What Will People Think?'

ple's idea, it's just too bad.
 "The way to do is to stop and say to yourself, Am I right?' And if you think you're right, then what others say should not be too important. We're all pretty sensl- tive. of course, and even I like to be in agreement with other peo- ple. But if did that all the time, I would be nothing but jelly. talk ing on the mold of the last person I was with. You can't possibly please everyone. You can't be od two sides at once. If you are, then it's sign of weakness.
 For instance this dress. If you went to Miss Schultz and insisted on her finishing your dress, in her condition, she would be thinking, too. She would decide you were girl without a heart. She might very possibly mention it to Mrs. Andrews, our neighbor, who is a great gossip, Mrs. Andrews might spread it that you were a selfish little brat, and as she is a friend of Toms mother, Tom would hear it. That shows that nothing we do is without somebody thinking something"
 From wouldn't care. He knows me. Besides he likes me to look nice."
 Beside the Point
 well, we're getting away from the point. The idea is that we have to do what seems wisest and best at the time and not allow what other people might think to make slaves of us. AS long as we are doing our best and being as kind and fine as possible, there will be many misunderstandings. All the people cannot know all the circumstances all the time. Don't let it become your motto, my dear. Live up to your con- science. That's enough. It has been the real secret behind all the great successes of the world. Independence about doing what seems best"
 That's right" nodded Mary. T must stop being afraid of people. Unless I think they are right, and I'm wrong"

factor in most cases of so-called weak nerves" I wonder, too, whether lack of vitamin B in the average American diet is not the explanation for this anoxia in many cases where neither carbon monoxide nor altitude can be con- cerned.
 Whatever ails you, the chances are you don't know how to breathe naturally nor how good it is for you to practice breathing that way unless you have already studied the booklet just mentioned or my monograph Belly Breathing, ? which you may have for the asking if you furnish a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address.
 I believe we get a better gauge of an individuals life expectancy and vital fitness by measuring his vital capacity or by determining the elasticity and functional resil- iency of his belly than we can get by measuring his chest expansion or his blood pressure.
 To prevent confusion we had better explain that the belly is the front wall of the abdomen, the ab- domen is the lower body cavity; the thorax is the upper body cavity and the chest is the front wall of the thorax. The two great body cavities are separated by the dia- phragm, a broad thin muscle membrane attached to the lower ribs, spine and tip of breast bone, in the form of an inverted saucer or a tarpaulin. When the dia- phragm contracts it squezes down. ward, enlarging the theracic space and lowering the pressure within the thorax, by reason of which air enters the lungs. At the same time the contraction of the diaphragm decreases the space in the abdomen and increases the pressure within the abdomen, in consequence of which considerable blood, collecting constantly in the great veins, is driven along to the heart to be pumped into the lungs for oxygen ation.
 So you see, if you think belly is not quite proper to have or to use, or if you have been led to as- sume that one should breathe with ones chest, you can hardly expect to have an efficient circulation or to have as steady nerves as you would like to have.

POL!'S

The ambitions, struggles, disap- pointments and joys of group of young people who form a caste by themselves, whose thoughts and be- havior differ widely from other strata in the social structure, are dramatically barred in Dramatic School" which opened at the Loew Poli theater this afternoon for an engagement of four days.
 The new picture brings to the screen two brilliant acting DOT trayals, one offered by Luise Rainer as the poor student who works in a factory at night in order to earn her tuition, and the other by Paul. cite Goddard, who as fashionable student of the school has a role of- fering an intense dramatic contrast to that of Miss Rainer's.
 Dramatic School is the story ot Louise Bauban, factory worker and drama pupil. She lives in a world of dreams, for everything is a play to her. She even creates an imagin- ary lover whose existence her class mates doubt. They plan to expose her, to place her face to face with the handsome young Marquis whom she boasts as her lover. But the Marquis, stranger to her, plays her game. He falls in love with her and beautiful romance follows.
 Then calamity falls upon Louise, two-fold. She is threatened with ex- pulsion from school and the Marquis abandons her. Faced with defeat on all sides, Louise awakens to find her. self nominated by her class to play the leading role in the years most important play. She scores great triumph and not until the Marquis seeks renewal of her love does Louise realize that her first love is the theater.
 Miss Rainer is ideally cast as the visionary factory worker and Miss Goddard presents striking beauty and acting talent. Others in finely balanced cast include Alan Marshal, Lana Turner, Genevieve Tobin, An- thony Allan, Henry Stephenson and Gale Sondergaard.
 On the same program is another big hit, Flirting With Fate" with Joe E. Brown, America'S favorite comedian, in the leading role. Sup porting him in this hilarious laugh hit are Leo Carrillo, Beverly Rob- erts, Steffi Duna and galaxy of other popular personalities.

Embarrassing the way Mary and John get on each others nerves blow up in public! No wonder they can't keep friends.
 Yet they'd be charming-happy together-if they'd use their nerv- ous energies constructively.
 Instead, Mary frets over every trifle-John overbids his hand, the laundry's late. The least thing up- sets her emotionally.
 What Mary needs is an absorb ing interest in her life. If she'd take over the leadership of the girls club in her neighborhood she'd soon forget petty annoyances become cheerful, vital, pleasant companion.
 "Speed-up" is Johns middle name It's rush to work, rush through lunch-no wonder he fumes, fusses, goes off the deep end at the least provocation.
 Learn to let down little, John. Get enough sleep. Take time to enjoy your meals.

Latest Styles
GlorIing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Although cosmetics generally are considered the most glamorous of all gifts for women, it's a wise shopper who remembers that it is all too easy to make dreadful mistakes in the selection of beauty items.
 For instance, no woman on your list wants cheap, heavily perfumed soap. No exceptions to this. Ana she doesn't want compact for which refills are not easily obtaiI1- able or loose powder compact that doesn't have some kind of screen between puff and powder.
 She won't be happy with a fitted case with quantities of bottles and jars but without space for g tooths brush and a cake of soap. Make sure the fitted case you select IS practical as well as handsome. And she'd rather have one pair of super fine scissors than manicure kit containing half a dozen mediocre gadgets which will give poor service.
 Naturally, you won't give per- fume unless you know she likes per- fume. In any event, you won't send heavy, heady odor to Q light- haired fragile youngster or an ex- tremely light, girlish one to the woman who looks and is sophisti- cated. Furthermore, you won't send lipstick unless you know pretty det1- nitely the shades she prefers.
 A manicure kit equipped with 3 couple of bottles of dark exotic polish won't make the woman who likes only light polish very happy. If you insist upon giving a manicure case to one whom you know none too well, at least see that 1t includes one light and one dark lacquer.
 Don't buy a dresser set just be- cause you think the back of the mirror is pretty. Buy it because the brush has excellent bristles, the mir TOT is fine and clear and the comb is one she'll use for years.
 Sacrifice quantity for quality every time. Any woman you know would ratherhave jar of good nail polish remover pads or small jar of good cleansing cream than 8 huge bottle of cheap perfume. And she'll enjoy box of top grade face powder more than complete makeup set of an inferior grade.

THE ONLY CHILD

Not long ago we noticed couple IN a
public gathering, and between the husband
and wife there sat their only child, almost
an adult.
We wondered at the time if this young
person fully realized all the Importance of
his (or herr relationship to the older couple
which had carried life's burdens for all
three up to that time?
For the older couple. life is almost a
thing of the past Except for brief interest
in a few remaining years all that life still
held was wrapped up in and conferred
around the activity and the future of their
child.
Yet, as we all know, these parents, and
others, are now powerless TO affect the
child's destiny very much Unless character
had been builded in earlier youth, no
amount of love and interest can inject it
now. The child is out of the parental range
for all time.
The moral of this, if any, is two-fold ::
Parents whose children are young should
not neglect the training for their boys and
girls. 1t is task which can not be delegat-
ed And, children, as they enter life on
their own responsibilities, should not over
look their power to wreck and make miser-
able the closing years of their parents lives.

THE ANTI-LYNCHINC BILL

After something like six weeks of con-
Senators from the Southern States fought
passage of the so-called anti-lynching bill,
the measure was laid aside last week by a
vote of 50 to % in order that other husi-
ness could be considered
That the long debate was unfortunate
in that it tended TO revive sectionalism,
without complete assurance of effective
ness in preventing lynchings, is reasonablr
plain. The lynching evil has been attacked
by the leaders of the South and the record
demonstrates that the crime is gradually
disappearing Only eight such Outrages
occurred last year, and while this is bad
enough there are those who believe that
passage of a Federal anti-lynching bill
would weaken the fight against Iynching
in the South
That Senator Borah, of Idaho, should
have joined in opposing the measure and
that Senator Norris, of Nebraska, should,
at the last minute. declare his opposition
is significant. Like Mr.. BOrah, Senator
Norris recalled the SOuth's tragic era of
Reconstruction, "carpet-bagger control Of
government and 1.-The misery and ruin In
homes already destroyed by war; He
agreed that the bill would have a ten
dency to stop the progress being made"
IN the fight against lynchings, declaring
that the South has made record of
nwhiehit has right to be proud"
