Wise Boys Learn Impossible Sometimes Can Happen

in a touring production of Romeo
and Juliet and while Coghlan
hated to leave the island, he couldn' t
afford to turn the offer down. In one
season he'd earn enough to be able
to live comfortably the rest of his
life.
when his neighbors came down
to the boat to see him off, the actor
assured them that, come heaven or
high water, he'd return when his
tour was ended. And he did-but it
took both heaven and high water,
and in that order, to arrange it.
"Heapen got into The act shortly
after The tour starfed-in Galveston

"Some months after the disaster,
a fisherman on Prince Edward Is
land went down to the beach one
morning to inspect his nets, and
found coffin which had washed up
on the sands.
ION it was a brass plate with the
name Charles Coghlan'-the actor,
with an assist from the Gulf Stream,
had made good his promise to re-
turn"

SOmeOne?" Mrs. Whitney asked.
one?" Mrs. Whitney asked.
"Positive!" Paul affir m d.
"Ought we to notify the police?"
II wouldn't. Whoever it is Ii
gone, and perhaps the police
wouldn't believe us. We'd appear
ridiculous"
TWO evenings later Paul again
saw the peeping Tom. He was
standing in the same position, and
sight of the man at the window Of
their neighbours apartment gave
him the same unexpected shock.
"I'm going to do something about
it. Sooner or later the chap will
conjure enough courage to break
his way in" Paul said.
Lets go over there and warn
the people, tell them what we saw
and then let them do as they like
about it." She hesitated. "Perhaps
we can strike up an acquaintance"
THEY CROSSED to the neighbor-
ing apartment and knocked. A
pleasant-faced woman opened the
door.
"Are you Mrs. Phelps?" Mrs.
Whitney asked. The woman nodded
and Mrs. Whitney said: "We're Mr..
and Mrs. Whitney from across the
court. We"
Come right in! Frank and I
were thinking of calling on YOU"
The Whitneys entered and were
greeted cordially by Mr.. Phelps.
"1'm afraid" said Paul, that we
came on rather an unpleasant mis-
sion." And he explained what they
had seen.
MIR. Phelps looked puzzled.
There's something wrong here.
Would you mind stepping into
the living roOm?" They fol-
lowed him In and he pointed
toward the far wall. "You see
we have no windows on that
wall.
He broke off as Mrs. Whitney
gasped. why, it wasn't a window
at all! 1t was that mirror! You see,
it hangs where a window might be,
and faces our apartment. Paul
Whitney, it was your own reflection
you sawl Standing near the flower
pot, you saw yourself in the mirror,
and it appeared that some one else
was peering in at the Phelpses!"
Paups jaw dropped. He swal-
lowed, grinned and looked sheepish.
But the Phelpses thought it was
grand joke, and urged their new
neighbors to spend the evening.

To avoid letting furnished sill
verware pile up until there's %
much you have a big job to do,
keep piece of unbleached fan-
mel in jar with a little silver
polish near the sink. When you're
washing the dishes and an egg
stained fork or furnished piece Of
silver shows up, take few Sec
onds to polish it clean right there
and then, and you may postpone
a bigger job indefinitely.
To eliminate the odor from q
kitchen knife that's been used to
cut up onions, hold the blade over
the flame of a match. Don't hold
it too long, though, and don't hold
it over gas flame because pro-
longed intense heat will spoil the
temper of the blade.
Egg heaters, like any other
gadgets with movable parts, need
lubricating. Salad oil will do the
trick, but it may corrode tho
metal in time. Mineral oil is the
best bet because it, like salad oil,
will not ruin food if it drops into
it; and, unlike salad oil, it's nom
corrosive.

mo, it wasn't the prayer that

to his wife.
Mrs. Whitney sighed. IT would,
too. We've been here a month now
and haven't met soul. Do you sup
pose I ought to 60 over and call?"
Paul shook his head doubtfully.
II wouldn't-not without some good
excuse. You know how apartment

the court. "They have much bet

"Better?"

notice, there are windows on both
Sides"
Mrs. Whitney followed her
husbands gaze. Without effort
she could look into their neigh
bors' living room and see the
window on the wall opposite.
"That's so," she admitted
Mrs. Whitney went into the kitch-
en- and Paul rose and strolled idly
toward the window Of his own liv-
ing room. On the chance of being
observed, he pretended to examine
potted plant on the sill.
Surreptitiously he glanced across
the court, and was shocked to see
the head and shoulders of a man
framed in the window on the far
side of their neighbors' living room.
He called his wife, and, standing
well back so as not to be observed,
they peered across the court. But
the figure in the window on the far
side had vanished.

more than 10 state and screen OPP
erettas and musicals. His most pop
ular include "Maytime." Student
lywood movie treatment Of his
career while he is still around to
see it?"
Romberg will be able to see it
as soon as Hollywood finishes the
movie is now making.
SIG U ND ROMBERG really
might have built some beautiful
bridges if his parents had their
way and he had become a construc-
ton engineer. But instead, he has
turned out more than 70 stage and
screen operettas and musicals,
among them standards like MAY
time" Student Prince" and the
desert Song" one or the other of
which is still touring somewhere
at almost any time. He has writ
ten magnificent total of 1000 songs
like Lover, Come Back to Me-"
And he isn't finished yet!
'There is lots more music to be
written-lots of it in me-and I am
writing it," he explains.
Right now, he is composing an
other musical which he expects to
have on Broadway this winter.
Some composers compose their
songs on piano, some in their
head. Romberg composes most Of
his music on a Hammond organ, so
that he can get the effect Of the
entire orchestra as he tests a mel
ody on the Hammond. He used to
do it on a pipe organ, sitting in SOL
itary majesty before the gigantic
instrument. When the Hammond
organ was invented, he got one Of
the first made. Since then he has
been using it to turn out the kind
Of music that fits in with Ameri-
cas- heart beat.
1T WAS IN VIENNA that he got
his first formal music education.
Finishing his schooling in Vienna,
he had to serve his term in the
army. When that was finished, the
crisis came. His father, though
very musical himself, was deter
mined his son was going to be an
engineer and build bridges. The
peace maker in the dispute that
arose was his mother who sug-
gested that he spend a year in
America before making a decision.
America had a lot of fine bridges,
she figured, and maybe he son
would learn to love bridges over
rivers more than musical bridges.
It didn't work. Romberg came to
the United States, went to work
packing pencils in pencil factory
for a brief period and then got a
job as a pianist in a restaurant
he had stopped at to satisfy his
craving for Hungarian goulash.
That was the beginning.
The next steps in his career came
in rapid succession. He organized
his own orchestra, played at a
fashionable New York restaurant
and began composing in earnest.
He never got around to thinking
of the bridges again. Let the high
brows build the bridges, he decided.
Instead, he wrote enough music to
make him probably the most pro-
life Of the big-time composers in
the theater.

THE PHILIPPINES

! It is beginning to look as though the United States will have to send General Douglas MacArthur back to the Philippines. And while he is about that business, he might just as well take over the island of Formosa letting Chiang Kali Shek operate under American con- trol.
 For what is day by day becoming clearer is that Soviet Russia has launched an effective movement for the conquest of the Philippines and that the big push is now start ing, to culminate in the establish ment of a Communist state there, completely under Russian manage ment, in about six months, That is not merely an invasion of a free, small country This is an attack on the United States.
 The Huks, who are being de- scrihed in the United States as a peoples movement in uprising against a corrupt government, are nothing of the sort They are
