METE0RS DUE ON
 THIS SUNDAY NIGHT
Midnight to Dawn Best Time to
 Observe Sky Display

Philadelphia, Aug, 6 P(-The beautiful Tears of St. Lawrence" as the Perseid meteor showers some times are called, are due for their annual visitation to earth fittingly enough next Sunday night, Aug. II.
 The best time to look for them is between midnight and dawn, in di- rection of the constellation Perseus. Their radiant the position from which they come rises in the north east shortly after dark, and is not tar from directly overhead at dawn.
 Named by Peasants
 The name Tears of St. Lawrence was given them by Irish peasantry more than a century ago. Astronom- ical records identify them first about 100 years ago.
 "Of all the annual showers they are the most certain 10 return with average richness said Dr. Charles P. Olivier, professor of astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania and president of the American Meteor so- ciety Also, as they come in August, WHtl lISHlS dl lC Sllll VI tttDlS warm, they furnish the most eXcel- lent opportunity for a person casual ly interested in meteors to see a good shower. While numerous from Aug. 10 IS. yet from Aug. 10 to 13 one is certain to see large numbers. par ticularly after midnight. Many of the Perseids leave very bright and en- during trains which being beautiful phenomena add to the interest

The earth will occupy very nearly the same position in it's orbit on the early morning of Aug. 12 next, and the shower may be repeated if the den sity Of the stream encountered is bout equal to that through which the earth passed eight years ago.

To guard their lovely skin -both at home and in their studio dressing rooms
9 out of 10 screen stars use Lux Toilet Soap

LOVELY skin-soft and smooth and clear! A Without it, no girl is really charming, no matter how attractive her features.
 "It's impossible to over-emphasize the lure of smooth, beautiful skin-it's the greatest of all, think" says John Ford, Fox director-and voices the experience of 39 leading motion picture directors.
 "I don't believe any girl has ever become a screen star without studio skin skin that is smooth and lovely without makeup" he con- tnues. ''A popular stars possess this charm.'
 Unless screen stars skin appears hawless under the glare of the huge incandescent 'sun- spot" lights, she cannot hope to capture the enthusiasm of the great movie audiences.
 It is for this reason that 442 of the 451 n- portant actresses in Hollywood, including all stars use Lux Toilet Soap. It keeps their skin so exqusitely smooth! And all the great film studios have made this white, daintiy fragrant soap the official soap in their dressing rooms.
 The next time you see Lois Moran or Fay Wray or Irene Rich in closeup, notice how smooth b. Lux Toilet Soap keeps her skin.

He went to her now as naturally as they would

But first he told the three women what Char

him keep It from his mother.
From the other ode Of the gentle tree

dropped like disillusioned mouth.

He had come through the woods. As he went
back by the road and one Negro after another

him of something which he could not have

Of, almost equally, God and the devil, but she

DEFENDS SHOOTING
BY LIQUOR AGENTS
Letter of Law Cited in Trial
of Coast GuardSmen for
Killing.

BIZ United Press
ELMIRA, N. j., Jan. 26.-The let
ter of the prohibition law is to be
used by attorneys defending Glenn
Jennings and Frank L. Beck, coast
guardsmeny on charges of man
slaughter growing out of the fatal
shooting of Jacob D. Hanson, proini-
nent citizen of Niagara Falls, N. Y.
Hanson was shot from a dark
roadside when he failed to stop his
motor car at the command of Jen-
nings, and Beck was brought to
trial with Jennings, because it was
under Beck's orders that the shoot
ing occurred.
Chief interest in the trial has
centered on the issue of how dras-
tically coast guardsmen and Gus
toms officials can operate in enforc-
ing the prohibition laws, and the
defense has indicated plainly that
it would center it's case on the fact
that coast guardsmen are permitted
to shoot If necessary to enforce the
prohibition law.
Defense counsel, in cross axamin-
ing Lieutenant Clifford D. F'eak,
first assistant to the chief OF the
intelligence bureau of the coast
guard, asked him:
"If the defendant, Jennings, shot
into the automobile (Hanson's) to
cripple it, was he entirely within
his rights in performing his duty?"
"He was Lieutenant Feak re-
piled.
AT another point the defense
counsel led Feak to tell the jury
that the law permits coast guards
men to halt and search automobiles
anywhere in the country.
The trial was adjourned late FRI
day afternoon until Monday morn
ing
