Sights and sounds: Our nomina-
ton for the most modest big timer
In the film business today is Perry
Como, Small-town Pennsylvania boy
who croons nightly to millions. He
is completely without affectation, as
the story of his debut before the
cameras one year ago can attest
On the set of Doll Face" Como
told us about it, as follows:
II had been signed to play In
Something for the Boys" 1t was
my first trip to a movie lot. I
walked on the set, found out which
man was Lew Seller, the director,
and went up to him.
Mr.. Seller I said, 7 don't know
dang thing about this business but
| if you'll tell me what you want me
to do I'll try to do it, Mr. Seller
leaned forward about an inch and
said softly. I don't mean to be rude
but just what do you do?'
That stopped me for a moment.
Then I knew he wasn't kidding. He
had never even heard of me. I
leaned forward two inches and said,
Mr.. Seller. I'm not sure myself, but
whatever it is, the studio is paying
me $1,000 a week for it"
| Less than three years ago Como,
now SO, had quit singing with bands.
He was tired dragging his young
wife and their infant boy around
the country. He went back to Penn
sylvania and took job which al
lowed him to live like the average
citizen, in home, with yard and
neighbors. But New York reached
out, grabbed him, and today,
through movies, radio, records and
stage, he averages about $1,000 a
week.
Lew Seller and Como are now
close friends Seller thinks he has
a promising future.
More and more bigger premieres
are to be expected with the end of
the war. Captain Eddie" was the
kickoff, the Chinese Theater pre-
senting the first postwar event of
its kind with lights, stars, music,
fans and the works.
Other elaborate plans are under
way by every major studio for
unveiling their big epics in POM
pous style. Not only will flashy
openings take place ins Hollywood
but they will be moved to leading
cities throughout the country. De-
troit, Boston, Cleveland, St. Louis,
San Francisco and the Nations
Capital are slated for doings in the
gala Hollywood way just as soon
as ODT regulations permit the
use Of special trains.
Close-ups: Carole Lands has
been off the screen two years, but
she is very lucky girl. Her studio
Goth Century-FoX, has picked up
her option-indicating that divorce
and marriage publicity is helpful
that way. j.. Leila Rogers, mother
of Ginger, will produce her daugh-
ter's next picture, THE Gibson
Girl" This gives rise to lot OF
speculation as to how many mothers
will now come forward to display
their talents on the sound stages

toying with the same idea.

RURAL NEGRO SURVEY

On July 1 5 the University of Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton and Extension Service began
study of the economic and social
status of rural Negro families in
Maryland, it was announced by DR..
T. B. Symons, Extension director.
Scheduled to be completed by De-
cember 81, 1916, the survey is de-
signed to obtain information about
Maryland's rural Negro families as a
basis for building an adequate Extern
sion program for Negroes in agricul-
ture and home economics. Factual
information on which to build a sat-
isfactcory program is needed, it is
expected tkat the survey will supply
mi ormation to meet this need. The
PROJECT will be conducted by the De-
partment of Agricultural Economics,
Loaded by DR.. S. H. DeVault. 1t will
be financed by the General Education
Board and by the University of Mary
land.
The study will be statewide with
special emphasis on Southern Mary
land and the lower Eastern Shore.
Information will be solicited from
both rural farm and rural non-farm
Negro families regarding tenure; size
and value of holdings; productive en-
terprises; products grown and used
at home; products marketed; in
come; type and availability of mar
ket outlets; condition, value, and
adequacy of farm buildings and
dwellings; home facilities and living
conditions; size and composition of
family: formal education of parents
and out-of-school children; health
status; presence and participation in
community organizations; and rural
urban migration.

U. OF M. CONSTRUCTION no
COST s4,332,OOO

Building construction projects for
$4,332, 900 have been approved, Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor has an
nounced.
The program calls for additional
construction at College Park, in con-
nection with professional schools and
the University Hospital in Baltimore
and at Princess Anne. The Board of
Public Works has given authority to
the Board of Regents of the Univer-
sity of Maryland to proceed at once
with the planning for the new con-
struction and for the engagement of
architects.
The Board of Public Works has
adopted time schedule grouping the
projects in the order of their import
ance so that the ones most needed
can be begun at the ealiest possible
time.
Heading the list of First priority"
construction are buildings for Engi-
neering, Chemistry and Physics, to be
erected at College Park at a total
cost of $2,250,0OO. Only $75O,O0O of
this will be State money, however,
the Governor pointed out, the re-
naming $1,5OO,OOO coming from a
gift of $1,500,000 provided by the
Glenn l.. MARTIN Company for re-
search in aviation.
Also in the first priority list is an

PLENTY OF PETROLEUM

No nation other than ours has pro-
dueed petroleum in such huge quan-
titles. Why can we produce it? Is the
United States peculiarly blessed by
nature with resource not found else
where? Not at all!
The reason the United States pro.
duces more oil than other nations is
that Americans have taken full adj
vantage of our freedom of opportuni-
ty. We have drilled more exploratory
wells-called wildcats by the oil in
dustry-than the people of other
countries. AS result of that oppor-
tunity to venture, we now have all
the petroleum necessary to win the
war.
Petroleum is not peculiar to the
continental United States. 1t is found
in all parts of the world. In the light
of present knowledge, our top geolo
vists tell W. that some six million

failure, rough air, icing, shifting OF
the center of gravity or fouled-up
fuel system. Also, Of course, he can
talk to the men in the plane by tele-
phone. Thus, he can teach them how
best to meet any situation that may
arise in actual flight.
The value of this training procedure
in saving lives, time and money is
obvious. It has been customary to
give flight crews training in actual
ships, on the ground and in the air.
But flying conditions must be taken
as they come; good weather is not
always to be had when wanted, and
some emergencies involve so much
real risk that an instructor would not
deliberately create them in the air.
To train Navy crews quickly and well,
the Navy thought it necessary to
faithfully portray actual fight per-
Torrance, and electrical means were
chosen as the best approach to the
problem.
Entering the equipment room, you
would hardly think that the array
of vacuum tubes and other electrical
apparatus neatly mounted on racks
could be putting a bomber crew
through their PAGES. Tubes glow and
switches click. The general appear
ance and sound of the equipment, as
it operates, is not unlike what is seen
and heard in telephone offices through
out the country. And this is appro-
pirate, because it is the science be-
hind the telephone that here performs
new service for the United States
Navy. The trainer at Patuxent River
is now used by Naval Air Transport
Service in training its oceanic fight
crews. Trainers for other types Of
planes are now under development
and construction.

HOME GAMERS
ASKED TO "CARRY
ON" BY F.D.R.

The food outlook is so dark
throughout the world that, in Janu-
airy, our habitually- optimistic Pres
ident asked Victory Gardeners and
Home Gamers to carry on until
the war is Won" Since then we
have been told over and over that
the only sure way to have enough
vegetables for our own use is to
grow and can them.
but please" advises Gladys
Kimbrough, Home Service Director
for Ball Brothers Company, makers
of glass fruit jars, "before you put
your shoulder to the home canning
wheel, take time to learn how jars
and caps should be used. It Is also
smart to plan ahead, to buy ahead,
so that canning time will not find
you scurrying around trying to find
equipment needed for the job. You
may not find your favorite jar and
cap unless you shop early in the
season or it may be that merchants
don't keep them because other styles
sell better. If your home is on the
West Coast, you may not see any
all-glass lightning type jars because
most of your neighbors prefer
Mason jar with two-piece metal cap.
The opposite is true of New Eng
land; the lightning type is a best
seller there. The majority of home
Gamers in Southern, Central and
Northern states have always de-
manded Masons with one-piece zinc
caps.
Zinc Caps Supply Uncertain
''No zinc caps could be made at
the beginning of the war. Now the
backlog of zinc has grown large
enough to permit the manufacture
of a large quantity of caps. Will
sthere be enough to supply the de-
mand? That's SeUenty-Four Dol
lar question - nobody knows what
the demand will be. But, we do
know labor is scarce and shipping
facilities are not what we would like
them to be.
"a great many jars will have
Glass Top Seal (glass lid, rubber
ring, metal screw band) caps. There
will also be Mason jars with two
piece metal vacu-seal caps-these
are the ones with sealing compound
flowed around the edge of the lid to
take the place of regular jar rub
Der. The incest of the two-piece
metal caps have dome shaped lids
which pull down when good vac
uum seal takes place.
"Half pints are being made and
so are wide mouth jars but neither is
as plentiful as before the war.
''No matter what size home cam
ming jar and style cap you decide
to use, no matter whether it is your
first or fiftieth year of canning, it
will pay to choose nationally
known brand and to use it by the
step-by-step instructions printed on
the circular packed with the jars
and on the cap carton. It cost the
manufacturer money to supply those
up-to-date instructions and it is like
" to cost home Gamers time, money,
and precious food if instructions are
not followed"

How the Navy uses remarkable
ACKNOWLEDGMENT flight train
er" developed by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories to train bomber crews
on the ground as air combat teams
was demonstrated recently at the
Patuxent River, Maryland, base OF
Naval Air Transport Service.
The plane simulated at Patuxent
River is a PBM-3 (Mariner) flying
boat and is in the form of "mock-
up" of part of the hull. This is used
as trainer plane and is located at
one end of narrow building. Two
rooms away is the instructors desk,
with its associated duplicate instru-
ment panels, and at the far end OF
the building is the electronic equip
ment that connects the two and oper-
ates the flight trainer" as though it
were actually flying.
Bell Laboratories scientists working
at the instance of Captain Louis de
Florez, u. S. N. R., head of the Bu-
reau of Aeronautics' Special Devices
Division, are responsible for this
flight illusion. The trainer at Patux-
ent River and others in service or in
production, were made possible by APP
plying the knowledge and skill ac-
quired in the endless effort to improve
telephony.
The device is operated entirely by
electrical circuits which continuously
calculate the effect of different condi-
tions and produce the proper instru-
ment readings. This makes it pos
sible for an instructor, seated in an
other room before q duplicate set of
instruments, to see exactly how the
crew is handling the plane. What is
more, by operating switches at his
desk, the instructor can introduce
emergency conditions such as engine
