Judge of character and finds out
that she is not so expert after all
by marrying the wrong man, she
gives a truly pleasing performance.
OF course she finally gets the right
man. She would.
Monroe Owsley plays the role of
the bad, bad husband in a very con-
vincing way. You hate him. For
comedy relief Charlie Ruggles and
Ginger Rogers are right there with
the goods.
Besides the cast, another thing
that makes this picture enjoyable,
is the smart and clever direction
of Dorothy Arzner. She is to be
complimented. Mighty interesting
entertainment.
On the stage this week I want to
mention the Three Jacks who know
how to tap dance with vigor and
spirit that is catching. Also Julia
Curtis, ventriloquist, who uses two
live dummies with good effects. The

In another instance, the Valley is b~enefitting because
of an organization in which the Valley as a whole has per-

The South Texas Chamber of Commerce has helped

Perhaps the most notable service rendered the Valley
by this regional organization was that given by its traffic
department in briefing the Valleys case for the removal
of the Robstown differential.
u. S. Pawkett, traffic manager, represented this Sec
ton in as able a manner as could have been desired, and
as a result of his efforts and those of several Of our Valley

Every religious belief has asso-
ciated with its rituals various rules
regarding diet and food. The Ortiz
cdox Jewish religion forbids the
eating OF pork or meat CT any
animal with clOven hoofs. IL f0rbids
the use OF shell fish. 1t has fast
days and Ii forbids the mixing OF
meat and milk at any single meal
Indeed, SO extreme are the ways IN
which these rules are carried out.
that IL is forbidden even to use
the same dishes for meats that
have been used for milk and vice
versa. The Catholic church has its
days on which meat is forbidden.
II has long periods in which adher-
ents voluntarily deprive themselves
OF various foods. and 1t also has It's
fast days. The Hindu will not eat
the meat Of the sacred COW. The
Seventh Day Adventists are vege-
tarians, and many strange beliefs
are inclined also to diets without
flesh.
After all, our actual knowledge
of foods and their relationship 10
health il comparatively recent. II
Is less than SO years since any
actual scientific knowledge had
been brought &c bear on the chem
istry OF foods, their digestion and
utilization in the body. IL Is less
than rs years since the elements
known as vitamins began to be
studied in their relationship 10
health and growth. II is but a few
years indeed since the actual inn
portance Of such mineral substances
as copper, iron. iodine, manganese
and even calcium and phosphorus
began to be fully understood.
The various people OF the world
live on diets that vary greatly in
their composition. The Eskimo
eats the entrailS Of animals. He
considers as a special luxury the
contents Of the stomachs of animals
killed In the hunt. He even eats
bird droppings. People in tropical
regions eat tropical foods that arc
rarely available in temperate eli
mates Labrador and Newfoundland
natives eat meals that are in no
sense OF the word balanced and
which are. in fact. limited to a few
simple food substances. Most OF the
food supplies are obtained in ex-
change for the seasons catch OF

pork, salt beef. oleomargarine. q
few beans and peas, q good supply
Of Goldfish and tea constitute the
diet Of the majority Of the people.
There was a time when the vast
majority OF Americans were limited

occasional vegetable. Today the
American families OF even the poor
group use diets that are much more
varied.

Letter

NEW YORK. - Each Monday
morning during the hot summer sea-
son. the Manhattan newspapers re-
port some 400 children being lost
in the Sunday millions al Coney
and the Rockaways.
Now 400 children happens TO be
quite a few younsters, and the job
OF taking care OF 10000 OF them a
year is not SO simple as II seems.
Coney has a beach mother" who
is an old hand at keeping children
amused until parents arrive. Her
name IS Carrie Whalen and she
seems to be able to stop the most
frightened child from crying. To
be sure, she promises that daddy"
and mamma will arrive bringing
nothing less than the moon.
As a matter OF fact, n cynical in
vestigation made during the past
few years has given the Coney po-
lice reason to believe that a vast
percentage OF lost" children are
deliberately lost. That IS to say, par
ents who want a day of play and
release from parental responsibility
are not above conveniently losing
the younster. well aware that II will

day they show up and claim their
offspring.
Those mothers and fathers, who
find that a youngSter has wandered

one Of Conveys minor problems
this season has been that or intro
ducing neckties to the amusement
park dancehalls.
The Coney crowd Is made up OF
most all the ingredients OF New
York. a great majority coming from
the East Side. the Bronx and those
sections where shirt sleeves and no
coat, vest or tie Is worm. Saturday
and Sunday afternoons are likely TO
be hot for quite a while now. and
there have been few rules and regu-
lations for anything ave bathing

1t was Rex Billings, who arrived
from youngstown, o., this year 70

a bright idea. Out youngstown way
things we're not quite as they are
nc Luna. Wherefore, Billings first
dispensed with the free dancehall
idea and in~augurated a 10-cent ad-
mission policy. Finally. when the
necktieless brigade kept showing UP
early in the season, Billings had a
number OF cards printed. Not wish
