Dr. Caldwelps 3 Rules
 Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the resu.., of constipation for 47 years. and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health. diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Of next importance, then, is how to treat 1t when 1t comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible. hence his rem edy for constipation. known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. is 8 mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting. and youngsters love 1t. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect.
 Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for hu- man beings to put into their sys- tens. In a practice of ~ years he never saw any reason for their use when medicine like Syrup Pcpsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. more cleanly and gently. without gripping and harm to the system.
 Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength. hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you will feel like different person.
 Get bottle today. at any drug store and observe these three rules

The cakes of ice will all Do floating rapidly seaward."
 The possibility of 'domes' of ice in the land with important effects on weather s another theory of meteorologistA On the side of safe- ty, Wilkins has the clearness of An tarctic air. Visibility there long has been recognized as possibly the best in the world.
 Wilkins flight will be around. and perhaps into, what may be des- cribed as the great ''keyhole" of the earth atmosphere. In addition to the prevailing surface winds blowing outward on all sides of Antarctica. weather experts have noted . ten- dency of the upper winds to blow inward. In 1901 Louis Bemacchi of the Southern Croes expedition re- ported that for eleven months the high cirrus clouds blew steadily to- ward the pole, although the surface winds were mostly outward.
 Meteorologists do not consider that these winds follow the physi- cal form of a keyhole. They hope that airplanes will help clear up the action. One theory is that the polar region is blanketed with "high" or "anticcyclone' area. that above 1t ts a layer of comparative calm, and atop that a whirl in the opposite di- rection. This would be cyclone superimposed upon an anti-cyclone.
 Other meteorological riddles are whether there is a "wind pole" and ''cold pole" and whether the con- tinent Is ringed about by a series of permanent lows" or cyclonic areas. An unanswered suggestion is the cause of low pressure waves" that move in seemingly parallel lines across Antarctica from the pole. The velocity of these waves has been es- timated at 40 miles an hour. There Is a belief that in some parts of An- tarctica they cause furious blizzards.

AIR CA1ARAC1S
 IN ANTARCTIC
Captain Wilkins Will l.st
 Hazardous Currtnk

New York. Oct. sl A-More un. known perils than he faced in his flight across the top of the world confront Capt. Sid George Hubert Wilkins and his two fellow aviators in the work they are en route to undertake in the region of the south pole.
 Their objective Is study of the sreatest of weather enigmaA the meteorology of Antarctic. The dan- gers lia in conditions believed to ex- ist over Antarctic known as lair cataracts." Wilkins and his compan- ions, with their two planes. expect to be the first to venture into these vaguely known forces. He should precede Byrd into the air, as he is going to the point in Antarctica di- rectly south Of tho tip of South America. while Byrd goes in from the opposite side of the world.
 This "air cataract lisa phenome- non caused by the presence of high land in . high" area of atmos- phere. that Is region of high baro- metric pressure. Antarctica is be- lieved by meteorologists to provide the worlds largest expanse having these two "highs'' superimposed. A high pressure area in the air is or- dinarily comparatively calm. except where there are lofty slopes. down whose sides the air cataracts some- times rush with violence. They have been observed in explored portions of Antarctica. Where Wilkins plans to fly, between Deception Island end Ross Sea, Byrd's base. almost the entire area never has been seen by man, and no explorer has been close enough even to forecast the land formations. Geologists have made guesses. Vilhjamur Stefansson. Arc tic explorer, outlines one of Wilkins unknowns, for the American mu- scum of natural history. saying:
 "Wilkins has 2 theory that while all the other margins of the Antarc- tic continent are high, the unknown coast he wants to explore is likely 10 be low. Solving this problem is of great interest to geographers and of
 perhaps even more importance to meteorologists. For if this be low coast, then the violent winds found
 on all other sides of the continent may be absent, as the known storms are supposed to be caused in large part by the mere gravitational flow

were made in Verona, Italy. and were being shipped ostensibly to Poland. although in reality believed intended for Hungary.
 If this IS the case it would be a fiagrant violation of the treaty of peace, an arming of one of the de- Geated nations in the great war by one of the victorious allies.
 And what mess of diplomatic wire pulling has ensued! Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, eager to maintain the purity of the peace treaty. are demanding an investigation by the League: Rumania, also a member of the Little Entente, is holding back. being influenced no doubt by Italy. Great Britain and Germany are will ing to hush it up. France is pressing for an inquiry.
 Logically and honestly, there can be no two sides to a violation of a treaty. The incident should be in vestigated and responsibility fixed.

 in tho future. in order to be one. must possess the goods, must be able to act parts bet ter than the average. must work himself or herself to the top, as all the great actors and actresses had to do in former generation. That's the exact meaning of stabilization. The moving picture magnates are through paying princely salaries without reason. Meanwhile they have discovered that good drama has an even better drawing quality than poor stars and indifferent drama. No pictures in the future will be built around stars, is the edict. Pictures will be produced around good stories. For it has been found that the good yarn has real drawing power, while the public was getting tired of big names and folderol to go with it.
 From this standpoint stabilization looks like progress. The movies have badly needed less hokum.

\ REAL AIR FLEET

For an airplane to alight upon the deck of an airplane carrier is no great feat. For & dirigible like the Los Angeles to do it-that is some thing else again. Well. the Los Angeles did it. and officials of the navy, who became convulsed with pleasure at the event, are justified in their glee. The Los Angeles did it by hopping to Newport and glid- ing to the deck of the airplane car rier Saratoga. the first time in his tory that tho feat had been accom- plished.
 The Los Angeles is a great dirigible, and what is even more im- portant. it is competently handled; i; its crew has had the experience; 1t usually goes and returns from every trip in safety. The ill-fated Shenan- doah was less fortunate. IL takes a dirigible crew at least three years of training to become thoroughly efIi- cient.

GREAT FOR THE KIDS

It was a great day for the young sters-the first day of the winter with a real blanket of snow. Ana here January is nearly over! Who would have thought that . Con- recticut winter could ever be 50 de- linauent as not to provide a mantle for sleds until so late in the season.
 Looking about yesterday one found that the youngsters were good snow shovelers. They rolled in it: threw snowballs at the unwary; did about everything the fond mamas did not want them to do. Watching them for a spell made one feel young again.
 Az they grow older. however, the desire to shovel snow decreases. We noticed that the sidewalks were swept clean by the older folks in front of nearly every home.

ORIGIN OF JOKES

The boxed humor in the form of . news story from Liverpool, which appeared on the front page of the Herald Saturday, showed how jokes are born. And it was a dandy, tell- ing how . Scot appeared in court with his face bandaged. whereas the day before he did not wear a ban dage. The reason, he explained, was because he wanted to save the nice clean bandage for the day in court.
 Innumerable jokes are born spontaneously in that manner. They are being manufactured upon this terrestrial sphere every day. and some of them get into the papers; usually the local papers. Wandering minmrels in the form Of stage folk pick them up: ultimately the best of them flow from the lips of the star comedians of the stage, tickling the disabilities of sophisticated city audi cnces and making their progenitors famous.
 There have been around 1000 spontaneous jokes made about the old Ford car, and about a million about our dear mothers-in-law we all love. Domestic life as lived be- tween happy married couples, with out the jars. is good for a million more; the jars included total about 5000. 900.
 Almost everybody can spring q spontaneous splash of humor once in a while. The hard work in the joke business is to manufacture spon- taneous humor and not be spon- taneous about tiff such . thing be possible: yes, 1t is just barely pos- sible; yes, it is just barely possible. Just barely, we said; that's why pro- fessional humorists so frequently are crabs.

STABILIZING THE MOVIES

The moving picture industry, like the sun and it's puny satellites. do move" That is by way of saying that the industry is being stabilized. What we are getting is less star dust and more drama. At least, that is what the moguls of the industry claim.
 It may be . little hard on the stars, who were of the opinion a It, tie while back that the entire mov- ing picture industry was made to move around their illustrious names. Perhaps there may be fewer gay parties in Hollywood. and perhaps fewer palatial castles masquerading as residences for the stars; and per- haps the average movie celebrity will have to be satisfied with three high-powered automobiles whereas formerly six were a necessity of locomotion. But the movies are moving to better things-to stabili- zation; take the word Of the grand exalted rulers for the information. Anyway. they have been possessing less use for high priced stars when they had good drama.
 The folk who have been led to be- lieve a picture show could be nc good unless some star of the first magnitude enjoyed a dozen close ups in the gripping drama have been noticing the change. The mere title of the show. rather than the name of some titled star. has been gaining the ascandancy. Manifestly some. body has been saving salary money; and there is a gritting of teeth among the divorees in the Holly wood colony.

PRETZELS

Time was winch pretzels were con- sidered rather low-brow fare. They were found in profusion at certain caravansaries of drink during pre- prohibition days. the self-evident object being to help stimulate a thirst for amber brew. When the brew went the way of many a good thing the pretzels disappeared also. For what was the use Of working up a thirst with pretzels If there was nothing handy to work off the thirst?
 The manufacturers of pretzels, however, were not so easily discour- aged, according to current reports from the pretzel industry, which the esteemed Associated Press thinks important enough to chronicle. The pretzel makers have made of pret- gels a high-bro institutions; they come in various forms, nowadays, and no well-regulated bridge party is now complete without lunch in which some form of pretzel may or may not be prominent. The snappy food is now sold to the extent of c7,000.o00 pounds annually-which beats the output during the days when pretzels were chiefly low-brow munching entertainment.
 The man who invented pretzela was & benefactor to humanity. Un- fortunately. his name is not known, so that no memorials can be erected to his honor. In this country they originated in the wilds Of Pennsyl- vania, where numerous progeny of Hollanders taught native Americans how to like them. The lessons were easily learned.

The newspaper said the information was contained in message received from Miami Beach, Fla. Dempsey having notified Tex Rickard. the promoter, who is there, of his deci- sion.
 The Dempsey telegram informed Rickard that Dempsey's eyes had gone back on him and that doctors orders prohibited further fighting. the account added.
 The Herald and Examiner said it had been unable to corroborate the facts from Dempsey. efforts to locate him in California proving un- aHailing.
 The newspapers Miami Beach in- formant understood that owing to former champions decision Rickard has finally abandoned hope of re- matching Dempsey with Gene Tun- ney, titleholder. and is looking around for another challenger. Continuing. the Herald and Ex- aminer account said:
 "The former champions an- nouncement. which upsets all Rick ards plans as well as those of Chi cago promoters who were dickering for Tunney-Dernpsey bout, was entirely unexpected. Not even those close to Dempsey in Los Angeles had knowledge of if. 1t was only two weeks ago that Jack stated he was planning to go 10 New York to discuss 8 Yankee stadium bout with Rickard.''
