It may be said that playing as
Cox played yesterday he is going

Shawnee. WHY'S performance
was the more remarkable because
of the limited amount of time he
has had for practice.
It was a case Of putting with
him, and his blade dropped the
ball anywhere within SO feet of
the pin. He p1unked one 30,footer
into the cup after missing an iron
to the green, and by sinking the
shot got his par.
Not only did Cox play a whale
of a game, but Andy Gibson, the
burning Scotchman from Balti-

off the tee, and his second shots
hit the green with machine-like

demanded that he be permitted

State or Provincial governments to assume all the cost of producing vaccine, antitoxin, Pasteur virus, toxin-antitoxin or toxoid and all the cost of protecting citizens with these agents. In this country we prefer to go at 1t in some complicated, furtive indirect way, which will give petty politicians opportunity for bit of legitimate graft and a chance to vent their spite on few citizens who happen to resent assault or perhaps people who do not believe in such practices. We put one law or ordinance on the books which makes 1t obligatory to send children to school; and another which en- ables the petty boss of the district to exclude children from school un- less they are vaccinated. This is a fayorite pastime of crooked politi- clare in America-medical and lay
 No intelligent medical man can get around the fundamental fact that, if vaccination affords the pro- lection we believe it does, no one who is vaccinated has anything to fear from one who is not yaccinated, in any circumstances. Therefore people who believe in vaccination have no ground for imposing their belief upon people who for any req son do not wish to be vaccinated.

Household Hints
.BEAUTY- GIorifying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA service Staff Writer

The old saying about an ounce of prevention being worth pound of cure is particularly true of sub jects pertaining to beauty - the lasting variety which doesn't fade all too quickly with the years.
 One who is detmerined to get no more than her share Of fine lines and wrinkles and to keep her figure slender and youthful, doesn't wait 10 think about her appearance until 1t really isn't worth thinking about. She knows that it's easier to stay slender than to get slender and far simpler to ward off wrinkles than 10 eliminate them.
 For instance, if you are deter mined to weigh no more at 40 than you did at 30, by all means invest in accurate bathroom scales. And get on them once week. The day you notice that you weigh pound or more than you did, take imme- diate steps to lose that pound. It's no trouble at all to lose one, but certainly no easy matter to lose five.
 This very night, begin brushing your hair for several minutes before you go to bed. Continue to do 1t every single night and you won't have to worry about excessive oiliness or dandruff or an abnormal ly dry condition.
 After she is twenty-and particu- larly if she lives in dry climate every girl ought to use some kind of rich cream every night. That is, of course, unless her skin is very oily, in which case a mildly aStrin- gent tonic or special cream for oily skin would be in order.
 Incidentally, it's great mistake for any girl to give up exercise as soon as she finishes school and be- gins to work in an office or gets married and has a home of her own. She ought to plan to take long, brisk walk every day and, in addi- ton, keep on with enc sport and do limbering and stretching routines regularly.

that the girl works her father. She tries her best to make Trudy help with ordinary duties, but the enid has way of appealing to her champion and easing out of things. It worries her mother because she sees Trudy getting more selfish, an- sWering her back, and not even try ing to take care of the pretty dresses her mother makes.
 Now I think this cleft in families is so common that there is no use saying it is all wrong, any more than saying that people should choose certain friends. There is that certain something that ties in- dividual natures together wherever there are people, and 50 it happens in parent-child relationships.
 Do Not Take Sides
 But 1t is decidely safest for both mothers and fathers to acknowledge to themselves that they are partisan in their feelings, and then to struggle hard to be fair. There is no need to wear one's heart on ones sleeves and no need to Haunt pre- ference.
 It isn't really good for children to know that they mean more or less to either parent. They measure their behavior by it when they do know. And, of course, there is always 8 secret hurt.
 MT. Smith should make every effort to be friend to his son If he expects his boy to listen to him some day. And in the meatinme Bert's mother should encourage this tie. taking the fathers side frequently.
 Trudy's situation is much the same. MT. Smith should not excuse her. or place her mother in diff cult position.
 Both parents should open their minds and hearts to the other child. They will be repaid by having peace in the family less pickering and jealously between the children And that inevitable some day" will pay returns.

Audiences attending the health fully conditioned Warner Bros. Stats theatcr yesterday enjoyed an hou2 and a half of continual laugh ter while viewing Boy Meets Girl" Warner Bros screen version of the successful stage play Of the same name.
 The film marks the reuniting of Jimmy Cagney and Pat OBrien, the ripper upper" and "tearer down. CT" boys, who are seen together for the first time since they made Ceiling Zero" With these two stars heading the impressive cast as two wacky playwrights, the film speeds along from the opening scene through laugh after laugh to roar after roar.
 For those who did not see the play, it will become at once a not to-be-miaSed film, for the fun con- tained therein will be well worth anyonc's evening.
 The story Of the two zany play wrights. played by Cagney and V bIiBIly WijO COIICOtb WtIIu J)iOto and situations, who adopt an un- born baby to star in their next pie ture, is still howl.
 The casting of Susie, the naive waitress whose baby forms the cen ter of much of the playWrights' cain-ral8ing, must have been an in- spiration heayen-Scnt. Marie Wil- son, heretofore seen only in bit parts and small pictures, plays the starry eyed, simple darling who is adopted by the playWrights with an adapta- tion that is startling.
 Ralph Bellamy is the producer Dick F'oran the outraged cowboy with Frank McHugh and Bruce Lester. English star, taking featured roles.
 Also on the same bill is Prison Break" co-Starring Glcnda Farrell and Barton McLanc. One exciting event follows another in this film which deals with the gtate-prisOr parole system.

IMMUNITY AGAINST DIPHTUERIA

Tn France there are 1000 deaths annually from diphtheria and about 20 1000 cases of the disease annually.
 For years it has been obligatory for French soldiers to be immunized against diphtheria with toxoid which is called antitoxin in France.
 Not long ago the lower house of the French legislature passed a bill extending such compulsory immu- nization Git is inaccurate to call 1t vaccination) to all children during the second or third year. Early in June of this year the French sen- ate passed a similar bill, so that im- munization against diphtheria is now compulsory in France. Parents or guardians are made responsible for having all children immunized. No child can be admitted to school without certificate showing that this law has been complied with. On publication of the new law in early June notice was given that all chil- dre up to the age of 14 who had not been immunized must be immu- nized as soon as possible.
 The immunizations with toxoid will be carried out entirely at gov ernment expense. The French gov- ernment regards this as an econom- ical policy, believing that the outlay will be amply compensated by a marked reduction in the present sick rate of 10000 cases a year and the death rate of 2000 cases year from diphtheria.

 Daddy Jim is impatient with Bert. He doesn't understand the boy. And he resents his honeying around his mama all the time. He says she spells and softens him.

 This is the day for which Slimane suave provincial detective, has been waiting. For he knows that if noth- ing else can lure the great lover out of the Casbah and into the hands of the law, perhaps woman can.
 Pope and Gaby fall madly In love and after q series Of exciting and romantic adventures, In the course of which the jealous native sweet heart betrays Pope to the police, the story ends on q breath taking sur prise climax.
