rapidly, surely, and as tenderly as if they were
baby's clothes. Indeed she had profound
veneration for all children, and they gravi-

her with them, to realize that because she
was so homely she probably would never
have children of her own.

chatter, opening wide her sheep eyes. There
wasn't fellar who would look twice at Goose

Some moved away. Most of them married.
1t seemed no time at all before Emmy Law

Mrs Brown was beset with worries, and the
impression of the cheerful little cottage faded

As time went on Gus began taking moth

back they Uttered and made fun of her.

Carole Lombard and Frederic March in Nothing Sacred" provide the entertainment high light of the current show being presented at Warner Brothers Strand theater today and tomorrow.
 Nothing Sacred" is a hilarious, comedy satire of Manhattan, screen play for which was written by the inimitable Ben Hecht from a story by James H. Street. Pictorial color shots show the resort playgrounds of the east, including metropolitan New York, Long Island, Havana and Nassau.
 The cast is an impressive one and they enter into the rollicking spirit of the action which ca.lS for them doing everything from riding on a hook and ladder and jumping of the dock to being the principles in a lavish night club sequence as well as a Whirlwind, rough and tumble fight.
 Hit number two on this program is You're Only Young Once star ring Lewis Stone, Cecilia Parker and Mickey Rooney.
 Stone carries the burden of the story as a typical American fighter.
 Cecilia Parker and Mickey Roon- ey as the daughter and son are said to be ideally cast. Miss Parker portrays a young girl, just out of college, who is engaged to a min ing engineer but is still open to en- tanglements with the opposite sex. Mickey Rooney, in his first grown up role

TWO motives spurred the adven-
 turous plans of daring young Vasco Nunez de Balboa in 1513. Exploring in the lands of the Caribbean, he heard from friendly natives of the ocean settlements on the other side of the mountains and of the gold of Peru. And at the same time he heard from Spain. Having incurred the i'll will of the king on a previous occa- sion he was now ordered con- demned and summoned to return to his homeland.
 So Vasco Nunez determined on a noble feat to conciliate the king; he would discover an ocean for Spain. Accordingly on Sept. l, 1513, he set out from Darien with l90 Spaniards and 1000 natives. Either on the 25th or 26th he reached the top of the range and for the first time sighted the Pa- cific. ..-
 Francisco Pizarro and two oth- CTS were sent out immediately to reconnoiter. On the 18th Balboa himself tired Pacific shores and formally took possession of the Great South Sea" in the name of Spain.
 The discovery did reconcile the king, Ferdinand the Catholic, but Balboa's glory was short lived. He was condemned for treason and executed in 1517, victim of vii cious plot conceived by an old enemy. Balboa is shown on the first of the four U. s. Panama Pacific commemorative stamps of 1913.
