Raising chickens on wire has
become such science that poul-
try fanciers say a brood of hens
or fryers can be kept in a small
basement pen without any trou-
BILE or smell. The chicks are fed
cod liver oil in lieu of sunshine,
and not getting any exercise, the
meat is wonderfully tender. Be-
cause of this development a lot
of people have figured they
would raise their own chickens
in the back yard or the attic,
and so beat meat rationing. But
Department of Agriculture ex-
perts, while admitting this is a
good idea, point out that most
cities have ordinances against
keeping chickens in town and
advise a checkup on local zon-
ing laws before building a pen
or buying baby chicks.

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
Background for stardom: She
can never remember when she
hasn't wanted TO act. And al
though she's famous star now,
she very nearly lost her life, not
to mention her ambition. The
near-tragedy occurred at a
boarding school in the Berk-
shire hills when the girl, then 8,
was filling her first dramatic
role. 1t wasn't much of a part,
but it meant everything to her.
1t was a happy Christmas pag
cant and the girl was taking the
part of Santa Claus.
The school hall rang with the
laughter of youngsters. The lit
tie girl was dressed in a gay red
suit and long white Whiskers.
Suddenly a scream and the hor-
rid shout Of Fire" The greedy
flames shot high, licking at the
heavily laden tree, catching at
the Santa Claus beard and in
flicting horrible burns on her
face and body.
For eight weeks she lay ST.
lently in a darkened room -
eight fateful weeks when doctors
despaired of her eyesight and
even of life itself. Then one
day the child was led out into
the light. The bandages were re-
moved. Mamma she cried
pitifully. Mamma, I can see
again." Her name, Bette Davis.
A BOOST TO FAME
Fate has played many strange
pranks in Hollywood but this
story is the strangest one of
them all. The. story of tie sales
man and a girl-and a casual
remark that came true. Ten
years ago a young actor, down
on his luck, took a job as tie
salesman in a Los Angeles de-
partment store.
Busy writing out a sales tic
ket, the young man didn't no.
tice the approach of a girl to
his counter. She selected two
dozen ties as gifts and then,
looking at the boy, asked if he d
ever thought of trying for a
film career. The boy was too
flabbcrgasted and embarrassed
TO answer.
A few months later the young
actor received the break he'd
been waiting for. a contract at
one of Hollywood's largest stu
dios. And in less than a year he
was cast opposite the girl, Joan
Crawford He, Robert Young.

She was convicted in Justice
Court of battery, and sentenced
to serve 60 days in Jail and fined
$3.50. The jail sentence later was
suspended, and so was $3.50 of
her fine. Mrs. McMullen con-
tended in her appeal that the
charge against her did not con-
stitute battery.
She is charged with spraying

But the fighting men did not

that lived will fight again-and

Hershey does not analyze the
battle, nor does he report it in
detail. He is more concerned
with the men who fought there,
their attitude before the adj

PAY INCREASE REQUESTS

In the three months since the
wage and salary stablization or
ders were put into effect, some
$4,000 inquiries on pay in
creases have been received by
regional offices of the Wage and
Hour Division, which handles
these matters in the first in
stance. Three-fourths of the in
quiries have come from employ
ers wanting to raise wages to
pay more NOR ey to keep labor
or to induce new workers to
take jobs. One application out of
every 10 mas come to the War
Labor Board in Washington,
which has piled a load of 1000
more decisions to be made in the
capital. Getting out from under
that burden, the board will soon
open IL new regional offices
with IL Little WLB's" to
handle all labor disputes.
With this further decentraliza-
ton, the War Labor Board in
Washington will sit as sort of
Supreme Court on labor disputes
and wage issues, handling only
only those cases in which en-.
ployer or employees may appeal
the decision of the regional
board.
Biggest headache which the
War Labor Board now faces is
the application from unions
wanting to go above the limit set
by the Little Steel formula of
last July, which authorized in
creases in wages of up to Is per
cent above Jan. l, 1941, levels.
