YOU SHOULD WORRY
 FEATURES THE LEE -"K|DS' AT LOE WIS
The Most Fascinating Kids in Moyiedom Are Going to Conduct a Matrimonial
 Agency

Ps.sd-aS@rs, fortune hunters, bank burglars -sAeyra all the same to Jane and, Katherire. The Fox Baby Brands" put them to rout with equal ease in -s-e1f rc.Sd-fire photo-comedy, We S-nould Worry" which is every bit as impish and delightful as the title inn plies. at Loew's Biiou Monday, Tues day and Wednesday,
 From to 6O no one is ever too young or too old to laugh at the hu- morous antics or be thrilled when it 'ssomes to making pompous people look just what most of them are-ridiculous. And they do them to a beautiful brown in "We Should Worry"
 Jane and Katherine have proved con- clusively that dramatic talent has ab- solutely nothing to do with inches or avoirdupois. Both the little stars to- gether weigh less than most screen stars alone, vet their fame outweighs that of almost any two players before the public. [
 The scope of their appeal is perhaps their biggest asset, so far as the ex- hibitor is concerned The subjects that they produce are always magneticalry attractive for the whole family. This cannot be emphasized too strongly. When you play We Should Worryn' you should lay great stress on that point in all of your advertising and publicity material and in every medium at your command. The supporting company in this as in other pictures, consists of grown-ups with established regulations in the stage and screen world. The story of We Should Wor- ry!' deals chiefly with the efforts of Jane and Katherine as a self-constl- tuted committee on choosing a husband for the young and pretty aunt with whom they live. There is long list of aspirants for her hand. The chil- dren look them over carefully and choose the most worthy. Then they start campaign to eliminate the un- desirahles, which results in some of the most amusing scenes ever shown on the screen This is the greatest offering the Lee Kids have ever put over and will be a scream from start to finish. It will be at Boew's Bijou for three days, beginning Monday.

After simple wedding ceremony,
where the bride and her attendants
have worn suits and hats it is Gus
tomary for the women to, keep on their
hats at the wedding breakfast which
follows.
May.-It is entirely permissible Tor
a lady to ask to "sit out" a dance. She
may say to her partner: eff you do

Would you mind sitting this dance
out?"
Constant Reader-Your acquatn-
tances only show their poor breeding
and thoughtlessness in passing com
ments in your hearing on your gen
tleman friend. The fact that he is
foreign-born and possibly not entirely

friendships for him. Remember,

TRAINING Girl
WORKERS TO TAKE
CARE OF HEALTH

While every effort is being made
by the government to conserve the
health Of the soldiers and sailors, the
girl who is doing her 'fbit' of war
work clerking in government Office
is being instructed in the care of her
health. Because many of the tenn
porary buildings have no elevators
she is being taught how to climb
stairs with ease. This advice in
cludes even the how and why of
climbing aboard a street car prop
erly The explanation of posture in
its relation to human efficiency is
made by Miss Marguerite Sander
son, in charge of the vocational aids
of the Division on Reconstruction of
the Army Medical Department.
Stand up straight and sit up
straight" Miss Sanderson tells the
army of girl workers. when you
stand, think of touching your five toes
of each foot to the floor. Think of
spreading them out as a bird catches
hold of twig. Pull in your waist,
push out your chest, and stretch your
body until you are as, tall as posi-
ble."
Miss Sanderson warns girls that
great physical danger accompanies
the hanging of the head" She ex-
plains that this. relaxed condition
makes one end of the stomach lower
than the other and compels the food
being digested to: run up hill"
Stand up on the outside of your
body" she warns, $50 that the inside
may do its work properly. A girl
walking up stairs must use the ankle
joint to draw her up from step to step
and not her whole body. Don't
boost yorsuelf along by the banisters.
This applies also to walking down
stairs. Do it with the ankle joint
leaving the rest of the body relaxed.
You don't need to come down with
jar which shakes: your spinal column.
Don't thump!"
Miss Sanderson describes the man
ner in which many women drag"
themselves aboard a street car. "a
woman" she says, "hoists her body
aboard car a few times and then
wonders why she is so weary" In
this action she recommends, also,
that the weight be kept on the ball
of the foot and as little use as posi-
| BILE be made of the iron stanchions.
| In talking to the young women
Miss Sanderson relates the "loggy
feeling which comes about 8 o'clock
| in the afternoon" to improper shoes.
| your feet are made for real use"
she says, land you should buy shoes
accordingly. When you are shopping
| don't look at the shoes to see if they
are pretty, Instead, set them side by
side and see if the inner edge of tAe
soles makes straight line. That IS
the test for your footwear"
She calls the human body a ma
chine which, like any other machine,
must be kept balanced and in con-
| dition. Badly fitted shoes, she says,
cause improper standing positions.
In turn a disarrangement of the or
ganic system results and the stomach
displacement is followed by indiges-
ton. This complaint is the cause of
the "lazy, loggy feeling in the after
noon
AS a final admonition to the girl
workers she says:
There never was time when it
was more important for US to give all
of ourselves to the accomplishing of
tasks. There is no excuse for not
getting out of our bodies 100 per cent.

the fact that for some years she was

Greek faith. The breach was heal

out, and she was the most powerful
representative of the Kaiser at the
Greek court. In opposing the plans
of Venizelos, the leader of the populac

Pertinent HINTS
VERY USEFUL TO
HOUSEWIVES

In general, the customer should see
that the scale is in the balance or
that the indicator is at zero when
there is no load upon the scale; that
there is no attachment which appears
to be unnecessary or foreign to the
weighing or measuring device, and
that no paper or other article is
placed upon the pan or attached to
any movable part of the scale. 4,
If you are engaged in the industry
of housekeeping you should
Trade with dealers who have ac-
curate and sealed weighing and meas
uring devices
Check up all goods received to es-
certain if full quantity has been de-
livered.
Purchase package goods which are
Iegibly marked on the outside of
package with the net quantity which
it contains.
See that your milk and cream bot
ties are filed to the cap or stopple.
The coal dealer is required by law
to deliver you sworn statement as
to the weight delivered. Seee that
you receive such a certificate.
If any coal dealer neglects to give
you a certificate stating the number
of pounds contained in a load that is
being delivered to you, the local
sealer of weights and measures should
he promptly notified.
In purchasing meats request that
all trimmings" be included with pur-
chase; otherwise a correct check OF
goods cannot be made.
In purchasing ice be careful to ask
for a certain weight of ice, viz, so
pounds, rs pounds, 100 pounds, and
do not be content to accept 1O-cent,
20-cent, 30-cent pieces.
In purchasing turkey, chicken, etc.,
do not accept the weight as sometimes
already marked on the same, but in
sist that the commodity be reweighed
in your presence.
Equip your kitchen with a good
scale of 10 to 20 pounds capacity,
weighing in ounces, and have it tested
and sealed annually by the local
sealer of weights and measures. Use
this scale for checking an weights of
commodities delivered, and if under
weight is found to exist, do not fail to
bring each case to the attention of the
dealer. The shortage maye be due
merely to carelessness, but you are
entitled to full weight, and he should
know that you are a business woman
and will not countenance unbusiness-
like methods in his dealings with
you.
Also have on hand an accurate dry
quart, a liquid quart, a 6o-inch steel
tape, and eight-ounce graduate. These
should also be submitted to the
sealer for test.
Be businesslike when purchasing.
The merchant is careful that in his
sales he receives full value for cor
rect weight or measure given. He is
Obliged to be thus careful, else his
business would be done at loss
Why, then should the business OF
housekeeping be done in a careless
manner and at loss? Order COM
modities in terms Of weight and
measures.
Do not order a pail of lard, print
of butter" $50 cents worth of pota-
toes" piece of bacon" "can Of oil, y
"box of fruit" unless you know no"
much that pail, print, package, etc.
contains in weight or measure.

of the tunic are finished all the way
around with frilled ruching. This
ruching is repeated at the end of the
elbow-length sleeve, and it impaired
plumpness to Miss Kennedy's other
wise pointed elbows, which she was
quick to appreciate. The basque OF

Another clever touch to this frock
is the unique neck. 1t is what we
sometimes call a horseshoe neck

chest help to give an impression Of
