two exceptionally bright stars lead

Manhattan Cocktail" is the story
Of New York backstage life chosen
to co-star this young pair and both
the young players and the story do
Justice to the selection. The flash
ing personality of Nancy Carroll or
the sympathetic figure of Richard
Arlen alone would add lustre to any
picture. The combination of the two
in this dashing piece produces an ex-

Joyable entertainment.
In the early sequences of the pic

the picture, the life behind the scenes

Thrilling night scenes, dramatic

which comes to the Capitol theatre
for Monday and Tuesday. Fox
made no mistake when he cast this

seems to improve with each Fox re.

been called beautiful but brainless."
1t has been suggested that we call
Miss Valli beautiful but brainy."
She certainly must use her brains in

the length Of the disease, the con. stancy of the high pressure and the circulation of the blood in the heart muscle itself.
 Hardening Of the arteries of the heart itself they believe bears some causative relationship to essential high blood pressure, since such changes in the coronary blood ves- sels were found most frequently. They found that about IS per cent of deaths in persons over 50 years Of age are due to primary hyperten- sion. Men are more likely to be troubled with the condition than are women.
 The available evidence indicates strongly that high blood pressure is hereditary and familial, but, as is pointed out by the Minnesota inves- tigators, many more studies are needed before the exact relationships can be determined.
 It is notable. moreover, that over- weight tends to be associated with high blood pressuure and that the high blood pressure tends to come down with reduction in weight. On the other hand, many obese peo- pie do not have high blood pressure, and the disease not infreQuently oc- CUTS in those who are underweight. Copyright 1928. NEA Service, Incl

have had part in saving 4,00o girls mostly under IT, in Chinatown, tht 1 Brooklyn Navy Yard area, and latel in Greenwich Village. Might clubs, speakeasies and pro. hibition now hinder the work of say. ing girls" Miss Livingston charged
 With the passing of the saloo,, and the establishment of clubs and speakeasies. the seats of crime and the meeting places for criminals have shifted and become harder to find.
 Nowadays 1t is comparatively simple to ask girl to the theater, an after-theater supper and then take her to one of the disreputab ble night clubs.
 Chinatown may have been clean ed up. But Greenwich Village is fill- ed with speakeasiest that, in their way, are as vicious as the old dens down on the Bowery.
 "All this makes it easier for girls to be lured from the path they want to follow and harder to help them back onto it again. Prohibition is largely responsible for the increased number of girls who need saving"

FLOATING IS EASY!

l all worried. It may reassure you to See the blue heavens or the top of the swimming tank.
 l After you get your position ac- curately. you will feel light as q cork, and find you can ride the bil- lows with the same ease as | cork. Try not to mind if the water breaks over you. You will stap on top unless you get fright ened and turn over or let your back collapse or swallow water. Floating is one pleasure many persons might learn without know ing how to swim, if properly taught.
 One can help a beginner. if hs is careful not to help too much. Putting the hand under the back and holding it there any length of time accustoms the floater to that much support. But if one just arches a floater's back and leaves him, it might help.
 The straightness of the body is the main thing. Keep the feet near the top of the water. This can be done by kicking slightly every time they seem to be gettinr away.
 After you really learn to float you will find that you can breathe, look at the scenery and enjoy life on top of the waves.

 Floating is really easy as can be. if you remember 10 think of your backbone while doing it.
 Take the deepest breath you can and turn on your back as you do 1t. kick your feet up slightly, if they seem inclined to fall to the bottom, as most untrained feet do. Keep the body arched. Don't bs afraid to let the head rest back on the water. It is as if you were sleeping on a bed without pillow and your head felt a bit lower than your body
 This is the only way you can float successfully. For if you in- slst on raising the head, that arch or the backbone is flattened and you sink.
 Keep your feet together. You can put your arms down at your sides. This is perhaps preferable until you get experienced. Then you can fold your arms under your head for pillow and it makes no difference.

For years she had been absolutely free agent, re- sponsibl to no one for even the courtesy of an explanation of her actions. My query concerning Harry Underwood, though put as mildly as possible, yet called to her attention the fact that having accepted his contrition and brought him back into her life again, he, as her hus- band, ought to have some explana- tion of the advent of the BriNtons before her letter was sent out.
 She waited for a long minute be- fore she answered me, and when she did speak, 1t was with the flip pancy which she so often uses to cover up her deeper feelings.
 Thanks for reminding me I have a peri actly good husband down ill the froat yard' she said. "Of course, l ought to tell him about this before writing to the BriAtons, but honestly, l hate to.

Longer Skirts, Maybe:

I may even be that skirts, like hair, may decide to forsake the abbreviated. | Formal skirts still have that wav- ! ering uneven hem so dear to wO- l men by this time. It is in the in- ! formal daytime things that I sense | the real change. They show the effect of all this lengthening here and there by adding an inch or two outright to their regular hems.
 Of course I'm skeptic about their ever being real long for daytime again. The smart woman likes her freedom of motion too well.
