WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1935, HEAT PHOTOGRAPHS FIND HEART TROUBLE New Method Found to De tect Early Complications And Make Remedy BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. — P — Heat photographs of human beings, taken in absolute darkpess to dis cover early heart disease, were shown Tuesday at the scientific exhibition of the American Medical association. The photos have saved lives by catching the onset of congestive heart failure before it could be de tected in any other manner, and early enough to prevent a serious attack. 1‘ This new technique was exhibit ed by Albert S. Hyman, of the Wit-| kin Foundation, New York. It was devloped about a year ago as a re sult of the Eastman Kodak com pany making film 8o sensitive to infra-red rays that flatirons took their own pictures by their heat in complete darkness. : These pictures are ordinary pho tographs, but they do not show an ordinary ‘person., They show the person as he would look if the eye could see a gaurter of an inch be low the skin, To the infra-red rays the human body is transparent to such depths, and these photos show the blood vessels mnear the surface, It is somewhat like looking at a skelton of veins instead of bones. ‘The veins reveal any congestion earlier than it can be detected by any medical diagnosis known. The congestion discloses oncoming heart attacks. . The infra-red photos alsoc show something of interest to millions of bald men. They reveal the exist ence of hair underneath the scalp when all outward signs have van inshed. Some bald scalpe have short stubby bristles visible under; the surface. Others are as completely hald beneath the kin as above it, What this means to bald men, however, is not known. Getting these pictures was an accident while looking for more serious ills. 830 Postmasters . . Given Salary Hike . For Good Business WASHHINGTON. — (&) — The Postoffice department has elevated to classification of 830 postmasters, giving them a, increased salary as the result of what it said was im proved husiness conditions. The postmastership are rated each year by classes according to the amount of business done by each office. Eighty-five post offices were boosted from second to first class —the latter paying from §53,200 to SIO,OOO, depending on the volume of business. The order elevated 271 from third to second-class and 474 from fourth to thitd. Second-class offi ces pay from $2,400 to $3,000 and third-class from $l,lOO to $2,300. Fourthelass postmasters are paid a percentage of the value of the stamps they gell and cancel. The department said the new ratings were made before the Tre cent chain letter flurry and were based solely on improved economic conditions., Changes in class resulting from the annual readjustment of post masters’ salaries effective July 1, 1935, include the following: Second clags to first class: Brunswick, Ga., Griffin, Ga. La- Grange, Ga., Wayeross, Ga. Third elass to second class: Blakely, Ga., Camilla, Ga. Com merce, Ga. FEatonton, Ga. Emory University, Ga. Jesup, Ga.

Happiness Ranks Above Fame, Money, With Coming Film Star Girl Blessed With Many Talents Is Gertrude Michael (This is the las¢ of a serieg of six stories by Dan Thomas, on girls who are outstanding prospects to achieve stardom in Hollywood). By DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staii Correspondent HOLLYWOOD.—BIond Gertrude Michael, whose two years in Hol lywood have given her just enough training that she now is in a po sition to actually go places, is a totally different girl off the screen than she is on, In the celluloid reels she usually can be found doing dirt to“some one. Remember her in “The No torious Sophie Lang” “Menace” and more recently “Four Hours to o Well, that wasn’t the real Ger trude. Actually she wouldn’t harm a ladybug. Why, a couple of weeks ago, when her dachshund got the worst of things in a fight, she spent the entire afternoon erying for fear he wouldn't’ re cover. i And when I dropped by her home, she was poking around in the goldfish pond in an effort to find out how a sick fish was get ting along. ! Although she has a mother and two brethers in Hollywood, Ger trude lives by herself ip an at tractive seven-room house in the Toluca J.ake district. One servant takes care of the place.

But 1 have found it best to live alone so I can regulate my own life.” With what appeared to be a single motion, the girt brushed her blond tressses back from her face and pulled her pajama-clad legs under her. Pajamas are her fav orite attire whenever she's around home. And even when she isn’t home, she occasionally likes to dress for comfort, mot looks. “Wouldn't it be awful to be come so well known that you couldn’t go anywhere without al ways having someone comment on vour clothes ar your actions?” che asked. \ Several Stores to 1 Close Tomorrow to - . i Give Half-Holiday | R s, e | Many Athens stores begin giving!

But off the screen she’s just the informal, fun -loving girl shown in athletic garb at the left, . Happiness Is First That thought frightens her. But at the same time she wants suec cess, wants to feel she really is accomplishing something. It’s the only way to be happy, she be lieves. To her, happiness is the biggest thing in life. Fame? Money.? They mean nothing, unless happiness can go hand in hand with them. Perhaps her accomplishments won’t always be in the movie world. Maybe they'll be as a mu sician. She already is an expert pianist and violinist. In fact, she’s scheduled to give a concert in the Hollywood Bowl this summer. Again, her supreme achieve ment might be as ‘a’ scheduled, home-loving mother. She’s crazy about children. Her light green ish-gray eyes, the lightest 1 ever have seen, fairly shine every time she talks about them. A Good Wife in Future It's a pretty safe bet that som’ day Gertrude will turn her entire attention to being a wife and a mother. She admits she doesn't know when that will be. Maybe a year, maybe 10 ‘years. At the mo ment she and Rouben Mamoulian, Russian director, are quite inter ested in each other. «“But we haven't even thought of marriage — and maybe we won’t,” she says. “The kind of love on which marriage should be baseq isn’t the Kkind you can go ' Over 400 Candidates . For Military School To Be Examined ATLANTA — (# — Over four hundred candidates for appointment to the United States Military aca demy at’ West Point are expected to be examined at Fort McPherson, Ga., on the 12th, 13th and 14th of this month. The present authorized strength of the academy is 1,374. A il Isigned by President Roosevelt last week increases the enrollment to a maximum of 1,959. The increase will result in bringing the strength of the army up to 14,000 officers within the next eight years. At present 38.6 per cent of the regular officers are graduates of the mili tary academy. The increase at the academy will| be obtained by allowing each sena tor and congressman an additional appoint;nent. At present each senator and congressman 'is auth orized to have two cadets in the corp at one time. Those examined at Fort MsPher son will include one principal and two alternates. Al will take the examination at the same lime. Sanford to Take Over Duties of Chancellor Of System on July 1 ATLANTA — (#) — Dr. 8. V. Sanford,» veteran University of Georgia educator, is to assume the dual role of chancellor of the Uni wvorsity System and president of the University at Athens on July 1, it ‘was dnnounced at the offices of the board of regents Tuesday. \ Dr. Sanford was named successor to Chaneellor Philip Weltner, who has resigned a few weeks ago and Dean Harmon Caldwell of the Georgia law school was electe THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA looking for. llt's the kind which has to come up and slap you in the face.” & Whenever she has a chance, ihe actress becomes quite an outdoor girl, " She's a strong swimmer rides very well, plays a fair game of golf or tennis, and swings a meayn pingpong racket. _ Best of all she likes to take long walks with her dog. That is a daily event, regardless of the weather or how busy she may be. She’s Real, All Through Her indoor diversions includes the theater, especially concerts, and playing the piano or violin herself. She also reads a good bit, mostly current novels. No matter what she's doing, however, Gertrude attacks it with the same whole-heartedness. That goes equally for work or play. But the harder you try, the more difficult it becomes to reconcile the working Gertrude with the one you find at home. On the screen, there’s a certain brittleness about her which van ishes when you see her in the flesh. By that I don’t mean that she is the type of girl ordinarily termed a goody-goody. On the contrary, she is very regular. She smokes, drinks occasional ly, and even swears now and then. But she's real. Not a speck of artificiality about her. THE END. Celquitt County Will Hage UnofficiZl Vote On Beer Issue July 5 MOULTRIE, Ga. — (®) — Voters of Colquitt county will pass on thei beer question unofficially at the‘ same time t‘hey vote here July § toi name a successor to the late J. P. Williams, county commissioner. ‘ The commissioners of the countyJ recently voted to issue licenses to beer dealers, but at the same time% decided to give the voters an unof ficial voice in the matter. The beer question will not be submitted on the official ballot, but it is planned to provide special tickets and boxes. In the event a majority is polled against Dbeer, licenses for its sale will be revoked by the county. One local attorney has questioned the validity of such a revocation. Beer failed to carry here in the May 15 referendum, but the com missioners said less than half the registered voters expresSsed them selves in that election. Three candidates already have announced for ths post on the com ‘mission. They are Leon F. Hobby, Anton Huber and Clliff Jenkins. Huber was once chairman of the poard. Hobby is clerk of the board and Jenkins is a lumberman. president of the university. He will succeed President Sanford September 1. s During summer school sessions at the university, which open Wed nesday, Dr. Sanford said he would remain as active president, !A NEW YORKER IN EUROPE— } England’s Movie Capital Reels Off Successes - Without Resorting to Hollywood Methods " By PAUL MARRISON LONDON.—The English movie business seems almost disappoint ingly un-Hollywoodsy. You don’t hear anecdotes such as are told about our own Mr, Sam “Malaprop” Goldwyn. Nor are there tales of astonishing prodigality, or stories about high priced scenarists lolling around for months and writing nothing but indorsements on five-figure checks, This dearth of legend may be due to some defection of British press-agents, who seems to con sider it bad taste to brag about the sums spent on film productions, and prefer having their public be lieve the business is being run efficiently. They don’t squander adjectives, either. I haven't heard a single picture described as “ter rific,” or even *“colossal.” ’ In a Flickee l Red tape is used mostly for wrapping around May poles. For {exampxe, it was no trick at all to see Alexander Korda, managing | director of London Film Produc tions, and top genius of the Eng lish cinema. I telephoned, receiv €d an appointment, and breezed past one secretary inte Korda's unassuming presence., : The studio offices are in an old, genteel house oy an estate at Els tree, and Korda's office is in a corner on the ground floor. Com fortable but ordinary, except for his private library of French, English and German books., Only three gelephone. Workmen /were scurrying arouad and hammering just outside the winlows. Korda has graying hair and a heavy accent, both acquired dur ing his nineteen years’ producing and directing experience in Vien na, Rome, Berlin and Hollywood. | He formed his own company here in 1932 without much ecapital or personal prestige, and is very modest about such smash hits as “Henry VIIL,” “Catherine the Great” and “The Scarlet Pimper nel.” He'd rather taik abecut his future plans. Lures Big Names You must admire Korda for hav ing attracted three of the shyesi| men of English letters. Old Rud vard Kipling sold him a story, and “Elephant Boy” now is being film ed in India. H. G. Wells turned in and wrote a special piece, “Whither Mankind?’, in which he speculates on develooments of the next thousand years. I saw one of the sets under censtruc tion, and plans for other mechan-{ istic marvels o be used in the spectacie. Wells is enthusiastic | about it; gets out to the studios| frequen‘ly, views all the rushes, land annotates his seripts to the last detail. Shortly before his death a few tweeks ago, the enigmatic Law-‘ rence of Arabia agreed to allow | iko’rda to film “The Seven Pillars | of Wisdom” and “Revolt ip the 'Desert." Korda bought the screen rights from trustees to whom Lawrence already had given the copyrights of the books, but says ‘now that he won't produce the lstories unless Lawrence’s relatives ‘{md few intimates give their con sent; Korda and Lawrence were ltriends. o e During his recent talent-trading junket to Hellywood, Michael Bal con of Gaumont-British drew howls from his homeland when he | opined that. the hest English films were being made in America. He was thinking of “David Cop perfield” at the time. Alexander Korda doesn't believe this but will help try to correct the con dition if it exists. Several ms-l torical subjects are on his sched ule. Also he's planning a film spectacle recording man’s at tempts to fly, from earliest days of feathered wings to the present. It will be just history, not a story, and the American, English and Italian air forces have agreed to help. Yank-ing At Hits 1 Saw Roland Young at the Els-| tree studios when they were film-| ing the pub scene in Wells’ "The} Man Who Could Work Miracles.” | Young is the magician, and goes| about turning pennies into gold and tabbies into gtigers. Weary from a long day he stood and talked to me while his stand-in (called a “shadow” over here) lolled at the bar on the set. He sajd hours and conditions for per- | formers are about the same in London as in Hollywood. Of course, there's afternoon tea . . . Young’'s returning to America after his picturé to try out a play in a summer theater on Cape Cod. Alexander Korda does acknowl edge the superiority of American technicians. William Cameron Menzies, former art director for Famous Players and Fox, is di recting “Whither Mankind”. Har ry Zech, a Hollywoodsman. since 1908, is boss photographer. Ned Mann is doing the trick scenie es-, sects. { English producers are pretty || careful to get at least one Ameri ecan star into every possible pic ture. "1 saw an idolatrous crowd practically mobbing Kay Francis the other evening at the Ambassa~| dors, and got some idea of the fer vor of flicker fans here. For male leads, producers try to find Anglo- Los Anglican actors. Leslie How ard and Charles Laughton are good FEDERAL FUNDS TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —(P)— Dr. J. V. Knapp, state veterinarian, | Tuesday said Florida would re ceive approximately $90,000 of fed- | eral funds to be pooled with a state | appropriation of $50,000 annually | in a campaign to eradicate cattle | screw worm. “ The congress appropriated $480,-| 000 for an anti-screw worm cam paign in the southeastern states, of which $90,000 will come to Flor- | ida. examples. .
