WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
JOHN GILBERT, LOUIS WOLHEIM AND GREAT CAST IN sGEN- TLEMANsS FATE" CLOSING TONIGHT AT STATE.

IO-NAGHI AT STATE.
 Remember that adage about a man biting . dog? We'll "Gentleman.s Fate" which closes q three-day en- gagement at Warner Brothers State theater tonight, is news, judging by Dana's dfctum. For 1t is a gangster picture without a solitary thing to do with Chicago. Incidentally this pie ture includes in its cast the late Louis Wolheim.
 The locale of this exciting story from the facile pen of Ursula Par rott fs Jersey City, just by way of Identification, but the happenings may have taken place in any city in the United States to-day.
 It is by far the best of the so- called gangster films yet to reach the screen and concerns itself mainly man. reared in luxury. who finds himself q member of a rum-running ant gang-feuding family.
 In no other picture that we can recall has Gilbert had a story worthy of his great talent for dramatic por- trayal based upon suffering and sac- rifice and not mere emotionalism in- duced by romanticism. To be sure, there Is romance afoot in this new Metro o-Goldwyn-Mayer c starring ye- hicle and Gilbert makes the most of 1t. It Is the character delineati0n, however, that offers him the greatest opportunity.
 The romance is complicated by Leila Hyams and Anita Page, one a society girl. the other an underworld wedding. He loves one but marries another.

 It wasn't until 1920, however, that it was discovered what there was in the bark that gave it it's remedial properties. Two French pharmacists, Pelleticr and Caven- tou, isolated quinine from the bark an cpoch~making discovery of far~reaching benefit to mankind.

On Friday night last the seat

 acity long before the announced
 hour for the illustrated lecture on
 Alaska, that was so pleasingly
 given by R. H. Sargent, of the U. s. Geological Survey He is fam liar with all sections of Alaska and had accumulated hundreds of pictures representing scenic and industrial views of the Ter ritory, during his p summers in the North. Many of these were presented in colors and told about in reminiscent style that held the rapt attention of the large interested audience, that includ- ed many government officials and employees who contemplate a tour to the North this summer.
 Wonderment was expressed last, Wednesday by several Alaskans as to just what was going to hap pen to Alaska with regard to aviation. The thought was prompt ed after witnessing one of the most spectacular landings possi- De ever made. An autogiro or "Wlndmill'' plane was brought down in the presence of President Hoover and aviation notables to a perfect landing on a sloping bit of lawn surrounded by towering trees and the south, portico of the White House.
 The big machine was brought to a stop on the downhill slope after it had rolled less than ten feet. The President declared the autogiro as "one of the outstand- ing improvements in heavier-than air craft, while it's ability to arise and descend with safety all most vertically makes it a prac- tical and decided step forward" <<t%

until she had talked with Tommy
 After this news Beryl was moro heartsick than ever. She knew that Tommy had got into something he couldn't get out of without more courage to face. He did not tell her frankly. but she understood that his association with the Lar kins had begun in spirit of de- fiance, and that he was hold to it by taunts.
 Tommy said he wished she'd let him alone. What had he got out oi life trying to please other people anyhow?
 Beryl attempted to bait him with news of Irene. It was the only way she could get to see him. She would drive to the Larkin dwelling from all she could learn Tommy was living there and park opposite the front door for hours at a time
 There seemed to be some smallcl members of the family. and occa- sionally they threw such things as overripe tomatoes and rotting ap- ples at her. Beryl suspected they'd have thrown rocks if they dared and the thought that Tommy was affording her some protection made 1t possible for her to endure the ridicule of the Larkins'.
 Tommy never would come out ex- cept when she coulud get someone to carry in word that she had news from the west. He came reluctant ly, for Beryl would plead with him little before telling him anything about Irene.
 But one time she tricked him. for she had something else to tell him.

"I know" Harry nodded under standingly as Sue told him that she wouldn't need a position in his fac- tory offices when Jack was estab- slished in his legal work again, as they would be married. But 1t will take a little while, perhaps. l won- der if his father will relent and take him back"
 His father ought to give three cheers and sing the national an- them at the chance of getting him back" Sue answered promptly.
 "Of course. And the old boy did a mighty neat piece of work in that case, too. He would be an asset to the firm. But old Judge Thornton never had his will crossed before. He hasn't forgotten that his own soh opposed him and defeated him, although he recognizes Jacks abil- ity and the right of his case. Life is hard to understand, Sue"
 May I keep my job, Harry" Sue asked lightly, catching her breath. while her eyes danced. T do type fast. The company won't lose any money on me-"
 NO, you can't. But if you in- gist on working you can take some dictation for couple of letters every day at the office. Personal dictation. I'll supervise it. And the salary will be s10 a week more than you are getting"
 Harry. if you weren't my sis ter's husband, and weren't so keen about Jack. I could almost fall for you myself" Sue told him solemnly.
 Almost, never quite.' he cor rected her. but his eyes twinkled with the mischievous light of old friendship. There wasn't anything melancholy and sentimental in the glance. That was all over. Their friendship was a normal, healthy affair.
 But I can't take your job, liar ry." Sue talked on. 'It wouldn't be fair to you. The girls in that room would resent 1t and their resentment would turn against the management I'm going on my own, Harry"
 Hary's right hand shot out You're the regular stuff, Sue. wish you would. but I'm glad that you didn't"
 Thank you. Harry. Now I've got to go back and do three let ters."
 But she didn't get the letters fin- ished. Shy had scarcely started the first one when she was aware that someone was watching her. She glanced up straight into the glowing dark eyes of Corrinne.
 Sue Merryman. What are you doing here? What would Jack say?"
 He probably would ask me If liked my job" Sue answered and went right on typing.
 Harry told me you were here.

YOUR CHILDREN

"A doctor know who makes q speciality of babies and small chil- dren keeps regular toy-shop in his working room. Nearby is a store where they sell ice-cream coner, Round the corner on the park stands a man selling balloons.
 At any moment one may see H white-clad nurse carrying back balloon or an ice-cream cone to the doctors office to hand to a strangt, frightened little patient.
 This doctor understands child psychology. He wants the childrt T, Ito know that he Is friend. Not the he bribes them, but by associatio of ideas he tries to identify himsc with pleasure as well as pain. T knows that children think concret ly-that a good act must carnate materially. Thus the presents.
 Cures Nervousness
 Moreover he insists that IL mothers of his children bring the in to all when they are not sic "Tf talk to them pleasantly abot q circus or an airplane and neyt mention health or medicine, they begin to feel that am q friend, not an enemy, and that very mental att titude toward me takes away any nervousness they may feel when am needed for more urgent things.
 What wise man he is. I know of another man, dentist, who asks his patients to bring in their chill dren a few times, when they are little, not to have work done, but to shake hands, stay awhile, watch his machinery work and get over the strangeness of the queer big chair.
 Naturally he asks that they be brought often enough later to have their teeth looked over, before there Is any opportunity for pain. That IS the regular way, of course, and not original, but the idea of friendship for those who must sometimes hurt them is.
 Creulty in Threats
 Anyone who deliberately frightensi a child by saying. If you don't be- have, I'll take you to the dentist and tell him to hurt you" Is beyond the pale. And yet it is done. for less than a year ago in a department store 1 heard woman threaten tired baby that very way.
 Association of ideas lies behind nearly all our fears. Anything un- usual that is beyond our under standing usually strikes our fear sense first. Doctors and dentists of- Aces nowadays with all their devices are not conductive to very much pleasure, particularly to children. Those machines are for our good, but children do not know that. TheT see machines in X-ray rooms that look like the chambers of the in- quisition. Motors buzz; lights nash on and off big engines are wheeled to and fro; even the doctor In white and the nurse in which are not pre- cisely in keeping with the child's ex- perience of people.
 I think this friendship idea Is great thing, and to teach the child that manipulating those machines is a kindly. wonderful person who wishes him only happiness and good

EXPERTS LIFT
 WHALES FACE
Huge Mammals Beauty Restored By Using Paraffine

San Diego, Cal, (UP)-"Your whale. Mir Hayward, needs its face lifted. It is sagging badly"
 Imagine being faced with the problem of a shrinking whale 1,500 miles from the ocean! Ralph Hay ward faced and met the predica- ment during a tour of the east with one of California's biggest products.
 For eight months. and over 30.000 miles of railroad track Hayward es- sorted and pampered his pet. Dead. to he sure. but nevertheless in con- stant need of care.
 "The problem we faced when we decided to exhibit the whale was will it keep?'" said Hayward.
 Embalming Used
 "We called in a professional em- palmer and. like Jonah, he entered the whales interior. removed a 1.200-pound heart and a thousand gallons of blood. and then pumped 10000 gallons of embalminS fluid into it.
 After a few weeks. our leading lady began to shrink. Her carefree, open countenance sagged disconso- lately. We called in some experts. and they said face-lifting would re- store her beauty.
 "'Go ahead and face-lift,' we said. So they shot the carcass ful of paraffin. They climbed all over 1t, shooting in the hot wax. just as though they were building up a boxers nose.
 You never saw such resurrec- ton. The whale returned to life, glistening and fat"
 Some of the cities, Hayward add ed, were skeptical about letting them exhibit. Chicago was the worst. he continued. but in Cleve- land he executed a contract with the city making 1t partner in a deal which allowed the use of a city-owned track In the public square.
 Later. Hayward said, he sold the whale to Cleveland. and Col. II. J. Twelvetree, commissioner of the public auditorium. put it on per manent' exhibition.
 Strange to say, the best business was not in inland cities We did a tremendous business on the New England coast, birthplace of the whaling industry. old whhlers came for miles to see a whale on q railroad car" he added.

Glowing, vital-looking hair is 2 flag of good health. It also is tht loVeliest possible asset for this thing called beauty.
 Whether you wear it long ol short, whether it curls or is straight. the condition of your hair is as important as it's color. II actually Is more important, since 1t Is so easy to change the color to- day.
 Several things go into the beauty of well-kept hair. They are all somewhat dependent upon your body condition. But the majority of hair ills are due to carelessness and ne- slect. Split hair, dull hair, stringi- ness, roughness, lack-luster - al are apt to be your own fault. Needs Early Care The right time to begin taking care of your hair is in the cradle That neglected. you can start now and even with q couple of decades or more handicap, you can do lot to improce the condition of it. You will have to brush 1t morn. ing and night, massage your scalr once day with a good tonic, per haps rub some good ourishing oil into it twice week, or give your SCH not OH SnampOOS.
 To take good care of your haii and scalp you need an excellent brush. or even two. For you should use an absolutely clean brush every day, and if you have two and alter nate in washing and using them, it is help.
 Use Good Brushes
 Whalebonc brushes are excellent for some heads. If your hair is fine and your scalp sensitive, do not con sider one Get a brush with fine deep bristles. one of the better class brushes that has it's bristles put in in graduated lengths so that they clcave the hair and reach the scalp An investment in one of these brushes may set you back about SIC but they last long time. How ever. there are many substitutes fol these high grade brushes that ar' good.
 If you are inclined to be hurried mornings, do your 100 strokes witt your brush at night. Rub in tho tonic first. massage your head nex' and then finally brush 1t. II you did this routine even for two weeks your hair would show the effects. Ii it Is that important to your hair to be cared for. don't you consider i' worth doing?
