THE CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1938. PAGE SIXTEEN Behind-the-Scenes Talk With the Mother of Jane Withers Beauty According To You Trimmings Give Freshness By Eleanor MY DAY LOS ANGELES. Wednesday. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the WPA state administrator and various other officials called for me and we drove to the Fresno airport, which has been greatly improved by WPA labor, under tnis program, some of the buildings have been moved and the administration building has been built. Then we drove through the "park to see the artificial lake the WPA had constructed.

Finally, we returned to the state college to see a project which had employed only a few people and which is now practically complete. It interested me greatly because I think it will mean much to the school children of this district. In a series of well-lighted cases running along a corridor, they have depicted a section of California from the coast, over the mountains and to the desert. In each, against backgrounds painted from actual scenes, the birds and animals of the region are shown. In those cases showing the marshy sections Atbi 's Li 1 HEALTH TALKS By DR.

Conversation piece with the mother of Jane Withers, box-office money-maker No. 6. "It (the just-concluded personal appearance tour) was like a beautiful vacation for us.

Jane worked only 40 minutes a day (doing impersonations of famous movie children). And she was paid $5,000 a week. Her new picture contract for two straight years gives her $2,500 a week. (The same contract for two straight years pays Mrs! Withers $200 weekly.) She makes lots of monen from indorsements from one alone she gets $25,000 a year. As you know, she's had many offers of radio work one for $75,000 for 26 weeks' work and appearances with Charlie McCarthy.

She was wild to do it. But the studio would not allow her to go on the air. (Ah, well; you can't have everything.) "On the whole, we are both very happy. Only Jane sometimes gets tired of the good-little-bad parts she plays on the screen. The other day she said, 'Gee, mom, I wish I could be a meanie (The first and last time was in "Bright with Shirley Temple.) Sure, she's friends with Shirley (in answer to my question).

They say 'Hello' to each other when they meet on the set. (Only they don't often meet on the set.) "Jane's a wonderful child. All she wants to do is work. Yes, she sees her pictures, but she does not realize she's the central character. She never talks 'shop' at home (a four-acre, 10-room ran-cho).

"Jane loves Hollywood. She was born in Atlanta, but I brought her here when she was six that was five years ago. She'll stay here to enroll at U. C. A.

she is the mascot of the football team. "In spite of her work, Jane leads a normal life. She goes to bed at 8 o'clock when she is working. right next to the coast, I was amused to see the same little sandpipers and yellowlegs disport themselves as we find up north on the Atlantic coast in the marshy section of the Island of Campo-bello. The backgrounds are skilfully painted and give depth to each scene.

I can well believe that hundreds of children have enjoyed this natural history exhibit. Two of the men of the American Legion, which sponsored the lecture in Fresno, very kindly suggested that we might like to go out to see a winery. The wine industry is, of course, important in this state. My only knowledge of wine making is derived from seeing the champagne cellars in Rheims, France, many years ago, and seeing my grandmother make mulberry wine at home. Here we saw sherry, port, muscatel, brandy and many other varieties.

We were given some sherry and port to taste and they seemed excellent to me. We reached the hotel about 6 and a number of people came to call. After that I tried to write a few letters, but only succeeded doing the absolutely necessary ones before it was time for dinner and the lecture. The gentleman who introduced me at the lecture had lost his house in the flood. He had built it only two years ago and I thought he accepted his loss very remarkably.

Instead of bemoaning it, he said: "We regret the loss of things to which we had some sentimental attachment and which we cannot replace, but perhaps such things should happen to us lest we grow too soft." Not many of us lake our adversities in that spirit. I returned here on the first train to go through from Fresno to Los Angeles since the flood. We woke early this morning and saw v.rP were going through an area which had evidently been hard hit. Steel bridges were destroyed as if they were made of paper and whole sections of the highway seemed to have been undermined. (Copyright.

Let's suppose your skin is still flushed from its thorough cleansing. It is just ready for a light coat of this excellent cream to be patted gently in and accomplish wonders for you.

If your complexion is suffering from wintry winds and dry indoor heat, this emolient will go right to work on its dull, parched, faded appearance, and by softening and nourishing it, act as a gentle aid in returning it to normalcy. I particularly recommend it for sensitive, easily irritated skin, as its formula is sucli as to remove all irritants known to cause or aggravate allergic conditions.

That is the little verse that sprang into my mind as I walked into Grace Moore's apartment, which was the scene of preparations for a concert tour, and picked my way through more hats than I have ever seen outside a millinery shop. "I take it you like hats," was my greeting. "I love them," Miss Moore said, "and think there is nothing that picks up the spirits like a new hat. They are my pet extravagance and yet I invariably wear the same old favorite." Doubtlessly a number of such posture is highly important to of the wall paper.

Yes, it's hard to live a solitary existence when you love people; it's hard to find satisfaction in the village when you yearn to be in the city that's brimming with interests; places to go and thinsrs to see.
