JOE TAKES THE RAP
This year he did strange things
to Joe E. Brown. The yoWling
comedian holds the top box Of
flee record at the Earle Theater.
He annexed it with Fireman Save
My Child" not his greatest pic
ture, but Joe E. made a personal
appearance to help it out. Polo
joe" his last picture under his
Warner Brothers contract, playing
this week, hung up new "loW"
for the Earle, or will. So Joe E.
has the gold medal and the BOBBY
prize, something for other stars
to shoot at.
Managers need no alibi for poor
week before Christmas business.
The Actors Equity Association has
recognized a seven-day depression
by permitting companies to Sus-
pend temporarily without paying
actors. Those that brave the
slump are permitted to operate on
. cut-salary basis.
However, tomorrow is coming
and it permits us all to get into
the real holiday spirit. After the
presents have been opened-and
those marked for eXchange-after
the Christmas toys have been
broken or at least got out of order,
families turn again to the movies
for entertainment and to the foot
light menu.
Between you and I this has
been the worst week before
Christmas business in six years
You can twist it around and dis
cover that the reason for it is
that happy days are here again,
folks have money, are spreading
it around in the stores, will get
around to giving some to the
movies after the holiday spend
ing spree is over.
Look over the new programs
and you will find that the first
run washington theaterS are
shooting with their best pro
grams. Pick any one and you
can't lose.

 Submarines are most effective on defense since they have no great cruising range, but England learned during the World War they had plenty of force in at tack, and particularly against shipping.
 Privately, many naval men say none of the three powers could whip another on the others home grounds and at the same time pro- tect. its home shores.
 But then when, or if, the next war comes, nobody expects just one nation to fight just one other nation.

DEAR MRS. POST: Recently q
neighbor called for the first time
at my house in our absence and left
only her own visiting card under the
door. I am wondering under the cir
cumstances how many cards I should
leave at the time I return this visit.
Our family consists of my husband
and two grown daughters living at
home, and myself.
Answer-Leave your daughters as
we'll as your own. But not your hus-
bands (unless he goes with you)
because 1t might seem that you were
showing her" that she should have
left her husbands card on you! Do
you see?

Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t considered
necessary to introduce the friends
who are more than likely to come in
to see me when I'm in the hospital

included in all our conversations?
Answer-If she is standing by your
bed, yes. If she is in another part OF
the room, she perhaps half bows tc
them as any one would who ushers
some one to place, and then leaves
the room. (2 No. She leaves you
alone with your visitor unless you de-
liberately include her.

2sfaction in returning to an old home.
When you are away 1t is a mighty
good feeling to know that you have a
home to return to. These people that
build new home every season don't
know the real meaning of the word
home"
So the Redtails didn't hurry about
moving back North. They took their
time, hunting as they moved along.
At last they were in sight of the
Green Meadows and the Green Forest.
The trees, save those that wear their
leaves all Winter, were still bare, but
there was no longer ice, and only in
sheltered places in the Green For
est did any snow remain. 1t was good
to be getting back Redtail whistled
joyously as he swung in great cir
cles above the Green Meadows. Mrs
Redtail did the same thing

bers of the Hawk family are very
wonderful eyes. They can see for

high up in the air Redtail and Mrs.
Redtail could see the place where
their old home was long before they
were anywhere near it. Suddenly
Redtail swung sharply over near Mrs.
Redtail do you see what I see?"
he asked.
IT see that something has happened
TO Our home" replied Mrs. Redtail
excitedly.
There seems to be only part of it
remaining" said RedtaiI.
Thereupon the Redtails wasted no
more time in circling. They made
straight for their old nesting place.
The nearer they drew to it the clearer
1t became that something had hap
pened to it. When at last they ar
rived and alighted in the very tree
that held what remained of the nest
they looked at each other in dismay.
It had needed no more than glance
to determine that their cid home was
ruined beyond repair.
Its a wreck" said Mrs. Redtail,
shaking her head sadly. TITS a COM
plete wreck. Half of it Is on the
ground"
Perhaps" replied Redtail hope
fully, I'VE can use the other half in
rebuilding"
Mrs. Redtail shook her head most
decidedly. Nothing doing" said she.
'Can't you see for yourself what the
trouble Is? We can't rebuild there
on account of that broken branch.
There is no support for that side of
the nest. There's nothing for it but
to build a new nest. No, sir, there's
nothing for it but to build a new
nest. The question Is, where shall
we build?"
1--WE always liked this neighbor-
hood" replied Redtail why not
build in another tree right here?"

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLs
Heredity.

Heredlty.
I TITLE by little it is becoming
known that heredity amounts to
less and less. One Of the big mistakes
in our educational system is the belief
that you can't make q silk purse out
Of sow's ear" This old adage should
be forgotten. In fact. 1t doesn't quail
ify as an adage.
The theory of heredity is advanced
as sort of sanction. A sanction for
the right to pretend and actually be
nothing. When a person by reason
of inherited wealth or fame imagines
that his wealth is due him simply
because of blood and bone. the whole
theory of heredity is abused Some
thing is expected to well up out OF
nothing.
AS a matter Of opinion, heredity is
something to conjure with. 1t has
been and probably will continue to
be something nothing Of vast impor-
tance. AS q matter of fact, heredity
has little to do with ones actual
worth.
The theory Of heredity has much
to do with the body; little to do with
the mind except as to the number Of
brain cells one has.

Abate.

A ND Moses was 100 years old when
he died: His eye was not dim,

In this passage from Deuteronomy,
"abated" Is found In its ordinary sense
Of iessened. This, however, is a log
ical development of the words intrin-

Abate is rooted in the low Latin
"abatere," to beat down, to demolish.
One of its earliest extensions, there
fore, was in the significance Of, first,
to put an end to and subsequently,
as in connection with a mans
strength, to reduce, slacken or ebb.
