SO widely known are the benefits which Forhan's brings to mouths marked by the effects of age, that another impor- tant function of this dentifrice is sometimes overlooked.

It is so pure, it is so mild and cleansing, that this "dentists' dentifrice" is ideal for children.

Young teeth need exceptional care. Fully 85% of all molars coming through the gums contain tiny surface cracks or fis- sures—the breeding place of future trouble unless they are watchfully cleaned with a safe dentifrice, and checked also by your dentist.

Health authorities also recommend that you clean and mas- sage the gums, even of infants, and urge that children's gums receive regular care.

And care of the gums is the other function of Forhan's. dentifrice a dentist, This was developed by R. J. Forhan, D.D.S. He prepared a dentifrice which gives the teeth a wonderfully gentle and thorough cleansing—and claims to do nothing more for the teeth. But he added another benefit which his practice had shown him was important—the benefit of a preparation used everywhere by dentists in the care of the gums. In fact, this treatment for the gums, also originated by Dr. Forhan, was the starting point of his excellent dentifrice.

Use Forhan's in the mouth of youth—and to keep the mouth of youth into middle age. When teeth are sound and gums

are healthy is the time to adopt this excellent dentifrice. Let it cleanse the teeth and add its help to the care of the gums.

Used with massage at the time of brushing, it livens circula- tion, and aids the gums to stay young and firm.

NOW ON THE AIR! New Forhan's program—featuring Evangeline Adams, world-famous astrologer—every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday at 7:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time—Columbia Network.

"if the woman eminent position he occupies in the world It was in order to learn this secret and is willing to give freely and generously of the theatre. Every beautiful girl who her views on marriage in general, that of the best she has to give. 24

"You know," she smiled good- naturedly, "I have been frequently criticized for putting marriage up to the woman. But while I believe that like in every human relationship, each has to give up something for the other; yet, in marriage, it is the woman who

has to give a little more. Marriage is primarily her job, and she has it more in her power, than man has, to make it a success. It is she who is more responsible for their mutual peace and happiness.

LN EVERY successful marriage, you will find that the man depends upon the woman. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She has conscientiously made herself an essen- tial part of his life without any physical or sex attraction. The wives of our famous men have always been known to have fortified their husbands with that kind of devotion. "But why speak of the little bit more that woman must do when today she isn't even doing her share? The mod- ern American wife has been so pam- pered and spoiled that she has become a rather selfish person. She expects a happy marriage to be handed her with her wedding ring. She rarely thinks of her obligations and responsibilities to her marriage, but rather what it is she

can get out of it. The American wife is given more than the woman of any other country, and she gives hardly any- thing in return. She doesn't even try to see what she can do to make her marriage a happy one, but at the first sign of any difficulty, begins to think of a divorce. "And yet, why should a woman ex- pect happiness from marriage without putting her shoulder to the wheel and working for it? No- body is entitled to happiness. It must be earned. "Love, in the be- ginning, may be a flaming passion. But as that burns out, there must be de- veloped in its place the strong, deep love that comes from an enrichening compan- ionship. That is wrought only by self-sacrifice, pa- tience, tolerance, and faith. The love that comes from it thrives in spite of hardships and ob- stacles, and not even the passing of the years can destroy

Christiana Maples (above) current beauty of Smiles. it." Miss Burke (right) at time of her debut. She paused for a 25

moment and then continued thoughtfully: "Life nowadays demands so much from a man and he is constantly under such a nervous strain in his battle for existence, that he needs a good deal of encourage- ment and praise if he is to be able to do his work. A woman, therefore, must strive to be a stimulus and a cheer leader to her husband, rather than a drag on him. She must feed his pride and his courage with her faith and her love. She must be generous with her sympathy and inter- ested in the things he does. She must try in every way to make his path easier and his home life attractive so that his mind and spirit are refreshed. "That is why I believe that marriage is a full time job and one which, like any other career, demands unceasing effort. Any work that the wife does on the outside must be subordinate to her marriage. If it is the type of work that requires all of her attention and energy, she must be willing to give it up if she marries. If she tries to cheat her mar- riage by giving only part of herself, she will find that it is she who has been the loser. For her husband will not be long in turning to some other woman who thinks he is important enough to be placed before her own individual inter- ests. Such a woman will arouse a greater devotion and sense of loyalty in him than any part-time wife can.

WHAT is needed today is not a new type of marriage institution, Kke trial marriage and companionate mar- riage, but only a little more common sense about matrimony. Husbands and wives must realize that they cannot have complete freedom and independence and a happy marriage. Both are incompat- ible. Each must trim down the sharp edges of individuality and each must try to get the other person's point of view. Each must give up some- thing. But selfish- ness seems to be the quicksand in which marriage is flounder- ing today." Mrs. Ziegfeld was asked what are the particular things hus- band and wife must do in their daily living to make their union more harmonious.

"First of all, they should be polite to each other," she an- swered. "I can't un- derstand why courtesy should be given to one's friends and to one's business asso- ciates and employees, Recent portrait of the famous Billic Burke.

A new force has been discovered—a social force which must be reckoned

with in the onward sweep of civilization, and which is second only to the printing press in its far-reaching in- fluence."

In an editorial published in the September issue of this magazine entitled "Radio Can Kill War" we proposed a number of definite methods whereby Radio can be em- ployed to develop good will among the people of the nations located in every part of the world and we discussed at the same time how Radio can be used simultaneously to develop universal anti-war psychology. Many of the suggestions made in this editorial are already being carried out and

there is every indication that the movement will be materi- ally accelerated within less than a year.

In an editorial in the October issue of this magazine en- titled "Radio Is Destroying Old Social Barriers," we pointed out how the so-called "country brethren" are being brought into intimate contact with those people, those events and that knowledge which has long been considered the exclusive province of the socially elite when society standards are founded primarily upon wealth. We indicated

that Radio is steadily fostering a new conception of social

cars. Radio, in the right, is mightier than might. Within the last few years an evil, not entirely new in Ray Bill nature, has beset the business and political life of America to an extent never before dreamed possible. Even judges have been drawn into the mire of modern racketeering and conditions have now reached such a point in many of our largest metropolitan centers that the very foundations of our Constitution are menaced. Something must be done soon or the respectable elements will be driven into a sub- ordinate position not only in business and in politics, but in every-day living. Unfortunately, so few people are wholly or even partially conscious of the far reaching ex- tent of modern rackets that they are sitting idly in a state of so-called blissful ignorance.

Something must be done to arouse the public from its lethargy. Nothing of importance can or will be done until the public at large becomes emotionally excited. The re- sponsibility to save America from its latest and most in- sidious parasite, the racketeer, is squarely up to the press and to Radio. Thus far the press as a whole has been sadly lacking in initiative, courage and thoroughness. Radio has been no better. The objective is not one for rivalry between the two mediums. It is very definitely one for cooperative effort along all possible lines. But in the ex- pose and driving out of rackets and racketeers the press and Radio can serve themselves and the public best by being good pacemakers for each other.

Who today, for instance, is publishing or broadcasting the facts regarding the toll which is being paid by many gasoline filling stations to racketeers, a toll which generally

amounts to $1.00 per week per man and which is paid only on threat of murder, arson or physical damage to private 62 ohn arland

They call it the Golden State Blue Monday Jamboree out on the Coast, but is it blue? Emphatically no!

"Mac" Henry McClintoch, the Grand Old Man of the West Coast, seems to be a trifle puzzled. But we warrant he's not stumped, for Mac and his guitar were on the air in the days when broadcasting was in its swaddling clothes. They say he can't sing without his ten gallon hat handy!

We don't know whether or not Juanita Tennyson (below) is related to the poet, but her songs are as moving as his ballads, and she is known as the "per- fect Radio soprano".

Robert Olsen, the handsome tenor on the left, has helped make Blue Monday bright for three years now. Hazel Warner, on the right, is a

crooning contralto . . . many of her letters are addressed to "The Sweetest Voice on the Air".

95 A UKELELE STRUMMING LORELEI

May Singhi Breen claims that she has an indefinable something that attracts fish, but Peter de Rose says no, he is an expert fisherman. The discussion took place while the popular couple, featured on NBC programs, were on a fishing trip on Twin Lake, N. Y., with a party of friends. One morning May and Peter put out in a canoe to try their luck. But the fish wouldn't bite. May, tiring of the sport, picked up her ukulele, which she had brought along, and began playing. Three of the strings immediately snapped. Peter was elected to do some- thing about it, and in the spirit of fun, substituted some of the fishing line on the instrument. The plan worked better than either of them had expected, and May con- tinued her strumming. Soon the fish began biting from all sides. The bot- tom of the canoe was filled with choice catches. They rowed triumphantly back to shore to find that other mem- bers of the party, who had been out longer than they, didn't have a fish to show for their efforts. May insists that it was her playing that lured the fish, and not any re- markable skill on the part of her fish with husband. May Singhi Breen allures the her uke

RADIO broadcasting is going on to bigger and better things. First came "- the announcement of the huge Radio City in New York and now Chicago can boast of a super-station which has been erected on top of the world's largest building, the Merchandise Mart. Here are a few statistics that show the magnitude of the project. The new station is two stories in height; comprises more than 66,000 square feet; contains six stu- dios, four of which are two stories high and plans are completed for additional studios when needed. More than 56,000 square feet of sound- proof material was used in the construction TELEVISION WIZARDS of the studios; there are more than 95 Dr. August Karolus, German television expert and University of Leipzig professor, left, and light fixtures in the studios and more than Dr. E.
