LONG PANTS" oPEns
 AT PALACE TONIGHT


 Harry Langdon, First Nationals comedy petentate, was sporting a Rolls Royce on the Burbank lot. The reason, real and reel, was hia newest comedy, Long Pants" just completed, and at the Palace to- night.
 The magnificent road ornament was used by the comieal Harry in those scenes where he is shown returning home from his first big evening party, wearing his first pair of man sized trousers. IL way that Harry puts on the dog" in this sequence will, 1t is believed, be as big a sensation as his snoez- ing sequence in "The Strong Man. "
 Harry literally worked liko a bee on Long Pants" shooting day and night. As a matter ol record. he worked before the cam era more nights than days on this picture. Out of seventy-seyer production days, fifty-eight of then were nights, which sounds like : paradox, but Is just plain harC work.
 According to William R. Jenner l under whose management ta'
 Langdon production was mada Harry was seventy-flye per eel

PORT PROJECT
APPROVED BY
HOUSE GROUP
Isabel Will Get

Maintenance Money
Of $150,000 Yearly

The Point Isabel port project as
submitted to the rivers and harbors
committee Of the house by United
states army engineers, calling for
m expenditure Of $I,600,000 and an
annual maintenance of S150,0O0 has
been accepted by that body, accord
ing TO a message received this after
noon by r. B. Creager, chairman of
the port committee, from Congress
man John N. Garner.
The message, which was filed in
Washington at 1:46 p. m, said:
River and harbors committee has

This is taken 10 indicate the pro-
ject will be passed at this term of

ment of rivers and harbors funds.
of the 81, COO to be spent on de-
velopment Of the harbor at Point
Isabel, 100000 is to be supplied by
the government and 100000 by the
Valley.
To raise the Valleys portion Of the
fund a navigation district is planned,
probably to include Cameron, Hidal-
go, Willacy and Starr counties. This
plan was adopted at a meeting Of the
Valley harbor committee Friday night
in Harrington with every section of
the Valley represented.
Detailed plans Of the project have
not been made public but they in
clude a 800 foot outer channel to a
depth of Is feet and a 100 foot inner
channel e a depth Of is feet. and a
large turning basin.
A sub committee chosen by Mr..
Creager is TO report at a meeting of
the harbor committee in the near flu
ture on plans for organizing the nav
igation district.
The awarding Of the funds for the
construction of a 16-foot harbor IS
just a step along the path Of Valley
progress, in the opinion Of Mr.. Crea-
ger. He declared that the Valley
would not be satisfied with a l6-foot
channel, but that a fight for one that
will be adequate in the years TO come
will have to begin Immediately.
"The 16-foot harbor will prove Of
immense value to the Valley. but the
fullest value will come only with a
30-foot harbor. | am convinced that
before the present appropriation is
expended we will have sufficient
funds for a 25 or 30-foot channel.
j don't think the dredges will stop
work in the interval" he declared.

The Greatest Of Buyers
pasadena StAr-News)


Meet the queen Of the market and shopping
center-Milady America! The American wo-
man yields scepter that commands more
treasure than ever Aladdin's lamp magically
produced. American business is built upon the
patronage of women. They do say that nine
out of every ten purchases are made by wo-
men. Thus does woman rank as the greatest
buyer in all the land More than $4,000, 000.-
600 Of the grand total income of the American
people-$72, 600, 600, O00-was spent by wo-
men last year for food, clothing shelter and
recreation.
Woman's capacity for business management
is becoming generally recognized and appre-
ciated. Some of the feats of household manage
ment by women are truly remarkable. Many
have but limited income from which to pro-
vide food and clothing for the family, to pay
rent or the payment on the home; to provide
for recreation and to meet the many incidental
expenses that unfalingly arise in every house

the meager resources at their command

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 4.-The impa-
tient reply Of the New Yorker to
the usual question concerning "why
he stays there" is: "But there's
everything in the world here.
There's nothing anywhere else in
America. It takes the rest Of the
country about ten wears to catch
up to what New York is doing"
That isn't entirely true; but q
great deal Of it is. It is literally
possible to get just about anything
In the world in New York, from
come trick brand of German cigaret
to last years Austrian composer.
And true it is also that the
things New York picks up this sea-
son take quite q while to trickle
elsewhere. True it is that this win
ter's vogue in New York may never
be heard of in 60 per cent Of the
American cities. This seasons
theatrical success on Broadway is
very likely to have been heard Of by
one out Of 10000 souls the country
over.
But it is this endless parade of
possibilities in New York that keeps
50 many people pinned to its walls
like impaled butterflies. Thousands

THE COST or vrrAMINs

A great deal of research has been
going on during the past ten years
In investigation Of the elusive and
mysterious vitamins. Druggists tell
me that there Is an increasingly
large number Of customers coming
in each day asking for this or that
vitamin, thinking they can buy them
by the package. Indeed, a number
Of manufacturers have put on
products which it Is claimed con-
tain q large amount Of vitamins.
Up to date, no one has been able
to see a vitamin. They are prob
ably not material substances at all,
but some form Of electrical or vital
energy which is contained in vary
ing amounts in different kinds of
food.
Experiments have been made on
animals and birds to prove the vita
min theory, and from these expert
ments it seems that practically all
uncooked ard Impressed foods con-
tain one or more Of the vitamins.
Those who live on q mixed diet,
and can afford to have a large va
riety Of foods, need never fear the
danger Of not being supplied with
enough vitamins. But the one whose
purse is small must select his food
more carefully. If he could afford
to eat plenty of green vegetables
both in and out of season, the vita
min deficiency in certain foods
would be more than made up by the
vitamins contained in the greens.
But the succulent, non-starchy
vegetables are often too expensive,
and the results are seen in the
pinched faces and rickety bodies Of
children not able to get such green
vegetables in proper quantity. The
easiest solution in such cases is to
substitute whole.wheat flour and
other whole grain for the pastries
and buildings, ETC., which they have
been using, and which are deficient
in vitamins.
Vitamin B apparently exists in
large quantities in the whole grains,
and it is absolutely necessary to use
these foods unless the green foods
can be purchased. The problem is
for the poor man to get enough
money to purchase such varied
diet for his family.
Sir Arbuthnot Lane, famous Eng.
lish surgeon, recently said, "Pool
;. children depend largely upon breac
and margarin and jam (nlostly made
Of syrup with very little food in it,
and it is essential to them to have
:. q whole-meal flour. Most decayet
! teeth and ricketts, are due to thi.
diet. It is absurd to waste money
on dentists and dental clinics, ant
on cures for ricketts, due to a poor
diet. For well-to-do people WHIT
have access to a variety of goot
food it doesn't so much matter
, whether they eat brown bread o.
white"
Most families could afford to ust
2 q certain amount of green's during
the winter even if cheaper canned
e varieties were used. The cheap
