| AMEHlNA.
 Performances this afternoon and evening conclude the engagement at Warmers Strand of Miss Pin kerton" and "The Blonde Captive" two splendid feature pictures. The fall and winter vaudeville season gets under way tomorrow when a brilliant seven act stage show will be presented. Every act on this opening bill is a Broadway headliner as will be those that | follow on succeeding programs every Friday, Saturday and Sum- day during the weeks ahead. The | Strand management promises stage shows that will surpass anything ever seen on a local stage hereto fore. The screen feature on this | opening program is the much awaited hit "Okay America" star ring Lew Ayres which has been scoring tremendous hit in the west coast theaters.
 Ayres is seen as regular radio broadcaster who thus supplements his work as a columnist, and brings to light many secrets of New 1 York's night life. To those who \ are not acquainted with his meth OuS OI SdtuCllhS AlCWo AAS nSSAAAS " have an uncanny ability Of discoV- ering little known facts.
 This picture, it is said, reaches a high pitch of excitement when Ayres, in the character of Larry Wayne, runs afoul of New York gangsters, and daringly broadcasts news concerning them which even the police have been unable to un- earth. He solves mysterious kid naping case, but in doing so brings about a situation which supplies climax of unusual power.
 The cast supporting Lew Ayres in "Okay America" includes Mau- reen O'Sullivan, Walter Catlett, Allan Dinehart, Margaret Lindsey, Henry Armetta, Emerson Tracey. George Dow Clark, Marjorie Gate- son and many others.

HORSE FEATHERS" STAIR RING THE FOUR MARX BROTHERS OPENING AT THE STATE SATURDAY.


 The mad, but merry, Four Marx brothers, specialists in nonsense, are starred in Horse Feathers, fourth of their moving pictures, which comes to Warners' State theater Saturday.
 "Horse Feathers" like previous
 Marx Brotherse pictures, is sheer foolery, with the bemustached Groucho talking and punning at a terrific rate, slow-moving Chico an- swering in Italian dialect and oc-
 cationally playing the piano, red- wigged Harpo chasing his blondes, and almo ost-normal Zeppo making love to the ingenue.
 In Horse Feathers" however, they have definite roles. Groucho is a college president who took that job to get his son, Zeppo, out of school, where he has spent twelve years or so. Chico is the
 village bootlegger and Harpo the village dog catcher.
 Horse Feathers was written
 by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and s. J. Pere1man, noted comedy- makers themselves. Music and ly-
 rics are by Kalmar and Ruby, with
 Norman Mcleod directing. Perel-
 man, author of several humorous
 books, collaborated on Monkey
 Business" a previous Marx
 Brothers picture, while Ruby and Kalmar, authors of numerous
 Broadway musical hits, worked on
 the stage. production of Animal Crackers"

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRl.
A Book q Day.


uCH HoULD boy or girl read a
~ book a day?" l vote No. Now
and then there is little book
~ that child can read through
in an hour or so. Well ana
good. There is no sense in insisting
that a child stop in the middle Of a
story Just because it is the middle. Let
him read his story and go on from there
to something else. Vary his occupation.
The lady who asked the question Is
an assistant to the librarian during the
Summer, when children read a good
deal. She meets the child who gets q
book each day. Be the book long or
short, he reads it in the day. He thinks
he does. Does he do well to handle
books like that?
To begin with, the cnild's health
would not allow him to read like that.
An hour or so of reading day Is about
all that a child can do. To read all
day, scarcely stopping for meals, Will
weary a child's eyes, check his dlgeS-
ton, make him irritable and cause him
to lose touch with family and friends.
A child needs a variety of cccupa-
tion The book is for happy hour or
so, not for whole day. That is making
toll of q pleasure, as the proverD
has it.
Apart from the effect this steady
reading has on the child'S health, 1t has
a baleful effect on his reading habits.
A child who races through a book Is
not reading it in the real sense OF read
ing. He has only dim notion OF the
matter when he closes the book. He
used it to lull his mind to sleep.
1t is not wise to lull mind to sleep
when one is young. 1t is not too good
a practice when one Is old and full OF
cares. A mind needs to be stimulated
charged for action. When child uses
books to carry him out of his world for
hours and for days there is something
wrong with his world The teacher, IL
brarian. mother ought to start search
into his daily living, into his way of
thinking and doing to discover the rea-
son for the child'S desire to retreat
from the world That Is, what is at the
root of this day-after reading
Don't imagine that the child is getting
any quality from his reading. Nor that
he is a bookloyer of any worth. He is
searching for means of quleting his
unrest That is not the best use for
books in childhood or youth. whatever
might be said for it in old age.

Read with him. Talk over the books.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

What q strange sight we see as we
walk along street in Oporto! A woman
Is coming toward us and on her head
she carries q basket containing two
small children! The children are hardly
more than babies. but the load must be
heavy.
For mothers to carry children on
their heads Is not a common thing even
in strange parts Of Europe; but thou
sands of women in Portugal, Spain,
Italy and Greece, as well as in Africa
and Asia carry water jars, baskets and
bundles on their heads. They often
walk along without touching the bur-
dens on their heads; but the woman be-
fore us, with her precious babes, takes
pains to steady the basket.
After wandering about Oporto, we
hike into the country to watch farmers
at work. Along the road We pass a
man leading a pair OF oxen which are
hitched to a two wheeled cart. Creaks
and groans from the cart inform us
plainly that the axles have not been
creased lately.
In the fields We observe oxen pulling
carts which are being filled with new
cut grain. Most of the workers in the
field are women.
1t has been declared that two-thirds
of the work done in Portugal is per-
formed by women. That may or may
not be true; but it is certain that Portu
guese women take part in all sorts Of
queer occupations. When We come to
town in the course of our hike we see
'milkwoman" making her rounds. She
leads black donkey down the street
and on the back of the donkey are three
milk cans. People come to the door
ways to ask the woman to stop and sell
them milk
At some hotels in Portugal We see
girls who serve as porters. Sometimes
they balance suitcases on their heads.

A Sermon for Today
Worlds First Skyscraper.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

And they said, Go to, let us build
us city, and a tower, whose top may
reach unto heaven."-Genesis ix.4.
We today think the skyscraper is a
modern achievement; but the first sky
scraper was built in the far distant past,
when those ancient dwellers in the land
of Shinar said, GO to, let us build a
tower whose top may reach unto hea-
ven" Although that tower was never
completed, it possibly exceeded in height
any skyscraper we moderns have built.
Why was that tower built? Why do
we build Skyscrapers? We build them
to house the Offices Of business con-
Germs, corporations. transportation lines,
etc. They represent Capitalization OF
management in the control Of commodi-
ties and commerce. Our era has been
dominated by the passion for bigness-
big banks. big chains, big corporations,
big everything. Whenever ! look at one
of our mammoth skyscrapers think Of
it as a symbol Of our modern ambition
for bigness. May not all this explain

Shinar?

in the case of butterflies, there are sell
dom any species that appear for the
first time in Autumn, but only different
phases Of the same species.
1t is not even accurate to compare it,
as one is tempted to do, to the changing
dress of lady through the day, since
an individual butterfly does not change.
One might say that the younger or
Autumnal brothers and sisters look
strikingly unlike their elder or Spring
and Summer brothers and sisters. So
much SO, that one might suppose them
to be an entirely new kind, If it hadn't
been demonstrated that they are one
and the same species. They not only
lock differently, but their behavior is
astonishingly different.
To take but one case out of many,
there is one of my favorites, the Amer
ican peacock butterfly. Owing to the
fact that our Autumns are usually the
driest part of the year, the two phases
are often referred to as the wet and dry
phases.
In the wet phases, these butterflies
are smaller, pale and brittle, the colors
running to pale brown in several shades.
