 But Raggcdy Ann and. Raggedy Andy would not tell the Treemax that Raggedy Ann had the magical Wishing Pebble sewed up inside her cotton stuffed body.
 If I do not find the Wishing Peb- ble pretty soon, l will put you both in the pickle barrel, that's what" the TreemaX cried.
 "Oh, you wouldn't do that" Rag gedy Ann said Tt would spoil our clothes to be put in vinegar"
 "Oh. l wouldn't put you in pickle barrel if it had vinegar or pickles in it." the TreemaX laughed. This pickle barrel is a brand new one and it never has had anything in 1t. Now will you tell me where the Wishing Pebble is hidden?"
 No, we won't! Raggedy Andy

WHY MEN LEAVE HOME IS DRAWING CAPACITY CROWDS AT TIE LYRIC
Elaborate Costumes Ano Stage. Settings Feature
 The Production

The excellent company at the Lyric this week in Why Men Leave Home" has evidently caught the fancy of local theatre-So as packed houses have been the rule the two opening days. The company is one of the best balanced aggre- gation of artists that could be pro cured and is furnishing Birmingham an opportunity to see the late stage plays enacted by such talent.
 "Why Men Leave Home" is an ideal opening bill and the laughs are many, starting shortly after the rise of the curtain and continuing unabated until the final curtain. The plot deals with joy seeking wives and lonesome husbands in a most amusing way and one can readily see why the play lasted all of the pa st season at the Morosco theatre New York.
 One of the most pleasing features of the performance is the splendid I settings. Ladies who visit the theatre this week will enjoy the many beautiful frocks worn.
 John Glynn Mcfarland. who star red in the original New York pro- duction, said the play went over equally as good in Birmingham as New York.
 There will be two more matinees the balance of the week, one on Thursday and one on saturday at 2:15. Night performances start promptly at S:15.

 She was speaking the truth. She was little more than a child and her companions kindness, his evident desire to make her happy, stirred her strangely.
 Do you mean that?" he asked.
 "Yes, I mean it," she insisted.
 His hand rested on hers for a mo- nrent. Even in the darkness of the cab she saw again the spark that had sprung to his eyes once before this evening. And, seeing it, she caught her breath audibly.
 At the sound he released her hand, and, leaning forward, seemed to peer out of the window.
 "The traffic is always congested here at Times Square, he remarked in a voice that he tried to make nat ural.
 She did not reply. For a moment she could not. Her heart was beat ing fast and her checks burned She had never before cared for Donald as she did at this instant. For the time he did net seem like her guardian, but like the best, finest man in the wor1d-the only person of whose af- lection she was entirely sure.
 And he was handsome too-and popular with women older and wiser than she. Yet he actually seemed to wish to be with her often. She was flattered; she was happy in the pres ent and excited at the prospect of other wonderful evenings in the fu- ture Her thoughts were in such a joyous whirl that she did not feel like speaking.
 Here We are at the Biltmore"' her companion announced when the cab drew up at the curb.
 As Donald and she crossed the sidewalk they almost collided with a pedestrian. He hesitated, then lift ing his hat and muttering an apology, hurried on.
 In that instant Winifred had recog- nized Richard Rankin.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy twisted and wiggled and pulled back as hard as they could but of course TreemaX is whole lot stronger than you would imagine him to be, so it only took him a minute to pull the two Raggedys into the tree and right up to his living room.
 Then he sat down in a chair and said, Now hurry and show me where you have hidden the magical Wish ing Pebble. Raggedy Ann"
 Why, she will not do anything of the kind" Raggedy Andy said

 Nope" Raggedy Andy replied. Then I will have to give up," the Treemax sighed, flor I have guessed every place I know of. I'll give up.

Raggedy Ann and Ra ggedy Andy had just said that they wished they would have an adventure, when the Treemax, a very strange and little known crea- ture, dropped right out of the tree un- der which they were sitting and caught them by the arms.
 The Treemax told Raggedy Ann that he wanted her to give him one wish so that the wish would come true. I've thought of a good wish ,'' the TreemaX said.

Before 1 started going with this fellow
he went with another girl for one year, out
quit her and three weeks later started GO
ing with me.
When we started going together he talked
of her lots. We had been going with eseh
other three months when she began calling
him and writing letters. saying, please call
me up whether you want me or not. When
she saw she could not have him she mar
ried another fellow to spite him ros H., ~
After she was married she called him up
and he took her TO the show to talk things
over. When this girl married this fellow
told me it broke his heart. but now denies
all that, and says that he felt sorry for her
&because she had trouble at home with her
sstepfather. He says she is not his type of
Fgirl and he never would have married her.

Your fiance may have thought he
was 'heartbroken" when the girl

heartbreaks more readily than girls
do. You should not let that worry
you, as long as your fiance does not
heed her unsportsmanlike attempt to
call him back now.

You're teachers, GirlSl

Dear Miss Lee: Ny girl friend and I are
teaching this year and are making every
effort to be very sedate and dignifed. How
ever young men in this town have shown
themselves very anxious to make our sc-
Quaintance.
For instance as We were walking one
evening some very nicelooking boys stopped
their machine several times TO ask US TO
ride of course we declined. But we nave
wondered since whether not We should
have done so, since there are so few op-
portunities to meet young men here Please
tell Us what we should do under such cir
cumstances We always have been popular
and we are very lonely without the society
of young men. WORRIED WILMA.
Remember your standing in the
community, Wilma. How much in
fuence could you exert over young
girls and boys, if it were known you
had gone riding with unknown young
men? You probably would not even
have a chance to exert any influence,
IL the school board heard of it.
No one has a better opportunity
than a 81 hool teacher in a small town.
to meet people. So l think you need
rot worry about being lonely. But do
be discreet.

TOBACCO


ri SERS of the weed claim that to-
bacco is a great help in mental
work where the effort is sus-
tanned and a stimulant needed. On
the contrary, six great educational in
stitutions in our country, by carefully
grouping tobacco statistics, have
proved that such is not the fact.
If boy or man is in normal health
there is nothing of more vital impor-
tance to his physical well-being and
mental balance than the full supply
Of oxygen to the lungs. Deep breath
ing will provide the system with more
power and disease resistant qualities
than any other separate bodily
process.
In a smoker of medium habits, the
loss of oxygen power or lung capacity
is reduced 10 per cent. There is no
doubt that the poisonous effect of nico-
tin. in the medium or heavy smokers,
produces arteriosclerosis hardening of
the arter1esl.
Nicotin in tobacco is known to ex-
cite and stimulate the adrenal glands
to excessive secretion. This excess af-
fects the blood vessels. It constructs
them in heavy smokers to a marked
degree, affecting artertel and heart
action. This means shortening of life.
If its sedative effects are a solace
to men and women, all well and good.
But the little solace and pleasure it
affords does not stop the users de-
terioration in mental and physical
health. The pleasure is costly.
It might be a good thing to put
the use of tobacco on an exact dosage
limit and apply it therapeutically.
