Sincerity in Reading

"Read to see, as far as you cam"
says Sir Henry Hadow, "the differ.
ence between good work and bad, and
you will come to like things which
you first of all thought dull, austere
and inaccessible" That is the secret.
Whatever one reads should be read
with q critical eye, not merely raced
through for the sake of its passing
interest but more or less studied for
the qualities it possesses. Every
book, however poor, contains some
thing new and instructive. If one
reads for improvement as well as In
terest, an appreciation of the best
will come as matter Of course"

: HEAR MEDICS DOOM
 THEM TO SLOW DEATHS

NEWARK, N. J.-Five girls, who aye suing the United States Radium Company for dan.ages totaiing SI- 25O,000, heard physicians doc mtistern to slow and painful deaths today.
 Medical expertts, in a hearing be- fore Vice Vice Chancellor John H.. Backes, testified that science had found no means of combating the ra- dium poisoning from which the girls are suffering. They were poisoned, they said, by wetting brushes with their mouths while painting clock and watch dials illuminated by a ra- dium compound
 The hearing was had to decide whether the suits, which were filed five years after the girls had left the employ of the company, could be tried in supreme court despite the statute of limitations. That statute provides that suit must be filed at least two years after an alleged in- jury.
 The girls contend they did not realize the extent of their injuries until the two years had elapsed.

90 recognized screen players and 800 extras and bit-players on the various studio lots or out of town on loca- tion. There are more than ~4,O00 players and about 15,00O extras who, would be working if they could. All this looks worse than it is, for there usually are as many directors busy on preparations for new pictures as on the actual photographing of pie lures, ahd even when production is lively throughout the studio area there are seldom more than 6o0, parts open to the 4,OO0 qualified players looking for them. The number Of extras earning days pay depends on the size of the mob scenes rafhef than on the number of pictures in production.
 But the figures indicate that there is more than the usual nnemploy ment among players, directors and other studio employees.
 Even among executives opinions differ as to just what is happening. Some call it the usual seasonal Hull in productions" others say there is 8 temporary "tightness' of money available for production, due to the vast sums invested by producers in the acquisition of theaters and the ater chains as outlets for their pie lures; still others say it is the old story of 800 pictures being made every year for a market that could get along with zoe.
 Whateve the real explanation, no one seems ready to predict any gen. eral quickening of productive activi- ties until late in the spring or early summer.

 Most of the sctudios which special ize in comedy have closed or are pre- pairing to close for a month or two, and the players who depend upon laughs for living are trying to see the funny side of announcements to the effect that the splendid speed with which the seasons quota of pictures has been completed enable the studio and it's employees to enjoy a little breathing spell before harvesting an- other crop of celluloid.

SCIENTIST DECLARES THAT

WASHINGTON. - Through just what stags the human face passed in development it's present physical characteristics became the subject of a learned dispute today at joint meeting of the American Biological, Pathological and Laryncological so- cieties.
 Dr. H. H. Briggs, of Asheville, N. C., credited to the shark the distinc- tion of being "the first vertebrate with face of typical form." From this beginning he traced it's evolution through the dog and monkey to man.
 "The mouth is the oldest part of the face," he said, land the recession of the snout, correlated with the increase in the size of the brain, is the funda- mental influence in facial evolution" He argued that hhe mouth, thrust forward in the shak to seize food, gradually receded with the develop ment of the arms and hands as a mans of procuring sustenance.
 "On the contrary" contended Dr. J. H. Ingersoll, of Cleveland, "the whole change in the face is the result of the development of the fore brain, rather than the change of food" As the size of the thinking part of the brain" has increased, he explained, it has has pushed the face forward and down until it is below the cranium in man, instead of on level with it, as in the lower animals.
 Several popularly accepted ideas were contradicted at the meetings of the various societies.
 Biologically, twins are really only one person, though they have two identical bodies, Dr. Julian M. Wolf sohn, of San Francisco, told the American Neurological Association. An almost mystic bond unites this dual person, he said, and the two members of the twin person ire quently suffer from the same diseases even though living apart.
 Contrary to the usual belief, neither cocee, tobacco nor alcohol have any deleterious effects on the normal heart" Dr. Paul D. White, of Boston, told the congress.
 The supposed injurious effects of tobacco on the throat was also re- ferred to by Sir St. Clair Thomson, president of the British Royal Med ical Society, who said the women pa tients he had operated on for cancer of the throat were all non-smokers.
 The award of the Kober medal for general distinction in medical work was made today to pr. Victor c. Vaughan, of Ann Arbor, at the clos 1 ing session of the Association of American Physicians.

Hope that the pulp and paper de- velpoment program for Alaska would go through unimpeded and assurance that resources and lecal conditions :. favored such development, were voiced recently to the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce by representatives and engineers of the Zellerbach and . Camron interests who are conducting surveys .hothi near Juneau and at Ketchikasi.
 Those speaking in regard to the de- yelapment were Joseph H. Cameron, San Francisco, whose brother, George T. Cameron, heads the group interest ed, Don Meldrum, forest engineer in :. charge of the timber survey, and Wendell Dawson, engineer in charge of water power studies.
 Mr.. Cameron was hopeful of the ~ outcome of. the proposed program. While disclaiming any knowledge of : the detailed plans of the group inter- ! ested locally, he declared: "We are up here and we hope to stay here and to hay everythin ggoing some day" The. natural resources and favor able conditions for their utilization will eventually make of Southeastern Alaska one of the big paper manu- featuring centers of North America, declared MT. Meldrum. For the past 25 years he has been connected with pulp and paper enterprises on the Pacific coast and during that period has been over most of it's forested aeas.
 He told the Chamber he was in Alaska to study the pulp areas in both the Ketchikan and Juneau dis tricts. "You have here the primary requisites for large development, that is power resources and timber. As far as ou investigations have gone, everything seems favorable" he added.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company es-
Inmates that motor vehicles last year killed more
than $4,000 persons in the United States and injured
at least 100000 more Since 1920, fatalities have
increased 67 per cent. The situation is growing
steadily worse. And the worst feature of all is that
children between the ages Of five and ten years furn
Ssh the major portion of victims.
Here is problem for each community to wrest-
le with, and one worthy of the strongest effort
Many, perhaps most, of the deaths were caused by
carelessness, lack of proper precautions Too many
drivers and too many pedestrians trying beat
the other fellow.
Industry has cut down materially the number Of
preventabe accidents through safety campaigns of
one kind or another and through applying common
sense to remove certain dangers Now the motor

MAKING THE COMMUNITY ATTRACTIVE

Nature is busy these days clothing bleak Ian
scapes with verdant beauty Let us emulate her
example. Let us make strenuous effort to trans
form Nogales into city of notable attractveness.
Let us first clean up own premises, clearing
away refuse wherever it comes to sight, applying a
coat of paint to every exposed surface that needs it,
trimming up the edges of driveway that may de-
mand attention. blocking up some steps or porch
that may need repairs.
In short let us all make strenuous effort to put
our property in first class condition pays Neglect
ed property deterorates in value Twenty-Five dollars
spent in repairs may add hundred dollars in sales
value.
Furthermore the one effective way to make Nog-
ales the community beautiful is for each individual
citizen to look we'll to his own property. AS soon as
you have taken care of needed repairs study over
ways to make the garden thing of beauty as well
as of utility. Perhaps hedge here vine there
will not rob anything from the space for vegetables
but will create more beautiful environment for
YOUR entire home
Then get your neigbor's interest in beautifving
his home For your own home becomes more pleas
ant and more valuable as the appearance of your
neighborhood improves.
It is up to each citizen to make his home and his
town thing in which he may take justified pride.
