To Break Up
a Cold
In a Jiffy
Feel Like a New Person
In Just a Little While

People have found out that new
tangled ideas and notions don't
break up colds. So millions have
turned back to first principles
and use what they know breaks
one up in a jiffy. Even a little"
cold is too dangerous to trifle
with.
The thing to do is to get Hills
Cascara Quinine at any drug
store. Take two tablets now.
Then follow directions on box.
Drink lots of water, too-that's
all.
Soon you'll start to feel ike a
new person. Things will loosen
up, your head will clear, aching
go-you'll be back on the job
with wallop.
Get Hills now. 1t is a scientific
formula made to do one thing
UeH: to knock a cold-not to
cure a thousand ailments. Get
'your money back if it doesn't
work with tt0ice the speed of any
thing else you've ever tried.

Court Clears Docket
Of Criminal Cases

ROCKVILLE, Md. Dec. with
the disposal Of two cases yegter-
day the criminal docket for this
term of the Circuit Court is
cleared UP, it was announced by
States Attorney Robert Peter, jr.
Mr.. Peter added that this was
just about the speediest criminal
session which he is able to recall.
Usually it takes 10 days and some
times two weeks to dispose Of all
the cases. This time only six
days were required.
The chief reason for the early
clearance, Mr.. Peter said, is that
there we're no homicide cases on
the docket. Any new appeals
must await the March term Of the
court.

Fantastic Tales

The body was stretched out on
the ground, uncovered, and there
It lay for 40 minutes. With such
unadulterated tragedy present in
front of me it was hardly pos
sible to give any attention to
the near comedy occurring about
200 yards away.
With some dismay and surprise
I picked up the Pulitzer journal
next day to read a colorful &C
count of the incident which re-
cited in some ghaStly detail how
a dead man with eyes fixed on
the ring, an unnoticed silent fix
ture in the Babel of seething spec
tators, sat upright but unseeing
in his seat while ring history was
being made. And another more
imaginative account had him
shouting "Hoch der Schmeling,"
and then dropping dead from
overexcitement.
From such graphic but 1maglna'
tive legends stories are written
and plays are made. Subway

COW BOYS GIVE
THRILLS AT
EARLE

"The Border Legion" Is one Of
those hard.riding, hard-shooting
pictures In which the cowboys
call the beautiful, innocent-eyed
lass IAN ornery little devil" and
refer to themselves as tough
hombreS." Since the same expires
sions occur in practically all
Western pictures I should judge
that one Of the. easiest jobs In
Hollywood would be dialogue
writer for that type Of film.
The picture at the Earle Thea

countryside in the early frontier

The band Is getting along beau

girl from q neishboring town and
brings her to the hideout, where
she is held In the expectation that
some information may be got out
of her. There is gold In that there
town and the bandits naturally
want to know where it Is hidden.
But the girl will divulge nothing.
Her courageous refusal to tell
wins the admiration OF the out
laws. In practically no time sew.
eral of them are in love with her
and the inevitable dissenSion fol-
lows.
There is an upright and honest
to-goodness romance between the
girl and Sam Cleve, . recent con"
vert to the Border Legionnaires,
and it is Sam who escapes to the
town and tells the inhabitants
where he girl is hidden.
At this juncture the outlaws de-
scend in force on the town. There
is a pitched battle In which most
of the band is wiped out. The sur
vivors shoot it out with each
other and in the end young Sam
and his girl have practically the
whole of Idaho to themselves.
There is a good deal Of cana
raderie in the Border Legion
crowd and their quips and pleas

camp fires were received by the
audience with stenterous delight.

ROMANCE

Beautiful music and expert

Golden Dawn" a Warner Broth

nance.
The story is an old. old one
of love and intrigue, with q tropi-
cal setting, Africa. Dawn, q
beautiful blonde, stolen in in
fancy from white parents, is
reared by the natives to be the
bride Of the god, Mulungi.
The British rule the province
and an English officer loves the
gorl, as does also a black brute,
who knows the secret Of her
parentage but who covets her for
himself. However, as . suppl
cation for rain, the girl Is to be
sacrificed. The story deals then
with her rescue and subsequent
establishment In her own realm,
the wife Of the white man.
Vivienne Segal is the beautiful
woman. Possessor Of o voice OF
remarkable sweetness, the lovely
Vivienne charms with her several
plaintive songs. The open spaces,
always difficult for the singer,
seem q strain for her at times.
Comparing the current songs
with those of Bride Of the
