.SARGASSO SEA
 !. DRAMA C 0M ES TO COLISEUM
Isle of Lost Ships Sunday Will Follow Tiger
 Rose Tonight

With the Tiger Rose" showing tonight only at the Coliseum, The Isle of Lost Ships" will be fea- tured Sunday at the popular play house.
 | Filming a, marine hinterland Of Iseaweed; dead, floating ships; sub marine scenes above and below the surface; shipwreck of a big liner, land drama on the mysterious Sar- gasso Sea-that's the real problem for the film sound experts.
 In fact, it is the greatest to date, according to Irving Willat, who filmed the "Isle of Lost Ships"
 Army of Tcchnicians
 That you might hear as well as see this big special produced by First. National Pictures, Willat and veritable army of technicians worked for months on sea and land, on sound problems alone. The scenic background presented a tremendous technical problem in itself, but was insignificant in comparison to the complexities or sound.
 Imagine a crowded liner plough ing through a rough sea; the collision with derelict; crashes and screams and orders shouted through megaphones; the mad rush of passengers on the decks
 Huge Liner Deserted
 Imagine the sounds, as well as sighs, on huge, crippled, drifting liner, deserted by all but three persons.
 Then the problem of sound in an island of dead ships, the Sargasso Seas central eddy where dere- licts of many centuries collected and were made into floating is land and ships graveyard by the men-and a few women-Who had floated in on them Finally, escape during a gun battle on this unique island via a submarine!
 A powerful ail-star cast sup ported by many colorful character people appears in The Isle of Lost Ships Virginia Valli and Jason Robards are the lovers; Rob- ert OConnor, stage star, has a colorful role as a detective who is returning the hero to prison and "the chair" and Noah Beery is the villain.
 The Isle of Lost Ships" is based on Crittenden Marriott's novel. Its locale has been used in no other film and in very few works of fic- Ition.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
The Joy Time.

There Is a time in the life Of each
child when there IS joy In learning
some special thing. Each step In growth
has its time allotted If We catch that
time by its forelock and do the teach
ing the child knows the JOY OF learning.
He overflows with happiness at his sue
cess. He is tireless In his efforts. Let
the Joy season go by and learning Tor
that special department OF knowledge
becomes a pain. I cannot believe that
painful learning is ever as high IN quail
ity or as great in depth as the knowi-
edge gained In the Joy time,
Little children learn to read with JOY
in the early school years, along about
the time when they are five and six. 1t
is easy to get them to read then. They
love to find new words, make new
sounds. hear and tell new stories, ADD
to their vocabulary and their library.
But let those years pass without the
instruction and learning to read Is slow,
uphill work. The Joy has departed
and only the drudgery remains.
In the middle grades of the element
arv school the children like to learn
rules. tables, lists Of dates, all the rhyth-
nical facts of the course OF study. They
like prin order in the class room. They
like the teacher to mark their work
right or wrong. They count marks and
work for place on the honor rolls. This
Is the Joy time for routine knowledge.
The time to lay the foundation for all
sorts Of study. The elements OF learning
are easily mastered In these grades and
the children are happy doing this sort
of work. But let them 60 into the upper
grades without knowing their rules,
lists and facts, and at once they lose all
interest in school and drop behind. The
Joy time has passed and new JOY time
is on. They cannot enter into 1t be-
cause they have not the key knowledge
required.
Foreign languages are learned best in
the early years. The best way to learn
a language Is to use 1t and little chill
dren, In the early years, enjoy Language.
Talk the languages you want the chill
dren to know and let them learn In tne
10y time. The Joy time for grammar
comes in the early high school years
The Joy time for language Is In the hrst
i've or six or seven years.
When YOU find that child has DIM
Guilty in learning subject look first to

q new method Of attack will bridge the
dificulty.
Not that am saying that children
always like TO study their lessons

monotony- enough and hasten to put q

On the one hand the race has been

Household Methods

I'VE have just finished cleaning

cement floor, which, IS gray and dirty

cement is in good condition, but rough

pensive thing to do. Please tell me

This is a fine time to do It, as the

to use, but 1 advise you to buy some
inexpensive white paint for q founda-

coat dry thoroughly, and then apply q

red or moss green will look cheerful and
be just as practical as slate gray or dull
brown. A cellar floor painted In this
way may be swept regularly and occa-
sionally swept and mopped, so that you
will never have to go to the expense Of
having 1t scrubbed, as you did when
you cleaned house this Spring.
At no very great expense you can
have your coal bins boarded up more
securely than they are, so that the coal
dust will not get about so much, or 1t

Books are decorative elements in
rooms. In order for them TO lend
themselves most generously to this fea-
ture, they must be suitably positioned
A clutter Of books on q table may give
q literary atmosphere, and tempt who
ever enters the room to browse among
the volumes for favorite writer's and
stories. It does not aid in the general
attractiveness Of the place. Moreover
books cannot be given the care they
deserve when they are left about.
The home for book Is q bookcase. A
well-stocked bookcase whatever its kind
makes a pleasing background. The
varied colors Of bindings blend into
mellow tapestry effect, while the books
themselves are like friends welcoming
you. 1t is this latter aspect that make
books add coziness to decoration.
The bookcase with glass doors has
been gaining favor for the past few
years Today 1t holds its own with
the open shelves which once supplanted
this style. The great point in favor Of
inclosed shelves Is that the books are
better preserved without detracting IN
any way from their decorative feature.

minutes the boldest Prairie-dogs were

naturally thought that that was the

for another. With her in plain sight.
they were too excited to do any real
thinking. Mrs. Speedfoot waited until
she saw four half-grown youngsters
come from the house behind which
Speedfoot was hiding. She grinned and
then turned as If to trot away. It
seemed as If every Prairie-dog in that
town was out watching her and bark
ing at her
Once more she looked back. She
saw Speedfoot spring from behind that
house. In an instant the whole town
was once more a scene Of confusion,
with shrill whistles of alarm in all di-
rections. Most Of those Prairie dogs
didn't know what 1t was all about. but
they did know that somehow there
was great danger, and, without stopping
to see just where IL was, they Scram-
bled for the nearest doorways. Only
those who were near Speedfoot knew
what the trouble was, and they didn't
wait to see what was happening.
Mrs. Speedfoot trotted back into

Reddish Blonde.

Dear Miss Leeds: have light blonde
hair which wash once q week with
CASTLE soap, using camomile tea rinse
afterward. have noticed that my hair
Is getting reddish around my forehead
How can hide this reddish streak?
DAILY READER.
Answer think II you part your hair
anywhere and look carefully at the
roots that you will find the same red
dish tinge which Is so noticeable in
front. 1t is likely that the blonde rinse
that you have been using has kept the
bulk of your hair light, but has not had
an equal chance to bleach the new hair
near the roots. Possibly the natural
shade Of your hair is a dark blonde; the
new growth that has not often been
bleached has turned reddish, while the
rest, which has been rinsed frequently
has become much lighter in color. Or
you may be q red-blonde by nature
The red streak may be bleached to
match the ends of hair, or you may let
your hair grow out It's natural color.
II you decide on bleaching, have an ex-
perienced operator do the work with
