in Rochester last week, staying
with a friend whose hobby of
making pottery later became a
means of livelihood. Her house
is like a museum, I was told —
plates, dishes, cups and saucers,
all of the most beautiful hand-
made pottery. Now, due to ill -
health, her working days are
over, but, since she has been an
expert in ceramics for so long,
her beautiful work is eagerly

is talked into selling one of her
rare pieces, with -a special type

the secret of which is known

Snooping On Flies
The living habits of disease -
carrying flies are being charted
in Britain with the help of radio-
active shots. in the experimental
laboratory of the Department of
Scientific and Industrial Research
types of flies that spoil food and
cause intestinal trouble are bred
by the hundreds of thousands.
When ft111-grown, they are giv-
en radio -active shoo and re-
leased. Neighborhood butcher
shops, hospitals, schools and fisb-
mong'rs have meanwhile bean
baited with liver and traps
After a few days the traps are
collected, the tiles gassed and re-
turned to the laboratory. Geiger
counters detect those of the ori-
ginal batch, so that it can be
determined whether and when
the flies flew. One fact already
established is that blow -flies
move over a populous area at a
minimum rate of a mile a day,
stopping at food establishments,
shops, hospitals, scltonls and

Kept Camera Turning
Twenty -Five Years
When Suekitighatn Palace
needed a small boy at the Cor-
onation festivitles'of King George
V to light the official -match to
set off the fireworks, the choice
fell on the then Prime Minis-„
ter's youngest eon, a bird -bright
child named Anthony Asquith.
Today, this tame Anthony As-
quith Is practically the ,0n1y
movie -maker in Britain who has
battled all the way from fiickery
silents to the TV" age. Ansi it's
appropriate that the first full-
scale British movie to be made
in the new Elizabethan reign
was his star-studded Technicolor
Production of Oscar Wilde's "The
Importance' a.Being Earnest:'!
You con count on 'one hand the
movie directors who have work-
ed out a quarter-century in the
studios , . and survived. Cecil
B. de Mille, Alfred Hitchcock
and then who? Anthony Asquith •
enters these distinguished ranks
fresh with the laurels he gained
by making "The Browning Ver-
sion." And` the movies steadily
revive spchformer triumphs of
his aa ' Pygntat.ipn,'I "The Win-
slow Boy,' "Fanny by Gaslight,"
and "French Without Tears."
An,.eminent cnitil once listed
Britain's six best movie directors
and accidentally omitted Asquith. -
Then his "The Woman in Ques-
tion" hit the screen, Jean Kent
starred as -a woman seen through
the eyes of different people, . a
demonstration of Asquith's ,vir-
tuosity in getting six different
performances out of one acteess,
In handsome apology, the critic
reprinted his list with Asquith's
name first!
Irl: the studios, Asquith wears a
tough -looking boiler suit, but
works amid polite efficiency.
With puckish charm, he allays
bursts of Artistic •. temperament;
Most directors ;yell the tradi-
tion: "Cameral'"3'ioll 'end" As-
quith merely calls, • "I'm ready
when yom are!" Old friends are
apt to appear.again and
again
in his pictures 'Mn.`Asgiiith al-
ways tries to find a part for me,"
says a veteran actresss;He's had

Asquith was ' once hauled into
Court for speeding, but weld
not leave before he bad paid the
fine in the case ahead of hint,,
a poor man charged with not
having a dog licence. Such ges-
tures have endeared him to the
film industry.
No other movie -maker ever
started with the strange initial
disadvantage of having a father
— the famous "wait and see"
Asquith — who had been eight
years Prime Minister, Brought
up as the youngest child in • a
household that blended states-
manship and scholarship. Lady
Oxford and Asquith considered
discipline for 'young Anthony
unwise. Politicians sometimes
looked up from their anxious
deliberations to gaze in horror
at a small boy swinging reck-
lessly from the plane tree out-
side the window, apparently
about to break his neck.
At the, age of sbc "little Put -
fin" danced a Spanish dance with
great verve before assembled

ship to Oxford, he had rarefy

nated him so much that he al-
most °forgot his exams,

Asqui
soon found that anyone train-
ing in pictures earl to be highly
adaptable. When a double was
needed "for the star in a picture
about .Boadicea, he donned e
shaggy blonde wig and skirts,
stepped imperiously into a char-
iot and careered madly acres*
Salisbury Plain!
Ultimately, he directed some
of the earliest English films that
gained world intention. Once he
even wrote a script with Win-
ston Churchill for a 'ISot'da film -
life of King George V. In fact,
Anthony Asquith has made more
