How Not to Be Entertaining OULD the movies stand just a little more evidence of the force of adult ideas behind them without suffering a drop in their entertainment value? The Question suggests "itself after a reading- of the annual report of Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America. "The Czar" can only be applauded for his exhortation to the industry to stifle its impulses to use its talents for propaganda, and his reminder that "the function of the entertainment screen is to entertain." But just how narrowly should the industry permit its efforts to be confined by its desire to carry out these ideas? PROPAGANDA with a capital can ordinarily be detected 1 instantaneously in anv form of art. An overzealousness in attempting to avoid it. however, can induce a kind of oven- sensitiveness in the-faculty of detecting odors, and lead to the indiscriminate rejection of all material bearing the faintest scent of idea.

It might be good to suggest in a tactful way to motion picture'producers that evidence of some intent beyond the production of entertainment in its more shallow sense does not necessarily imply the presence of propaganda. It might be good to remind them that Broadway a few years ago discovered, greatly to its profit, that theatergoers long undernourished on theatrical whipped desserts would stampede a show that served them something they could get their teeth into. It might be good to remind them also that effort toward no'end but entertainment in a superficial sense is as likely to produce exceedingly dull fare as effort toward no end but Entertainment is more than skin deep. It is to be hoped that, a propaganda phobia in Hollywood will hot consign to the ash can the kinds of ideas that brought us such pictures as All Quiet the Western Front, Dead End Zola, The Man Who Reclaimed His Head, and Winterset. Happy Days 'T3EFORE you know it the human race just won't have any iD problems left with which it can occupy its mind.

The heritage of the ages is certainly some heritage, but 'it can't hold a candle to the intellectual fortune this age is busy amassing for the benefit of the next. The imagination is for instance, by the vast implications of the latest contribution of the field of the field of human welfare. The man -who recently discovered, through an adventure first new architectural curve to be landed on in centuries probably thought he had uncovered a gem valuable only to architecture. But no. The general public learns the true importance of the curve when it is discovered that its application to the design of race tracks not only makes the course faster but keeps all the horses closer to the stands.

i Obviously it's only a step now to the application of human endeavor in the field of curve improvement to the problems of sagging business and employment graphs. Isn't the outlook wonderful? It's a pity this generation can't stick around foranother generation.

500) As a part of the tendency to rheumatic conditions in children, there appears the condition called rheumatic heart disease. It is responsible today for the permanent crippling of many young children and not infrequently it- causes death. It seems to affect particularly the larged; most often there are murmurs indicating that the valves do not function satisfactorily. Occasionally, also there are signs indicating that the pericardium (or cover of the heart) has been inflamed so that motion of the heart gives rise to sounds of rubbing. Inflammation of this covering of the heart causes the tissues to pour out OP CTIAIIACTEIIS JOYCE MII.XER, heroine; Hhc took sin Cnilitc.

Apparently exposure to damp is a factor of considerable im- I portance.

'Some cases occur in chil-1 dren who do not seem to have any other symptoms of rheumatic character, but these are the exception. In this condition the responsible agent apparently enters the blood stream, perhaps from the nose and throat, and then attacks the muscle, the lining and the covering of the heart. Occasionally the first sign is a sudden disturbance of the heart itself but in most instances there are preliminary sore throats and fever; during such an attack the heart may be found enlarged. Perhaps also there are murmurs to be heard with the stethoscope, indicating that the heart is not performing its work normally. In some case; a rapid heart is the first indication that the heart is finding difficulty in doing its work.

A child with active rheumatic conditions is usually found to be pale, get tired easily, to be without appetite and to have some shortness of breath Such children are usually excitable and emotional. Occasionally they fine difficulty in sleeping and do not res well at night, getting up and walking sometimes shrieking during sleep. Usually the temperature is found to be slightly elevated above the norrna each evening and if the rheumatic condition tends to become more the temperature is found to be slightly higher each evening as time goes on. The physician who examines the pa tient will find that the heart gives evi dence of damage. Sometimes it is en times by use of the X-ray as well as by the usual physical tests, this enlargement will become apparent.

a Day By Catton A Country Doctor Remembers Rich in homespun philosophy and iumor and filled with enough medical adventures for a dozen volumes, "Fifty Years A Country Doctor," by Dr. William N. Macartney 'Dutton: is a saga of that hardy, wealthy-in-friends though poor-in-purse practitioner, now fast disappearing from the American scene. Dr. Macartney is a story-teller par excellence, and he has gone deep into the memories of a half century of ministering to a northern New York state community of farmers, French Candians and Indians to fill his book with innumerable anecdotes of fact and fun.

No gloomy tome of the martyrdom of self-sacrificing medico it this. The country dctor, Macartney writes, is nearly absolute monarch of his own domain, however small. "He can follow his cases from generation to gen- erption he can live his own life." And there is plenty of work to make a good living. Macartney's books also discusses most of the common ailments of his patients, ad tells remedies and treatment he has employed. Whether his advice is worthy must be left to the judgment of the medical H.

The whole row of chairs was deserted now, with most of the passengers just returned from shore or watching for late arrivals. "Believe me, we won't try any more tricks like that.

I was all set to suggest another happy two- sorr.r Havana Friday night, but I don't dare. We'll tag along with the sheep. You'll come with me, Joyce?" Her eyes twinkled. "I even dared to hope you'd ask me." For a moment he regarded her "I still can't be sure of you. First I thought it was perversity tnat wouldn't let us get perversity, if you remember yesterday morning.

But aftei- last night, I'm willing to believe that it must be destiny "Don't talk like that! I'll expect an earthquake in or at least another revolution." He laughed. "Then we'd better stick close to Mrs. Porter. I do believe she could manage a revolution." "Undoubtedly. You saw what The passengers were grouped at he rail now, staring intently down at the water, and there was a great shouting and commotion.

"Let's see!" Dick jumped to his feet and pulled her out of the chair. Standing at the rail, they saw iwo small launches drawing up to the unsteady floating platform of the companionway. The first was bringing back a happy but unsteady Mr. O'Hara, and watching him, one wondered how he would ever be able to accomplish the rickety steps under his own power. They were narrow steps, with only a flimsy hand-rail for a steady arm to grasp.

In the second launch, Mrs. O'Hara sat in grim and arrogant determination, oblivious to the comments and the commotion. "That's my bridge partner," Joyce pointed out. Dick laughed. "The old man certainly waited to finish his last rubber." As the first launch drew up to ihe platform, Mr.

O'Hara stooc up confidently and managed to lift an uncertain leg. Thc fact that it lifted over the launch and landed securely on the platform was nothing short of a miracle. Now a seaman steadied him and started him on his way up the steps, where another member of he crew came forward to meet lim.

In aboul five minutes the Empress would be leaving Bermuda for their next port of call, Nassau in the Bahamas. Already the sailors were preparing for departure, though the companionway had not been CUDDENLY Joyce straightened in her chair. "I wonder what's going on," she said, looking astern.

The energy required to climb had sorrowed too much power from lis legs and his foot slipped. True, a seaman was in front to catch a hold, but Mr. O'Hara was a heavy man. Back he went, down the stairway, and the dead weight of his body struck his wife with sudden force. On deck passengers gasped as they heard a splash.

They held their breath in a long moment of suspense. A few minutes later a thoroughly soaked Mrs. O'Hara was escorted to her stateroom. Dick shook his head, chuckling. "Let me give you one bit of advice," he offered.

"Don't piny bridge with her tonight!" Then he wont on: "I saw Obadiah this morning." Joyce brightened. "I'm so glad you did, Dick!" she said heartily. "I wus just thinking of him. II. took him seven years to buy the boat." He nodded, thoughtfully.

"And seven seconds to rip the bottom for the new bote and god bless you She looked up in quick astonishment. "I don't understand, "I gave Obndiah that hunclrod- dollar-bill you wouldn't take "Oh, Dick!" There was a sudden catch in her VOK-C. So this was his mission! Then, to hide her emotion, she added, crisply: "You probably paid a great deal more than that." He shook his head. "Very rtttle.

Growth cif Pine The rate of growth of pine stands depends on so many variable factors that it is unsafe to make a prediction such as "Southern Arkansas pino grow at the rate of a cord per acre per year." but it is to say that in most cases the growth can be materially increased by better protection from fire and better cutting practices.

O'n good soils where fires have been kept out and where the growing space is fully occupied, the growth per acre per year may be a cord or more, the U. S. Forest Service had found; but tlie average growth per acre per year on all the pine lands in the South is less tha na third of a cord, because of thin, understocked stands, says M. H. Bruner, Extension forester.

Thc rate of growth on a number of of soil; number ftrees per acre; age of the stand; extent to damage through fire; species shortleaf or loblolly pine; origin of thc old field or following logging; and whether or not previous cutting has tuken place. To determine the rate of growth in cubic feet or cords of any stand of pine, Mr. Brunei' says that the diameter growth of individual trees can be found by ocunting the width of the, growlh ring. If ihe age of the tree is known, the average rate of growth can be determined by dividing the diameter by the age.

Stands are made up of a large number of trees per acre ivith different rales of growth, and tile growth for the stand is the sum of the growth of all the trees in the Where pines have come up on old fields the age of Ihe stand is often known. Tlie annual growth per acre can then be found by dividing the number of cords per acre by ihe number of years. 9 1'etrlflcd Apple LOS ANGELES. story about Jewish stenographers and culturists have sawed in two a heavy their Bronx boy friends in a summer object owned by Charles A.

Trench Silos The increased use of trench silos for supplying plenty of cheap green 'feed in Hempstead county (luring both win- lor and the dry periods of suiinner has shown that most any green crop can be made into silage.

The great amount of sorghum-that can be grown on tin acre is a good' recommendation for it, and Ixith the grain and syrup types can be made into high (J quality silage when given proper treatment. Atlas Sorgo, Japenese Seeded Ribbon Cane, and Sagruin are of the better sorghum varieties. Sorghum should bo planted just after corn pluming time in rows a well-prepared seed bed, says Charles I F. Simmons, Extension agronomist, University of Arkansas College of-Agriculture. Since the seed should be planted as shallow as possible, it.

is best to use a grain drill with a special sorghum plate, using aboul 8 to 10 pounds of good seed per acre. Shallow cultivation will be necessary to 'keep down weeds. When silage is to he made for the time on Ihe farm, it is recommended that sorghum be used because jf the ease with which il can lied, and some experience should be before other crops are used, Many farmers are finding that pats nay be made into highly paltable ilage. The tonnage may not be as great us that from sorghum, but will eat more of it. Oats should 'be cut in the early dough stage and must be ensiled with molasses, the agronomist declared.

Soybeans and cowpeus may also be cut and stored in the trench silo if lasses is used. The rule of planting und cultivation of these crops are the same as for hay.
