For Mrs. B. M. H. of Arlington
/ hope my limited knowledge of
water color paint will help you. We
sprayed our apartment with avacu-
um cleaner sprayer and found the
paint went on much smoother than
when applied with a brush. But we
also discovered, too late, that you
have to cover all surfaces not to be
painted as the paint Is so thin it
flies in every direction. Personally,
don't care for water paint. A WE'LL
known brand, widely advertised and
sold in most stores handling paint
has been used in number of apart

advertised advantages of this type
OF paint it that it is water proof. 7"

The only conclusion that can be
reached by one seeing Hildegarde
again after too long a time is that
she is one of the greatest personali-
ties there is on the cafe entertain
ment scene. Vocally, she is not
above average, if you stop and think
about it. And her own estimate of
her piano playing probably is as ac-
curate as any. II am now going to

POLL

Now on the screen of the Loew- Poli theater is the stirring drama of revenge ad adventure as told in "Cornered," new starring vehicle for Dick Powell. Following Powelrs suc- cess in Murder, My Sweet" his studio gives him an even more dramatic role in "Cornered' as Canadian flyer bent on averaging his murdered bride.
 When the young French bride of a Canadian flying ace is murdered, her husband Swears to avenge her death, and as soon as he is dis charged after VIE Day he goes to France to find the man responsible. That man. he learns, is certain Jarnac, who is supposed to have been killed later by French patriots. The flyer, however, is certain Jar mac is still alive and in hiding. The flyer sets out on the trail of Mime. Jarnac, sure that sooner or later she will lead him to her elusive husband. How that flyer runs his quarry to earth in Buenos Aires forms the thrilling climax to an ad- venturous story.

Miss Cheirel, making her American film debut. plays a French girl. a tool of Vichy collaborationists pos ing as the widow of one of their leaders. while Miss Vale plays an Argentine society woman whose husband is conspirator in Buenos Aires.

STRAND

Samuel Goldwyn,s thrilling film version of "The Hurricane," the famous novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, who wrote "Mutiny On the Bounty, now at the Strand Theatre proved sensational.
 The high point of the picture is, of course the amazing spectacle which gives the story its climax and its name. but the film does not depend upon this alone for its ef- fectiveness. It has tender romance, a picturesque setting, powerful drama-in fact every element of great motion picture entertainment.
 "The Hurricane" gives Jon Hall, the handsome young man of mag nihcent physique. every opportunity to display his abilities.
 Dorothy Lamour, who plays op- posite Hall scores a triumph in a difficult role. Also Goldwyn has given the picture a great cast in- cluding Mary Astor. Sir Aubrey Smith, Thomas Mitchell, Raymond Massey, John Carradine and Jer- anne Cowan. All turn in uniformly excellent performances. and John Lords direction more than Justifies

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Wash Nails Prior To Using Polish
By ALICIA HART
 NEA Stan Writer

Cleaning around the rim of each nail as you poiish-not waiting un- til the stuff dries and is diffi- cult to pry off-is the simple trick that makes a home manicure pass as professional job.
 The beauty -shop girls who take your fingers in hand point out some more faults of the home mani- curist which, if corrected, will help you swing a technique almost as good as theirs.
 Stop carrying your polish laden brush too far over at the sides of the nail. If you do that, flesh em- bedded corners will be pink and messy. even if you clean up the smears,
 Failure to soap-scrub and dry your mails just before you whisk on tlie polish is the reason red coat buckles or goes on bumpy Correct this fault. It's important because nails can pick up oil from your skin during the manicuring process. See if you aren't prouder to exhibit nails which you do yourself.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
Symptoms Due to Physic

symptoms Due to PhySic
 Since receiving your booklet five months ago I haven't taken a laxa- tive or used an enema, and have mt had one sick day. I had used laxatiyeS or enema daily for twen- ty yearS-thought I had to or else. Was under doctors care much of the time for what the doctor called gall-bladder trouble-but now be- lieve it must have been just symp- toms due to all the physic.
 (Mrs. s. R. J.)
 Answer-Very likely. A lot of people-ignorant of physiology and hygiene-are in the same boat forever taking physics or enemas (the poor geekS like to call 'em internal baths" or something equally ahsurd) to relieve the symptoms caused by physics and enemas.

DIETARY DEFICIENCIES

Those individuals, infants, grow. ing children, youth, adults and eld- erly folk, who take a quart of milk or its equivalent in milk products, cheese etc. daily, probably get enough calcium to maintain good nutrition-provlded they also get enough vitanin D internally or enough sunlight on naked skin to assure utilization of calcium Cand phosphorus).
 Since rolling mills replaced the old stone mills a century ago Aln- orleans have suffered more or less from viatmin B-complex deficiency, because refined white flour is rob- bed of most of the vitaniin B-com- plex that was left in the honest whole wheat flour prior to the l840's. Plain wheat, in my opinicn, should be a staple in every well managed household, for it is the richest food source of vitamin B. complex.
 On written request--do not use a clipping-T'll send you a pamphlet Wheat To Eat" containing re- cipes and instructions for the use of plain wheat in the everyday die- tary. Inclose a regular size stamp ed self addressed envelope.
 Tn certain parts of the country (valleys and some flatlands not far from the seal people may get enough idoine from food grown lo- cally and from water, but in more elevated and inland sections there is lack of iodine in soil, animal and vegetable food locally grown, and drinking water. Sometimes people in such sections get their daily requirement. of iodine (nutri- ton authorities estimate the daily requirement as approximately 100 micrograms, equivalent to less than lf65Oth of grain) from iodine rich sea foods (oySters, clans. lob- ster, shrimp, any kind of fresh, salt or canned fish from the seal plus what little iodine they may get in locally grown food and drinking wa- ter and iodized salt if they use iodized salt in place or ordinary oGAes 0AS bCAACNC all duulllOlldI daily ration of iodine is beneficial for the majority of Americans of all ages and such a ration can do no harm even if the individual happens to get enough iodine from ether sources. Further I recommend this extra ration of iodine Git is essential food, not medicine) parti- cularly to prevent and correct cer- tain common complaints, as des- cribed in another pamphlet I am glad to send on written request (not a clipping) if you provide stamped self addressed envelope. If you ask for both of the pamphlets mentioned. inclose ten cents. but for either one alone send just stamped self addressed envelope.
 There it is, folks. Please do not infer that consider a shotgun combination of calcium, vitamin D, iodine and vitamin B-complex a preventive or prophylactic against all common complaints. But I do believe correction of chronic or pro- longed deficiencies of one or more of these nutritional essentials is the best treatment in a great many instances.

It Soys Here
. By BOB HOPE

Now that the manufa sturers are putting out their radios with combination record-players, the sale of records is booming. Tie new machines are able to play ten records at time, and Colonna tells me they're also great for mak- ing flapjacks.
 Everything is being recorded these days, even the singing com@ mercials. They've become so popu- lar they now make the hit-paradel I wonder if Lawrence Tibbett will have any trouble singing one for a headache powder.
 And to make things even easier, they are now making unbreakable records. Everyone is excited about it, especially Spike Jones. That boy breaks his records while still rec ccrding them. Now. that we nave unbreakable records, Benny Goodman's music will have to "bounee' in more ways than one. Now, when they record Till The End of Time" they'll really mean it.
 But the wire recordings" will be the big thing. No more wax disks or needles necessary Just { wire and you'll hear hours of rec cordings. I'll bet I will be able to get a swell rendition of Poor Mir- ium' on a piece of dental floss. And to top everything, they're even planning to wax your fathers mus tache.
 So look out, fellas, the wife can start throwing the old records, too.
