Friday and Saturday. Times
Square Lady, with Virginia Bruce
and Robert Taylor is an entertain
ing picture in more ways than one.
Times Square Lady, moves swift
with very little lost motion. Vir-
ginia Bruce plays the part of Toni
Bradley, a young girl from Iowa
who inherits her fathers vast
sporting and entertainment inter-
ests in New York. Robert Taylor
plays the part of Steve Gordon, a
racketeer who falls in love with
the beautiful girl who is not so
dumb while Helen Twelvetrees, who
is the woman that hell hath no
fury like; and Isabel Jewell, the
wise-cracking blonde.
Monday and Tuesday-The new
est thing in horror thrillers on the
screen is The Devil Doll' with
Lionel Barrymore and Maureen
O'Sullivan, from the weirdly fas-
cinating story Burn, Witch, Burn.
1t tells in exciting accents the
story of a woman who could shriv-
Ell human beings-and animals as
well-into dolls six inches tall. An
elderly man who has been cruelty
and unjustly .imprisined because
his business associates framed him
wants revenge on his betrayers,
and seeks to clear him name by US
ing the tiny dolls" Dressed with
uncanny reality as a n old woman,
he accomplishes his purpose.
Wednesday and Thursday-With
a blow below the belt for gentle
men of the press in one fist and
bouquet for good old mother-love
in the other, II Found Stella Par

the fields of prankish comedy.
However stimulating, or otherwise.
one may find John Monk Saunders
story of poor Stella Parish, con-
victed of murder she didn't commit
and forced to bear her baby in
"pwison," to qquote Miss Francis,
it is a genuine relief to find the
handsome brunette actress back in
a drama where she isn't requqired
to be arch, coy or kittenish.

Your Biggest Job

dust off the counters, you make up new price
cards, you unpack and arrange new stock you
plan your merchandise shOwings, you do these
and hundred other necessary jobs REGU
LARLY in the normal conduct of your busi-
ness.
But how about the biggest job of all-cOn-
tacting the people and telling them repeatedly
that you are in business and have the goods
they need. Do you do that REGULARLY?
Do you figure you going to get your share
of the available business if you don't tell folks
about your merchandise your service at
REGULAR intervals instead of doing the job
spasmOdicaly not at all?
By all known tests, experience and thous-
ands of records, the acknowledged best-of-aI
medium for REGULARITY is advertising in
the local newspaper. A newspaper going REG

EndOcrlnes, HOrm0nes, Internal Sc-
 cretlons and Ductless Gland Ex:
 tracts
 To heft some of the books or rifle the pages of the current mag azines or listen to the bla-bla of doctors in the field of endocrinol- ogy one might infer that Medicine is making tremendous strides these days. Sometimes I think maybe she is, but again I get the impression she is just throwing her weight about the progressing hither and thither.
 Tricks in all trades, including ours. One of our 1eatest tricks, as too many of you wiseacre laymen seem to know, is covering of our ig- norance. When we don't know much about 8 thing we use some iorbidding terms to refer to 1t, and that enables us to get by, at least until some one gets the spelling and pronunciation down pat and digs up a definition of the overlapping term. Years ago medical term of not less than five syllalbes would serve satisfactorily for decades, but today we have to revise 'em every few years--we have to do so, or else a lot of prying laymen will begin to think they know as much as we must make 'em think we know.
 Ductless gland extracts-l889. h. ternal secretions-19l0. Hormones -l925. ndocrines-today. All same medicine.
 Just among ourselves-us doctors mean-the situation is candidly described by one of us addressing a scientific medical society recently:
 During the past decade the branch of medicine in which the largest amount of research has been conducted and in which the greatest advances have been made is endocrinOlogy. Indeed so rapidly are new facts being recorded in this field that it is very difficult to keep ones knowledge up to date even from one month to the next. And so intricate are the apparent inter- relationships of the endoctrine glands, and so varied the supposed reactions of one upon the other that the whole subject is at present extremely complex.
 Complex? Well. anyway. haywirc
 The amazing amount of research being done on ductless glands and their extracts or derivatives is inc deed intricate. One reason for the confusion and skepticism this con- stantly increasing knowledge has brought about in the mind Of the busy practitioner becomes apparent when the conception we had of thi pituitary gland some thirty years ago Is compared with present knowledge of physiology of that master regulator of bodily finc- tons" Formerly we believed the pituitary had one internal secretion or h0Finone. Nov we know it haf several. each serving a specific pur- pose, as follows:

 At any other time the ride and the spring clothed passengers would have absorbed this flfteen-year-olds attention. But today the yellow and pink shrubs and the gay new hats could not compete with the stag gering visions of her minds eye.
 The Shopping List Expands
 Each block developed possibilities. Tn magnificent array paraded the store counters. That compact she had coveted the smart cuffed gloves like Patsy's, the rufTled vestee at Moley's-only 8 dollar-that mother had thought to fussy for school wear. Perfume, bracelets and
 She began to add, then slowly froWn grew. After all, five dol lars wasn't so much. Goodness, when you got it, it looked like a million. How money could shrink when you began to add! Besides, 1t wasn't five dollars it was only three fifty when you subtracted that dol lar and a half for Mother. Wasn't that fair enough? Idly she wonder ed what Mother would like.
 Well, Mother wouldn't really care. Besides, she would appre- ciate a dollars worth as much as a dollar r-and-a-half's worth. There wasn't much difference.
 Her list simmered down with a struggle. Let's see, that would only leave fifty cents. What could you get for fifty cents that a lady might like? Maybe an armful of lilacs. No. that wouldn't do. Mother had been buying them at the market. But maybe she could find something at the shop to make a big showing for fifty cents.
 Sally's Saving Grace
 Once in the stores, Sally had an orgy of looking, comparing and se- lecting. The stockings - those very sheer oneS-cost more than she thought. Things anyways were more She was aghast when she saw quarter and a dime in her purse. The dime would have to take her home. What now could she get with the quarter? Oh, if she had only bought Mother something nice firstl Something very, very nice. One of those folding umbrellas, for in- stance. Her own possessions sudden ly looked so mean.
 She called up her father and honestly told her story. T feel so terrible she confessed miserably. "I kind of lost my head"
 And he said. Sally. I'm glad it happened this way. I rather thought it would. If you had given your mos ther one-tenth Of what you got for yourself, I-well you wouldn't have been my girl So. come around and we'll go out together and see what VIC can see"

 "The easiest way for woman to correct bad neck posture and Q | hollow-chested condition is to bale ance a book on her head for ten minutes every day." an exercise ex. pert advises me. ITO get the most benefit out of this simple posture exercise, she ought to remove her shoes and stockings, place the book on her head, then walk slowly around a room.
 "There really is nothing com plicated about the idea. If she is holding her head correctly, the book will stay in place. The I11in- ute she thrustS her chin forward or slumps, allowing her chest to cave in, the book will fall"
 Remember, of course, that beau- tiful carriage is largely . matter of habit. Once you get used to the idea of standing with weight on the balls of your feet, stomach pulled in, backbone straight and head erect, you'll wonder how you ever managed to be comfortable in the days when you stopped, slumped and balanced yourself on your heels.
 Never sit with shoulders flat against the back of 8 chair. The lower end of our spinal column and the center of it-not your shoulders should touch.
 When you walk, imagine. that the crown of your head-not the front of it--is being pulled up- ward toward the sky. Don't let your body settle down heavily and clumsily on your hip bones.
 Always do at least one posture exercise Q day. Here is an old favorite that straightens out the backbone:
 Lie flat on the floor with arms at your sides and knees bent so weight of the legs is on balls of the feet. Pull your stomach in and elevate your chest. Now, without moving shoulders, make every vertebra of your spinal column, except the last four at the base, touch the floor. Turn these last four upward.
 There should be no space be- tween the floor and the middle of your back. Hold the position for twenty seconds. Relax and repeat. When you get up, try to stand as you were lying. The center of the backbone must be

 There are two soft spots in the baby's skull at the time of birth. The small one in the back of the head usually is hardened by growth of bone at the end of the third month.
 The large one in the front of the head usually is closed at the end of IS months. There are rec ords of well nourished babies however in whom the large soft spot in the front of the head has disappeared at the end of the twelfth month.
