P|N-UP GIRL. MODEL MOTHER
Beauty winner turned model says:
my dental beauty secret
is no secret to my daughter!"

X/oU MIGHT THINK that being model, secre
/ tary and singer would be career enough for
any woman. Especially when you add beauty
prizes and an officers "Pin-up Club" during the
war.
But not for Florida's lovely Laura O'Banion.
Her major interest lies in her blond, 7-year-old
daughter Patricia whose wholesome smile al
ready reflects her mothers care.
For Laura's modelling career has taught her
the Importance of smile And she's making sure
that Patty practices the same dental beauty
secret she herself follows: Regular brushing, fol-
lomed by gam massage with extra Ipana. A radiant
smile you see, depends on sparkling teeth. And
sparkling teeth call for firm, healthy gums.

WiIIimontic Youth Finds Map Mistake
 Error Escapes
 100000 Readers
 Including Teacher
By WILLIAM D. CLARK

United Press Stair CoFreSpoNuent
 Willimantic, Conn, March l4- (Up)-A precoeious fourth-grader who knows her equator was credited today with discovering a text book mistake that has escaped the notice of more than 100000 other readers including her own red.faced geo. graphy teacher,
 Father Helped
 Nlne-year-old Barbara Balkan of Willimantie learned all about the imaginary line on the earth's sur. face from the letters her sailor father wrote her, She knew just where the equator belonged, at least on the map, and when she spotted 1t in the wrong place in her school book, Exploring new fields" she was puzzled,
 Teacher" she asked Miss Mary Fryer, Are you sure the equator always stays in the same place9"
 "Why, certainly" replied Miss Fryer who iss acher-principal of the StorrS Elementary School. What makes you ask that ques- tionP"
 "well," said Barbara pointing de- tiantly at two maps, This book has 1t in two different places"
 Miss Fryer examined the two maps and found that Barbara was right-one had labeled the first par- allel north of the equator erron- eouSly as equator" The second map had the line in the right place.
 At Barbara's suggestion, the tea cher wrote to the firm that pub lished the book, Houghton Mifflin Co.,, of Boston, calling the editors attention to the mistake.
 Back came an acknowledgement thanking Barbara for noting the faux pas and promising to restore the equator to its rightful place in the next edition.
 T am sure that you will be in- tereSted to know that the alert fourth grade pupil who discovered the error in placement of the equator( is, so far as we know, the original discoverer of this error" the publishing firm wrote. T t not only escaped the members of the editorial department and the au- thors during the time the books were being prepared, but also eluded the eyes of thousands of children and teachers who have used the book since publication"
 An editor at Houghton Mifflin es. timated that about 100000 readers of the text had overlooked the error. New Class Trend
 Miss Fryer said she didn't mind being shown up by one of her own pupils. But she is disturbed over a new trend to the class.
 Every time pass out a set of books now" she complained, my pupils spend all their time trying to find errors and never get their lessons done"

RsRMOs or A TIHEATERGoER
 On March la, 1906, an ofganizA- tihn called the American PlaygoerS (a00 strong) met at the Hotel AS. tor under the ohairmanShip or Amelia Bingham, Q playwright, to blast the critics Their plant was much the same as todays playwrlghts' Coy-that the critics paid too much attention to small details and missed the overall message of the play The case was cited of Joseph Jefferson, who was deeply wounded by a critic who called hin stingy because he wouldn't get new scenery for his sRin Van Wrinkle" The folio. inc year the Blnghams again made headlines This time her hus- band (enraged because his wifes new play had again been roasted) Eneaked up on critic Acton Davies in the Hoffman House, knocked him down and bit his finger.
 So sensational was this turn in theatrical history that the New York Herald ran Q symposium on It's Sunday page: should drama critics be bitten?" The answers by well known actors of the time included we actors have to be careful what we eat"
 No. 1t might lead to 0 law re- duiring actors to wear Q muSzle, thus cutting down their efficiency 70. K, if the critic is not too tough" and Am always ready to try new dishes, Have him well done but first remove the jackass' harness"
 In 1903 in England a barnstorm- ing actor sued a small-town news paper whose critic had blasted him when the year before he had giV-- en him good reviews, The court ruled for the actor, awarding him 1000 pounds and costs, consider ing the criticism unwarranted. Tile court of appeals reversed the dc. cision saying the critic could not be sued for libel since malice could not be proved.
