..the "Undies*Test proves how MAVIS guards your daintiness

You lure... you thrill ... when you are divinely dainty! For exquisite sweetness is the one thing a mail can't resist. And here's how you can play safe ... Every morning, shower your whole body with Mavis Talcum. It forms a fragrant, soothing film of protection that guards your daintiness. For, this amazing talcum

N has a special protective quality - it prevents excess perspiration. And here's a startling test that proves it. Tomorrow morning, cover your body with Mavis Talcum ... then, make the "undies" test at night. When you undress, examine your undies carefully. You'll be amazed to find that they are practically as sweet and fresh as when you put them on in the morning. Think what this means to your peace of mind - the freshness of your undies proves that all day long you've been safe from giving offense. And once you get the daily Mavis habit, you won't have to spend that tedious time washing out your undies every night. Instead - by using Mavis Talcum every morning - you can keep your undies immacu- late for an extra day, at least.

In the evening, too, use protective Mavis Talcum ... and be sure that you are exquisite always. Know that you have the bewitching, dainty fragrance that wins love ... holds love ... makes you utterly seductive and ravishing. Today buy Mavis Talcum - at all drug, toilet goods and lOt counters. Generous quantities in every size - 10¢, 25ç, 50¢ and $1. v. vtvAuoou, INC

It's made a world of difference in the looks of my teeth and smile!'' ANN: "You make good sense, darling. Guess there's just one thing to do -find out what Dr. Bowen tells me..." Don't let "Pink Tooth Brush" ruin your smile HEN you see "pink tooth brush" see your dentist. You may not be in for serious trouble, but let him decide. Usually, he'll tell you that yours is merely another case of neglected gums. Because so many modern foods are creamy and soft, they fail to give our gums the exercise they need. That's why so many dentists today advise "the healthful stimulation of Ipana with massage." For Ipana, with massage, is especially designed to help the gums as well as clean the teeth. Each time you brush your teeth, massage a little extra Ipana into your gums. As circulation increases within the gum tissues, gums tend to become firmer, healthier. Play safe! Change today to Ipana and massage. Help your dentist help you to sounder gums- brighter teeth -a lovelier smile! *

DOUBLE DUTY- Perfected with the aid cf over 1,000 dentists, Rubberset's Double Duty Tooth Brush is especially designed to make gum massage easy and more effective.

In the middle of an interview with a guest star, while the show was on the air, the guest asked Bing a question which wasn't in the script. Bing gulped, blushed, and finally drawled out an answer -in his natural tones, not in the stiff ones he always used when he read his lines from the script.

OUNG Edgar Bergren, on his way home from school, discovered something so wonderful that it frightened him a little. "Hello, Fuzzy," he had called to a pal who was batting a tennis ball against a sloping cellar door. " 'Lo, Skinny," the tennis enthusiast had answered to a third youngster across the street, who hadn't said a word! He had paid no attention to Edgar at all. And so Edgar had walked on home to the small white frame farm house on the outskirts of Decatur, Illinois, a little more slowly and thoughtfully than usual. He realized, now, that his voice had sounded sort of funny. He'd meant it to, in a way -that is, he'd con- sciously talked from his stomach, just as a joke. But he certainly hadn't expected his voice to sound as if it had come from ... well, from across the street. He banged the screen door and clumped through the plain -but very neat -"front hall," "parlor," and "back hall" to the kitchen, per- meated with the delectable fragrance of apple pie in the process of baking. " 'Lo, Mom," he said. "C'n I have some bread 'n' sugar ?" Mrs.-,Bergren greéted him quietly and without caress. A small, strong, practical woman born and raised in the stern fastnesses of the Swedish fiord country, she had never learned endearments and sweet words. But the slice of bread she cut him from the home -baked loaf was thick and crusty; the butter on top yellow and sweet; the coating of sugar lavish.

posing than a mere Sweden. He wasn't a bragging sort of kid, though, for all the Sweden -San Luis Ob- ispo incident. He was, on the contrary, shy, quiet, thoughtful. He played alone a good deal, his brother, Clarence, being just enough older not to want to be bothered with a kid "tagging along." But Edgar didn't mind. That round blond head of his was crammed so full of dreams and plans and projects- business as weighty and important as a League of Nations conference- that he never had time to be lonesome. He was, for instance, wild about electricity and what it could be made to do, and he had a flair for it, too. He was always wiring the house with various extra lights and switches. He rigged up an electrical appliance for his mother's churn which worked, too, for the first five :arnar! Goldwyn minutes. He set up all kinds of motors and dynamos in his "factory" in the woodshed, performing on them various remarkable, although for the most part use- less, feats. He built half a dozen complicated railway systems.

AS BROADCAST OVER NBC

With war and the threat of war occupy- ing the thoughts of the world, RADIO MIRROR feels that this address by Mrs. Roosevelt should reach every intelligent woman in the nation. First presented as part of a world -wide broadcast observing Interna- tional Day, under the auspices of the Inter- national Federation of Business and Prof es- sional Women, it is a concise program which women must follow if they do not wish their homes and their families to be de- stroyed by armed conflict.

THE role of women in the modern state seems to me to be primarily concerned with peace -peace at home and peace abroad. Women must realize of course that their ability to push a thing in which they have an interest is limited by their activity in different lines. I do not believe that men and women should be divided in their opportunities for education or in their rights as citizens before the law. I do believe that we 'must face the world as it is and recognize the fact that the functions of men and women are different and always will be, greater intelligent participation on the part of women and their points of view on certain subjects will be in many fields of activity.

Continuing its policy of fictioniz- ing the best in radio drama, RADIO MIRROR this month presents a dramatic story which first made its appearance as a play on a recent Vallee Hour. If you were lucky enough to hear it on that occasion, you will enjoy reading it now in its new form; if you missed it, you will agree with the editors of RADIO MIRROR that it can stand firmly on its own merits as a thrilling piece of fiction.

XANTIPPE daintily passed a pink tongue over one silky paw, and then lay back on her cushion, pretending not to know that she made a beautiful picture. The light from the open fireplace struck dusky highlights from her jetblack coat, turned the yellow of her half -open eyes into a warm, voluptuous gold. She fixed those eyes, unwaveringly, on her mistress. Xantippe liked no one and nothing, trusted no one and nothing in the world except Marion Borden. As for that man, Hugo, who clumped possessively about the house, she hated him as much as he hated her; and not being a hypocrite, she never attempted to conceal her private resolution to claw his eyes out if she ever got the chance. And Hugo would be home soon.

A few minutes later the hall door slammed open and shut, and Hugo Borden entered, followed by a tall young man with a pale face.

"Well -you two can get better acquainted while I put the car away. Make yourself at home, Allan!" They did not move until they heard the whir of the starter on the car outside. Then she was in his arms. Silently, Xantippe left her corner and returned to the cushion before the fire, to resume her unblinking stare. "Allan -he suspects!" Marion sobbed, suddenly losing all her hard -won self control. "Oh, I don't know," he tried to reassure her. "After all, it's not an uncommon thing for a man to bring a business associate home to dinner." "But he's so beastly jealous -he's never done it before. And that horrible forced joviality! It's so unlike him." "Well," Allan said soberly, "we've just got to play up. Behave as though we never saw each other before in our lives.

But James Kern Kyser, counsellor gave way to Kay Kyser, conductor because it is not in the North Caro- linian's benign nature to refuse anybody. The big prom dance at the Univer- sity of North Carolina, Kay's alma mater, had hired a big -name band to play for it. They never showed up. Listening to the appeals of his classmates, Kay and his six -piece orchestra filled the breech. Kay hasn't looked at a lawbook since.

Her first band assignment was with Hal Grayson. Though she loves spaghetti and eats it almost daily, she weighs only 90 pounds. Perhaps the reason why she has managed to become as permanent a fixture with the band as its swing quartette, is in her fervent statement: "I can swing with Benny twenty -four hours a day." * * *

At first, all visual broadcasts had to be conducted in a studio under a battery of super -powerful lights. But now outdoor television, under the normal light of the sun, is perfectly possible.

But there remains to be told the most startling advance of all -one that means you too can experience the thrills of pioneering. One of the old television myths was that it would take a year to fill an order for a receiving set. Yet today, many an amateur experimenter has in his possession a combination transmitter and receiver that costs less than two hundred dollars. The "AFTER A MATINEE of my latest "SHE WANTED TO BE an actress - device is designed by the National Broadway show, a friend brought his was understudying the star in another Union Radio Corporation and is sister to my dressing room to see me ... play.

Pri- marily, it's meant for the transmis- sion and reception of still pictures, but all it needs to become a full - fledged action television set is the substitution of a cathode ray tube for the monoscope tube with which it is equipped when it leaves the factory. With this ingenious kit, amateurs can not only receive pictures, but they can send them as well. They can, in fact, talk to each other over the air. They don't need any special license, other than the ordinary amateur station permit which is available through the Federal Communications Commission.

And yet their love, stripped of its tinsel a modern KODAK and glamour, as unpretentious and comforting as an old shoe, is too fine and too deep to ever find its way into books of fiction. It is, in truth, the very soul and backbone of this country, the simple, honest love of home and family that beats in the average American's breast. I've known Marion and Jim for a long time, and I've written quite a few stories about them. But always the one story I've wanted to write has eluded me, until now. I've always wanted to put in black and white just what a boundless, infinite thing I believe their love for each other to be. But Marion and Jim are basi- cally too much like you and me to be "good copy," too much like the average couple who live next door with their two children, whom you know so well. They don't wear their love on their sleeves, they don't race through mountains of flame to get to each other; they simplify matters by staying on the same side of the flame in the first place. Neither of them ever had to make a momentous decision in some hefty three cornered love triangle, because there just has never been any triangle. simple as all that, has been the AS love of Marion and Jim Jordan.

Well, folks were partly right. Some- times they didn't eat regularly. At that time, Jim was anything but a success. Things never came easily for Jim. He, like most of us, had to learn his art the hard way, by trial and error. But Marion stuck, and that's what kept him going.

Warden Lawes does not pretend that Sing Sing is entirely without abnormality. He does insist, however, that the percentage of abnormality there is not nearly as great as it is believed to be and not much if any greater than it is in many world centers. "The provocation for abnormality is greater when men are segregated from women, naturally," he admits. "But at Sing Sing the opportunity is lacking. For wherever the men go, whatever they do, they are under sur- veillance. There is no privacy in a prison, not even in the lavatories. It would be stupid to say that men never are able to slip off unobserved but this can't be done easily enough to be done very often. And at night every man is locked in his own cell, and guards patrol the blocks. "It is, however, possible that men in moments of extremity- resort -to adolescent habits." WARDEN LAWES spoke of those who, in the prison vernacular, are known as wolves. These men constitute a definite menace to prison morals and they are not looked upon with any indulgence. They observe a fit, young man when he arrives. But they wait for a little while, until they judge he has grown restless enough to be tempted, before they slip him a note inviting him to be their boy. "Those who have spent their youth in reform schools need special watching," Warden Lawes says. "They're likely to be willing and more than willing to satisfy their desires by any means at all. Familiar with various abnormal practises they have less disapproval or revulsion for them than other young men have.
