And with this tag on the characterization that brings her to the screen in her third big hit, Mae West in Belle of the Nineties". returns to the period which first skyrocketed her to fame, the Gay Nineties. It begins four-day engagement at War ners' State theater on Saturday. Roger Pryor. John Mack Brown and John Milan are seen as Macs new "tall dark and handsomes". She strides through an adventur- ous love-action story which has as it's background two of the most colorful cities of that period = New Orleans and St Louis, Mis- souri.
 With the Mississippi river coming in for it's share of local color, Miss Vests new screen offering drama tizes the strident days when man gambled with hearts paid off on aces and fought for fun.
 She is cast as Ruby Carter, the center of a whirlpool of action that brings her down the river from St Louis burlesque show to one of the most famous gambling houses in the South. Around Mae West resounds all the gaiety of song and music of the period. She sings My Old Flame" "Troubled Wat ers." Memphis Blues, My Amer ican Beauty" and When a St Louis Woman Goes Down to New Or leans.
 And above the rhythm to which Mae sways comes the thud of fists. for fights that were fights. and boxers that could take it" come into her life to bring complications and love. Historical characters move against the background for which Mae West is famous.
 Because of the great interest dis l played in the coming of this hit picture the first performance on Saturday will start at 12 noon promptly in order to accommodate the crowds who will want to see it and avoid standing in line. There will be no ten cent tickets sold during this engagement. A big special surrounding program has been booked personally by mana ger, Julia M. Smith, to accompany Belle of the Nineties'.

 Much interest in the hearing late this afternoon is beink show be- cause of the battle of the two dem- ocratic factions in Watertown for control in view of the fact that the town is considered a republican stronghold.
 Claims To Be Presentedl
 Deputy Attorney General Averill decided upon this afternoons hear ing after looking over the claims of the Harty group and the answer of the Dunn faction.

In the mean time, the Watertown republicans are pleased with the split in the democratic ranks and are pushing plans towards carrying the vote in the coming election

Bp YOUR CHILDREN
By OlNs Roberts Bsrtoe
IE5g Wkl7 J7ft7cz 1le

"Your politics, mother" mocks dad, ''are as mixed as vegetable soup You never know what you are talking about"
 Another time he says, "FoI heavens sake, stop that humming. You can't carry a tune."
 He and the children have many joke about poor, simple mothers ability to think or act. Undcr- standing grins and winks, even while they are devouring her ex- ceilent food, wearing her nicely laundered clothes and living in cozy home in which she acts as engineer, fireman, conductor, brakeman and porter, mother is made to feel like an imbecile and a fool.
 Across the street lives a family just the opposite.
 Oh, yes, Mrs Smith, too, is < good housekeeper and MT Smith is good provider. But 1t is MT Smith who Is laid open to criti- cism if not to ridicule.
 Mother Is Boss Here
 Not through comment on his politics or tunes, knowledge or wit, but by bulldozing and belit- tling.
 His wife is a determined person who thinks everyone but herself Is wrong.
 The children have borrowed their mothers open contempt for that wee small fraction known as dad, who only hands out all his money and plays Job in general. That he cannot hand out twice as much as he does is not counted As the least of his sins. Actually he is never allowed to forget it.
 In such unions-where one half is domineering or merely donli- nating-the other partner learns that the only road to peace IS good natured acceptance.
 Farce or Drama
 Families become either comic or melodramatic after a time with out realizing that to an onlooker they are material for a play.
 Too frequently children align themselves with the most forceful parent. As they grow older they may, of course, resent it and take sides with the weaker, but gen. erally speaking it undermines re- spect.
 The right answer, then, seems to be for parents to boost each others rating before the children, instead of belitting it. One-sided families are seldom a success.

Don't forget if you want to become really good player It means plenty of application.

If there were no critics there would be no successful men and women. You hope to make some thing of yourself son-well, all you need Is the wish and the back bone to work for it. Start that budget!

The perfect coiffufe is one that iatters your head as well as your face. Don't let a hairdresser spend add his time on the front and sides of your hair. They're important, of course. but SO are the back and top.
 After all, tall dancing part ner sees the top of your head and there's no reason to suppose that the back of it isn't noticeable a good deal of the time. See that the waves which start near your face continues backward to join smoothly across the back. As a matter of fact, a good finger wave operator generally will wave one side of the hair, work toward the back and finish on the other side. Some. however, do both sides and then the back. The method isn't nearly as important as the final result, so don't quibble about it.. Simple insist upon using hand mirror to look at all sides of your head before you are put under the drying apparatus. {.
 Remember that the length of time wave will last depends large ly on the care you give 1t, You can't go to bed without a hairnet and expect the swirls to stay Tn place. Get d fairly invisible net and pin it on before your head touches the pillow.

1. If this were true then we would expect the Census Reports to show that the cities that report the highest percentage of mar- riages in proportion to their popll- |lation would report the highest percentage of divorces in propor- ton to marriages. Professors F. II. Groves and w. F. Ogburn tabu- lated the factors in the problen, from the ITO leading cities of the United States and found there was no correlation whatsoever between thee percentages of persons mar ried and the percentages divorced. This disposes mathematically of Il lot of false sentiment on this question.

 Besides the medicine serves as an alkali to oppose any ac-
 idosis attending the illness. Is this not inconsistent? co. E.) It may seem so, to one whose knowledge of physiologgy is maiu- ly imparted by nostrum makers and plausible charlatans. Educated people of the class call wiseacrese are quite likely to cherish certain glib notions of sucn matters as <acidosis and high blood pressure, and once the bunk mer- chants have the wiseacres well in- formed it is easy to go ahead and exploit them, rather easier than 1t is to banboozle the plain every day ignoramus, for the wiseacre is a most credulous soul if you ap- peal to what he smugly considers his superior intelligence.
 As I have tried to explain here many times, there is no ground whatever for the notion that wrong diet ever causes acidosis. Starvation may cause acidosis, and so many i'll advised restriction in diet for the purpose of quick re- duction of weight. Acidosis not rarely occurs in the course of and as consequence of certain serious illnesses. But I repeat there is ab- solutely no sense inthe wiseacre notion that acidosis is likely to occur if you happen to take the | wrong ombination of foods or Il you prefer meat to vegetables Or If you like lots of meat.
 Certain publicity hunters in re. cent years have made the iron, page with their shrewd theories that acidosis is cause of "colds' land hence the proper treatment fol an illness that purports to be a common cold" is an enormous quantity of saleratus and a lot ol citrus fruit or it's juice and, wher you do resume eating, only foods which will not leave acid ash. Very plausible and entertaining for tho wiseacre, no doubt, but in my opinion it is sheer hckum.
 It is entirely reasonable to ex. pect that an attack of /cri (heaver only knows which of the Common Respiratory Infections it may bel may cause some slight acidosis particularly in the case of a child The alkali (citrate of soda) in the fool proof cough medicine" is no' used particularly for that purpose but rather because 1t is a ggoot sedative expectorant, diuretit and diphoretic.

 This explains why she has de- signed a series of children's mod els-from three to fourteen--con- cocted new perfume called "Parfum d'Anny," just for good luck. M
 The perfume is for sports, re- freshtng and refined yet with. a sort of woodsy tang that is .de- lightful. Madame Blatt has a wide range of artificial silk yarns that look like wool-wool yarns with a glint of cellephane-and warns the nature of whose mix ture she does not divulge.
