Far from home they may some
times wonder and worry for fear
their families have learned to get
along without them. They may
wonder whether or not they are
still important members of the
family circle when they read
cheerful letters from home say
ing, Don't worry about us, we
are getting along fine
They may even search their
minds for keys" to unlock the
closely-knit family units they have
had no real part in for SO long.
They often worry about how to
get wife, who has gone home
for the duration, to break away
from the influence of her family;
how to re-establish a marriage
that was barely started before the
war interfered; how to become a
real father to the child to whom
Daddy is only picture on the

And yet for all their searching
for keys to open these doors to
the lives they once led, most serv-

bocher explained:
IF 1 can't design clothes that
not only heighten the beauty of
the actress but also enhance the
story, then l won't do the job at
all.
"In the first act Tallulah wears

length red cape. Later she appears
in her child's dream, and the cape
is five times as large and wrap

. DRAMA: Full length cape OF
scarlet worn with a sculptured
black gown marks Tallulah as
dangerous gal.
Much of the time her back is to
the audience. This presented a
challenging problem to Mainboch-
er. Said ne:
1T would have looked awful,
wouldn't it, to have a tight dress
straining at the shoulder seams, as
the usual dress would do in such
a position, So I avoided this by at
taching long, vertical draperies
which would fall straight and loose
when .Tallulah raised her arms,
would give feeling of grace and
motion and also carry out the
somewhat classic Greek feeling OF
the scene"
Such is the way of a designer
with a star-and the results are
worth the trouble.

tions section of the federal wild
life service, is in the valley super
intending the planting of food fav-
ored by the ducks. approximately
three and half sections of land in
the vicinity of Salton sea will be
seeded. This food is selected for
being most tempting to ducks and
is said to toll the ducks from the
ranches to the area bordering the
sea where they may feed without
damaging the fields.
Planting done now is to take
care of the early duck arrivals"
Horn said Monday. The early ar.
rivals feed on rice, Horn pointed out.
Horn conferred with County Agri-
cultural Commissioner B. A. Harri-

Horn explaining that the wildlife
service did not want to plant any,
thing which would cause trouble
or damage of any kind. Considerable
study of the correct paintings have
been conducted throughout the
