First Aid to Reporters.
Maj. Seversky, stocky chap with
sharp eyes, a Russian accent that
does arresting tricks with one OF
two letters Of the alphabet, and q
shock of iron-gray hair that 'cellist
could envy (but not DR.. Hans
Kindler) is a startling novelty in
cinema press party history. He
knows more answers than the ag-
gregate of reporters knows ques-
tons. When one one asks a ques-
ton he goes right on with an answer
to one Of his own, much better
question than any one is likely to
have asked.
Maj. Seversky Is further rare
phenomenon at cinema press
party in that he does not discuss
the cinema. He Is a crusader fol-
air power, an Army officer on in
active status going around speaking
the collective mind of air officers
on active duty who are unable to
speak for themselves.
The Disney. picture, which is the
phrase he uses to describe 1t almost
as If 1t were not the Seversky pic
ture also, strikes him as the most
wonderful thing that every hap
pened to crusader. 1t gives him
chance to get his point OF view
before millions of people who could
not be reached in any other way
He is aWed when he thinks of the
effectiveness of it, as who wouldn' t
be?
That is quite different, Mai
Seversky says with commendable
frankness, from his original at
titude toward the Disney project.
His book, naturally, struck him as
desperately serious project, one
undertaken to sell military philos-
ophy viewed as radical by those to
whom it must be sold.

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Oracle Fields, the Lancashire
millhand, who became England's
favorite singing Coincidence, and
has won herself = bright spot with
American audiences, has gone home
but not to stay.
She will take the rest Of the sum-
mer to entertain servicemen of the
Allied forces In England, or wher-
ever she may be sent overseas to
British forces, and will return late
in September to fulfill screen and
radio contracts in Hollywood.
This tour is resumption OF the
work that the blues chasing Oracle
has carried on ever since England
went to war. She has toured Canada
twice for the Naval League Of the
British and Canadian Navy, trav-
eled the United States from ocean
to ocean for British war relief, Wis
tied camps and munitions factories
here and in England making tired
workers and homesick boys in uni
form laugh at her stories and sing
with her in the choruses of her non
sensical songs like Walter, Lead
Me to the Altar" and the prime
favorite, THE Largest Aspidistra in
the World"
During Britain's darkest days, she
was one of the greatest single forces
for morale, with her quaint dialect
stories and songs, and her ire
pressihle high spirits. Recently, in
British broadcast beamed to Ger
many, the announcer tossed her as
a threat at the Berliners, saying,
What are you going to do now that
Oracle Fields is coming home?"
This story pleases Oracle enor-
mously.
Back to Her Children.
An incidental objective Of her trip
to England will be a visit to Peace
haven, the children's home she has
maintained for 10 years, where 80
orphaned children of stage fam
lilies live and are educated.
Present plans call for endowing
the home, and Oracle already has
ticketed her share in "Stage Door
Canteen" in England, about $4,000,
as nest egg. She plans to raise
more at charity concert in London
II started with one child we took, "
Oracle recalls land then they began
| paying me such ridiculous sums of
money for my work that I had to
look around to find something to
| do with it all. Then some other
children turned up, and others, SC
I founded the home. It's funny
thing, with all the children who
have gone out from it during those
Is years we've had it. not one has
gone on the stage. Perhaps their
parents shouldn't have, in the first
place." she giggled.
Meanwhile Oracle has made ur
her mind about new direction in
her professional career before the
cameras.
I'm fortyish, I am" she says
land that's middle age. I don't
want to spend the rest Of my life
leanin' on pianos and shoutin' songs
Let the young girls have chance
want to get over onto the acting
side.
Muse in the Kitchen.
II don't yant to do serious drama
like most comics. I don't even want
to do sophisticated comedy. My
comedy is kitchen comedy, not draw
ing room Or bedroom. I couldn't do
those things, Ill stick to what ]
know"
Oracle Fields regards herself with
a humorous and realistic slant. AS
for her age, she could easily deny it.
Her peaches-and-cream English
complexion is unlined, her blue eyes
bright, her figure good. Only. her
hair shows touches of gray at the

Baking materials are precious
these days, and burning a cake is
little short of a tragedy. When
putting a cake into the oven set an
alarm clock for the time the cake
should be finished baking. This is
a big help, especially when visi-

forget all about the cake in the

Most Northerly Farm

The Norilsk State farm, a Soviet
agricultural enterprise, stands on
the 10th parallel in the midst of a
desert region, in the zone of eter-
nal frost. There the Arctic night
lasts for nearly two months. There
are frequent heavy billiards, when
the thermometer drops to so de-
grees below zero centigrade.
Potatoes, cabbages, onions, car
rots and sugar beets are grown
successfully in the open fields of
this Arctic farm. Tomatoes, GU
cumbers and spinach are raised in
% lighthouses. An experimental
sowing of melons has yielded en-
couraging results.
Livestock thrives on the farm,
and is rapidly increasing in num-
Der. There are 1873 COWS, all born
in this Arctic region. A subsidiary
farm houses 200 pigs of pure York
shire breed.
Last year the possibility of grow
ing oats for fodder was dem
onstrated by the yield from an ex-
detrimental planting of so acres.
Orchard trees bloom during the
short Arctic summer. They are
still very young and bear no fruit
at present.

pay windows are much in vogue
- again. One reason for this is
that modern methods of hanging
curtains make bay windows more
attractive than they used to be in
the Gay Nineties when they were
a feature of so many houses.
In those old houses the vertical
lines of woodwork and wall show
ing between windows made the
bay seem like coop stuck on the
outside of the house. Many home
owners had the bays removed be-
cause, while they actually added
space, they made rooms seem
small and cluttered.
Today curtains are hung to COW
er both wall and woodwork around
the individual windows in the bay.
This brings the group of windows
together as a unit and makes the
bay seem a broad and spacious
part of the room. The sketch at
the right shows a standard fixture

Fight the Forgery Racket!
BY FRANK J. WILSON
Chief, United States Secret Service

WE HAVE learned that check
W thieves steal other mail to
help them establish Identification
when they try to cash forged
checks. This article is intended
for storekeepers who pay out
money for government checks.
Before you accept any govern
ment check, ask yourself this ques-
ton: eff this check is returned
because of a forged endorsement,
can I locate the forger and recOv-
er my loss?"
A government check is good only
when it is properly endorsed by
the person to whom it is issued.
If you pay your good money for a
government check which bears a
forged endorsement, you are the
loser.
Remember - don't hesitate to
question stranger who asks you
ITO cash a government check. It's
YOUR money that's at stake, and
most forgers are usually in hur-
ry. Questions make them nervous.
