'Why do physicians exercise
so much care in prescribing
drugs that are administered
only occasionally and so little
care in prescribing food which
is taken daily?"
The question seems more pro-
found than it is. There are
several answers. One is that
nearly all drugs have power
for harm if taken in too large
a dose or improperly.
The prescribing" of food for
older children must steer a
course between two dangers.
One is being too fussy and in
sisting too much on what you
think or the books think the
child ought to have. And the
other is letting the child fol-
low its own desires and hence
neglect wholesome necessities

Weight and growth. other

guides to the child's general
health.
The causes of underweight
are numerous. Perhaps most
Of the cases of moderate sever

habits. Among these are:

Advice to the
LoveIorn

Loves Young Dream"

Loves Young Dream"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 20 years old and have
a girl friend who is is years
old. I am very much in love
with her and she has told me
that she loves me. She has no
childish ways and is a sensible
girl. I have been seeing her at
her home for about a year.
Her parents seem to like me,
but won't allow me to take her
anywhere without someone else
going along.
Please advise me what to
do! Should I stop seeing this
girl until she is allowed to go
out alone, or should I keep
seeing her at her home? Please
tell me II you think I am too
old for this girl. G. M. =,
Just go to see your young
friend at her home sometimes,
and don't take things so seri-
ously. A girl Of fifteen is al
most a child Of doll-playing age.
Her parents are very sensible
in their attitude. It's a good
thing for boys and girls to have
friendships and pal about, but
fifteen is entirely too young
to be serious. No, indeed, I
don't think 90 IS too old for IS.

The third trick started with

trick, and led his Ace Of

won by BIS trumping AS Three

from Dummy enabled the de
clarer to regain his hand by
winning the trick with his
King.
A led another Heart. Dummy
used his last Spade to trump
the trick. rs King of Hearts
fell, leaving the declarer with
one long card of the suit.
The only way for A to gain
entry to his hand was by
trumping either a club or a
diamond. He chose the former
lead as the safer; it was pos
sible that Y held not more
than the one diamond that
he had already played; if that
happened to be true Y would
ruff a lead of Dummy's Ace,
running the declarer's chances
for making two tricks over his
contract.
There was no certainty that
spades would fall in two leads,
even after A had trumped him
self in on the ninth trick, but
in any event, the declarer was
certain of fulfilling his con-
tract, with one overtrick. A
already had won eight tricks;
he still must win two spade
tricks and either one diamond
or one heart trick, as z could
win only one trick, even if he
held all three of the missing
trumps.
Fortunately for the declarer,
all the missing trumps fell
upon the two tricks won by
AS Ace-King of Spades. He
only had to lead his good
heart, and then to win the
last trick with Dummy's Ace
OF Diamonds to make his Small

Legislation Up Soon for Benefit
of All Children

This state is listed as one in
which beneficial legislation on be-
half of all children will be offered
this winter by American Legion
leaders working in cooperation
with other social and child welfare
organizations.
According to Miss Emma c. Pus-
elmer, national director of the
Legion's child welfare division at
national headquarters in Indian
apolis, Ind, daily appeals are COM
ing to her office from other ma
tional and local social and child
welfare organizations, asking as
sistance and support in sponsor
ing improved laws.
In answer to these appeals, the
Legion is setting it's organization
into action for an intensive educa-
tional campaign looking toward
definite child welfare accomplish
ments at all the sessions of 43 leg
islatures in 1888.
While the Legion desires to
bring to the needy children of vet
Grams the service and aid which is
necessary for their best welfare,
Miss Puschner said, and while the
Legion is rendering this service
and aid at all times, it is also ex-
tending it's efforts, interest and in
fluence in behalf of improving
conditions of all children.
The Legion is interested in good
citizenship, and it fully appreciates
that it is through the children of
the nation that good citizenship
must be developed.

Cummings, which comes to the
Oxford Theatre, Sunday, Monday
and Thursday Of next week, one of
the funniest sequences in the film
revolves around the running down
Of the sound production apparatus,
heretofore one of the sacred I'M
touchable bulls of talking pictures
and never profaned by the lightest
breath of frivolity.
Now however since sound re-
production has reached such a
stage of perfection as to make it
unanimously accepted by the pub
lie, that early feeling of uneasiness
has worn off and self-condidence
has set in.
The Lloyd picture, Movie
Crazy" is the first instance where
liberties are taken with the sound
apparatus for laughs. Lloyd Stun
bled upon the idea quite accident
ally. While on the set one day, the
comedian called for a French tele-
phone. He began toying with it, hit
upon couple of comedy bits and
from this emerged a series of
gags known as the tests" sequence
which had even the hard-boiled
stage hands hysterical with laugh
ter. It is said to be one of the fun
niest bits of the picture.
Aside from the fact that this
sequence is unusual in that for
the first time it takes the audience
back of the scenes in sound re-
production, it has another novel
twist in that it was concoted right
on the set in the process of making
the picture. While this was not at
all unusual in the old silent days
with the coming of talking pic
lures the technique of comedy
building was completely changed,
making it necessary to have the
script almost entirely completed
before shooting actually started.
These unusual quirks on the part of
Harold Lloyd are what make all
his pictures so hilariously spon-
taneous and, according to word
from Hollywood contribute most
toward making Movie Crazy" in
which Constance Cummings is the
leading lady, the funniest of the
all.

Thi group of rocks is a natural
collection of huge boulders, situat-
ed some six miles from the high
way which threads through Mint

desert some sixty miles from Los

tural fortress and in this retreat
the bandit was able to elude his
pursuers or stand them off by
force.
One of the characters in
ARIZONA Terror" is that of Vas
quez himself. Although he was
known to the authorities as a ruth
less road agent, the Mexican popu-
lation of Southern California ador-
ed the bandit for his Robin Hood
qualities, as he robbed the rich and
gave to the poor.
Vasquez was finally captured
and hung near Los Angles. In Ken
