Boats were rowed from wing to wing in real water, Such touches had little to do with real acting; but they drew real money. Not to be outdone, we in New York had real fire engines in a play called The Still Alarm; also motor cars and race horses, I myself was the victim of the mania for realism, when my manager insisted on introduc- ing a real fountain with real water into the balcony scene of Ttomeo and Juliet, What Bulwer Lytton describes as the "mur- mur of low fountains which gush forth ' the midst of roses," it was declared, would enhance the beauty of those tender con- fessions indulged in by Verona's lovers, The hateful fountain behaved well enough at rehearsal. But overcome by stage fright or mis- directed ambition, it contribu- ted such spasmodic gurglings when poor Juliet began to breathe to the moon her adora- tion for Romeo that no one but a capable plumber could have controlled its utterances, "Romeo! Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Phit! ?hit! Gurgle! Squirt! went the water, "How silver sweet sound lov- ers' tongues by night." Tiddle! Babble! Phit! went the fountain. "Like sweetest music to at- tending ears." Squirt! Gluk-k-k! Fuddle! gushed the .. , water. With a final effort to mono- polize the attention of the audi- ence, the hose which supplied the water became detached just as wretched Juliet cried: 'Part- ing is such sweet sorrow!" Phit! Fon /Tinges High eget Cels 1?ors Roasting Time KY DOROTHY MADDOX There's something new in chicken and turkey roasting. At the recent Newspaper Food Editors Conference In New York we learned how it's done -- quick, and with highheat. Eleanor M, Lynch of Reynolds Metal Company explained that the revolutionary high-speed method cuts the roasting time ap- proximately in half, Here's how you do it: Instead of the usual low temperature Of 300 degrees F., use a very high temperature, 450 degrees F. Instead of stuffing the turkey, bake the stuffing separately. Wrap the turkey completely in aluminum foil 'during all but the last 30 minutes of the roasting time. With chickens and small Beltsville -type turkeys, the saving in time is great, too. A 3112 to 41/2 pound eviscerated, broiler- 1ryer type chicken may be roasted in one hour and 45 minutes as against 21/2 to 3 hours by the low-temperature method. A 6 - pound eviscerated Beltsville -type turkey can be roasted in 2112 hours as against 3% hours by the low-temperature method. Reports from housewives state that these chickens and tur- keys rate high in flavor and moistness. And sincethe juice can't evaporate, you have all the makings for wonderful gravy right at hand. (Directions for Foil Roasting Prepare chicken or turkey for roasting, as usual, Truss: Wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Overlap the foil over breast of turkey; fold top foil down at neck and drumstick ends, Bring underneath foil up, letting it extend 2 10 3 inches upward.

It made no difference in roasting times. Whee-k went the water and squirted over the whole stage as the curtain went down. "Never again!" said I. Since that misadventure man- agers tried to induce me to en- cumber my performance with realism, especially Mr. Belasco, who wanted me to play under his management in As You Like It. "We will have real deer," said he, "and real foliage dipping into a real stream." "No," said I, "I'11 stick to real acting, thank you." -- From "Julia Marlowe's Story," by E. H, Sothern.

O O * Ata feed cost of 18 cents per pound of gain, Purdue put 2.3 - pound daily gains On 670 -pound ,steers, using high-quality corn silage, 3.5 pounds of Purdue Supplement .A, and minerals. But another lot on the 161 -day amp trial did it for only 16 cents feed cost, by cutting the supple- ment to 2 pounds and adding 11/2 pounds of shelled corn, M. T. Mohler figured the corn silage at $11 per ton, Supple- ment A at $80 per ton, and corn at $1.50 per bushel. * a * In another test, grass silage with corn end cob meal preser- vative pumped on nearly 21/2 pounds daily gain, when fed with 7 pounds of shelled corn. * * * But don't expect much from grass silage without preserva- tive unless you feed supplement. Shorthorn steers weighing 480 pounds gained nothing for 70 days when W. M. Beeson fed straight grass silage and min- erals. * * * Yet the same steers put on 1.6 pounds gain per day during the following two months, alter he added 1 pound of shelled corn and 1 pound of soybean meal to the full feed of grass silage that had been made without preservative. And the cost per pound Of gain -only 15 cents. * * * Why the extra kick from soy- bean meal when grass silage is already rick in protein? Says Beeson: "There's something else besides protein in soybean meal that is responsible for the addi- tional gains." w= * * If dry weather has made a serious dent in your orchard yields, maybe you should try mulching. * * * After four years of experi- mental work on ways and means of saving soil moisture for fruit trees, Roy Simons, University of Illinois scientist, recommends these steps: 4, * * 1.

They it Live South of the order A new campaign is under way. It is launched with the slogan "Keep America Beautiful" and paradoxically, it is initiated by American industrialists who, as every reader of the Daily Work- er should know, should only be interested in beautiful dollars. The campaign is designed to get Americans to mend their untidy ways. Felicitously, the drive is headed by William C. Stolk, president of the American Can Company, He calls the litter habit "a national disgrace" and says when he walks around New Yprk streets on Sunday it makes him ashamed. Perhaps the sight of all those empty cans in the wrong places does to Mr. Stolk what it does to every other person of decent instincts, Certainly othere is nothing so calculated to make a householder blow his top than to find the remnants of a midnight snack on his front lawn, tossed there by motorists with porcine instincts. If these are accom- panied by a few paper con- tainers, a few empty beer cans ox an empty bottle, the house- holder can hardly be blamed if he does not express a silent hope that they all had a good time the night before. But these outward breaches of manners are nothing coo - pared with the state of mind they indicate. When people can carelessly litter beach, highway, or private lawns, they are indi- cating a completely unsocial point of view. There are few things more distressing than to see a group of people at a pub- lic park or beach spreading their wake of discarded news- papers, watermelon rinds and empty cans behind them. If the drive to "Keep America Beauti- ful" will drive these creatures`- undercover or get them to mend their ways, it will be a distinct step forward. One of the early objectives of the group is to train motorists to carry a "litter bag" in the car with them. We are not unduly hopeful. People who are so ob- livious of the rights of others are not likely to respond to any- thing less than swift sure pun- ishment for littering. That's what they should get. - Hart- ford Courant. SALES PSYCHOLOGY According to Paul Toal, psy- chology determines the sale. He knows a cigar owner who was worried because a competitor was packing crowds to his win- dow by hiring a stunning Span- ish girl to roll cigars. Alter a sleepless night the man had an idea. Next day a blonde was rolling cigars in his window. But her back was to the street. And now the crowd was inside his store. The Gro . -:t ear On The Horizon The windmill at the top of the hill was big and protective to the boy as darkness came and the autumn wind increased. He, pressed his back close to ' the weather worn shingles but he lead no thought of the sharp wind; his mind was on the heavy black clouds in the west. They had covered the sun be- fore It had reached the horizon and darkness had begun, but the north was clear and a blue afterglow domed the sky. It was just as the old whaler said it would be: "It will be a good night for thee to see the North Star; darkness will be early, there'll be heavy clouds in the west, but the north will be clear; perhaps before six the Pole Star will be in sight." Walter had asked the old ship -master how the whaleships found their way over the ocean and for the first time he heard of the Big Dipper and the North Star. "Look to the north," said the oldhaler, "and w a d down low thea Il sea the hipper; four stars make the bowl and three stars make the handle ---a little bent, Now remember. The two stars opposite the handle are called 'the pointers'; follow a line through those 'pointers' up and up, and thee'll see the North Star -not very bright -rather pale -but there it is, and re- member, boy, it's always there, and if thee is able to fix one sure point in the heavens, thee can nearly End out exactly where thee is on the big ocean; that is, if thee has a quadrant" As Walter waited for the darkness to increase, his mind galloped and bits of knowledge that he had picked up began to fall into intensely interesting relations. All the maps and charts had lines that went round the earth and up and down from pole to pole. If the whaler could see the North Star and knew how to use a quadrant, he could locate himself on those lines of the chart. A quadrant! That's what he must get. When he had asked the cap- tain how he could get one, the old whaler hesitated; he waited and looked out over the harbor and then up into the rattling rigging of the big ship, Then he said: "There's a lot to say, Walter, about finding where you are on the sea. . "It takes time be study navi- gation, but we can do it -and we will. Some day we will go up on the 'walk' of my house, and I'll take my quadrant and we'll make a real observa- tion. . • ." Much of the afterglow in the north had now passed. Thou- sands of twinkling lights ap- peared in the darkening dome. They flashed new meaning to the boy's mind; those tiny lights were useful, there was some connection between this earth on which he lived and this great mysterious blackening dome that overshadowed him, Turning his attention to the low north, he gazed at the area just above the horizon. , Then below, closer to the Kori- . zon, he saw the Big Dipper, Its seven stars gleamed brightly and the two stars, the pointers, formed the side of the Dipper opposite the handle, while above them was the pale star which he was sure was the Pole Star. Satisfaction in achievement was followed by wonder . . s He had met the universe. - From "The Clock That Talks and What It Tells„' by Will Gardner. MY SCHOOL LESSON tiev. K. it Warren, 6.A„ 1'1.D. God's Abundance for Man's Need. Psalm 1041 1.5, 10-14 24, 33. Memory Selections Tito earth. is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. Psalm 2441, Today we enter upon a study of a few of the psalms. The one for today graphically describes the care of God over all his works, As we read we are ire» pressed with the majesty end wisdom and power of God, One has said. "Like stately pullers supporting a solemn tens: e, three noble psalms, placed sets) by side, exalt the elory of jv:lo- vah: 103 glorifies the God of grace; 104 the God of naLwe; 106 the God of history. Each springs from a strong pedestal of adoration and is . crowned with a rich capital of praise. - The person who is not thrilled when viewing some of the geeat sights of nature is poor insn..;d, Here are some of the sce. as which have led me to a Ere .21 appreciation of the. God who ,tas clothed the world in beauty and given man the capacity to en- joy it: the changing colour of tee sky as the sun goes clown on the ochee side of the lake at my l,:y- hood home; the Laurentian Highlands in October when the leaves are at their best; the un-• ceasing mass of water breaking over the precipice at Niag_u•a Falls; Lake Louise nestled in the Rockies. These and many others in everyday life are fascinating be- cause they remind us of the great and mighty God. We join with the Psalmist when he says, "I will sing- unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being," And God has made provision for all his creatures. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without his notice. This great God invites our love and service. He gave His son for us, Shall we not give ourselves to Him? TUEY SAVE MONEY ON COSMETICS Face powder manufacturers in France have found the rea- son for a 30 per cent drop in sales: thrifty housewives are using oatmeal. In rural districts the meal is applied with a powder puff and dusted off with a handkerchief. Results are said to be good for the skin and look just as natural as customary face -powders. The cosmetic makers are not taking the situation lightly. They remember that oatmeal was used as an external as well as an internal beautifier by Scots girls until about 1900.
