sTHE KING MURDER" AND FARGO EXPRESS"
 AT NEW GARDEN

"The King Murder" the new Chesterfield talkie which opens at the New Garden theater today is one of the best detective stories the screen has offered in many, many months. A good story, well staged by Richard Thorpe, 1t wil grip you from the first dramatic scene that forbodes the impending murder to the final amazing climax with It's ingenious solution of the baffling crime. "The King Murder" a novel by Charles Reed Jones, was a best-seller when 1t was published a year or two ago, and 1t Is not diff ficult to understand why D. P. Dut- ton selected it from thousands as one of it's best prize stories. The story has several unique angles. The criminal, it would seem, has absolutely enacted the perfect crime, for so careful has been his planning that he leaves neither clue ito his own identity nor the slight est indication of the means he has used to kill his victim. And what a trick there is in the solution! Take our tip, and don't pass up this one. In the cast is Conway Tearle. Marceline Day, and other we'll known stars.
 Fargo Express" Ken Maynard's latest world wide western picture is the companion picture. It is a drama of the old days in the early west when the law had not estab- lished its hold upon the wild west ern country and when the only means of travel and transportation was the stage coach with its con- stant danger of robberies. In Far go Express Maynard assumes the role of stage coach robber in or der to furnish an alibi for the brother of the girl he loves who Is being held for a stage robbery. Maynard's attempt to help the boy is misunderstood and he, himself, is accused of the hold-up. He finally proves his innocence and helps to capture the real criminals. The supporting cast, directed by Alan James from an original story by Earle Shell, includes Helen Mack, Paul Fix. Bill Desmond, Roy Stewart and many others.
 Also on the bill are the usual in- terested short subjects. The extra attraction tonight will be Auction Circus and you will have an op- portunity to purchase Christmas presents at your own price and if you are lucky you may walk out of the theater with the entire pro- ceeds of the auction.

JAMES DUNN TEAMED WITH
 BOOTS MALLORY

James Dunn and Boots Mallory play the leading romantic roles in the Fox picture, Handle With Care". in which Fl Brendel is also featured.
 Dunn appears as g. youthful as- sistant district attorney and Miss Mallory plays the part of a young shop girl who entertains the small children parked by busy mothers in a department store nursery.
 They meet as the result of the arrest of a six year-old youngster accused of stealing milk to feed a horde of hungry cats and discover they were schoolday sweethearts. Their romance gets a fresh start, but obstacles menace their hap piness and, following 8 misunder- standing, they part.
 How they are reunited through the intervention of pair of preco- cious youngsters, instrumental in eliminating sinister influences, Is the basis of what Is said to be an intriguing plot.
 David Butler, famed for such sue cesses as Sunny Side Up" Deli cious' and Down To Earth, wrote the story and directed the picture, which comes to the Poli- Palace theater on Sunday.

Star Player, Coach and Author of
 s'Winning Basketball"
 Question: Some players shoot at the basket with a great deal or spin on the ball; others throw what we call a 'sfiOater." Which do you recommend?
 ANSWER: I have always ad- vocated the spin shot. My opinion Is based upon many years or ex.' perfmentation, and observation Of both types.
 In that tinie T have found that the average player has more con trol over the ball and shoots with greater accuracy when spin is em- ployed. A decided Improvement will not be noted immediately after changing over to the use Of the spin shot: accuracy comes only with practice.

Everyday Psychology
Feeling of Inferiority.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

The much talked of feeling of in
feriority is not complex, not thing
IN itself. It's a mental symptom-a
symptom of being at odds with your
surroundings.
Every time you fail to accomplish
something you set out to do, a certain
tension is aroused. You are confronted
with the question, why did I fail?"
Feelings of inferiority always origi-
nate in unanswered questions Many
grammar school pupil gets the feeling
when he can't find the answers to prob
lens in arithmetic. Many a human
career has been ruined by the unsolved
puzzles of mathematics. All of which
means that the individual did not ac-
quire the habit of trying to reason out
the answers. He acquired the habit of
trying to hit" upon the answers
How does it come that those who worry
most about their inferiority are the very
ones who regard life and all its mean
ing as matter of 'luck?" They have
simply acquired the habit Of making
the external world over IN terms of pri-
vate notions. They are not looking for
the why" of things. They are inter-
ested in the whats" of their private
imagination. Study the feeling of in
feriority how you will, you can't help
concluding that 1t is the direct outcome
of a misdirected attitude.
The feeling of inferiority is not q
symptom of abnormality, as many sup
pose. 1t is well to remember, however,
that normal mind continually finds
something interesting in the external
world. while the abnormal mind is in
terested only in the self

Light on Bridge Tables

GOOD light on the bridge table is a
~ modern social necessity. One
lamp comes in sets of two that are con-
trolled by q single switch and socket.
They will food the table with light
without binding the players.
And to make themselves even more
welcome at bridge parties. each lamp
carries along with it q deep ash re-
ceiver and two holders for glasses.
Another type of lamp has way Of
keeping to itself up on the wall in its
solid brass socket, yet, when nicely
asked, will come down of the socket
and sit on an open desk. The shade
comes in almost any color you want,
and Is decorated with friendly little
flowers.
Tan Is probably the best color for
your shades, especially a tan that
has a warm rose cast to it. Rose itself
is annoying to some people.
Whatever you do, avoid blue shades.
They produce cold, uncomfortable
light that will make any guest trump
his partners ace in sheer desperation.
Green, too. is uncomfortable Light
itself is yellow, and a shade that
merely acts as a subduing agent is
your best bet.
This lamp is perfect for the young
sters room-on the wall when they are
romping about, on the table at night
when they want to study.
The extension cords needed for these
lamps, like all other extension cords,
merit a little attention. Handle them
carefully so as not to injure their pro-
tective covering.
If the cords become worn. replace
them at once, because defective cords
can never be deDended on Further
more, avoid using very long cords. They
are unsightly and unsafe, for obvious
reasons.
Have a number Of outlets put in YOUR
baseboards at convenient intervals, then
most of your wire problems will be
solved.
Remember, a suddenly blown fuse at
party is not one of those things that
make your guests want to come again.

when money is not wisely spent IN par

shows poor judgment, just as mucn as
to overstock when the purse Will suner.
To buy what is not wanted because
the article is being given away ana
because it is beautiful, is fault lalo at
the door Of the woman who has httle
knowledge of how to buy. l remember
reading a story once of a woman who
bought a purple belt because she could
net resist its beauty and its greatly re-
duced price She had nothing to wear
the belt with. therefore she bought
dress and that meant hat, SO in the
end she paid dearly for the low-priced
belt. If, on the other hand, the woman
had needed the purple belt she would
have been fortunate indeed to have
found just what she needed at the small
sum asked for the article.
The woman who refuses to buy what
she actually needs, when she finds 1t
cheaply priced. is foolish. This is as
suming that the low price does not be-
speak poor quality, but reduction in
price of a high-grade article. There are
women, and men, too, who gauge the
worth of articles by the asking price.
There are shopkeepers who realize this
and cater to such customers.
1t is when persons know values, when
they lay in supplies as much as possible
when things are low-priced. who refuse
to buy when they know their funds do
not warrant a present expenditure, but
who stock up well when they do and
prices are low, who have fine founda-
ton knowledge of how to buy.
