FOX THEATER OFFERS
GLADYS BROCKWELL

One of the greatest dramatic hits
of the year, ITO Honor and Obey,
will be the fea ture of the Fox theater
program for tonight and tom orrOw.
This, in which Gladys Brockwell, the
popular star of "The Honor System
and many other big Fix successes tells
the gripping story of a woman's m ost
vital life-problem in a fascinating way
that is totally different from any other
picture that has ever been produced.
In fact originality is the mark of the
whole production, and Miss BrockWell
whose fame for creating unusual roles
is widespread, reaches the climax of
her successful career in ITO Honor
and Obey" another laughable mix-up
of the Newlyweds as impersonated by
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will be the
comedy feature of the program, and
interesting views of wide interest will
be shown by the new Ford Weekly.
A picture that will undoubtedly be
hailed with delight by local picture
fanciers is "Clover's Rebellion the
feature attraction for Wednesday and
Thursday. This is the latest produc-
ton in which the screen-idol Anita
Stewart appears. Immediately after
the completion of "Clover's Rebellion"
Miss Stewart suffered a nervous break
down, which was brought on through
the strenuous work involved in the
making Of the picture.

SIDE TALKS
Temperament Tragedies
By RUTH CAMERON

There are few things sadder to me
than to see two close relatives to-
gether who have an unfortunate eff
feet on each other.
am thinking just now of moth
err and daughter.
people when you meet them individ-
ually, people reasonably easy to get
along with. The mother is some
what domineering but she is very
kind hearted and has hosts of friends.
The daughter Is rather obstinate
but she is quiet and resttul, IN many
ways an ideal housemate.
They just Clash.
And yet if you saw these people
together and never saw them apart,
you would think what disagreeaple,
irritable people they were.
Each transforms the other into
another persons. The mother be-
comes critical. nagging, interfering,
the daughter bad tempered and unbe-
lievably rude.
The daughter appears the worst
both because her mothers eXasper-
ating interferences are always made
with kind intent and because the
things the daughter filings out at
her mother are in such wretched
taste.
I think it always offends us to have
a child speak rudely to it's parent
even when we sympathize with the
state Of mind that caused the rude
ness.
If Either is to Blame.
And yet the mothers temperament
is just as much to blame for the lacli
of harmony between the two as the
daughter'A. That is if one should
talk about blame at all in such cases

When making cornmeal mush, stir

An addition to iced tea or lemon
AIDE is fresh mint chopped.
A hot-water bottle can be patched
with a piece of adhesive tape.
There is no difference in food
value between white and yellow corn
meal.
White bread may be made with
25 per cent of cornmeal to save the
flour.
Rinse the face now and then in
salt water and the complexion will be

In summer it is best to clean and
dry the bread box every morning.
This prevents the bread from mould
