 AS the actress, Miss Bankhead is her usual flamboyant self from time to time and manages to keep some interest alive in the proceed ings. There is some of the usual bright Barry dialogue, but it is Of uneven texture and interspersed with extremely juvenile cracks. Henry Hull plays the husband ex- ceuently and Donald Cook, as the other man, has somewhat nega- time role. Others in prominent parts are Mildred Dunnock, Joan Shepard, Barbara Kent, Aubrey Mather and Maria Manton, who is the daughter of Marlene Dietrich. John c.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Sagging Mattress Destroys Rest
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Good posture also takes in your ly-down positions which, if faulty, may explain why you get up feel ing aything but rested.
 Of course you aren't expected to lie awake nights checking up on good alignment that keeps kinks out of your spine and vital organs in their proper positions. But you can insure ideal posture conditions by making sure that your bed doesn' sag.
 If it does, there are two reme- dies at hand. One is to have your mattress remade. The other is to put a piece of plywood or wall board between mattress and the springs. This will eliminate sag in bed and sag in posture, yet you will still have the springiness in a mattress that invites tired muscles to relax

FEPCPeri!0us

It would be worth everybody's while to look
rather closely at this FEPC act which group
il. Congress is trying to put across, "ortn-
while because if it becomes law neither your
job or ours or hardly anybody elses would
be free from federal control.
Robbed OF the smooth talk, the permanent
FEPC would in reality be an overall employ
ment agency with power and authority to Sc
lect employees for practically all employers,
and the employers would have to accept those
selected for them whether the selectee was
capable or worthless.
We note few examples:
The FEPC would choose the stenographers
and secretaries for members of Congress, be-
cause such employees are employees of the fed
eral government.
Tn FEPC would name the editors and en-
ployes of all newspapers; the managers, an
nouncers, commentators and other employees
of radio stations; the managers and employees
of all motion picture producers, as all of these
are engaged in interstate commerce.
The FEPC would select all employees OF
highway commissions and departments of
states, countless cities and towns, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
(a) ALI highway departments are en-
gagged in interstate commerce. in the con-
struction and repair of highways;
(b) All highway departments are instru-
mentalities of the federal government, in
(c) All highway departments are gov
struction and repair of highways;
that they spend federal funds for the con-
eminent contractors, because there is an
implied or statutory contract that they will
spend government funds as provided by
statute; and
I'D All highway departments are instru-
mentalit;es of the state. Section of the
bill provides that no fundamentally oil
any state can abridge the right of any
person to seek and obtain work, and Sec
ton 10 will give the FEPC authority to
promulgate regulations for the enforce
ment of all other provisions of the act.
If this bill goes through, ladies and gentle
men, we might as well kiss the four freedoms
good by, for one encroachment upon the liber-
ties of free people merely lays the foundation
for others until the whole structure is eaten
away, as termites destroy the under pinnings
ct homes.

Lincoln's Way

The unsavory publicity which followed Henry
Morgenthau's resignation and the discussion
heard her and there concerning Harold Ickes
and his probable farewell to the Cabinet, it is
interesting to note how Lincoln handled the
resignation of Salmon P. Chase from the
Treasury.
Chase had long been headache to Lincoln
and finally quit, in many ways as Mr.. Morgen-
thau quit the same post With his customary
forthrightness, Lincoln wrote Chase:
Your resignation of the office of Secretary
Of the Treasury sent me yesterday is accepted.
OF all 1 have said in commentator of your
ability and fidelity I have nothing to unsay;
and yet, you and 1 have reached point of
mutual embarrassment in our official relations
which, it seems, cannot be overcome or longer
sustained consistently with the public service
Lincoln was gentle man at heart, but ne
could be most direct and caustic when the
occasion seemed to require

Strictly Sartoriaq

We have often noticed that if a woman can
only possess, and grace, the one gown of it's
kind in town she is happy lark. The same
holds true with hat, and perhaps with other
raiment too which being beneath the surface
can bring only secret satisfaction and silent
chuckles.
With men, the opposite is generally true.
By and large, men want to dress like other
men-the same cut of coat and trousers, the
same quality of fabric, the same style hat
and socks and ties.
The difference between men and women is
that whereas the first cherish sartorial
anonymity, the latter want most to stand out
in crowd
Mems desire for identical apparel has
brought about some strange and annoying
things Pleats in pants for example, and now
that Mr.. Truman is president rush for bow
ties. 1t has been the same, in the memory
of the oldest old-timers 1t will be the same
as long as office boys ape their bosses and the
bosses themselves initiate business rivals
The deuce of it is that because men dress
alike many of them are arrayed unbecomingly
