 Starting Friday the State ushers In anohter giant must see show with Midnight, ninety minute laff picture. headlining the program.
 The picture is said to be the hap piest hit of the spring season and brings together Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche in the co-starring leads. Besides the two stars the cast has more famous names than any other production of the year. The list is a long and spectacular one, beginning with John Barrymore and including Francis Lederer, Mary Astor, Hedda Hopper, Rex O'Malley and Elaine Barrie. The last named is, of course, the young wife of Barrymore, now making her first appearance on the screen.
 In the opinion of critics this is Miss Colbert's best comedy since the memorable Tt Happened One Night" The fact that she is teamed with the flashing Don Ameche makes it a glorious entertainment treat that shouldn't be missed by anyone.
 The background of the film is Paris with Miss Colbert playing the part of an American fortune hunter. While on one of her escapades she meets Ameche who appears as a Parisian cabbie.
 The screens number one bad man, Humphrey Bogart, heads the cast of the second exciting hit "You Can't Get Away With Murder" The film was adapted from the play "Chalked Out" by Sing Sings fear less Warden Lewis E. LaweS. Sup porting Bogart are Gale Page, Billy Halop, leader of the Dead End" kids, and John Litel.
 It Is powerful drama of racket eering and gangsterdom and is drawn largely from Lawes' personal experiences and presents as strong and authentic a story as has yet reached the screen.

 It isn't too early to decide that you are going to be much more at tractive in a bathing suit next sum- mer than you were last summer. This is indeed the time to resolve to eliminate bulges on hips and thighs, or, if you are underweight, to figure out a way to gain a few pounds.
 The skin on arms, shoulders and back will be in the spotlight again as soon as you begin wearing play suits, bathing suits and other beach togs. You ought to plan to scrub them with your long handled bath brush every night when you bathe. You might bleach elbows with plain lemon juice. You might do special arm and neck exercises to eliminate fiabbiness and give the skin what the experts call tone" You cer- tainly should work to improve your posture.
 Naturally, poor carriage is em- phasized by bathing suit or any other form-fitting costume. You should walk and stand with back bone as straight as possible, stom- ach in and hips carries forward. Think of your head as balanced on cylinder. Hold it up, but hold it straight up, making muscles at sides of the neck support it.
 To improve your posture, do this exercise regularly:
 Stand about a foot away from flat wall with feet ten inches apart Now lean backward until center of your back touches the wall. Grad ually straighten your body until all of your backbone except the base of it is touching the wall Shoul- ders will then be square but not stiff looking. Stomach will be ab- solutely fiat and spinal column will be quite straight. Hips will look simmer. When you move away from the wall, try to walk as you were standing.

Skill Vs. Surgery in the Treatment
 of Infected TOnsils
 From time to time the conductor of this column has expressed his opinion that standard surgical ton sillectomy by the guillotine and snare method or by dissection is pretty crude operation even in the most capable hands. Some readers have inferred that the conductor indiscriminately recommends the diathermy method (electro- -coagula- tion) of treatment for infected ton sils. That is not so, and it is time to correct the misapprehension.
 Having studied the problem for many years, observing tonsillec- tony by various specialists employ ing various techniques each accord ing to his individual views or training, and observing electro coagulation by various specialists, each employing the technique or method he considered most satis- factory, I arrived at certain general conclusions which, believe, are now accepted by most well-informed physicians:
 1. The diathermy method (elec- tro-coagulation) of extirpating ton sils, requires greater tact, patience an dskill on the part of the physi- clan than the major operation for removal of tonsils does.
 2. In the hands of the throat spe- cialist, the competent surgeon or the general practitioner, the diathermy method is SAFER than the radical operation.
 3. So far as the after-e effects are concerned the older, and as I be- lieve the cruder mehtod of remov- ing tonsils is as satisfactory, to physician and patient, as the mod ern method. There is no ground for the epecious suggestion that the one
