SHRINE DANCE ANNUAL WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY BALL (INVITATIONAL) - MASONIC TEMPLE Tuesday Evening " February 217 i This makes some good between-meal munching—a Brazil crumb cake. By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer Mothers of growing children would do well to keep a snack shelf, some special ledge in the kitchen for be- tween-meal munching. That will take some of the bother out of life | when son John and his hungry | playmates romp in at the door for | a bite. | Spreads that can be applied to | bread or crackers in a minute please the youngsters. And they’ll take the edge off ravenous young appetities without spoiling their relish for/ lunch or supper. A Shelf Selection Here's a good 8élection: creamed peanut butter and raisins, cottage | cheese and jam, a mild cream theese “or assorted jellies. - Theyre | all ‘tempting with white, Graham,| brewn or raisin bread. Keep the makings on the shelf and let the children spread their own. Slightly sweet buns are popular. An old- fashioned favorite is to cover white or Graham crackers with butter and jelly. . And don’t stint on milk. Keep the refrigerator well stocked, since milk is one of the most economical _ ‘health-building foods. | Fruits, ‘too, are essential. Apples, bananas, oranges, pears and other kinds ‘give a refreshing uplift to the tired youngster. Possibly a fruit bas- ket stored in the refrigerator will | interest the child in making several | selections. Natural foods, rather mild flavored, are recommended to de- velop good dietary habits. | Fruit juices for warmer days make | | good partners for plain cookies, | | gingerbread or sandwich combina- | | tions. | Sweets should not be the main | 'part of the between-meal bite. But | | you can provide a little as a “des- | sert.” Cookies cut in fancy shapes, or |dropped and decorated with raisins |and small candies or cake batter | baked in individual cups add a fes-| | tive touch. Plain gingerbread spread !with simple white icing is quite a |treat. Keep away from rich cakes | | with elaborate frostings and fillings. | Encourage children to like plain| cakes such as angel food or sponge, | even if they have to be “dolled” up a little with bits of frostings. They |look ornate but are easily digested. | For surprises, bowls of popped | corn, peanuts, raisins, prucs, dates | trial development of which has not and small candy and nut bars, placed on a shelf will delight a youngster and make him pleased to| share with any of his guests. Keep a note book in a special place and jot down in it the foods | to be used for the children’s pick- and proceed to enjoy the snack.

Walker WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—A gov- rder a motion by Sen- ernment witness told the Monopoly 1 to amend the bill by Investigating Committee the asse of ‘life insurance companies are | growing so fast that the concerns | may find their field of investment | becoming smaller. Ernest Howe of the insurance | section of the Securities and Ex-! change Commission said he wanted | “to emphasize that the growth of | assets of the legal reserve life insur- | ance companies was much larger than the (population) growth of the | United Sttaes.” “It is easy to understand that pro- rd ing ‘that since the clause had been inserted by the Senmate by amend- ment, it could not be removed unless ration were moved.

Biday Gilt Is Fatal One FORT WORTH, Tex., Feb. 20.—It | was the sixth birthday of Ray Davis, on of the Rev. F. D. Davis, and one of his most prized gifts was a shiny ! new wagon. Ray went out to play in the aft- ernoon. As he was seated in the new || wagon his “brother, Donald, going on seven, gave it a push. It sped down the driveway of the Davis home as Ray shouted in glee. f Around the corner came a truck. Wagon and boy spun under the rear | wheels of the machine and were | crushed.

High baromet- rich pressure prevailed from Barrow eastward to the Mackenzie Val- ley and souttheastward to California, the crest being 30.64 inches at Fort Simpson. This general pressure distribution has been attended by precipitation along coastal regions from the Aleutians eastward to the northern portion of the Gulf of Alaska, also over the Bering Sea region northward to Nome and by generally fair weather over the remainder of the field of observation. It was colder last night over the Kuskokwim Valley and warmer over the Seward Peninsula and ov:r the Alaskan Arctic coast. « Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Cooms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 20.—Most interesting chap I've met in a long time isn't a movie star, or director, or writer, or execu- tive. He isn't a glamour guy, and you won't find him in the bright spots where the candid cameras are clicking. He is a business man. You say “busines in Hollywood and right away you think of “prosaic” and “hardboiled.” J. S. Rex Cole is certainly not the former; he is the latter—when he has to be—because his par- ticular business is managing the financial affairs of movie people whose aggregate annual earnings average hundreds of thousands of dollars. He started it 14 years ago—he’s the town’s longest-established man in his field—when Warner Baxter turned over his accounts to him. Baxter is still on his client list, with about 29 others like Constance Bennett (herself no dipsydoodle as a business mind), A. Edward Sutherland, Henry King, Ronald Colman, Zoe AKins, Bob Montgomery, Tay Garnett, Ernst Lubitsch, Herbert Marshall, Grace Moore. He knew nothing about Hollywood when he came, but he did ‘know about business—two degrees from the University of Chicago, five years in the Orient, three spent in business. He'd heard about Los Angeles, so he came to see if it were all true. He saw the three great industries: citrus fruits, oil and motion pictures. He chose the latter as offering least competition in his field, and settled down to a job for which, till then, there was absolutely no competition: that of No Man in a Yes Man’s Para- dise. Now a talk with a man like this ought to produce reams of copy about the foibles of Hollywood’s famous—but remember that this'Rex Cole is a SUCCESSFUL business manager. ‘If his clients uhighspotinyourday...

It's at——— PERCY’S ever do those little foolish things that make good stories, you won't hear about them from Cole. But he can—and may—tell you stories of plain and fancy chiseling, sharpshooting and conniving that he has witnessed in his years of watchdogging stellar treasuries. “The set-up in Hollywood is perfect for crooks, will always attract them,” he is sure. “Here we have a community where the collective earning power is staggering; the people earning these huge incomes are artists, hence often given to impulsiveness, often to emotional decisions. Many have risen financially from little to great income in space of two or three years, have never before given a thought to business matters. Added to this, there’s the equable climate, the close proximity of winter and summer sports to attract the gentleman crook between ‘deals” Could anything be finer—from the crook’s point of view? 9 “Many motion picture people have brilliant minds on matters outside their profession as well as within it, and are fully capable of keen business judgment; even these prefer to devote all their energies to their creative work, and haven't time for business de- tails. Others frankly admit they know nothing about business.

They “take” it, too, and agreeably. “If a client really wants to buy something, he can do it,” says Cole. “But usually by the time-he has come to me and talked it over he has had time to think and isn't making a spur-of-the- moment purchase he’ll regret later.” Cole-ism: “I believe in Santa Claus—after business hours.” o Juneau on the Northland from Southeast Alaska ports, Empire want adds pa:
