Star Dust
★ Smart Claire Trevor
★ The Beadle Is a Fox!
★ Marg Wins Over Dad
By Virginia Valo
CLAIRE TREVOR’S experi
ence shows plainly that it’s
a wise movie actress who has a
radio contract up her sleeve. If
she hadn’t all signed and sealed
for that “Big Town” program
with Edward G. Robinson she
might still be making B pic
tures for 20th Century-Fox.
That’s what she was doing when
she was given the rather small role
of “Francie” in “Dead End,” the
Goldwyn picture. She played it mag
nificently, everybody raved about
her performance —and then she went
back to her own studio, and into B
pictures again.
She couldn’t persuade Darryl
Zanuck that she ought to break
away from the type of thing that
she had been doing for his company.
So, last May, she stepped out. She
was convinced that, as a free lance,
she could get the kind of picture
work that she wanted. If she
couldn’t, she’d do without it. After
all, there was always that radio
salary, rolling right in!
One thing that she wanted, and
got, was the leading feminine role
in “Stage Coach,” One thing that
she didn’t want, and didn’t take,
was a long contract with Warner
Brothers. One more thing that she
wanted very much and took was
marriage, last July, to Clark An
drews. He directs that radio pro
gram that has played siwh an im
portant part in her life.

Ever since they told Cary Grant

Cary Grant program Ronald
Colman, Carole
Lombard, Lawrence Tibbett, Grou

Emmett Dolan. His private quiz
program brought out an amazing
amount of misinformation. One girl
said a beadle was something that
hung on a necklace. And everyone
was disappointed when they heard
that a beadle is just a herald.
Hal Roach has given his daughter,
Margaret, a full-fledged dramatic
role in “Captain Fury.” That
marks a victory for 17-year-old Mar
garet. Her father didn’t want her
to be an actress, so she went out
and got minor roles in pictures
made by other producers. She also
sang in a night club. He finally
gave in, and now she is happy, and
all set to play an Australian settler’s
daughter who provides romance for
John Warburton in the picture.

I Plain Face Is
Challenge to
Personality
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
“T CAN’T understand it,” wailed a
“ stupid mother to me, “Jenny is
so plain and her two sisters are so
beautiful! I only hope some man
will see something in her and marry
her. I’ll have no trouble getting the
other two married but Jenny is go
ing to be a problem!”
Jenny heard her mother and she
just laughed. “It’s too bad I am so
plain,” she said, “and if no man
will marry me when I grow up I’ll
be a nurse!” Jenny was 15 then.
Five years later I saw Jenny
again. Her mother had written that
Jenny was to be married and her
two pretty sisters (still not mar
ried!) were to attend her, I was
amazed at this turn of events.
When I stepped off the train there
was Jenny with frank lovely eyes
smiling me a welcome. Her rather
angular figure was becomingly at
tired in a simply cut sports frock
and her long straight black hair had
been cut and waved. Now short
curls haloed her plain face giving
it the most fascinating piquant ex
pression.
From that first moment it was
fun to be with Jenny, to listen to her
wedding plans, to meet her young
friends and to watch her easy, de
lightful poise. “The Ugly Duck
ling’s certainly made good,” I mur
mured, and was curious to know
what she had done during those five
intervening years.
It seems that at an early age
Jenny realized that beaux and par
ties and indulgence of whims were
not going to be hers easily, because
she lacked the beauty her sisters
had, so she struck out for a life of
her own and went to college. There
she concentrated on school affairs
as ardently as on her studies and
soon won an enviable place in the
hearts of her classmates. Not ex
pecting much from life without ef
fort she matured into an unselfish,
thoughtful person and through
study, quite unconsciously devel
oped her personality. It was at a
school dance that Bill, her-groom
to-be, met her.
State of Mind
Important
No, the girl over SO who has le.
herself down must pick herself up.
Perhaps she has to begin with think
ing. She must think she is needed,
that she is good at her work, that
there is a job for her some place.
Then she must make herself just as
lovely looking as she possibly can
within her means.
Any girl can exercise herself back
to health, put color in her cheeks
and a sparkle in her eyes. She can
pamper her hair by brushing, sham
pooing it at home, drying it in the
sun. She can keep her clothes clean,
neatly mended and, if her funds are
very low, rely on an inexpensive
collar and cuffs to freshen the one
dress she wears job-hunting.
She must approach each prospec
tive employer with a feeling of as
surance, an eagerness for the job
and make him feel she is capable,
experienced and a person he needs
to have around. It can be done—
you older girls—but if you don’t take
yourselves in hand your future is
not rosy. Just think of the thou
sands of girls over 30 who are hold
ing down jobs—how do you suppose
they do it?

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
The Use of Face Powder
Face powder is perhaps woman’s
oldest beauty aid. In Egypt, China
and Japan powders have been used
for centuries. Rice, starch, clay,
bismuth and almond meal were toi
let prerequisites before the days of
Cleopatra.
A high grade powder is a manv
sided blessing. It protects the SKin
against strong sunlight, harsh winds
and atmospheric dust.
The woman who knows her beauty
rules never grinds powder into the
pores. She pats it on lightly, start
ing under the chin and not on the
nose, as was the old-time custom.
After its application she taps her
face lightly with the finger tips. That
tends to make the powder stick.
It’s important to be fastidious
about the powder pad, since germs
lurk on even a clean skin. Absorb
ent cotton is more sanitary, though
it doesn’t spread the powder as nice
ly as lamb’s wool. Rouge pads are
frowned upon because they are usu
ally given such long service.
Many of today’s powders contain
starch talcum, also oxide of zinc,
which is an excellent antiseptic. To
help powders to hold on lotions are
used, some being compounded of
stearate of zinc and a bland oil.
They should be rubbed into the flesh
until they disappear, as you would
with a vanishing cream.
Silken Caracul Is Valuable
The value of the silken pelts of
caracul from an unusual breed of
sheep in southern Russia is de
termined by the regularity and
beauty of their lustrous moire mark
ings. As in all furs, the quality of
the skin is important, and the supple
softness. But for caracul to achieve
its greatest loveliness, the shimmer
ing moire patterns must be care
fully matched and harmonized.

Woodpecker 'Black Sheep*
The yellow-bellied woodpecker,
commonly called the sapsucker, is
the only black sheep of his family.
Despite the belief that many wood
peckers who resemble him are tree
killers, the yellow-bellied is the only
one that will suck sap from trees;
the rest of his family drills holes
harmlessly in trees; in fact, their
drilling often is beneficial as they
are looking for insects.
Derivation of Name Clara
The name “Clara” is a form of
"Clare,” a name probably derived
from St. Clare, a popular saint in
England, a friend of St. Francis, and
foundress of the Roman Catholic
order of St. Clare, the nuns of which
are often called “Poor Clares.” The
name appears in many medieval
calendars. It is probably derived
from the Latin "clarus” (bright
star).
Bead Collectors
Old beads are much valued and
Sought after in Borneo, certain rara
beads being especially valued. The
ownership of each rare bead is ac
curately catalogued and known
throughout a district just as the
ownership of a rare work of art
among us and any change in owner
ship a keen topic of discussion as
here.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

C. Houston Goudlss Touches Upon the Food Values
of Fish and Shellfish; Shows How They Can Help
to Improve Nutritive Quality of the Diet
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
A PRESENT-DAY nutritionist might easily quarrel with the
traditional distinction between fish, flesh and fowl. For
the flesh of fish, cattle, swine, sheep and poultry is commonly
referred to as “meat;” and the nutritive values of all these
foods properly may be considered together. Their composi
tion is very similar, consisting principally of protein, water
and fat, with the chief variation occurring in the fat content.
They also average about one<s
per cent of minerals and con
tain some of the vitamins in
varying amounts.
Fish v*. Other Flesh Foods
There is a wide variation among
the different kinds of fish in the
amount of fat they
oral, fish have loss
fat and more water
It than other forms of
if meat. Their tissue
JP|||p. I fibers are also
n ma kes for case of
digestion. In many
Mk Wwi cases, their flavor
WfWm > s less pronounced
mm because there are
fewer extractives.
For this reason, fish is considered
less stimulating, and that is also
why it is often served with some
sort of sauce, or with a lemon
garnish to point up the flavor.
The proteins of fish are regard
ed as equally useful with other
forms of meat for helping to build
and repair body tissues. Most lean
fish are richer in minerals than
fatty fish; in this respect, they
resemble lean meats.
Salt water fish are notable as
a source of iodine, required for
the proper functioning of the thy
roid gland. It is desirable that
this mineral be included in the
dietary to help prevent simple
goiter.
The Cattle of the Sea
The most significant difference
between fish and most other flesh
foods is that with the exception of
certain shellfish which are pro
duced under government regula
tion, “crops” from the sea are
neither planted by man, nor cul
tivated by him.
Unlike the farmer or the cattle
man, the fisherman gathers his
“harvest” without the previous ef
fort of sowing seeds or cultivating
plants; without the necessity of
providing shelter or fodder.
To a man or woman who has
never enjoyed the experience of
catching fish for dinner, the sea
may suggest nothing but an ex
panse of blue-green water. But
to those who are familiar with the
habits of its denizens, the sea is a
fascinating place . . . teeming
with life. It contains many forms
of vegetable materials, of which
seaweed is the best known. These
provide food for the lower forms
of animal life which inhabit the
waters. They, in turn, are eaten
by larger creatures. In the final
analysis, all forms of animal life
in the sea, as on land, are depend
ent for their sustenance upon the
Fashion News in Patterns
I T’S fun to wear the new styles
1 first! To have something de
cidedly smart and refreshingly
different before everybody else
starts to wear it. These patterns
bring you ideas for new styles that
are right up at the top of fashion’s
preferences, just as pretty and be
coming as they can be! You don’t
need a lot of sewing experience to
work with these designs. Each in
cludes a step-by-step sew chart to
guide beginners.
The Petticoat Dress.
If you want something just as
youthful and flattering as it is ex
citingly new, make yourself the
charming petticoat frock. The
skirt is cut with an exaggerated
flare, so that you can wear a real
petticoat under it, or sew in petti-

sun, which stores up energy in
green plants.
The sun is concerned, too, with
the production of vitamin D, as it
is by means of sunshine that our
best source becomes available.
Fish liver oils are the richest nat
ural sources of vitamin D. This
vitamin is necessary for the prop
er utilization of calcium and phos
phorus in building strong bones
and sound teeth. We prize highly
the liver oils of the cod, halibut,
salmon, swordfish and tuna for
their fine amount of this precious
vitamin.
The body oils of certain fish are
also valued for their vitamin D.
Some varieties that are notable
in this respect are salmon, her
ring and sardines. It is agree
able as well as economical to ob
tain vitamin D by serving seafood,
because fish supplies so many
other valuable nutrients at the
same time.
Fish Is Universally Available
There are perhaps more varie
ties of fish than any other type
of first-class protein food. A gov
ernment bulletin has listed 40
kinds besides smoked and salted
fish and the various shellfish.
Thus the use of fish provides
ample opportunities for varying
the menu. Moreover, though fish
is more perishable than other flesh
foods, it is available today in ev
ery town and hamlet, however re
mote from the waterways.
No matter where she lives, the
homemaker can choose from a
wide variety of canned, dried,
smoked, salted and quick-frozen
fish. And both transportation and
refrigeration have been so im
proved that fresh-caught fish are
distributed far inland.
The quick-frozen fish should be
handled as carefully as fresh fish,
kept under refrigeration, and
used within a reasonable time aft
er purchasing. Canned fish, nat
urally, requires no refrigeration,
and a supply can always be kept
on hand both for everyday use
and for emergencies.
The most important canned fish,
in terms of the amounts packed
and sold, is salmon. This flavor
some fish is an excellent and eco
nomical protein food which is also
notable for its energy value; its
calcium, phosphorus and iodine;
and as a source of vitamins A
and D. Other canned seafoods
that are sold in volume include
tuna, sardines, shrimp and
clams. Canned crab and lobster
meats and oysters are also to be
found upon the shelves of most
grocers, together with other va
rieties of seafood, some packed in
tomato sauce.
When using canned salmon and
other kinds of fish that have been

Above the doll-waist, the bodice is
gathered over the bosom, and has
a crisp little frill that simulates
the line of a bolero. High-shoul
dered sleeves complete its Vic

does nice things to your figure,
and it’s just about the most seduc
tively feminine fashion you can
choose. Make it of taffeta, flat
crepe or silk print.
Skating Suit With Hood.
Whether you ice or roller-skate,
this is the thing to wear! And
since the skating silhouette will be
very smart for spring in sports
clothes, too, you’ll want a run
about outfit made with this same
pattern, later on. The fitted,
high-shouldered jacket, buttoned
straight up to the throat, is ex
cellent style for street and sports
wear, as well as the swirling skirt.
If you make this suit to wear for
ice skating or in a cold climate,
line both skirt and jacket of wool.

juices which cooked out during the
sterilization process, as thesecon
tain valuable nutrients.
Varieties of Shellfish
Clams, oysters, shrimp and’scal
lops differ somewhat from other
forms of seafood, chiefly in that
they contain some carbohydrates.
They have very little fat. Oysters
are rich in iodine and they might
be compared to the glandular or
gans, such as liver and kidney,
as a source of three vitamins, A,
B and G.
Place of Fish in the Diet
The most important contribution
of all forms of fish is their pro
teins, which as we have seen may
be used interchangeably with
those of beef, pork, lamb, veal
and poultry. The iodine of sea
foods and shellfish is also ex
tremely important, and in some
varieties, the content of vitamins
A and D. The more fatty fish, in
cluding mackerel, salmon, eels,
herring, catfish and shad are com
paratively rich in energy values.
The fuel value of cod, flounder,
perch, smelts and haddock, which
are low in fat, and halibut and
whitefish which have a moderate
amount, may be increased through
the use of a rich sauce, or they
may be cooked in fat.
Taking into consideration ijs
food values and economy, and
when the preserved forms are uti
lized, its ease of preparation, the
homemaker who desires to feed
her family well should serve fish
or shellfish, in some form, much
oftener than once each week!
