on the other hand, never found

Some dishes, those
Cishes! After IS years
they're going strong

TIVE hardest of perennials in
Il show business are the fragile
looking Gish Sisters Lillian
and Dorothy. They had their
first Towering in the days of the
nickelodeon and the two-reeler,
of Hearts and Flowers and the
Biograph Girl who became Mary
Pickford.
They survived without injury
being transplanted from the tiny
Biograph studio on l4th Street
in New York City to the wide
open spaces of California. They
withstood the shock of transition
from silent films to sound. And
they still refuse to fade into
memory - they insist on being
timeless and contemporary.
Lillian Gish currently is eying
television, where she made not
able debut in a tribute to D. w.
Griffith, her idol. Dorothy is
appearing in the De Rochemont
film, Whistle at Eaton Falls"
And today, IS years after
''Birth of a Nation" Lillian
Cish is still beautiful - and
wistful. She can still tear at
your heartstrings. And she has
never been sick day in her life.
Dorothy - the laughing sister
is the one who had to be oper-
ated on for ulcers.
Lillian was always serene in
her beauty, Dorothy insecure.

Discovery

ONLY recently Dorothy re-
marked with pleased surprise:
do you know, / think Lillian is
beginning to discover humor."
1t is still Lillian, however,
who commands the attention.
1t is the habit nowadays to
snicker at the heroines of IS
years ago - f1uttery creatures
who smiled through tears and
wore their hats dead center to
establish their innocence. Clam
our in the early cinema days was
synonymous with sin. But no
body laughs at Lillian even to-
day - and she the archetype of
all the sad, mistreated heroines.
Hers is a delicate beauty and
a talent that is proof against
changes in fashion and styles of
acting. Nobody is going to write
a Sunset Boulevard" around
this great lady of the silent
screen. - 0ilIS RERE

Ipartment has no thought Of allo-

The committee also was told
that an increase in productive

immediate future. Because of food
demands of this nations increaS-
ling population, an additional 100,-
900 tons production will be needed
leach following year.
As a means of conserving phos-
Iphates in light Of the present sui
fur shortage, the committee sug-
Igested that regional meetings Of
State agricultural officials, State
experiment stations. State and
Federal fertilizer specialists, and
the industry be encouraged, in
order to consider possible changes
in fertilizer formulas to stretch

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-The
Country Gentleman magazine to-
day reports a new spray-maleic
Observation-Disclosures potatoes. onions
and several other vegetables fresh
for a year or more.
1t says Armed Forces officials
believe the spray may make it
possible to ship fresh vegetables
throughout the world with a great
spoilage reduction.
The Country Gentleman report
covers only part Of this spray
work, which has been under test
all over the country. Today's re-
port is on Michigan State Col
lege's work with potatoes, onions,
carrots, garden beets, sugar beets,
|parsnips, turnips and rutabagas.
w. H. Wittwer OF Michigan
State is quoted as saying the ex-
periments were successful and I'VE
could hardly believe them pos
|sible." The crops are sprayed be-
fore gathering. The spray does
not affect the yield.
The spray arrests growth.
Growth is slow after spraying.
Vegetables even fail to die as fast
as usual during storage. Every
process seems slowed down.
Flavor and f1rmness are retained
for a long time. apparently for
about year. The Michigan tests
are not complete. but no bad eff
fects are reported.
The experimenters also tried to
produce lawns that never have to
be moved, hedges that need not
be cripped and Strawberries that
don't flower until after frost.

she has climbed that ladder to

This young, friendly singer has
a warm personality and a gem
uine desire to reach every MEM
Der of her audience. Her roper
toire shows her determination to
make music literally the univer-
sal language. For those in the

who prefer Tschaikowsky, she'll
sing the always-beautiful None

down the list of composers, it is
a pleasure to see what variety she
has achieved in the planning of
her evening here. Such names as
Bizet, Puccini, Chopin, List, and
the ever-popular jerome Kern
