THEATERS

A wild high spirited little New
York movie actress seeking refuge
in the kentucky mountains from
vengeance for crime she did not
commit-such is the story of 1.-THE
Runaway,' which comes to the
Airdome tomorrow night.
Clara Bow plays the role of the
runaway. When William Powell,
who appears as a wealthy young
New Yorker, is accidentally shot and
dangerously wounded while with
Miss Bow i'll an apartment in a
Tennessee city, she realizes how
hard ii will be to prove her inno-
cence and flees, thinking Powell
dead.
On a lonely road, Miss Bow, half
hystcrical and nearly exhausted, ap-
peals to Warner Baxter, a young
mountainecr or the way back to his
kentucky nome. He believes that
she is running away from danger
and takes her with him.
She is chagrmed at his disgust
when he learns she cannot cook or
do any of the daily duties of hill
women. It his home she finally
wins the confidence of his mother,
Edvthe Chapman. Several weeks
later Powell, the supposedly dead
man, puts in his appearance, saying

IN THE SWIM AT 81

An 81 year Old French woman recently won an
endurance contest in swimming. 1t was during an un
duly hot spell when a group OF women decided to go in
batning to cool off and incidentally organized some
water contests. The aged swimmer who the en-
durance test by swimming for hour, finished her
swim without any sign OF fatigue
She told interested spectators later that she had
begun swimming at the age Of four and at time
a champion swimmer. At about 67 years she had CIV
up the pastime but is tempted to it, at
least during warm spells
How many other octogenarians who gave up
swimming 20 years ago could plunge into the
water and duplicate this swimmers record? Perhaps
great many, yet at the rate grandparents
tanning their youth and youthful interests, it is likely
to become more rather than less common.

INSPIRATION FROM AUSTRIA

Austria has never been regarded as paftlcuiar-
" progressive land. The old empire has produced
great generals and musicians notable surgeons and IN
ventors but the centuries of Hapsburg rule were not
productive of governmental innovations and the world
has never looked to Vienna for political business IN
spiration.
Now, however, the Austrian committee OF the
Vienna Chamber of Commerce has framed report TO
the Trade Barriers Committee OF the international
Chamber of Commerce which commands respect
The report points out how the Great war destroy
ed the network of commercial treaties which regulat-
ed and facilitated international trade and intercourse,
and emphasizes the ways which the instructive Jea-
ousies of the and their natural desires to
protect and further their own interests have pre-
tral Europe is suffering from the complications OF
customs oralitles and tariff walls. Domestic buSl-
ness is hampered no less than foreign trade.
With this situation in mind, the Austrians suggest
the drafting of collective treaty which shall define
personal corporate rights eliminate multiple tax
alton individuals and commodities standardze pass
port requirements and consular authority, simplify
navigation international waterways, remove general
prohibitions restrictions OF trade and lay down rules
Tor the conduct of financial transactions.
A treaty such this, entered into collectively
would be the first and might be the determining step
toward a European customs unon and such union
the establishment OF economic union which, l turn
Soud bring an eno lrlng peace.
The fact that the suggestion comes from Austria
may occasion surprise, but it should not dlnn-
ism the worlds desire to see it tried.

How to Enhance the Loneliness Of Your Eye!

draw your face into ugly Wrin-
kles. Wear shaded glasses in
glaring sunshine. or else protect
your eyes by q broad brimmed
hat or a green eye-shade such as
many tennis players use.
But the perfect rest for the
eyes is sleep. Nothing can take
the place Of restful hours of
-slumber during which the eyes
enjoy complete inactivity.
Dashing cold water about your
eyes several times q day win tone
and brighten them. Eye exer-
cises, such as the following, will
strengthen them and add to their
look of vivacity.
Close your left eye and with
your right eye look as far as you
can to the right, then front again.
Repeat this exercise five times
or more, then alternate by clos,
ing the right eye, and exercising
your left eye in the same manner.
BY paying attention to your
general health, by happy, con-
structAve thinking and by sensible
care Of your eyes, you can in
crease immensely their strength
and beauty.
