HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Nov. "a.
For the first time in eight years,
George Sidney and Charles Muir
raw are going to step out Of their
"Cohens and Kellys" series to
portray a different set of charac-
ters on the screen.
Carl Laemmle, jr., made this de-
cision yesterday after reading
salt Air" an original story by
Homer Croy and Vernon Smith,
veteran manufacturers of cinema
plots.
In okaying the new picture,
Junior made it plain, however,
that he doesn't intend to perma-
nently abandon the Cohens and
Kellys. These films, made at a
modest cost and always using the
same formula, have been some Of
the best money-makers in Univer-
sails program.
You out-of-town readers will be

Tables Turned
Last night, after the concert,
we played again. This time the
tide swung the other way. After
two hours of play Mr.. P. owed
me the tidy sum of $348. And
his joviality had completely dis
appeared.
He accused the stewards Of
stealing his wine. He told half
the people in the barroom that
they were complete fools-and
that he didn't care for the other
half, either. The more he lost
the more insulting the million
aire became. That he didn't get
slugged by someone is one Of
the miracles Of the age. I
finally walked out on him.

was owed me. And he tells me

OUR CHILDREN

Safeguards.


The first love of a small boys heart
is a knife, the sharper the better
Naturally mothers are afraid OF the
knife and quite as naturally they forbid
it. The small boy pleads and mother
is torn between the desire to make him
happy and to keep him safe. What
shall be done? Teach him not to
touch knife? That would not do. We
want to teach a boy. or girl, to handle
tools with surenesS and skill. II we
make them afraid Of the sharp-edged
things we cannot hope to train them
in their use.
Fear is a poor educational force at
best. Some fears We must have, but
these are usually the instructive ones.
Children are afraid of injury and death.
Their instinct draws them back. We
rarely need to accent such q fear once
| the child has evinced it, Usually a
child is cautious in using a sharp-edged
tool. 1t is his lack Of experience and,
in consequence, skill, that We have to
dread. If we don't let him have knife
he cannot learn to use 1t. Ibelieve that
every child ought to own knife and
know how to handle 1t.
Put a sheath on every edged tool.
The sheath on the knife will teach the
child to respect its possibilities without
teaching him to be afraid of it. He
reduces the danger and at the same
time becomes conscious that this pre-
caution is necessary. He becomes care
full instead of fearful
Small boys love hatchets. They like
to take them into the woods, or. falling
that, into the playground or lot where
they can chop to their satisfaction.
Hatchets can do lot Of damage. but
think the boys ought to learn their use.
Put shield on the hatchet and teach
the boy that this is the way Of all good
scouts. No experienced woodman car
ries an unsheathed knife or hatchet. II
he falls he is not in great danger from
the edged tools with the shields snugly
fitted. Without the shields fall In the
| woods while carrying sharp tool holds
many possibilities of danger.
The best teacher is example. Keep
your sharp tools sheathed in their
leather coverings when you are not
using them. Teach the children to put
the guards on when they are through
using the tools and insist that they ask
permission before touching your tools
sharp or otherwise. When child
learns to respect a tool he has gone e
long way toward acquiring safety in
handling them.
| Have handy first-aid kit and teach
the child to use 1t. A slight cut needs
attention, and If you take few minutes
to teach the technique of the f1rst-aid
kit you will be repaid by freedom from
anxiety in the time to come, when the
small boys start off on the all-day hike
There are pocket kits that take little
room and weigh almost nothing at all
A small boy would like one for
birthday gift, and it would cost so little
that you would never notice the ex-
penditure.
1t is not wise to teach a child to fear
cutting instrument or tool. Teach
him to use 1t with caution, to guard 1t
when not in use, and you will get
further with the idea and with the
| child's notion of the whole matter.

THAT BODY OF YOURS

two-thirds Of the children Of the United
States have faulty body mechanics-do

report shows that where systematic"
attempts have been made in the schools
to improve faulty body mechanics 1t
was always associated with improve
ment in health and efficiency.
am great believer In group games
for children. They strengthen heart
and lungs. teach a youngster to take
his knocks, teach him also to be un-
selfish, as he must work for the good
of the team and not himself; teach
him to control his temper, and train
him in many other ways.
However, there is no question in my
mind that If youngster Is taught to
stand and sit correctly, to walk with
his head up. his eyes straight ahead,
shoulders back, abdomen drawn in. in
addition to improvement in condition
OF all his body Organs-heart. lungs,
stomach, liver, intestines IS
bound to be an improvement in his mo-
rale or courage, his general outlook on
life.
Send your youngster to school or
club gymnasium to take the regular
body building and "straightening-u
class work.
Further, see that your youngster sits
well back in his chair. shoulders back,
not dropped, and that he stands and
walks In the erect position.

know that everybody knows It.
So they have q certain amount Of pride
in having their neighbors think them
smart, and now and then when some
one proves himself as smart or smarter

Chuck had long been the cause OF
considerable hurt to that pride. You
see. they never had been able to catch
him, although they had tried many
times.
1t was q long, long time now since
they had tried to catch Johnny. They
simply pretended not to see him and
went about their business as if there
were no such person as Johnny Chuck.
Apparently, they never gave him SO
much as thought. But they did give
him many thoughts. From a distance
they often saw him and every time it

enough, and there was the fact that he
had so long defied them. So, though
they didn't try to catch him, they did
think of him often.
This year Johnny was living not far
from Farmer Browns garden and a
like distance from the Old Orchard.
Never had he been better located. At
least, that Is the way he felt about it.
There was plenty of good grass and
sweet clover right near the doorstep.
1t wasn't too far for safety to that
garden, and in that grew many things
Chuck likes. A visit to the Old Orchard
was even safer, for there was the old
stone wall In which to seek safety II

apples in the Old Orchard Johnny
had a thought Of these when he dug
that home. Then, too, Polly Chuck was

about these young Chucks. Several
times Reddy had been quite sure that
he was going to catch one when warn
ing whistle from Johnny Chuck had
sent the young Chucks tumbling down
the long hall leading to their safe home.
The last time this had happened had
made Reddy lose his temper as well as
his anticipated dinner, and he decided
that Johnny must be caught. He said
as much to Mrs. Reddy when he got
home.

Hay Feuer Attacks Not
Entirely Due to Pollen

About 100000 people in the
United States Tor per cent of the
entire population) suffer from
either hay fever or asthma, or both,
according to official estimates. AL
though both diseases are classed as
non-fatal, both cause a degree of
suffering beyond the Imagination of
people who have never been afflict-
ed with them.
For years it has been the COM
mon belief that dust and pollen
were the underlying causes of Hay
Fever. But more recently investi-
gators have been asking, "If that is
true, why do not all people living
in weed-infested areas have Hay
Fever?" The belief is growing
that dust and pollen are merely ag-
gravating factors, and not the true
cause.
It has also been shown that
about 20 per cent of the children
born to parents who have both Hay
Fever and Asthma, will at some
time in life have symptoms of these
diseases. This, too, seems to indi-
