BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE
The Care of the Feet

Nothing upsets the nervous system
more than having the feet out of con.
dition. The heat, the strain of stand
ing and walking tends to make the
foot feverish and swell. When the feet
are wrong, the body is wrong, so the
best thing to do is to correct this trOu-
Bile, as quickly as possible. A simple
remedy is this: Take a basin of cold
water and dissolve a generous portion
of salts in it and then let the feet soak
for about fifteen or twenty minutes
The salts draws out the fever and
soothes the nerves. Alter soaking,
then massage the feet with cold cream
or menthol. You will find yourself
completely refreshed after the treat
ment.

show. But they point out that Louis

and Priscilal Lane, new co-staring team. In the leading roles.
 This dramatic and compelling story of an era that is still strong in the minds of most of us Is pow erfully told and is recommended as excellent entertainment for every member of the family.
 No one but Cagney could quite so ably portray the lad who returns thankfully from the war, eager to go back to his old job as a mechanic, only to become swiftly disillusioned in world that has forgotten the debt 1t owes to the soldiers who fought for 1t.
 His rise from taxi-driver to boot legger to big shot gangster is made believable and understandable by Cagney's work.
 In the leading feminine role is Priscilla Lane, the star of "Daugh- ters Courageous and other hits, Her performance in this thrilling drama again proves her as one of , the finest young dramatic ac. tresses of today's screen. Also outstanding in their respec- tive roles are Humphrey Bogart and Jeffrey Lynn, as Cagney's war bud- dies; who become fellow gangsters. Gladys George, Prank McHugh and Paul Kelly

A Cigaret For di Torio

"Uh-huh. Aston found 1t in the passageway. Your special brand, l believe, Joey"
 "Alstonp Joey spat out the name. "Why that old ." He stopped as Krone came down the stairs.
 "Alston's sound asleep, Cap- tain" the patrolman reported.
 Gave him another sleeping pill. The old man was pretty wild for bit there. Crying and carrying on. Mrs. Benthorne was afraid t might affect his heart. Mind If l get a bit of air? Stuffy in here and I might get sleepy"
 Dawson nodded. You were saying, Joey"
 "Ill say plenty before I'm through, Dawson" Joey answered. T got a allbi alright - but I'll forget it.. left the Chateau at il, not 12, like I told you. did want to see Ben- thorne, and you know why. It was easy, with this doorway opening right on the street. That was the way I always came i'll. Benthorne oughta told you about that.
 T was there, all right, and I remember tossing away that cig- aret and stepping on 1t as I came in out of the rain. And then" He stopped as Helen Benthorne returned from the living room.
 II found you & cigaret, Mr, al Toro," she said pleasantly, offer- ing the box. Care for one, Cap- tainP"
 Thanks" Rawson searched his pockets for a match. Got a light, JoeyP"
 A match flared, fiickered out seconds later as Joey lighted his cigaret, inhaled deeply.
 That's three on match" Mrs. Benthorne said lightly. I'm not superstitious. I hope neither of you are"
 Joey laughed hollowly, He should have noticed that.
 Captain Dawson" Mrs. Ben- thorne went on. "I'm sending Jameson In for Miss Johnson - Poor girl. You've probably worn her out with questions, and I know she'd appreciate a litle rest. II will be all right for her to go tc my room, will 1t not?"
 That's thoughtful of you, Mrs Benthorne, under the circum- stances" Dawson wondered If Ara would have been as considcrate Tt will be quite all right. Jame- son will find Miss Johnson in the study"
 I'd like to make Q few tele- phone calls, too, if 1t Is permissible" " Mrs. Benthorne said. There are cer- tain arrangements that must be made"

lost three in a row. Intent upon the game, he failed to notice Mrs. Benthorne's approach. Only when she stood beside him, did he look up, then scramble to his feet.
 Sorry to disturb you, officer" Mrs. Benthorne said. But MT Aston Is quite upset. He's de- manding another sleeping tablet. Will 1t be all right to give 1t to himp"
 Maybe I ought to ask the Cap- tain" Krone ventured, then took matters into his own hands. Sure, Mrs. Benthone, I'll see that your Dad gets his pill. Where are theyp"
 She handed him a small box. T thought you'd prefer to give 1t to him yourself" she explained, with the one he's already taken he should sleep soundly for sev- eral hours"
 Di Torio watched Krone disap- pear into Alston's room, then stood to one side as Mrs. Benthorne start cd down the stairway. I'm sorry to interrupt your game, MT. - Mr."
 "Di Torio," Joey supplied. Nice of her to be so friendly. Well. they were all in the same boat Maybe she shot Benthorne. You haven't got any extra cigaretp" he asked.
 Helen Benthorne laughed. II saw the Captain take yours" she said. "Yes, I'm sure can find you some downstairs. There Is a box full in the living room." She swept past him.
 Cigaret. Joey waited, I wouldn't be his brand -- that special brand but anything would taste good. Daw- son sure had nerve taking his smokes. Why would the copper want themp Then Joey remembered.
 He ran down the steps, pounded on the closed door of the study. Dawson, Dawsop," he called through the panel, "come here. There's something I want to tell you"
 T know now why you wanted my cigarets," Joey began, when Dawson come from the study. Before you start dreaming up any ideas to send me up the river, I want to put you straight on a few things. I was here last night, be- fore Benthorne was killed"
 Dawson grinned. 1T knew that, Joey. At least, I knew you were here"
 "5s':ie cigaret2" al Torio asked.

CHAPTER XV

Dawson waited as his question struck home. Douglas was on his feet at once, to deny the detectives charge, but 1t was evident that his faith in Ara had been shaken.
 "That's crazy" he shouted. Tell him. Ara. I know you could never even think that, much less wanted to come here. It was all my idea
 Miss Johnson has just told us that she detested you when she tirt met you, but she pretended to fall in love with you" Dawson ar- gued. "She came here tonight with the intention of killing her father, but Mrs. Benthorne's untimely in- trusion prevented her Isn't 1t logical to believe that cNe might have changed her pl'. ed you to be- lieve you sugge W ming here sent you to Benthorl' study and then returned through the secret en- trance--2"
 No! Now Ara almost screamed the words She turned to Douglas, "You couldn't you wouldn't be- lieve I could do that to you2"
 
 Tn the first place the setps were uncomfortable. Secondly, Joey want ed . cigaret. Bad enough to be stuck in this house for half day, without e shave, without drink but to have Dawson take his cigarets was just going too far. Perhaps the copper had some new ideas on third de- grOe, new psychological technique, Joey decided. Hall even If Dawson did break down that alibl there was nothing to worry about, balllstics tests would show his gun had not killed Benthorne. He looked Up at Krone, on the step above him, trying to keep awake.
 Got smoke, Kroner Joey ask ed. Dawson took mine"
 Krone shook his head. T could use one too, Joey" he said. This waiting around IS getting on my nerves. Wish Flynn would get back"
 Joey stared at the wall. He tried changing his position so that he might be able to sleep. but the step was too narrow. Match you dimes against your pennies Krone" he suggested, fiipping a coin.
 Krone won the first toss, then
