Praha Government Hit.
A stif1ening of the Sudeten's stand
in the face Of these concessions led
to outspoken suspicious in some quar-
ters here that the Sudetens might be
preparing detiantly to set up their
own state within state on the
grounds that Praha was no longer
able to preserve order"
British ministers were said to be
deeply worried over the possibility
that any attempt by Praha to put
down such a movement might result
in a Sudeten call to Hitler for armed
help.
Few doubted that this would be
forthcoming quickly unless Hitler were
convinced it would bring concerted
military action by Britain, France
and Russia.

 There is no wife more suspicious of her husband than the second wife who knows from actual ex- perience that he wasn't true to the first.
 There is no father more strict with a dating son or daughter than the one who soWed a fine crop Of wild oats himself.
 There is no husband with less confidence in the faithfulness of his wife than the man who has played around with married women himself and knows that husbands are sometimes fooled.
 There is no one who resents a triangle more than the person who was once responsible for one.

 The film is by far the greatest human drama of the decade, in fact it might be said that 1t will be one of the outstanding candidates for the Academy award in 1888. It tells stirring story that will tug at the heartstrings of every woman and man who has home and children.

WOMAN'S REALM
Gloriying Yourself
By Alicia Hart

All the beauty advice to travellers and summer vacationists notwith- standing, the business of looking her best every hour of the day is a much bigger problem for the girl who spends the summer in town than for one who doesn't.
 The vacationist may have to wor- " about what too much sun does to her skin, the effects of salt wa ter on her hair or the callouses that canoe paddles, tennis rackets and golf clubs make on her hands. But, for her, the simple business of staying and looking just plain isn't overwhelmingly difficult For the city woman, 1t is.
 Also, there's the matter of get ting enough sleep. Anyone who has been out in the sun part of the day and has had little exercise in the bargain, isn't likely to be troubled with insomnia. But lack of sunshine and exercise plus the fact that her room is pretty hot and stuffy, just aren't conducive to rest full sleep.
 The city girls problems, then, are: how to keep clean and how to get enough sleep. She should tackle both quite seriously. They are not unsolvable.
 First of all, if you have to spend the summer in town, it's mistake to try to get by with less than three baths Cor showers) a day-one in the morning, one before dinner and another just before going to bed. If cooling cologne is patted on after each bath and a non-per- spirant used several times a week the feeling of freshness you have immediately after a bath will be more likely to be retained until time for the next one.
 Also, don't overlook the import ance of cleaning face and throat frequently during the day. Use a cool, clear cleansing lotion or soap and water, followed by creamy | lotion. Never, never put a layer of fresh powder and rouge on over | stale makeup
 I Furthermore, you'll look and feel cooler and happier if you
 Have shampoo every six days instead of every seven. eff your | home rather than in an office, you might go to the beauty shop early in the morning, have your hair washed and set, then let it dry while you are doing the morning $ work. This plan eliminates the slow torture of sitting under a drier in hot weather)
 Wear a coiffure which is off the face and off the neck. (See your hairdresser about this. And tel him you want your hair not only brushed up, but ANCHORED up.)
 Supplement the dark sheers ir your wardrobe with at least two cotton or silk frocks that can bt washed and ironed quickly. Anc buy white gloves that are as eas, to wash as silk stockings.
 Work out plan for livint whereby you seldom have to hur. ry. Do only what is necessary dur. ing the next two months, and budg. ct your hours carefully to allow time to get "the necessarys" done with as little confusion as possible If this means getting up an houl earlier in the morning, do 1t. YouI be amply repaid.

POL!'S

Melvyn Douglas, who has recently climbed to new screen heights with his delft comedy portrayals adds laurels to his career as a modern rare book sleuth in Fast Com pany," which opens Wednesday at the Loew Poli theater for an en- gagement of three days.
 Florence Rice, the feminine lead is given a complete personality charge with the aid of special ma ture hair dress and makeup as a distinct contrast to the ingenues of recent pictures. She plays the ultra modern wife of Douglas who be- lieves that domestic and business life can be combined.
 The plot presents a novelty back ground for a fast-moving blend of romance, mystery, drama and thrills. An inside revelation of the little known traffic in stolen rare books provides a diverting series of incl dents leading to murder and the breaking up of the international racket.
 Miss Rice and Douglas share the adventures of the picture with a de- lightful tongue in cheek spirit that defies the villainous attempts of the book gang to stop their efforts to solve the mystery.
 Claire Dodd provides blonde al- lure in the role of an inside mem- Der of the book gang, who finds that romance is more dangerous than a knowledge of gang secrets. Her revelation to Melvyn Douglas, who maSquerades as rowing swain with the knowledge of his wife, finally breaks up the book racket.
 Also featured in the cast are Louis Calhern, Nat Pendleton and Douglas Dumbrille.
 On the same program is another big hit, "The Girl Was Young" featuring the grown-up child star, Nova Pilbeam, with Derric De Marney.
 Current attractions at Loew's Poli include Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart in 'The ShopWorn Angel" and Charles Bickford in ''The Gangs of New York" with Ann Dvorak and Wynne Gibson.

YOUR WIFE AND GRAND
 FATHERS

Twenty-seven per cent of Ameri- can school children have been found to be subnormal in physical develop ment growth or health, and of these over half were found to be malnourished. Right here we must remind the casual reader that "mal- nourished" or "malnutrition" does not imply that the individual is starved or does not get enough to eat. It implies only that the food is not adequate in all respects. A child may have plenty of sugar and spice and everything nice. including milk and spinach, yet not thrive or grow or have as much vite as he or she should have, because the child does not get enough vitamin B and enough vitamin D every day.
 Dr. Barnett Sure, who tabulated the figures quoted, estimates that 30 per cent of the entire population of the country is below par from the standpoint of nutrition. Just as many of the well-to-do and pre- sumably well-fed fall within this class as of the poor and underfed
 Physicians have known for years that infants of the rich are as likely to present manifestations of rickets or scurvy from insufficient intake of Vitamin D or vitamin c respec- lively as are infants of te poor. Ignorance in this country bears little or no relation to wealth. Where a fair opportunity to con- pare groups occurs, the chances are that the poorer group will show more knowledge than the richer group.
 A hundred years ago the annual per capita consumption of sugar in this country was approximately nine pounds. Today every man, woman and child in the country consumes an average of a hundred pounds year or more.
 The old-time sugar was crude brown sugar still containing some of the vitamin B and some of the minerals from the sugar cane or molasses. The refined white sugar today contains no vitamin and no matter.
 Every pound of sugar yields 1880 calories. Your two pounds this week will suffice to give you all the en- ergy you need for lying abed for two days. Or it will provide all the energy you need to do light work for 8 day.
 The refinement of sugar Is only an index of the way in which our modern diet Is robbed of the vita mins and minerals our grandfathers received in the natural foods that composed the greater part of their diet.
 The modern refinement of flour is a more important factor, for 1t removes not only the calcium and phosphorus but practically all of the vitamins of which wheat is the richest natural food source. When we remember how great portion of the calories in our daily food comes from refined cereal products 1t begins to be evident why more than 30 per cent of the population of the country Is below par physi- cally, in growth, vigor, develop mcnt, health, vite.
 Our grandfathers. too. lived more in the open than we do. They worked out of doors and so absorbed more ultraviolet in the sunlight and so produced more vitamin o. To- day millions of young and middle aged (we hope not children any more) work in factories, mines and | offices, and seldom have chance to | expose themselves to direct sum- shine.

Said he, gently, T am not going to punish you, Albert, but I want you to listen. It was no. honorable to take Roy's cake, and you deserved few stern words. But do you think it still more honorable to hide and sulk and nurse your feelings against your mother for some wrong you started yourself?"

 I would not overwork the word. Keep 1t for the right time and place. Once 1t has too familiar q sound, 1t becomes merely an echo and won't register. But honor cannot be taught by words alone anyway, but rather by the child's observance of honorable people.
