Birds Might
Be to Blame

In view of the strange way 1t
picks out one part Of the coun-
try one year and then turns up
hundreds of miles away the
next, the puzzled scientists have
made some peculiar investiga-
tions. For instance, it was once
suggested that since it appeared
in autumn that the migration
Of the birds might have some
thing to do with its spread.
To investigate this theory,
charts of the birds flights South
have been kept for the past few
years to see if the birds took the
same path the epidemic took. It
has been pretty well established
now that there is no relation
between bird migration and
paralysis. Another blank has
been drawn by the men who
thought that since polio occurs
in the fall, when the air is full
of pollen, that this might have
something to do with 1t.
Cases Are
Investigated
In every city where an cpl
demic occurs, the cases are in.
vestigated to see whether it
strikes the rich home as well
as the poor; whether children
whose tonsils were removed
have a better chance of escap-
ing than those who still have
their tonsils. Many other factors
have been investigated, too, but
so far they haven't yielded any
information that is helpful.
About the only thing we know
is that the disease breaks out
in the autumn, runs until the
end of October and then dies
out. We also know that it
strikes some cities and not
others, and that it affects girls
and boys with equal frequency.

Most Mouths
Are Too Thin

If you will observe the mouths
of the average girl-we mean
those who have not thought
much about makeup and what
it can do for us-you will notice
most mouths are too thin.
There are no thin mouths in
Hollywood. Any girl who ap
pears before the camera will
have full, expressive lips, either
natures gift or that Of the
makeup man. The only thin
lips are for character parts
and never to express feminine
beauty.
We could name several of the
prominent stars whose natural
lips are not the full contour so
desirable, but when you see
them on the street or in pic
lures, the mouth outline will be
perfect.
When you begin to take your
mouth makeup seriously, YOU
will first study the general out
line. Note whether or not it is
the shape that gives a pleasing.
lively expression to the face.
Or, is it just a mediocre mouth?

CHILD SEARS IN
 CAST OF FEATURE
 ATTRACTION HERE
Judy Garland and Freddie Bartholomew in Listen,
 Darling, !" df Capitol

When couple of imaginative adolescents set out to find a hus- band for a girls mother, anything can happen and does in Listen, Darling" which is a story embrac- ing just that situation. It is at the Capitol and furnishes one of the laugh fests of the season.
 Featuring Freddie Bartholomew and Judy Garland with Mary Astor as the mother whose romance they attempt to guide, it is gem of adolescent nonsense with laughs galore, interrupted only by choice serious bits that provide relief with pathos and effective tugs at the heart strings.
 Alan Hale, Walter Pidgeon and Gene Lockhart form the trio of would-be suitors who fall victim to the plans of Freddie and Judy and what they go through is plenty.
 The picture gets off to terrific pace when the kids, in their eager ness to get Mary away from the town banker Gockhartl, lock Mary in a trailer and ''kidnap" hers Un- fortunately, they take along little Scotty Beckett, who more than, once throws everyone and every thing into a state of Imaginable con-, fusion before Walter Pidgeon and Mary finally fall in love

Eminent CeIIist Ends Her Visit
 In Capital City

Juneau was indeed sorry to see the months visit of Edythe Reilly Rowe ended when she left this morning on the Princess Louise. Rarely, if ever. has an artist come so far on such an unusual mission. Primarily she journeyed north to give an intensive course of cello in struction, but her stay also proved one round of social events.
 She was prevailed upon to leave her many musical activities in Sac ramento, Cal, to come to Juneau and teach three former pupils and one new student Those receiving her instruction were Jeanne Butts, Dorothea Hendrickson, Patricia and Shirley Davis, who appeared infor- mally yesterday afternoon in recital. Their advancement in this short time showed the concentrated ef- forts of both teacher and pupils. :.
 During Mrs Rowe's visit here, she presented fifteen broadcasts of cello solos, with Carol Beery Davis as &C., companist These were sponsored by local music-loving merchants, CO., operating with KINY. The response from the unseen audience was said to be most gratifying to everyone concerned. M ft
 Awaiting her return are her hus-. band. R. Robinson Rowe, associate bridge engineer for the state of Cali fornia, and their two sons, Edwin and Richard, who spent year in this city attending the Juneau Pub lie Schools. A busy musical season awaits her as cellist of the Sinfon-i ietta, principal cellist of the Sacra-
