Conscience, the civic kind, impels
her to report the crime instantly to
the police These police, like all
those in Charteris's books, dislike
such Interruptions and when they
indicate their displeasure, the girl
undertakes to solve the crime her
self.
Not quite by herself, understand,

the police. he is irritated by the

a labyrinthine night club, what with
its wine and other cellars, its dress

fences get quite familiar with it

acters walk around. When they are
not walking around at a pace that
is usually calm to the point of in
difference, they slug each other with
blunt instruments until, at one time
or another, virtually every one is a
casualty to the debutante's capri
cious determination to bring the
murderer to justice.
Happily, it is contrary to critical
morality to reveal the solution of
Keith's dark farce, but it can be
said that it is considerably less ir-
ritating than the ending of Uncle

urbanely witty, and not getting any
where. Motion pictures should get
somewhere, even detective fiction
calculated to deceive.
Universal Pictures, as usual, has
taken lavish care of its favorite star
in Keith's farce. 1t has surrounded
her with a cast that no less than
reeks with expensive players. A
few of them include Ralph Bellamy,
Edward Everett Horton, Daniel Dur
yea. Patricia Morrison, David Bruce
and Allen Jenkins.
The studio also has seen to it
that Deanna is given ample oppor-
tunity to indulge her vocal Spe-
cialty. Now in her second marriage
and turned blond-for this occasion
she is regarded as have come suf-
ficiently of age and maturity to deal
with such sophisticated vocal ma
terial as Cole Porter's Might and

of course. although the number sung

The detective fictionist is perhaps
the funniest of the lot. So are the
two nephews Of the dead man, Bel
lamy and Duryea, a couple of USE
less young aristocrats who think
it is terribly amusing OF the mur-
dered uncle to have cut them of
with dollar apiece. Another
laughable member of the family is
dour old Aunt Charlotte, who thinks
it highly remiss of her dead brother
to have left all his money to a
night club singer who formerly filled
up the gaps in his nocturnal life.
In any one else's family, the Aunt
Charlotte type is a humorous addi-
ton. The Waring family is no ex-
ception. ** x y

Distribution, Not
Shortage, Called
Big Food Trouble

Washington - (AP)-It's popu-
lar these days to scream at the
Office of Price Administration,
but OPA isn't responsible for all
that has happened to the Ameri-
can dinner table.
For example, there really isn't
any meat famine. It's true that
this year we have nearly rs
pounds per person less meat than
last year, but we still have 125
per person this year.
The trouble is distribution. The
big cities are far short on legiti-
mate meat distribution; the
smaller cities aren't short at all.
In the nations capital there's
nothing much scarcer than a
chicken; yet the supply of chicken
for each American is only 2.3
pounds less than it was last year
and about z pounds under the
top pre-war supply.
There are about one-quarter
more eggs than pre-war times,
but in some cities it is practi-
cally impossible to get an edible
egg. OPA officials and members
of Congress suffer along with the
rest, but there isn't much they
can do about it.
The butter shortage is real
about 40 per cent under pre-war
levels.
There's beginning to be some
confusion about labor shortages.
Some var plants are closing
down; others r asking that as
many as helf their employees hand
in voluntary designations. On the
other hand some areas have such
severe shortages that the war eff
fort isn't rocking along as smooth
ly as it should.
The Women's Bureau of the
Department of labor is saying
frankly: Labor shortages on the
nations farms have reached acute
proportions at a time when, in
addition to filling the platters of
the American soldiers and civili-
ans, there's an urgent need to
help feed Europe.
The bureau figures at least $780,
OOO emergency women farm
workers will be needed in this
harvest.

veloped on the farms in this war.

of women farm volunteers. The
Department of Labor Women S
Bureau says that's all changed
now. Quoting an east coast farm
err who has hired scores of wo-
men, the bureau reports: The
quality of their work is very
good. After a few weeks the non
farm women are as good as any
women agricultural workers.
They work right along, don't lool,
catch on quickly.
The great problem, according
to the bureau. is that too many OF
the gals think of working on the
farm as a vacation.
Nine-hour days, with an hour
off for lunch and two 15-minute
rest periods in between Chats
tops in ideal working conditions
on a farm aren't any vacation if
you're pitching hay, stacking
grain, or harvesting vegetables.
