Another Worry

A little while ago the problem of retaining that slender screen silhouette was enough to keep many movie actress awake nights. Now the problem has been complicated by the arrival of talking pictures, and players have had to vary their reducing exer- cises with exercises designed to build up the speaking voice.
 In some cases this is even more complicated than it sounds. For the actress who has been fighting a double chin it is tragic news to near that her voice-exer- cises are likely to encourage the development of what some might call grand opera chin. Certain vocally important muscles, it seems, are unfortunately placed where their healthy development might be misconstrued by the movie camera. which seems to take a diabolic delight in nak- ing any woman look heavier than she really is. if

Indiana and which was used by the F., B.. o. organiza- tion for the filming of her most popular novel, "The Harvester" which opens an engagement at the Coliseum Theatre tomorrow.
 During her eleven years resi- dence in the famous Limberlost Cabin, Mrs. Porter herself planted more than 2O,GOO wildflowers in ad- dition to the great number which already existed on the property.

Fishermen Distinguish

 Old fishermen watch the water. If the fish rush along the surface in body they are mackerel. If they merely ripple the surface in the manner observed when a body of water impinges against counter current, they are porgies or herring.

Ex-SOlDIERS ENTITLED TO TAX
EXEMPTION FOR 1929 PROVIDING
PROPER PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWED

According to word received from
A. R. Lynch, sepcciai council! of the
department. of the attorney general
OF Phoenix and directed to Harry
Farrior, county assessor, honorabiy
discharged soldiers, sailors, army
nurses and so forth are entitled to
1929 tax exemption. The order
clarifies conditions under which
license plates shall be issued to
ex-service men and answers many
inquiries received by Mr.. Farrior.
Consequently, Mr.. Lynch points
out, the exemption ould not ap-
ply to soldiers, sailors and nurses
now in the service. The intent of
the law, it was explained, is that
it shall apply only to honorably
discharged soldiers, nurses and so
forth who are not in the service
at the time exemption is granted.
The plan answers the question
which might arise where soldier
had been honorably discharged and
had reentered the service and had
been dishonorably discharged.
Those. desiring to take advan-
tage of the new law must place
their discharge on record with the
county recorder and fill out the re-
quired affidavit furnished by the
county assessor. The law requires
that a person must have been a
resident of Arizona on January l,
1927 to be entitled to benefit of
exemption.
