We wish you many happy re-
turns, children.
Winners In the "Old Fash
toned Girl" contest viii be an
nounced tomorrow.
We congratulate entrants in
the contest on their stories. Ap-
parently you all took our words
Of warning to heart and they
were practically all under 200
words.
One entrant wrote 201 words
and apologized. She said she
just COULDN'T cut out that
extra word. We could show her
half a dozen places where she
could have eliminated words
and improved her story.
The show is Saturday morn
ing Of this week at the National
Theater. It is the Children's
Theater Players third visit to
Washington this season and
they will be back again twice.
Those Of you who missed out on
this contest have TWO more
chances to see them.
The remaining two shows
are:
Rip Van Wrinkle, March 10.
King of the Golden River,
April 20.
Neither of the two stories
need any introduction to most
of you. Both are old favorjteS.
Those of you, however, who
haven't read them should has
ten to the Public Library and
get copies of the books and
read them. No child can grow
up properly without ever having
read the two.
We haven't had an oppor-
tunity as yet to read "Old Fash
.ioned Girl" chow EVER did we
miss it when we were young)
so we are going to make a spe-
cial point of seeing the show.
And just as soon as we have
time we are going to read the
book. Louisa May Alcott was
one Of our favorite authors
when we were a bit younger
and we still have a soft spot in
our hearts for her.

Wild Cold at Apollo

John Boles is reputed to have a
distinctly different type of role in
wild Gold" the new comedy
romance produced by Fox Films
which is appearing currently upon
the screen of the Apollo theater.
BoleS is cast as young happy-go-
lucky mining engineer and his por-
trayal stands out as strong he
man characterization; quite in con-
traSt with his former parts.
Supporting Boles is Claire Trevor
and Harry Green, seen in the all
important featured roles. Other
members of the cast are Roger I'm
hoff, Ruth Gillette, Monroe Owsley
and Edward Gargan. A chorus of
Hollywood, beauties are seen in the
lavish cabaret scenes.
The plot revolves around the fas-
cination of Boles for Miss Trevor,
seen as cabaret entertainer. Miss
Trevor is told to leave the cabaret,
due to shady dealings by her
racketeer husband. After this cpl
sode, she tells her husband that she
is leaving him and departs for San
Francisco. Boles follows her and
both are forced to stop at all obscure
western mining town.
While sojourhing here and await
ing the arrival of parts for Miss
Trevor's car, which we're purposely
damaged by Boles, the two strike
up lasting and beautiful friendship
with old Pop Benson, kindly pros
pector.
The old man has sent out word
that he has struck gold, and women
and men alike come pouring into
camp. Among these first corners
are Harry Green, Ruth Gillette and
their revue. Coincident with their
arrival Miss Trevor's former hus-
band also appears upon the scene to
hamper the budding romance of
BoleS and the girl.
The kindly proSpector is found
dead and suspicion points to the
erstwhile husband of Boles' sweet
heart. How Boles solves the mys-
terry, forces the racketeer to divorce
his wife so that their happiness may
continue, proves the highight of the
fast moving drama. Harry Green
supplies the comedy throughout.
George Marshall directed under
the supervision of Sol Wurtzel.

They stepped into the operating
room, fully clad in masks and white
coats. Unused to this tense atmoS-
phere, their hearts began to sink,
and they confidently expected that
what they were about to see would
be bit too much on the grewSome
side.
But, instead, they discovered that
the operation they we're scheduled
to witness was nothing more har-
rowing than the removal of piece
of bone from the hand of an ex-
tremely pretty grill
Afterwards, while the patient was
still under the anesthetic, she was
moved into various camera
angles" which proved of considerable
help to Raymond later when he
came to organize his own operation
scene in the specially built operat-
ing room in the British studios.
H. B. Warner recreates the role
of Captain Stephen Sorrell who, de-
serted by his wife, takes mental
and backbreaking labor to make
his small son. Kits life better
thing than his own.
The fathers years of unceasing
toll enable the son to realize his
ambition and become a surgeon,
while the father reaps only broken
health and the joy of seeing the son
he loves happy and successful in
work and in love.
An entirely new cast, including
Hugh Williams, Winifred Shooter,
Peter Penrose, Margot Grahame,
Wally Patch, Ruby Miller, Evelyn
Roberts, Hope Davy and Louis Hay

The park will be open and in full
operation seven days a week for the
remainder of the summer.
Last summer and during the first
part of the present season the re-

He settled himself 10 watch. He
could hear the horses and cows in
their stalls. He could hear faint
squeaks Of his own people and fainter
ones Of the mice. ITO hear them one
would think that there Is no such
thing as danger" thought Robber.
If there is an enemy in this barn he
can hear them just as can. The
silly things should know enough to
hold their tongues at q time like this.
Hello! There is that foolish young
rat whom overheard boasting that
he didn't propose to be afraid until
he could see something to be afraid
of. Here is hoping he isn't too late
in seeing it. As live he is going
straight over to that bin right out in
the open. And that after all the
warnings he has had! If anything
happens to him he will deserve It,"
Sure enough q two-thirds grown
young rat was making straight for
that bin. He reached it and climbed
up on 1t. He began to greedily eat
some scattered grain that had been
spilled on the top. It made Robber
hungry to watch him. It began to
look as II the young rat would have
nothing to frighten him. Then Rob-
Der happened to look up. Was that q
shadow or was it something moving?
Robber didn't wait to find out. He
squeaked the danger signal and looked
over to that young rat.
Now that young rat may have been
needless and foolish and disobedient,
but one thing he had learned and
that was to obey a danger signal in
stantly without waiting so much as
a teeny weeny second to find out what
the danger meant. The instant Rob-
Der squeaked that young rat jumped
and that Jump was none too soon.
In fact it was, in a manner Of speak
ing, not soon enough. It was soon
enough to save his life, but not soon
enough to escape unharmed. Because
Of that prompt Jump Saw-whet, the
little owl, missed his stroke by ever
so little. There was a squeak of fright
and pain from the young rat. and
then he tore loose from the clutching
claws and reached cover. Saw-whet
alghted on the grain bin and snapped
his bill angrily.

There was fear that the little one

Then followed dark years. She

lovingly, however, until they were able
to obtain q teacher Tor her.
On q great day in March, 1887,
Miss Anne Sullivan came to Ala

quite Z years old. The teaching given
by this young woman from the East
proved to be the most important help
in Helen Keller's life.
Slowly, by hard, painful steps the
little girl worked her way out OF the

Bra6lep

THE name Of Bradley is derived
from the old Anglo-Saxon words
brad. meaning broad, and lea, mean
ing field or meadow. There are many
towns in England bearing this name.
William Of the broad lea" became
better known as William Bradley.
The first known ancestor of the
Bradley family was Roger de Bradley,
who owned 40 acres Of broad lea" and
was therefore a gentleman of great
consequence. This estate was near a
town also called Bradley.
In America there were many first
settlers Of this name who headed fam

into the fowl with a toothpick

For Decorative Candles.
Hold the candle by the wick and

give it a good coating Of white var
nish; put it away for a day or two to
harden. Then the grease will not run
down the sides after lighting, and
the candles will last twice as long.
Another simple method is to dip them
in a heavy soap solution made as fol-
lows: Pour one cupful of hot water
over a heaping tablespoonful Of soap
flakes; when thoroughly dissolved and
partly cooled, coat the candles with
the solution and replace in the candle
sticks to dry well before using.

Fringe Is being used a great deal.
Not only Is it found on dresses, but
on chairs as the trimming for the
upholstered pieces. 1t takes the place
of the welted seam. Brush braid Is

many from among them during the
last week. 1t was to try to see this
enemy that Robber was setting forth
now.
Careful was he to keep under cover.
At last he reached the place he had
in mind. He could see the grain bin
and all around it while he himself
could not be seen.
If anything is going to happen 1t
will be around that grain bin," said
he to himself. That grain is too
great a temptation for some of the
younger members Of the tribe. Their
heads still are ruled by their stom-
achS. They start out with the best
intentions in the world, but when
they get near that grain bin they for
get all the warnings they have had.

take chance for q little grain. Those
who live long enough will learn better
