The tot stepped right in front of his car and headed toward a heavy flow of after-work traffic on 10th st.

The child's frightened and grateful mother rushed out of the store just in time to witness the rescue.

hewspaper business and everything else, the way to succeed is to work hard, never watch the clock and always keep your employer's interests at heart. This is the theory. In practice it is sometimes different. Take the case of young Robert De Haven. He was a newsboy and magazine vendor at the main gate of the Columbia studios. From there he went to war, where he had an exceptionally distinguished career as-a flier. When he was mustered out, he returned to his old haunts, specifically for a visit with the gatekeeper— an old friend. A passing higher-up noticed him . , . decided he would do well as “Jim” in one of “Gallant Journey's” most important roles . .. and, presto! changeo! Mr. De Haven starts his film career as a star— an unusual achievement, I believe. As I have had occasion to say so often—there is more to movie making than meets the eve. Consider, for example, this partial list of props and equipment ordered to be on hand for picture No. 1103; set No. 72; sequences 4, 7 and 8; scenes 21-28, 29-36, 53-54 and 74-75:

Aviati NEW YORK, April 3.—Flying mail cars soon will be cutting hours from airmail delivery schedules—at 200 miles per hour and with all sorting done by mail clerks while in flight. This was revealed today as designs for Fairchild’s huge C-82 Packets, equipped for fast airmail service, were displayed at Washington, D. C., following inspection of the plane by Postoffice Department and Air Transport association officials.

The “working section” of the Packet mail plane would be outfitted with specially designed, lightweight equipment for sorting airmail in flight. No such facilities for speedy handling have ever been installed in a plane before.

My Day

NEW YORK (Tuesday). —It is a little hard for me to become’ adjusted to a’ new name at the head of the office 'of price administration, but what the new administrator, Paul Porter, says sounds very much the safne as what Chester Bowles has said right along. He emphasizes the fact that we started to acoomplish an anti-inflation job four years ago and that we can finish it successfully but that it will require intelligence and courage on our part to succeed. Where there are real hardships for big or little Susiness people, prompt price adjustments must be made so as not to impede production. But to prevent

inflation, we must keep present prices and rent stand- .

ANYONE who lived through the lack of control which existed during and at the end of the last war will acknowledge, I think, that things are being handled better this time.

Little Girl, Big Excitement FOR A LITTLE GIRL, Barbara Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Evans, 20 W. Thompson rd., caused a lot of excitement the other night.

The possibility of & kidnaping popped into the frantic parents’ minds, so police were summoned. Then Barbara walked into the house two hours late for supper.

wish to say that he was one of the best of his craft I have met in Hollywood, He introduced me to Janet Blair, who plays the female lead in “Gallant Journey.” What does one talk about when one meets a leading lady? Well, Miss Blair told me how hard it was to run a servantless house when one has to leave it at 5 a. m. and she voiced the opinion of all the movie people I have talked to, that the toughest part of the work is standing around all day, waiting for a scene to be shot. And here, before I forget it, is the best and most illuminating story I have heard in Hollywood.

There are two strong contenders in the world today for the backing of the people—~communism and our form of democracy—and the proof of the pudding is in the eating!

- It’s Results That Count

WHAT everyone is=going to look at is results, not the speeches which are made about the virtues or the failings of our respective ways of life and thought. Also, it will not be what suits this small group or hat small ‘group, but what really benefits the great majority of people, which will be the ‘deciding factor in the judgment rendered—some 10, 15 or 20 years from now-—by the generation which has fought- the war and now must try to build a peaceful world. Of course, if we fail in building a peaceful world, we may all be annihilated and there will be no opportunity for either form of economic and political thinking to prove its value. -But I'd like to quote the words which one of my favorite members of congress, Mrs, Helen Gahagan Douglas, used-in a speech before conpress on March 24: “I don’t think we value democracy highly enough. The great mass of the American people will never exchange democracy for communism as long as democracy fulfills its. promise.

A FOSTER CHILD has all the

rights and privileges of a natural child, Judge White explained, with one notable exception. Inheritance can be passed on only from parent to child. For example, a foster child who grows to adulthood and has no children cannot pass on to a sister or brother the property he received from his foster parents. Also, while

a child may inherit from his foster

parents, the latter cannot inherit from the child. And, lastly, a child cannot Inherit from its foster grandparents. » 8 .

HYPNOSIS is a form of mental suggestion. Though at one time it was commonly employed by psychiatrists in the treatment of mental illness, it is not much used today, since it may be disturbing to those patients who believe it an indefensible attempt to control their thoughts and actions. Contrary to popular belief, it is impossible to compel a person under hypnosis to do anything which is contrary to his moral code. Nu sleep from which the patient cannot awaken can be produced, either, To induce hypnosis, the patient is placed in a dark, quiet room on a comfortable bed and is asked to concentrate his attention on an object held close to his eyes, while the physician speaks in a: slow, monotonous tone of voice and gently strokes his forehead. » » ” IN SOME persons, hypnosis may be induced by using exactly the opposite method, wherein the doctor dominates the situation and makes the patient respond, Extreme degrees of relaxation can be produced by either method, as some patients fall into a deep sleep and are unable for some time to remember what has happened. Some physicians are credited with hypnotic powers because of their
