Movie Miracle: Hollywood didn't
think it possible. but a gentleman
named Charles w. Koerner has
put the o. K back into the RKO
Radio Studio. And in less than
nine months It's one of those
film-town miracles columnists sell

glamor attached to it. But it's
success story riyaling any cellu-
loid success story. With an IL
million dollar company at stake.
Nine months ago the RKO Ra-
dio studio was in debt up to
mark just below the gold ea.le
atop its flag pole. There was even
talk of hooking the eagle. A sue
cession of very bad pictures and
number of producers who oper-
ated on the theory that they all

Lilly Dache In
Advice On Hat
Selection

WASHINGTON, March 13.-tUP)
Topped with hats by Lilly Dache,
government girls emerged today
from the Navy's four-day "glamor
clinic" trying to look as smooth as
a modern destroyer.
No nautical lore-but plenty OF
lure-Was taught at the clinic where
the girls learned to smooth away
career girl bumps, eliminate
emergency spread, roll their
eyes, raise their busts, wear fetch
ing hats. In short, the clinic was
designed to help the girls along in
a city where they outnumber men
three to one, and where most of
the men are married.
In last nights closing session
Lilly Dache told 1900 enthusiastic
government girls that when man
tells his girl her hat is silly he
really means: Darling, that doesn't
make you look as pretty as YOU
really should"
The famous hat creator admon-
ished them: Choose your hat with
the man in your life in mind
She then took up the case of the
man who buys his wife's hats.
Mems taste is often very veay
good" she said. II can really
tell by what they buy whether they
want their wives to be demur or
sirens"
That Americas fighting men are
not afraid to tackle any problem
was evident from her next remark: :
Men in uniform often come into
my salon to buy hats for their
wives and sweethearts."
For the girls who have to buy
their own hats, she laid down these
rules:
/. Buy a hat standing Up. Don't
buy hat unless you look at your
self-standing up-in a full-length
mirror so that you can judge the
hat in proportion to your body
g. AS a wartime measure check
with your wardrobe. 1t is not
practical in wartime to buy a hat
which goes VIII only one dress.
3. BUy hat when your hair
looks the worst. If 1t looks we'll,
then it will look we'll on you any
time.
The Dache recipe for glamour
land it's tested is: Buy one lee
tie functional dress, becoming
hat, and put your glamour into
! perfume and accessories. She
! Winked at the audience.
Men should be charmed she
! added.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

1t has never been as easy as it
is today to be the kind of per-
son CItr people like 10 have
around. You don't need money,
great wit, or even &C" Sticker
on your automobile. All you have
to do is follow three simple rules.
Keep your troubles to yourself
Most people are going around talk
ing about their troubles these days
You know how it is. They're wor-
ried about the member of the
family who is in the war. They're
worried about taxes. Everybody
IT the family has a cold So if you
don't make anyone listen to your
troubles, you'll be blessed relief.
Show some enthusiasm for liv-
ing. People are SO engroSsed in
the war that it is easy for them
to forget that it doesn't hurt the
war effort for them to enjoy the
things they still have and the
things they are stlD aole to do.
The person who still knows how
to have fun can give a roomful
OF people a lift. Enthusiasm Tor
living - try to see if .
you can't start an epidemic of it
among your owl. acquaintance.
DON'T BE DEPRESSING
Don't make gloomy predictions
fol the future. 1t seems to be the
thing nowadays when people get
together for the talk to be de-
pressing as everybody can make
it. The gist of it is that things are
going to be lot worse before we
win the war, and even if we win
it, the postwar world will be an
awful mess. That may all be true,
hut why depress ourselves and
other people by making it our chief
topic of conversation?
Follow those rules and every
body you know will be glad to see
you coming And you can really
feel ytu are doii3 Something
worthwhile, for you'll be build
ing morale in every cheerful,
constructive thing you say.
And that doesn't mean going
around saying with sickly smile,
We'll just have to make the best
Df things"

evaders who are being sought to-
day by the FBI here, at least a
dozen are easy TO find because
they are in prison, and one is a
will-o' -the-wisp whose quaintness
intrigues John S. Bugas, the F'BI
chief.
The Peter Pan is John p. Della
georges, who told selective service
officials that If ever his country
needed him he could be found at
michigan and Cass avenues.
The time has come when he IS
needed. But there are a lot of
men, Of one description or another,
standing around Cass and Mich
igan.

who lives under a lamppost at the
corner. FBI agents have listed
Delageorges among the draft de-
linquents.
DIDN'T SHOW UP
The II prison inmates were re-
ported TO the FBI for one reason
they failed to show up for in
lduction.
The law says reporter else"
Iron bars and concrete walls
kept them from being present, it
developed. So they are listed as
delinquent. Some of them are in
Jackson Prison and others in the
Detroit HeHse of Correction.
II turned out that almost a
third of the draft evaders were
registered at Selective Service
Board %. which is the board con-

To be exact. this board listed
631 evaders out Of the 2,067 total

more in the process Of being typed.

frequenters, river-front casuals,
