Sammy Seymour, orchestra leader
on the Starlight Roof of the Roger
Smith Hotel, is setting forth the
theory that composers of current
popular songs seem to have written
themselves out. If it isn't that, it's
something else. because something
is wrong. Mr.. Seymour has reached
this conclusion not by consulting his
own tastes, but by paying attention
while at work.
I'VE get plenty of requests every
night" he says, but it's very rarely
that anyone asks for song written
in the last few months. The custo-
ners always ask for those solid tunes
that were written a number of years
ago."
The answer the composers can
make to the Starlight Roofs emf
nent conductor, of course, is that
tunes written in the past few months
do not have memories attached to
them yet. A few years from now Mr..

The Judgment in favor of Miss
Paul, who is still in her teens, was
signed by Justice Alexander Holtz-
off upon consent Of counsel for the
American Women's Voluntary Serv-
ices, Inc, 1900 block of Twenty Sec
ond street NV. The verdict was
against the latter organization,
which ran the canteen.
Miss Paul was burned, according
to the suit, when an employe of
the canteen ran into her with a
kettle of water Because she is a
minor, the suit was brought in Miss
Paul's behalf by her mother, Mrs.
Adeline Van Nostrand Paul. Miss
Paul and her mother were repre-
sented by Attorney John Geyer
Tausig.

Seymour will be playing today's
songs for dancers for whom they
have fond memories-people like
the girl we overheard at the Met
ronome Room the other night.
"Oh, darling, let's dance" she said.
They're playing our song, Nov Is
the Hour" The fact that the Or
chestra was playing Tell Me a

do with the argument Composers
might write a few new songs that

Abby put hand on the foot of
the bed. Il know it sounds like
nonsense, but you remember
Candida and it is perfectly pos
sible for a youngster to fall in love
with an older woman and -"
George sat up in bed abruptly.
What are you talking about?"
Abby took a deep breath. me.
Me and Blk"
George laughed.
Quite suddenly, Abby was furi-
Gus. She turned to reach in the
closet for her striped housecoat.
Her cropping hand found a new
gray and white print she had
bought with the Thanksgiving
housewarming in mind. She
slipped it over her head. She tied
a gray ribbon around her hair,
Alice in Wonderland fashion. 1t
was a style popular with LIS
crowd. When she turned around,
George was still grinning.
ABBY" he said, ABBY, dar-
ling. Blk is just a baby"
"A few minutes ago he was a
sophisticated menace to your
daughter"
Where's your sense of humor?"
Abby clenched her teeth. For
an instant, she longed to be big
enough to toss George out of the
window and break both of his
ankles. Then she put patient
smile on her face. my sense of
humor is all right. You're the one
who always loses it when you turn
your ankle. It's too bad you can't
lose your appetite, too"
Come to think of it," George
said slowly, Il am hungry. How
about a sardine sandwich on rye
bread with a bottle of beer?"
ABBY reached down and scooped
up Shakespeare. Downstairs, she
shut him in the breakfast room
with a dog biscuit. Then she put
a coverall apron over the gray
print, opened a can of sardines
and called the principal of LIS
high school, Mabel Jones. Mabel
was an old girl of Georges but she
had no illusions about him. When
Abby mentioned the ankle, Mabel
promised to head off Liz and her
gang, so they wouldn't be clutter
ing up the living room and annoy
ing George. Abby also told herself
that if she were a woman of char
acter, she would call Bix's frater-
nifty house, or the practice room
at the gym and try to stop him.
But, glancing at the clock, she
decided it was too late. Besides,
Evening star., 1948-03-21

She took one from an ugly tin
box on the table, box that had
been emotionally presented to
George by championship debat-
ing team that he had coached.
She offered the box to Blk. He
took cigarette and produced a
gold lighter. They smoked. Abby
felt a stab of cold panic. For a
moment, she decided to skip
everything. Then she thought of
Big George upstairs. She thought
of Little George. She thought of
Liz, who rode around possessively
in Bix's convertible.
Blk" she said, 'how about a
coke? Or a bottle of beer?"
He shook his head, black shoe
button eyes on Abby. Abby won
dered if, in her inexperience with
playing Candida, she had struck
the wrong note. For a conference
like this, you needed tea or some
thing laced with absinthe. Abby
leaned toward the something laced
with absinthe for herself.
Blk" she said, Il - there is
something l have to talk to you
about. l suppose you are too
young to realize that men are
particularly defensive about their
daughters. Maybe it is because
fathers know what they were like
when they were young. And it
makes them worry"
She paused. Blk stared at Abby,
his eyes narrowed.
"Sit down." she said gently.
Blk did not sit down. He stared
at Abby. IF MIR. Daley thinks
ever laid a finger on Liz - listen,
she's just a kid to me. Sure, I
put up with her and drive her
around in my car, but it isn't mad
love. Believe me-"
Abby looked down at her hands.
They were nice hands, young and
supple. She had read once that
policewomen knew the ages of
women by their hands. Abby
hoped hers lied a little. Blk, do
you do it to please me?"
She didn't look up when she
said that. 1t was, she felt, the right
note. Understanding and just a
little teasing. 1t would be good
for the boy to come out in the
open with his feelings and to
know that she wouldn't be
shocked. 1t would be good for him
to realize that his case wasn't
unique, that he wasn't the first
young boy to be attracted to an
older woman. Then she could tell

of the house, was ideal. Liz fire.
quently complained that having a
family cramped her style. Abby
reflected grimly that it was moth
ing to what a family managed to
do to LIS mother.
She carried two sandwiches and
the beer up to George, hunted for
his pipe, found his glasses, stole a
CORY mystery story from LIS
private don't-touch bookcase and
escaped before George could ask
her to stay and read to him. Then
she ran briskly down the stairs,
feeling quite young and consider
ably martyred.
She opened the living-room win
dows so it would be cool enough
for fire in the fireplace. She went
to the basement for two we'll
seasoned birch logs. She was just
lighting a match to newspapers
under them when the doorbell
buzzed. She ran to the kitchen.
Washing her hands, she heard the
front door open and close; Blk,
like all of the children's friends,
always buzzed and came right in.
She pulled off her apron. She put
cold hands to flaming cheeks.
Then she walked slowly into
the living room. Blk was bending
over the record player. Abby
smiled at his seersucker back;
most of the college boys wore un-
matched jackets and trousers, but
Blk was one of the few who insist
ed on the eastern uniform of wool
pants and seersucker jacket. She
waited for him to turn around.
He didn't. He said:
II just bought couple of new
records that will blow your head
off, Liz. Wait until you hear EN-"
Abby smiled to herself. Liz isn't
home. And her father is upstairs
with a bad ankle. l don't think we
should play records today"
Blk wheeled, a record in his
hand. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Daley.
But they only let me use the ma
chine in the record shop for a sec
ond and I have to study this stuff
to play Saturday night. Maybe I
could shut the doors and play it
soft?"
Abby sat down in her grand
mothers high-back rocker, wick
edly conscious that it made her
look tiny. Blk, we wouldn't dare.
How about a cigarette?"

Dangers Told OF
U~ndereooked Pork

Hogs often harbor small para
sites or worms known as trichi-
nae. The infested hogs them
selves apparently r perfectly
well, but eating their meat, IN
less thoroughly cooked, consti-
tutes a definite danger to human
health, according to Felix j.
Underwood, executive officer,
State Board of Health.
When infested pork or pork
products not sufficiently cooked
are eaten by people, the parasites
are set free in the digestive tract,
young worms, sometimes as many
where they produce numerous
as 1900 in one matching" These
young worms imbed themselves
in the muscles o fthe body and
cause a painful weakening disease
called trichinosis The symptoms
are so similar to those of other
diseases that it is often not quick
ly recognized
Sometimes it is thought to be
typhoid fever, muscular rheuma-
tism, angina pectoris Ia form of
heart disease,) pleurisy, "intesti-
nal flu" and even appendicitis.
Cases of the disease vary widely
in severity, depending on the
number of the parasites eaten and
the body resistance of the infest-
ed. Very severe cases may, and
sometimes do, result in death; on
the other hand, cases r often
so mild that they produce only
a persistent, achey feeling.
Prevention of trichinosis is, OF
necessity, largely n of indivi-
dual and personal responsibility.
1t is important to remember that
the disease is not confined to the
eating of pork and pork products
crown and prepared at home; all
pork products, such as sausage,
are unsafe without adequate
without cooking, regardless OF
whether or not they have been
manufactured under Federal
State or city meat inspection. No
test so far devised will definitely
show, except in cases OF very
sever infestation, whether or not
thrichinae are present in a sample
of pork products.
-
Cook all your pork until there
is no trace of pink showing-and
then, just to be on the safe side,
cook it a little bit longer. Long
slow, thorough cooking may save
you or someone in your family 9
long, slow and expensive case OF
sickness.

Mississippians Urged
To Eat Pecans,

Mississippians are being urged
by nutritional experts to take full
advantage of the drop in pecan
prices occasioned by this years
record yield. With most food
prices still soaring, pecans have
taken a downward tumble and
are now within range of the most
thrifty housewives purse.
Good cooks have long been
familiar with the transformation
a cup Of pecans can produce in
their most humble dishes. The
plainest tea cake become a deli
cacy with the addition of a few
rich nutmeats.
The value of pecans as a body
builder is less well known. Pecans
are an excellent meat substitute.
Two pounds of shelled pecans
have a protein content equal to
that Of a pound of sirloin steak.
Since the muscle building protein
element is the main contribution
sirloin steaks make to the diet
of those able to afford them the
high protein content in pecans
makes them such more than just
a tasty punishment.
A pound of shelled pecans and
q pound of sirloin steak provide
An almost identical supply of
minerals for the body. In addi-
ton. the pecans will furnish four
times as much as the steak; they
will exceed the steak in vitamin
content; and they will also pro-

vide a good supply of carbohy-
drates, energizing sugars, which
are absent in steak.
Pecans are easily digested,
whether eaten fresh or cooked in
cakes, candies, dressings, and
other tempting dishes. Missis-
sippi's bountiful harvest offers a
unique opportunity for enriching
the diet and enlivening the plate
of children and adults alike, at

"The Birds" which will 60 a fort
night at the university theater, is
a lavish production. This is true not
merely of its setting and costuming
but for its variety which includes
song and dance as well as drama. 1t
pairs up such opposites as burlesque
buffoons and the classic speaking
chorus, men and birds, and birds
and gods. It considers life on three
such diverse planes as the earth,
the upper air, and the heavens. In
fact, once started on this cosmic
mixture, it does not know quite
where to stop. In terms Of today's
Standardization this Is the weak
ness of ''The Birds" another defect
of which is that it Is not altogether
able to escape awareness OF its
uniqueness, or singularity.
Every one connected with the pro-
duction is so clearly having fun,
however, that only the most obtuse
spectator can escape a share in it..
This zestfulness which is always one
of the best elements of college pro-
ductions is positively fragrant in
"The Birds" Here, truly, is COM
edy that moves, all the way from
earth to heaven.
