Men Beginning To Learn
 Why Women Fear Age Signs

they feel their security is threat- ened.
 The 80 and 3o'ers pick up their papers and see tho business op- podtlinities ali directed toward the man under 70. The line looks dan- gerously close.
 And the fifty-year-olds read the under-a0 requirements and wonder how much longer they can hold on, It's 6 panieky fear tho men are feel- ing-fear that younger men are waiting to grab their places.
 The reason that women can't laugh Is because they under stand too well. Their own eternal fear of old age has the same foundation the treat to security.
 The fine lines around the eyes the gray hairs, the sagging chin have been the bugaboos of women because there have always been younger women who might step in and take their places.
 Men laughed because they thought 1t was only womanS vanity that made her hate to see tho birth days roll around.
 Now they are finding out the req reason. We hope they won't forget 1t when this lover 70" propaganda has run It's course, and the middle. aged man is relieved of economic fear of the future. Copyright, 1889, NsA Service, Incl

 II think I'll get me C nice thick club and pound some Of the umpus out of him." said father. But mother knew he didn't mean it. He left all the punishment to her and tho most she had any heart for was . little tap on his knickers that wouldn't hurt . fly. Together and separately they were mad at nm, but he only got worse.
 To-day was just the last straw. Ihe note had come by mail, So father did not know about 1t, either, TOT mother decided 1t was c caucus af" fair for later on.
 She did not soy anything even when Rosie fell down. She gave her son lots of gravy and . second piece of cake. He thanked her by yelling "Yippee" and. with one eye on ms father, gurgled into his glass. He expected heck. Nothing was said There must have been some tele' graphic warning that nc didn't see, Everything was lovely; stispiciotisly sweet. He wanted dime Tor the movies. It wasn't his night, so no nearly fell over when mother said, "Yes, I don't mind. Run along"
 What she wanted was c chance 10 talk to his father about Ffancis Jones, the Second.

swings of the Navy. the great- est air epic of ail, thrilled capacity audiences attending It's opening per- formance at the Warner Brothers State theater yesterday, Audiences were held completely spell-bound from the first minute to tho last and many of them were on the edges of their seats q good part of that time.
 An impressive cast headed by George Brent, Olivia dc Havilland and John Payne demonstrated anew that only Warner Brothers can present such vivid, exciting, au. thentie stories on the screen about the nations defenders.
 Previous triumphs such as "Here Comes The Navy" Devil Dogs of the Air." and submarine D-i" can't hold c candle to to this production when 1t comes to thrilling screen fare.
 Hailed as one of the most rousing of air thrillers 1t not only surpasses anything of 6 like nature produced by any other studio but even the best of the previous Warner service pictures,
 Filmed with the full cooperation of the United States Navy, the pros duetion is periodically educational in the sense that it gives theater- goers c thorough comprehension of the extent and competence of the navy's air establishment.
 About six hundred planes, in- cluding every type used by the navy, are shown at various times, in the course of the story, and there are several scenes in which scores of planes take of or land in succession or are seen aloft simultaneously in breath- taking forms of mass flying, Dazzling battle maneuvers, blind flying, power diving and other thrill ling air exploits are among the many spine-tingling sequences which you'll remember for months to come.
 Aside from the thrilling and en- crossing flying background the pie ture Is marked by e human and ap pealing story of brotherly affection and charming romantic motif. which for a time however, threatens to shatter the bonds of the two brothers. Brent and Payne play the two brothers and Miss De Havilland portrays the leading feminine role.
 Important rolse are capably hand- led by Frank McHugh Henry O'Neil, Victor Jory, John Litel, John Rid- gely. Donald Briggs and others.
 All in all here Is your best week. end movie bet. Make Q date and plan to attend before the closing performance Monday evening. This picture will positively be shown four days only.
 In addition the management presents an exciting story of "The Lone Spy Hunt" with Warren Wil- liam, Ida Lupino, Rita Hayworth and Virginia Weidler seen in the principal roles.
 The picture is exciting as well as comica; and is sure-fire enter tainment for the entire family.

THE SEVEN KEYS TO vITE

THE SEVEN KEYS TO WIFE
 Unhapplly, SO far as I have been able to ascertain, the i4v special edi- tors of Webster's entirely overlooked cri when they were preparing the second edition, published In 1885, but numerous voluntary editors of this column have challenged my claim as inventor, for they assert that crl is O French word centuries old and means cry, shout or screech. I diSnt mind that. Tn United States cri (kree) means whatever common respiratory infection you happen to have, if you are on the square and not trying to pass 1t to those around you.
 TWO or three years ago I asked readers to send In their suggestions for e new word which would express the general idea contained In the following paragraph:
 Preservation of the characteristics of youth, better-than-average nutri- tional condition as manifested in lower death-rates, better growth and development, extension of tho prime of life in both directions, material improvement of the life expectation of adults, higher average level Of positive health thruoghout the life cycle, greater pep, more vitality, the highest degree of natural immunity, an adequate fund of reserve power to tide over emergencies and strains, the resiliency of the untamed ani- nal or the primitive savage.
 Fearing readers might not be in- terested enough to submit sugges- tons I intimated that If any Greek had Q word for 1t the word would be worth $25 to me. The Greeks had thousands of words for itl But only q score or so were new words, and finally tho choice narrowed down to two words, which were not so new as they were promising-the words it" and vitability." On fractional distillation we obtained from these words the, as I fondly believed, brand new word "vite" and we have been using the word "vite," in the sense indicated, ever since,
 Now comes another voluntary edi- tor who informs me that vite Is not Q new word, for the French have used 1t for centuries, and 1t means quick, fast, speedily, lively. Very well, let the French have 1t their own way and pronounce 1t their own way. In the United States 1t Is pronounced as 1t is spelled and 1t means everything included in the paragraph above - and lively, sprightly, with spirit and animation, vigor, vivaeity, zeal, nimble, spry, eager, ardent and At, if you like.

 Timely and powerful, 1t depicts with stark. unblinking realism the cruel and ruthless brutality that made this island penal colony seem to be misplaced in the Twentith Century and led finally to its being

 If your skin seems to be slightly darker than 1t was last fall, you may want to bleach 1t Q bit between now and time to buy new spring cos- metics. simply decide on Q bleach- ing preparation, then use 1t once week.
 Among the best homemade bleaches tho plyani fresh lemon juice and mixture of half buttermilk and half lemon juice. Clean face thoroughly before using either. Pat cH the bleach, let 1t dry, then rinse of with luke-warm water, followed by ice cold water rinsings,
 If the skin IS not abnormally tender, plain peroxide may be used but not oftener than once Q week, Clean face and throat, wipe of with a cotton pad that has been soaked in peroxide, lot dry, rinse of with warm water, then with cold.
 Any bleach has Q tendency to be slightly drying. So, unless your skin Is very oily, by all means use cream immediately after removing the bleach. If you use Q commercially prepared bleaching cream or lotion, be sure to follow directions carefully,
 As Q matter of fact, directions on any cosmetic preparation should be followed exactly. If the label on your new jar of night cream says that tho cream must be used every night and left on all night, by all means use 1t just that way. If you don't like to sleep with cream on your face, find Q night cream accompanied by di- rections which state that the prep aration will do It's work in half m hour or an hour or whatever. There are many varieties of each type of cream and every item of makeup, Look until you And one which meets your requirements. Then give 1t Q fair trial. It isn't fair to ignore di- rections.
