phasizes the special tendency or the
skin to develop irritations III hot
weather. Because OF the ultraviolet
radiation. the greater humidity. the
increased activity of the sweat
glands and the increased exposure TO
infection. hot weather brings on all
sorts OF skin troubles. Sunburn can
be so severe as 10 incapacitate an
individual for weeks. A wet skin
exposed 10 the sun reacts more
quickly and more seriously than a.
dry skin. Various ointments and
creams help to prevent sunburn. Re-
Gently special creams have been de-
vel0ped To prevent serious burning.
"A freckle that comes out IN hot
weather Is not a disease. 1t Is an at
tempt on the part of the skin TO put
up a screen TO keep off the sunlight.
When the exposure Is topped and
the skin IS protected. the blood
picks up the pigment from the skin
and gets rid Of IL. Freckle creams
that are planned to peel off lie skin
are dangerous.
Many lotions and toilet waters
contain ingredients that tend TO de-
post in the skin on exposure to
the sunshine producing all sorts CT

needs no perfume-y. Toilet waters
can be applied after the bath.
The most common infection OF the
skin IN summer weather Is the in
festation between the toes known as

1T Is due to a widespread fungus
which gets ON the floor OF shower
baths, bathrooms and 1ymnasiums.
In addition TO this fungus. there are
other parasites which tend TO infect

 Paris, Aug 18--Moscow may be the center of world turned up- side down." yet it is also the pivot of a new civilization.
 This Is the outstanding impres- sion one gains from q vsiit to this laboratory of new human, social and political experiment. The foreigner first entering Russia is likely to feel he is jumping off into an abyss about which he Is igno- rant and of which he expects little.
 He quickly finds he cannot apply to Russia the yardsticks of any other civilization. Every phase of life in the communist capital is new and different. Transportation, shopping, theater going, and above all, the people, are startlingly in- teresting.
 When you leave the Moscow station, you naturally assume you can get a taxi but fortune in the form of taxi rarely smiles in Moscow. TO supply the taxi needs of this city of 2.500,000 persons there are exactly 115 decrepit cars, and generally some group of tour ists has gained monopoly on this mode of conveyance.
 You next turn anxiously toward one of the "droschkes" or horse cabs and ask to be taken to your hotel.

PICTURES NEXT WEEK

"A Woman of Affairs. one of the finest pictures of the season. comes to the Dream Theatre for q two day show next week. The production has several situations of excellent subtlety fully equal to the cleverest direction of any pro- ducer. The story has lost nothing of the dramatic power, fneness of characterization, splendid human ness and great situation suspense The Green Hat, from which it is an adoption. On the contrary, the screen treatment rates higher than did the stage version.
 The cast has real super propor- tions. Greta Garbo gives great performance as Diana Merrick. while John Gilbert has difficult rGle that he plays to fine sympa- thetic reactions. Lewis Stone, Dauglas Fairbanks Jr., Hobart Bos- worth and Dorothy Sebastian are excellent. "A Woman of Affairs" will be shown Tuesday and We'd nesday with q fine musical accom- paniment
