This was thrilling news.

/ Illo Ncto iiSWo'
In the long mirror behind the bar
Ann saw her own reflection, and re-
joiced at the same. Never had she
looked more bewitching. She was far
from being conceited, but there was no
gainsaying the fact that beauty, dain-
tily attired, was a most potent weap-
on in attraction fascination :.
love!
Was she in love with him?
Captain de Freyn strolled languid-
ly up, like an elongated beetle in his
dress clothes. $50 the little working
girl steps out, eh, what? hear you're
slogging night and day. Most praise
worthy, of course! But frightfully
fatiguing!" He smiled condescending-
ly.
Ann saw red. She loathed Captain
de Freyn. She looked him straight
between his near-set eyes, and said
meaningly: "Anyhow it's an honorable
way to make living"
"Granted." He shrugged. The
grin slid from his face. ''But pre-
sumably bit hard on the feet and the
temper" With that he turned to
Rosalind. Well worth his while she
was! Heiress to millions, and a
wretched bridge-player!
Thinking of Claire-Claire's bad
luck lately-Ann's face dimmed.
Seldom recently had Captain de
Freyn partnered her Was it be-
cause of unfavorable gossip that had
linked them?, gossip she had been
afraid might break into an open scan
day? Was it because he had found
a more stable partner? Or-was it
Rosalind?
He was chasing Rosalind?
In the past six weeks, Ann had loan
ed varying sums out of her weekly
pay check, to Claire. Contract was
food and drink and dope to her eldest
sister. Why, when they weren't fin
gering cards, her hands were twitch-
actually twitching for the feel
of them! 1t was horrible.
But what could one do about it?
And wasn't Captain de Freyn in
large measure responsible?
Gordon Gavin was at the party at
II Rocco, but no longer did he gravi-
tate to Ann.
She had made him realize that it
was ueless. That she could never re-
ciprocate his feeling. He had turned
for consolation to Renita. Or, more
accurately, permitted Renita to con-
sole him. Renita was wonderful at
applying balm on wounded feelings.
And her looks had come back to her
hundredfold since she had stopped
drinking. Slim, vibrant, white-skin-
ned, the money that had previously
gone on gin and Scotch and antidotes
was now spent on pretty dresses, or
trailing chiffon tea-gowns she pur-
chased with employees discount)
from Ann.
Renita was compelling eye-full
on such evenings as she entertained
him, cooked delightful dinner for him
in her apartment. No bungalow a
prons for the red-haired comforter
of men!

Film Portraying Ravages Of
Marihuana Weed to Show
Sunday and Monday.

DAYTON The Assassin oil
Nouth' il a picture that poftrays
the ravages of the Marihuana weed
1t is d type Of picture that is en-
tirely different and new. 1t deals
with the deadly drug as it is being
used by the modern youth of today
The picture WAS screened in vari-
Gus states and has the endorsement
OF the Women's club and numerous
educational bodies, and it is a pic
ture that teaches vital lesson ane
should be seen by everyone.
Leo j. Mccarthy, the producer
started to make this picture with thu
thought in mind that it would por-
tray merely the ravages Of the Mar
huana weed, but after getting into
the studying, looking up, and finding
articles on the obnoxious drug, nc
became so enthusiastic, instead OF
making just another picture, he de-
cided to produce it with q definite
lesson in mind.
Without doubt it is something
entirely new and different in the en-
tertainment field. The cast is made
up Of some Of the younger movie
folks Of Hollywood and they have
done very splendid job in bringing
out this picture.

Challenger Forces Fight.
From the starting bell Little
Henry took up his usual pattern OF
warfare and carried the fight to the
elusive Ambers in manner which
kept him on the long end Of the
score. Although one thin round was
the margin which gave victory to
the challenger he put Anbers on
the canvas twice in the earlier
rounds and in the 1dth drove q
right to the chin Of the lightweight
champ which sent him reeling
across the ring, but was still on his
i feet.
Judge Marty Monroe gave the
decision to Ambers. eight rounds to
seven; Judge George Lecorn gave
Armstrong eight rounds, Ambers SIX
and called one even That left it
up to Refree Bill Cavanaugh who
gave Armstrong seven, Ambefs six

So saany of us have the idea that,
If q little sun is good for our health
and Vitality. d great deaI will be
even more beneficial This is. OF
course, a mistaken notion as you
are bound to learn from painful ex-
nerience.
Now that the swimming season
liz here and mai1y of us spend all the
time we can spare at the beaches,
we must take definite precautions
against sunburn. Sunburn Is Il very
real burn and. Just as we would
not nut our hands against hot
stove, neither should we expose
tender skin 10 the sun for more than
a few minutes AT a time until we
have become accustomed 10 its rays.
Spread d protective cream over
the skin before exposing Ii to old
Sol for any length Of time Even
better, II you don't mind the shine,
use olive oil. Cover your face, arms,
shoulders, back and legs. If you
stay ou long enough for that to dry,
repeat the application. Summer sun
is very harmful to tho skin. Ii dries
out the natural oils and leaves 1t
rough aud peeling. You've seen peo-
pie who have acquired u weather
beaten, leaihery, look from too much
exposure to theasun. Once the mt.
ural oils are gone, the skin starts
wrinkling. Dry skin wrinkles more
readily than oily skin, even when
not exposed To the suns drying eff
fects. In summer we Inusi take spe-
cial pains to ward off lines and
crows feet even though the appli-
cation of creams and oils is more a
trial In summer than during the
cooler months. Then. too, we are
likely to have deeper squint lines
from the glare of the sun, especially
the glare Of sun on water.

COVINGTON, Ky.-Mrs. Ethel
Wayne aud Mrs. Lampkin of Gov
ington, KY, sponsors Of the Snow
and Ice Services Of that city, have
just received reply from their
invitation to the Governor of Ken
tucky to appear on August 20 (the
date Of the service) expressing 9
desire to be present on that ocea-
sion.
The affair promises 70 reach even
greater proportions than expected
due to the fact that more than half
the house is already sold.

sent to the person selling the larg-
est number Of tickets certificate OF
honor and cash award covering all

And while we are on the subject
of glare, the eyes too can be sun
burned" Protect them with the
dark .colored glasses which are so
much In vogue this year. If you
don't, you will find yourself frown-
ing at your companions with tired
blood-shot eyes at the end of the
day.
But suppose the burn gets you af-
ter all. You have one of the best
remedies right In your own home.
Vinegar Is an excellent antidote for
snnburn. Spread ii on gently over
the burned surface. You can feel
Its cooling effect as you apply 1t.
Use II as soon as you come out OF
the sun II you fear you have heen
oyer-cxposed.
Continued exposure to the sun,
even though you are careful not to
get badly burned, Will darken the
color Of the skin. The surest ana
quickest remedy for this Is bleach-
I ing A good bleach, used regularly
over a period Of time. will have a
noticeable effect. Bleaches, how
ever, are likely to have a drying
effect, 50 follow them up with an ap-
plicnlion of cream. Yon can't avoid
oils and creams In the summer, so
lay In a supply and be on the safe
side.
