Yet 1t would be quite simple for
woman's club in every town to
take over the job Of helping out the
mother who is travelling with an In
FAINT or small child.
Most of the trouble that young
mother with baby encounters is
connected with getting on and off
and changing trains.
Hard as 1t Is to get porters in
most places now, a mother often
has to carry a baby in one arm
and its necessary travelling equip
ment in the other. And often a
young mother has to manage a
frisky Q or 3-year-old as well as
an infant.
A WORTHY PROJECT
So 1t would be good idea for
ne clubwomen of a town looking
for a worthwhile project to work
out system whereby one or half
a dozen of them, depending on
the size of the town, would be in
the station all during the day and
until midnight ready to help
mothers on and off trains and
watch their babies while they send
kilograms, get bite to eat, or get
little rest.
An arm-band could identify them
and they might fix up a corner of
the women's rest room or the gen.
eral waiting room in small stations
as a corner for children.
There is plenty of hospitality
and help available to soldiers and
war-workers on the move, but
not yet : help for their young

crops get fertilizer priorities, and
soy beans have been satisfactorily
raised without it.
Watermelons, lettuce, celery, can
taloupe, grapes, and berries will be
produced for local consumption.
Where they can be used on the spot,
for instance by an Army camp, they
will be encouraged. But fertilizer
will be limited, and storage space
and transportation won't be forth
coming for shipping them about the
country. a
overall supplies of fertilizer are
expected TO be greater than normal
in 1914. Potash will be the scarce
element. More nitrogen and phos-
pilates will be on hand. but man
power and trucking facilities to
handle it are severely limited. Pea
nuts, hemp, corn, beans, cabbage,
carrots. onions, peas, potatoes and
tomatoes will be extended the keys to
fertilizer stores. Sweet corn will be
encouraged for processing only.

Pioneering is paying off for the
sponsor Of "Star Playhouse
No expense has been spared so
that dialers to this morning NBC
series could hear for the first time
the major stars and stories that
heretofore were exclusive with the
top-buGge evening programs.
The sponsor felt that housewives
and war plant workers at home in
the morning would welcome this
departure in daylight broadcasting,
How right that premise was IL,
revealed in the result of the poll
conducted among 600 radio editors
by Motion Picture Daily.
Star Playhouse, bracketed in the
Morning Program classification. was
selected by the editors as first
choice of all morning dramatic
shows and also first choice among
all NEW morning programs.
This showing not only pleases the
sponsor but also the many big
name stars who have had to get
out Of bed early enough to start
rehearsing at six a. m.
Nothing like "Star Playhouse"
had ever been on the air in the
mornings. Just as soon as hit pic
lures were released and some
times even before "Star Play
house" dramatized them, usually
with the same cast as that on the
screen
This new trend in daytime pro-
gramming has been watched keenly
by radio experts. Now that "Star
Playhouse" has been given two dis
tinct laurel wreaths by the critics
in this country and Canada. other
programs of similar pattern will
probably be fashioned to keep 1t
company.
"Star Playhouse Is heard Mon
days through Fridays and usually
the dramatized story is completed In
five episodes. There are occasional
deviations from that practice. When
q film story runs longer but is
considered important enough for
broadcast purposes, 1t is extended to
ten radio episodes in two weeks.
Currently, on "Star Playhouse" Is

ton of story and star that has
