JACKIE COOGAN IN TOM SAW YER: CONRAD NAGEL IN FREE LOVE AT NEW GARDEN.

Hundreds of children, and hum dreds more who used to be chill dren, thrilled to the oft-told but deathless adventures of Tom and Huck, Becky and Aunt Polly, h. jun Joe, Joe and Muff Potter at the New Garden theater yesterday when From Sawyer" Mark Twain's clas- sic of childhood, opened there for two days stay.
 From Sawyer" is the kind of ma teria1 that the talking screen was made for. And in the hands of such capable young players as Jackie Coo gan, Mitzi Green and Junior Durkin, it is well-nigh the greatest story ever told in audible celluloid.
 The only picture that ever ap- preached it for sheer magnificence of direction, production and acting is "Peter Pan"-but Peter Pan" was q silent picture.
 Whether caveman tactics are an aid to martial happiness Is the prin- ciple held up for the public's opinion in Free Love" which is the companion feature.
 In the case of modern wife shown on the screen in this instance, interpreted by Genevieve Tobin, there can be little doubt but that she earned the knockout blow meted out to her by Conrad Nagel, a patient, "hen-pecked"' hubby.

 My dear Mrs Page:
 May I express to you my apprs- citation of you as a hostess. You re- membered that I was a human be- ing. So frequently a hostess or club is interested only in hearing the talk. They are not concerned with the talker. They forget that he may be tired after his trip, that he may have had to take train which played havoc with ordinary meal hours. They forget that he may want to fTeshen up bit after reach ing his distination. And when the talk is over they usually do one of two thinigs overwhelm him with attention or neglect him entirely. T have been places where they never bothered to see that I WIS taken to the train, never even made arrangements for my transportation back to the station. And then have been places where the hostess insisted on staying with me unOl the train arrived. If I say to a hostess, Don't bother to wait with me. I have a book and am quite able to amuse myself I mean ir, am tired after talking and would welcome the chance to relax once knew I was at the station on time. don't wan. to exert myself to make a large amount of small talk. Put only a discerning hostess like yourself senses that

I have a "health book" al. ways said I would not possess ont because 1t would be sure to tell me to do all the things 1 hated and tc do none of the things I loved. But a kind friend wished one on me and summoning up my courage I peek Ied.''
 Sure enough! I must be regular in my habits, I must walk an awful lot. must eat this if want to live. but by all means if I SC much as taste that I'll be appalled, at the amount of ghastly debris that will accumulate in my blood stream.

 But yes. as the French say, it did too. A period. For tucked away in the phrases it slyly said something like this about the gas- tric juice. It seems that this di- gestive fluid in the stomach doesn't turn on at the tap when food Is dropped in. used to think it did In fact on my physiology paper in my examinations for high school, remember that I got 90 instead of 100 because I missed this one! 'To what is the amount of gastric juice proportioned ?"
 It was a catch question and not stated in the text book we used replied in cramped hand that it was proportioned to the amount of flood taken into the stomach. And got an K" on it. It bothered me for years that I should be marked wrong, for I was sure I was right I've spent my life asking questions about gastric juice. We'll, the health book says this: "The amount of gastric juice produced corresponds largely to the amount of saliva that flows into the mouth" It expands and says much more but the matter boiled Idown is-that if we eat things we like the stomach pumps a more generous supply of gastric juice out of its little cells to digest the same food.
 Now 1t does not mean that we can go on eating Welsh rarebits and hot pork pie with impunity- not at all. It means that the things we should eat must also be made to taste right. Food must be pal atable to produce saliva and diges- tive juices. Otherwise those juices will turn contrary and stingy.
 How important 1t is to remem- Der all this in feeding our chil- jdren!
 Spinach and eggs and the ordi- narily unattractive list we usually wish on the poor little souls should be fixed up so they will Ireally like to eat them.
 If we want the organs to dc Itheir work we shall have to use our wits and resources and make the food so good that the children will all turn into little Twists and be asking for more.

Corrinne realized that as yet Ma. belle Smith did not know who she was. That she had never associated her with Corrinne Merryman who had married Harry Becker. It was time that Mabelline knew she decided.
 And she saw an opportunity for g dramatic gesture.
 Corrinne reached up, removed her black felt hat. and then took of the too-yellow wig and the ridicu. lous golden eye-lashes. "Oh great Moses!" Mabelline stared, eyes wide and startled. And I thought you belonged to a gang one of the great sisterhood of good girls trying to get alang! And you're his wife! Well, I hand 1t to you. You're slick actress. A darned slick one. But you would have to be to land that Becker heir.'
 Corrinne didn't finch. She merely replaced the black felt hat. Then she pushed the wig into a pocket of her coat.
 What are you going to do about it. now that you know all?" Mabel line asked. Make me give up the jewels, l suppose? Hard denance gave way to fear as she spoke.
 "They happen to belong to Mrs Becker's sister. Miss Merryman,' won't have to suffer on account of 1t. What was it you wanted from Clifford?"
 The girls eyes grew crafty. Mon ey, of course. What did you think A package of oatmeal and some graham crackers"
 "How much?"
 The amount that she named didn't seem large to Corrinne after the huge sums that she herself had been spending for dresses and furs. "If you will come to my attorneys with us I think we can arrange that" Harry said again, his tones cool, calm, unmoved.
 Corrinne wanted to take her hands and tear away this unruffled surface that hid his face like a mask. She wanted to find what was going on under it. It didn't seem fair that she should be so chilled and hard inside, so trembling and choking in turn. while Harry stayed so i'm perturbable.
 There were apologies from the bank officials, a mumbled excuse from the policeman who had put the handcuffs of Corrinne's arms. Cor rinne hesitated as the group went down the bank corridor. She felt like an intruder now that her part was played. Then she remembered that Madeline thought that she had been associated with Harry in an attempt at spying. Suddenly. without examining her impulse, she turned to

Everybody grants that you need an average of at least eight hours sleep to be yourself, contained, cheerful, buoyant.
 But I am of the opinion that while the number of hours of sleep Is vastly important, the kind of sleep you get is equally SO.
 Springs that sag, mattresses that lump or curl, a room that isn't well ventilated and just can't be, bed clothes that are too heavy and not warm, a mattress that is thin and keeps you cold no matter how much cover you pile on-these things would make 12 hours sleep not enough. In fact, they subtly. uncon- sciously make you think up excuses to read little more, sew bit, talk, put off going to bed and getting your sleep.
 The child that can get into the habit of sleeping on an even, un- sagging bed, with a medium or even fairly hard mattress, and no pill low should form perfect sleep habits for life. But take the folks who are over 35 to-day, those who belong back in the age when beds lasted from generation to generation and even sleeping on feather beds was common occurrence, and 1t is these who are most often bothered by in- somnia.
 Spring should be a time for clear ing up everything that stands be- tween you and beauty. Surely lack of sleep does! That early morning exultation that comes to lucky folks upon awakening should be your aim. too. Why not shake down a few sav- ings and make sure you have per- feet repose? Often the purchase of new spring is all that is neces- sary to straighten you out nights and at the same time straighten your psychology.
 If you happen to have a good bed, and it doesn't roll or sag. but gives you perfect rest, then spring time is the logical time to go into certain beauty aids such as colored sheets. pretty bedspreads, an ensemble of soft, fluffy blankets, down puff and spread. The psychology of pretty bed is second in importance only to the actual practical comfort of one.
 These things may seem things apart from beauty. But since good health is the foundation of real, glow, vital beauty. sleep cannot be brushed aside. It's importance should be recognized.
