ducts leading from the liver to the gall bladder, they carry the ever present germs.
 I've done everything right" the old lady said. I've done nothing wrong"
 Under Health Department rules, she must report at regular intervals. She must convince a nurse that she has learned to remain always clean. She is taught to be especially careful Of her handS-and is never allowed to handle food for others.
 Found in Drain Pipe
 This particular woman was cor rect" Dr. Frant said, "she had done all that"
 But the nurse discovered that an apartment on the second floor which used the same drain pipe as the carriers apartment, recently had a toilet that had overflowed re- gently.
 Inspectors went downstairs and found fruit and vegetable store. In the rear was a huge icebox.
 The icebox ceiling formed the floor of the second story apartment where the overflow occurred" Frant explained. Our inspectors question ed the stores operator and he ad- mitted there had been some leak age on his fruit"
 Staff Relieved
 Then Frant's staff went back to the patientS-now numbering 19
 Did you buy fruit from that store?" they asked.
 Each patient replied, "yes"
 We knew then that we had it solved" Frant said, and we were certainly relieved"
 Tt is sometimes possible to cure carriers by having the gall bladder removed
 But it's only successful in about 25 percent of cases" Frant explain ed. Anyhow, most carriers would refuse to have an operation, and the law says that you can't force a man to risk his life"
 To Keep Eye on 19
 The Health Department will keep its eye on the 19 patients for at least a year, taking regular specimens.
 From two to five per cent of those who have typhoid later be- come carriers" Dr. Weinstein ex- plained.
 Typhoid Mary" was the first known carrier Her real name was Mary Mallon, and she worked as a cook or dish-washer Since her dis covery, in 1907, New York has listed 1,578.
 But Weinstein and Frant still have hopes of cornering that un- known 4,50O.

5000 Killers LiUe Normally in NeW York

New York Sept. g. (UP)-There are 5000 persons, living normal lives in New York, who could kill you just by fixing a dish of potato salad.
 There are hundreds in every large city in the United States.
 Five hundred of these unfor- tunate New Workers are known and Health Department author ities keep constant check on them But 4,500 are mystery men. In many cases their dread secret is unsus- pected even by themselves.
 They are carriers" of typhoid fever.
 Why do we worry so much about them?" asked Dr. Israel Weinstein, New York City Health Commis- sioner. Our city averages only about 100 cases year, so why should we be upset?" Puts Best Man on Job Weinstein, a slim man with seri- ous eyes, answered himself:
 We're worried because these people are a constant menace. The only way to wipe out typhoid is to get to the carriers--all of them" To the New York Health Depart ment, coached by Weinstein, this is grim game. It's microbe- e-hunting cops and-robbers.
 we had case recently which illustrates my point" Weinstein said. Ut was so urgent that I put my deputy commissioner, Dr. Sam uel Frant, in charge" Frant, an energetic man who ap- parently spends most of his waking hours answering telephones, took up from there.
 On Aug. 14 case of typhoid was reported in Washington Heights, a combination residential business section at the top of Manhattan.
 German Progresses
 On Aug. 15, the count had jumped to five cases.
 we got worried then" Frant said. "Dr. Weinstein had me put our two top epidemiologists-Dr. William B. Birnkrant and Dr. O. J. PeIlitteri-on the job."
 An epidemiologist is an expert on epidemics. He knows what makes them tick, and the best steps to take against them.
 They worked just as if they were detectives" Frant said. They asked the patients all kinds of ques- tions and kept a careful list Of answers"
 Six more typhoid cases were re- ported.
 Become Worried
 we were stymied," Frant said. We put all our facts together, and nothing jibed. We talked to ITO food handlers in 50 different stores in a five-block area"
 Specimens were taken from each food handler, and department lab oratories worked overtime on tests.
 But we still couldn't find any thing" Frant said. We were up against blank wall.
 We added nurses to the staff. All known carriers in the neighbor- hood were closely questioned. but still we wound no clue"
 Women Leading Carriers
 Finally the case broke. A nurse went to see a known carrier a 76-year-old woman who lived on the top floor of a f1ve-story build ing.
 At least 80 percent of "carriers" are women. In their bodies, prob ably in the gall bladder or in the

Hollywood, Sept. 9-In the event that Lawrence Tierney is found guilty of the drunk and disorder ly' charge now hanging over his head, it will be interesting to see whether or not his studio bosses will make good their threats. Some months ago, after he had fallen afoul of the law for the third time since winning screen fame, they let it be known that fourth offense would bring about his prompt dis missal from their contract list.
 If RKO actually carries out that threat Judgement certainly should be suspended until his guilt has been clearly established in court), {, Tierney's fate is very apt to have a sobering effect on more than one Hollywood playboy.
 It's been years since any studio has had backbone enough to en- force the good conduct" clause which is part of every contract is- sued to a player. Not only have stars gone unpunished for misdeeds that made headlines; their studio bosses, time after time, have used every available means to hush up their pecadillos and wllitewash them in the eyes of the fans. In the case of one notorious scapegrace it's common knowledge that his studio, on several occasions, has dug deep to make financial settlements as were needed to keep him out of ser- ious trouble.
 If Tierney is guilty as charged, RKO should give him the gate with out hesitation, and reconcile itself for the loss of a valuable player by knowing that the welfare of the entire industry is being served. Stars who have so little regard for their position that they continually court scandal need to be taught stern lesson.

STRAND

Described as typical "Cagney Entertainment" and affording the popular redhead star an entirely new background for his fast-moving adventures, Great Guy" now at the Strand Theater, as James Cagney's first Grand National picture.
 Great Guy" is the story of an honest and fearless deputy in the Department of Weights and Mea- sureS of large city, who sets out to break up a powerful ring of crooks and political grafters, who are behind the organized cheating of the public in the sale of every day necessities. Before he succeeds in obtaining the necessary evidence to convict and expose the grafters, the young deputy almost loses the love of his girl, his character and his life, but the manner in which he succeeds forms an absorbing piece of screen fare, which shows the dynamic and sturdy young star at his best.
 Great Guy is James Cagney's first new picture in almost a year. and will be welcomed by myriads of Cagney fans for that reason alone. This interest will be doubled by the fact that Mae Clark appears op- poslte the star, thus bringing to- gether again the popular screen team of Public Enemy" and Lady Killer" Also prominent in the cast are James Burke, Edward Brophy, Henry Kolker, Bernardine Hayes, Robert Glecker, Joseph Sawyer, Ed ward Gargan and others.
 Great Guy" was produced for Grand National by Douglas Mac- Lean and directed by John G. Bly, stone. It was adapted from the popular Johnny Cave stories in the Saturday Evening Post by James Edward Grant.
 Featured with Great Guy" is the exciting picture, Men of San Quentin"

because of illness and inability to concentrate"

Gerald c. has a problem charac- teristic of a limited number of vet erans. His need for financial help and the inadequacy of his pension undoubtedly represent to him his first and most obvious problem. He possibly has other problems which he may or may not recognize. He may be i'll and, therefore, in need of medical attention. He may never have found suitable employment or may need some type of counseling or training which, if available, would help him find himself.
 The chapter worker also recog- nizes his need for immediate fln- ancial assistance but she does not lose sight of the fact that this need is caused by other situations which will have to be adjusted in order that the veteran will become self supporting again.
 As matter of policy, chapter funds may be used to extend fin- ancial assistance on the basis of need to any veteran during the period of his transition from mili- tary service to civilian life.
 Each Red Cross chapter on a lo- cal basis determines the extent to which its resources will be made available for this purpose. In deter mining its policy each chapter will consider the available federal, state, and local resources, public and pri- vate including those esnecial1v rYro- vided for veterans and their de- pendents.
 Gerald c. may need the services of a number of these community and federal resources; the Veter- ans Administration, U. s. Employ ment Service, public welfare agen- cies, and local psychiatrists. In the light of these resources and the chapters own financial assistance policy, the chapter will plan to aS- sist the veteran in solving his prob lens.

Facts For Veterans

Gerald c. was discharged from service because of a nerv- ous condition. He filed a claim for disability at the time of his discharge, and subsequently, was advised by the Veterans Administration that his disabil- ity was found to be service con- nected and that he was award ed disability pension amount ing to $34.50 a month. He is applying to his local Red Cross chapter for financial assistance because he and his family, in cluding the three children, can't live on $34.50. He says that he has been forced to give up three jobs in three months

that he's just seen ''Thunderhead, Son of Flicka," and is wondering how the production crew took such daring closeups of a coiled rattle snake. Was it done with teleproto lens? It wasn't-but the man in Caney can depend on it that a heavy screen, with an opening just large enough to admit the camera lens separated the members of the movie troupe from the snake. Ade- quate safeguards are always en- ployed in the filming of such scenes. Incidentally pulling a snakes fangs is not adequate because, fangs or no fangs, most screen players seem unable to keep their minds on their jobs with snake roaming around loose on the set. I remem- Der watching 8 scene for Para mounts Moon Over Burma filmed. The director, knowing that the big king cobra hired for the occasion had been defanged, insisted on 1t being left unrestrained. It would have been a grand scene-if only they'd been able to induce Dorothy Lamour to get down off the library table.
 Rudy ValIee, who lives in house of many floor levels atop the Holly wood Hills, is one of Hollywood'S most informal hosts, always inviting chance acquaintances to "drop in Sometime-anytime, in fact" Us- ually the invitations are accepted and thereby hangs chuckle. Go- ing home from a radio rehearsal the other afternoon, Rudy found man disporting himself in his swim ming pool. Unable to remember the swimmers name, but sure that he's seen him somewhere, Vallee decid- ed that he was one of the chance acquaintances referred to above and asked if he were enjoying him. self. The guest" proved to be a bricklayer, hired couple of days before to build new retaining wall
 There's an amusing sidelight on human nature in the story of one Carlos Valdez, a Mexican bullf1ghter who, under the screen name of Val Carlo, is playing an important role in Comet Productions Don Coy ote" Senor Valdez, imported from Mexico for the assignment, turned out to be an inveterate western fan. Rigged out in a vacquero outfit, with silver spurs and pearl handl- ened six-gun. he was in a seventh heaven of delight until he discovered that the script gave him no shoot ing scene. Delight turned to despair and despair to temperament. For tunately the picture script was not too tight" to admit few changes. A sympathetic director wrote in an added scene. Senor Valdez was given a chance to draw his deadly gun and let william have it in the mid riff. He's again one of Hollywoods happiest men.
