The Sensation Is Pleasant
During this phase the smoker

detached from his body, and an

The smoker of the weed soon

from idea to idea. And many

One is Sally Blame: the other,
Lorette Young. Sally is the eldest
of the three Young sisters, all of
whom are in the movies. Sally
started in pictures in 1926 as
Betty Jane Young. Because she
was often confused with her sis
ters, she later changed her name
to Sally Blame. Sally has made
a lot of films during her short
career and has just signed a FIVE
year contract with F. B. O. to
play featured roles.
Loretta Young (may we call
her Sally Youpg's sister?) is un-
der contract to First National,

prominent roles recently. Eyecu-

ture and are planning some big
chances for her.

nection with the gradual strength
ening of the rail stocks it is in
teresting to note the decision of the
interstate commerce commission to
draw up what will be regarded as
an official railroad consolidation
plan. Inasmuch as the president
elect is said to regard this subject
as one of national necessity, 1t
would appear that progress in the
solution of our rail problems will be
more rapid. The decision of one of
our leading banking institutions to
again recommend a railroad COM

indication favoring this theory.
There is excellent reason we believe
for a shifting of investments from
