JOHN BARRYMORE
 LOST TO THIEVES

Hollywood, Jan. l6.--(UP)--Valu- able personal records and S30,000 worth of bonds were stolen from John Barrymore's mansion while the actor was yachting with Elaine Barrie, his former protege, he re- ported today.
 Barrymore appealed to the district attorney to help him recover the property. He had not reported the loss previously because he thought private investigators might recover the bonds and records.
 The valuables were in Q huge steel cabinet which was carted away.
 Indications that the actor had some clue to the identity of the person takin ghis property was seen in his statement that he wanted to recover the records and bonds without recourse to legal action."
 Capt. Clyde Plummer, chief coun. ty investigator, assigned an aide to the case.

 About three months. Ran into Charley Sage. Remember Charley?" Linda did remember Charley. "He told me you were Q big shot. I wanted to see you, Linda. I wanted to terribly, but felt that well I had no right to-"
 "But you did have, Dix" That was all Linda said.
 That night they dined at her apartment. That night they rode out in Linda's car, driving over the road toward San Bernardino where the moon shone through the trees and the heady scent of the orange groves bordering the road was in- toxicating in the dampness, and the smooth ribbon of road was skinned as though they were without mos ton.
 "Sing to me-" she said, slipping further down in the seat beside him where her nose could touch the rough sleeve of his coat. They sang together, all the songs they had sung back in Newtown, popular songs played at the dances they had gone together, football songs they had boomed long ago, and operatic arias neither of them knew at all.
 Saturday night, in little white chiffon rag splashed with bril- liants that shone like the match ing stars in her dark hair Cit had cost $300), Linda danced in Dixs arms. Dancing every dance at the Mayfair dance at the Coconut Grove. Driving back, they parked beneath the stars and Dix held her in his arms, whispering the things she had waited 50 long to hear.
 They had dates and dates. They went everywhere and Linda had to think up pleasant little lies to tell Dix how she had come by tickets She suspected that he had no money and was unwilling to let him spend what little he had on her. She had plenty, and she loved him. When they were married and Dix was famous, she would give Up her job. Meanwhile they must have fun. She remembered, without bit- terness, that brief time when her father had died and Dix had drawn himself away from her. She was determined that would not happen again.
 Fortunately there was a let-up in her work. The studio was anxious for Linda to write the script of a picture bought for Lilli Lethe, and the book rights had not beer cleared up.

CHAPTER XIV

Linda said, 'STell me about your- 6Delf." She sat down, but not at her ,iesk - because she didn't want him to think of her as an executive when he was an extra. She had been little afraid that somehow he would look like those eager, too smartly and not well-enough dress cd young men who huttered about her in the studio. She needn't have worried about Dix. He looked no different to her after these two years than he had the June night he had left, asking her to wait for him. He didn't look any older, or in the least shabby. He wore his tweeds with the same casual air of gram deur. His collar was low, his hair a little longer, but she supposed that was what musicians went in for.
 T haven't any success story like you" Dix started. But I've had grand time. Rome, until that got to be @ bore, and then London. For a while I thought I'd study for the Met but had 8 chance to do a musical play. Played second lead"
 And then?" Linda asked eagerly, trying to reconstruct all that had happened to him in the time that she had dreamed of him, waking and sleeping, and had heard so lit- tie.
 He shrugged his shoulders. "Show business isn't very steady. Our show closed after three months and I drifted. Sang for a gramophone company, studied a Dit and made couple of Eng lisli pictures"
 Ohe was 50 eager to help him, to find something to pin to-. "Were the pictures fun? Did you sing the leading role?"
 "Not much" he answered her first question. And didn't sing the lead, as a matter of fact. An American doesn't in English pictures. Those chappies are pretty loyal r-own. and all that. I had some offers to do leads, but I don't think they know anything about making pictures. Hollywood is the only place to get into big time"

 A pedicure is one of the easiest beauty routines to do at home. With file, emery board. pusher. cuticle remover and bright polish. any girl can groom her feet per- fectly.
 After you have had your bath, put cuticle remover around every toenail, then cut each one straight across. Smooth down rough edges with file or emery board, push cu- ticle and dry skin, rinse of cuticle remover, wipe carefully and your toes are ready for polish.
 Even though you like neutral polish on your flngernails, better use bright shade on your toes. Cover the entire surface, using an orange stick to remove any which spills over along the edges. One coat should suffice. Incidentally, polish on toenails will stay on for about> four weeks unless, of course, you spend good part of each day on a sandy beach.
 Care of corns and bunions never should be included in the home pedicure. These must be treated by foot specialist. Callouses can be smoothed down with 8 piece of pumice, but be careful not to rub too vigorously.
 You should, of course, use foot cream or rich nourishing cream on feet and ankles at least twice 8 week. A good many women mas sage hand lotion into the skin on ankles and knees every day.

THE BLIND LEADING THE
 BLIND


 A tin doctor, in my lexicon, is a nurse. whether graduate, registered, certified, trained, practical, corre- spondence school or saireygamp, who undertakes to give medical ad- vice or medical service either pri- vately or as an enlploye of store, factory, school broad, health board or other institution.
 Now if were a nurse, any kind, I'd take a job as tin doctor fl. the position suited me and hadn't Suf- ficient work to make living in the legitimate nursing field. Tin doctor ing is tacitly approved by all the powers that be. It is quite as re- spectable racket for nurse as is the "clinic" racket for struggling young physicians. A job as tin doc tor in a plant gives the nurse im- mediate and regular employment with regular pay, such as 1t is; whereas great many young women who haze finished thorough courses of training in the best schools of nursing are in actual want and in fact dependent on charity or the support of relatives or friends. A partnership or connection with a "clinic" gives the young and un- known practitioner or specialist the opportunity to enjoy the advantage of advertising and so to catch some business quickly, whereas he would imperil his professional standing, his membership in the medical so- ciety, if he were to work the dodges and schemes as private physician practicing under his own name that he works as an associate of the clinic.
 In an article filling 5 1-2 pages in a 24-page bulletin" with the impos- ing name of Consumers Research, Inc, an expert advises consumers how to Shop for Medical Care. The advice is given by a trained nurse who has done relief work in Europe and public health work in New York City. She is now free- lancejournalist in the medical field" She is now @ nickel-plated tin doc- tor, at least.
 In every case where patient or his family wants the advice or as- sistance of second physician or specialist, certain points must be
 clearly understood: AS long as one physician is retained on a case, no
 second reputable physician will
 come in, in any capacity, except on invitation of the first; when Q
 second does comes in on the invi-
 tation of the first he cannot, un-
 der the code of the American
 Medical association, express any
 opinion on diagnosis or treatment
 contrary to that given by the first
 physician except in private con-
 versation with him. In other words, even though the second
 man sees that the whole case is
 being mismanaged, perhaps to fatal termination, he will not give
 either the patient or his family
 any inkling of the dangers of the
 situation. Further, if the second physicians private advice to the
 first is rejected, there is nothing more the second will do; those
 who pay the bills will never learn the facts or the difference of
