THREE NORFOLK LASSIES
FIND CAREERS DIFFICULT

Three Junior High School girls, one
Ia and two Is years old, returned by
a Cape Charles ferry to their home in
Norfolk last week after a twenty-fou1
hour A. w. o. L. and an adventure
in seeking a career.
The girls, Esther Liebowitz, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Liebowitz
of 3O6 Graydon Avenue. Elizabeth
Hermann, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Hermann at 1923 Westove1
Avenue, and Myrtle Davis, daughter
of Mrs. Jack Davis of 313 Duncan
Avenue, arrived in Cape Charles on a
late ferry Monday night, after hitch
hiking to the Little Creek Ferry Ter
minal.
Giving as their names Eleanor
Holmes, Joyce Powell and jeanette
Welton, respectively, they went to the
home of the Rev. j. E. Foster, ex-
planning that they had expected to
meet an aunt from Richmond but
that she had failed to arrive and that
they were without funds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster, themselves
natives of Richmond, were suspicious
when questions revealed that the girls
were totally unfamiliar with well
known Richmond localities. The fact
that the young women used the few
pennies they had to buy a Norfolk
paper Tuesday morning confirmed
their suspicious.
The matter was reported to Cape
Charles authorities, who telephoned
the Norfolk police department where
it was learned that three girls ans
wering to the description of the visi-
tors had been reported missing.
A brother of the Liebowitz girl and
Detective Sergeant Matthews arrived
on the $3.50 ferry and accompanied
the girls to their home Tuesday night.
The girls stated that they had left
notes for their parents, and that they
had left home to become movie stars.
They had paper packages containing
supply of clothing and bountiful
lunch.

ening infestation of the pea aphis
throughout Talbot county. The con-
ditions of last year are likely to be
repeated at a somewhat earlier date.
Serious injury to canning has occur
red in 1897. Growers who wish to
avoid damage to their crops should
begin spraying or dusting with Rot
enone.
Talbot Gamers have been dusting
the past week. It is believed that the
insects will start much earlier on
plants than usual due to the mild win
ter and early warm spring. Peas are
badly infested in some parts of the
county, and if the crop is to be saved
it must be sprayed or busted at once.

STRIKE SITUATION IN
CRISFIELD NOT CHANGED

With the fifth week of the crat
pickers ended, the packers and the
striking pickers seem about as fan
apart as at any time during the strike
and settlement of the differences
seem remote.
Monday night of last week the Com
missioner of Labor, A. Stengle Ma
rine,, with the Deputy Commission,
Mrs. Hatfield, and Mr.. McCauley of
the Commissions office, met with the
crab packers who are affected by the
strike and the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil in an endeavor to compose the
differences.
At this meeting the crab packers
they had cut the price of crab
picking from 35 to 25 cents per gallon
because of economic conditions and
when the crab pickers walked out,
closed their plants, and would keep
them closed until conditions improved.
On Tuesday, several of the colored
women who are aligned with the C.
I. o. visited Washington to talk mat
ters over with officials there. These
women are among the strikers.
Thursday night of last week Mr.
Stanley White, a labor conciliator
from the Department of Labor at
Washington, was present at a public
meeting in the City Hall, and admit
ting that settlement of the strike
seemed remote, left Crisfield after the
meeting. Later, it is understood that
headquarters were established in Po-
comoke City for further conferences,
but without any headway being made.
It is currently reported that set
tlement of the controversy could be
had if each side would make some con
cessions and the packers pursuaded to
open their houses again. Some of the
pickers who are out on strike have
applied for work at different times
and many of them have been frank in
saying they would like to go to work
once more.
In the past many packers have oper.
ated at loss during a part of the
year to furnish partial employment
to the pickers, and have paid 35 cent.
a gallon as against a top price of q
cents paid elsewhere. AS an exampl
of the difference in price, it is re
ported that one packer now operatin,
in Crisfield also operates a plant il
Hampton, Va, paying the Crisfiel
pickers 35 cents a gallon and tn
Hampton pickers 20 cents a gallol
thus averaging the cost of picking a
27h cents per gallon. In some 9th
er sections the price paid is reporte
to be as low as Is cents per gallol
The strike has been marked by tn
absence of C. I. o. organizers frol
Crisfield for some days and there hs
been little disturbance of any kin
during the five weeks of the strik

rectly interested in the strike, al

POLI'S

Rising to new heights in the de- velopment of the American screen epic. Metro Goldwyn-Mayer has as- sembled a superlative cast and story in "The Bad Man of Birthstone, '' starring Wallace Beery, which opened today at the Loew Poli theater.
 Dealing with the wild and woolly sos of the old West, the picture tells to a constant accompaniment of gunfire, how the town of Brim- stone finally got law and order.
 Fast moving, filled with breath less suspense, ''The Bad Men of Birthstone" offers Beery the finest opportunity of his long and brilliant career.
 As the head of a gang of outlaws ruling over Birthstone, Beery holds up stage. In the stage is a young prize fighter, Dennis OKeefe, Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer's newest and most sensational discovery since Robert Taylor.
 O'Keefe decides to stay in Brim- stone and after a short time there Beery discovers him to be his son whom he deserted many years ago. From that point on Beery's struggle is to protect O'Keefe without allow ing O'Keefe to realize 1t.
 Ably directed by J. Walter Ruben, the picture displays to the fullest the talents of Virginia Bruce as OKeefe'S sweetheart, Joseph Calleia, as Beery'S henchman, Lewis Stone, Guy Kibbee, Bruce Cabot, Cliff Ed wards, Noah Beery, Raymond Hat

SMOKE GETS IN YOUR
 ARTERIES

Discussing the effects of tobacco on the circulation, Dr. D. G. Chap man remarks in Virginia Medical Monthly for November, 1897, that records have not shown an increase in the incidence of peptic ulcer with increased smoking among females. Smoking, however, is an exciting factor in thrombo-angiitis obliter- ans, if not a cause, Dr. Chapman observes.
 Four years ago I warned young women about excessive indulgence in tobacco. In this column sometime ago I said:
 Far be it from me to wish to frighten anybody unless there is good and sufficient reason for it. I have already intimated that in my opinion the temperate or moderate use of tobacco by an adult does not necessarily injure health, and in any event it is not more harmful to woman than it is to man. Now I warn young women smokers to look to their legs. Even if the legs are not of the kind that give your ,ortrait front page position, just think what a bore it would be to have one of 'em cut of above the ankle"
 A good many young adults who have smoked excessively for a few years have to have leg amputated eventually from thrombo- -angiitis obliterans. Heretofore the victims have been exclusively, so far as I can learn, males. But from the way many young women abuse tobacco, now that they make no bones of smoking anywhere and everywhere, one fears quite few of them will lose leg in due course.
 A person developing thrombo- angiitis obliterans, after a few years of excessive smoking, begins to suf- fer with cold feet and cold legs, in- termittent limping, then blueness and swelling of the feet, with stead fly increasing pain. In some cases this goes on to actual gangerene, I necessitating amputation.

 The local effect of tobacco smoke is irritation of the mucous mem brane lining mouth, nose, throat, larynx and bronchial tubes. More or less local irritation of the lining of esophagus, stomach and intes- tinal tract due to the swallowed saliva.

 One look at new spring dance frocks and street dresses is enough to convince any girl that this is no season to be too fat or too fiat. Curves are the thing = demure, softly rounded, feminine curves.

If you have thickened through the middle during winter. months, if your diaphragm protrudes or if your chest seems too flat un- der the intricately nodded bodices of some of fashions newest crea- tions, get busy with exercises to cor rect the defects.
 Bending and stretching routines and variations of the old riding the-bicycle exercise (this grinds away excess fiesh) are wonderful for the waistline. Rolling will slen- derize the hips. And to make your bustline firmer, higher and lovelier, do these exercises recommended by Eleanor Choate Hill, attractive young editor of the new magazine YOU"
 Stand erect with arm raised to shoulder level, elbows bent so that hands are about at chin level. Now press the fist of left hand as hard as possible into the palm of the right, meanwhile making the right put up as much resistance as you can. Reverse and repeat. This should be done at least ten times day, and, if possible, at the same time every day.
 Here is one of the best exercises we've ever heard of and worth the effort if you're serious about rais- ing your breasts" says Mrs. Hill.
 "Lie flat on your back across the bed with the base of your head on the edge. Rise both arms above your head on line with your body. Force one arm down toward the floor as far as possible; bring 1t back. Then force the other arm down. Repeat slowly, five times for each arm.

 At last high schools are begin ming to realize that If there is to be any sex education for the ma jority of young people, the task is up to them. And few of them like the school in New York, are Shouldering the respon- sibility. In spite of the opposition from those who still think that young people shouldn't discuss honestly the questions that are occupying their minds.
 Such instruction is more impor- tant in secondary schools than in colleges. For 1t takes in all those students who aren't going on to college, and who naturally will begin to work and marry at a younger age than those who spend four more years in prepara- , tion for life.

STATE

Carole Lombard and Fred Mac- Murray are joined by John Barry more in the co-starring leads of the comedy drama True Confession which began a four day engagement at Warmers State theater yesterday. The picture is natural and yester- days audiences laughed, until the rafters shook, at the antics of this trio of mad maniacs who cavort through more than an hours en- tertainment of the kind that makes movie-going pleasure.
 If laughing is one of your best accomplishments "The Confession" will bring it out in loud guffaws.
 In the film Miss Lombard and MacMurray play the parts of a struggling young lawyer and his wife, constantly at swords ends be- cause of the conflict between Miss Lombard's inborn habit of lying and MacMurray's love for truth.
 Implicated by circumstantial evi- dence, Miss Lombard finds herself accused of murder, of which she is entirely innocent. MacMurray does not believe her story. and forces her to confess that she killed in self-defense. On this plea, he gets Miss Lombard an acquittal.
 Barrymore steps into the scene, in the role of an eccentric derenct whose brother-in-law actually conn., mitted the murder, and who tries to blackmail Miss Lombard by threat ening to tell MacMurray that she lied to him in her confession, un- less she buys him of.
 The film winds up with the most hilarious combination of comedy

 Carbon Monoxide
 Noticed you said carbon monoxide is not poison. Beg to inform you carbon monoxide IS 8 poison-it is the deadly poisonous gas in auto mobile exhaust (M. W0
 Answer-Carbon monoxide is NOT poison. Its deadly effects are due wholly to the fact that it crowds oxygen out of the blood and tissues. It requires inhalation of air pol luted with very small proportion of carbon monoxide to interfere se- riously or even fatally with the oxygenation of blood and tissues. The damage or death in carbon monoxide gassing is due to anoxia lack of oxygen.
