Some men are built morally like
the Tower of Pisa-it's just a
waste of time trying to straighten
them up.

tries to Pollyanna you, just as
you are winning the fight.
Before marriage a girl draws
a man OUT by asking him ques.
tons about himself: after marriage,
she DRIVES him out by the same
process.
Somehow, when a man finds out
that his wife doesn't appreciate"
him, you nearly always find that
he has had another woman's help
in making the discovery.
The go1d-digger seldom stakes
her cIaim on any man under 80

is easy.
The modern girl camouflages
her real feeling with so much
pep" jazz, and enthusiasm, that
you'd never suspect that she was
merely marking time" until she
hears the strains OF the wedding
march.
A good wife, good teeth and a
good digestion are blessings which
a man never stops to think about,
until he loses them.

LISTEN WORLD!
Are We An Uncomfortable Nation?

A JUNGLE OF INSTRUMENTS
OF COMFORT"
We multiply our luxuries-we
spend our lives in slavery that
we may buy these luxuries and
to them-and yet we do not achieve
comfort.
WE DO NOT ACHIEVE COM.
FORT. BECAUSE TRUE COM
FORT CANNOT BE BOUGHT.
Comfort isn't a SURFACE SEN
SATION-something that soothes
the skin or pleases the ear or
tickles the palate. It is an INNER
EXPERIENCE that satisfies the
spirit.
Unless your spirit is satisfied
you cannot be comfortable-or at
peace. For real comfort and real
peace are one.
AMERICANS HAVE MORE
POWER THAN ANY OTHER
FOLK, BUT LESS PEACE. THEY
HAVE A TREMENDOUS MAS
Terry OVER MACHINES, A
DEEP KNOW LEDGE OF
MONEY, BUT THEY HAVE
VERY LITTLE MASTERY OVER
LIFE, VERY LITTLE KNOWL-
EDGE OF THEMSELVES.
A poor European peasant who
is happily adjusted to his small
farm and simple home is really
more COMFORTABLE than the
struggling, restless American mil
lionaire whose greed for power
will not allow him to be still and
humble long enough to get ad'
.justed.
! A Prophet once said: MAN
CANNOT LIVE BY B r e A D

We Americans, in our pride and
power, have tried to live by the
bread of our success alone. And
the tragic consequence is-WE'RE
A MALNOURISHED NATION.
RICH CHILDREN WHO STARVE
AT A FAT TABLE!

A S parents are you not anxious
"A to protect your children from
the hard and disagreeable things
which they need to build up char
acter and to teach them to think
and act for themselves ard be
able to take hard knocks without
flinching?
Perhaps you remember the
"hard-sledding" of your past and
YOU hope that your children may
not experience anything SO hard.
Unless you are pretty well fixed
financially you cannot expect
that your children can escape
some periods of financial stress.
In fact the richest men often
have periods of business depres.
sion, and it is your place as a
parent to develop the sort OF
character that can and will
weather such storms.
Help your children over the
hard paths but don't make all
roads easy.
It is better for a person to ex-
perience the bitter with the sweet
and it will be less likely to let Suc'
cess go to the head.
Instruct a child to fight against
adversely, not to avoid it.
Objectionable, disagreeable things
are bound to creep into any young
persons life, and to have been
too thoroughly protected is to be
unprepared and at a great dis.
advantage when the hard things
Of life present themselves.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DE-. Louis e. Bisch-

THE skin is structure that
II is much more complicated
than one might suppose. In the
first place, the skin has several
important functions.
1t covers and protects the en-.
tire body.
1t is an organ of elimination.
The skin likewise is an absorb.
ing organ.
1t regulates the temperature of
the body.
Important glands of secretion
are located in the skin.
Lastly, the skin holds the deli
cate tactic corpuscles" by means
of which the individual expert
ences the sensation of touch.
The skin is not composed of
single layer, but of two layers
The outer is called the epidermis
or cuticle. The inner or deeper
layer is known as the derma or
CUTS.
It is in the structure Of the
derma or ''true skin" and under
meath it that the sweat glands
are situated, likewise, the so-called
''sebaceous glands"
Hair also grows out OF the true
skin, for here the hair follicles are
to be found. Hair and nails are
really only special notifications
of epidermis.
When the epidermis-the skin
we see, So to speak is examined
under the microscope it is OBJ
served as made up Of dry, flat.
tened scales. In some parts of the
body the scales are more numer-
Gus because rubbing Of the skin
is more pronounced.
The derma is a much tougher
structure and is remarkably elias
tic.
The sebasceous glands referred
to above have little ducts which
open upon the surface of the skin
or into a hair follicle. These Sc
basceou glands have direct con-
nection with the ''black heads
which are apt to bother US so
much. The purpose Of the glands
is to oil the skin and hair. This
is done by means of the oily mat
ter secreted by the gland, and
known as sebum. When the open
ing of the gland is clogged with
dirt the sebum is not poured out
but accumulates in the gland canal
and more or less solidifies. That
is why the black head looks like a
worm when squeezed out.
The sweat glands are coiled
in shape, about one-sixteenth of
an inch long If measured un-
coiled. It is estimated that
there are about 2.3S1.24S sweat
glands in the body. Their entire
length, If placed end to end,
would reach to about two and
one-third miles.
Hair protects the body from
heat or cold, especially the head.
It also helps to retain the heat
of the body by preventing radia-
ton. 1t likewise acts as a pro-
tector against foreign matter en-
tering the nose. lungs and ear.
Each hair has its root embedded
in the hair follicle. The hair
proper is called the shaft of the
hair. Inside this shaft lie the
pigment cells which give the
color. In similar way, pigment
cells lie in the lowest layers of
the derma and give color to the
skin.
Fiat hair shafts give rise to
curley hair. Round hair shafts
keep it straight"
The epidernis of different parts
of the body varies in thickness
as does also the epidermis Of one
individual as compared 70 another.

JIM THE CONQUEROR"
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Tom Santschi thinks realism in motion pictures can be sometimes carried too far. The veteran screen actor carried a bump on it's head the size of a robins egg for days as the result of a realistic en- counter with William Boyd during the filming of the Metropolitan production, Jim the Conqueror," !" which is at the Palace for the last time tonight.
 In one scene, Santschi and Boyd engage in a bitter struggle on the balcony of hacienda and during the struggle Elinor Fair, who plays the feminine lead, is supposed to tap Santschi on the head with the butt of a pistol Miss Fair tapped him all right but did it 50 forcibly that Santschi careened over the edge of the balcony with even more realism than the director or scenario writer had ever hoped to inject into the scene. Luckily for Santschi he landed on pile of straw on the ground below and suffered only racking pain in the head.

Local Schoolboy Boxer Gets Real Test Tn Rob-
 erts Match Saturday

When schoolboy Sammy Nelson climbs through the ropes next Sat- urday night in the semi -windup of ,he American Legion's boxing show, he will be facing the hardest test Of his ring career, which though brief has been remarkably good. In Young Eddie Roberts he is meeting , flash boxer, a clean hard hitter and a fairly good ring general.
 If the local lad can take Roberts in his stride, he is just about ready to graduate into the main event ranks. Nelson's career has been confined to local bouts. Starting as a preliminary lad about two years ago, he has improved until he is regarded as first class timber for the semi finals. His Labor Day fight against Red Dolan marked him as a game battler who only needs more experience and training to meet almost any good boy of his own weight.
 Roberts furnishes an opportunltS to see how far Sam has advanced It was Roberts who fought Tiger Leyson to a standstill on the Vets Labor Day card And that was real scrap.

THREE FEATURES
AT THE INDIANA

The Indiana is offering three big
feature attractions on their pro-
gram this week. Gene, Ford and
Glenn, popular WLW radio favor
ties, headline the bill in an act of
song and comedy. Assisting in the
comedy are those well-knoWn char
acters, Jake and Lena.
Woman Trap" the all-talking
Paramount picture taken from the
stage play Brothers," is the feature
screen attraction. Evelyn Brent,
Hal Sicily and Chester Morris are
featured.
Bobby Jackson is to, be seen for
the last times this week in his
farewell show, Vacation Days"
Woman Trap" is said to have
a plot that is real, vivid and human.
1t is a melodrama of human rela-
tionships. 1t tells the story of two
brothers-one who loves the law and
enforces it, the other .defieS it, one
a policeman and the other a crook.
Climax follows climax as
traditions" of the screen are ruth
lessly cast aside. There is no boy
and-girl" romance, but a deep I'M
relenting love between man and
woman. 1t is a picture said to be
cruel in it's dramatic sharpness,
swift as a whip, and with a
dramatic blow just as singing.
There is humanity about woman
Trap that makes it a great picture
Characters are colorful, yet real. A
beautiful romance unfolds, but IS
not allowed to flower until deep
tradgedy strips two hearts bare.
The conflict is not only man
