When a motion picture director turns author, how does he feel about delivering his brain child into the hands of another director for pie turization? Monta Bell, author of Florence Vidor's latest comedy, "The Popular Sin" suffered no qualms nor feared any mutilation of his idea, for it was Bell himself who voted Malcolm St. Clair to be the megaphone wielder.

 A nine months screen career does not sound like much. but 1t means a lot to Nat Carr.

First, Count Iva Tolstoy, son of Leo Tolstoy author of "Resurrection." went to Hollywood to help film his fathers classic.

The Woman Motorist.

The woman who motors much this

skin and chapped hands. Even when
she drives with heavily lined gloves
on, her hands will become dry and
probably red, for the glove lining
seems to take UP oil from the skin
This is one occasion VIXEN vanish
ing cream helps. If the skin is not
ordinarily very dry, rub some of this
type of cream on the face, and then
powder over it, before you go out.
And keep a stick of white cold cream
white lipstick cream, that is-in
your pocket. and smear your lips with
it before going out doors and while
you are out driving if the cream comes
off. Chapped lips are ugly to look at
and nuisance to have.
If your skin is dry, l shouldn't ad-

use the regular greasy cream, rub it in
well. and wipe off all on the surface of
the face with a soft, old cloth. Pow

of the rooms would make the face
shiny; outdoors. in the cold, the pores
of the skin being closed, the face won't
shine, but it Will be protected from the

What Tomorrow Means to You

BY ROBERT CULLEN

tomorrow planetary aspects are
favorable, and indicate progress and

, taken OF such propitious outlook.
and every endeavor should be made to
push forward the task or enterprise on
which your mind is set. Although
the signs denote marked success for
financial operations-not those, how
ever. that SAVIOR of speculation-every
work OF ii legitimate nature will de-
rive some real benefit from the
suspicious influences. This is also an
exceptionally good occasion for mar
rlage, and those who wed tomorrow
will not. like so many OF Hymen's
victims, learn to regret or wish to for
get.

| be sturdy, vigorous and sound in mind
and limb. Most parents will foolishly
fail to appreciate the evidences of

their apparent Indifference, there will
be, in reality, hearts of gold, bubbling
over with affection and love.
II tomorrow is your birthday. your
besetting weaknesses are laZiness and
indifference. You are full of good inten
, lions, and If success depended only on
brilliant conceptions, you would easily
outdistance all others. You, however
lack the ability to make your dreams
come true, not because you do not
possess intelligence but because you
and work do not travel in harness
together.
You are cynical. critical OF others
very positive in your beliefs and very
extreme in your likes and dislikes. You
are usually cool and composed but, at
times, and sometimes without rhyme
or reason, you become passionate and
eXCitable. This makes you, not alone
ridiculous in the eyes of others. but
also ashamed and resentful
You are not indifferent in love. and
can be a successful lover if your mate
is responsive.

My Neighbor Says:

When frying dou9hnutS have
a dish of boiling water on the
stove beside your kettle of fat
and as you take the doughnuts
out of the fat immerse them
quickly in the water. They will
not be greasy.
Salt is especially effective in
settling browns, blacks, reds
and pinks, being used in the
proportion of two cups Of salt
to one gallon of water. For
blues use vinegar in the pro
portion of one-half cup of vine
gar to one gallon of water, or
alum in the proportion of one
tablespoon of alum to one gal
lon of water. For lavenders
sugar of lead is more often
used, enc tablespoon of sugar
of lead TO one gallon of water
being the proportions. Sugar
Of lead is a poison and should
he handled with great care.
Throw out the solution as soon
as used. wash the hands care
fully and put the sugar of lead
in a safe place.
Newspapers crumpled up and
put in the feet of rubber boots
help dry them. Put the boots
in a warm place and renew the
paper when it gets damp.
In making coffee the water
must be boiling at the top boil
ing point before it is poured on
the coffee. Water at the high
est possible temperature is
necessary for the most efficient
extraction of flavor. aroma and
color.
For soup making put the
vegetables through the meat
chopper. They cook quicker
and make better soup.

Sizes in Ready-to- Wear.

A shopper from East St. Louis sent
me a. letter a few days ago telling
how keenly she felt the need for
standard sizes in ready -to-Wear
dresses. 1t was a thoughtful letter.
and l was sorry that she only signed
il "A Daily Reader" because | should
have liked very much to send her a
letter in reply.
This woman told how she had
ordered her size-number 36-many
times, and that while the majority OF
them fit very well, many were too
skinny. while a few were entirely
TOO large. And doubtless her eXpe-
rierce has been duplicated by great
many other readers.
That's why it is such extremely
good news to learn that something is
being done about this lack OF UNIFORM
ity in size.
The Chicago Dress Manufacturers
and the Interstate Merchants Coun-
Gil led off the first week in January
nv adopting a schedule or sizes ana
specifying the bust and hip measure
ments which are to conform with
each, So that now if these hgures are
made universal, one will be able to
drop into a store, order size 80 ana
know, for instance. that 1t Will De

with a 491a inch bust. In fact. IN al
of the sizes from "a to 46 the hip
measure is 6 inches larger than the
"n,,nber'' of the dress, while the Dust

other organizations are busy with
the same problem. The National Car
ment Retailers Association is one; a
wholesalers ready-to-wear assocla-
ton and other manufacturing groups
outside Chicago are determined that
The matter of irregularity in woman s
dress sizes is causing too much trouble
for everybody-from the makers down
20 the consumers.
The men, as we all know. can
order their shirts by size and arm
jength-they never think of having
to try one on-and be quite secure
in getting just the fit they nave
had before Also mems ready-to-Wear
suits are very carefully sized, both
for. the regular numbers and for
popular variations, such as short
stout" stub" medium long," etc.
Let us hope that women's dress
manufacturers go this far, too, and
specify a schedule of measurements
TOR irregular sizes, with large hips,
large bust" "short stout" etc.
A great many women who have
heretofore thought that they couldn't
depend on the readymade dress Will
certainly turn to it now If this move
ment to standardize the sizes is
adopted all over the country.
And women can help perhaps
more than they know 20 bring about

RACIAL ORIGIN-French.
SOURCE-A locality.

Here is a family name which. if not
widely borne, is by no means infre-
quently met. and which has become
mostly widely known.
Its origin is French, though there is
good ground for believing that it came
into being in more than one place and
more than one family and that these
places of origin were not necessarily
in France. but in countries where
French was spoken at the period in
which family names were formed;
that is, for the most part, from the
eleventh to the fourteenth and fif-
teenth centuries. This. as we'll as
emigration, would explain the early
presence of the family name in Eng
land, for instance, and certain sec
tons of what is now Belgium.
The name belongs to that class
which was at first descriptive of the
localities in which the bearers lived.
1t could have meant either one of two
things at the time of it's origin. "stone
bridge" or Peters bridge" The
given name of Peter means stone"
or rock" and in the Latin tongues
of which French is one. the given
name and the name of the thing have
run parallel. We have in modern
English a word derived through the
Norman-French from the sumo source,
