You don't have to look at Joan
Bennett twice to know that she
knows the secrets. And it's a very
nice of job of writing, too.
There's even a chapter the men
should read, How to Attract Men, -
in which the star eXplodes what
she calls three popular myths, Hes
Just a Little Boy Grown Tall"
"All Men Fall for a Pretty Face"
and Keep En- Guessing"
Joan wrote in longhand. 1t took
her year and nine months. "Just
year longer than to have u
baby" she laughs. She wanted to
title it, Beauty for Beast" but the
publishers said no. They were
afraid people would think it was an
animal story.
Now that she's written a book
titled, How to Be Attractive, "
Joan says she finds it rather en-
barrassing. There was the time,
for instance, she went shopping in
Westwood Village with her hair in
curriers', no makeup, and wearing a
snood and pajamas.
"a woman walked up to me and
said she recognized my voice. She
said she hoped to sell lot of
copies of my book. She was the
owner of a book store down the
street. I expected her to say,
Why don't you find out yourself.
Joan said she started thinking
about the book two years ago. She
couldn't decide whether to write
about raising children she's the
book of beauty hints. Finally she
decided on the latter.
But I'm still going to write those
other two some day." she says.
Actual writing of the book was
strictly unorthodox. First thing she
did, Joan said, was to figure out
the chapter headings. Then the
sub-chapters. Then the illustra-
tions. Then, she said, she started
writing.
And no cracks, please" she
laughed, about my deciding on the
cover OF the books jacket before it
was written
First day she tried debating to
her secretary. But that didn't work.
So she wrote the entire book in
longhand. The first draft came
back with a note from the publisher
It was very good, the publisher
said, but it was too short. Would
she write several thousand more
words, please.
$50 I wrote and wrote some more
and finally the publisher sent me
the galley proofs. But the length
of them, I thought 1 had out
written Gone With the Wind"
And then the book almost didn't
get printed. Joan said she mailed
the completed manuscript to the
publisher just three days before
fire completely destroyed her
Beverly Hills home. IF the manu-
script had been burned" she said,
81 would never have rewritten it,"
Some of Joan's advice to the
ladies on how to attract men:
Never publicly correct a man-for
his manners, his English or his
opinions. Never break a date for
a later and more attractive invita-
ton. Don't lie to man. Refuse
to answer, edit or even evade, but
avoid the lie direct. 1t catches up
with you.

So much has been said recently

the farmers get what they need to

Phosphate fertilizer again. The
situation looks a little better than
it did the last time we reported but
there still isn't going to be enough
to go around.
The first ALLEGATION of 12,645 tons
is coming in rapidly and being dis
tributed according to the rules set
up by the state war board. Some
is treble and some is single.
Distribution is made at the rate
of 500 pounds per acre for "a
crops and 200 pounds for "B" crops
with none going to melons and
lettuce.
Now we are to get an addition
5000 tons which will go out at 400
pounds per acre for "A" crops and
about 10 pounds for "B' crops
Some will go to melons and lettuce
but the bulk of the fertilizer for
those two crops will still come
from other sources. Application
rates and the tonnage above are
calculated on the basis of 20 per
cent single superphosphate.
We are trying for 5000 tons
more. Farmers who are still short
should place their orders through
their dealers or AAA SO that they
will be on the list if we do get it.

CATION. For extreme isolationism
did not develop until much later.
This extreme isolation was, I
believe, the result of mistaken
effort to carry the United States
too far and too deeply into the in
terror affairs of the European Con-
tinent. Wilson's insistence upon
the obligation of Article x forced
the nation to very bad choice:
either to involve itself in every
disputed European question or to
withdraw from the organization of
the general peace of the world.
1t was quite unnecessary to con-
front the nation with this choice
The issues which are primarily
European could have been left to
the European states Immediately
concerned, and there would have
remained an immensely useful
field for continuing American col
laboration.
We shall be well advised to learn
this lesson. 1t is necessary to say
this because there are ominous
signs in the State Department and
in certain journalitic quarters that
the lessons of the Wilsonian error
have not been well studied. Yet
