For guy who made big hit IN

the month-he's also the bands
manager-acts in all of Kay's NOV
les, collects and publicly reads the
essays. Such as this essay on feet:
Feet are stuff that people who
walk all, over others usually can't
stand on their own two. Feet have
toes which is the same as fingers
on hands, only without so much
knuckle. Toes on feet run from small
to large, but sergeants' feet run from
small to ridiculous. Feet are stuff
that never git lost because when you
go to bed they always turn up"
But to get back to the acting de-
partment, which is the reason for
todays dispatch.
In Kyser's latest filmusical for
RKO. around the World" Ish
Kabibble, teamed with Joan Davis,
was given more comedy than he'd
ever done before the cameras. When
studio big-shots previewed the film
the other day they laughed so long
and loud they fell right down on
their faces and smashed their fat
cigars.
The studio is now thinking of

We THE WOMEN
Women Still Shun Drudgery
In War Jobs, SAYS Millett
WE. THE WOMEN

There are plenty OF women Tor
the type of jobs that are Inter
esting' and that make good con-
versation.
But when the OPA asked for
1000 New York housewives to walk
from store to store checking on
ceiling prices there were only IL
women willing to take on the job.
DO NECESSARY WORK
If there is anything the Ameri-
can housewife should consider i'm
portant, it is the war on black
markets, which can't be waged
successfully without an extensive
network OF Investigators.
Yet because the job offers no
chance for sociability, is firing,
and doesn't give woman a chance
10 wear an attractive uniform, 1T
mas no appeal for women.
For women are still asking the
wrong question before taking on
volunteer work. They are still ask
ing, SIS the job Interestingly" in
stead of, as the job important,
and necessary to the war effort?"

But those who see in these draft

Siding with Stimson, astute, sill
ver-haired DR.. Minnie L. Maffett,
president of the National Fedora

COLLEGE RECRUITS
Youthful and clever Daphne Ro-
bert, president of the National Asso-
citation of Women Lawyers, suggests
that consideration be given draft
ing of eligible girls of college age
to fill the requirements of Women's
branches of the armed forces, with
an opportunity to choose between
essential war work and the women's
services"
The experience in either of these
fields would stand them in good
stead at the wars end, she points
out, and assure service women equal
opportunity with the men to COM
plete their education at the end Of
the war.
However, she feels as do most of
our country's women leaders, that a
campaign directed to women who,
from a financial standpoint do not
need to work, urging them into civ
ilian industry and the services would
dispel the need for drafting woman
power.

Washington, Dec 27-Colors OF

work out precise measurements for
ZIG standard colors.
Colored cloth samples are meas

an x, y, z formula representing red,

nearly human in faculty it some
times throws up its hands and
gives up in complete confusion on

The prime motive for this color

precise specifications for the 46

the Army and the % colorc of mil
