 STARTS SUNDAY AT PALACE
 WITH MAURICE CUEVALIEIt

The Fox-Poli Palace thcater an nounces q Better Show Season, to start officially next Sunday and to continue at an even and steady pace throughout the fall, winter and spring, and continue even then into the new crop of stars and pic lures that will be ready for har- vest at that time. That Better Show Season" is not to be con- strued as a mere pretty combin- ation of words is evidenced by the list of unusual pictures scheduled for showing at the Fox-Poli Pal ace theater and the reasons given for g. Better Show Season" at this time.
 "The opening gun of Fox Better Show Season" will be Maurice Chevalier in his sensational suc- cess "The Smiling Lieutenant" di- rect from twenty-six consecutive weeks at the Criterion theater, New York city at $2 admission. The Fox Poli Palace will offer 1t at no advance in prices. This is what Irene Thirer on the New York Daily News says about Mau- rice Chevalier in "The Smiling Lieutenant"
 "The Smiling Lieutenant" Is a picture you won't want to miss, combining as 1t does the sophis- tication of Lubitsch with the charm of Chevalicr. and adding for good measure the brllliancc and beauty of two radiant actress es. Pour in the lingering music of Oscar Straus. set to the tingling lyrics of Clifford Grey. Envclop all this in a scenario by Ernest Vajda and Samson Raphaelson-- you've got film which keeps It's audience content for over an hour. When we say content, we mean happy and eager for more. up to the very last shot.

A new Doris Kenyon, more beautiful, more gra- cious, and every inch an artist. | 'The Bargain" Is Il picture or rather a story that Is distinctly q woman's story although Warner Brothers have produced 1t with their customary flair for intcrspers- ing scenes and dialogue to please both sexes and the results mgiht justly be termed "woman's pic ture that men will enjoy" The supporting cast includes Charles Butterworth, new screen find, Una Merkel. Evalyn Knapp and John Darrow.

NANCY PAGE Poison Ivy Wrecks
 Many a Vacation
By Florcncc Ia Gankc

The girls at camp had beer warned to avoid poison ivy, but like most human beings they had neglected the warning The camp director had told then thet 1t was easy to tell poison ivy apart from ordinary ivy since poison ivy leaves occur in groups of three and not five on the steam.
 Poison ivy, like other poisonous plants, is most irritating when the leaves are damp. so early morning. hours or those immediately after a rain are dangerous for the per- sons susceptible to the poison. It Is believed that an oil in the plant causes the irritation which may range all the way from a slight redness of the skin and some itching to deep red swellings. blis- ter formations and even fever.
 Of course the best cure is pre- vention, but when that is a thing of the past then cure or alleviation L..

The other day I asked q young father how he was spending his vacation and he replied: I'm at home getting acquainted with my children"
 suppose some people may take this with a grain of salt, as we say, and make such mental reser- vations as, "Oh, he doesn't belong to a golf club" or "He hasn't the price of trip" or "I'll bet his wife keeps him around to do all the odd jobs that have been walt ing since his last vacation" Everyone is wrong. This man does belong to golf club. he can afford trip, and he has not a nagging wife.
 l asked this paragon of fathers what he was doing to get ac- quainted with his offspring. He replied, "Oh, you know me. I'm not very systematic and I never map out anything ahead of time. We do what we like-sometimes all four of us when Jane can go along (his wife), but mostly. just Ted and Jo and I. Cred is the boy and Jo the girl.)
 Recreation Is Varied

We go to the zoo and we took a long postponed trip on river boat and q never told Jane this), we had a minute airplane trip and we have gone through two big mills.

 Well - "he scratched his head lone day we filled up the car with 'chums' you know, sums and went rock hunting. Of all things rock hunting, some geology class or other, and say, l got more eXer- else and more knowledge than I've had for dozen and a half years. Kids are terrifically smart these days"
 My notebook was still busy.
 "Oh, don't write 1t down. he begged. There's nothing to it. I just though I'd better spend n little time with my own kith and kin and learn to call them by their first names. I don't sec lot of them, you know. And really I'm surprised they're 8 lot different from what I thought. I guess now I'm what you call 'chum'."

He would give the scene the air of party. His histrionic sense rejoiced in the scheme. The stage was set when, few minutes after four. the door bell rang softly. Van disposed himself In q big chair, trusting he wore an invalid's pallor. He could hear Atc D SAbiloht 6icStAhS tp tbV Ni5i- tor and in an instant she ap- peared between the curtains. He sDrang up, forgetting his role, to greet her.

 He looked away. "The date was put over. I managed that"
 Instantly she was all concern What does the doctor think?"
 He did not dare to look at her, lest he smile at this. "Oh. I'll be all right in day or two. Only. you know, these spring colds are treacherous things"

 He made her sit in the chair behind the urn. He took her fur, her gloves.
 Tt seems wonderful to have you here. So natural
 She flushed. She turned aside In panic. Was she wrong to have come? Where were the others of whom he had spoken? She looked at the dozen cups. the heaps or cakes and was reassured.
 Robard came and sat beside her, looking deep into her eyes. "Dyou know I've never stopped loving your"
 She sprang up. affronted. You mustn't begin that all over again."
 "Why not?" His tone had the old caressing note In it.
 'I don't like It." She put a quiet dignity into the words She tried with all her heart to mean them.

Thomas Andrews was watching Sue closely. There was a very per. sonal interest back of his very i'm personal mask
 Who is Jack?" he asked, lightly enough.
 Jack is my brother" Sue ex. plained. and hated herself for the subterfuge. "I mean. in a certain sense he is.'
 q see." The man nodded. And Is Dr Barnes ready to wait for this Jack to come and give his ap. proval?"
 More than ready. You see, he is just getting started professionally so he really can't afford to be mar ried for afhile. Patients are not any to numerous. We have anly had few, but we'll have more"
 "We?" he repeated.
 "I help him in the office," Sue explained.
 "Oh, yes? have tooth that has been annoying me. I'll have to make trip to the dentist, I see"
 The conversation shifted. It was through other channels. But now Sue had a swift intuition that the man was watching her, appraising her. wondering if she was worth his time or not. But he was rather charming.
 Have you been In the city long ?' he asked.
 "It seems just like few days. It really is few weeks" she ans wered. About two of them, guess"
 The conversation wandered all around the fountain and the gar den and down another path.
 And suddenly Sue heard herself, In answer to another question, ex- blaming that she hadn't known Dr Barnes until she came to town.
 Then it was q brief, sweet TO- mancc?" the mans well-modulated, voice asked. But 1t seemed satisfied Quite as though he had found what he wanted to know.
 Sue sensed what 1t was. But sure ly this man of the world couldn't be taking a passing interest in her, she told herself. Not with a glam- orous creature like Lois Andrews, around. It was a foolish idea. But 1t persisted.
 The others were in the long, low living room. Scattered yellow lamps shed softened light, and shadows danced across the floors and gath cred where the beams made. the ceiling. A few dancing to the radio. A few were trying to start bridge game but couldn't fnl willing fourth. The rest idled here and there.
 Sue was glad to see Dr Barnes free, He looked like a welcome ha- ven. He knew the game she played, and she needn't pretend.
 Pm afraid that 1 almost upset the plans," she said. "Mr Andrews found out that I'd only been in town little while and didn't know you until 1 came. It makes us LOOK like at q lOve-at- first sight case doesn't 1t? l thought l ought to warn you
 Thanks for the tip. Don't worry, though, Lois Is q curious creature and she would have found out anyway .tt

SENTENCE TO SUNDAY
 SCHOOL AIDS YOUTHS

Houston.--If some judges. in passing on youthful criminals would use the wisdom of Judge Fred Turner. there would be fewer second offenders.
 Four youths recently faced him on charge of stealing gasoline from an automobile. Two of the boys were 16 and the others 17. The gasoline they stole came from the car of A. II. Henderson, a Sunday school teacher.
 On the plea of the mother of one of the youths, the judge dismissed the case after exacting a promise from the mothers of the boys to see that they attended the Sunday school of Henderson every week. The boys accepted the sentence"

CHAPTER XXxIX

Van Robard stamped about the apartment. frOwning. His man came to the door with ladden tray.
 "F'ut it down. Ito, and don't stand there grinning! I have a beast of a headache. Shake me up a promo, like a good boy"
 The oriental vanished. When he brought the fizzing tumbler Robard drank it gratefully. He pushed the toast away and closed his eyes. None of that Take 1t away, will you? Leave the cof- fee. That's all"
 He drained the cup and poured another. That made him feel bet ter. He even smiled a little wry- ly. Good party last night but his head was paying for it,
 Robard reached for the pad on tho table by the telephone. hitch ing his plum-colored dressing gown closer about his waist WGod called? An, that fool of a debutante he had met last week. Wanted him to call back. Fat chance! He sat, drumming on the table. A cigaret made him feel better. He inhaled grate- fu}ly.
 Funny Liane hadn't called. That note he'd written had been cal culated to bring her. It had been a, hell of g. dumb thing to do but he'd taken the chance.
 I'm i'll and l want to see you before I go. Won't you just tele- phone me?"t rr ff
 Yes, he had trusted to her ten der heart Evidently he'd been wrong. You never knew women even when you thought you'd got them all figured out.
 As he threw his eigaret into the fireplace the bell tingled. Robard reached for it. Even that movement jared his head and he frowned darkly. His "hcllo" was little less than surly, but the tone changed instantly.
 "Yes, it's l. A wretched cold" He coughed. Doctors forbidden me to go out and 1 wondered if you wouldn't stop in about four. I'm having some people for tea"
 There was a pause during which he coughcd again.
 q know I've a nerve to ask you but itll be my only chance to say goodby. I've been ordered to stay indoors till Saturday. See you then? An. fine. Voir."
 There was smile of triumph on his face as he put down the telephone. He shaved and pres- ently could be heard singing in his bath. The oriental cleared away the debris of the breakfast

It is believed that by promptly washing the skin which has been exposed, much of the irritation may be avoided. Wash vigorously with water and soap using a rather stiff hand brush. Then rub the af-, fected skin with alcohol. This may be done even after the irritation has been noticed if the skin is not too infamed and the process is not too painful. .
 When this occurs even sponging with alcohol has to be avoided. Sponging with cool water or witch hazel water followed by an appli-. cation Of a mild dusting powder is comforting.
 The camp director never used salves. And if case seemed ex- cedingly painful she called in doctor at once. The washing of skin with soap and water and sponging with all coho1 proves helpful in cases of primrose poisoning as well as of poison ivy.
