several Of the lots ans, at Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer, occurred an Incl
dent worth recording in these
columns devoted to chatter.
The social registerites had met
Jean Harlow and several other
players of the Labelled Lady"
troupe, and were on their way to
another stage when one of the two
studio cars conveying the party
chose this inopportune time TO
have a fiat tire.
Embarrassed explanations were
brushed aside by Mr.. Astor who
got out Of the machine and started
to help the chauffeur make the
change.
Before it could be completed, the
other car came up and he was
persuaded to enter, but the socialite
had already provided several Cos
sip-loving extras with an item to
pass around the sets.
Stepping out Of an airplane here
at a. m. the other morning, young
Owen Davis. Jr., got into waiting
car and rushed breakfastless to the
home Of Anne Shirley, No. 1 girl
in his affections and, Hollywood
believes, his future bride. The film
colony half expected the meeting
to result in the announcement of
the pairs engagement, but they
still refuse to confirm it in words.
Their looks tell different story.
Don't write your favorite asking
to get into the movies. Only a
few fans have ever won visit to
the studio in this manner, and
these not because they made a
specific request, but because they
carried on an intelligent CORE
spondence with a star over long
period Of time and the player grew
to feel personally acquainted with
them.

Attention
BY DONNA GRACF

You may be interested in what
a popular screen star says about
home treatments. The beautiful
Claire Trevor tells us her routine.
She says:
"CastOr oil, mineral oil, vinegar.
milk, eggs, and witch hazel are
among the most important ex-
ternal beauty aids any girl can
use," according to Claire Trevor,
blonde screen star.
Miss Trevor gives the following
"do-and-dont" summary Of her
home beauty treatments:
81 believe that many beauty
aids on the market are necessary.
But they must be supplemented.
The goddess helps those who help
themselves.
Tissue and skin.feeding creams
are needed, but one also must be
in good health, eat the right foods,
drink enough water, and get
enough air, sunshine, and exer-
else. So 1 never leave q cream on
too long; the skin should be given
a chance to breathe and function
normally. Once q week / pat
ordinary sweet milk or cream on
my face and throat, and leave It
on overnight. 1t acts as a COM
bination sOftener, skin food, and
skin bleach.
"Once q week, I give myself an
old-fashiOned egg.white facial,
which leaves the skin clean, closes
the pores and stimulates the blood
to renewed action. Try it when
you have q special engagement
and are tired. 1t takes 10 minutes
at most, and makes you feel and
look tingling and rosy. If your
face feels a bit dry after the egg
facial, rinse it In water SOftened
by q handful Of ordinary cereal
oatmeal.
"Of course, the cosmetics YOU
use are an important factor In
preserving the skin, no matter how
carefully you cleanse 1t.
Teeth, hair, eyes and nails?
Well, 1 shampoo my hair at least
every six days and rinse 1t with
vinegar which cuts any remaining
oil or soap and gives q lovely
sheen, and dry IL in the sun. 1
brush my hair at least five min
utes daily. use OdOrleSs castor
oil, when my fingernails became
brittle, removing the liquid polish
for at least one day a we~'r. to give
the nails breathing time"
Miss Trevor attr louteS her
healthy lovely teeth to the advice
of a dentist who suggested she
massage her gums twice daily,
placing her right forefinger inside
her lips, closing them over the fin
ger for suction, and rubbing down
ward from her gums to her upper
teeth and upwards toward her
lower ones. In addition,

Health
HChild Has
Earache
By LOGAN CLENDENTNG, MD.

All earaehe is not OF the in
ternal kind, which we described
yesterday. 1t may be due to q
furuncle or boil in the skin OF
the external auditory canal. In
ternal earache occurs more COM
monty in children; this form is
far more common in adults.
The fact that it is in the ex.
ternal ear and is not likely to
cause deafness Is no particular
comfort to the patient, because if
there is anything that hurts any
more than a boil in the external
ear, it would be hard to say what
it is. This is so because the
cartilaginous tissues and bone in
that region are unyielding, and
such swelling of the skin as occurs
goes up against brick wall, as
if boil in another part Of the
body were constantly being
squeezed between the thumb and
forefinger.
Boil Causes No Different
The cause of these boils is no
different than the cause Of the
boils elsewhere in the body. It
is the invasion of a hair follicle
or sweat gland by the pus-forming
germs, They are usually intro.
duced by dirty fingers or dirty
objects of some sort.
A common predisposing cause
is the itching or eczema which is
common in this region, as it is in
all cavities Of the body where the
skin is not freely exposed to sun,
air, soap, and water. Neglect in
drying the ear canal carefully may
have something to do with the
origin through maceration Of the
skin.
Once a fellow gets an eczema
Of the external ear, there is prob.
ably no power on earth that can
keep him from scratching it with
match from time to time. After
he has had a few boils from doing
this, however, he learns that he
better wind the end of the match
with some cotton and dip it in a
little antiSeptic, such as witch
hazel or bay rum. These also
serve to calm down the itching.
The treatment of the boil itself
is, in SO cases out of 100, a ques.
ton of time. Heat and cold are
the best things to reduce it. A
little piece of ice stuck into the
meatuS will give considerable re-
lief, and hot applications with
antiseptic ointments, such as anti.
phlogistine, are more comfortable
to many people.

indication to the combination Of
orange juice and the foods which
you mention, DR.. Hay and all the

It has no particular tendency to
cause gas or burning.
