Jean Harlow has the love interest, with John Mack Brown and Clark Gable playing the two newspaper report CTS. e Witt Jennings plays a bull- dog of the law in the role of fnspec- tor Donlan.
 Hundreds appear in the big funer- al scene, the sensational trial, the battle of the vigilantes and the gang horde, and other high spots in the amazing drama. The climax is a gripping episode in Condemned row where the law finally triumphs over the jackals of the pavements.

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

Swimming pools in any well
regulated community are safe,
but the dangers of swimming
pools are very real and regula-
tions to keep them safe should
be rigidly carried out.
The greatest source Of danger
in a swimming pool is from
other bathers. They contami-
nate the water more than it is
contaminated at the source.
Each bather in a pool should
be inspected before getting in,
and those with skin diseases or
infections should be excluded.
The frequent occurrence OF
head colds and ear infections
in children who use public and
semi-public pools, can be traced
to pool contamination.
Sewage Is Blamed
Water used for pools around
cities is usually contaminated
both by sewage and the refuse
of industrial plants. The latter
is seldom a source of danger.
but may be so in the case OF
certain industries. Both these
sources Of contamination, how.
ever, are eliminated In most
cities with modern water works
plants.
The water is first drawn in
large reservoirs and allowed to
settle while exposed to sun.
light. Sunlight is the greatest
germ destroyer we have for
clear water in large quantities.
Sedimentatiop clears the reser-
voir water. Fhe water is next
run through city filters which
removes 95 per cent of germs
of all kinds.
Should Be Sterilized
Changing the water in a pool
is not sufficient to keep it safe.
It should also be sterilized
chemically. the best substance
for this being chlorine gas, one
part to a million. This is the
best method that has been de-
viSed.
Water properly treated Is not
dangerous or irritating to any
part Of the body. Some people
believe they should use goggles
when diving or swimming under
water. but no harm is done by
keeping the eyes open Under
water for a moderate time.
Chlorinated water does not
harm the eyes, the nose or the
mucous membranes Of the
mouth.

me that twice a week is enough

but would you advise me to
give him up? BUBBLES.

never went out with another

he was coming over, when in
he pops and asked me what
car was parked outside by
my home. told him that the
car didn't belong there and
perhaps some neighbor had
parked it alongside my home.
He told me lied. and that he
was through and never cared
to see me again. That's the
way it is always. I love him
dearly and can't give him up,
but also can't stand jealousy
and doubt. STELLA.

In the merry spring months,
when housekeeping goes on

missus will have her druggist
combine for her one dram Of
