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

DERSONS often assume, with
l. out further ado, that we
possess a so-called moral
sense"
They think Of this moral
sense as an instinct.
Normal, law-abiding citizens
possess this instinct and be-
have in accordance with it,
they say.
DelinquentS and criminals, on
the other hand, are, according
to the theory. partly or wholly
deficient in moral sense.
The assumption of a moral
sense is a simple and easy way
Of getting out of a difficult and
complex problem.
That such distinct separate
faculty exists does not, how
ever, seem plausible.
Moral conduct is conditioned,
so far as. we know, by many
factors.
Part Of our moral behavior
is the direct outcome of hered-
ity-of the moral conduct Of
our ancestors.
Part of it is the result of our
early training in childhood. in
Guiding religious concepts.
Part of our morals is the re-
suit of circumstances.
And lastly, part of it comes
from a reaching and towering
from within ourselves in a way
that BATTLES location, deScrip-
ton and explanation.
All men and women are, in
deed, not born equals!
1t would help if there were
such a thing as a distinct and
readily recognized moral sense.
Unfortunately, however, the
existence of such a distinct en-
tity does not seem to be!
What standards should father
and mother adopt in the train
ing of their children when the
standards are not SO clearly de-
fined nor as strictly drawn as
in former years?
If, for example, a mother be-
lieVeS that smoking leads to i'm
morality when practiced by the
young she should not herself
to smoke like a chimney if she
would have her own daughter
refrain.
Nor should the pendulum be
swung too far in the other direc-
ton, so that the girls and boys
are led to think of their elders
only in terms of what is old
fashioned. unnecessarily strict
and completely out-of-date.
The best standards are the
common-SenSe ones, the kinds
that have always been effective.
those for which a distinct moral
sense is not even necessary
simply ordinary intelligence.

HERE S where Civilization gets
IA a longneeded boost. Yale
University has started its new
INSTITUTE OF HUMAN RELA-
TIONSHIP.
What does a human being
need to learn FIRST and
MOST? A trade? An art? A
profession? No, he needs. above
everything else, to know how to
GET ALONG WITH OTHER
HUMANS. Without that knowl-
edge, all his other wisdom is apt
to prove fadeout. Yet that is
the one branch of essential in
struction which no school gives.
Take the common problem of
GOOD MANNERS. Not "eti-
quette," nor complicated social
ritual but just simple,
pleasant, normal behavior. Ev-
eryone can learn it " but
how many do? Think OF the
thousands OF people you've
known who never seem to get
across" In life. Why do they
fail? Are they stupid, ignorant.
malicious? No. they're usually
bright enough, well trained,
kindly. Yet they never get their
chance. THEIR DISAGREE
ABLE PERSONALITIES STAND
IN THE WAY.
They've never learned how to
handle themselves. They do odd,
irritating things. They cape or
gable, sniffle or shuttle, crouch
or giggle, humble or Squawk.
They are untidy in their per-
sons and diSoredrly in their
habits. THEY ARE PSYCHE
LOGICALLY UNGROOMED.
Trivial traits? Yes. But they
are traits which get the goat of
the whole human race. And be-
cause of such traits, lives which
might have been rich, go lonely
and poor through all their days.
But surely they don't need
schools for things like that"
you say. Cant their friends
or relatives tell them?"
Be your age, chile! Have you
ever TRIED to tell new steno,
for example. that she talked
too much or needed a neck
shave? Or suggested that or

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland
Sure and Deadly

NEXT to dead love there is
~ nothing quite so DEAD as
dead joke. That's why when
l come across an "old-maid"
joke, l feel like laying wreath
of immortelles at its feet and
lilies at its head.
The census may prove that
there are more than q million
unmarried women in America.
But there are no "Old maids"
They all disappeared along
with gaSoliers, high shoes, tat
ting and refined manners"
There are plenty Of volun-
tary spinsters. But you can't
tell them from divorces or
happily married women, except
by the fact that they can
usually afford better hats, give
bigger tips, and have more
time and money for matinees.
The unmarried woman of
today doesn't try to laugh off
her single bleSSedneSS by call
ing herself a bachelor girl"
And she is much more likely
to think gratefully of the man
she just escaped marrying,
than to think regretfully of the
man she just missed marrying.
This doesn't mean that she
doesn't WANT to marry. She
DOES. Every normal woman
knows that marriage is the
naural climax to Life'S Little
Drama. No woman's life is
complete without the COM
radeship of the Right Man.
And no honest woman will
deny this.
But when girl has listened
to the woes and walls of a
lot of her married friends,
and has had a chance to OBJ
serve their husbands off-parade.
she almost begins to wonder if
there ARE any right" men
or any men who STAY right"
after marriage.
She knows that life without
cOmpanionShip is lOnely-ollly
half a life. She would gladly
exchange her latchkey for a
kitchenette and her desk fer
cookstove if she were sure
of getting the "companionShip."
But. on reflection, she pre-
fers the occasional attentions
Of a few men to the permanent
inattention of just one. The
irregular devotion and presence
of beau, to the regular alb
Sence of a husband.
The modern girl can't see
the use of spending her best
years training a man in the
way he should go--just in
order to have him go some
other woman's way, as soon as
he can afford a valet and a
couple of motor cars.
The bachelors struggle to
keep out of matrimony never
discouraged a girls dreams of
marrying. But the married
mans struggle to escape from
it has dampened all her rosy
enthusiasm.
Marriage may be a daring
and venturesome thing. in these
days-but single blessedness is
a dead sure thing. Sure ard

This is the latest Of the Vanities
of which the serial number is seven.
Despite the calls from Hollywood,
he has retained the services of w.
c. Fields, who is now the highest

to that same Hollywood effort to
corral MIN for the movietone.
Fields, too, has come to the apex
of his career in this "VanitieS." He
appears in nine Of the sketches,
some of which he wrote himself and
in which his rare gift Of subtle
humor shows to the best possible
advantage.
Carroll has surrounded Fields
with a company of a hundred peo-
pie, chief of whom is Dorothy
Britton.
She is a lass whose first appear
ance on the stage was as a show girl
under the banner of Carroll after
the wise judges of the International
Pageant of Beauty of Galveston,
Texas. had bestowed the title Miss
Universe" upon her after her con-
test with beauties representing the
entire world.
She is one beauty who has talent
and Carroll developed it and ad-
vanced her through the ranks until
now she is the featured feminine
lead in "Vanities" with parts to play
and things to do.
Other o%utshining lights among
the speciality performers are Ben
Blue, the Bennett Boys, Theodore
Enrica and Novello, joey Ray,
Grace Wells, Paul Russell. Patrick
Henry, Dorothy Lull, Elsie Conner
and Vivian Wilson. Then there are
f1fty-six of the highest salaried and
most beautiful chorus girls who ever
appeared on any stage.

MURDER MYSTERY
NOW At PALACE

The next of the super pictures to
be offered on the screen of Loew's
Palace theater during Loew'S Janu-
ary Festival celebration brings to
the theatergoers of Indianapolis the
film version of an actual happening
that baffled the police OF many
cities.
Those individuals who enjoyed
the two popular m~ystery-tilm sue
cesses. "Unholy Night" and 1.-THE
Thirteenth Chair" have a treat in
store for them when THE Bishop
Murder Case" comes to the Palace,
Saturday. with such prominent fea-
tured players as Basil Rathbone,
Leila HyamS, Roland Young. Alec
B. Francis, and a number of others.
The new all-talking murder
drama, adapted by Lenore j. Coffee
from the S. S. Van Dine best seller
and filmed under the joint direction
of Nick Grinde and David Burton IS
reputed to be by far the best all
around myStery-flm as yet to come
out of the Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer
studios in Culver City. Advance re-
ports indicate that particular care
was taken to give the new thriller
a number of original twists and Sc
quenceS which keep the audience
on it's toes while confusing it as to
the identity of the real murderer.
The plot concerns a series of MUIR
derS done by a person who leaves a
black chess bishop beside each vic
tim and send jeering notes in
Mother Goose" rhymes to his pur-
suers, notably, Philo Vance, the
popular detective of the Van Dine
tales. The solution of the mystery
is completely cloaked until the last
ten feet of the film.
The settings utilize the rooms of
the home Of Professor billiard, the
remarkable library of Pardee. the
chess enthusiast; the Stuyvesant
Club of New York; Central Park,
New York, and an archery range
between the two homes. The myS-
terry starts when Robin, Familiarity
known as Cock Robin" is found on
the archery range with an arrow in
his heart.
Directors Grinde and Burton
selected their cast with especial
reference to the fact that detective
stories must be very well played, if
the twists of the plots are to be
hidden. Basil Rathbone came from
THE Last of Mrs. Cheyney" to do
Philo Vance. Alec B. Francis, the
splendid old character actor, was
cast as billiard.
The other key parts are those of
ArneSson. played by Roland Young.
