right on doing it herself year after year-and telling her husband that no one else can do it as well, when he urges her to hire maid so that she can take life easy and en- joy herself.
 This martyr" joy that women find in making small tasks difficult and small worries big ones probably accounts in great measure for the fact that most women get old more quickly than men.
 For men have the happy facul- ty of shifting everything they can to someone else's shoulders. It makes them good executives-and 1t keeps them young.
 Nothing makes woman madder than to have a man tell her how her house could be ln more easily But she might do well to listen For good executive could tell all most any housewife ways in which she could have her own strength and temper. And a good executive could convince her that if you have the money, you can always hire someone to do routine work as well or better, than you can do 1t your. self. A business man doesn't typt his own letters-unless he has to- and no woman ought to scrub floors unless she has to.
 Whatever she saves of herself ir stupid, dull work-she can give tt her family in whole-nearted joy ol living.

M The Local Theaters
POLES

Mark Twain's "The Adventure of Tom Sawyer" has been brought to the screen again, translated with charm and understanding for both adult and juvenile audiences. And the new version, now showing at LoeW's Poli has the added distinc- ton of having been filmed in tech nicolor that not only makes more eff fective the settings Of the story but also makes visible the freckles on Becky Thatcher's pert little nose.
 Outstanding in the picture, nat urally enough, are the child actors. Of course there is Tommy Kelly picked from about 25,000 young hopefuls who were considered for the part, and the delightful young child Ann Gillis.
 The film, four star picture, pro- duced by David Selznick, who gave you David Copperfield, is regarded as one that win leave everlasting memories.
 The famous episodes of the book are filmed intact with all the thrill ing dramatic passages of the script combined into this one great picture.
 In general, however, the film is 8 hearty and wholesome catalog of kid pranks done with considerable charm, sentiment and fun.
 To complete our program we have "No Time to Marry" with Richard Arlen and Mary Astor, a comedy of riotouS fun.

PHYSIOLOGY FOR MIR. AND MRS. WISEACRE
 Listen, both of you. It is better not to know so much than to know so many things that ain't so. A per- son may enjoy perfect health or vite, for instance, although he knows nothing about the function of the colon. On the other hand, if per- son knows many things about the colon that "ain't so" he or she is more likely to suffer with colon de- rangement, 8 state to which the Wiseacres of America are too fond of applying the misleading name mucous colitis."
 Mucus (the noun) Is the normal secretion of mucous (adjective) membranes. Mucous membranes line every cavity or organ that communi- cates with the outside world. The mucus serves to protect the mucous membrane against injury or irrita- tion by foreign bodies; it keeps the mucous membrane soft and moist; it entangles bacteria and destroys them; it is an ideal natural lubricant. All this applies to the secretion of nor nal mucous membranes in any part of the body-eye, nose, throat, bron- chial passages, mouth, stomach, in- testine.

Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" set new high, in record attendance at Warner Brothers State theater during the first two days of its local engage ment.
 Thousands of movie fans were delighted with this miracle film which has taken the nation by storm. In fact they thought the picture was so good that many of them have decided to see 1t for the second time. There's no doubt about 1t, this full length animated film, in Technicolor, is "must-see" if there ever was one. Plan to see it over the week end.
 Delightful comedy touches have free play in the many scenes in which the seven dwarfs make their appearance.
 Doc. Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, Bashful. Happy and Sleepy are rated to be among the funniest characters ever to come out of Hol- lywood.
 Among the side-splitting scenes IS one III Wnlcn they come nome LO their woodland cottage after days work in their jewel mines, only to discover that Something" is in their house. Their plans of discov- ering and killing the monster" are giddy and involved, with all their preparations going for naught when they discover that the ferocious thing is none other than the beau- tiful little Princess Snow White.
 Her subsequent efforts to teach them table manners and to get them to wash especially behind the ears and under the boards" are among the pictures highlights.
 Following these scenes is a color- full entertainment sequence where in the dwarfs and Snow White sing and dance, the dwarfs furnishing the music on an organ of their own making-the like of which has un- doubtedly never been seen before and never will again.
 The film is version of the famous Grimms fairy tale, known in al- most every land the world over.

Along about this time of veal smart women begin to look around for lightly scented colognes anc toilet waters to substitute for winter perfumery.
 Opportune enough, and right in line with current fashion re- vivals, is the reappearance of g cologne which the manufacturer says was a great favorite of the Empress Josephine. Refreshing cooling and delicately fragrant Madame Bonaparte's cologne is reminiscent of her gardens al Malmaison.
 Compared to Josephine's time 1t is interesting to realize how much less involved the beauty routines of today are. In those days there were no minute makeups." Dependable beauty prep arations were in their infancy. Even the simple ritual of scented bath required hours of preparation.
 In Sergeant's biography of Jo- sephine, her morning toilette is described as follows:
 "At nine o'clock she rose and commenced toilette in her dressing room which never took less than three hours, 1t was said. Everything in connection with washing, hair-dressing and make up was of the utmost elaborate description. Powder, she used in such profusion that it was wont to fall over her clothes. Rouge she put on all over her cheeks; her bills for this in 1908 amounted to more than $500 francs.
 "She had this much excuse for her artificial complexion, that, while she had naturally brown skin, she came to Paris at a time when every one of position powdered; and paint, as is well known, was pleasing to Napoleon who once remarked to 8 lady of his court, Go and put some rouge on, Madame, you look like a corpsep In another detail, too, she was guided by him. He liked no scents except eau de cologne, orange flower and lavender waters, and Jo- sephine refrained from employing any others"
