 The betrayal of the public by the federal government was shamefully manifest in the food and drugs act of 1906, which our Congress Com ique fixed up exactly as the big nas- trum interests ordered. The present version of the law is in effect a greater betrayal of public welfare.

But the food and drugs di- vision just doesn't see the glaring defiance of the letter and spirit of the law and its own specific regula- tons in the naming, labelling and vicious claims made by the sense dulling drugs which are so freely sold to the unWary public under names shrewdly calculated to de- celve and mislead.

III UIlc SdIllt way, inhibitions ingrained in chil- dren will last always, if only to make them feel guilty when they aren't living up to them.
 Children as rule are inhibited by fair and sensible laws. Some of the hold-backs on conduct are put there by nature. Most of us are born with rather good bal ance between desire and restraint. So between the things children are taught to think right and the natural cautions, they get along fairly well. And later, as adults, they manage nicely, also.
 But mark the word "balance." When habits of repression are so strong that they eclipse the free dom of will altogether, then one loses ability to select, even when it ought to mean greater happi- ness.
 Use Common Sense
 Parents sometimes place over emphasis on things important to them but that have little real moral value. 1nhibitions once firmly set can never be over-ridden without twinges of guilty conscience. The growing child who has been told re- peatedly that it is wicked to dance, may dance when he is older, it is true, but he may have fight with himself every time he does two step. The boy who is told that 1t is wrong to look at a girl, may never marry, or possibly feel guilty if he does.
 The girl who is conditioned to plain appearance and no furbe- lows, with the idea that frivolity is indecent. may try later to fix herself up, but she will never feel comfortable. It may effect her normal conduct and charm.
 Inhibitions, therefore, de r mother, should be based on sen- sible values. They should be nor nal and moral. Morality, of course, is sometimes cloaked in false colors. I think, however, that the intelli- gent parent knows what constitutes fair morality and what is synthetic rightnesS.
 The happy child is never in- hibited to a stifling extreme.

 In this film the now established madmen of the movies have added many extra film frenzies to provide merriment.
 Interpolated through the plot of Kentucky Moonshine" is romance between Tony Martin, the popular radio and screen crooner, and the delightful Marjorie Weaver, who has come 8 long way toward star dom since her "break" in Second Honeymoon"
 The romance in turn is accom- panied by the three hit-parade- destined songs by the prolific song writing team of Lew Pollack and Sidney D. Mitchell, who provided three of the tunes for Tn Old Chi cago" among nearly two dozen other hits during the past year.

Marjorie Weaver, waiting her turn for an au- dition at a radio station, overhears conference at which it is decided to send Tony Martin to the moun- tains of Kentucky to get "rea" hillbilly talent. Miss Weaver fore goes her addition to rush back to the theatrical boarding house and appraise the Ritz Brothers of the radio company's plan.
 How the brothers and Marjorie meet this situation does justice to the poet laureate of one of the more exclusive madhouses. They all hie to the hills of the Blue Grass State. don whiskers become in- volved in long forgotten feud :. but manage to steer the talent scouts in their direction.
 Extricating themselves from the obvious results of this fraud is what provides most of the uproarious fun of the plot.
 In addition to the Three Ritz Brothers, Tony Martin and Marjorie Weaver, the cast includes Slim Summerville, John Carradine, Wally Vernon, Berton Churchill and Eddie Collins.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram is Jane Withers ill "Rascals".

 Tough leather hobnobs with deli cate tulle in another of Paquin's creations-this time in floor length dinner dress of black and white diagonally striped tulle. Fat brass buttons run from the top of the high neck to the bottom of the hem. A wide belt of emerald green suede marks the waist.

 Carry one of those new compacts of cleansing pads in your purse and clean your face with them several times 8 day. Saturated with non oily preparations, these cool as they cleanse.
 Brush your hair with a clean hairbrush every single night. And have a shampoo even oftener than you did during winter months.
 Pat your body with cologne after your evening bath and your morn ing shower.
 Substitute lightly scented per- fume for the heavier odors you liked last winter. Or give up perfume except for evening and use toilet water during the day. Use a fairly hard, fairly indelible lipstick. If you intend to cling to your oily, soft lipstick, then be sure to "set" the color with cleansing tissues after each application. Use 8 bit of special foot powder on your feet before putting on stockings.
 Put on clean underwear and clean stockings each and every morning.
 Wear washable dresses in the country or suburbs. Furthermore, if your budget won't stand the strain of pretty large dry cleaning bills, better wear washables in town, too Dress as simply as possible. Ruff fles and other frou-frou touches, ] flowing veils and extremely fancy shoes aren't likely to be hattering when the thermometer is lowering around ninety-nine.
 Comb your hair off your neck line. If you don't want to part with your long bob, find a hair-dresser who will design a coiffure which can be worn up or down.
 Spend even more time grooming yourself to perfection. (Taking the white trimming off dark dress and then neglecting to wash and sew it back on, going without girdle or slip or going without hat to places where a hat certainly should be worn honestly won't make SO very much difference in the way you feel but tremendous amount in the way you look.)

The Canadian-American cham pionships, a bridge event with an international flavor, was held again this year at Niagara Falls May 19 to g, attracting players of note from both the United States and Canada.
 Naturally, Buffalo furnished most of the stars competing in this event, among whom Edwin G. Blake ranked high. The hand shown to- day is one he defended in the open pair championship last year, with F. Ohrt as his partner. Blake sat West.
