An Opening

tT Upon first arriving here 1,
~ thought I had hit upon a..
splendid money-naking scheme.
Naturally I had come to Florida
with some hope of toasting my toes
under a friendly southern sun. 1t
had been my intention to write
scof1ng postcards back to frozen
friends saying, Sleeping under
blankets, wish you were here"
But the first night got much
more than I bargained for. This
was not warmth, but sitting and
mIggy heat. This was the sort of
weather which would send hun
dreds of thousands of New Workers
scurrying to sthe mountains and
the northern forests.
And so my notion was to open
up a shop In which to sell building
lots in New York. We would have
pictures of driving snowstorms and
of hail and sleet and people with
red noses and frozen ears. I don't
see why it shouldn't be possible to
pOpularize cold as well as heat.
However, I'm afraid there Is a
flaw in my scheme. Out-of season
Strawberries are not much good,
but people will pay high prices for
them just because they can be had
before the usual time. And here in
Palm Beach, natives of New York
sit and fan and mop their faces and
pretend great jubilation as they say.
isn't this wonderful? Back home

ing because this is about the time
the janitor forgets to turn the heat
on"
AS matter of fact, when &c
comes to heat, New York can turn
on just as Furnishing a brand as
Florida has ever known. But when
1t arrives it is served up indiscrina-
ately upon the entire 7,0O0,o 900,
and so nobody values it.

PubIic's Interest
THE ALLEGATION of federal fun

VIE aIIocatlon OF FEDERAL funds
I for the building of roads that
lie entirely within the state, while
privately-owned toll bridges exist
between states, scarcely harmonzes
with the principles on which our
political system rests.
The first duty of the federal gov
eminent should be to look after pub
lie interest where the states have
failed or where there is a question
of state responsibility.
Why not nationalize all the
bridges over all boundary rivers and
let the federal government look
after them?

DURING warm weather all ever
~ the country and in resorts in
California and Florida, sun bathing
has become a popular tonic.
Most people have learned by now
that the ultraviolet rays are not
transmitted through ordinary win
dow glass. Few people realize the
difficulty of securing sufficient ultra
violet while outdoors, unless the rays
are permitted to strike an un-
adorned skin.
The bureau of standards, through
Drs. Coblentz, Stair and ScI1offstall,
has recently completed some iaves-
LEGATIONS of the ability of ultraviolet
rays to pass through fabrics of vari-
GUS types.
The present investigations show
that the rays pass most easily
through open-weave fabrics of va
rious kinds: and that lit makes but
little difference owhether the thread
is of cellulose acetate, cotton, wool
or silk.

Q--Is mercurochrome as eff

.A-Apparently there is little
choice between mercurochrome
and iodine in their effective
ness. The iodine smarts some
what more than the mercuro-
chrome, and in the case of very
severe infection may be some
what more efficacious.

Editor Times-A poor little girl
mother, only Is, was in ten-cent
store Saturday getting something
for her baby and thief snatched
her purse. She called for help and
nc one even attempted to stop the
person who got it or help her one
bit. She works every day SO hard
and on that bad morning last week
had to walk four miles to the car.
No buses were running.
She had no money left, even for
bus fare or for board for herself or
the baby. I think it is terrible
when person can't even shop, for
fear of thief. It is awfully hard
on this poor little girl. The hus-
band doesn't help her any and then
to work so hard for her mohey and
have it stolen!

Al Jolson, the worlds greatest entertainer, comes 10 the Capitol th"atcr Sunday next. in Warner Bros. latest all-talking, a1l-singing picture, Say It With Songs"
 Say it With Songs" is a person. ality-plus picture and packing per sonality into pictures is Al Jolson's S particular gift. Call it fcrvor, mag notism, luck, wit-what you will this strange ability 10 electrify ev- crybody everywhere belongs to just one person Jolson,
 There is probably more of Jolson in Say It With Songs" than in ei thor of his talkies. In some mex phCahle way he dominates every one he touches while a picture is in process of production and the talk ing camera and the taking-camera together catch all the brilliant high lights, and tender by-lights of his remarkable voice and presence.
 While the early scenes Of Say It Nth Songs" were being recorded, the same difficulties that have bosct the early scenes of "rhe Jazz Sing er' and "The Singing Fool" ap- peared. The crew and cast became so onthralled during Jolson's first song that business practically stop ped.

STUDY TAXI SYSTEM .
 FOR CITY OFFICIALS
Council Committee Considers Ending Monthly Allowance Plan

The taxi system of providing 1 transportation for city officials and omploycs, which was under consid- cration q few years ago, was dis cussed at some length last night at a meeting of the special committee of the common council looking into the advisablity of doing away with the arrangement whereby some car owners in the City's employ receive $40 q month for their use.
 Secretary Walter L. Bell of the municipal garage commission told the committee tine taxi system works well in Hartford, and Councilman w. D. Boyle, committee chairman, agreed, having become familiar with the arrangement in the Capital City and being impressed with it. It was pointed out that the taxi sys- tenn would, in all probability, make possible the use of fewer cars than are now being maintained by the city The fleet of cars would be housed at the municipal garage and when one was needed, it would be furnished, returning to the garage when it's mission was concluded.
 Repair Work Done Elsewhere
 Mr. Bell told the committee that some municipal departments do not have all their automobile repairs made at the municipal garage, nor do they make all their purchases there, although they are required to do so by the charter. The commit tee voted 10 canvass the several de- partmcnts having automobiles for statements of the amount of servic- ing and cquipping of cars done since 1927 in places other than the gar age. The committee will meet Mon day, Sept. 23, to consider the situa- ton further, and at that time the registrars Of voters and the assessors will be asked to inform the commit tee as 10 the extent of use of auto mobiles in their work. l.. 4.

JOAN CRAWFORD|S
 STRAND FEATURE
"Our Modern MaidenS" Is Story Of Today's Sons and Daughters

Joan Crawford made her bow as a full-fledged star and at the same time gave the screen one of the most powerful dramatic roles. not only in her own career, but perhaps in the entire history of modern drama, when her new Metro Goldwyn Mayer vehicle. Our Moder2 Maidens," a sound 'ynchronlzed production. opens at he Strand thcater Sunday at 4 o'clock for days.
 The new play, hailed as the ep.c of the Jazz age, is gripping, fan .astics, frothy, scintillating - and under the tinseled spectacle Of modern youth there lies dra- matic theme as huge as life itself.
 Miss Crawford's faultless acting, plus the masterful direction of Jack Conway, brought this huge theme to the screen in perfectly moving piece of pure entertain- ment.
 It is story of a girl caught in the midst of the whirl of the mod ern jazz age-a girl led to believe that anything is right that brings pleasure, and that one may bargain with the devil and cheat him too for pleasure.
 How she learns the great laws of life tht underlic any artificial conventions or style made ethics forms the basis of the drama. Ser in magnificent modernistic settings. great and spectacular locales an.i fantastic surroundings. it is sye- baffling as well as grippingiy dramatic.
 Miss Crawford rises to supreme heights as an actress in her scenes with Rod La Rocque and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, who play the tWo leading roles among the men in the play. Albert Gran as the mil llonalre father, Anita Page as the rival sweetheart Josephine Dunn, Eddie Nugent, and others in the cast were ideally chosen.
 Josephine Lovett who wrote Our Dancing Daughters" per haps more than anything else re- sponsiblc for Miss Crawford's having been made a star wrote the new play.
 AS an extra added attraction those funny comedians, Stan Laurei and Oliver Hardy, will be featured in their new all talking comedy Birth Marks which is a guaran- teed laugh maker. Other subjects include the strand News, Vitaphone 1. acts.
 On Thursday the feature movi. l. will present the Warner Bros. Vita . phone hit "The Hottcntot'' with El ward Everett Horton and Patsy Ruth Miller. An excellent program of vaudeville will he in addition 10 . this photoplay.
