AS we mentioned the other day,
Humphrey Bogart has no intention
of becoming a romantic matinee
idol despite all the hullabaloo he
created among the ladies in Gas
ablanca." In fact, Bogart would
like to elaborate on the subject.
Let the great lovers have all the
romantic business" he says. For
that matter they can have all the
women. I can't think of anything
better than a picture without a
single woman. Making a picture
like that would really be a pleasure.
Take kisses, for example. It's a
nuisance. Every time I kiss the
leading lady the makeup depart
ment has to go TO work and give
her a new face. What businessn
Just skating, says Sonia Henie
is a cinch. The things involved In
getting the skating on the screen
nalatably are what get her down
There's the matter of facing the
camera, for instance. Naturally
one can't skate forward Wltnou'
becoming monotonous. The al
tentative is to skate backward
either directly or quartering witt
the camera" And since Sonjs
doesn't come equipped with rear
vision mirror, she must elud'
bordering trees, snow obstacles
cameras and assorted lights spotted
about the ice.
Then there's the music. All o
her skating specialties are pre-
cisely executed to the beat of pre-
recorded music Like a dancer
she is cued in her routines By tn
mustic and there must be hour
of rehearsal before anything goe

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

All right, jim, you win.
Women ARE contrary creatures.
I see your point.
They fight and fight and fight to
wear pants, even when it means
that they get froWned on by college
deans and high school principals,
and get sent out of courts OF law to
put on dresses out of respect to the
bench.
And then when things begin to
quiet down, when it looks as though
most of the world respects their
right to wear pants even though
sometimes making fun OF the way
they look in them the girls have
got to kick up another row.
In a job where the management
says slacks are necessary Tor
safety the girls suddenly decide
that they want to work in dresses.
Stacks, they decide, brightly and
all by themselves, just ar:n't teml-
nine enough for their taste.
They prefer dresses, and this Is
free country isn't it, and If they
want to wear dresses they will-or
know the reason why
So I guess you're right, jim.
Women are queer creatures, who
either don't know what they want,
or else don't want what they get
after they get it.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-07-19
HAS HER LICKED

You're right, too, in saying there's
no use trying to understand them.
You win all round today jim
This fight to wear dresses has me
licked.
It will take me at least until to-
morrow to figure out way to try
to explain women to you as logical
beings. Their latest stand gives
YOUR side too much ammunition.
Meanwhile I'll even grant you the
right to go around saying isn't
that just like a woman!"
Isn't it just, jim?

Costume JeweIry, Glasses
Needed in War Effort

To those wanting to help I'm the
war effort and who have little time
TO give, here are two suggestions
made at the American Legion
Auiliary's district meeting Sunday
in San Diego.
The Naval hospital at San Diego
wants all those small glasses which
originally contained cheese spreads
that it can get, and the war and
navy departments want all the old
bits of costume jewelry that can be
donated, these pieces of jewelry
being carried by American fliers in
the South Seas TO be used for bar
ter with the natives.
For the hospital, thousands of
these glasses are needed as the
wounded and i'll servicemen from
the war zones must have fruit
juices many times a day, necessitat-
ing a large supply of glasses.
American fliers in the South
Seas need the costume jewellery to
use for bartering with the natives
10 whom money means nothing bui
t. whom the sparkling bits oi
! ieWelry are treasures. Possession oi
these pieces of jowelry may save
the life of American men and the
government is eager to collect al
available.
