EASY TO PICK
WINNER AT PALACE

Merit always counts, but 1t Is
more easy at times to discover It.
And it is a soft job to discover
merit ON the present bill at the Pal
ace.
I must qualify that statement. If
I had never seen (many times a
sketch called THE Lucky Stiff" l
would not have decided as I do at
this time.
THE Lucky Stiff" has served its
time in vaudeville as a drawing
card. In its day it was a novelty OF
human acting. 1t is to those who
have never seen it. But have seen
this sketch many times. 1t is still
good. but I believe that its day OF
commanding interest has gone.
And so now I will go with pleasure
to the Iron toed" Loretta Gray and
company. Here is an act that Is
dressed with real showmanship. Not
too many people present, but just
enough. 1t has class and speed
especially when Miss Gray proves
beyond any doubt that she has iron
toes Here is an act that will keep
you in your seat interested every
second Of time. A real dance novelty.
We need more of such acts.
Vernon is ventriloquist who has
the bad taste to impersonate the
"hair lip" and the Suffering guy.
Please. Vernon, give us healthy
dummies at least.
The Four Villeroms have what l
call a human balancing act. Bert
Fitzgibbons does the announcing
such as it is. Robson and Pierce
prove that Crossed Wires" may be
crossed for a comedy purpose.

ert." with Warner Baxter.

diana. Rubber Heels at the
Apollo. Resurrection" at the CIR
Gle. "The Sea Tiger" at the OHIO,
and movies at the Isis.

HOUSES
AID HEALTH

Better housing Is universally rec
ognized as an essential of better
public health. In practically every
community in the United States,
and in many foreign countries,
energetic movements are on for the
abolition of slum districts.
There Is another aspect TO the
question that has not yet received
much consideration-hea condi-
tions in individual homes.
Few home owners ever ask them
selves, lis my home as healthy for
my family to live in as it is pos
sible for me to make it?"
1t is amazing how much this
question is neglected. There was
a woman whose young children We're
always suffering from colds and
similar ailments.
A visitor observed that on the
first floor there were constant
drafts from the cellar, so strong
that the carpets were lifted in bill
lows. He suggested a very simple
remedy, tacking broad boards of
celotex, material made from cane
fiber, to the ceilings of the cellar,
cutting off the drafts.
The children have had few colds
since.
AS a matter of fact. the sudden
changes of temperature in homes,
and the drafts have much more to
do with the fanily's health than
many people think.
Recently studies have been made
by physicians and other health
authorities on the effects on health
of weather-control. Broad boards
of celotex, used in building the
home, have been found to be eff
cient in maintaining uniform
temperature. The cane fiber in
this material stops both heat and
cold, and also renders the house
more free from dampness.
Another quality OF this material
noise reducing-has been found
beneficial in homes where there
are nervous persons or invalids.
Plaster applied over celotex stops
sound much better than plaster
over iath. For it reduces the re.
verberations. Recent experiments
conducted by Prof Donald A.
Laird at Colgate University have
demonstrated that continued noise
causes fatigue. Quieter homes are
both healthier and pleasanter to
live in.
