Although Eleo Sears is the Grand Old Girl of squash, she can still tire out the average youngster. One morning last week, when she had no match scheduled, she played nine straight games with hard-hitting, 20-year-old Hope Knowles (who later won the tournament). Five games is enough to wind most women squash players, but Eleo said she was not even warmed...
...cinemillions had already unanimously voted that Clark Gable must play Rhett Butler. Selznick also bowed to them when he cast Olivia de Havilland as sweetish, big-eyed, thrushlike Melanie Hamilton, Leslie Howard as smooth, anemic, intellectual Ashley Wilkes, Laura Hope Crews as futile, flustered foolish Aunt Pittypat.

...years ago, Dr. Edwin William Schultz of Stanford University tried to protect 5,000 Toronto school children against the disease by flushing their noses with antiseptic zinc sulfate solution. The experiment, said Dr. Schultz in the new Bulletin, was a flat failure. But doctors still think nasal sprays a hopeful idea, hope some other chemical may prove more effective than zinc sulfate...
