HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
Shirley Temple’s successor has
been found and it is believed that
20th Century-Fox is going to
groom eight-year-old Ann Todd
in roles originally scheduled for
Miss Temple before her retire
ment from the picture business.
Hollywood’s loss is England’s
gain—both Laurence Olivier and
Vivien Leigh have been called
back to England by the Minister
of Propaganda to do their part
in the War (probably in the en
tertainment field).
When you see that epic of the
present-day European war “Four
Sons” you’ll agree with all of
Hollywood that the actress who
played the mother Eugenie Leon
tovich walks away with acting
honors—she is really great. Dar
ryl Zanuck is going to star her
in a story of a mother entitled |
“We Who Gave.”
Stooge Number 222 reports
that the Ann Sheridan-George
Brent romance is hotter than a
firecracker—And that the Norma
Shearer-George Raft heart trou
ble is cooling—he was seen at the
opening of Hollywood’s own race
track with Clark Gable’s former
wife.
NEW SURVEY SHIP
IN ALASKA WATERS
The Explorer, newest and larg
est vessel of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, is
now at work in the Aleutians,
mapping those waters in search
of a shorter steamship route to
the Orient.
Costing $1,250,000, the Explor
er is a 220-foot vessel. She will
be in Alaska until mid-October,
working some 200 miles west of
Unalaska. Capt. J. H. Peters has
18 officers and 72 men aboard the
l,50O-ton, white-hulled ship.
PLANE HALTS BEFORE HOME
NEAR FAIRBANKS AIRPORT
Last Friday, William J. Hunter
Jr., Fairbanks architect, stared
with eyes agog when a 10-passen 1
ger PAA Pigrim broke from a
take-off, swooped back to earth,
bounded across Gillam Way,
leaping two roadside ditches, and
dragged to a jerking halt 10 feet
from the front door of his house
at the east find of the city air
port, the Fairbanks News-Miner
reports.
Shaken with fear, but totally
unharmed was Mrs. Dorsh, a nei
ghbor, who scurried about in the
yard in direct path of the big
ship, trying to shoo her own two
year-old son, A1 Jr., and the dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter,
18-months-old Mona Lee, to saf
ety.
The plane was at a dead stand
still however, before the woman
and chidren were in actual dan
ger.
Pilot Herman Joslyn, accom
panied by Mechanic Fred Moller
were test-hopping the plane after
a motor repair jop when the nar
row squeak occurred. PAA offic
ials said the “motor wasn’t quite
ready,” forcing the pilot to
ground his ship when the engine
stopped in mid-takeoff.

EFFECTS OF WAR ON
BIRTH RATE IS TOI.D
NEW YORK — The present Eu
ropean war, being waged almost
exactly a generation after the
first World War, will have grave
repercussions on population. The
generation now about to be born
in Europe will suffer greatly in
numbers as a result of the.double
blow dealt in the time of their
fathers and grandfathers.
This tragic effect of the two
major European wars is pointed
out by the statisticians of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, who explain that the brunt
of the present conflict is being
borne by young men in their 20’s
whose numbers fall far short of
normal, because birth rates drop
ped a generation ago when sol
diers of these and even younger
ages were engaged at the front.
“And the same situation will
follow the present war, they say
for some damage already has
been done, no matter how soon
hostilities may end. And even if
the war were to end immediately
so great has been the strain on
the accumulated resources of Eu
| ropean peoples because of the
tremendous costs of the prepara
tion for it and actual operations
even for this brief period, that
Europe, the statisticians say, can
not escape severe economic re
percussions which will be reflect
ed, as in the past, in her birth
rate.
"A long war will mean a pov
erty-stricken continent, with an
extremely high proportion of old
persons, and of women in the
j prime of life, either widowed or
condemned to spinsterhood and
childlessness.
“Like two hammer blows, tim
ed with ill-fated precision for the
greatest effect,” the statisticians
say, “the two major European
wrars of this century have come
just about one generation apart,
striking fathers, children and
children’s children. And this is
not merely a figure of speech; it
is a record written deep in the
j ranks of the population of the
i warring countries.
! As an example the statisticians
J point out that the French cen
sus of 1921 showed that children
! of age four were no more nu
merous than men and women of
65, although normally these child j
ren should have outnumbered j
the elders two to one. Further-1
more as a result of military loss
es the male population at prac- j
tically every age in the 20's and
3fi’s were equaled or outnumber
ed by men at each age in the 40’s.
In contrast, French women show
ed the gradual decline in num
ber with advancing age, which
is characteristic of the normal
age distribution. There was con
sequently a “relative surplus of I
women in a broad age range |
which covers the most productive .
period of life, and a definite in- i

crease in the proportion of older
persons particularly of men."
“This trend to an increasing
proportion of older persons has
been reinforced,” the s'atisticians
says, “by the decline in the
birth rate in the interval be
tween the two wars. The present
war tends to give this trend still
further impetus. For the genera
tion which now would normally
be responsible for the greater
number of births consists, in
large part of men and women
born during or soon after the last
war, whose number were dis
tinctly subnormal, and the men
of this group will be depleted
still further by the present con
flict.
“Although the number of cas
ualties has thus far been relative
ly small, the mere withdrawal of
millions of men from civilian
life acts as an effective check on
the birth rate. '
“War, a grave disaster at any
time, is doubly so when it oc
curs on a large scale in the inter
val of one generation. Precisely
this lias happened in Europe. The
current war threatens, therefore,
to put off, for many decades, a
recovery of normal balance of
the population in the countries
engaged.”

Four distinct remedies are pro
