POLES

Ending tonight at the L.oew-Poli theater is the exciting, swift-paced Blood On. The Sum-. Produced by William Cagney, the film co-stars dynamic Jimmy Cagney and the lovely Sylvia Sidney. It is one of the few stories laid in Japan that has come out of Hollywood since the war began.
 The co-feature on this program is the gay new musical comedy Hitch hike to Happiness" with Al Pearce, Dale Evans and Brad Taylor.
 Scheduled to open Wednesday is the spectacular technicolor hit, Mob Hill''. starring George Raft, Joan Bennett, Vivian Blaine and Peggy Ann Garner. Set against the gaudy gaity of the Barbary Coast at the turn of the century-when girls kicked highest. fists crashed hard est and blood ran hottest-the spec tagular drama with music is pack ed with the excitement and thrills of action that's tough and love that's rough
 It's a lighter, trimmer George Raft movie-goers will see in Mob Hill". He is 25 pounds lighter than when he finished the overseas Vic- tory Caravan tour which took him through North Africa, England, Scotland and Italy. He plays the ideal of the Barbary Coast Tony Angel.
 Miss Bennett is the Mob Hill blue blood who comes down to the Bar bary Coast in search of thrills. Viv- ian Blaine is a Barbary Coast gal tough, torrid and terrific as the singing star of Raft's boisterous cabaret Vivian is again champion ing the rights of the under-dog. This time she is pitched against no less a formidable opponent than beautiful Joan Bennett, with George Raft as the romantic reward for the winner.
 This time matters are climaxed by a knock down and -drag-out hair pulling and eye scratching battle in which Joan delivers 8 K. O. But sincerity. devotion and true love will always triumph, and with an assist by little Peggy Ann Garner-Viviar again emerges as the winner to the relieved sighs and hearty applause of poor but-horest-working girls the country over.
 Features in the cast of the hit film are "Falstaff Openshaw" Reed,

WE, THE WOMEN
Girls Feel They Have Good Reason To Be ''Man Crazy"

a man quick and marry him while you can." That is why so many girls are marrying at IT or 18-girls who in ordinary times would have gone on to school for a few more years, and would have taken while to pick and choose a husband.
 Then, too, there is this point that the men-especially those who have been stationed in the Pacific-should understand. The girls are fed up with dateless nights, bored to death with the last few dull, drab years, and so glad to see the servicemen returning that they are in no mood to feign indifference.
 They probably are making a great mistake in giving the men such a rush. But it isn't hard to see why they are so "man crazy, and under the circumstances they should be forgiven for their lack of reticence.

All they hear about the girls of foreign countries is how they chase American servicemen. And naturally they get to thinking that if they don't want to be completely over looked themselves, they had better use bold methods of making them selves noticed.
 In all likelihood, it just hasn't occurred to American girls that with being chased and fought over, and that the best method for land ing them at this point is playing hard to get.
 GIRLS ARE WORRIED
 Then, too, American girls are worried about the possibility of never getting a husband. They know there aren't going to be enough young men to go around.

 Home-canned beef, pork and other home-produced meats are even more important this year than last.
 Use only meat from healthy ani- mals which have been slaughtered and handled under strictly sanitary conditions. After killing, chill it at once and keep it chilled until can- ming time. Meat that has been chill ed is easier to handle than freshly killed meat.
 Remember - it is unsafe to can meat in boiling water bath, an oven, or steamer without pressure, or an open kettle.
 BEEF, VEAL, PORK, LAMB
 For canning as large pieces, use aoin and other cuts suitable for roasts, steaks, or chops. For can- ming as stew meat, use the less tender cuts and smaller pieces.
 Cut meat from bone. Set aside bones to make soup. Trim away most of the fat without unduly Blashing the lean.
 For larger pieces, cut into pieces that will slip easily into the glass jars or tin cans, with the grain of the meat running lengthwise.
 The smaller pieces of stew meat are handled and processed just like larger pieces.
 Hot Pack
 Put meat in large shallow pan; k4p k~ from sticking. Cover pan and pre- cook meat slowly until medium done, stirring occasionally, so meat will heat evenly.
 II salt is desired, put level meas ure into clean, empty containers; 1-2 teaspoon in pint jars or No. 2 cans; 3-4 teaspoon in No. 2 Ia cans; l teaspoon in quart jars or No. cans.
 Pack meat hot. Leave about 1 inch above meat for head space in glass jars; 1-2 inch in tin cans.
 Pour into hot broth or hot water to cover meat. Again leave 1 inch at top of glass jars for head space; i'll tin cans to top.
 Work out air bubbles with knife. Add more liquid, if need ed, to cover meat. Be sure to leave inch head space in jars, and have cans filled to top.

IN HOLLYWOOD .

It takes two bands a night. sometimes three. to mako enough of the fast music the kids like. Tommy Dorsey and Kay Kyser are a frequent combination. Some times they play rhumbas, waltzes and the kind of music the old folks used to call a fox trot. The .GI's and their WACs, WAVES and junior hostesses, all squares, go right on jiving, somewhat like an Indian war dance in an egg beater factory.
 The CTS still complain that the Canteen isn't as big as the one they saw in a motion picture by Warner Bros, but they have fun just the same at the rate of about 2500 a night. The Canteen prom ises to be on hand when they pass through returning from Japan.
 Judging from the frenzed vigor their customers display nightly on the dance floor, Canteen people suggest that this won't be long. HEADED FOR STARDOM
