Maybe, like the writer, you've
sometimes wondered why those lit-
tle statuettes the Academy of Mo-
tion Picture Arts and Sciences
awards to film stars for outstanding
performances should be called
"Oscars," Here's the explanation
given by Jean Hersholt,current
president of the Academy, and him-
self a noted actor.
According to Jean, when the first
statuette was placed on. his desk
his secretary remarked, "Why, that
looks exactly like my Uncle Oscar."
A reporter who was present over-
head the remark, and wrote 5 story
about the "Oscar." And that's how
it all started)—or anyway, that's
how it carne to rne.

'Two or three times in these
columns I've mentioned the grow-
ing tide of resentment—both on the
part of legitimate radio performers
and that of a large section of the
listening public—against the host of
"give-away" programs that are clut-
tering up the air -waves to such a
great extent. Well, it won't be
long now before their fate is de-
cided—south of the border at least
—as the Federal Communications
Commission down there haw given
the interested parties only until
September 10th to show reasons
why such programs shouldn't he
abolished, or at least have their
wings closely clipped.
The proposed rules will do away
with any programs where the win-
ner has to send in money or buy
any of the sponsor's products; write
a letter or hold a phone conversa-
tion that isn't broadcast; be given
hints as to the correct answer; or
even be required to listen to the
broadcast, Which would pretty
nearly write "Finis" to the whole
give-away business.
* * *
Of course those rules are merely
proposed, not actually passed. What
happens to them will largely de-
pend on how big a fight the radio
networks and sponsors put up in
defense f their pet
sets, How-
ever, don't be surprised if it isn't
much of a battle; for there are
plenty of signs indicating that the
"top brass" in the radio business
is heartily sick of the whole thing,
and would be glad of a plausible
excuse for ditching it,
For there are those who remem-
ber the ill-fated experiment of the
motion picture industry along simi-

Thirties. To attract customers the
movie theaters gave away merchan-
dise by means of what were called
"bank nights"—and before long
the public was showing so ntgch
interest in the chinaware that it
paid scant attention to what was
being shown on the screen. More
and more the movie houses were
being turned .into general stores,
until Hollywood became' so alarmed

Most folks who attend—or even
read about—the' movies have heard
of Louella Parsons, famous Holly-
wood columnist and gossip writer,
who makes it her business to tell
her public everything connected
with screen stars the minute it
happens, or even before. Rumors
of impending separations or di-
vorces are especially welcome grist
for Miss Parsons' mill.
So perhaps you'll be interested in
a little tale regarding Louella and
the Frederic Marches. This fine
screen star and his wife—profes-
sionally Florence Eldridge —'have
been happily married for more than
twenty years. They were celebrat-
ing their fifteenth anniversary in
New York, with their two children,
when a telegram arrived. It read
"Understand you and Freddie are
splitting up; please confirm." And
it was signed, "Louella Parsons."
As soon as she had read the wire
Iifrs. March burst into shrieks of
laughter. When her children asked
the reason, she explained. "It's only
Louella's annual telegram. She has
probably been going through her
files, corse across our card and
found a reminder reading, "Marches
—still married—better investigate
this!"

THIS WEEK we show the auto-
graph o: Georg: Arliss, a brilliant -
actor and web known for his vivid
portrayal of the
Duke of Welling-
ton, Disraeli, and
many other not-
able figures.
One would never
guess that the
first 'part of the
signature is meant
to be George, and
this is revealing
of the showmanship of his person-
ality. The large loop reaching over
to almost touch the letter "A" in
Arliss is an excellent example of
enthusiasm and those who have seen
Mr. Arliss in action will agree that
he acted with enthusiasm and con-
viction. The large up and down
strokes following the loop are
`narked signs of generosity, reveal-
ing a nature that gives in good
measure far beyond that which is
expected. The word Arliss is clear
and sharp, a good sign of quick
thinking ability and retentive powers
essential to an actor.
The word George and Arliss are
bound together with a continuous
'line, indicative of a constructive
nature.
Showmanship is the dominat fea-
ture as shown by the many decora-
tive strokes over and under the
writing.
For a brief analysis of your char-
acter send a sample of handwriting,
with a stamped, self-addressed enve-
lope, -to Alex S. Arnott, 123 -18th,

When scum is removed from the

wasted, A vegetable brush, kept
for this purpose, is much snore
effective than a skimmer, Brush
over the top of the jelly when
boiling is complete. The scuts will
adhere to the brush and is easily
rinsed off under the hot water
faucet.

Aquila and Priscilla
Acts 18:1-3, 18a, 18, 24-28; Romans
16:3-5a; I Cor. 16:19; 2 Tim. 4:19.
Golden Text: Be not forgetful to
entertain strangers.—Hebrews 18:2.
In times like these it is refreshing
to read of a couple who loved each
other and also loved the Lord.
Aquila and Priscilla were Jews, who
had gone to live in` Rome. Forced
to flee, they settled in Corinth.
When Paul cane to the city they
graciously received him into their
house, and practised the art of
Christian hospitality. For a year
and a half Paul lived with them,
aiding in making tents, thus sup-
porting himself while he preached
the Gospel
They travelled with Paul to
Ephesus; remaining there while he
went unto Jerusalem. Apollos came
preaching of John's baptism and
again this man and wife opened
their doors to a servant of God.
They taught hint the way of God
more perfectly- so that he went out
preaching that Jesus is the Christ.
When Paul writes his first letter to
the Corinthians from Ephesus he
sends greetings from Aquila and
Priscilla, "with the church that is
in their house." Apparently their
home was a meeting place for the
Just For Fun
For the first time in twenty
years Jones spent his vacation at
a mountain resort. The first three
days he just sat around the
hotel; but on the fourth his
wife persuaded hits to go for a
hike in the woods.
He was back within an 'tour,
his face and arms bleeding from
a dozen scratches and abrasions
andhis new sports clothes in
rags and tatters. "A big snake
chased me," he explained, still
terrified.
"But any dear," protested Mrs.
Jbnes, "none of the snakes
around here are poisonous.
"So what?" snapped Jones
indignantly. "So long as they
can make me jump off a fifty-
foot cliff, they dont have to bel"
Christians. Soon after they returned
in Rome and Paul in his letter
refers to them as, "my helpers in
Christ Jesus: who have for my life
laid down their own necks.'` No
details are given but the sacrificial
manner of their service is indi-
cated. Paul's reference to them in
his last letter suggests that they
had returned to Ephesus.
