The streets of New Orleans are positively cluttered with them—in bright bandanas and girghams, with neat white aprons. For years no southern novel, play or movie has been complete with- out the heroine's “mammy,” prefer- ibly stout and fussy, with a heart of gold beneath an ebony skin. Shop >wners in New Orleans’ old French Quarter, capitalizing more and more on shoals of tourists, now are making Negro mammies part of their business. A shop Selling pralines, the de- licious confection of brown sug- ar and pecans, began it. Mammies n checked ginghams, wearing the raditional bandana headband, nade the pralines while visitors watched. A dummy mammy of cotton was placed outside the door. Then a praline shop across St. Peter Street went its rival one bet- er. It installed a real, live mammy, moking a corncob pipe. The idea :aught on, and now there are mam- mies, or stuffed cotton imitations, dl up and down the Quarter. —————— MADE CITIZEN In Federal Court late yesterday Johan Edvartsen Nordnes, former citizen of Norway, was admitted to citizenship in the United States.

Taking the first ride in Southern California’s waters yesterday, Clark expressed belief that the hazards of the 44-mile course had been greatly overrated. ‘The water is warmer, the air is warm and the aquaplane much im- vroved over those used in Alaska,’ declared Clark. “Whether or not the dark, curly- haired Alaskan boy can make his boast good remains to be seen, ac- cording to those who watched him ride.
