 Speaking of stars, I'm always baf- fled by the stubborn insistence Of most Hollywood producers that tho only measure of a players fame is his reputation in New York.

Yet, properly appraised Tor his hold on film audiences, ha would be certain to rate near the bottom of the list, far below score of cowboy actors who have never appeared on "The Big Stem" Even here in Hollywood, populated as it Is by transplanted New Workers. the value of man like Jessel 6 dubious.

DISTINCTION OF DRINKING
 WATER

VAAEn
 Water from the tap in almost any community where there is muni- cipal water supply is as safe to drink as is the food in the same area to eat. Besides the local health board or department there is the the state or provincial health board department backing - these officers, experts, authorities are re- sponsible to the public and, If you ask me to have a drink, I'll take mine from the tap of the village, town or city supply.
 However. how can one tell wheth- CT water from wayside spring, well, stream, pond or puddle is safe to drink in an emergency? One can't be sure 1t is safe to drink just because 1t looks clean, clear and pure and tastes all right. One way is to carry a small supply of Halazone tablets in the pocket emergency kit and add one tablet to a quart of the water, shake 1t up, let stand a few minutes, when the water will be safe to drink. Halazone is a chlorine compound, designed for emergency disinfec- ton of drinking water. Another way is to dissolve a level teaspoonful chloride of lime'' (chlorinated lime, bleaching powder) in lh pints or 3 measuring cups of 8 ounces each of water, to make the mother solution. Use teaspoonful of this mother solution to a gallon of the questionable water, shake 1t up, let 1t stand twenty minutes, and then the water will be safe to drink, A third way for emergency disinfec- ton of questionable water is by putting five drops of standard Mild Tincture of Iodine (U. s. P.) in a quart of the water, shaking 1t up, letting 1t stand fifteen minutes In this method 1t is all right if you use anywhere from three to eight drops, five drops being just the approximate amount required,
 All of these methods for disir1- fecting drinking water are for ern- ergency use only and are not suit able for constant use, although any of them is reliable and unobjection- able to use for several days or 6 week If necessary,
 Now for Pete's sake don't get in- to a technical discussion with the druggists devil about which iodine you want-no matter what the boy says about it there is just one strength of Mild Tincture of Iodine and If the label says MILD Tine ture of IODINE you need not both CT about the 'steenteen other strengths the clerk enjoys telling you about If you look dumb. If you let the clerk sell you anything else than MILD Tincture of Iodine, that's your problem-I can't help you. I'm warning you to make cer- tain the label on the iodine vial is printed MILD TINCTURE of To- DINE-and beware of the stuff If the word mild is written on the la- bel printed tincture of Iodine. In- cidentally, MILD TINCTURE OF IODINE comes with poison" la bel for a peculiar trade reason which we need not stop to deplore here. If you are likely to be fright ened by the "poison" or skull and crossbones label, just forget the whole business, or use one of the other methods for disinfecting dringing water.

 Actually, Dillinger,s life had been uneventful until an Indiana girl tilted him in 1923. To forget, he joined the Navy, but 1t did no good, 50 he deserted six months later.

 In the film, "the lady in red" is portrayed by Anne Jeffreys, and Edmund Lowe is also featured. The cast includes Eduardo Ciannelli, Marc Lawrence and Elisha Cook, Jr. as members of the notorious Dil- finger mob. Maurice, and Franklin King produced the film, which was directed by Max Nosseck, and the original screenplay was written by Philip Yordan.

weak. She sank down on the dried grass, then suddenly she flung herself face down, hands clenched into futile fists, crying tearlessly with great hurting sobs.
 She hardly noticed that 1t grew dark and the stars came out, re- mote and pale. But after a long time she began to be afraid, and still more afraid to admit that fear.
 It was then Thayer thought of Hildreth. Though she had been unable today to conflde what lay in her heart, yet now in her ex- tremity Hildreth stood forth as a very tower of strength.
 Her teeth were chattering as she made her way down to the car; she was shaking all over. She kept saying aloud, as if the very words were a panacea, 'T'll go to Aunt Hildreth - Aunt Hildreth , She was not driving well. She did not see the car ahead stopping and had to set her brakes with terrific force to avoid collision. But the car behind, having no warning, crashed into her, and she was thrown against the wheel and badly shaken. Bumpers being sturdy, actual damage was slight and something in her face halted the tirade of the indignant drivers of the cars involved. One of them asked in a curious voice, Lady, you ain't hurt, are youp You you look sick.'

FREEDOM FROM
HUNGER PROBLEM
in india

Postwar security for midas 400,
100000 depends on easing present
Embellishments, particularly for the
mel ]. Thomas, professor of Econom.
les at the University of Madras and
adviser to the India delegation at the
United Nations Conference. DIR.
Thomas is one Of the fortunate farm
ers who owns and operates 200 acres
of rubber, free from debt He feels
that unless those at the bottom of
midas tax load can free themselves
from this bondage, the future is not
bright, for them, or for us. The pur-
chasing power of one-fifth of the
worlds population for the produce of
American factories is tied to a con-
structive solution of India's agricul-
tural problems.
The average farm in India is about
three acres of very poor land. The
"ryot" or cultivator who works this
land does not and cannot own it, I'M
der the present system of absentee
land owners used as tax collectors for
the government. Between the man
who actually cultivates the land and
the government there may be as many
as 20 tenure holders, each exacting
tribute from the "ryot", and passing
the remainder through the hands of
Intermediates until it reaches the
treasury
AS result, the majority of midas
300,000,000 agricultural families (three
quarters of the population) are power
ty-stricken. The trader, who markets
their produce, sometimes makes more
by a days transaction than its pro-
ducers can earn after six months of
hard toll in sun and rain. Each year
millions of debt-ridden tenants are
pushed off their land.
midas peasants starve half the
year, their fields idle. Tools, fertil-
izer, irrigation, education and organi-
cation are needed to break this dead
lock Secure tenure, fair rents, free

Contribute

Arrangements for more than 100, 600
metric tons of supplies for the nber-

United Nations Relief and Rehabilita-

This is the beginning of these coun.

of the tonnage, which includes food

shipped by the end of summer to the
liberated European countries receiy-
ing UNRRA assistance - Czechoslo-

bania and Italy.
Latin American nations furnishing
these supplies are Brazil, Chile, Cuba,
the Dominican Republic, Peru and
Uruguay. Procurement has begun in
other member nations in Central and
South America.
Procurement in Brazil includes TO-
900 tons of cotton seed oil, 10000 tons
of cotton sed meal, 1,400 tons Of can
ned fish, and 1000 tons of soap. Pro-
duction of textiles for the liberated
areas has started in Brazil and it is
estimated that approximately 10000
600 yards will be ready for shipment
by August.
Chile is sending $4,000 tons of nj
trate of soda to be used as fertilizer
in Greece, Poland and Yugoslavia.
Shipment is expected to be completed
by July 10.
Cuba is furnishing 10000 tons of
sugar.
The Dominican Republic is sending
5000 tons of corn to Yugoslavia.
Peru is providing 1000 tons of
beans and 600 tons of fish to Czecho-

there is not enough of the right kind
of food to provide proper nutrition.
There is much too little milk, fruits,
vegetables, fish and poultry. Because
most of the population is underem-

time, purchasing power for the food
and goods which a modernized India
could supply is lacking.
Irrigation systems, providing water
to 60 million acres of desert, will par
TALLY solve the problem. One of these
systems, the Lloyd Barrage, is ex-
pected to utilize $4,000 miles of water
