The condition has always been, a problem but are closer to the solution than ever before. At least we recognize the existence of numerous causes, for which treatment, is available. Should puffiness develop, many individuals jump to the conclusion that something has gone amiss with the heart or kidneys.

Perhaps so, but the physician can decide definitely as these disorders usually have certain suggestive indications. Vein trouble is another possibility. But ordinarily, only one limb is involved and enlarged vessels are present or the patient recalls a recent attack of phlebitis. What other factors may be responsible? It occurs in starvation states but not necessarily to the degree that we read about duiv ing.the war. Lack of proteins in the diet may be; to blame.

Dampness and cold played 'if: Valentina. the noted designer, spent a week-end at the Suffern By Lucy Greenbaum Written Expressly for the Globe-Deinocrat NEW YORK, Dec. 17 Director Alfred Santell is in search of a star.

He hasn't lost her; he just hasn't found her. The' famous Hollywood director came to New York two weeks ago to locate a leading lady for his forthcoming movie for Republic Pictures, "That Brennan Girl." The part is a ripe, juicy apple for some un known. She will have the chance to register all the emotions from hope to despair and back again. The story, by Adela Rogers St. John, centers on the theme of mother love.

Santell is leaving this fruitful city, however, without having found "Ziggy Brennan." New York did not yield the lady. In a part but in many tne symptom was minimized by stretching or elevating the legs occasionally to permit drainage. During the blitz in London, civilians were bothered after sitting for hours in shelters. Many used deck chairs and the pressure on the calves, along with inactivity, encouraged the irregularity. The abnormality was also associated with some cases of trench foot.

Recently Ross and Ormond described its occurrence in 12 train home of Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Weill. Although she arrived with a small bag, she managed to produce rom it enough changes to wear different attire at breakfast, luncheon, cocktails and dinner. After midnight a storm broke over Suffern and the stream on the -property became a torrent.

All the guest, came downstairs to watch it all except Valentina. Weill railed to her, but got no answer. "At last, we have her," Weill told the guests. "She's caught without a flood outfit." i Charles Spencer," the Boston banker, invited Sylvia Porter, the New i York Post's financial editor, to address a group of bankers. This was a return visit for Miss Porter, because of a series of accurate predictions she had made in her News-Letter.

"Suppose my predictions don't stand up. Will I be invited back?" she asked. Mr. Spencer replied by telling of a shellac trader in London who once took him to a lunchroom where eight traders gathered around a table. One reported that a shfpment of beans had arrived.

Another aid: "Beans are high; I think it ought to be good. I'll take one-eighth." The others in turn agreed to take one-eighth. "Then when the shipment is sold," the trader told Spencer, "we get a memo of "our profits." Spencer asked: "But suppose there are continued losses?" The trader told I Spencer who cited this to Miss Porter "Continued losses? Then we don't each lunch with im any more." pertaining to family finances.

No one of such a description showed up in, the 30; girls he interviewed personally and among the 100 stills he looked One woman must have been over 35 years old part calls for a fairly young girl Santell looked at herr puzzledly and asked how.

old she was. She coyly answered "I'm 27." "I should hang since she was 27," he muttered. "I would have some case of mumps!" The face of another girl was all broken out in a rash she had acquired performing for USO shows in the tropics, where she caught jungle fever. She should have sent her picture in, taken before she went overseas, Santell explained. Then she might have had a chance.

He did find one or two girls who Republic can use in pictures, but no "Ziggy." He is going to look further, rather than borrowing a ''name" from another studio, for Republic, heretofore, known chiefly for Westerns, is entering the field Of drawing room drama, and wants to build' up its own 1 "names." Thus the hiring of Director Santell. His history is the history of movies, for he grew with them. He is one of the nioneer movie directors of Hollywood; was there when the first large studios were built. A native of San Francisco, he went to school there. When he was a boy, he remembers being thrown out of bed one morning by a great tremor.

It was the San Francisco earthquake of Apr. 18, 1906. The second tremor all but destroyed the house in which he lived. He wanted at first to be an architect. Upon graduation from high school, he enrolled at Wil-merding School of Art, and then took courses in architecture at the University of California.

After four and a half years in the field as an architect, he decided to try screen writing. His first story, a silent picture, was sold to the Lubin Film Company, and was called "Castles of Cards." It was expert enough 0 establish him in the industry. Shortly after, he joined the Kalem Film Company, and then, worked as a writer with Mack Sennett, whom Gene Fowler has immortalized in his book "Father Comedies and serials were the backbone of the industry in the silent film era, and Santell's treatment of comedies became famous. His first directorial assignment came with American Film of Santa Barbara in 1917. The movie was "Beloved Rogues," with Clarence Kolb, Max Dill Continued on Page 3B coach passengers.

17. A tall, lanky fellow, prematurely bald, a bashful smile on his face, made his debut recently as a night-club master of ceremonies in a popular Hollywood spot and a lot of the old-timers gathered for his first show to pay him homage. Striking out on this new venture after an unsuccessful series attempts at making a living in pictures was Jackie Coogan, famed 26 years ago as the title figure in "The Kid the greatest comedy Charlie Chaplin ever made. LOSING FIGHT IN COURT Those who watched the Kid try to win laughs and keep the drinking customers mirthful at the night spot recalled the losing fight Jackie put up eight years ago to uet his hands on at least a portion of the $2,000,000 his clever antics as a celluloid child wonder brought into the keeping of his mother and foster father. It proved sensational first -page news for many weeks.

At the end of the fight the Kid found that his earnings bad either disappeared or had been dissipated. He was left flat and broke. No longer a movie frospect, he had no means of live-ihood. He never managed to hit the first pages again unless in reference to one of his marriages, divorces or minor escapades. The sordid court battle, how-aver, did one fine.

turn for other movie juveniles. The State of California took immediate cognizance of the possible plight of other film babes whose parents had complete jurisdiction over their earnings. COMPULSORY PROVISION The State Legislature enacted what is now commonly known as the "Coogan law." This makes it compulsory for parents of movie minora to place their earnings in trust, with all expenditures over a specified amount to be approved by the court. The court also passes on contracts signed by parents in behalf of their offspring and offers advice on business matters I I v' 1. i.

I 'S. rfl Jackie Coogan set her heart on that mansion, but the judge was adamant and scorching in his comments On the idea. The court advised them to buy a home with a price tag commensurate with Peggy Ann's income, which is still under the $500-a-week mark. In dismissing the plea, the judge said: "That's like putting a $400 saddle on a $40 horse." Almost every week some moviemaking child is before the court for advice that mayN save them from heartbreak and hardship a few years hence. The kids of Hollywood can thank the onetime millionaire.
