one of radios most prolific pro- ducers and also one of it's greatest enigmas is Hi Brown. masternind of Station WATR and the Blue Nett works Adventures of Nero wolfe" thrillers, heard Fridays from ' to 7:30 p. m.
 Just 32, Brown recently celebrated his fifteenth anniversary in this ethereal thing called radio. Tn that time he has produced and directed more than 15,000 dramatic broad casts. from five-a-week serials to half hour productions. He once had 35 shows going each week-six ser- ials and five thirty minute dramas.
 Yet despite his prodigious role, Brown is practically unknown to the listening public. His daily tasks producing, directing, reading and revising scripts and confabs with his stable" of wrtters-leave little time for personal matters, including interviews.
 Even within the industry he is kind of enigma. A lone wolf, so to speak, he has never had an office or assisting organization of any kind. He handles his own correspondence ito keep it personal and carries the rest of the details around in his head. His home is his "base of operations" but rarely can he be reached there after g a. m. A mes- sage service intercepts any phone calls after he leaves and relays them in surprisingly fast time consider ing the extent of his daily peregri- nations around Radio Row.
 Tall dark, handsome and athlet- ically inclined (he's an expert horse man) Brown got his start in radio in 1927, while student at the City College of New York. His first job was-reading poetry. He might have become a lawyer instead but flunked his bar exams, fact for which he now is most grateful, he says.
 He hasn't had a vacation in ten years. In retrospect, he confesses to two major ambitions. On is above all else" to be an actor. The other is to produce a play as soon as the time is available"

GAY APPLIQUE BRICHTENS DRAB CORNERSI
BY EPSIE KINARD NEA Staff Writer

New York.-Turning a drab or shabby room into the sprtghtliest spot in the house is cinch, if you'll use gay wall paper applique it comes in dozens of designs, is ready-cut and carries its own paste on its back-and repeat whatever applique design you pick in chintZes, potted plants and other easy-to- swing ideas
 Have you, for instance. sunny breakfast nook that needs a beauty treatment? Pick ivy-leaf applique, frightened by red berries, to frame your window. A package of applique contains seven sections, which you can wet, paste on almost any kind of surface and make into a gar- land over your window. You also can use single motifs of ivy to paste on the doors of a built-in cabinet; use the ivy trim to run a single border up the back of chair; make ivy-printe chinted chintz into a chair cushions; and put potted ivy in your plant stands.
 Maybe you have a bedroom that needs 8 spruce up? Pick a morn ing glory applique, put wreath of it over the mirror of your dressing table and use some more of the ap- plique as border or to panel your closet door. Paste a couple of morn ing glory motifs under the glass top of your dressing table Choose a morning glory chintz and make toss-on pillows for your bed; 8 cushion for your dressing table bench.
 If your bathroom needs deco rating tonic, dose it up with lotus pool applique, used as wainscoting to give that effect. There are single fly-a-way birds in the lotus pool package which are clever to use for decorating a bathroom mirror or wall cabinet. Use them in pairs on each drawer of a clothes cabi- net or on a clothes hamper. Go one step farther, and embroider or applique birds or lotus blossoms on your towels and wash rags.

 His partner, Lee Hazen, nearly bid seven hearts, but he explained later, remembered that one time Lochridge, playing with A. M. Barnes, said to Barnes, Let me do the bidding for our side. Lochridge had bid six diamonds. Barnes. hold ing five diamonds to the king jack and two aces, bid seven. Down one!"
 So Hagen decided to let Loch- ridge do all the bidding, and passed. The king of spades was opened and Lochridge made seven by ruffing the ten of clubs.

 That is just part of marriage. and it isn't all one-sided. either. Look at the rugged men who put up with having silly looking lap dog around the house because their ul-- tra-feminine wives love the "cute little things"

 Making a partner put up with something to which he is allergic constitutes cruelty in a divorce court-but in a successful mar riage 1t is just to be expected and endured.

 One of the most amazing things about The New Adventures of Per- " Mason" heard Mondays through Fridays via CBS, is the fact that the author of the popular whodunit series, Erie Stanley Gardner, has never once repeated a plot situation in the 21 years he has been writing mysteries, whose total number Is by now astronomical.

vegetable packing business - toma- toes, peas, snap beans, and corn which amount to half the total pack bulk, were priced on U. S. standards grades. That left most other canned vegetable prices to be fixed on the basis of the packers individual standards, with no uni form basis.
 U. s. standard grades, long used by many packers, now under War Food Administration, have rigid re- quirements for drained weight of food packed in various size cans. A grades are the more showy pro- ducts, carefully selected for uni form color and size B grade is the utility food served by most people every day. c grade is wholesome, but vegetables may be irregular in color, and of varying size and tex ture.'

Beauties Hints When Time Is Short And Hair Needs Doing Try Dry Shampoo

One reason why those natty WAVES uniforms rivet so many admiring glances is because the girls who wear them are so im- peccably groomed. A spit and polish turnout, no matter how short the notice, is a Navy traition.
 So, it's good to know some of the short cuts. and one in particular is how to fluff up limp locks in hurry, when there is no hour open to you at your beauty shop or no time in which to go.
