She was unhappy.
Sem For instance, his bowling scores. Gad, I to do it. ; ry Bp. getting iound t. Sally Twyford, five times winner of world champjonship bowling fitles, watched me rack up the “sensational” scores. Mrs. Pearl Townsend, 1550 E. Tabor -st., my opponent for the afternoon, wouldn't be happy either
“ {ff I changed the scores. After all, Mrs. Townsend
beat me three games with a blistering 88, 110 and 106. My scores? Hold on awhilé, neighbor. Sally, who instructs at the Fountain Square Recreation Co., wanted to know what kind of game I bowled before Mrs. Townsend and 1 started our instruction and games. I told her my game wasn't the best in the world. 4 «little instruction would come in handy.
“Where's your bowling ball and shoes?” Sally asked.’
Picked Out Shoes, Ball SALLY'S A GOOD GAL. She understood. .We picked out a pair of shoes and a ball “Take a couple of practice shots so I can see how you bowl and if your game needs correcting,” instructed Sally. I slammed the ball down the alley. It had plenty of speed. Five pins hit the dust. While the ball was on -its way back, Sally * explained that my shot was all wrong. “You're bending too low, your arm doesn't go parallel with the alley, your footwork is off and you
{ don't grip the ball right.”
“Pretty awful, huh?”
SALLY DOWN THE ALLEY—This is the way it should be done. Sally Twyford, five times world champion bowler, has form and patience with beginners.
As Sally demonstrated the shot and Tootwork, she also said there was hope for me with practice and instruction. : « Mrs. Townsend took a couple of practice shots and was corrected on her back swing and grip. Made me feel better. “Take another shot,” Sally said to me, “and watch that you don't lean forward too much. Swing the ‘ball back and let it go straight out. Just as it leaves your hand lift it with your fingers. That will give it the English you need.” Horrors. The ball went into the left gutter but Sally said my form was better. “Your back-swing is still wrong. Remember, if the back-swing is wrong, the forward swing will be wrong.” Too many things to remember. A little girl in the next alley stepped up to the firing line and rolled one down slow. At first it} looked as if the ball would never reach the pins. About three-quarters of the way down the ball began to turn in and bingo—all the pins went down. Bally pointed out that the girl had form. Her arm went straight back and forward and she gave the ball the all- ~important, lift just as it was leaving her fingers.
SECOND SECT ION
Mrs. Townsend picked up nine pins with her two| =
shots. The game was on. There was a slight pause as Sally went over the finer points of bowling. There's a difference in watching and doing. My first shot caught five pins again. Half down. “Shoot to the right of the ball you're shocking at,” said Sally as I stepped up again. I'll swear the gutter moved out and ‘caught my ball. There's no use arguing with Sally. She knows what went wrong and will show you exactly how it was done and the remedy for it. ‘On the fifth frame I hit myself in the Adam's apple with the bowling ball. That's what comes from aiming too hard. Seven more went down to bring my score up fo 26. Sally said that was awful and I don’t blame her in the least.
All Pins Over for Strike SOMETHING RADICALLY wrong happened in the eighth frame. All the pins went over for a strike. Sally said strikes would become more frequent if I just didn’t turn my hand too soon, didn't bend too low and always followed through. “The game ended unsensationally, had 88 and I had 86. Here I quote from a book on bowling: “The beginner should be helped, not ridiculed. Many a prospective bowler has been laughed out of the sport.” Please, be kind. ‘The second game Mrs. Townsend did better, 110. Sally explained that my score of 74 was a natural reaction of trying too hard. - Boy, I was. It's still a lousy score; isn't it? The third and last game was a definite improvement.” This, in spite -of the fact that the bowling ball was beginning to get heavy. I didn’t want to say anything to Mrs. Townsend but my right arm was ready to fall off. Mrs. Townsend wound up with 113 and I had 106. It's tough to get beat by the fairer sex. Especially at a man’s game like bowling. Or is it a man’ s game? I don’t know. Anyway, Sally gave her last igstructions to both of us: Remember everything wé learned at that ses-

Why Men Leave Home By Virginia MacPherson
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 6.—If your old man’s skipped out on you, lady, don't go gunning for his red-haired secretary. Husbands don’t leave home for other women—they take it on the lam to get away from
‘the one they already have.
Dan Eisenberg, .international private detective, speaking. And with authority. He's delivered thou-
| sands of reluctant husbands back to the missus and
kids. He's also tracked down a quarter of a million missing debtors, heirs, court witnesses, and long-lost relatives. As president of Skip ‘Tracers Co. Mr. Eisenberg pooh-poohs the legend. that men leave home for some curvaceous bundle Ines catches their eye,

and the stocky private eye will turn loose his 400 operatives on the trail “A man who's a fiend for tennis or .fancy French cooking will eventually turn up at a tennis match or French restaurant,” he says. “They're fairly easy to spot, because people who try to get lost seldom bother

They usually keep their own names, too. “Once in a while they'll take their mother’s maiden name," Eisenberg explained. “That seems to be the v ’ 2

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 6.—FErskine Johnson asked
"me to write about “sticking my neck out” by making
pictures that are off the beaten path. The truth is that anyone who tries to do or say anything, anytime, anywhere, which isn’t like all of the things that went before, is “sticking his neck out.” When Laura Z. Hobson wrote “Gentleman's Agreement” she was sticking her neck out, if you want to put it that way. She gave up a good job and financed herself in a three-year risk to write a
“dificult novel on % heretofore taboo subject—racial
discrimination in America. But, while she did stick her neck out in dealing with this theme, she very smartly did all she could do to make her story readable, and of sure-fire emotional interest. She didn’t write a tract or preachment. She wove
‘the facts of social anti-semitism into an exciting and ‘highly dramatic love story. She didn't veneer her “message on to the plot as a sermon, but dexterously
made the “message” the key which opened an exfraordinary chain of human interest.
Believed in His Job +. MOSS. HART, in writing the screen play for “Genfleman’s Agreement,’ gave up the chance to write the play that he'd planned to do this season. The play would certainly have paid him much more than what Re received from us for his services, so there's nly one reason why he did the job—it was something he believed in, * When 20th Century-Fox made “How Green Was ‘My Valley,” we were warned that we were sticking

In the case of “The Grapes of Wrath,” the warnings were even more dire, for in this picture we were talking about a problem much closer to home than Wales. But both films satisfied the public, the critics and their creators.

On Forest Fires
Science Service
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.—Making water wetter is the latest method of fighting forest fires. To those of you who think that water is already wet enough to put out fires, it can be explained that the so-called “wetting agent,” is a chemical that reduces the surface tension of the water so that it will flow better, spread out, and soak into materials instead of forming beads and remainng on the surface as droplets. Thus the “wetter water” will penetrate and get things soaking wet better than ordinary water. The United States forest service is experimenting with several of these wetting agents in the hope :that, added to water, they may be useful in putting out small fires especially in grass. Many wetting agents are now known and have been used as detergents in place of grdjpary soap and in the textile industry-to Tacs dyeing. Among those being tried out in| forest fire fighting are Drench, P-2H sulfonate, and d tergitol.

New Drug Helps
In Feeding Bais
LONDON, Aug. 8—A vitamin chemical that will help mothers feed their babies better has been discovered by Mohamed El Shahat, bio$hemist in the medical school of Fouad 1st University at Cairo, Egypt. Dr. 8hahat calls this chemical the “H" lactation-promoting factor, “H” standing for human. Small doses of it enable mothers to- produce both more and richer milk for their babies. The volume of milk increased in 158 cases by: 160 per cent to 900 per cent. Larger increases occurred at the earlier stages of lactation, soon after the baby’ 8 birth. The amounts of fat, proteins, sugar, minerals and vitamins in the milk also increased, so that the milk was more nourishing as well as more abundant. The “H” factor was obtained from Fenugreek oil. Fenugreek is a plant whose oily seeds have been used for poultices and in veterinary medicine. Dr. Shahat announced his discovery of the “H” factor at the meeting here of the 11th International Congress of Pure and Allied chemistry.
