Paul MUM, in "The Story of
Louis PaSteur," is the attraction
at the Little Theater this week.
Therefore, little need be said
about the attraction at the Lit
tie Theater this week. Mr.. MUM,
of course, received his first
statuette from the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sci
ences for his limning Of the
French chemist whose devotion
to his theories succeeded in the
end in revolutlonizing medical
practice.
The life of Pasteur provides a
thorough test OF the acting tai
ent. and, as brought to the
screen by Paul MUM, furnishes
a memorable session of the
more serious in celluloid enter
tainment. The footage is replete
with poignant scenes-the ini-
tial caStigation by the emperor
and exile from Paris; the bet
with DR.. Charbonnet, leader of
the villifiers, as to the efficacy
of the incubation of sheep,
which was won by Pasteur; the
bet. with their regulations at
stake, made when PaSteur's
daughter was about to have a
child, that the principle of ster-
ilization would save the lives Of
mother and infant. Mr.. MUM
has endowed these with COM
plete effectiveness.
The manner in which one
character dominates the picture
could do naught but result in
his delineator dominating the
cast, but, although Mum is that
player, the capable supporting
cast merits an appreciable
share of the honorS. There is
Josephine Hutchinson in a SYM
pathetic treatment of Nine.

There they found President

Ringing applause followed his

It am delighted to tell you

they filed up to the desk, each
visitor introduced with a word
from Carter Barron and each
guest received not merely a
handshake but a personal greet

In my excitement I managed
to humble something about
every indication that the 1888
celebration in Washington
would probably surpass the

what I hear from all over the

sorts of shelters. If you try to dis
lodge the snail from his winter
anchorage you break the shell.
When the cool, dry weather has
passed and the warm rains of spring
descend, the snail's glue dissolves
and the occupant of the shell be-
stirs himself to assume an active
life among the beautiful flowers and
leaves of his tree abode.
Tree snail shells are about 2
inches long. They are so brightly
colored and have such individual
markings that you will never cease
to be delighted in adding to your
collection of them. There are some
that are exceedingly rare and you
may either sell or exchange with
another collector. Exploring the
Everglades for snails is an exciting

you will always enjoy. no matter

limbs, the poisonwoods, the lovely
red ironwoods, the lignum and the
mastics. The areas these unusual
snails have selected for colonization
are small. There is a thick and al
most impenetrable underground; you
feel rather creepy as you plough
through it. Overhead the long fes-
toons of Spanish moss sway with
every breeze, the limbs of the trees
are decorated with air plants and
orchids in bloom. But you are well
acquainted with these wonderful
plants and are seeking only snails.
Then you come upon them.
You are thrilled with the exquisite
beauty of the highly polished shells
and you dare not move for fear you
will disturb these creatures. Each
species, and there are about IL of
them that have been described in

color and design that you soon learn

The snail, as you know, has no
aggressive attitudes. Rather 1t is
a mild creature, going about it's af-

AS you look at the foliage of the
tree upon which the snails Craze,
you become accustomed to seeing
what at first appears to be a bright
flower actually move. If you inter-
rupt the snail, its eyes, situated on
the tips of long tentacles, are folded
back. Here they remain until the
snail has regained its confidence and
decides that all danger is past. Then
it resumes the interrupted walk or
feast.
When the snail finds it is time to
think about the future generation.
a trip is made down the tree trunk
to secret place under the leaf
mold. Eight months later, tiny
snails will be seen climbing eau
tiously up the tree trunk. The snail
will reside on the tree for nine years,
barring accident or too crowded con-
ditions, and then it will amble to
another tree.
During the very cool weather, the
snails close their doors with a strong
gummy secretion that hardens in
the air and secures the shell to the
tree. This is the time you will find

Now Americans develop new,
better Ephedrine prescription

With the discovery of the Chinese
drug Ephedrine, science took a great
step forward in its fight against head
colds! When you have a head-cold,
the membranes of your nose become
swollen, thus interfering with normal
breathing. Ephedrine has the remark
able power to shrink almost instantly
these swollen, irritated membranes
thus tending to clear the nasal passa-
ges, make normal breathing easier.
Now comes new and important
development in the use of this mar
velous drug! The makers of REM for
Coughs have perfected a remarkable
Ephedrine prescription for use in re-
ieving head-colds. 1t is called REL.
REL combines a special form of
Ephedrine with another valuable in
gredient. In step with advanced med
ical opinion, REL is water soluble"
-. not an oil so it mixes instantly
with the watery secretions of the nose.
That's why REL is absorbed so quick
ly... works so fast. 1t actually starts
