ION YOUR TOES" BILLED SUNDAY
 FOR COLISEUM

On Your Toes" the Warner Bros. dance comedy, which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, marks the highly suspicious return to the screen of the lovely and graceful Zorina and the charm ingly humorous Eddie Albert.
 The new Warner picture is, of course, an adaptation of the high ly successful musical comedy of the same name which was written by Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hait and George Abbott, and the screen version called upon the talents of four able scenarists, Jerry Wald, Richard Macaulay, Sig Herzig and Lawrence Riley.
 It still tells essentially the same story of the bewildered American youth who, through a comic series of accidents, finds himself the male star of mad Russian ballet troupe which also bewildered by what is happening-finds itself try ing to present jazz ballet" Featured tonight for the last times is the double attraction Tn si6e Story" and Sweepstakes Win ner."

 James Stewart

Marlene Dietrich in the role of frontier entertainer co-stars with lanky James Stewart in Universafs "Destry Rides Again" which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre.

erations interfere with getting
the Army and the Navy into the
best possible shape as quickly as
that can be done.
Congress, apparently, is not
concerned whether Democrats or
Republicans do the job of getting
the United States in shape to de-
fend itself. The most surprising
thing that has happened on Capt.
toll Hill is the complete accept
ance by Congress of the naval
program presented by Admiral
Stark. Until the Admiral had de-
monstrated the need of going
much further than the President
had asked, nobody dreamed we
would commit ourselves, almost
without debate, to a four billion
dollar plan to increase the Ameri-
can navy by 70 percent.
No Opposition
buI Tile LWO-OCSd11 navy P1oAA
went through the House Of Rep
resentatives with hardly a dis
senting vote. That doesn't mean
a complete new navy over night.
It is a five-year-program, but the
time to start it is now. Within
an hour after the President had
signed the bill authorizing the
earlier navy increases he had re-
quested, contracts had been let
for 225 new war craft of all sizes
That is how fast things are NOV
ing. The vision of a fleet of So
900 fighting planes in year OF
so seems more like reality. Enor-
nous increases in plane and en-
CINE construction are under way
The members of the Advisory
Board on National Defense, es'
pecially Messrs. Knudsen anc
Stettinius, are putting in twelve
hour days, sometimes longer, get

They, at least, are not letting

T. T. Brown, Extension Service

may be detected by observing her
head closely. When production

day and storing them in cool,
moist, well-ventilated basement
or cellar.

About the glOrieS of the PAST.
Specialists of N. G. State Col
lege make the following recon-
mendations for carrying out mo-
del farming during the month of
July:
Mr.. Kimt said that if the rush
of other work has delayed the
lanting of sufficient hay
crops, there is still time to get a
fair to good crop of hay from Su-
dan grass, millet and cowpeas if
the sowing is completed by July
Is.
Hot weather proves a trying
time for cows, says Extension
Service Dairyman John Arey. Not
only is there a variation in the
quantity of feed furnished by
pasture, but flies and the heat
add to the cows discomfort. Net
result is extreme difficulty in
maintaining a uniform milk flow
at this time.
In furnishing relief, Mr.. Arey
urges that places where cows are
kept during the hotter part of
the day be provided with plenty
of shade and an ample supply Of
fresh water. Then, too,, combat
the fly menace, especially by des-
troying sources of breeding pla-
ces. Sprays and traps will also
help.
Enos Blair, Extension agrono-
mist, says see that small grain is
thoroughly dry before it is
threshed. If there is the slightest
hint Of dampness, spread it out
and stir twice a day until it has
dried out completely. After the

"Good Books Good Friends'

November 10 to 16 is the week desig-
mated as BOOK WEEK. Exhibits and
special programs will be features of its
observance in our schools, libraries,
clubs and bookstores. This national
effort to bring boys and girls and books
together; to impress upon parents and
others the place of books in the broad
educational process, has for many years
had the active support of our teachers,
librarians, social agencies and civic
groups. Among the national associa-
lions participating annually in BOOK
WEEK observance are Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Boys
Clubs, Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., American
University Women, P.-T.A. and
Women's Clubs.
THERE'S challengein BOOKWEEK
for every thoughtful American. In any
program looking toward greater oppor-
tunity for our young people, books go
hand finland with education. Let
BOOK WEEK be an occasion to visit
your child's school, see its equipment
and understand its methods; to give
thought to your community and its
book facilities, to your home library
and your child's companions in books.
