Is a Moral Pinup
HOLLYWOOD


w. c. Fields has received notifica-
ton Of his choice as pin-up man of
Sub Chaser 1860, now in action
against the enemy.
Fields was informed of the honor
in letter from Ensign Herbert S.
Howes, commanding officer, who
said that a large picture of the
bulb-nosed comedian adorns the
bulkheads Of the ship and that 1t
is often used as an illustration to
various crew members who have
been doing the town" on leave.

as guest of honor at large lunch
con party at the Carlton. Little
Miss Powell, who is IA years old
and has a surprisingly fine voice
which seems much more mature
than its owner, took the tribute
with the prim and wonderful poise
that goes with her age. Charlie
Mccarthy, the worlds brightest
dummy, at whose wooden knee ane
from whose impudent lips she ha.
learned most of her early drama
lessons, can be proud of her. She
is a modest, pleasant, smiling little
girl who seems blithely unaffected
by the fact that she has had s
strikingly successful start on wha'
promises to be considerable career
It is the purpose Of James cinema
employer - Metro-G -GoldWyn- Mayer
who loaned her to United Artists
for her first picture, Song OF the
Open Road"-that she shall be the
next Deanna Durbin. That is q
high purpose and difficult one. To
its achievement Jane brings three
assets. The fundamental one is an
excellent voice. The others are ma
turalness equivalent to Deanna's at
the same age and the fact that she
looks like any other little girl of ID
instead of being astoundingly beau
tiful. She looks as If she could ride
bike like any other tomboy or dis
like her milk, both of which she does
Cbut don't tell the children we
said so).
On the sound theory that inter-
views between child stars and the
press are certain to be less than bril-
liant, the feature of James lunch
con was her singing.
It was preceded by the normally
relaxed conversation, from which 1t
developed that Jane liked Washing
ton from the minute she saw that
Oregon was listed among the "a
whose names are on the Lincoln Me-
mortal. She figured 1t was no less
than Oregon, her home State, de-
served, but it made her feel neigh
borly toward us seeing it there
Her older likes are the ones to be
expected, Charlie Mccarthy, Mr.
Bergen, Mortimer Snurd, Hollywood
the radio, the movies, and tea better
than milk.
Most of all, since 1t was the first
thing and certainly the most sue
cessful she ever did, Jane likes tc
sing.
Her luncheon audience liked her
liking that. For its members, she
sang three numbers, an aria, that
lifting Irish thing, "A Little Bit OF
Heaven" and Here 1t Is One Day,
from her picture.
Not having had much experience
with getting in the plug for her pic
ture, Jane forgot to sing the latter
until her press agent reminded her

way from Beowulf through Cole
Porter.
One of the most pleasant things
about it was that no microphone
was, involved. Jane has grown
rather accustomed to one in her
radio and movie careers, brief
though they have been, but its ABB
Sence did not make the slightest
difference to her. She sang as If
the microphone had not been in
vented in voice that is one of the
most attractive inventions nature
has devised for Hollywood's devel-
opment in years.
She will do a lot of singing, easily
like that, before her tour comes to
its climax with the premiere of the
picture in her home town of Port
land, Ore, on June /. That Is the
event Jane Is looking forward to
most of all. Portland is where she
is never even the least little bit
lonely, where she thinks she always
will be happiest to be. 1
That kind of loyalty is another
nice thing about her.

Cites Strikes
AT Chrys|er

Charging that strikes in the
ChrySler plants have increased
since that corporation signed
contract with the UAW-CIO and
that the policies of the federal
government are actually TO blame
for a great many labor disputes,
Nicholas Kelley, general counsel
for the Chrysler Corp, cited the
WLB hearing at which he APP
peared as one concrete instance.
Kelley and Robert II. Gender,
Chrysler labor relations director,
and Fay II. Taylor, personnel di-
rector of Briggs Manufacturing
Co. were questioned yesterday by
a special WLB panel sent TO De-
troit to hear disputes between the
Foremens Association of America
and several big plants.

OF what am saying" Kelley
told the panel, "but when the
FOremen's Association of Amer
lea can call "A sudden strike, then
90 to the WLB and get a panel
to come out here To consider
whether they should have bar
gaining rights or other things, 1
say that is putting premium
on strikes"
Gender pointed out that since
November, 1889, there have beer
$50 strikes in the ChrySler plants
and that all have been in violation
of the union-company contract.
S4I5 A MONTH WAGE
Taylor testified that the average
take-home pay of Briggs foremer
is SAILS AS compared with S25l {

Moons Surface Rough;
Devoid of Atmosphere

The moon is 2. 100 miles in diam
eter. It revolves around the earth at
an average distance of 238, 900 miles.
Its surface is extremely rough. the
most important Typographical fea-
lures being high, steep mountains,
extensive smooth plains. and myri-
ads of circular trimmed formations
which have been termed craters. 1t
is considered to be devoid of at
mosphere and moisture. Because OF
the absence Of these. the moons
surface experiences extremes OF
temperature which take place with
great suddenness and which may be
assumed to bring about rapid fras-
mentation of exposed rocks. Their
NAL and photometric studies indicate
that the surface materials of the
moon are porous, or else are loosely
piled, and that they are Of a rather
dark color.
Lunar gravity is only about one
sixth as, great at the moons surface
as is gravity at the surface OF the
earth. The average density of the
substance of the moon expressed in
terrestrial. terms is about 3.4 as
against Sc for the earth, writes H.

WE FREQUENTLY hear farm
wv ers raise the question as to
whether or not they should buy
War Bonds as long as they are in
debt. The answer to this question
should depend in large measure
upon the nature of the debt and
whether or not it is current. If part
of it is past due, and the borrower
expects to experience difficulty In
meeting past due payments, he
probably should bring his debt into
current position before investing
in Bonds. If, however, his pay
ments are current, there seems to
be no reason why farmers should
not buy as many Bonds as they
are able. Most individual invest
ors in government Bonds are car
rying debt in one form or an
other. at rates higher than the
Eonds will yield. This is as it
should be if the purchaser is in an
earning position which permits the
accumulation O. some surplus, for
we all owe it to our government
TO Go o'Ir utmost in the financing
of the war, even though the trans
;.ctiCn may result III our paying
some extra interest on outstand-
ing debts.
When a farmer owes money, he
is always concerned as to whether
his crops will sell at prices which
will enable him to repay his debt.
When prices are high it is good
business and conservative finance
to reduce the debt as rapidly as
possible because when prices are
low, it takes more crops and more
efforts to make the payments.
We should not forget, how
ever, that a government Bond
will pay of an equal amount
Of dollars of debt, no matter
whether prices are high or
whether prices are low. 1t is,
therefore, q sound and con-
servative practice to buy gov
eminent Bonds and lay them

The Farmer and

Master Of the National Grange

aside to make payments on
existing debts when they fall
due. In fact, quite aside from
the patriotic appeal, It is good
business to buy Bonds rather
than make proponents on
debt. because the time may
come when the ready cash is
needed and the money tied up
in pre-payments cannot be re-
turned. If this money is in
vested in Bonds, it can be con-
yerted into cash to meet any
needs which may arise.
II everyone followed the policy
of buying no War Bonds until their
debts were paid, few Bonds would
be sold to the public. We have an
obligation to help finance this war
which is vastly more important
than the income we may receive
on the investment of money in
War Bonds.
Farmers are finding it impossi-
ple to maintain their machinery
and buildings in satisfactory
state of repair. They are finding
that they cannot replace WORKOUT
equipment except at excessively
high cost.
It would seem to be sound
and conservative business
practice to lay aside money
to make the repairs and re-
place WORKOUT equipment
when material and machines
are again available. No safer
place can be found to lay aside
money for such purposes than
in government Bends.
Every time we buy a Bond we
are not only assisting in financing
the war, but we are also doing our
bit to prevent that most dreaded
economic disaster called imitation.
If each one of us would invest as
much as we could in government
Bonds, the danger OF imitation
would be greatly reduced.

No one here yet seems to have
an answer to these questions which

Postwar Plans for
Germany Unsettled
By Paul Malloh

ALI officials have been ihoie
than q trifle timid in commenting
on the Morgenthau plan to cut the
industrial segment out of the post
war German map, as well as upon
the earlier plans to divide her
into three or more parts.
Congress. however, seems 70 De
eenerally opposed to both' as iar
las sentiment among the aosentee
ra.dsre has been canvassed. Brief
bv their average unexpressed
bbo,ehts run about like this:
There will be 80 to 40 million
people in Germany, or into what
EVER parts it is divided and these
,eople will have to live or be dis
posed of in some other way:
If they are unable to make an
existence at home, you could dis.
pose of them by following the Nazi
custom. and allow them to be cart
ed off to Russia as slave labor. Or
custom of shooting them.
Things like that might bring on
future wars. They brought on
this one. They cannot or should
not be considered.
The economy of Germany was
tied TO her industry. not to her
agriculture. She never raised
Il on her farms to feed her
and had to import much
of her grain. fruits and other
foods. But she existed. and
largely through the resources OF
her industrial production in such
a restricted way as to give Hit
Ter an excuse for being.
Therefore, I believe the average
CONGRESSMAN would have some
plan to keep her at least on self
sustaining basis. If she can be
sept demilitarized, assuredly so, it
would satisfy him.
