 ROUNDUP
By Hugh Fullerton, yr.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-The im- precision somehow has got around that the National League pennant already belongs to the Cubs, but Jolly Cholly Grimm would be the first to tell you it ain't necessarily so. Grimm can easily remem- Der the 1885 struggle, when his Cubs won 2l straight games in September to beat out the Cardi- nals. And there's a series starting Friday in which that situa- tion easily could be reversed. The Cards, now 5l4 games behind, play the Cubs dozen times before the end of this season and they have already beaten Chicago seven out of ten games. It's enough to make Grimm grim.

MERLE OBERON N
 ROLE OF MlE SAND
Shares Starring Roles With Paul Muni in Song
 to Remember

For the first time in her screen career. Merle Oberon, wears pants in her starring picture with Paul Muni, Columbia's Technicolor "A Song To Remember" in which she has the role of Mime. George Sand, with Cornel Wilde in the romantic lead as Chopin, Merle Oberon at the State Theater, April 11-17.
 Mime. Sand, it seems, wore 'em. Pants, that is.
 Not little unmentionable; not those filmy things the harem beau ties wore in the Cecil B. De Mile picture, and which Schehera- zade, and Salome, and Cleopatra, and some others are reputed to have favored. Not even the pants of the Chinese women, or the things called "SlackS" which roam the reaches of Hollywood from sum- up to sundown.
 George Sand wore real pants. Made of wool. Tailored, Replete with weskit and clawhammer and top hat.
 Mime. Sand had reason to adopt this manniSh raiment, according to Miss Oberon, who ordinarily doesn't favor pants for the fair sex. Ex- blaming why 1t was all right for Mime. Sand, Miss Oberon said:
 George Sand lived In the early nineteenth century, in Paris. She had lived for many years on her grandmother's farm at Nohant be- fore she came to the city. There, she wore pants because they helped her have an authoritative manner. Dressed as girl, she couldn't im- press the farmhands.
 She found the same thing effec- tive when she went to Paris seeking 8 literary career. Men would buy stories from men. They weren't in- terested in what woman was writ ing. So George Sand took to pants"
 The lady was one of the foremost heartbreakers of Europe in that, O. any, age. Born Aurore Dupin, she married a country gentleman named Oudevant, by whom she had two children. Later she consorted with

A combination of veteran per- formers and youngsters have brought to the screen one of the most delightful pictures of the sea- son in National Velvet" at the Strand Theater.
 Mickey Rooney, who stars: Don- aid Crisp Anne Revere, Reginald Owen and Arthur Preacher are the veterans. Jackie ('"The Human Cornedy") Jenkins, Elizabeth cLas sic Come Horne"D Taylor and An gela "Gaslight") Lansb,lry are the youngsters. Together, under the direction of Clarence Brown, who has innumerable hits to his credit, they have produced an exciting warm, human motion picture that will live long in the memories of the lillions who will see it and love it.
 Rooney, as Mi Taylor, an ex- Jockey, provides a different char acterization from his usual ones this one is comparable to his work in '"The Human Comedy AS a disillusioned youngster who finally finds a home with a family in a small English town, he becomes trainer of horse won in a raffle by the 12-year-old Velvet Brown, whose passion is horses to the ex- clusion of everything else.

BEAUTIES HINTS Tighten Hair By Easy Stages
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Bleaching hair to revive youth- full brightness at the expense of a sallow or aging skin is a mistake many women make. Only a fresh- skinned, unlined face can stand the eye-baiting contrast of hair that's made corn silk-yellow or platinum pale.
 To rekindle lost "gold" in blonde hair that goes dark, settle for modest stakeS-color lifted only one shade. Properly, lifting should be done by an expert with progress sive rinses or a dye job. Lacking professional services, try brighten ing-not color-l r-lifting-in your basin with shampoos or rinses that tenn porarily revive blondness but at no risk of crowning you with a glory that looks unnatural and makes skin suffer from the contrast.

Using your good silver won't hurt it - instead will hcightcn lovely finish - but lack of care will make it look like neglected antiques.
 Experts aware that scratches come from mixing flatware and tossing it into the dishpan, are anxious to help you reform, if you admit to this and other careless habits.
 To wash, they tell you to or- ganize knives, forks, spoons, and serving pieces in groups, and clean separately in hot soapy water. Rinse in hot water and dry with a soft clean towel. If food stains tarnish pieces, clean with silver polish before stains move in to stay.
 When silver is ornamented, you can penetrate crevices by apply ing polish with a stiff brush 0n engraved areas; cloth where areas are smooth and are apt to be scratched. If oxidized effects

 The Warren slam convention, developed by . group of players at Warren, Pa, including Dr. Rob- ert Israel and Mrs. Albert Rock well, can be learned easily. Things to remember are:
 1. An ace counts two points and a king one.
 2. The convention is initiated with the bid for four no trump. In order to make this bid, two aces or an ace and a void suit must be held.
 3. A response of five clubs shows one point or less; five diamonds, two points; i've hearts, three points; five spades. four points and five no trump, five points.

From 1910 on, field trials of power

Another means of extending ru-

There are 100000 more farm
telephones today than in 1885 and
more than $4,000 of those have
been installed since 1910. In the
depression of the early 1905 farm
telephones, like city telephones, de-
clined substantially in number.
Since then the trend has been up

Existing telephone facilities are
large. The half-million Of pole line
already built are capable Of serv-
ing two-thirds of all rural families
in the United States. About 80 per-
cent of all rural homes are close
enough to these existing lines so
that telephone service could be pro-
vided without a construction

TELEPHONE COMPANY
TO SURVEY RURAL
SECTIONS FOR Service

In line with a Bell System pro-
gram to extend and improve rural
telephone service as soon as war
demands on material and manpow-
er permit, The Ohio Bell Telephone
Company is making surveys in typ
ical sections to find out the tele-
phone needs in different kinds of
rural areas.
Some of these surveys have been
completed, some are now in prog
ress and others will be made, so
that the telephone company will
have complete picture of what
should be done to furnish good tele-
phone service at reasonable cost in
farm areas where present commu-
nications facilities are inadequate
The survey will determine:
How many farms are using exist
ing telephone facilities.
How many could have service
over existing lines.
How many could be reached
through a new system being per-
fected by Bell Telephone Labora-
tories for sending telephone con-
versations over rural electric power
lines.
To what extent microwave radio
systems can be used in rural tele-
phone service, especially to reach
people in remote spots.

war telephone needs must come
first, said w. H. Wallace, Ohio
Bell commercial manager.

Never A Last War?
(From the Halifax Herald)

Sceptics and cynics, sadly too many,
blandly assert that we "alWays have
had wars, and we always will have
wars" Such conception if held and
voiced to enough people can easily
lead to a spirit of defeatism and cyni-
cal fatalism sufficient to wreck inter
national conferences and world
peacetable.
Further, it is a conception that is
uttely false. There won't always be
wars" Why? Simply because mod
ern war, with its diabolically clever
and increasing ravage of destructive
weapon, cannot exist together with
civilization; one must destroy the
other. In other words, there cannot
"always be vars because next
war" would be the last.
