So Soft
So White
By Edna Wallace Hopper.

Nearly every woman who sees
them envies me my hands. They ask
me how / keep them SO soft, so
white, SO young.
They know that ! travel all the
time. My stage work encounters all
sorts of CRIME and dirt. In most
cities the water is hard. Yet the most
sheltered women rarely have such
hands. They never chap.
The reason lies in a hand lotion
perfected for me by great experts. |
apply it whenever | wash my hands.
1t is not greasy or sticky. 1t disap-
pears at once. And it overcones all
that water does, all that soap does,
all that CRIME does to the hands.
Also all that weather does, all that
the years do. My own hands form
evidence supreme.
This hand lotion is now supplied
by all toilet counters. 1t is called
Edna Wallace Hopper's Youth Hand
Lotion. The price is 60c.
urge you to try it. | think | have
tried nearly everything of this kind,
but nothing compares with this. A
guarantee comes with it. Your dealer
will return your money if it does
not please. Go get it and see what it
means TO you.

not have been tolerated in classic or

was apparently more highly valued

time dark skirts and light bodices
have been out of fashion
But all things come to those who
wait as far as fashions are con-
cerned, and it ought not to be sur
prising that this trick has been re-
vived. Oddly enough it is in eve

JOHN D. AND WILL ROGERS
 BOTH SWAP "WISE CRACKS"
Wealthy Old Man and Wealthy Humorist Give Each Other
 Gtggles.

Ormond Beach, Fla. Feb. (UP) Win Rogers and his fellow humorist. John D. Rockefeller, met, "swapped wisecrackers" and broke even.
 The two giggled and laughed all the way around the Ormond Beach golf course yesterday.
 Rogers, mayor or Beverly Hills, Calf, said that even If he did come from California he couldn't play golf. So he held a big black um- brella over Rockefeller's head all the way around the course.
 The two had breakfast together, the invitation being extended after Rogers lecture here Wednesday night. The oil king attended and chuckled throughout.
 When Rogers learned the capital ist was in the audience, he said, eff you haven't a car, John, I'll see that you get home all right"
 So Rockefeller asked the humor- ist 10 breakfast.
 After the golf round, Rogers folded up the umbrella and did some rope stunts on horse for his friend and then remarked:
 Well, John, I'm glad I didn't beat you at golf; last time you were beaten, gas went up two cents.'

HIGH HEELS ARE
 CAUSE 0F ACHES
Back Troubles Often 0CCasioned
 by These

Chicago, Feb. 1 (UP)-High heeled shoes are frequently the cause Of backaches in women just as are pendulous abdomens In men These kinds of backaches are called static" because they are caused by mechanical disturbances.
 Any position assumed by the body which will tend to throw the body onward is bound to put an extraor-
 linary strain upon the lower part of the spinal column and upon the back muscles which are charged with the
 luty of holding the body erect.
 It is surprising with how little ef- iort it is possible to cure such back aches, provided the patient is will ing to lend her or his cooperation. proper shoe with common sense heels; 8 belt for the support Of the pendulous abdomen, etc, are at times sufficient to obtain relief. un- fortunately the women are a little more difficult to deal with especial ly, If the prevailing style is inter- fered with.
 Some backaches are due to injury. Because Of the visible signs the pos- sibility Of overlooking this condition IS a cause of backaches is remote. On the other hand mild injuries to back may cause suffering out Of all proportion to the visible damage. An X-ray examination of the spine guards against a mistake here.
 Inflammation conditions Of the pelvic organs, tumors in the abdo- men or pelyis. or even stones in the kidneys may produce backache.
 In my years of orthopedic practice I have encountered many hundreds of patients who suffer from pains in and about the joint regions with no visible pathology. The pains in most of them are worse at night, especially so In the early morning hours,
 Many of these patients are irrit- able and apprehensive. Internal med ication does not seem to have much influence over the scource of the af- lection. The pains are not constant. They may let up for day or two and then. return with greater sever fly
 Many Of these patients suffer from shooting pains" in the back. These pains are most often caused by ab- sorption material from some focus of infection. The source may be in the tonsils teeth, or sinus infec- ton. A sluggish intestinal tract, 8 rectal fistula, a chronic gall-bladder disease, or a chemically inf1amed appendix may also act as the focus Of infection.
 These cases require painstak- ing examination and analysis before interference be advised. On the oth CT hand, once the physician is sat isfied that he has discovered the source, he must try by all means to clear the ground before he can hope for curative results.
 Though usually accompanied by marked symptoms and signs there are many cases of tuberculous in- yolvment Of the spine where the only symptoms in the early cases were backaches and night pains. It is worth remembering that old age is no barrier to the invasion Of tuber culosis in the spinal column. In practice l have encountered pa tients with tuberculosis of the spine between the ages of one year and sixty.

Chicago Lawyer Says He Has

IN the Associated Press.

BS the Associated Ffess.
CHICAGO. April 19.-Clarence Dar-
row started today the seventy-first
year of his life with eulogies such as
are rarely heard, except over one who
is gone. ringing in his ears.
Fifteen hundred men and women,
Including notables from all over
America, paid tribute to the grizzled
lawyer, writer and philosopher last
occasion of his SEVENTEEN birthday
anniversary. They heard him de-
scribed as Chicago's most distin-
guished citizen, an advocate OF human
rights, an optimistic cynic in litera-
= ture, friend of the negro, defender OF
science and humanitarian.

enee Darrow," said Prof. Thomas V.
Smith of the University of Chicago

quarters that this one was made"
Called ''Not Good Lawyer"
Donald Richberg, Chicago attorney,
said Darrow, defense attorney in the
Loeb-Leopold case and in the Scopes
evolution trial at Dayton, Tenn, was
not a good lawyer. "He is not a
good lawyer" Richberg said. "A good
lawyer lives in world of clear-cut
black and white. Darrow lives in a
world of gray. He is irreverent to-
ward the established thing, coming as
he does before the bar swapping his
irreverent suspender.'
'Darrow's religion" said Shirley j.
Case. professor of early Christian his
tory lat the University of Chicago
"has consisted in love for his fellow
men, rather than in the love of any
abstract god"
Walter White, negro writer and
puhlicist, said: "We do honor to a
man who has attacked, ridiculed and
exposed every idea held by this SNUG,
bourgeois civilization of ours. He
has shown that the agnostics and
free thinkers are friends of the negro,
rather than the fundamentalists
whose religion stops at the color
1ine."
Discusses Eternity.
Darrow told how it feels at 70 'toI
