POLI'S

A marvellous show was enjoyed by all present at Polrs since the current program opened and which comes to the end tonight. Made up of two superb features it is all that is ideal in a film performance The first feature is Marlene Dietrich in ''The Devil Is A Woman" and a companion feature there is John Boles in Orchids To You"
 Starting tomorrow the star of stars as far as the women are con- cerned in picture that all men will love will head the program of this popular theater until Tues day night.
 George Raft, is the person allud- ed to above, and is seen in Dash- fell Hammett story, the writer who gave us The Thin Man.. The title of this one is ''The Glass Key.' Raft acts the part of the politi- cal henchman of Edward Arnold, political boss" of great city. Ar mold, supporting Charles Richman for senator, is in love with his daughter, Claire Dodd.
 Richman's son is murdered after he has an argument with Arnold and the latter's enemies start to stir up campaign to place the blame on him.
 Raft pretends to be estranged from the boss, cultivates his ene- mics and gains their friendship, al- though he dares death to do it he finally uncovers the murderer. You will thrill fo fhis feature and with the supreme artistry of the artists and the author, a great film has resulted.
 The companion feature on the same program is the last but best of the popular author, Gene Strat- comforter, 'The Keeper of the Bees" To those familiar with this story there is no need of any fur ther. need of saying anything and to those that are not. here is a picture that will be an event in town, as all of this authors films are.
 On the stage of Polls next We'd nesday evening there will be pre- scented the Championship Prize Waltz contest of this section. Elim- nations were held last night al Lakewood Park for the event and tonight at Quassapaug there will also be a group selected that will compete. Numerous representatives of other dance halls will compete for the award and title. Besides this there will be the usual double feature picture program.

Would This Be Tough!

Young's bill would make army an dnavy officers on duty in Wash ington wear uniforms all day long. They wear civilian clothes now and in that disguise, Young insists, flood the capitals cocktail lounges and country clubs.
 Says Young: My bill would reveal all the loafing among them. Civilians would be amazed and taxpayers outraged when they sa wthe hundreds of officers in uniform. They would insist that the officers be ordered into active service"

Hold That Line, Joe!

For years, Senate Majority Leader Joe Robinson has been privately assuring his friends that he would like to take sock at Huey Long. This yen comes on Joe in graet surges when Huey familiarly puts his arm around Joeon the senate floor.
 Robinson's candidacy for the U. S. supreme court requires a certain dignity and he thus far has held off. But the day may be approaching.
 When Roosevelt's soak -the-rich tax message was being read, Huey eased over, put his arm around his ancient enemy's shoulder, and asked:
 How do Va like it, Joe?"
 "Go way from me, or I'll black your eye!" growled Joe, who didn't like it at all.
 But Huey just laughed and re- peated the performance bit later, with:
 Flows it goin' now, Joe?"
 Hay off me, or I'll black both your, eyes!' missed Robinson gathering himself as if about to spring.
 Huey just kept on laughing, But he didn't come back. Let the Bones Roll
 If Roosevelt backed up the men who run the affairs of the District of Columbia. the capital would have legalized gambling.
 Both District Commissioner Melvin c. Hagen and Police, Chief Ernest w. Brown have agreed with Congressman William Schulte of Indiana, during an investigation of local lawlessness. that much oi the crime problem here might be solved by legalization of gambling which is now the chief business of Washington's underworld.
 Human nature being what il is," explained Hagen.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE COOL AND HEALTHY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

r HoaO to Keep Healthy or Cool or Both During
 the Summer MonthS) Eat moderately during the summer time And you're blood pressure won't be high; A peck of huckleberries in the lot are Worth can of them in pie. Study nature, try living in the open, Defy the mosquitoes and the flies, Thus acquiring healthy living Quite easy for him who tries. Try outdoor picnic suppers If not afraid of bugs; Take your likker in moderation, Drink your beer in mugs. Don't cry too much about the heat, Wear the coolest clothes you've got, Remember there's others besides yourself Who know that it is hot. Cool water will quench the thirst, You need not fill it with ice; Don't be hog on the family shower, That isn't very nice. Eat plenty of greens and salad, You might as we'll eat as not; Now, folks, practice these things, But think you'll still be hot.

These two groups are the envy of us all. Having little to do be- yond polo, golf, tennis, and an occasional fe wturns in a swivel chair, they're always invited to the best parties. They're the only fellows who have time to go and the only ones who have time to change their clothes.
 Furthermore, their clothes new CT get mussy, so they seldom have to change-an obvious item of unfair competition.
 Diplomats would be the espe- cial victims of Congressman Can non's bill, which provides heavy taxeson the wealth of citizens (male or female) who marry aliens. The tax would run from 10 per cent on all fortunes over $100,000 to 25 per cent on for tunes above $500,000.
 All over the world, one hears, Washington is looked upon as a happy fish-pond for young diplo- mats whose careers require an heiress in the family. The nu- merous heiresses who make their debuts here would think twice about that tax, Cannon believes, and the young diplomats would be so handicapped that even young cangressmen might have a look-in.

Washington, July 12-The pe- riod of taxation maneuverds er-maneuvers, trick plays feints, and about-faces has added greatly to the ranks of those in habitants here. who stand firmly convinced that they are living in what is technically known as a playhouse.
 The kindest friepdsof the ad. ministration wish you would blame it all on the notorious local heat.
 Low-minded persons who al- ways like to see the privileged classes get a kick in the pants are, however, enjoying a couple of developments on the side which give some promise of mak- ing capital life more bearable through a redistribution of its burdens.
 Congressman Raymond Cannon of Wisconsin is undertaking to add an element of misery to the lives of the foreign diplomats hereand Congressman Steve Young of Ohio has a diabolical scheme aimed at the army officers.

consisted only Of scattered local
showers. However, these showers
