STRAND

If you intend to see the giant air thriller "The Eagle and The Hawk" currently at Warner Bros. Strand theater you'll have to hurry as per- formances on Tuesday evening con- cludes it's engagements. This out standing air film has been brought back to the screen of the Strand by popular request. Its star-studded cast is headed by such noted players as Frederic March, Carole Lombard, Gary Grant and Jack Oakie. On the same show is the hilarious comedy Topper Takes A Trip" with Roland Young and Constance Bennett in the co-starring leads. Plan to see this swell show today: you'll enjoy 1t from start to finish.
 Among the best of the hit pictures coming to the Strand is Broadway serenade" opening e four day en- gagement on Wednesday as the headliner of the fine twin feature bill. The reigning favorite, as Queen Of the Screen lovely Jeanette Mac- Donald will be seen in the leading role, Incidentally this has been call- cd her most glorious hit to date. An impressive array of stars support Miss Macdonald. They include Lew Ayres. Frank Morgan, Rita Johnson and Ian Hunter with a score of leading favorites in other roles.

of one whose jaw is tense or who forms words at the back of the mouth instead of at the front of it.
 "Yawning or going through the motions of yawning and simply swinging the jaw back and forth are the best relaxing exercises for it. Practice these until you get out of the habit of holding your teeth firmly together, your tongue against the roof of your mouth and throat closed. When your tongue isn't in use, keep the tip of it lightly against lower teeth. Re- member that a tense jaw is the direct cause of nasal twang.
 "You no doubt like low voice better than high one," Miss Wa ters continued. But this doesn't mean that all high voices are un- pleasant. Indeed, high voice. properly placed, can be as nice as a low one.
 However, to enrich the tones of your voice, grunt twenty or thirty times day. Yes, grunt like an animal. And don't confuse whining with grunting."
 SCREEN STARS
 ARE GODD MODELS
 AS an example of the rich, mel low tones which come from one whose jaw is relaxed. Miss Waters cited Hollywood star Mary Astor.
 Furthermore, Miss Astor's pos ture is excellent especially her head and chest carriage. You can't get the best tones out of your vocal bands if you stand with chest caved in and head bowed"
 Miss Waters also thinks Bette Davis voice well worthy of imitation by any woman.
 Miss Davis speaks clearly and maintains good voice quality no matter what emotion she is portray ing This is an important point. You know how irritating is the voice which becomes Shrill in mo- ments of excitement or emotional stress. However, only slightly less irritating is the too-soft voice which fades away in the middle of a sen- tence and which you usually have to strain your ears to hear"
 Among Miss Waters other rules for good diction and a pleasant voice are these:
 Learn to say nice things in a nice, warm, sincere tone of voice. Otherwise, you'll be accused of be- ing a flatterer.
 Remember to take a breath at the end of phrase.
 Read aloud for at least an hour a week.
 ''Deep-really deep-breathing is sure cure for temporary self-con- sciousness. Remember that when you have a speech to make or a group of strangers to meet"

RAISING A FAMILY

He went on: "Oh, shucks, bays, bosses are bosses the world over. They always expect more than we want to give. And politics always kept things interestin' enough fur everybody. What else could you talk about if it wasn't fur Congressman This and Alderman That?
 You'd be surprised to hear that what you're sayin' now could be matched hundred times over every year I've lived, and that's sayin' a lot.
 want to say about Patty's folks, that Patty never wrote one single letter that didn't sound like calam- ity was ketchin' her by the back hair. Every time I got to feelin' sorry for her, I'd pike out there hell-bent fur election, thinking d just reach her in time to pay the undertaken.
 No Catastrophe Visible
 And what would I see? The whole tribe of them sittin' round their vittles the same as usual. Patty all fat and forty and shinin' bright in checkered dress. The COWS still givin' good, rich milk and not miss in the couple that had croaked with the pip. And as fur Abby, she'd a sight rather stay home and take care of Nan's kids than teach school. That's real vacation for her.
 q tell you, all of you, that you like to make talk"
 Junior and Sis wished the old folks would finish the salad and get down to dessert.
 Things went faster, however, after Grandpa had thrown a spoke in the wheel. There was more eating and less moaning. The pie came and went.
 The men went to attend to some car matter. The women went about cleaning up. Grandma took a nap. Grandpa went for a walk.
 Come on, you two" he said. "You need to get good look at Gods green world. We'll go and see the gold carp make faces at each other. That's all folks are today. Face mak- CTS. I'd a sight ruther watch fish than humans at it. There, look at that sun. Now chase each other and run fast. And holler as loud as you kin"

Today marks your last opportun- ity to see Confessions of a Nazi Spy" with Edward G. Robinson in the leading role; also Kay Francis in Women in the Wind," currently at Warner Bros. State theater.
 Theatergoers who have thrilled to horseracing, commonly termed the Sport of Kings" will be thrilled beyond their expectations when they view "The Lady's From Kentucky" the headliner of the new show open ing three day engagement at the State tomorrow afternoon.
 The excitement of Kentucky s Derby Day; the novelty of the TO- nance; the comedy; and the most thrilling racing sequences ever put on film are among the important features of the picture.
 From the opening to the closing scene, thrill follows thrill and it is safe to say that you'll be holding your seat during most of the presen- tation.
 A new starring team of George Raft and Ellen Drew head the im- pressive cast. Cast together for the first time, they are said to make one of the best co-starring teams to come out of Hollywood this season. Of course, theatergoers remember Miss Drew for her superb perfor- nance in If I Were King" If you remember her as the tavern wench who supplied much of the romantic interest opposite Ronald Colman. And now Miss Drew comes into her own, taking her first co-starring role and according to the critics 'doing a good job of it."
 This romantic drama is brought to the screen in the story of a gambler and a lady. They met be- cause he went broke, and discover ed that he owned half a race horse. She owned the other half. Slicker, tout, petty gambler, he didn't un- derstand the code of the Blue Grass country. He'd race a horse that wasn't ready: but shed have none of that, for she was brought up in the tradition of thoroughbreds, to race them for sport alone.
 Raft is the gambler; Miss Drew the lady and both are said to make their roles outstandingly convincing. Ably supporting the stars are Hugh Herbert and zazu."
 On the same show will be Pack Door To Heaven" with Wallace Ford, Aline MacMahon, Stuart Ere win and Patricia Ellis.

How quaint and colorful this hand-woven rug - with its greens, pinks, lavenders, yellows.
 And you can weave it yourself on a homemade loom, using odd bits of cloth.
 To make the loom, nail together a simple oblong frame of four wood- en slats and tack strips of burlap to the shorter sides. Now thread heavy postal twine through the bur- lap strips, forming a warp"
 For the weaving, use long strips of fabric or inches wide, fold in raw edges. Double first strip and, using both ends, weave braid- like pattern as in diagram. One end goes under warp as the other goes over. Quickly you braid" away-and your rug when finished is as pretty on one side as the other.
 Just as easily you weave other attractive things for home, per- sonal use. Make cheery place mats of cotton bias binding tape, using a breadboard for "loom." Weave 8 gay belt and purse on homemade cardboard looms"

TONsILS FROM SEASON TO
 SEASON

1VkN6AA0 F hOQM. SEkA0VIN 4V
 SEASON
 A lawyer complains:
 Specialist examined me and told me I ought to have my tonsils re- moved. He said the LEFT one was bad, the right one not so bad, but I ought to have them both out. I asked him if he couldn't treat them medically with gargle or something. No, they were too bad left, built up my system by cutting down on my eating, exercised, took cold baths, etc., and went back in. two months. Specialist looked again and said I ought to have those tonsils removed, the RIGHT one was very bad, but the left one was O. k, but I ought to have them both out with out further delay. We'll, refused to have either out. Hadn't cured the worst one, by his own admis- sion?"
 No, the worse one. Even that one is still in a questionable state, on the face of the testimony.
 A district health supervisor re- ported his observation of the sea- sonal change in the tonsils of a group of school children. Examina- tion by physicians in the early spring indicated that large num- Der of the children had large ton- sils and removal of the tonsils was recommended to their parents. For some reason which I do not recall now the recommendation was not followed. Several months later, af- ter the summer vacation, the same children were re-eXamined by the same doctors, and in nearly all in- stances the doctors now reported that the tonsils were normal. Noth- ing had been done in the way of treatment. But the enlarged ton- sils had returned to normal size during the late, spring and the summer.
 My own inference is that the chil- dren absorbed more vitamin D. or generated more, under the influence of ultraviolet rays of sunlight act- ing on naked skin, and perhaps in- gested a little more vitamin D in the milk, cream, butter, eggs they ate in the summer season when COWS and hens are more exposed to sunlight and milk and eggs contain more vitamin D. Then, too, I infer that school children are less ex- posed to cri Common respiratory infections) during vacation than they are in school where so few children take proper precaution about spreading theoir alleged slight colds" and teachers and others SO often come to school in spite of such indisposition and so imperil the health and life of every child in the schoolroom, by sanc- ton of the alleged health authori- ties who impose no rigid rule about this atrocity.
 If the lawyers right or left tonsil has a indus or focus of infection. he is deceiving himself in assuming that his diet, baths or exercise can eradicate the infection. That, in my opinion, calls for diathermy (elec- tro-coagulation) by a physician skilled in the difficult technique of this modern method. Pasteuriza tion, sterilization, disinfection, drainage of the infected area in the one ton- sil is sufficient-let the other ton- sil alone if it is not infected.
