 Eddy, Phil told herself, was a nice boy ard he understood Gin ger. Best of all he had a sense Of humor, was, in fact, what Ginger called real human being and had fallen in love with Ginger in her days of bare-skinned knees.
 It frequently happened that Gin ger was tied up with engagements with different college boys home for vacation, or with the friends who came with them, in which case she usually managed to work Eddy into the party as an escort for her friend. Patty Sears. That was really wherein lay Patty's greatest value in taking Eddy off her hands and yet keeping him in the party.
 For Eddy was a powerful ally, a valuable addition to any party. He was older than the others and he never lost his head. The towns people liked and trusted him, re- garding him as sort of reliabl balance for the heedlessness of the average youth, and more than once he had been eftacacious in extri- eating his associates from the em- barrassing difficulties their imma- ture emotionalism had goaded them into.
 Ginger's own emotions, as far as men were concerned, were in a state of safe but deadly somnolence. She was not at all sure that she believed in love; her personal opinion was that she probably did not. Love, she found, was apt to be either rough or messy, and neither mani- festation appealed to her.
 Also, as she cheerfully confided to Phil, eff occasionally one does let go for minute. and lapse into complete eroticism-see Freud-one is so flushed and perspirey the rest of the day it simply isn't worth it!" Taken all together she was against love. Something to do," she said, that's all people need"

highly enjoyable comedy drama. Betty Compson is seen as the state ly but ardent Helene.
 Mary Duncan as Mona is another charming creature less inclined to jealousy; perhaps, but surely no less ardent. Ian Keith as Valmi appears as a blase, magnetic figure, and the, affection which he inspires fin the two contending married women is quite understandable. Jeanette Loff. Lawrence Grant and Lionel Belmore are thoroughly praiseworthy in other important roles, and round out cast which is truly all-star.

 I think much croup could be pre- vented; we are too fiendish about fresh air. Fresh air, yes. but not too cold, and not in big sudden doses. Screens to protect the chil- dren; night caps for tender heads, and loose sleeping bags in bitter climates; dry beds; warm beds: lined or padded at the head and foot and sides; beds away from walls where cold air flows upwards from the floor. All these things are safe- guards. And please remember also that too sudden change from day. light warmth to nightly chill is re- sponsible for many types of cold be- sides croup.

 Story of EurOpe's Maddest Court,
 Drawing Crowds to Warner Bros
 Strand.
 A daring tale of Europe's mad dest court and the love affairs of a diplomat ordered to make love to the cabinet officials wives in order to influence an important decision forms the plot for "The Boudoir Diplomat" a delightful talkie that opened a four day engagement at Warner Brothers Strand theater yesterday.

This Baron Valmi, g. philandering bachelor, is already deep in an affair with Helene, wife of the ambassador, his superior in the diplomatic service. And the unsuspecting ambassador, as a means of influencing an im- portant decision of the war minister, instructs Valmi to lavish his cus- tomary passionate wooing on the person of Mona, pretty young wife of the cabinet official. Since the ar tistic Valmi makes a practice of painting a nude miniature of each new flame. Helene's jealousy is aroused, and she appropriates the undraped little painting already made of herself, intent on showing 1t to her husband and thus bring ing down his rage on the head of the inconstant bachelor.

Corrinne's first impulse, upon. see- ing Harry, was to turn and run. Then she tossed her head up higher. She would be cool, calm, remote. She had known that his detectives would tell him where she was but she hadn't figured that he, himself, would come to see her.
 Then she noticed the curious stares of the girls.
 "Oh, sweet cucumbers" one of them gasped. Speaking of paup- CTS, millionaires appear! That's Harry Becker. Now what does he want down here?" She pulled out dust her nose with powder that was too coarse and too pink. "Never mind, he's married" Corrinne heard her own voice of- fering.

Those young mothers without experience who hear for the first time the deep hoarse bark of croup are often panic-stricken and I am sure nobody planes them.
 If there was ever sound on earth calculated to strike terror to the mothers heart it is this. But after experience with his plague of babyhood she learns to regard it philosophically. She knows that there are certain things to do and she does them quietly, skillfully, confident that the little sufferer will be all right.
 There Is comfort in this fact too. There are two kinds of croup, mem branous croup, and it usually. re- spends quickly to treatment. It is not to be classed with the more sera- ous diphtheretic type. of which for tunately there is not one case to hundreds of the other kind.
 There's Usually Warming
 Moreover, diphtheretic croup usually gives warning. The child is i'll beforehand, sometimes for sev- eral days. In any case of croup should send for a doctor, but if 8 mother has the slightest idea that the attack may be diphtheretic she should not lose Q second wonder ing. Get the doctor there as quick ly as possible.

 After few experiences with or- dinary croup I found that I was often able to handle the case my self. But this did do, and I ad- wise every other mother to do the same thing-I had minute direc- tions from the doctor how to pro- ceed, and I kept at hand a remedy he prescribed for just such emer- gencies. I was never without 1t and when the supply got low I had the prescription filled at once so I wouldn't find an empty bottle when I needed it.

NANCY PAGE Joan is Going to Have
 Her First Party .,
By Florence La Ganke.

Joan was six years old-and was she proud of it? For the past week she had done nothing but talk about it and about her party. This was the first party she ever had had, for Aunt Nancy did not believe in par ties for smal, children. She realized that birthday parties for two and three years olds were nothing but an excuse for parents, especially fond mothers-to show off. And she knew, also, that children's par ties left children upset emotionally and physically. Too much food, too much excitement always have an aftermath

 Keep them," Sarah command ed her. Harry won't think you are losing your pride. It's common sense. The trial will start soon. and when it, does you can't work. Hold on to them. If you don't need them you can return them later. I know how terrible it is to be absolutely broke. I've been there" So Corrinne folded the bills up, slipped them in the toe of slipper, and hid the slipper un- der some blankets in the ward- robe.
 She was going to be mighty glad that she had some money a little later.

practically destitute. In the current
districts the peasants are ruined. In

affected districts. He was received
everywhere by enlbittered peasants
bearing black flags
In Lechsna the peasants collected
at the railway station and demanded
immediate relief measures and not
talk. Similar scenes took place in
Gartunis and Adravidas. In Anna
hadia 10000 peasants from the
neighboring villages streamed in to
meet the Minister. In Sturochoni the
peasants halted the Ministrial train
In Pyrgos the Minister was met By
tremendous masses of peasants carr
rying black flags. Similar scenes
we're witnessed at all stations along
the line. On the way to Messina his
motor-car was stopped by about
1000 peasants who shouted, Down
with the government! " In order to
avoid the indignant and rebellicus
peasants it was decided that the
train should not stop at a number
Of stations, but peasant women and
children forced it to halt by stand
ing on the track. In Diabolitzh 5000
peasants demanded immediate relief
measures and threatened to take it
by armed force unless the govern
ment showed signs of effective action.
The cynical comment of the finsn-
ciaI organ of the government, "Elef~
theron Wilma" is, 1.-The state is not the
partner of the peasants, and it is
not an insurance company which is
responsible for making good the
damage suffered by the peasants. .

In the local unions the reactionary

these betrayals. The fake progress
sives are trying to impress the dis
contented union members that re-
form is possible for the Hutchinson

Capitalist newspaper accounts yes
terday featured the dissolving Of
Catholic Action" by direct order Of
MusSolini, and the retaliation Of the
Pope, who called off the Italian
Eucharistic Congress which was to be
held this year, and partly severed
relations with the fascist government.

tack on various Catholic institutions
which followed charges made in the

conference recently planned an up
rising against fascist rule.
The article in the fascist news
paper and the last few days fascist
rage against the Catholic Church,
with which, in February, 1929, a for
nal treaty had been made, are TO be
traced directly to the growing econ
omie crisis in Italy, the increasing
misery of the masses and the attempt
of the Catholic hierarchy to substi-
tute itself for secular fascism in the
job of crushing down the workers and
peasants. whose resentment has
reached q dangerous pitch. In this
attempt the Pope has not hesitated
to try and capitalize on the misery
and resentment of the masses, who
hold fascisrn responsible.
The now famous Papa1 encyclical
letter, "Quadrigisimo Ammo, after
thousands of words of vague and not
new soft soap for the working class,
contained, towards the end, bold
proposition which has ben curiously
overlooked both by friends and enc
mics. The Pope in this proposition
outlined a perfect" future state to

Compulsory Collaboration.
The advantages of such a form Of
society are, in the words of the Papal
encyclical, STRIKES and lockouts are

of special ministry"
This is exactly the proposal Of fas-
cism, never actually realized by the
fascist regime in Italy. With this

starve to death in the hot sun Of
a baseball bleacher than in a filthy
gutter. You've read about the SYM
pathetic gent who advised all I'M
employed to get rowboats and go
fishing. Or adding to this, why
not get a gun and go hunting? The
implication is plain. If you catch no
fish, drown yourself. If you shoot
no game, shoot yourself.
In line with these last two fake
and alphabetically humane" sug-
gestions comes the suggestion from
cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh, Akron
and others. They are telling the
unemployed to turn over a little soil
on q little land and plant a potatoe.
