A major manufac- turer of cheap cars has been using soybeans in paint and to make steer- ng wheels and dashboard gadgets for several years. And today's industrial markets for farm products are only a prel- ude to the future as chemists and engineers see it. But there still remains'a pound of waste for every pound of wheat, corn or cotton used in the factory or on the farm, says Dr. Henry G. Knight, who will direct Uncle Sam’s laboratory search for new farm markets. Farm surpluses glut the markets in bumper crop years.

Iv was the old paper wad, Scribner says, whieh deflected shot and caused holes in the shot pattern. The new shell has been issued in trap and skeet sizes, and field shells will soon be .on the market, . nmmo’mmwmmmwmu THE WEATHER (By the U. 8.

Holden, Ann Ritherford, Sara Haden, Virginia Grey, Minor Watson, John King, Halliwell Hobbes. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 4—This week, when all studios held back on their major new offerings, affords an opportunity to give the clan of Hardy something of its due. It is a sturdy clan, more than holding its own in competition with the movie Joneses (originators of the “family serfes” films), and it began, like the Joneses, from a single feature based on a stage play. For the Hardys, turned the trick. Released as “A Family Affair,” this story established the Hardys as a group to be reckoned with—even though it was six months before Metro did any more reckoning. “A Family -Affair’ was not big box-office, but it whispered things to exhibitors, and. the ex- hibitors wrote in. | . ‘The ‘Hardys (slightly revised in personnel) came forth ‘in “You're Only Young Once’—and after that they were a series. Lewis Stone had taken' Lionel Barrymore’s Judge Hardy role, and Fay Holden replaced Spring Byington (still the Jones mamma)-as the Hardy mother. Julie Haydon, the “big sister,” was married off in the first and has not been replaced. Mickey Rooney and Cecilia Parker have continued through all of .the six.pictures now com- pleted. Biggest moneymaker: “Love Finds Andy Hardy,” which was also Metro’s biggest profit last year. it was Aurania Rouverol's “Skidding” that The Hardys are a substantial, respected, middle-class family in the little town of Carvel—and from picture to -picture they are made to do the things and live the way thousands of families over the ommtry Know, whieh is'the secret of their appeal.

Marian (Cecilia Parker) defies her conscience by buying a $265 evening igown. . Mother ¢Holden) shops and shops, but ends up by 'buying only antfron frying pan. Aunt Milly deserts her plain schoolteacherish modes for dignified smartness, gets giddy over a friendly, smooth-talking, bumptious ‘salesman. ‘And -Andy, faithful to'his family attitude toward cigarettes and liquor, has a hard time actually being a “man of the World,” especially when faced with a live chorus girl (Virginia Grey). Judge Hardy (Stone) meets his supreme test when he dis- covers proof-the money really shouldn’t be theirs—and then the family, back in Carvel, rallies around to resume the old substantial, respeeted, middle-class life. The early reels are frequently hilarious, wmx an gratify- ingly/over-acting all his adolescent reactions to wealth, while Stone, for all that; presents the best, most solid performance. The film— probably because the 'loss of $2,000,000.is hard to take even on the screen—sags from that point and finishes on a not-so-funny, because forced, exchange between Andy and: gm-(zknd Polly (Ann Rutherford). The. Hardys, rest assured, are all noble about . not. getting.the money after all. In fact, they're too noble to be real. Despite this disappointment, the new. picture .has much .to endear it to audiences. It Isn'ttup-notchfllrdy butwmdounwthene:tom -
