The biography of the Skinner

gown to twenty million read
q as "Our Hearts Were Young

made the whole nation laugh
conscious.
The screen version, which is
now showing at the Paramount
Theatre, has beautiful Gail Rus
sell playing the part of Miss
Skinner, Diana miracle" Lynn
impersonating Miss Kimbrough,
Dorothy Gish as Mrs. Otis Skin
ner and Charlie 2uggles as the
famed thespian, Otis Skinner.
"Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay" is a biographical stanza in
the lives of these two ladies,
who as girls made news Wher-
ever they went, ard they were
always going somewhere. That's
why Paramount producers saw
lie finished print of the picture
and Immediately cancelled the
authors train reservations for
their return trip to New York,
insisting that they start work
Immediately on another trip
any trip-just so long as it was
as funny as their first. And so,
before "Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay" has reached half the
audiences of the country, Para
mount is getting ready to "shoot"
its sequel.
Paramount Did Biographies
There are all kinds of bio
graphical pictures, of course.
Paramount did the biographies
of five men at one time in The
Hitler Gang" "The Story Of
DR.. Wassell" was inspired by
Roosevelts fireside h at in
which he paid tribute to DR..
,2rydon NJ. Wassell, hero of
South Pacific, Greer Gar
son portrayed Madame Curie,
and Don Ameche has done half
our famous Americans. There's
a wealth of material in the
lives and loves of the worlds
illustrious.
However, "Our Hearts We're
Young and Gay" represents the
first attempt to re-enact spe-
cific phase in the lives of living
people. The trip to Europe made
by the sub-debs Gail and Diana
in search of love, fun and ex-
citement is one of the funniest
expeditions ever written or
screened. The girls turn Paris
upside down. They leave Lon
don devastated. They write
ocean-going history without
knowing it. They're the hottest
comedy team on the screen to-
day.
Getting lost on the highest
balcony OF Notre lame ana en-
tering the Ritz lobby in Paris
wrapped only in horse blankets
represents some of the milder
incidents the girls experience.
They stand nonchalantly in
the Savoy lobby in their hand
made petticoats while American
college boys fight it out with
two presuming French gentle
men. They just naturally at
tract attention, which just as
naturally always seems to lead
to confusion and Historically
amusing situations. But the girls
love the excitement and all the
boys love the girls.
Lewis Allen directed the pic
ture and for the big romance

pair of young stalWarts called
Bill Edwards and Jim Brown.

the U. S. Army stepped in and bought a million bushels, partly to keep it out of Belgian hands.
 By this time, valuable freight car space needed for wheat was being used to carry rye to the At lantic seaboard And every time a few freight cars were loaded with rye, an item appeared in the press obviously planted story by those interested in boosting the price of rye.
 So finally the Department Of Ag- riculture stepped in and embargoed rye shipments to the Atlantic sea- board. It was at this point that Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois used his influence to try to keep rye moving. He was acting at the be- hest of his friends on the Chicago Board ot Trade, who wanted to clear rye out of Chicago. There is no evidence that Lucas was fi- nancially interested.

MORE SPENDING?

The managing director of the highway contractors division of the American Road Builders Association has told an audience of road builders that Admin istration leaders in Washington preparing yearly post war public program of 000000000 ito help keep millions in jobs they emerge from war plants or the Army and Navy" Perhaps he is mis- about the total But he may be able to point to enough spending plans, in addition to those already endorsed by Congress, to bear out his estimate.
 Such grandiose spending plans represent wrong approach to the real problem that confronts us The great postwar fiscal problem will be to prevent runaway imitation. It will be to bring the Federal budget into manageable dimensions and under req sonable control. In study recently published the probable cost of running the Federal Government after the war was estimated at more than $22 100000 a year This would be three times as great as the annual expenditures the 1888 fiscal year. and six times as great as such expenditures in 1928 Unless where the budget can be balanced, we shall either have continue taxes heavy that they discourage business, and so undermine the whole structure of production upon which the real income and welfare of all of us depend or we shall have to continue a budget deficit that could lead to an uncontrolled imitation.
 The war has created situation under which the dependent on Government orders The minimizing have come to regard this normal situation Jobs cannot be maintained they suppose, unless the stop page of Government orders is immediately fol- lowed by Government peace orders If their suppos-

That German Sky Island

(New York Times)
 Physicists naturally raised skeptical eyebrow when they read recently of German plans to transport to point 5000 miles distant platform on which a mirror nearly two miles square was to concentrate the suns rays the earth, drive engines and even make the ocean bol' in places! The only man who is supposed to have done anything like this is Arch- medes but scientist takes seriously the tale that he burned the Roman ships by which Syracuse was beleaguered with solar mirrors. We suspect that the theorists who developed the formidable V-2 rocket indulged in romantic and exciting work-wf12t IS politely called "extrapoation" in engineering.
 To reach a point in space 5000 miles distant rocket of colossal dimensions would be necessary, because there air in interstellar space for pro- peller to bite. Both Oberth and Hohmann suggested years ago that islands could be planted between the earth and the planets to filling stations for rocketeers bound for Marsevdenty the origin of the German conception The islands would revolve around the earth a satellite, and it would be no mean navi- gational feat to find it. Such island would not be completely immune to the influence of gravitation as the accounts that came from Germany maintained Gravta ton cannot be neurazed The asteroids some of which about the size of the German artificial dream island would hardly follow their regular orbits around the if they were not subject to gravita- tional pulls. Nor would there be solar system Unable to retain any air by gravtatona attraction, the island would be dreary spot on which the keeper and his terrestrial visitors would have to wear oxygen masks. Nothing is said about the

 The sodium mirror is puzzle. On the earth sodium is kept under kerosene or some liquid that contains oxygen otherwise it would be reduced to caustic soda Other easily handled metals would serve as more practical reflectors. Even if accept sodium mirror nearly two miles in area, we doubt if it would have the biserng effect predicted Radiant energy follows the inverse square law so that by the time reflected solar beam reached the earth the effect would not be great. s
 The Germans conceded that their space island would have to wait for another century or There reason therefore believe that the rocket experts merely dreaming over their Ersatz beer It is not likely that scores of scientists and technicians stopped work on the Vi and V2 rockets to perform time consuming calculations and prepare the neces sary working drawings for one of the most daring inventions ever conceived.

tion were right the peace orders would have to equal the war orders and we should have to keep up Gov ernment spending at the same fantastic level that must maintain in war.
 Reconversion fortunately, does not mean that industry must merely depend upon different kind of Government business It that it must return to private business It must prepare itself to fill the orders of consumers. It must produce what the Am erican buyer wants, rather than what officials in Washington think he ought to have To make this possible OPA in particular must permit flexible pricing policy that will encourage industry to under take the maximum possible civilian production with the least possible delay That is the way to create jobs in the postwar period.

the -Biscuits-Pappy" O'D a n niel of Texas also began buttonholing of ficials in order to permit the move. ment of rye. Pappy was working at the behest of Ralph Moore, who, in turn, was working with Dan Rice, the rye manipulator for Gen eral Foods.
 All the more recent Senate lobby ing, however, failed to budge new Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson. He has remained adam ant that freight-car space eastward must be used for wheat, dairy feed, and other more, essential gralps,. rather than helping General Folds unload the millions of bushels of rye which they hoarded in one of the greatest grain speculations of the century.
 NOTE-General Foods has come out of the deal in good shape. It looks as if they made real money The price of rye has risen from around g cents bushel, when they first went into the market in 1942, to around $50 a bushel. In addition, Belgium and UNRRA came to their rescue, and finally the War Production Board has thrown out another ife-saver by resumlng the distilling of whisky. This means that, General Foods has probably sold another million bushels of rye to the whisky dis tillerS this month.

 G. F. LOBBYISTS BUSY
 Meanwhile, the General Foods boys were racking their brains as to how to get rid of their rye. They didn't know what to do with it. The rye market is limited. Only small amount goes into rye bread, and General Foods tre- mendous holdings became embar- lassing. Also, Chicago Board of Trade men were demanding that the rye be moved out of Chicago. So the General Foods lobbyists got busy in Washington, and, after some wining and dining of Belgian Commercial Counselor Joseph Jen- nen, they managed deal whereby Belgium would take rye off their hands.
 Belgium wanted rye as cattle feed, in order to build up it's herds, seriously hit during the German occupation. Under War Food rules, rye cannot be used for anything hut human consumption. However, after receiving promises (but with no guarantees after delivery that the rye would be used for human food. the Foreign Economic Admin istrator ordered the Commodity Credit Corporation to purchase i 1O44,000 bushels of rye for bel- gium. Simultaneously, TEA order ed 3,OO5,7 ,736 bushels for UNRRA, to be used in feeding Poland, l Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, which are legimiate rye consuming countries.
 The rye was purchased very quietly on March l9, 1945, and of ficials of the Commodity Credit Corporation made a careful effort not to let spectators know what was happening.
 However, some of the politicoes presumably were in the know, for l 1t was about this time that the friends of Ed Pauley came in on the deal. Pauley, now U. $. Rep arations Ambassador in Moscow has lucky fingers. Whatever he touches turns to gold. Ed is a l generous man. And several friends climbed aboard the zooming rye market.

ELEVATORS JAMMED

However, it is since May, l944, that some of the interesting things happened.
 During the summer of l944 there was so much rye heaped up Ill Chicago elevators that the War Food Administration instructed the WIPE to order grain distillers to use 10 per cent rye in making al cohol. Naturally this was a boon to General Foods. It helped get rid of it's accumulated rye.
 Ordinarily, alcohol distillers don't use rye. Whether someone pulled political wires to get rye used dur ing the summer of l944 is not known. Anyway, WIPE issued the order on instructions from the War Food Administration and on the excuse that room had to be made in the Chicago elevators for wheat.
 Meanwhile, speculation continued Rye still was the only grain on NiHCll llitlC was 4AO PAtNN NN~-%A-o It was the only grain in which spectators could operate, and by the winter of l944-45 other people besides General Foods were in the market, too. In fact, lot of money held by wealthy European refugees in this country went into rye. This refugee money played rye against General Foods. They sold short.
 The refugees were gambling that the war would be over last winter and they could import Argentine rye at around 65 cents a bushel tC replace their short sales in Chicago
 As a result of this trading, th' gigantic total of one billion ry' futures was out against a 30-mil

RYE SCARS

AS news of the Belgian deal leak ed out, rye scared so high that the Commodity Credit Corporation sold 10000 bushels it had left over from the Belgian transaction at a lush profit of S20,000.
 Meanwhile, the Belgians wanted more rye-at the taxpayers expense through lend-lease. But this time TEA turned them down. Finally, the Belgians offered to pay their own cash and were allowed to buy half a million more bushels on the promise that they would not use it for cattle feed. Actually, they wanted to buy ever more. But

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

FRIDAY, JULY 20

Good and evil planetary aspects balance in the horoscope for today which promises many advantages to industries.
 HEART AND HOME
 Letters will bring varied news from war fronts where Summer weather conditions will cause serious discomforts. Many servicemen and women will return from the Pac- fife next month, it is forecast.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Underneath all plans for perman- ent peace lies the great concern for international trade development. Fi- nancial leaders weigh wealth in scales that balance human welfare. Astrologers warn of threatening portents that presage future diffi- cultieS.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The need for curtailment of Gov ernment expenditures will be gener-- ally recognized and insistent pleas for economy will be registered in Washington where thousands of ex- tra war emergency employees draw substantial salaries.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 According to certain signs too much discussion of international af- fairs may cause misunderstandings among friendly nations and be more serious in results than the most severe censorship.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which it will be imperative to take stock of char acter. High ideals are more nec- essary than ever before.
 Children born on this day probably will be capable of splendid achieve ments if they are carefully develop ed. They should possess varied tai entS and keen minds. Copyright I9i5)

into Chicago elevators that Charles Metcalf, Vice President of General Foods, was called on the carpet by the Business Conduct Commit tee of the Chicago Board Of Trade and warned that he had so many relatives and friends buying rye for him through disguised broker age accounts that he was barred from buying any more December rye futures.
 Finally, in May, l944, the Gen. rral Foods rye corner reached the stupendous total of l3,262,000 bush els or 89 per cent of the entire rye crop.
 It was for trading through this period d-1942- -44-that the Agricul- tural Department cracked down on General Foods with an order to show cause why they should not be barred from the Chicago gram market.
