WILL ROGERS AND
 EFT DOKSAY IN "YOUNG As YOU FEEL" NOW PLAY ING AT FOX-pOLl PALACE

In "Young As You Feel" his Rogers discards the personal habits of a lifetime and appears for the first time on stage or screen as a wei! gro0med. Bond street tailored gentleman.
 Rogers has not gone Hollywood Ills striking wardrobe is n definite part of the very human character iZation Rogers portrays as 'Lemuel Morehouse," dyspetic. grouchy old fogey who is compelled to turn ul- tra modern nB an example Tor hlf two sons.
 "Young As You Feel" which !r the screen version of George Ade's hilarious play. "Father And The Boys' and which is now playing at Fox-PoIi Palace. ddals with the widowed father of two modern sons, n man who has devoted his life to their interest and who wishes them to settle down 10 business and become happy, contented hus- bands.
 The boys. however. have other ideas. One goes in heavily for sO- | ciety, while the other makes of sport n mania. Then Rogers re- sorts to desperate measures. A revolution takes place in his char acter. brought about by n chance meeting with n professional en- tertainer. portrayed by Fih Dorsay with whom Rogers made sO much hilarity in They Had TO See Paris"
 From a staid. opinionated, dys- peptic, set-in-his ways old fOgey Rogers changes overnight Into q gay blade. His neglect of business fs appalling to his general manager played by Lucien httlefield, and T decided shock to his sons; bui Rogers and Fin ignore all prOtestI and continue their wild roundt of night clubs and race tracks.

YoUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton ao!9s! eY NEH SERVICE INC:

Do you know tat people never develop a real sense of responsible ity until they learn the meaning of word must" And they never learn that until they know what obedi- ence means.
 l get so weary of those parents who are 50 strong in developing self-reliance that they have cut the word "obey" out of their children't dictionary. They do not know that they are laying up nice reserve Of trouble for their offspring in the future by refusing to demand obedience now, for every adult In every country that bounds the seven seas must obey n thousand things every hour in the day.
 l think the best example of this fig Madame Nature herself. Break any of her laws and there if trouble. We dare not eat certain things or we would die; we dare not overstep any laws of gravity or we die; we dare not try to live out of the element in which we were put. We die in water. under ground or above the air. an i'm mutable law that we unconscious ly obey. We are learning to trick nature, of course, but that docs moi mean that for tho mass of people so far, fe must not Abide by hel decisions---We do as she says oi we are lost.
 Laws Are Many
 Following natural comes socla social law. Millions of people fol hundreds of centuries have fount 1t impossible to live without socia law, the law that protects the homo and the individual. Under thii comes property rights and al sorts of things. Every human belnt must obey social laws of some kind or another, depending on his rac' and nationality. Each man canno make his own laws to suit himseif
 It is a world of law. 1t must be even though we have no sucf things as the constitution and tho commandments.
 Children will find themselves re- sentful of all law, natural, social moral and political, If they are all lowed to grow up ungoVerned Al home. I heard one father say re- gently that he intended to put tho fear of God into his son. Amen that" replied, "only why not snS respect for God instead" 1t sounds better. We don't teach chil' dren to fear anyone, not even Goa
 But knowing the father, l un- derstand what he meant. Please deliver me from the parent who calls n child five times before Inc comes, who means 'ycs' when Inc says "no," and allows n child tf do as he pleases, thingink this VII make a man of him.
 ScOlding May Be Overdone
 I have equally no use for tho chronic scolder, the nagger, tho eternal boss or the perennial criti. cizer--that parent who has no req knowledge of home government and covers 1t up by his own irritat' ing methods. That is almost parallel with the soft-soap course of giving T. child his head under the guise of developing reliance and independence.
 Children must obey. There should not be too many rules 1T the home constitution. The rulei there arc should be fundamenth and the child should be taught tt respect them with a deep sense oi justice and without resentment But obey he should if he is evei tot learn the real. meaning re- sDOnsibility.

Sue didn't know why she thought of them as mad. Perhaps because they were so tempestuous. so mys- terious. They were like pools that could be calm and. cool, and then again be stirred to strange depths. Eyes that could not always be trusted.
 Under their spell Sue felt inex- perienced. Young. Like q peasant
 maid first meeting a French court
 beauty and realizing how many things she didn's know about life
 and love and all the rest. "I don't like her" Sue registered
 the thought quickly.
 However, she did like her hus-
 band. Alan Andrews. He had a frank, easy charm and warmth of
 manner that put Sue at ease at
 once. She liked his older brother, too. Ther was something chival-
 rous, attentive, maybe q little too

Not only did she have the girls watch ono another but she also gave them demonstrations herself. She tried to get the girls to stress the easy. natural line. They kept shoulders, knees. arms, abdomen in coordination, giving n forward spring to the body. She empha- sized the need for suppleness. The pouter pigeon was too rigid to be supple and the slouchy person put all her supplcness into one spot and there 1t became nothing but n sag. She advised the girls to study posture before their mirrors when they reached home. "Look aL yourselves, sideways" was her ad- vice and most of you will decide 1t is time to do something to your body to give 1t a fluid grace.

Ousting Negro Soldiers

The recent order of the War De-
partment affecting seventeen Negro
units of the army and marked mot
for press release" is the beginning of
the end of the Negroes activity IN
the United States Army. The ku
Klux Khan is dominating the War De.
partment and carrying out its pro-
gram of elimination of the Negro
from all government departments.
Neither the War Department nor
President Hoover would admit that
such orders as issued would prevent
the advancement of colored men IN
the army or the gradual elimination
of colored men out of the army. If
the orders are carried out, and they
generally are, it will stop the enlist
ment of Negroes. as well as prevent
the promotion of Negro soldiers al
ready in the combat troops.
1t also will mean the taking away
of arms from the men in the famous
Gath and 25th Infantries. as well as
the dismounting of the 9th and 10th
Cavalries.
This spirit of race prejudice has
completely dominated this great gov
eminent of ours and President Hoo
yer is permitting it to flourish as the
green bay tree. He apparently fos-
tiers It. Not one single act of his has
been against this khan spirit. Not
one order has been issued to thwart
IT.
The humiliation piled upon our
Gold Star Mothers by the War De-
partment with the Presidents okeh
seemed bad a-plenty. But now he
strikes the most loyal units of the
American Army and thereby hits the
race another blow.
Al present there are only four
commissioned officers in the whole
United States Army--Colonel Ben

fCaptain) A. W. Thomas and Chap

chaplains and the other detached. re-
Gently ASSIGNED to escort the colored
Gold Star Mothers on their Jim crow
cattle ship trip to France.
The official treatment of the Ne
gro citizens of this country by their
own government is enough to make
them susceptible to the red propagan.
da so much dreaded by the govern
nent. Has it dawned upon the gov
eminent officials that they are driv-
ing the Negroes of this country from
their loyalty and making the ground
very fertile for red or any othei
propaganda that promises relief from
depressing. hnmiliating and eliminat
ing orders issued by the United
States government itself?
