Wins Praise

The quality of her acting as the
Private Secretary in The News
Parade" is winning the praise OF
movie fans everywhere. for this
lovely newcomer to the screen. AT
home in New York City, hundreds
admire her charming personality
and she has fairly "set the style"
on Broadway by the way she
dresses her hair.
The simple method L use in car
ing for my hair says Miss Shea,
has been of great help to me in
my motion picture work, where
ones hair must always look its
best. It's just the thing for busy
girls, too, because 1T is so easy.
Most of the girls know in stage
and picture work are taking it up
as soon as they hear about it. All
you do is put little Danderine on
your brush every time you use It.
It makes your hair so easy to dress
and holds 1t in place wonderfully.
It's ideal for girls who are letting
their hair grow. 1t keeps my hair
and scalp so clean and comfortable.
] don't shampoo half so often, now
1t gives my hair such a silky. soft
lustrous appearance that all my
friends comment on it,
Danderine removes the oily film
from each strand of hair, restoI es
its natural color, gives it more 1us-
tire than brilliantine. 1t cleanses
and invigorates the scalp; helps
overcome dandruff. 1t is delight
fully fragranced; isn't sticky or
oily; doesn't show. Waves, "set"
with II, last longer. All drug stores
have it. in generous 35c bottles.

HURRY LATE
ANIMALS

Start the seeds of the slower
growing ANNALS early, advises the
March American Home. Such
things as zinnia, marigold, lobeia,
petuna, aster, heliotrope, sea
biosa, salpiglossis and a host Of
others will not bloom till late il you
wait till they may be sown outside.
If you do not care to bother with
seeds indoors a good method is to
use a oldframe. 1t is simple to
handle. Seedlings grow rapidly IN
a frame if watered, ventilated and
watched carefully. Snapdragons
may be started by seed or cuttings
may he made from indoor plants
the same as geraniums. Many
times it is possible to start them
from cuttings made from the
stems of blooms purchased at the
greenhouse late in the winter.
There are Is, 900 more boy babies
than girls in England every year,
but the mortality among boys is
higher

i St. Mother
Was Guessing

When your child is underweight,
pale and listless, is bilious, sallow,
feverish, fretful with bad breath,
coated tongue and no appetite, nine,
times out of ten it's a sure sign
her little stomach and bowels are
weak.
Don't experiment in cases of this
kind. Just follow the example of
the millions of mothers who are
using California Fig Syrup to regu
late their children's stomach and
bowels and give tone and strength
to these organs so they continue
to act normally, of their own &C
cord.
Mothers all over Washington are
eager to tell how this rich, fruity,
pleasant-tasting preparation clears
up the most stubborn cases of con.
stipation and makes pale, lifeless
children rosy.cheeked, bright-eyed
and full of energy again. Mrs.
Guy Thompson, 1929 Street n. E.,
says: From the very first my
little girl, Betty, had trouble with
her stomach and bowels. 1t had
me guessing until I decided to give
her some California Fig Syrup,
Soon she started gaining weight
and now she's the picture of
health.''
See that the Fig Syrup you buy
bears the name California" SO
you wont be imposed on by iEni.

FOR NURSERY
FLOOR

Stenciling is a new floor treat
ment which is especially interest
ing for the nursery, says The
American Home. Huge checker
boards can be stenciled and
games of many kinds painted.
This form Of decoration also
offers an opportunity to empha'
size the color scheme of the room.
In a nursery where the floor is
gray and the woodwork blue. a
conventionalized blue border sten-
ciled on the floor would enliven
It and relate 1t more closely to
the woodwork. In a play room
where the floor and walls are in
the same tones. a procession Of
stenciled yellow and black ducks
would make a bright accent.

Choose Y0ur Own
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


l have heard of the good you
have done for others. Will you
help me?
Should a girl let the public
choose her friends? Or should
she have this matter in hand
herself?
Not SO long ago was invited
to a party. There l met a young
gentleman. He has been very nice
to me and invited me out with
him. He has a good position in
a bank in nearby city. He is
well educated, of good character
and family.
Here is the problem: He isn't
dloOking, and remarks have
been made to me about this. IL
| go out with him occasionally.
should l pay any attention to
remarks about his looks? He
dresses well. He is about Il and
l am II.
ONE IN SUSPENSE.
There would be much less trou.
BILE in this world If less heed was
given to unfriendly. personal crit
icism when it serves no useful
purpose.
Many of the finest men in the
world are plain-looking. If your
friend is in every way worthy of
your friendship, by all means
keep him on your list and ignore
uncalled-for remarks about his
looks.

MULCH STILL,
NEEDED

Do not be in too great a hurry
to remove the mulch from your
borders. Take it off gradually
and leave it close by so that it
may be thrown back should cold
spell come. 1t is the alternate
freezing and thawing in the spring
that injures the plants. Where
the mulch is of such material
that it will work into the soil and
add humus, spade it in. 1t is al.
most impossible to have too much
humus in the soil. Do not remove
any Of the mulch from around
your ph3dodendrons rather work
il into the soil lightly, or simply
leave IL to rot down.-From the
March American Home.

Benefits received by cantaloups
and watermelon growers of the Mo-
apa valley through direct marketing
methods adopted for the season just
past. to take the place of the selling
agency system, are shown in re-
port made last week to John H.
WittWer, county agent, by A. l.
Kelly. who was employed by the
Moapa Growers, Inc, to engineer
the direct selling Of their produce
in Salt Lake City.
From 4I.64 per cent 10 1928 per
cent was the increase in percentage
of the amount of gross sales re-
turned to the growers after the eX-
penSes Of marketing were paid. Net
returns for 80 cars in 1928 were only
$5l8.67 more than returns from ~
cars in 1929.
That this 1854 per cent increase
is worth while it is agreed by the
growers themselves and Mr. Kelley
and Mr.. WittWer. who has long
been working toward the adoption
of this system of direct selling.
Insigh. Obtained
The season was almost here before
il was decided TO sever relations
with the previous selling agency and
market their own produce. and con-
sequently some. of the first canta-
loupes were shipped to competing
Some insight concerning numer-
Gus problems of production. grading
and packing was gained by the sea-
sons work, says Mr.. Kelly in his re-
port, which should make for definite
progress in those lines next year.

United Press Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, Up) The
oral fireworks preceding the meeting
of Mickey Walker and Ace Hudkins
for the middleweight championship
of the world was carried on in full
blast here yesterday.
Tonight HudkinS and Walker will
step into an outdoor arena at Wrig-
ley Field as the Nebraska wildcat"
makes his second effort to blast
Mickey from the championship lad
der.
Both fighters, according to their
intimateS, are in super condition
and anxious for the duel. Each, in
cidentally, predicts victory by the
knockout route, Betting odds were
about even.
Walker, oronzed by six weeks OF
rough work at Soper's ranch on the
desert near Ojai, and the pink
skinned HudkinS will present a con-
trast when they step into the glar-
ing lights tonight.
Mickey claimed that the sun at
Soper's where Dempsey used TO
train for his heavyweight battles,
gave him a chance to reach a high
peak physically.
Pm Ready"
Don't think I'm just tanned 4
bit" Mickey said. I'm ready"
To which HudkinS countered: Il
don't tan easily, but how 1 feel!
Take my tip and string with Hud-
kinS."
The Nebraska fighter said that he
considered himself in the best shape
of his career and that he would
have no alibis if he failed to win the
championship.
walker is my big shot" Ace said,
"and I'm going to shoot the works
to win. If Walker beats me I may
retire. I am not foolish enough 10
go on fighting if 1 take bad lick
ing"
Both Confident.
Walker and his manager Jack
KearnS, regard the Nebraskan as a
tough fighter, but not threat to
Mickey's title. Mickey, himself con-
feSsed to such a dislike for Ace thai
he wants to knock him feet first
into the arms of his brothers"
The brothers referred to are
Clyde and Art. who managed the
youngest member of the family and
incidentally help Ace think up wise
cracks" to hurl at Mickey.
Most of the ammunition for the
talk of the IIudkins clan resulted
from a jaunt Walker took through
Hollywood soon after he and Jack
