State institution.
An order committing Miss Rubens to
a State hospital for narcotic addiction
was issued yesterday on the application
OF the actress husband, Ricardo Cor

secret failed
Miss Rubens, who is seriously i'll, re-
manned at her mothers home today.
She will be removed to the hospital at
the discretion of CorteZ and Mrs. Ru-

An affidavit presented to the court

been a drug addict for four years, and
that for the last seven months she had
been totally under the influence of mar
cotics.
Issuance of the commitment order
may prevent Miss Rubens from being
subpoenaed as witness in a Federal
grand jury investigation of alleged mar
cotic traffic in Los Angeles, which opens
tomorrow.

NEW YORK, February 27-Rubber
manufacturers are beginning to feel
free to make their chief interest the &C
tual making and selling of rubber for
the first time since the Stevenson act
was put into effect in 1922. This UNI
economic act. intended to regulate rub
Der supplies, had caused serious fiuctu-
atoms in the price of crude rubber, and
its repeal in November, 1928, was well
coined by the entire industry. The
profits Of most of the larger rubber
companies had. suffered sharp fluctu-
ationS and the industry as. whole is
only just now recovering from the eff
fects of the act.
Now that the price of rubber is more
or less definite, the companies will make
strenuous efforts to cut down costs OF
production.

The demand for tires has doubled in
the past six years, but there has been
no tendency toward the large combina-
tons which has 'typified the automobile
industry. There are still many individ-
ual units. some large and some small,
competing for the available business.
Several of the larger companies, how
ever, are expanding their facilities rap
idly, and it is probable that the smaller
companies will combine in order to
strengthen their position. Two-thirds
Of the total business Is now controlled
by only five tire companies, which
means that competition for the remain

Loves Awakening '''..'::; s'. a::; x..', s'.'.

I had no answer ready for this plaint which l felt vas only too true, and after a second Noel went on.
 Stones In the Path
 If only I were not so dependent upon my father!" he said. You zee he has it in his power to withhold all my mothers property from mo until l am thirty-five - all. that ts. except the small income which now suffices for my small wants. but which never would care for wife properly. And I never was taught anything useful. Even my musical education unfitted me for anything practical. Those months of playing in that night club were torture to me. I'll never go back to that even if I starve. If only could get further along in my scores. Why. do you know the few things I have sold haven't paid for my piano rent {? Of course. I never dared to put them out under my own name. for my father would have considered that I had disgraced it, 50 l used the name Boris Raminoff. You may have happened to see 1t sometime" ." he finished modestly.
 Indeed I've seen it. Noel" ! answered, trying to make my voice matter-of-fac for l did not wish to startle him in his shy condolences by showing the surprise I felt at his revelation. For l had read several work of Boris Raminoff. and real ized that while the name had no particular financial value, yet he al- ready had secured distinct foot hold in the world of real music. And I wish to congratulate you. Your father will regret sometime that you dld not use your own name. Boris Raminoff's work is recognized as masterly."
 Dreams Of Genius He flushed with pleasure. 'I'd like to tell you something about something I've been at work on for years," he said ''an ambitious thing enough-a musical drama almost operatic. with historical background. But l cannot get the llbretto right. I'm no good on that end. And ! haven't any idea of how it should be produced. If only in- herited some of my fathers genius. But I am my mothers boy alone. l guess. She was musical. but have heard my father say she had no sense of the dramatic and that she was too sensitive and self-conscious to be at ease. and sure of herself as a successful person must be-"
 My heart was hot against Philip Veritzen. Suddenly felt an ever. whelming desire to prove that Noela i genius was fully as great as that of his father. It was as If a ghostly sign of yearning had reached me from the iong-dead lips of Noel's gentle and unappreciated mother. wanted to answer that wrath like appeal. Yet how could l manage 1t?

SOCIAL PREIutDlCE

On patriotic holidays we are won't to refer proudly to this great coun- try of ours as q melting pot for all nations. We love to tell our chill dren that to these United States come the oppressed and down trod- den of other countries to find free oportunity for life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness.
 Yet in the day to day life of home and neighborhood we mention with unconscious contempt certain national and race groups within our community: we even may speak with one open derision of those whose religious beliefs differ too radi- cally from our own.
 On crowded streets and public conveyances the child observes our obvious shrinking from those who are too shabby and unwashed. They note the tone of voice we use to those who serve us. If it implies su. periority. the child will also clip his speech to menials short of cour- tesy. If we laugh at those whose English stamps them as having come from other lands. the child cannot fail to receive a strong im- pression that they are ignorant foreigners" and therefore his social interiors.
 We cannot make ourselves over. Though our ideals of tolerance and democracy may leave nothing to be desired. our feelings remain unciv. ilized. We must then try to counter act the evil effects of our emotional ! prejudices by guarding carefully our words and manners.
 We can at least try to speak i'm partially of those people who are different from ourselves. We can be uniformly courteous to rich and poor of every race. We can allow our children to choose their friends 1 regardless of race or creed in the : neighbohood in which they live. We can give our children books which will tell them something of the cui- I tural achievements of other peoples

didn't know just what to make of it. So he would run a few steps and then stop to listen. Of course. down there in the dark he couldn't see a thing. Then he would run a few steps more and again stop to listen And all the time he kept his ears open for any strange sound and he used that little nose of his as Moth- CT Nature intended it should be used. Somehow, way down there he didn't feel quite so bold as when he was talking with Nanny up on the surface. A strange place always gives one strange feelings. It was 1 just so with Danny. Several times he was tempted to turn back, but each time curiosity urged him on. | He wanted to find Miner.

YOUR HEALTH

The skin on the palms of the hands. the soles of the feet, the shoulders and the back of the neck is the thickest of any portion of the body. It varies. however. from c- i 100 to 16-100 of an inch in thickness i from it's thickest to its thinnest DOT l ton.
 The skin is also subject, of course l to unusal growths on it's surface, such as are represented by moles. | warts, pimples and similar disturb ances. These growths are made up of collections of cells. usually deep ly pigmented. which are different than the normal cells.
 \ Bodily Organ The skin is an organ of the body. just as are the liver, the heart or the lungs. When the flow of fluid to the skin is hindered for any req son, the tissue hardens. thickens and loses its normal appearance.
 In age. when the circulation is in- terfered with by changes in the wall of the blood vessels. the skin loses it's elasticity and its youthful ap- pearance: wrinkles form and the color of the skin may change
 The control of most Of the dis turbed conditions of the skin is de- pendent on good hygiene. There must be good circulation of blood to the skin and a proper elimina- ton Of grease material from the grease glands.
 It is not possible to treat success fully every disease of the skin with a salve, lotion or powder. The methods of treatment of the skin diseases today includes practically every form of apparatus and every method of medical administration known to science
 Effect of X-Isay
 The X-ray is used for producing definite changes in the growth ol the cells. Similar effects are secur. ed by the use of radium. which 1. applied to destroy cancers of the skin, masses of veins, birth-markl and moles.

Danny Meadow Mouse felt that he and Nanny were very we'll establish ed in the Old Orchard. They had made tunnels this way and that un- der the snow and now Danny had discovered that there were some nice little tunnels under the ground. These were the tunnels of Miner the Mole. So Danny felt quite safe. If any one should dig down through the snow after them they could go down into the tunnels of Miner the Mole and there they would be en- tirely safe, unless they should hap pen to encounter Miner himself.
 Danny thought about this quite . lot. Although he had been in Min- CTS tunnels before he did not know as much about this underground neighbor as he felt he ought to know. He wasn't quite sure what became of Miner in the winter. He couldn't remember even having seen Miner in the winter.
 T wonder if Miner sleeps the way Johnny Chuck does, or Nimble- heels. our jumping cousin, and Bus ter Bear and the Snake folk and the Frog folk and lot of others" said Danny to Nanny.
 T don't know" replied Nanny. but I can tell you one thing. and that is that you had better not have too much curiosity. Don't go look ing for Miner. Don't go looking for trouble. He may be asleep and he may not. Either way. it is no busi- ness of OUTS"
 Danny didn't say anything. Nanny eyed him suspiciously, but there wasn't anything she could say fur ther. She had very strong suspi- cion, however. that Danny would slip plore those tunnels. And this is ex- artly what Danny did do.
 ''Of course. he's asleep" said Dan ny to himself. as he started along q tunnel he had not yet explored. "Of course, Miner is asleep. If he were not l would have found him before now. I should like to see how he sleeps and where he sleeps. Nanny is silly. I can't get into any 'rOuble down there. If Miner is asleep he will be perfectly harmless. and. of course. he is asleep. My goodness. this tunnel is beginning to go down deep! It is going down deeper and deeper. l didn't know that Miner went go deep. Hello, here's a branch! Now which way shall go ? don't suppose it makes any real difference. so l will keep on the way am headed"
 So Danny wandered along. He didn't run as freely as he did through those little tunnels up near the surface. He was beginning to have just . wee bit of doubt. You see. there was a fairly fresh smell of Mole tickling his nose and he
