However, when Writer Noel F. Busch says that Birdwell is "perhaps the ablest and certainly the best-known publicist in Hollywood", he exaggerates a bit. Harry Brand, of 20th Century Fox; Howard Strickling, of Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer; Charles Einfeld and Bob Taplinger, of Warner Brothers; Perry Lieber, of R-K-O and quite a few others don't have to step down to anybody in the publicity field.

mrs. j. r. Parrish HAS RESEARCH CLUB The Research club met Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. R. Parrish, with twenty members in attendance. After the routine opening, Mrs. F. H. Heuer read a very! j interesting and comprehensive pa-1 | iter on “China and Japan." "Since 1927 the government of China has been virtually in the hands of a few men, the leading ffgj ure being Chiang Kai Shek. This group is neither reactionary as were the old war lords, nor communistic, and has held Its power well, although communism is still i a menace to the nation. This group , has been loyal and faithful to Its i country, trying to bring about suei cessful tariff negotiations, unificai t!on of government economic and | military systems, to develop water i j communications and build new ports. "The war with Japan has stopp-I cd this work although It has unlti ed the country as it never was in peace times. China is a huge country but (because of her size and lethargy she may be divided as a result I of the war. Knowing that war never brings a decided victory to one side and that there is always some compromise. China is determined that j Japan must be the one to compro- ' mise.” In the second part of her paper under the subject of “Japar" the leader said “a small overcrowded nation, Japan has one single purpose—to strengthen and extend ihe empire. To do this she must develope her industries and increase manufacturers. Iler population cannot emigrate to the English speaking countries and will not emigrate in large numbers to the mainland of Asia because of fierce Chinese competition and the cold climate. Consequently she wars on China inj tending to take the teritory she can along the coast, drain the country of its resources and reduce its popI illation to practical slavery. However, Japan is already threatened with probable wars with other nations. From within her own border, war looms in a revolution. Class distinctions are more definite that ever before. Her money is being ' depleted. To whom can she go for 1 help? All these questions as well as a change of thought, ideals, religion and general outlook on life, confront Japan in her war to dominate China.” The Mission Band of the Evange lical Church will give a special program at the church Wednesday , evening at seven o'clock. The public is invited to attend. INTERESTING TOPIC GIVEN TO LITERATURE DEPARTMENT The Literature department of the Woman’s Club met at the home of j Mrs. P. A. Kuhn Monday evening, with Mrs. C. D. Lewton as tne leader. The subject was the "Romance ! of Books.” Mrs. Lewton began by saying, “the romance of books is the romance of ourselves in thought, act, ! emotion and philosophy. Long before men invented alphabets, they I put their thoughts in pictures. 1 From this writing, there developed ! certain standardizations and at length signs began to stand for I words. Mrs. Lewton mentioned that

Woman to W Woman / By Mary Morris Those with whom I have worked in my study of the mortuary profession, and its relation with the public, have always told me that there were so many things the public should know, yet which could not be mentioned in advertising. I may be wrong, but most of those inhibitions seetn to me io belong to another era; a bygone era. Certain funeral directors. l>y the exercise of their act. cause people to say. almost invariably, “How peaceful and beautiful she is ... as though she were just asleep!” The ZWICK Funeral Home has this ability to a high degree, and it seems to me yon are entitled to this information.
