Helen and Morris were house. hunting. They were to be mar ried within the month. Because of the uncertainty of Morris' job they decided 10 take Il furnished house or apartment for the winter, waiting the decision of his office. It might be they would be sent to another city.
 The two of them had great fun looking for n home. They saw dingy brown rooms that looked like twenty years ago. They saw black walnut homes of forty years ago. One of two modern places appealed somewhat. And then they saw rooms which had been done over recently in the Mid Victorian fashion but with a rare discrimination.
 Helen was reminded of some thing she had read recently. The author was making the distinction between fashion and good style. Fashion Is the thing of the mo- ment. Good style k always good even when t K not in fashion.

"Ago for Love- and "f'be Big
 Shot, on Deluxe Double Prograna

at State Tomorrow.
 Howard Hughes, who gave you "Hell's Angels" and Front Page" has another soorching hit in "The Age for Love" which opens a threo day engagement at Warmers State tomorrow.
 Howard Hughes made his bow to the film industry with 1.-TWO Arabian Knights" and followed with "The Racket. Both of these films won awards from the Acad- emy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as "best pictures" of the years. and won similar honors in nationwide polls of the couptry's leading movie critics.
 The young producer then made "Hell's Angels" which was the most lavish and spectacular motion picture of all time, and which es- tGblished news records of popular ity wherever movies are exhibited. More recently he panicked movie adlences everywhere with "Thc Front Page.
 And now comes "The Age for Love-" United Artists relense--- another bold and sophisticated treainent of a modern subect--Iovc and marraige. This is a new do- partment for Howard Hughes, but IS always, he rings the bell once again with q superior treatment of a theme tackled with less success iby other and less competent and courageous producers.
 The picture boasts n splendid cast with Billy Dove. Charles Star rett. Edward Everett Horton, Lois Wilson, Mary Duncan and others.
 The companion feature Is 'Thc Big Shot,, starring Eddie Qulllan which recently broke records in Boston.
 It is the tale of an ambitious youngster whose only asset is an auto camp, purchased sight un- seen, and his made struggle to put in on paying basis. The interfer- encc of his enemies and complica- tions in his love affair make this novel story absorbing and appeal ing in both comedy and dramatic entertainment.
 Quillan's performance AS the ambitious young man stamps him as being one of the most versatile of the younger stars and his hand ling of the dramatic scenes is out standing.
 Supporting the young stars are Maureen O'Sullivan, Mary Nolan, Roscoe Ates, Belle Bennett, Ralph Ince, Arthur Stone, Louis John Bartels, Otis Harlan, William Flu gene. Harvey Clark and others.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
Nfz sftsYIf f iflS

No part of your body needs q spring tonic more than your hair.
 The close confinement your head has had under tight hats. the drying atmosphere to which your scalp has been submitted while in the house or office, the too hot temperature of many homes all have q bad effect on hair.
 Why not devote the next month to re-conditioning your hair? A months concentrated effort will go a long ways toward bringing back lustcr to it. stimulating the roots and putting new life and beauty into your crown of glory.
 The best head of hair needs daily brushing and enough massage to stimulate circulation. If you have hair that never is any too healthy. 1t is apt to be at It's worst in spring and probably needs care badly.
 If your scalp lis suffering from dandruff. -oiliness, irritating dryness or any other unhealthy condition, have q specialist rec ommend treatment.
 If your hair just seems a bit run down, do 1t yourself. Apply cor rective tonic every night for q while, by parting the hair and batting the tonic on with a little wad of cotton, and then massagc the whole scalp. fY
 Brush your hair away from tho scalp both morning and night Keep your brush clean and after you have brushed about five strokes. wipe your brush off on q Turkish towel. You will be sur prised at how dirty the towel gets by the time you have finished brushing your hair and have wiped the brush off dozen times or so.
 'Shis. incidentally, Is q good way to clean your hair without wash Ing it. The head that has its daily brushing with clean brush often does not need shampoo oftener than once q fortnight. If your hair seems run down, the more you give it tonic and brush 1t and the less you wash 1t for q while. the better. Try treatment for q while and see. A months hard labor will make a showing on most heads

Ten minutes after 5. No use being 50 silly and nervous. Cissy wuold be coming any minute now. She had to como home. She could not go about in her old bathrobe. It might be easier to sit on the porch and watch for her. She coulud leave tho door open fin order to hear the telephone if 1t should ring.
 So, with the door propped wide, Ann sat on the porch and tried to insist to herself that this heavy, enveloping oppression was nerv- ous nonsense, and succeeded in bringing Up from the dreadful depths. whore such things wait. the thought of an accident to Ce- ely and Barry in his car. over a bank.

structive work done as result of pub
licity and "a reawakened realization
on the part of our own membership of

Most to be valued, there is a gen.

could not otherwise be supplied. They
have been used in chapter programs as
well as in clubs and school and COM

born women have been able to visualize
American principles better because of
them. Many children have been bene-
fitted when the schools have been able
to present a patriotic lecture, for most
