War a Spur to
Many ETtrepreneurS

To reconvert to the manufacture
of civilian products, no change OF
machinery or assembly line nor
any retooling will be necessary at
the Sheriff. factory. Nor will the
number of employees have to be re-
duced.
Of course, not many inventors are
endowed with enough business sense
to run plants of their own. Sheriff.
appears to be an exception. When
he got his first army order, he was
asked when he could deliver how
many compasses. He named the fig
ure and the day and what is more
he lived up to his promise, which
was more than many manufac turers
with less foresight and more urfore-
seen hurdles have been able to do.
There are other inventors and 9th
er business men who, like Sheriff.,
have received from war demands
the stimulation which will push them
ahead and carry them through the
breakers of reconversion. Sheriff.
himself has no technical education.
He calls himself a graduate from a
junkpile. But he can talk with the
scientists and the experts and, what
is more, he makes the pictures he
draws on his drawing board, some
times in the small hours in pajamas
and slippers, work.
He has the typical American in
genuity shared by thousands Of 9TH
ers who helped win the war for us
and who will keep us from losing the
peace.
BRIEFS:
An official navy bulletin included
this warning: "Navy personnel are
not allowed to transport monkeys to
or from India"
The government has moved west
from the Hudson, one congressman
commented. Fine SO long as it
doesn't stop when it gets to the
Mississippi. This is very wide
country.
Sale of horse meat is reported on
the increase. If that's the case we'd
better end this gasoline shortage
soon.
A medal was recently awarded to
a high officer for saving the life of
a woman by stopping a runaway
horse 20 years ago. Which shows
he was faster at catching up with
what he was after than his medal.

Yankee Ingenuity
To the Fore

What started me of on this topic
was a typical example Of how this
inventive genius, stimulated by war
demands, has laid the foundation
for turning what started as little
two-room factory into big, small
town business. The man with the
inventive genius is a frequent Wash
ington visitor these days. His name
is Burl E. Sheriff. The name of
the town is Peru, Ind, population
$4,000. Sheriff. is modest Hoosier
genius in his forties who managed
to make living from tinkering and
selling the patents on the gadgets
he invented. Then one day he made
something he liked SO well he didn't
want to part with the idea behind it.
so he decided to manufacture it him.
self. It was popular-priced mag
netic compass for use in steel
bodied automobiles and trucks.
Sheriff. rented three offices right
on the public square Of Peru. turned
them into his factory and started
out. Soon he began to expand, push
ing lawyers, doctors, real estate men
out of the way. But I am getting
ahead of my story.

 About 3 D. m. she was standing near the drinking fountain when the outside door opened and a telegraph messenger came in.
 'I7l sign for it," she said, quite naturally. She smiled at the lad, and a smile from girl as pretty as Carolyn was worth more than the conventional dime.
 Idly she opened the yellow en- velope; it easily came unsealed. She started inside to put 1t on Bob's desk as she had done with numerous other routine business messages, reading 1t as she went to see if 1t demanded his irnme- diate attention. It said:
 DEFINITELY INTERES T E D YOUR STATEMENT YOU GAN HAVE EXCLUSIVE POSSES SION OF FABULOUS NEW POWER SUBSTANCE. MONEY NO OBJECT BUT KEEP ABSO- LUTE SECRECY. LEAVING. AT ONCE for personal conference"
 Surprised, and vaguely alarmed, Carolyn read 1t again. Only then did she discover that 1t was ad- dressed not to Bob - but to Leana Sorr1i.

 Frilly and feminine. That didn't describe the war wife, especially If you caught her putting on storm windows, moving the lawn, or cleaning out the furnace.
 Frilly and feminine. Not the girls who went to work in war plants, wearing safety clothes which factory rules made a virtual uniform.
 But if they want us to be frilly and feminine now, that is perfectly okay.

 I've always been r1yStifled by one phase of Hollywood high finance: {: How does a producer determine what stars services are worth? For instance, trade paper story stated recently that Hedy Lamar, offered a co-starring role in Bob Hopes forthcoming opus, Monsieur Beau caire," demanded Sl50,000 pay. That's big money, and I do mean BIGl There are dozens of younger actresses who would jump at such an opportunity for, say, a $25 900 check. Assuming that a producer, in these days of high admission fees, actually gets twenty cents as his split of the average ticket sale, Miss Lamar would have to bring into the theaterS total of 625 .000 paying customers, none of whom would see the picture were 1t not for her presence in the cast, be- fore her salary would be justified Maybe she could bring that many people to the box office, maybe she couldn't; the fact is that Holly wood has no positive method of determining her "sales appeal" It seems strange that men who spend such colossal sums for talent" have never taken the trouble to accurate ly check results.
 Speaking of high finance, want to dish out a word of advice to an ex-marine who, having built himself up, via diet and exercise, to weight of 230 pounds from mere l20, now proposes to add pounds to any star who needs them for a fee of Slo0 a pound. It's a grand idea, as long as the Frank Sinatrss, Connie Bennetts and John CarradineS hold out, but that won't be for long. For every underweight star in pictures. there are a dozen who battle to reduce. If the ex- marine can just find way to throw his system Into reverse, he can dou- ble his fees and worry about noth- ing but an S2-per cent income tax.

Two of the most popular men in bridge, M. A. Lightman, Memphis, Tenn, and Bertram LAhbar, Jr, New York, finished first and sec- ond in the World Championship Masters Pairs this year. Lightman and Pfc. Robert Appleyard won the event; Lebhar and Simon Ros- sant finished second.
 Lebhar, a sports broadcaster, talks so much about double plays and squeeze plays and all the terms describing baseball and hockey games, that 1t was only natural he should employ squeeze play on one of the tournament hands to win a nice score.
 Unfortunately, both Lebhar and his partner had three small clubs, Or there would not have been much of & problem in the hand. West cashed three rounds of clubs, so Lebhar had to make the balance of the tricks. When West shifted to spade. he went up with dummy's ace and ran off his six heart tricks, retaining in dummy the spade jack and the ace-ten of diamonds, and three diamonds in his own hand. East could not hold the king of spades and the three diamonds.

SCOTS TAKE
fast GAME
FROM CUBS
Glasgow Is Winner by 1888
Margin from Frazer
Ball Club

After a close and fast first half.
Glasgow forged ahead to defeat
Frazer's clever Bearcubs, 40 to 80, on
the civic center floor Saturday night
in a basketball contest that showed
the visitors with several good indi-
vidual stars.
The Cubs started fast and built up
a first quarter lead of IL to 6, with
Henri Dassonville, Frazer ace center,
scoring all his teams points. All
Glasgow counters that first period
were made by Forward Frank
Holland, who has always been strong
on floor work but found his shoot
ing eye in Saturdays contest.
Farrell was the mainstay of the
Glasgow offense the second quarter,
aided by Mann and Hammerness,
and the Scots built up a slim BOLT
lead at rest time.
Glasgow frightened its defense in
the third period at the same time
launching an assault on the basket
spearheaded by Holland and Goar
to take a 1928 lead at its close. 1t
was a free scoring melee in the final
period with plenty of action that
kept the crowd in an uproar.
Dassonville dumped eight field
goals and a like number of free
throws for a high of "a points, but
other Frazer standouts were the two
Bearcub forwards, Dick Taylor and
Albert Murdoch, Taylor for his floor
game and Murdoch with an un-
orthodox shooting style that never
theleSs clicked at times |
Holland garnered Glasgow's high
est point total, with Ia, although
Farrell got - and Goar 10. The
Scots showed better at the basket
han in previous games this season.
