POLI'S

One of the most sensational dramas to come out of Hollywood, "The Master Race will prove itself gripping drama of unusual in- terest.
 The dramatic story deals speci- fically with the efforts of Colonel Won Beck, one of the underground" plotters,( who smuggles himself into a little Belgian village just ahead Of the Allies arrival and, posing as 8 Belgian patriot anxious to cooperate in the task of reconstruction, Sec- retly sets about his cohorts real mission of awakening hatreds and fomenting discords. How he oper- ates leads to the stirring climax of the unique offering.
 George Coulouris plays Won Beck with brilliant conviction and Osa Massen, Carl Esmond, Stanley Ridges, Nancy Gates and Lloyd Bridges stand out among the SUD- porting cast. Herbert J. Biberman directed with marked effectiveness from the screenplay on which he colaborated with Anne Froelick and Rowland V. Leigh. The picture is a definite must" for every American.
 The co-hit on this dramatic pro- gram is "Mademoiselle Fif1' with Simone Simon.

nodded during this one. Some of the things wrong were so obvious that one can only be amazed that they were not corrected.
 Briefly, the story concerns the re- turn after a three-year absence of a youth who has been missing from home for three years. His distracted mother was the only one who be- neved he'd come back. Suspicion had been directed at a chum with whom he had quarreled, and the general belief was that the missing boy had been drowned. His return immediately raises the question of whether he is the real son or an imposter. He makes little slips about remembering things, The fact that he is heir to a fortune complicates matters. The ending is surprise and not to be found here.
 Ralph Forbes, as drunken brother of the mother, almost chewed Howard Bays nice set to pieces opening night and he had able assistance from Frances Car son, who plays the mother. Walter N. Greaza, as the boys stepfather, managed to hold himself in check pretty well until the last act and then he caught the fever. Richard Hylton, Anna Minot, Will Hare and Dorrit Kelton are other members of the cast.

If You Grade Hair In A Snood, A Page-Boy Bob Is Your Best Bet
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Here are some tricks with snoods that might be useful to know If you're cradling your hair in one.
 You can puff out a snood better with freshly -Shampooed hair which has more fullness and bounce than looks that go limp because they're Soiled.
 Best kind of hair-do for Snood is the old page-boy. which if rolled under from ear to ear like a horse shoe exactly conforms to %1e shape of Snood.
 If hair is too sparse to fill up a snood, "roughing" ends, which won't harm locks, will puff it out.
 If the snood looks partially empty because hair is too short, adjust the net so that it comes up higher on your head. If the headpiece is bicycle clip" or a piece of all-in- one- mesh, replace and sew rib- bon on each cradle-end of the snood. Then it ca nbe tied to the needs of your hair

 next meal more for having gone without food for awhile. A baby should never be urged or forced to take food if he does not want It..
 Loss of appetite may be caused by excitement, change in surround ings, irregular hours, lack of sleep, or previous overlooking. Under these circumstances, removing the cause of the disturbance will undoubtedly restore the appetite to normal within a day or so.
 SOON FORGETS GAME
 Sometimes when the baby's food has been changed he will refuse 1t at first. In this case let him go without food until he is really hun gry, and he will usually take it with relish, and forget that he did not like it.
 If the baby refuses food because he is sick it will not be long until other symptoms appear, such as fever or diarrhea. Of course, these symptoms should be reported to the doctor. In the meantime he may be given boiled water, If he will take it, until the doctor advises about his care.
 An older child will sometimes refuse food in order to get special attention. This is likely to happen if he has been coaxed or if too much has been said in his presence about his appetite. Child specialists say that it is wise to remove the food and say no more about it un- til the next time. If it is again refused, think nothing of 1t. If the matter attracts no attention, the child will soon lose interest in the game and eat normally.

 It is not often that we find a hand in which a slam can be made hand in which slam can be made in either direction. Today's hand, which was played in the Cumber- land Valley Tournament at Wash- ington, D. C., produced some url- usual results.
 A number of players in the South position opened the bidding with one club. Now if North bid hearts, they would get to a six-heart con- tract, which was defeated if East. opened club. However, If South opened the bidding with one heart, the natural bid to make, the six heart contract could not be de- feated.
 Tn many cases. after South's heart opening West made a nice overcall of two spades. By aggres- sive bidding East and West arrived at a six-spade contract, especially when North and South tried to get to six hearts. The spade contract could not be defeated, and in fact where South made the mistake of covering the jack of diamonds with the king, West made seven spades. If he refused 10 cover, the contract was held to six.

 And the young girls sitting ih poorly lighted teverns, growing more sentimental with each drink. Their parents must be 60 gullible they don't even sit up to see what time their kids get home and whether or not they have had anything to drink.
 COSTLY CONFIDENCE
 Of course, parents like to be- lieve whatever their kids ten them. It is so comforting to think that sweet little Susie is studying algebra with Jane. It would be mighty uncomfortable if mother let herself wonder if Susie might not be somewhere else.
 But in these times parents can't afford the temporary peace of mind they receive from being what they call trusting and their kids call gullible. They ought to make it their business to KNOW what their kids are up to.

 Miss Hinton uses a Lower East Side mortuary owned by Scots- man for. her setting. The Scots great good friend is another norti- clan, a Jew. Neither of them has been doing much business and funds are low. In walks a man who sub- sequently proves to be newspaper magnate and plops down $10,000 for them to take care of his funeral. He says that in all likelihood someone is going to do him in any minute. Sure enough they do. To the mor- tuary come the four persons most closely associated with him. In the last tvo acts three off them gre bumped off, 8 policeman is killed and at the very end vague char acter, whose name has been haunt ing the proceedings for three acts for no apparent reason except to ex- plain some of the loose ends at the wiEdup, gets his.

Raisin Pie Goes Patriotic in Motif

As American as the stars and
stripes with which it's trimmed Is
this Victory Raisin Pie. For varia-
tions of this recipe appear, like the
slender thread of a family tree,
weaving its way through Colonial,
Midwest, and California cookery.
In English speaking colonies along
the coast, the raisin appeared con-
stantly In quaint recipes for "tarts
and pyes and pasties." The fruity
raisin was always a favorite with
the British; so the Virginians,
stepped in the traditions of their
homeland, brought quantities Of
raisins back from Europe in the
holds of their tobacco boats.
In the Middle West the raisin pie
became a kind Of crisis standby.
Funeral pie they sometimes called it.
Not to be belittling its contents, but
because 1t was the kind of pie folks
liked to make and bring to neighbors
when they needed comfort. For a
raisin pie was always warm and
heartening and downright friendly
gesture. You know, yourself, there's
something about a raisin sauce,
steaming under q blanket of flaky
crust, that sustains and soothes and
makes you feel as though the world
is mighty good indeed. Folks knew
the true value of such things in
