STATE

You'll have to hurry if you intend to see the double smash bill cur rently at the Warner Bros. State theater because performances to- morrow evening mark the closing performances. Headlining the bill is Moon Over Burma" with Doro- thy Lamour, Robert Preston and Preston Foster in the leading roles; also Wayne Morris in '"The Quar- terback."
 And then starting Wednesday the State will present another double feature triumph with Arise, My Love" with Claudette Colbert and Ray Midland sharing starring honors.
 The picture has been hailed as one of the truly great romantic ad- venture films of all time. Its hsro- inc is a hard-hitting girl reporter who has cancelled of love because 1t stands ln the way of her career Its hero an insouciant flying fool, who stakes his life on ideals. The scene the hectic, crowded canvas of Europe today.
 The film swoops into action from the first with Claudette snatching Midland from firing squad death in Spain, flying with him over into France with army planes in pur- suit. It blossoms into love story in the delightfully."- directed sequence in Paris, eliminating in a hilarious episode in which Claudette locks her shoes in safe to prevent Mil- lands walking away with her heart.
 The breaking of the war finds them madly in love with each other anx- ious to flee to the safety of Amer lea. But their ship is sunk and Claudette and Ray land on the Irish shore with the bitter determination to join in the fray.
 The rest of the picture is devoted to the showing how their love changes in the crucible of the war, and builds up gradually to the in- tensely emotional climax in which they decide to return to America.
 Others in the brilliant cast in- clude Walter Abel, Dick Purcell, Dennis O'Keefe, Esther Dale and George Zucco.
 On the same big show will be Always a Bride" with Rosemary Lane in the leading role.

A warning, issued from the Sc
lective service headquarters by
Major John H. Derrick, Judge
Advocate Generals department
to all registrants filling out ques-
tionnaires, is published herewith.
1t speaks for itself.
at seems that some men are max
ing false claims for deferment by
misstating answers to certain parts
of their missionaries For example,
a Minneapolis local board reported
recently that one of their registrants
stated on his QUESTIONABLE that he
was the sole support of his father
and mother. Suspecting that some of
the statements were incorrect, the
local board called the registrant for
a personal appearance before them,
reminding the registrant that he was
under oath to tell the truth and that
he was subject to penalty unless the
truth were told. The board then asked
the registrant if he was satisfied with
all his answers. When confronted
with the information that penalties
could and would be exacted for de-
liberately falsifying his QUESTIONABLE
the registrant had change of heart
and revealed that his father had an
income exceeding five thousand dol
lars year and was, in fact, fully sup
porting the registrant's mother.
SIN brief, the warning is this: Do
not try to avoid service by false or
misleading information. Claims are
all Investigated, and when such cases
are discovered, penalties will be APP
piled swiftly and severely"

Christmas Centerpieces.

The centerpiece for the dining
room table is very important part
of the Christmas decorations. For
something distinctive and very lovely,
have series of three, five, or seven
candles banked with evergreen. No,
that long coveted candelabrum is not
necessary.
For the candelabrum you can make,
use a piece of two-by-four or four
by-four; the longer the table, the
more candles to be used, and thus
the longer must be the original piece
of lumber With a bit-and-brace,
bore holes of the desired diameter
and about one-half inch deep every
five inches. Finally, paint the holder

Civilized!

On Tuesday of this week, according
to the calendar, it was 81 years since
the Wright Brothers made that first
epochal airplane flight at Kitty Hawk,
N. c. According to the dictionary 1t
was made in 1905. In either case, 1t
is only few short years ago since
man began conquest of the air with
heavier than-air machines.
Flight through the air has been
wonder to mankind since the early
cavemen longed for the freedom of
the birds, the ease and speed with
which they travelled, and the safety
they enjoyed away from the dangers
that infested the earth. Down through
the ages man has studied, observed
and tried to emulate his feathered
friends but could not gain mastery
of the air, except for clumsy balloons,
until recent years when the Wright
Brothers, Langley and other pioneers
led the way.
If they had not found the secret
of flight some one else, sooner or
later, would have done so. The main
thing is that the airplane had to be
"discovered' to satisfy mankind just
as everything else since the dawn
of history.
The early pioneers in the world of
aviation could not see 1910. If they
could would they have continued with
their labors on flimsy machines that
gave way to the powerful bomberS
of today, the speedy pursuit and
fighting planes? Early man dreamed
of flight as means of escape; his
descendants today look upon the
fulfllment of this wish as a bird OF
prey, that destroys his cities, his
homes and his loved ones. Inventive
genius is used today to sow destruc-
ton and death. Cities and struc-
lures, works of priceless art, that took
years to create are destroyed in mo-
ment in hail of explosion and steel
Science may advance and will con-
tinue onward but what of mankind!
The same primeval lust to kill, in
bred for thousands of years, still
turks deep in the hearts of men, anc
war following war continues, spread
ing woe in a troubled world.
We may pick up paper today anc
read of the work of science in curb.
ing or curing some certain disease
and we marvel at the skill of medica
science. We read in the next item
of the havoc wrought by new typ,
of bomb. We donate our pennies TO
worthy cause, the purchase o
Christmas seals for the elimination
of tuberculosis, saving hundreds o
lives annually, while at the same TIM
innocent children are being torn ant
manned in an air raid on a defense
less town.
Man is tickle creature aiding ant
abetting science for his own destruc
ton. We may be scientific" but w
are not civilized. The wild beasts il
the forests are brave and clean com
pared to modern mankind.

or cover it with red, green, or silver
paper and the candelabrun1 is made.
If Maltese-cross arrangement is
preferred, have shorter lengths ex-
tend from the center on either side of
the longer piece.
When graduated C n les aren't
available, cut the thick ends of tapers
to make them the desired length.
They will stand securely in the bored
holes if the ends are melted bit
before they are forced into place. To

branches of evergreen around it. Tiny
red Christmas-tree balls, or "snow"
scattered throughout, catch the light
and make lovely decoration.
