I ;’s fortunate for Evelynne!
DTmith, famous veteran Hollywood !
stu it girl, that actor Howard Duff
is n stalwart individual.
A miscue of a rehearsal for a
scene in Universal-International's
“Shakedown,” now at the Capitol
Theatre, might have resulted in
crippling injuries for Miss D'Smith
i had Duff not been close at hand and
constructed along the general lines
of a well-trained athlete.
"Shakedown” stars Duff with
Brian Dnnlevy, Peggy Dow, Law
rence Tierney and Bruce Bennett
in addition to introducing French
actress Anne Vernon.
The stunt girl stood on a window
sill of a burning building two stories
high and waited for her cue to leap
into a life net held by firemen on
the sidewalk below.
In his role of free-lance photog
rapher Howard Duff was supposed
•o shoot a picture of the leaping
stunt girl in mid-air. The fire
men were preparing the life net
some distance away when a crew
member, answering another crew
member on an altogether different
matter, said, “Okay, kid."
The stunt girl, blinded by smoke
pouring from the lower windows,
thought it was a cue from director
Joe Pevney. Miss D’Smith leaped |
from the window. Duff, who had I
been idly watching the preparations
for the scene, saw Evelynne leap. |
Taking in the situation in a split
second and obeying his reflexes
rather than taking time to think,
the alert actor sprang to a point
beneath the falling stunt girl
quicker than the eye could follow his
actions.

“Honestly, now
aren’t gasoline
prices too high?”
Everyone who can remember what things used
to cost only ten or twenty years ago may well think
of those times as “the good old days.” Recalling them,
and the extreme bargains offered during tfie depres
sion, people have asked Standard such questions as
“Honestly, now—aren't gasoline prices too high?”
In answer to a question like that, Standard asks
you to consider the broad situation. All prices
$ should be kept as low as possible. But in judging
wbat’s “too high,” let’s see what’s happened:

Price comparisons—1926 and 1951
Let’s look back on those “good old days”—to
1926, a fairly normal year. Since then, most prices
have varied greatly. By 1951, farm products cost
over twice as much as in 1926, groceries and cloth
ing about two-thirds more. But in 1951, gasoline

HOW have gas prices been kept from getting
“too high”? Partly through improvement in refin
ing methods, developed by big companies’ research.
We’ve learned to get more gas out of every barrel
of crude. (And it’s better gas; 2 gallons now do
work that took 3 only 25 years ago.)
costs almost as little as it did in 1926—actually up
less than 4%, except for taxes, now 6(* to a gal
lon in the West. Most people’s income has gone up
enough in those years so that gasoline takes a far
smaller share of their budget. So gasoline today—
far from being “too high”—is an exceptionally
good buy. See how and why this has come about—

| Kid ought to get back to the soil.
Farming can offer fine opportun
f itics lo boys and girls who like the
outdoors and are willing to learn
and work the soil. So says hand
some Dick Sprawls, a champion
swqet potato grower from South
Carolina.
It can pay off. too, says 15-year
old Dick, who raised 328 bushels of
No. 1 yams on his acre plot in the
annual 4-H 'contest conducted by
Clemson College. Along with ten
other young prize winners he re
cently enjoyed a trip to New York
as a reward for his labors as the
guest of a chain of food stores. Be
sides. his sweet potatoes sold at a
*2.75 a bushel, putting a nice little
piece of change for college in his
piggy bank.
Dirk wouldn’t necessarily suggest
you raise sweet potatoes as your
first crop, if you do decide to ex
periment. As a matter of fact, you’d
eat your sweet potatoes, by gosh,
if you knew all the work a fellow
puts in growing them. Says Dick:
“Sweet potatoes like to be planted
in a high bed, quit* some distance
apart When harvested they must
be handled like eggs because they
bruise easily. Then they must be
put in a heated building at about
85 degrees until the cure begins.
They are left two weeks, then put at
50 degrees in another buiRling.”
Lots of young moderns who have
been baby sitting would be well
trained for nursing sweet potatoes
along, but it is best to start your
farming with a simple vegetable
garden, suggests Dick.
Right now Dick, who lives on 450
acres in Barnwell county, expects
a hydrogen plant to move in and it
is pot sible he and his family will be
looking for another farm. But he’ll
continue to grow sweet potatoes no
matter what.
Dick's main objective is to be
a veterinarian. He loves dogs
and horses, in particular and
thinks he could make a real career
out of being a veterinarian in his
own section of the county. That is
another career young people might
give a thought to, suggests Dick.
A Hollywood screen star Just said
a mouthful when she gave this ad
vice to girls:
“Women are Just plain silly if
they don't dress to please their
menfolk."
Often you know you will buy a
hat or suit or a dress just because
your girl friend likes it. Actually
that is the wrong way to shop. Men
have definite ideas about clothes
and since usually you are selecting
a hat or a gown to please a man
why not buy it with his tastes in
mind?
Men like frilly hats when they
look feminine. On the other hand
they do not like dizzy or silly hats
They like hats which have a tailored
look, and which, strangely enough
resemble mannish styling. But they
do not like any outrage which re
sembles a tailored style and is' dec
orated with bows or lace or veiling.
They like dresses which give a
smart line to the figure, but they
do not like exaggerated V-dip neck
lines or off-the-shoulder gowns
which expose the bosom. They like
feminine looking gowns which are
in good taste as well as they admire
chic, •well-tailored mannish suits. If
you attempt a tailored suit, however,
choose clean smooth lines.
If you dress to suit your type,
that is half the battle. Ruffles might
look lovely on the girl who is un
sophisticated, but if you are the
sophisticated type, stick to the line
wtiich best becomes you.
A man’s pet hate, from all we can
gather at this point, is the so-called
babushka — that square piece of
silk or cotton or other fabric which
resembles a table-cloth which is
quickly thrust over the head in an
emergency.
There is nothing attractive about
that kind of headgear. There could
bo something attractive about a
similar type of headgear which
would offer protection in stormy
weather, without making the wearei
look like a peasant girl. But.these
either are not available, or girl!
have not accepted them.
The same holds true — as it ha:
for generations — there fs nothing
like a hat to make you look like
a lady. Select it wisely and that Is
an achievement in itself.

'Broken Arrow'
Great Movie at
20th Century
Distinguished as much by its
theme as by its talent, ns much by
its action as by its beauty, "Broken
Arrow,” now at the 20th Century
Theatre, leaves the line of njerely
superior motion pictures that en
hance any given movie year and
finds its natural place in that circle
of excellence that is reserved for the
perfection of any craft.
Its greatness is in some measure
explained by its elements. "Broken
Arrow” is a movie that is outspoken
in theme and forthright in the cour
age of its convictions. Telling of
war and hatred typifying the bitter
Indian-white relations in Arizona of
the 1870’s, it described how an ad
venturer with a conscience, named
Tom .Jeffords and portrayed rug
gedly by James Stewart, defied the
conventions of his time to form a
lasting friendship with the renowned
warrior chief Cochise, magnificently
enacted by Jeff Chandler.
It is this friendship that comes
to serve as the basis for a new con
cept of Indian-white affairs, truly
reflective of the American traditions
of justice, tolerance and dignity for
all men.
In the midst of this historic ad
venture, Jeffords encounters a
lyrical love affair with a sensitive
Indian girl. Sonsceahray, tenderly
played by Debra Paget. This poig
nant, idyllic romance culminates in
a heartbreaking scene that will
surely rank among the great inter
ludes of screen romance.
Skillfully, “Broken Arrow” com
bines the pageantry and the poetry
that make up its ser.ous, right
minded presentation of a vital chap
ter in our history. Its greatest vir
tue is that the theme is always in
terpreted through action, through
the drama inherent in the adven
tures of Jeffords and Cochise, ad
ventures forged in fire and resolved
in reform. There is no soft under
playing of the terror of Indian war,
and no movie fan accustomed more
to skirmishes than battle will miss
the spectacle of full-scale engage
ment. When peace comes, and old
enemies shuffle menacingly but
peacefully by one another, the new
civilization of Indian-white rela
tionship takes on its full meaning.
