Read Labels on Bottles Before Buying


prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural -WNU Service.
When you go into grocery store to
buy the family goods, do you read
carefully the labels on the bottles or
packages you select? Do you trust to
your eyes In estimating the quantity
in each container, or do you find out
from the label exactly what you are
getting for your money? Do you COM
pare articles of one brand with those
of another, both in quantity and quail
ity? Do you observe whether or not
the label declares artificial coloring or
flavoring?
Labels must tell truthfully what
kind of material a package, bottle, or
can Of food contains, and what guam
tity. The statement on the label
should not be misleading in any way
to the consumer. Sometimes, how
ever, it may be truthful and still mis-
leading. Again, the appearance of the
container may be misleading, and if
the statement on the label Is over
looked, the buyer gets poor value.
The food and drug administration
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture urges every housewife to
scrutinize the labels on every kind of
feed she buys, as we'll as on the drugs
she needs In her household. In the
case Of foods, it has been found that
most manufacturers and packers have

 POLL PALACE SUNDAY

Absolute faithfulness to the theme of the original story and play, richness of emotions, human appeal, and lavishness of produc- tion mark the Fox Film version of vina Delmars Bad Girl" which will have the New England pre- mier a four days engagement.
 James Dunn, as the husband in the picture, a newcomer to films. scored a sweeping personal triumph with his realistic portrayal. This young man radiates screen person. ality and is headed for the heights. Sally Eilers gives a well rounded performance as the emotionally torn girl-bride in the title role. Another member of the excellent cast, whose splendid character por- trayal added much to the rich en- tertainment qualities of the pie ture, was Minna Gombell, former star of the stage now enacting featured roles for Fox Films. Will Hams Pawley, as the brother, the role he created in the original stage version in New York and Frank Darien, as the proprietro of teh radio store, also scored heavily with their effective characteriza- tions.

EDMUND LOWE. LAUREL AND
 HARDY IN A DOUBBIiE FEA- TURF BILL AT THE PALACE

Superlative entertainment serves best to describe "Trans-atlantic," Fox drama which had its first showings last night att he Fox Fox-Poli Palace theater.
 It is unusually well acted by a superb cast and William K. How ards direction at times is inspired. The settings and furniture are the last word in sophistication and lux ury.
 In brief the story deals with ha dozen or so characters whose lives become entangled aboard ship dur ing an ocean voyage. Edmund Lowe heads the cast.
 The super co-feature on the program you see Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in their first full length comedy feature Pardon Us".
 If there has been doubt in the minds of any Laurel and Hardy fans as to their ability to carry a length comedy, one look at Pardon Us," which opened last night at the Fox-Poli Palace the ater, will convince them they were wrong.
 Those who have branded their previous films as too short will find their first feature-length comedy a decided treat. Not once is there a let-down in tempo and laughs come so fast that dialogue is almost forgotten. Even as a silent their pantomindc antics would be sure cure for the blues.

 An innovation has been intro- duced by feeding the whole reeeiv- ing installation exclusively rom the mains by means of rotating convertors. In the event of an in- terruption in the three phase cur rent from the mains, a reserve accumulator battery is automatic ally switched on. There is also 30 kw Diesel apparatus In reserve.
 The huge dtrectional aerials for reception are the most striking feature. When finished, they will consist of a number of horizontally arranged dipoles oscillating in the same phase and intensity.
 Many of the aerials are in place. others will be ready shortly for the reception of the night waves from New York, Buenos Aires. Cairo, Manila, Japan and Java. Multiple aerials are used for the first time for receiving the 15.S9 m. wave from New York, the 16.S m. wave from Java and the 25.2 m. wave from Cairo.
 The technical installations were for telephony and image telegra- wireless telegraph service, but also extended not only with a view to phy. The new wireless telephony lines to Buenos Aires, Rio de Ja- rleiro, Java and Siam already have begun to function, and the image teiegraphy service with Buenos Aires has been operating for some time.
 On completion of the plant. 40 aerials and as many super receiy- CTS will be available for short wave reception.

CONSTANCE BENNETT IN FOUGHT" OPENS AT THE
 STATE TOMORROW

Warner Brothers Hits of the Century. Show Season" gets off to an suspicious start tomorrow when the first of a new series of hits, Constance Bennett in Bought" that will bring to the State the very cream of the crop of the leading producing com panies is presented. Week after week in an endless procession pa irons of the State will be treated to the utmost in talking screen entertainment, novelties and pleas ant surprises. Joe O'Keefe, the States new singing organist, will be featured starting tomorrow as sur prise number one.
 Constance Bennett scores su- preme triumph in Bought"
 She plays the part of Stephany Dale, a modern girl brought up in poverty and compelled to bear the slings and arrows of gossips who twit her about her doubtful birth. Stephany determines early to get into high society, for money and position, so she believes, safely shield their possessors from un- happiness.
 upon the deatn or her mother she gets position as manne- quin, through the kindness of Meyer, an aged buyer. This gives her a chance to strut like jack daw in fine company and in fine clothes. She has made the acquaintance of Nicky, a struggling young writer, whose love she secretly returns, but hides because it will stand in her way in reach ing her goal.
 Miss Bennett exquisitely depicts the emotional role and she is ably supported by Ben Lyon, who plays tho part of the poor scribbler who is deserted for time, and in the end seems to her a rather good sub stitute. The ancient benefactor who is always in the offlng to give help is played with splendid vivid ness by Richard Bennett, father of the star. Dorothy Peterson, who is remembered in Mothers Cry plays Stephanys mother. The cast includes Raymond Midland. Maude Eburne, Doris Lloyd, Clara Blan- dick, Mae Madison, Edward J. Nugent and Paul Porcasi.

 Written Sob Sister Stuff
By NANCY CARROLL

Hollywood, Calif.--Right now I'm doing what might have been my life's work if hadn't stumbled
 I really had never thought of any career but acting. However, had failed in that am sure l | would have turned to newspaper work, preferably writing 'ssob sister" stuff.
 There was time when I was | in New York that I became tired | of being a song and dance girl in musical comedy. was irmpa- tient because I had not attained stardom. So decided to take a rest from the stage.
 I had become well acquainted with some of the newspaper writ CTS in New York and was in- | trigued with the thrill of gather ing news and writing stories. So I I persuaded one of the colunnnists to make me a rowing reporter for her. I spent most of my time l gathering theatrical items which | | used to write out in long hand. The columnist usually put them in her own style before they were I printed, but still got a thrill out l of seeing them ana haYlng tne- atrical folk wonder how they got there.
 | once an item went in just as I had written 1t and I thought I was getting good. But had not 1 forsaken the idea of going back on the stage. Since am supposed to speculate on what might have l happened to me if I had not con- tinued acting, I might as well do 1 so. After all, any number of things could have happened which would have prevented me from going back to the footltghts.
 Had I been prevented from act ing for any reason, I most certain ly would have turned to newspaper work in earnest. And since l al- ways have had to fight for every thing I've had, have no doubt but
 what I could have trained myself to write. I might even have been in Hollywood to-day, writing chat ter about film folk or reviewing
