“Indianapolis Artists’ Auditions
THEY SAY that Indianapolis doesn’t offer - uch of a chance for budding vocalists and instrumentalists to achieve recognition as serious artists. The complaint seems to be justified. This summer, however, a group of citizens have done something about it. That :is' how the Greater Indianapolis Young Artists’ Auditions got its start. The auditions constitute an effort by the community to discover:
musical talent between the ages of 16 and 30 and to present it to the public. The artists who! qual-

Ethel, Proprietress of Pub, 'Mom' to Yanks in England
AMERICAN BOMBER BASE IN ENGLAND, June 22 (U. P.).—You wouldn't think Ethel was the kind ‘of a gal the boys would go for. She's fiftyish, her red hair isclipped short antl streaked with grey. She wears Horn-rimmed glasses and too much lipstick and minature glass chandeliers dangle from her ear lobes. But the boys at this American air base love Ethel—and Ethel loves them. They call her - Ethel, or sweetheart or even mom, and to her, they're “my boys.” Not one in a hundred airmen know her ldst name. But Ethel knows theirs and where "they're from, the names of their best girls —next to her, that is—and what their fathers do for a living.
Pack Em In
Ethel runs the Royal Standard, a little country pub a few hundred yards down the road from the base and every night you'll find the boys stacked around her bar—and a few of her favorites lounging in her tiny but tidy sitting room. ~All of Ethel's boys fight for an invitation to sit in her living room and the ones in the bar look with _envy on those who have reached the inner sanctum. There in the little room, Ethel hashes over personalities of the air base. She finds out that Eddie bas been heard from. He’s a prisoner. “Oh, that’s good,” she says and turns to a newcomer and explains

that “he’s one of my boys. He's a waist gunner on the “Old Fool.” We'd heard from all of them except him. He’s a good boy.”
Tells About Eddie
Then she tells some incident connected with Eddie, like the time he
took off his shoes and someone stole them and Eddie rode his bicycle back to the base in his stocking feet. Ethel reads “Stars and Stripes” and “Yank,” the army newspapers, just to keep up on what's going on in the air force, but it isn’t her technical knowledge that maker her so popular. It’s her greeting “Hey, Johnny. What you hear from home? or “Howya, Willie. Got that letter from Madge yet?” She takes a whole crew under her wing at the same time. “Remember the crew of the Black Ace”? she asked. “They were awfully nice boys. One time we all went down to London together and stayed for the week-end at the country home of a friend of mine. We had more fun. Got lost in a fog and couldn’ find our way to the railroad station.” Then she gets to thinking about the other crews and her eyes get misty and she manages a painted} smile and says: “But I'm not adopting any more crews. They're just like owning dogs. They run out in the road and something happens to them and they're gone.” But Ethel will adopt more. just can’t help it.

Sgt. King Is Hero On ‘Thunderbird’
S. SGT. J. E. KING of Hartford City was one of the heroes of the flying fortress Thunderbird’s 45-minute fight with 25 German planes over the Mediterranean, dispatches yesterday revealed. Sgt. King was the radio operator on the fortress which downed eight German planes and reached her Pantelleria base safely with 140 bullet holes dotting her sides. - He was among those credited with “getting” a German plane. When the Thunderbird was shot out of formation, enemy fighters attacked her from all sides and she was last seen struggling just above the water. Men at her base in Northwest Africa gave her and her crew up for lost. Then yesterday a telephone message from Tunis told of her winning flight and landing safely with none of her crew injured.
ORPHANS’ HOME HITS WELFARE STANDARDS
VINCENNES, Ind. June 22 (U. P.).—The legislative committee investigating the state welfare department heard yesterday witnesses of the Knox county orphanage describe as “fantastic” demands of the welfare department which has refused to issue a license for the institution. Principal testimony was given by Mrs. member of the orphanage’s board of managers for 49 years. She said that the welfare: department had demanded improvement of conditions in the home that were not followed “in some -of our best colleges.”
that lack of support from the state had necessitated a drop in the number of inmates from ‘an’average of 50 to 11 children.

spent his life making beauties more
engaged in building new faces and hands for wounded navy men. . What Dawn saw in the hospital wards was heart-breaking. What he’s doing about it in his Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer laboratories makes one of the most heart-warming dispatches it ever has been our privilege to write. Dawn'’s first customer was a young sailor whose face had been turned into a mass of scar tissue when he dived off a burning ship into a sea of flaming oil in the South Pacific.
Can Go Home Now “The captain of his ship person-
}ally brought this lad to us over his
protests,” Dawn said. “He complained while we worked ‘with the plaster casts, the sculpture, and finally the finished prosthetic nose and cheeks, We applied them to his face and gave him a mirror. He gazed upon himself for a long time. Tears came to his eyes and he said: “ ‘Gee, now I can go home and see mom:’”. Having proved to the navy department that standard movie makeup technique could do wonders for maimed sailors, Dawn was quick to get wholehearted co-operation from naval chieftains.
Normal Life Possible
The plan now is to teach the technique to navy doctors everywhere, to supply them with Dawn's specially developed materials, and to make possible a normal life for any man, no matter how terribly his face may have been injured. The system depends upon Dawn's plastic material, a synthetic dough which is moulded, colored and dried into an exact replica of human flesh. It even feels springy and
warm.

The sailor’s left hand now is an exact duplicate of his right. Nobody can tell which is artificial and which isn’t.

As Cheap Way to Ease Meat Shortage.
By Science Service WASHINGTON, June 22.— sandwiches without visible meat
may result from a new process developed by. chemists of the U. 8. department of agriculture. A billion pounds of proteins could thus be recovered annually by alcohol distillation from wheat. Equipment already has been designed for commercial production based on the process developed by Irwin W, Tucker, a young chemist working under Dr. A. K. Balls, chief of the department's enzyme research laboratory. Wheat is treated with sodium sulphite solution, a plentiful waste product of paper mills and other industries. The extracted protein clots and rises to thé surface as a thick, yellow froth. When dried it looks much like dried egg white. The protein is suitable for human consumption, especially when granular flour is used in the process. Its cost would be only about five cents a’ pound. Some look for the protein enrichment of bread, which would help make up for meat supplies that have been nearly cut in half. Cereal products could be similarly treated. Essential chémical products, such as casein, also are possibilities. Meanwhile, use the solution that is left after
