders as are guaranteed OF
the label harmless to bird life. tn

IIIiterocy and War

DR.. John w. Studebaker, United
States Commissioner of Education,
In his address before the National
Education Association at Denver, has
directed attention to one of the major
obstacles to the Nations war effort
-illiteracy. BY reason Of their
functional illiteracy," approximate
~ 100000 American adults, he
estimated, have been lost to the war
Industries and to the armed forces.
They are seriously handicapped as
soldiers and as workers, he explained,
mot because they are unintelligent,
but because they find it exceedingly
difficult to understand"
In the light of these figures, a
greater effort is clearly needed to
combat illiteracy among the adult
population Of the country. With its
mechanical equipment, modern war
requires technically trained soldiers
In industry, too, the demand today
Is for skilled craftsmen. For fight
ing men and industrial workers, edu-
cation is a valuable asset.
The Census Bureau gives the
brighter side of the picture. Accord
Ing to a recent survey Al per cent OF
all the white men inducted into the
United States Army during the past
two years are high school graduates
or have had some college training, as
