 That was Ted.s voice, calling her back from some dizzy height. Of course she was all right. How silly to have imagined that she wasn't.
 But she couldn't swing out. Not l now or ever. She was afraid.
 "Scared, Sarah? Why you are
 hardly up in the air at all!" With a superhuman urge, still
 with closed eyes, Sarah threw the force of her body toward the pal cony where Ted watched. She Ieit
 herself moving, slowly at hrst' then gaining speed. She swung pack, and opened her eyes as she did so. She realized that she must keep them open now, If she would judge her distances. She swung out again. She didn't quite reach the balcony. For the third time she started on the journey across the space that lintervened. Ted caught the rope. She could | feel him pulling in the swing. Then his hands were pulling her to sate. lty. She reached for the railing or the balcony with one hand, and then she was being lifted across.
 There was firm floor beneath her feet. The swing went swaying back to it's position in the center or the
 room.

 Sarah's tone was low but it was pitched differently. It was just for
 Ted. But Joan, who had climbed

"1t isn't as much fun as it looks. You'll be much happier down here" After all, Joan loved Ted. Or had loved him once. Lately she had wondered if she still did. At least she was engaged to him. And whether she was or wasn't didn't matter Mental suffering, of course. was the worst kind of pain, but phySlcaI rear now anu Ihoh' """

 "And I'm going to try it now! Ana
 if I fall, all right"
 Sarah sat down on the top step
 of the stairway leading to the all
 cove.
 She was trembling and nervous
 She wanted to get away from the
 gaiety that she had forced. It had
 lost its tinsel glamor. She looked
 up at the girl who sat quietly in
 the swing. Joan wasn't going to
 turn somersaults. She was just go-
 ing to prove that 1t was safe to
 sit there. Then Sarah caught her
 breath and her dark eyes widened.
 Very slowly the thick rope was
 breaking at one side.

European women let their hair grow gray, dress up to it and become distinguished thereby.
 America is so bitten by the youth bug that the majority of wo- hennaed to gray.
 It is a matter of personal taste. But there is something softening about gray or white hair that flat ters features no longer firm in their young contours. And there lis 8 certain dignity that goes with gray or white hair that a woman in her middle years might do well to cultivate and capitalize. Too little has been written about the allure of the poised, contained woman.
 If you are letting your hair grow gray or white, remember it can't be done overnight. It takes almost nine months to get the last vistage of dye out of hair. And it often takes several years for hair to become an even gray or even more for it to become pure white.
 I know of no reputable lotion thta will whiten hair. I know of nothing efficacious except constant, persistent scalp treatment which gets the hair in such a healthy con- dition that it ceases to be unbecom- ingly streaky and takes on new zest and life which more or less makes the color immaterial.
 A healthy head of hair is the best possible crown of glory, and if it is turning gray. where Is that good old American independence that would toss it's head high and say, "What of it?"
 Most beauty houses put out preparations to help care for the head that is graying. But don't think these will turn your hair all an even, beautiful gray overnight. Nothing will! You'll have just to keep it washed clean, brushed bright, oiled gleamingly and mas saged until it is alert looking and healthful.
 In the first place, most graying hair needs far more oil than 1t did before. Therefore. why not give it to it? And oily scalp tonic IS what you need, preferably one that is designated for gray hair. :,
 In the second place, gray hair that lost its curl when you wore it dyed can be made to re-develop curls or waves that will do you proud. I've known several women whose hair was brittle, straight stringy, though colored. who have eventually appeared with enviaple curly cultures that were natural.

YOUR CHILDREN MN;pRobeyyyRaxzu
lOIo3tBY NfA SERVICE. INC. [

The Children's Bureau'sends out a small dodger entitled 'Is Your Child's Birth Recorded ?" that points out to parents seven reasons why this should be done.
 "It Is important" states the pamphlet, .'in order to prove his age and citizenship; to prove his right to go to school; to prove his legal right to an inheritance; to prove his right to marry; to prove his right to hold office; to prove his right to secure passports for foreign travel"
 The birth-registration area com prises 34 states and includes about three-fourths of the population of the United States. That leaves IA states not accounted for in this im- portant matter.
 This does not mean that there is nc registration in those states, but merely that it is not required by law.
 The bureau urges all citizens to help their own particular state board of health to put their state on the list of compulsory registration.
 Avoid Legal Mix-ups
 The provisions of birth regfstra- tion laws are these: That the baby's birth be reported promptly by the physician, the nurse, or anyone in attendance, to the health office or To- cal registrar, who then reports it to the state board of health. If you are not sure that this was done for your baby, write to the state board of health for information as to how this birth may be registered. Unofficially please let me say that our courts are full of legal mix-ups about this very matter, for time was, not so long ago, that nobody both- cred with such things at all. A baby was a baby, and if the time ever came that it was necessary to prove his identity, that he was born where he was, and when he was, some old neighbor or relative could always be dug up to swear to 1t.
 Now things are no longer so slip shod and haphazard. We often roam far in these days from the town and state of our birth. True, good many of us have not needed to prove our right to inherit big estates, or to travel in foreign lands and wrestle with passports, or even to run for public office, but many distracted soul has been sorely put to 1t to prove that he was worthy of his rights as a citizen in very grave mat ters indeed.
 Besides, who knows what the fu- ture may bring? The world chang es. We know not what is ahead. I should see that my baby had his name in great big book somewhere

What the Press Agents Say
CONSTANCE BENNETT A SEN- SATION IN NEW ThLKIE BORN
 TO LOVE" NOW AT STATE

A great star in her greatest picture that's Constance Bennett now starring in Born to Love-" at Warner Brothers State theater. Bombs raining on London street from a Zeppelin overhead-sirens screaming women shrieking - crowds scurrying to cover-a girl dragged to safety, sheltered by the body of man. That is the way Doris Kendall and Capt Barry Craig meet. She is a nurse in a London hospital, he an aviator back in Lon idon on leave. Both are Tanks. "a bit homesick. eager for under standing companionship. What more natural than that they should fall in love? To marry was to separate. Captain Barry Craig and Doris Ken dall wanted to marry. They loved each other desperately. But as the wife of an American officer she would be sent out of the war zone, thousands of miles from him. And she wanted to be near him, as close las she could be. always. It was their last night. The war had thrown them together, given them love. It was to tear them apart in the morn ing perhaps forever. In such sit- uation convention, man-made cus- tom seemed small and unimportant.
 Doris Kendall loved Barry Craig so much that she was willing to defy convention and the creed of her kind for him. Col Sir Wilfred Drake wanted Doris so badly that he was willing to marry her knowing that she was to become the mother of another mans son. Powerful love but there is another still stronger mother love. They all conflict in Born to Love-"
 Armistice day in London. Big Ben striking the fateful hour of eleven. Blaring bands, thrilling whistles. milling crowds, flags, cheers-and a white, faced girl standing alone, gaz- ing at a cross in her hand!
 Things seemed to be strengthening out for Doris Kendall. She had baby she adored. a husband who was good to her. Barry Craig was gone, a hero to be respected, a memory to cherish always. Then came voice from the dead and her pain fully reared house of contentment crashed in ruins. levelled by the fierce flames of a love that had not burned to ashes.
 From here on there is dramatic action aplenty and a climax that will thrill you from head to toes. Bobby Jones is on the same bill in the sec- ond of his new series How I Play Golf" This release is entitled Chip Shots" and it's a honey.

NANCY PAGE Nancy Learns that Uneoncern is a fine Remedy for Defiance
 By Florence La Ganke.
By Florence La canke.

When Peter Page junior was stubborn it was really funny to see the self-control that Peter and Nancy exercise. Peter was sure it was a trait inherited from Nancy's side of the family, and Nancy was sure it was Page failing. Of course, it was nothing but a very human trait. Any of us can be stubborn under the right or the wrong circumstances. But not all of us have learned how to control it in others, not to mention ourselves.
 When Peter kept pulling the chain on the lamp long after he was told to stop Nancy's first impulse was to turn to her husband and say, would you mind taking care of your son." And Peter would look up in annoyed fashion as much as to say to his wife, Cant you make a two-year-old behave? Do you mean to say you are letting a two year-old get the better of you-a grown-up?"

Nancy found that the more she said to her son the sooner he. re- piled in sullen and defiant tones wont, won't" He kept up the re- joinder so long as she kept on re- proving him. After trying that for some time she adopted other tac- tics. When he developed that de- liant mood she went on talking to some one else in the room as if her young son were non-eXistent or she started some other subject of con- versation with him. By paying no attention to his defiance she re- moved all incentive for him to keep on being naughty. He soon learn ed that his wont" fell on unhear- ing ears. And he put his attention elsewhere. Nancy was sure this was better than forcing him to keep still or punishing him for de- fiance.

Ted was watching her closely. Sarah knew that, as she swayed in the air. After all, it wasn't circus tent, just the ballroom of the old house where she lived with other people who tried to make two rooms into home. But for all the comfort that such thoughts brought, Sarah might have been swaying above the sawdust rings with the blare of band in her ears and the tramping of elephants far down. She was going to fall!
 She closed her hands and grasped the ropes tighter.

"LEMON OF ORANGE"
 BRENDEL-DORSA HIT

Fl Brendel and Fifi Dorsay scored a double-barrelled triumph at the Lyric theater last night, where their latest Fox comedy, "Mr Lemon Of Orange" was presented. e.
 Both of these players in the past have contributed much in the way of comedy to productions In which others had the principal roles. In a picture especially built for them. they are immense.
 Brendel essays "dual" role in this production, and proves that he is able to enact a straight" charac- ter part as we'll as his customary Swedish dialect performances. He Is first and foremost the inoffensive "Mr Lemon," toy salesman in a big department store.

Janet GaynOr and Charles Farrell in "The Man Who Came Back" at New Garden.

"The Man Who Came Back" a Raoul Walsh production for Fox Movietone. co-starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, scored tre- mendous success at its opening per- formance yesterday at the New Garden theater.
 This strong romantic drama of regeneration, adapted from the fa- nous Broadway play, offers Miss Gaynor and Farrell the best roles they ever have had in pictures. That they rise to their opportuni- ties was amply proven by the en- thusiasm with which the premiere audience welcomed their efforts.
 The direction by Walsh is flaw less. He proves by his inspired work that he still is the master director of Hollywood.
 The supporting cast, including Kenneth MacKenna, William Hol- den. Mary Forbes, Ulrich Haupt. William Worthington and Peter Hawthorne, give ideal characteri- zations.

 II believe I can sleep now," she announced as Matilda took away the tray. A delicious sense of lan- guor crept over the girl. She smiled as the older woman rear ranged the pillows. Matilda touched a switch which turned the light lower. Gypsy's eyes were closed as the servant tip-toed from the room. Within 10 minutes Gypsy was sound asleep.
 It was late next morning when she awoke. She started to sit up and aching shoulder muscles quickly reminded her of yesterdays adventures. It was 20 minutes of 10. Jim must have gone long ago. She lay still until presently Ma tilda knocked on the door.
 Good morning, ma'am. I hope you slept well?"

 With Matilda's assistance Gypsy She bathed, brushed her hair and changed the gown for a soft negli- gee. Then she lay back on the chajse tongue, backed by pillows and cushions, and breakfasted.
 Dr Hollingsworth came early in the afternoon and reported that his patient showed improvement. There were ugly purplish bruises on Gypsy's shoulders and on her hip. Tho cut on her forearm was ban daged with tape. It would be 10 days, the doctor said, at the ear Hest, before Gypsy could put any weight on her foot. She must stay in her roonl,. ,-eat nourishing food and let nature do the healing.
 Jlm telephoned a little later and Matilda gave him this report. He left word that he would be home early.
 Every afternoon for the rest of that week Jim Wallace arrived home at 4:30. Gypsy looked forward to that hour all through the days that passed so slowly. She had never been i'll. She had never spent so much time helplessly.
 Nothing about Gibson's car being wrecked appeared in the Forest City newspapers. The third after noon Gibson telephoned and Ma tilda informed him that Mrs Wal lace was not receiving guests. Later a note arrived. Gypsy gave it to Jim to answer. She had cautioned Jim. not to tell anyone she was i'll. There would be sure to be unpleas- ant complications.
 For seven days she remained practically prisoner. She read, sewed-and watched the clock for 4:30 to arrive.
 Gypsy was sitting before the win- dow Thursday evening when she saw the green roadster turn into the drive. Five minutes later when Jim entered the room she looked up smiling.
