idols of thousands Of youngsters were
first produced by enterprising movie
makers in France.
The cowboy picture has come
down to us in various stages. The
dramatic. double-barreled, hard.
riding kind has given place to the
romantic. singing type, in which the
hero rides through the story with
song on his lips and a gun in his
hand.
This form of entertainment is
aimed generally at the youngsters,
but not too specifically (my grand
mother loves 'em), 50 I thought I'd
find the children's opinion OF them.
I interviewed some Of the neigh
borhood boys, from Z to 13 years old.
They 60 to the movies once q week,
that being the Saturday matinee. I
consider them to be average boys.
Here is what I learned:
The boys enjoy the double features
more than the single pictures. They
like variety in the type OF pictures.
but don't protest If both features
are Westerns. A serial is an abso-
lutte necessity. A cartoon also is
regular fare, enjoyed by all.
The older boys are interested in
the trained animals and their tricks
as . part of the picture.
The older boys feel that girl is
essential to q Western. IF the hero
gives the girl = fadeout kiss, it's not
too terrible" asserted the older boys,
but the younger ones held q grim,
determined, silence on that issue.
None Of the boys would trade the
Westerns for anything else, but II .
new plot we're developed, that would
be all right, If it had lots Of action.
All the boys enjoy the Westerns. but
none are seriously thinking Of cow
punching As an occupation.
l submit, in conclusion, that the
double-feature Western is a good.
inexpensive form Of entertainment
for all folks, particularly youngsters.

the hobby from her sister Phyllis
three years ago, and has been going
at 1t strong ever since.
Deborah attributes her success in
having so many different cards to
the trades she has made at home,
in the neighborhood and at school
with friends who also have been
interested in doing the same thing.
"At first" she says. Il used to buy
the cards, but this cost too much
money, so managed to get most of
them by trading with Others"
As to the secret OF having such a
large and varied assortment, she tells
this story: Il have two, maybe three
duplicates for a lot of my cards,
and if friend has any to trade
which could use in my collection,
then the extras really come in handy.
Sometimes. If I have a very pretty
card, or one that hasn't been seen
much In circulation, I'll be able to
get two or three cards for mine"

Scouting in Japan
Prize Contribution
By Glodys M. Jordan, II
Jokyo American School

When I was in Japan last sum-
mer, I went to a Girl Scout camp
In Gotemba, about so miles from
Tokyo. I was in q tent with three
other girls and q counselor.
We went on several smile hikes.
On one of these hikes, we went
mountain climbing, and our Scout
leaders got sick. The older girls
kept on climbing, but the younger
ones and the leaders stayed behind.
In the morning we woke up
early and started down. We saw
many Zori Japanese shoes along
the path. The Japanese wear them
and then throw them away.

She has well over 5000. counting
her duplicates.
Deborah has fashioned three pic
turesque albums of dogs, cats and
horses, and the rest she keeps in
shoe boxes and a cigar box. She
has also, for instance, colorful cards
with pictures of other animals,
birds, fish. pin-ups, houses, ships,
flowers and people Of many nation
alities. To get away from the COM
mon garden variety of pasteboards,
she has round one shaped like a
silver dollar, only larger, which she
prizes highly.
Deborah is determined to keep
right on with her collection until
she reaches 5000. 1t keeps her occu-
pied and gives her ample opportu-
nifty to make new friends. Deborah
lives at $40 Fourth street NV,
and will be in her second year at
Paul Junior High School next fall.

Contains No Soap

s@~>SAS W. N~~F
Artra contains no soap to
smart young sensitive eyes. Old
fashioned soap, made from fats
and caustic soda, produces an
alkaline lather which stings the
eyes. Artra's magic soapless
lather is neutral and doesn't
smart eyes like soap.
Unlike soap, which combines
with the minerals in water to
form a scum, Artra contains q
new special cleaning ingredient
which rinses out quickly and
completely in any water. Thus
Artra cleans hair cleaner, leaves
hair more lustrous than "soap-
ing" with even the finest liquid
or cream shampoos.
S Ways Better Than Soap
Despite the fact that Artra
contains no soap, q small guam
tity makes billions Of bubbles Of
lather q veritable ocean Of
suds that works 5 ways better
than old-fashioned soap or soap
shampoos.

soap.
(2) Cleans hair cleaner, leaves

(3) Artra Is non-alkalins and
safe for young scalps and

az Easy to apply because
there's no soapy liquid to
trickle into sensitive eyes.
And no jar or bottle to spill
or break.
~ It leaves no soap scum,
therefore, needs no special
rinse.
