ETHEL CLAYTON, POPULAR
Has Excellent Role in New Film
1.-THE Ladder of Lies"

Ethel Clayton is one of the most
ideal types of screen stars and her
great popularity is due not only to
her beauty charm, but also to the
fact that in her portrayals she mir
rors the ideal type of womanhood,
embracing sterling character and
all of the beautiful and fine traits of
the weaker sex.
Miss Clayton keenly feels and lives
every role she portrays. She thinks
as we'll as acts her part, and is thus
keeping on the front line of the pro.
gress of the motion picture art.
Her characterization in 1.-THE Lad
der of Lies" her latest Paramount
Aircraft picture, which will be shown
at the Casino Theater today is
marked by beauty and strength, and
by the tenderness of the underlying
motives which impel the heroine to
make bitter sacrifices on the altar of
friendship, for which, however, she is
generously rewarded, at the end.
Clyde Fillmore heads a capable sup.
porting cast.

Walk Indian Fashion

Well-directed feet are now consid-
cred to be quite as important to gem
eral health as well-poised head or
an erect carriage. Few people seem
to realize that many troublesome all
ments are caused by flat, or weak
feet, and attribute the nervous de-
preston, pain in the legs and back
and general fatigue to some other
cause, when the feet are really at
fault, says the United States public
health service.
Actual "fat foot" is much less COM
mon than is ordinarily thought. On
the other hand, weak foot is very
common, and if not remedied grad
ually leads to fiat foot.
Recent Investigations have estab-
lished the fact that "toeing out" in
walking, or standing, puts an added
strain o nthe arch of the feet. In
stead of standing and walking with
the feet forming an angle of about
As degrees, as formerly advocated in
military and athletic manuals, ex-
perts now advocate standing {una ana ana
straight forward. This has been
found to be of great assistance in
remedying weak and fiat feet, and
constitutes what is known as walk
ing Indian fashion.
"Toeing straight" should be prac-
ticed for a little while, and it will
come easy. Make two parallel lines
nthe floor, about six inches apart.
and walk on them with the toe and
heel touching the outside of the line.
Follow this up with an exercise such
as the following: Stand with the
feet parallel, with about two inches
between the feet. and rise on the
toes anywhere from 20 to 40 times
each night and morning. In stand
ing acquire the habit of placing the
feet a few inches apart, with the
same distance between heel and toes.
Keep the body weight equally sup
ported on both feet.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here /
come again from South Carolina. / have
written once before, 1 won't describe
myself this time. l want to say just a
few words to you cousins about ancient and
modern times. The difference between an
cient, or olden times and modern or new
times is real interesting. 1t is interesting
to think of how different things of today
are from those of olden times; how, year
by year, new inventions are made and old
things are improved; how wise men are be-
coming. Men have become so wise that
they have ideas of other worlds like our
own. In ancient times the people of the
old world thought that where they lived
was the only piece of land in existence, and
that it was flat, and that if they came to
the edge they would fall down into space.
But now they hove discovered that they
were mistaken, and now have ideas of
worlds beyond the skies. The world was
very small to the people, away back as far
as history states. MT now it is large, and
there IS not only one world, but hundreds,
If the stars prove to be worlds. Well,
guess / have said enough for now. will

hear from you cousins and wishing you

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

Dear Madam:
I am coming to you for advice as
love with a boy % years old, and 1
am IS. Am in the eleventh grade.
Have black hair and grey eyes. Is it
stylish for a girl of my age to wear
her hair in curls? Am old enough
to marry? Do you think I will iI,+ be =, an n
hair hanging down. Is there any
harm in my going riding with my
beau? And is it wrong for my beau
to put his hand in my lap when I'm
driving the carr Is there any harm
in me untying a boys shoes and he
untying mine? Do I write good
hand?
Please sign my name under my let
tiers so 1 will know it.
Sincerely yours,
ALMA MATHEWS,
Often boys and girls take par
entail advice and interest for
cruelty and seedlings, but they
find later that what father and
mother said held a lot of truth
1t is hard to make young eyes see
the things old eyes, from expe-
perience is the wisest teacher,
and you would do well to listen
to advice from your father.
Remember this, men like wom-
anly traits of character, honesty,
loyalty, and refinement above
everything else. They might tell
you lots of funny tales, but way
down deep in the recesses of
their beings is the longing and q
appreciation for the goodness and
purity of womanhood So any
girl is wise to remember this, the
cleaner in mind and straighter
she is, the more chance she has
TO marry, and marry a man worth
while. I do not mean that girl
cannot laugh, and have. good
times, in the right sort Of way.
But keep a man in his place. Do
not let him carry on familiar con-
versations with you. [ think you
are old enough to wear your hair
pinned close to your head in
youthful style. Eighteen is a lit
tie too old to wear your hair
down your back.

Please tell me what to do. I am
a young girl of twenty years, and |
am going with nice young man of
twenty-four, and he has asked me
to marry him, and L promised him
Now, my people simply hate him
and every time he comes to see me
they just simply bless me out, and
he knows they don't like him, but
he says he could never love another

please give me some advice, as I
am worried to death. I love him
dearly and I can't never love any
body else, but 1 will do right about
it. They never turned against him

to marry, but l can say this, he is
the incest boy I've ever been with.
and he holds a real good position. I
will appreciate your advice.
BEAUTIFUL EYES.
1t is too bad your family take
such a decided step, and it is not
right for them to become so

against the young man except
the fact that he wants to marry
you, then they are entirely
wrong. And if you love him and

less they have a very good rea-

my advice is stick to him.
