Two Features
 Come to Garden
"Sit Tight" and Beau Ideal" Booked for
 Patrons

'Sit Tight" is the name of the new Warner Brothers comedy featuring Winnie Lightner and Joe k. Brown but sitting is about the only thing these two do not do throughout the picture.
 In spite of this misnomer Miss Lightner and funny faced Brown do the most strenuous work of their careers in this harvest of guffaws which opens Sunday at the New Garden theater for three days.
 Winnie is a health doctor and Brown is Jo-jo the Tiger, her corre- spond ce-school- wrestler and assistant. Between them they lead the patients a merry chase and the audience, too.
 Beau Ideaf,' thrilling sequel to "Beau Geste," drama of the Moroc- can desert, is the companion picture. Herbert Brenon who directed Beau Geste" is said to have achieved an other dramatic victory in it's sequel.
 Ralph Forbes. who was started on the road to stardom when he was discovered by Herbert Brenon and given the role of John Geste in "Beau Geste,' plays the same char Acter role in "Beau Ideal" Another discovery is seen in this sequel in the person of Lester Vail, a new conner whose screen success seems assured by the splendid performance he gives in his first film.
 Others in the excellent cast in clude, Loretta Young, Irene Rich, Don Alvarado, Leni Stengel, Otto Matieson and others.

Norma Shearer
 in "A Free Soul"
Palace Offers Popular Star in Lavish Settings

An expressing story, brilliant act ing, expert directing and ultra lav- ish settings contrive to make Norma Shearer's new screen drama, "A Free Soul" which will open at the Fox Poli Palace theater Sunday for q four days engagement, one of the outstanding pictures of the year.
 Miss Shearer, who seems to be turning out one success after an other, never looked more stunning or acted more convincingly than in this dramatic and fast-moving story of a modern girl who has been brought up. by brilliant; but con stantly intoxicated father whose theories on freedom estrange her from those she loves and even tually makes her the central figure of spectacular murder case. s4
 4 Fascinating Plot
 When the father finds his daugh- ter in the arms of a notorious gam bier he realizes that freedom may be all right in theory but not in practice. Torn between love for her father and the gambler, the girl attempts to make compro- mise by consenting to give up her lover if her father will renounce the drinking which is bringing him lower and lower in the esteem of others. When he fails the dis illusioned heroine decides to abah- don herself to the gambler but fate decrees otherwise.
 z Lionel Barrymore is dominant figure as the lawyer father who bares his own past in court to save the happiness of the girl whom in his love he has so terribly wronged. Excellent performances are also of- fered by Leslie Howard as a million aire sportsman in love with Miss Shearer, and by Clark Gable, who as the gambler, eclipses his previous work in Dance, Fools, Dance" and .''The Secret Six" James Gleason and Lucy Beaumont do we'll by smaller roles.
 But chief honors must go to Miss Shearer, who combines an unusual beauty with a magnificent acting ability and a power to make the most of every dramatic opportunity. In her new vehicle she proves her self to be even more fascinating than in her two earlier successes. "Thc Divorcee" and Strangers May Kiss"
 The direction of Clarence Brown as usual combines an artistic standard with a delft presentation of dramatic values.

FARMERS TURKEY FLOCK
 LIVES UP TO DREAMS

Rupert. Idaho. (UP)-For once agricultural mathematics worked out and D. Grisienti, happy Jack son farmer, is the benficiary there of.
 Early in 1890 Grisienti indulged in that sport of speculating on how much his flock of turkeys would increase during the season. It was fine fun to imagine squadrons of small turkeys following his hens.
 But this time dreams came true. For, at the end of the season. Gri- sienti's flock of ten hens had in creased to over 300. He sold enough birds to receive $500 and still had a fine nucleus for 1881.

MEMPHIS SPORTSMAN
 ARRIVES F0R SIXTH
 ALASKA B|G CAME HUNT

Gum Buckingham, widely known Memphis, Tenn, sportsman, was in Seward yesterday making pre- parations for his sixth big-game hunt in the Territory. Assisting him was his guide, Russell Anna bel, whose headquarters are at Anchorage. Buckingham'S plans are to voyage down Cook Inlet to either Chinitna or Inskin bay, where he will hunt Kodiak bears and hair seals until the season is far enough advanced to permit a pack-horse trip into the interior of Alaska.
 Leaving Broad Pass about June 10, Buckingham and Annabel ex- pect to make a four months trip that will take them to the head waters of the Yanert fork of the Nenana river and thence to the Chickaloon watershed via the Wood river country. Trappers and government survey men report the region abounds in sheep, bear and caribou, with an occasional moose. From six to 10 horses will be used, and Tex Cobb of Mata- nuSka is scheduled to go along as packer.
 Buckingham is known to hun dreds of Alaskans as a genuine sportsman and one who makes singularly few kills, contenting himself for the most part with observing wild life in it's natural setting and finding enjoyment enough in being out in the north ern wilderness away from traffic clomar and the odor of burnt gasoline.
 Last summer, with Annabel and Cobb, he made an exploratory ex- petition into the unmapped region between Knik glacier and Port Wells which resulted in the open ing of a new game range within easy airplane distnace of railroad towns. A lake, 20 miles long an6
 seven miles wide, was discovered
 and on the mountains bordering
 it, approximately 1000 goats wer'
 counted besides a number of bear
 and quantities of small game.

and cuff links. If you wore softer
shirt waist this also had a high neck
In order to keep the waist in place you
pinned the back of 1t to your skirt. This
was a fussy job Sometimes the corset
cover had ribbons drawn through 1t.
There was a good deal of discussion in
the newspapers as to whether 1t was
decent for q girl to wear colored rib
bons that showed through her waist.
People got very excited about 1t the way
they did later about short skirts.
You had to have fresh shirt waist
every day, and you had to pin shields
into itr-a fresh pair each day.
The high collars had to be boned in
order to stand up. These bones had a
way Of bending and wearing out, and It
seems to me we spent about half our
time sewing bones into collars.
Then your hat. Since It sat far back
on your head and your hair was long.
YOU had to wear veil. Otherwise, in
the least wind, your hair would blow
wildly Even TO go marketing my
mother wore veil. Your veil got very
much in your way, especially In cold
weather when you had to blow your
nose. Men liked to lift them UP, how
ever. for kisses.
All this was pretty expensive. The
cost Of neckwear, shields, wells and
hair nets ran into q good deal OF money,
and SO did the laundering Of all these
shirt waists.
II you never have done any of these
things they may seem amusing. but
know no woman OF my age will forget
the wasted time and the physical dis
comfort caused by the complicated
clothes. When short skirts came in
there were persons who we're astonished
because people over 35 wore them. My
goodness! It's the women over 35 who
know the diScomforts of those old
styles. can see myself still as a young
girl going to work, in a slushy New
York street, with one hand through a
muff grabbing a bag. and the other
hand holding up my ankle skirts. When
I had to add an umbrella to this mess
you can imagine the results. And I was
one Of millions.
It's appalling to think we may 20
back to these uncomfortable and time
wasting styles.
Incidentally, we all looked 10 years
older than we were.

their work may write to Miss woodward, in

There was q scene in the class room.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There are always days when, with q
clear conscience, can give over this
space to "helpletS" from the readers.
Not often, / hasten to admit, for all
the suggestions receive are not prac-
teal or desirable, and some Of them
have appeared time and again. When
I do receive something I think helpful
I am glad to pass it on.
The most frequent cause Of our old
enemy, the common cold, is a direct
transfer of germs from the sick to the
well. Every one has colds and every
one able to stagger about does not hes
itate to do so. No wonder in the
elimination Of colds and their frequent
ally, pneumonia, science has made
practically no advance, in comparison
to its conquest of other diseases.
Mrs. p. S. w. does not hesitate to
offer her sneezing and coughing friends
a face mask when they call on her.
She writes: IT had cold and the doc
tor advised me to protect the baby by
wearing a face mask. made them OF
bandage gauze, three by four inches.
several layers thick. Two pieces OF
narrow elastic, each six inches long,
mask at the neck and the other at
about the line of the ears. So many
visitors say, oh, won't go near the
baby and then cough and sneeze, while
fumbling for q handkerchief. in close
proximity to him. Baby gets the full
benefit Of the spray"
Mrs. j. J. X. offers this suggestion:
Use the small metal cup on top Of, q
vacuum bottle as baby's feeding cup.
In this put foods so thin that they
would spill IL overturned. Baby has no
difficulty digging up q spoonful from
this small, deep container, and II 1t
upsetS in the dish in which 1t Is placed
there is no harm done.
Mrs. K. A. p. sent me small finger
stall similar to ones she has used sue
cessfully with Misunderstanding children
and grandchildren. It Is made of mus
lin and fits the thumb, being longer
on the outside edge and on this portion
stout string or tape Is fastened which
is tied about baby's wrist and holds
the stall in position
The encouragement to thumb-suck-
ing is the row of white bone buttons
sewed straight around the stall at about
the line Of the joint, so that baby's lips
cannot close firmly on the finger and
no enjoyable sucking is possible.
She suggests the use of this at night
If baby Is a persistent thumb-Sucker
and thinks the method advocated by
this department, to take the baby's
thumb out without comment and offer
a counter attraction, should be done in
daytime. We think this device offers
the same encouragement as one of the
more expensive metal or silver finger
stalls.
In the same mail came letter from
a nurse relating her success with the
counter attraction" method. She
always thought up something particu-
larry active for the 2-year-old child to
do when she started to suck her finger
and in three weeks the child no longer
did it. We are heartily in sympathy
with this method, for it serves to habit
the child to a more active and, there
fore, more stimulating life, and roots
out the very cause of the sucking which
Is often just an indication of inactivity
and boredom.
