Sure Signs.

A crack in your chimney is a
sure sign that you are going to
move.
If you dream Of smelling smoke
it is sign you are asleep and
had better wake up.
To see apaper hanger papering
over a flue hole indicates an i'm.
pending loss,
1t bad luck to look in a dark
closet with a match.
If you can see your shadow
from an old lamp While filling a
gasoline stove it indicates a crowd
of people coming to your house.
When the wind means it is ex.
tremely bad luck to burn trash
near the house.
IT you smell gas or gasoline
and look for it with a light it
fortells that you are about to
start on q long journey.
Even if your house and furni-
ture are "covered by insurance"
it is extremely unlucky to have
them burn On Friday the 18th.

Landloper" were photographed at that
famous Florida winter resort.
The scenes made in Palm Beach are
those in which Walker Farr (Harold
LOCKWOOD figures when, as a young
man of wealth, he wagers that he can
assume the role of knight of the
highway for three months and thus
prove his theory that any man can
find happiness, no matter what his
station in life may be. The wager is
accepted and Farr begins the journey
which be8ets him the title of the land
Taper. Farr proves his theory, but not
before he has been the center of a
whirl Of romance and adventure
which gives the story its interest.
"The Landloper' is colorful
romantic drama and provides the star
with a most congenial role.
