The section built up a reputa-

cally anything. For instance, aftei
one rugged problem. MaJ. Otha
Robinson, the division signal of-
ficer, discovered that he had tom
a somewhat embarrassing hole in
his coveralls and that he had come
into the field without a needle.
Tilga made a needle for the

The 'zfmic

ency-increasing device, Tilga
DOES invent 'em.
The 30-year-old. iturdily built,
blond, blue-eyed radio expert has
had an unusually colorful back-
ground.
Tilga is an Estonian Born In
Tallinn, he wa* orphaned * at an
early age. and, as a lad still in
his teens, went into the Estonian
navy. It was while serving as a
Ur in that little-known but active
fleet that he developed an Inter-
est in wireless.
Upon completion of his naval
service he went to sea as a wire-
less operator in Scandinavian mer-
chant ships, rising to the post of
first radio officer. He was on Ihe
European-South American and
European-Far Eastern runs for
nearly ten years, both in passeu-
ger ships and freighters.
Travelled Widely
From Rio to Bombay, from Oslo
to Capetown, from London to
Shanghai. Tilga. who spent all of
his shore leave in travel, learned
the customs and the language and
the characterisliea of many coun-
tries.
, He became one of the fastest
operators afloat. Even though he's
a little out of practice, it's still no
trick for Tilga to handle 40 words
a minute by the dit-da route,
which, as any ham will tell you,
is really something.
The amiable Estonian bad long
desired to tour the United
States, and was in the process of
fulfilling that wish when he was
drafted in 1041, a little over two
months after he entered thia coun-

Fans Approve Change
The list could go on and on. but
these few actresses make good ex
ample* because each of them now
is engaged in some highly pur-
poseful or strictly non-glamorous
endeavor The times and the pub-
lic are responsible.
Toward the end ofithe last war.
if you remember, movies dissolv-
ed into shallow, gaudy escapadist
films—which were Just what the
essatomers wanted. Producers and
writers say that todav the public
is a lot more thoughtful. Looking
ahead soberly to reconstruction
and adjustment of the world, peo-
ple are Inclined to be more in-
terested in honest pictures about
personalities who have done or
are accomplishing important
things
Thus Madame Curie — a role
that Greer Garson recently com-
pleted The actress won't win any
pin-up awards with that one. but
she s getting more fan mail than
moet of the oomph queens. Her
current assignment is "Mrs. Park-
tngton." from Louis Bromfield’s
lusty story of the empire builders,

Actresses themselves don't like
playing frivolous females in these
times, and that * the main reason

personating Sister Elizabeth Ken-

infantile paralysis
"I consider Sister Kenny and
Madame Chlang Kai Chek the two
mates! women in the world.”
Miss Russell says "1 had a com-
mitment at RKO and I told Pro-
ducer David Hempstead I wanted
the picture to be a film version of
Sister Kenny s book. And They
Shall Walk.’ They thought I w«
crazy, but they bought the story'
for me. It gives me the chance to

Forget the old superstition
about the stage of tjie moon when
planting white potatoes. Garden-
ers may be assured that it doesn't
matter 1o the health and growth
of potatoes whether they are
planted in light or dark of the
moon The condition of the soil
is much more important than
whether the moon is overhead or
down under. Rich earth not moon-
beams grow good potatoes.
It doesn't matter either where
the eye points when the seed po-
tato is dropped into the hill. Eyes
up — down — or sidewise — the
sprouts wriil grow upward and pro-
duce new potatoes Just be sure
that the soil is well prepared and
rich at planting time because po-
tatoes respond to fertilizer and
good care
During the period of sprouting
and early growth potato plants
live almost entirely on the food
material in the seed pieces For
