 The story follows in intensely dramatic fashion the exploits of Carole Lombard as a courageous, altruistic nurse whose life is de- voted to her noble work and to her younger. less sacrificing sister, played by Anne Shirley. Brian Aherne is ideally cast as clever surgeon whose romance with Miss Lombard -counterpoints the more starkly dramatic episodes and cul- inmates in the fusing of the twain's high ideals, ambitions and destinies.
 A striking departure from her aforementioned comedy character izations, Miss Lombard's portrayal of the self-sacrificing angel Of mergy ranks as one of the most compelling dramatic interpretations ever offered on the screen. The

THE RIGHT OF RELlEFERS
TO ENGAGE IN POLITICS

Fortunately for all concerned, the
state senate cut out OF It's relief bill am
endment Il provision which would have
prevented all relief clients from engag-
ing in political activity.
AT first blush it might seem logical TO
prevent Il person who IL living on pubic
money from engaging in politics TO M
crease the amount Of money he gets,
or TO elect men TO office lie knows Wlll
favor bigger, better and more relief.
But if the senate is going to do that,
and be logical about il. il will also have
to enact law preventing any business
man who does business with the state
government, and so receives money from
it, from engaging in political activity.
The Workers Alliance. against which
the proposal was aimed, is Il vicious or
ganization, entirely un-Amerlcan doml-
mated by Communist doctrines. But II
would be just as un-American TO sup
press the Workers Alliance by taking
his political rights away from every poor
devil who happens to be broke and hun
CRY.
We will never get away from class
warfare by enacting laws which dlscrm-
mate against one class of people. Under
the American system, the man on relief
has lust as much right TO say what he

is to remain a democracy, we must retain
that system.
Not by legislation. but by telling the
people of iN aims and desires. will We
get rid of the Workers Alliance Attempt
to legislate il out of existence, and We
make its leaders into martyrs. Rldicule
it out of existence, and il will die :, sud

the WAR BRINGS HOME
HOME TO BRITISH

Most results Of war are bad, but the
people Of Great Britain are finding one
good result Of the war with Germany
1t has brought home to them the pleas
ures of home.
The gasoline shortage, nightly black
outs, reduction Of public and private
transportation, fewer parties and public
entertainment facilities-all these have
forced upon the British family the nee
essity of living at home and liking 1t.
The result correspondents report, is
heightened interest in family life, an
increase in demand for good books and
games, livelier tone to conversation
and in general a greater application OF
individual talents toward family enter
tainment.
Home to the English, because of the
war, is no longer a place TO change
clothes en- route from business TO par
ty, or from one party TO another. 1t is
place of entertainment and Of sanctu-
ary 1t is place to relax, 10 play and
to learn.
The British. in other words, are reds-
covering their homes.
1t might be a good thing for Ameri-
cans to do the same thing - without
benefit of a war, of course. We should
be intelligent enough TO realize that our
OWH stature, Oui o"n culture anu ou'
own happiness would be increased
thOusandfold by greater attention to our
homes
1t is sign os mental incompetency
when we must be forever going some
place, forever doing something along
with a crowd Of other people, in order
to keep up our spirits.
