Trio
In "Wife VS..
Secretary
Difficulties of Keeping
Husband Supply Brief
Bits of Agony.

The Hollywood master minds seem
to have way of exploiting triteness
with elegance, finesse and humor
wife VS.. Secretary the picture cur
rent at Loew's Palace, is proof of that
mildly banal generality. Clark Gable,
Jean Harlow and Myrna 10y have been
called upon to play major roles in a
quaint investigation Of very unim-
portant problem. 1t must be said for
all of them that they seem to have fun
or glossy Mysteries in the best manner
ana that at times the silken woes of
expensive matrimony are made to ap-
pear relevant.
There are laughs in wife VS.. Secre-
tary." Laughs and a gentle sort Of
million dollar agony here and there,
as Mrs. Gable miss 10y to you) floun-
ders about. wondering whether or not
she can keep her man. Mr.. Gable
seems much too delightful and ener-
getic to be merely the publisher Of a
national nickel magazine. Miss Har-

tation as opposition for the luxurious
and luxurious Miss 10y. should say
there was only a modicum Of under
standing between any of these people,
the better sides of their natures ex-
pressing themselves occasionally, when
Mr.. Gable sinks a diamond bracelet in
his wife's anniversary breakfast fish
and in that quiet moment wherein Miss
Harlow tells Miss 10y that she Is a sap
not to. stick to her good husband, be-
cause if she doesn't, somebody else will,
If you know what mean.
AS if somebody else were needed
around the lot when this particular
trio was on hand. the producers of
Wife vs. Secretary" have included a
rather distinguished supporting cast.

cent illness received a visitor from
what he has already learned to call
"the Sooth."
We hadn't seen Freddie since he al
most annihilated us with a foot ball
this Fall in Hollywood. And in spite
of the flu, which," Freddie said, "the
doctors were afraid might turn into
pneumonia or mastoids" Che was quite
calm as he said this and his aunt add
ed as an aside that his temperature
had been over 104 for several days. he
seemed in excellent spirits and very
excited at the prospect Of going to see
Jumbo" tomorrow night.
You'll drop back to see your old
friend. Jimmie Durante, won't you
Freddie?" said his aunt.
"Oh, yes" said Freddie. And then
asked. THAT isn't his real nose is it?"
When the trio present assured MIN
that it was, he seemed slightly disap-
pointed and then proceeded at once
to show us new game that had been
sent him, a game played with large
round target, something like bow and
arrow target, at which you pelt darteo
something or -others. He scored a
hundred almost Immediately, SO tne
game was a great success.
Freddie, during all this, and as an
M-G-M cameraman hovered In the
distance and took pictures, regaled us
with his impressions of First Lady
which he had found very much to his
liking-"its about Washington" he
said-with brief accounts of his trip
over to the Fox lot where he made
Little Lord Fauntleroy" and with his
plans about going back early in the
week to Hollywood, where he will start
in right away on Captains Courage
ous."
His aunt added "he would like to do
The Prince and the Pauper', but there
seems to be some kind of trouble
about it.
Before we left Freddie has offered
us some of the candy which Maj.
Bowes had sent him, told us that he
had given up cake for Lent C'that's
only because he hardly ever eats il" J"
said Aunt Millicent with wink
promised to give our best to Kay Null
vey on the M-G-M lot, and also
promised to come to Washington the
next time he Journeys East.
Please tell all those nice people I
would have met"-said young David
Copperf1eld-"that I'm awfully sorry
that was sick. I'll try and do better

About the cutest stamp taking was
performed by some ingenious individ-
ual when the Spanish were quelling q
Moorish rebellion in 1893. About So
Spanish regiments had sailed from

forger provided special stamp,
ornated with the regiments arms and

constant. The largest part Of any
food is water.
But the body loses water at a
tremendous rate. Regularly by the
lungs, less regularly by the kidneys
the kidneys excrete water prac-
tically only when there is an excess
in the tissues. But in hot weather
the greatest loss is through the
perspiration. We do not realize
how large this amount is: we i'm
mediately replace it with drinking
water when the loss is sufficient
to make us uncomfortable, but we
do not measure the amount we
drink and it would be surprise to
know how many quarts a day it is.
In extreme conditions, such as in
certain mines in England, the min
ers come up from their shift with
their boots full Of perspiration and
a gallon or more may be recovered
from each boot.
Our water balance is regulated
by the very delicate mechanism of
the general bodily sensation OF
thirst-far more insistent and un-
comfortable than hunger.
Water Moves Rapidly
The water which we drink moves
rapidly through the body, clean

ing the digestive canal, flushing
out extra waste from the kidneys
and helping heat regulation by
evaporating on the skin. The fixed
water in the body tissues, however,
is very constant. Experiments
have shown that it is almost inn
possible to add to it and that if so
much as a teaspoonfu! extra is
forced into the tissues very serious
symptoms MAJ develop. Equally
serious symptoms develop When it
is depleted-dehydration is one of
the danger points of animal and
plant life.
+ Plants, as all who live in the
drouth-parched middle west in the
last few years can testify, die all
too readily from lack of water.
The only known disturbance Of
water metabolisnn due to internal
arrangement of the body is called
diabetes insipidus."
The ordinary form Of diabetes is
called diabetes mellitus flellitus
meaning honey or sugar: in diabe-
tes insipidus there is no disturb
ance of the sugar nutrition. 1t is
very much rarer than diabetes mel
illus. In this disease the cells Of
the body are unable, apparently,
to fix water or to utilize it for the
ordinary functions which it per-
forms, so that it flows away by
way of the kidneys as soon as
drunk. Such patients will drink
and pass off several gallons day
over ten gallons has been re-
ported.
In spite of all the water they
drink the patients are tortured by
thirst. Sometimes by hunger, too,
and the story is told Of one that
he frequented a restaurant where
bread was given away free, ate
so much of it that the proprietor
paid him to stay away.
Helpful treatment followed the
observation Of some cases that fol-
lowed accidents in which, the base
of the skull was injured with con-
sequent damage to the pituitary
gland. Extracts of the posterior
part of this gland have given relief.

The only chance for the grand

THE VIENNA COUP

SIX YEARS ago, several bust

disputes on proper bridge pro-
ced'are, by telephoning me. Times
have changed. Today those same
men write letters. Here is a ques-
ton just asked: IFS it possible for
South to fulfill grand slam con-
tract at no trumps? The opening
lead was the @ of diamonds"
There are visible just IL tricks
for South: 6 in spades, 3 in hearts,
2 in diamonds and a single club
trick. The problem is to steal a
trick from West, either in dia-
monds or in clubs. Can it be &C

ment had any participation, directly
or indirectly, with the nogging. The
man accused by Rogers Is not, and
never has been, q member Of this de-
partment."
When a reporter asked whether
c. w. Carlisle, the man accused by
Rogers. was not a special police Of
f1cer, the chief replied: "He had q
commission as a special ofhcer, the
same as several hundred other men
in Tampa" The chief did not add
that these special officers were Klans-
men. Carlisle, as well as the Orlando
special policemen who carried Klan
cards when arrested, Is under indict-
ment.
Public Demanded Action.
The police chiefs statement sounds
like formula which Is often followed
by elected law enforcement officials,
who. whether because Of lodge af-
filiations or physical inertia, want to
wash their hands Of kidnapping, fog
ging or murder case. In this part
Of the country it ends any expectation
of official action.
1t would have ended action in this
case If Tampa newspapers and ciyE
organizations had not continued de-
manding action and If Hillsborough
County officials had kept out of the
case. The American Civil Liberties
Union offered $1,000 reward for con-
viction of the f1oggers, and the Tampa
City Council added $2,500. William
Green threatened to withdraw the
1886 American Federation Of Labor
convention from Tampa. Gov. David
Sholtz demanded arrests. Norman

thrown, face downward, across q log.
Several men took turns flogging him
with chains, straps and clubs. Roof
ing tar, thinned down with gasoline,

feathers scattered over that.
Clubbed by Klansman.
The same procedure was followed
with the others, only with more cars,
more bright lights and more hoggers.
Shoemaker, a heavy man, had been
thrown into a car on top Of Poulnot.
He was only half conscious, having
already been clubbed by an Orlando
kiansman.
The job completed, the 1loggers
started back to Tampa, horns honk-
ing. A goodly portion Of these uphold
ers Of their own brand Of morality
and Americanism used the proceeds Of
the job to continue their drinking In
Tampa saloons. This was one source
from which the sheriff learned their
names.
The three broken victims were left
to get into their clothes and walk
back to Tampa, IA miles away. Shoe
maker dragged himself along for a
couple of miles and collapsed. The
other two carried him to the side of
the road and .plodded on, fearful that
they might be beaten again when they
reached Tampa. The fioggers' last
warning had been, "Stay out Of
Tampa!" At 2:40 am. Sunday Mrs.
Poulnot telephoned Jack Shoemaker
that her husband had arrived home
in a terrible condition and that Shoe
makers brother was lying unconscious
somewhere in the country. They had
known since IL pm. that the three
men had been arrested around 9
O'Clock. and 40 minutes later re
leased" by the police.
Tried to Ignore Incident.
The attitude Of Chief of Police
Ellsworth suggested that the city ad-
ministration intended to ignore the
incident-the policy of many officials
when the Ku KluX Klan is mentioned
in connection with an act of violence.
The police participation was on record,
and the incident was widely discussed
in Tampa Sunday, but the chief de-
clared he knew nothing about it until
he read the local newspapers Monday.
Three days later, December S, while
county authorities were investigating,
civic organizations were passing reso-
lutionS of protest and the written rec
ord of the police kidnapping was in the
chiefs own Office. he gave out a state
ment, reading in part:
