close to his sick wife. The star has had his plane ready to hop for home on a moment’s notice. A luncheon group at the Hal . Roach studio were arguing the other noon about the definition of ■ humor. Several writers made ingenious stabs at it, but it was left for Irvin Cobb to top them all. “Humor,” said Cobb, “is tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn.” Making the rounds of Hollywood, I find nothing more wanning than the palship that exists between Isabel Jewell and her father. Although the former Montana physician has become completely blind in the last few months, he is Isabel’s constant companion in the gay evening rendezvous of the film colony. And so deft and unobtrusive are her attentions that the average reveler is unaware of her father’s infirmity. In “Treasure Island,” Chic Sal* deserts his familiar rural makeup for the menacing visage of the character Ben Gunn. The major part of the change is effected by two false teeth known as “scare teeth. They

Lake. Eighteen years ago, Alice and Wally Van were the stars of “The Man Behind the Door,” in which Menjou made his inconspicuous film debut. DID YOU KNOW - 1 That Franchot Tone is a descend- . ant of Genera' Wolf Tone famous 1 Irish revolutionist of 1790? |

It is pointed out that while ; there is nothing offensive about the ' crop to chinch bugs, for they will light upon and crawl over soybeans the bugs dislike the shade and 1 dampness around the lower parts ' of the plants anil consequently, avoid them. lAeeordlng to Purdue 1 staff member*, soybeans planted in the row with corn bring about des-! sirable situation for reducing einch bug damage. Many farmers are planting soybeans In corn, and oth-i ers, who do not now regard the' cinch bug as u serious menace, may later find It wortli while to drill soybeans with a one horse wheat drill between the rows. When plant-; ed with the corn, five pounds of soybeans per acre are used, and , when panted later about two pecks i are drilled per acre. While adding soybeans to corn might reduce the yield of corn in j an ordinary year, with the prospect ; of serious chinch bug damage this, season, soybeans may cause the' I yield of corn to be increased due j to the reluction of damage.

Reduced -supplies of hay, poor stands of clover,use of soybeans on contract acres, encouraging oil mil) prices, and the need of a home grown protein supplement are Increasing the Interest In soybeans this year. The unfavorable planting season, ami the use of soybeans to check chinch bugs may cause a late demand for large quantities of soybean seed. Where Sudan Grass H being [ sown, a bushel of soybeans added to fifteen or more pounds of Sudan | grass per acre will also tend toward off chinch bug attacks as the Insects may damage Sudan grass seriously.
