Clarifying Yourself
By ALICIA HART

wrong places and no glaring pos
ture defects, any woman should
be at her attractive best.
Posture is point number one, of
course. A hollow-chested look
will spoil the effect of a stream
lined ensemble. An exaggerated
hollow in the center of the back
bone, which causes the lower half
of the figure to protrude at front
and back, will mar the picture
which can be achieved with a
tailored suit.
CALL FOR
REGAL BEARING
Simple clothes demand a queenly
bearing. Head must be erect, shout
derS square, chest high, stomach
in and backbone in as straight a
line as possible.
Elimination of bulges is the
next step. Losing weight in spe-
cific spots is matter of proper
exercising. Shining down from
head to foot is a matter of exer-
cising more and eating less. Every
woman owes it to her friends, hus-
band and family and, more impor-
family, to herself to remain reason
ably slender through the years.
Right now, with a season of slim,
trim fashions coming up, is a per-
feet time for her to face facts about
her figure.

EVEN A NEWSPAPER DOCTORS
LIFE IS NOT HIS OWN

EVEN A NEWSPAPER DOCTOR'S
LIFE IS NOT HIS OWN
Before I learned that a doctor
might live without working never
decided which I'd rather do or go
fishing, for at the last moment the
Farenos or the Humberts would In
variably think they were going to
have another baby. The ideal fam
lily doctor seems to be one who can
never be depended on to keep an
engagement outside Of his practice
except his own funeral.
In the talk the other day entitled
'@The Anoxia Blues" I promised to
discuss effects of slight carbon mon
oxide anoxia some day later. This
is later day. No, frankly I don't
care for fishing any more. Why kill
harmless living things for sport?
But please don't mention the bowl
ing green until I finish these talks
on anoxia.
Inhalation of air polluted with
slight traces of carbon monoxide
produces tightness across the fore
head or sensation Of band con-
stricting the head, throbbing head
ache, flushing Of skin.
Inhalation Of air more heavily
polluted with co produces the
symptoms mentioned plus weakness
in the knees, some mental confusion,
perhaps nausea and fainting.
If the individual remains in the
polluted atmosphere still longer the
nausea may increase to the degree
of vomiting, and roaring in the ears
accompanies collapse.
At this stage the victim, if alone,
may still have enough sense or will
power to respond to the alarm and
escape, but If the breathing of the
polluted air continues the victim
soon becomes more confused, unable
to think clearly, even a bit irrational
or unreasonable If others try to res
cue him. If alone he is likely to
lapse into Inconsistencies and die
when the blood becomes go per cent
or more saturated with monoxide.
The effects described are seen only
in cases of very mild anoxia.
Where actual casing occurs, from
exposure to atmosphere grossly pol
luted with co, kind of paralysis
may come upon the victim after a
few breaths, so that he freezes, -
that is, becomes unable to move,
and unless rescued Immediately, dies
of respiratory paralysis.

STATE

Ending this evening at Warmers
State theater is the comedy sensa-
ton "His Girl Friday" co-starring
Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell;
also give Little Peppers At Home"
with Edith Fellows and large cast.
Murder, disappearance, thrills and
chills will fill the State screen to-
morrow afternoon when the thrilling
perturbation of The Return OF Dr..
x" arrives at that theater.
Starring Wayne Morris, Rosemary
Lane, Humphrey Bogart and Der
mis- Morgan it is judged as superior
in every respect to Frankenstein,
Mr. Hyde and other thrill films. And
Just in case you may be the scary
type it is suggested that you strap
yourself in your seat as you may be
jolted right into the middle of the
aisle as the sinister DR.. x Yields his
scalpel upon innocent and unsus-
pecting victims.
Without revealing anything that
may detract from the mystery as it
is unfolded in the film story, we can
tell you that Humphrey Bogart is
the william. And when better Williams
are played We'll wager that Bogart
will play them. With the aid of a
makeup which succeeds in making
him look completely bloodless he is
shown at the beginning of the film
as the lab assistant to a famous
blood specialist.
The Sleuthing efforts of a young
newspaper reporter played by
Wayne Morris and his inferno friend
played by Dennis Morgan in track
ing down the mysterious murderer
Of several victims eventually lead to
him. They discover that he is none
other than the notorious DR.. Xavier
who was electrocuted a number Of
years ago and has been brought

@. Can eggs be frozen in the shell?
A. Experiments were conducted
several years ago, in England, and
the results were generally favorable
if there was enough air space in the
shell, other wise the shell broke when
it's contents were frozen. Another
objection to the process was that
the frozen egg white got slightly
"leathery" when it was thawed.

A sensational five-run rally in the
eighth brought Flood from behind
after it apparently had lost to D.

Sonny McHale, Flood third sacker,

feat matched by De Vers.
The much-heralded pitching duel
between Billy Fisher and Joe Wells
failed to materialize in the Naiman-

Her position was more or less OF
a tribute to her unflagging support
of club teams. for Potomac clinched
the association championship by
placing second in the first 1our-
cared gig race. The Washington
crewmen didn't win single race. but
that one second place assured them
of an overall point total-accum

Ralph Bogart. the 20-year-old
Congressional and Army Navy Club
youngster, will attempt to make 1t

but Ralph will have to overcome a

accomplish the feat. Roger Peacock,
Volney Burnett, Bobby Brownell,
Billy Shea, Parker Nolan and a few
others are not exactly pushovers.
Bogart has been campaigning in the
North and has been back in Wash
ington only a few days.

CHAPTER XI.
Continued.

One last crate was loaded onto the
truck and securely fastened. Then
the great metal doors were shut
with a sound like the changing of a
bell.
Toms car! She remembered it,
parked around the corner. And
she hoped against hope that he
hadn't locked it this time.
Hugo Blake climbed into the cab.
she heard the roar of the motor
starting. Quickly and quietly as a
cat she ran back through the dark
ened building, down the stairs from
the office. past the old watchman
and out through the yard
Toms car was still there, the
street was otherwise deserted. Nam
cy Thorne slid into the drivers
seat, found the ignition unlocked
and started the motor, and sat
waiting for the great truck to ap-
pear.
In moment she saw it, turning
out into the street. She waited until
IL had gone past and then turned
after it, keeping a safe distance
behind.
After a half-hour of driving they
were out on the highway. 1t was
harder to follow the truck now
without arousing the suspicion of its
driver. She kept just close enough
to keep its tail lights in sight.
What was Blake going to do?
Those dies made in the Bristow
plant were undoubtedly correct ac-
cording to specifications. Somehow
between there and their destina-
ton some change was to be made.
But what? That was what she had
to find out.
An hour passed. Where was the
truck going Detroit, she remem-
bered was its ultimate destination.
But there was to be some stop on
the way.
Turn to Side Road.
Suddenly the truck turned of the
main highway, onto a side road
She followed it as close as she dared.
The truck made another turn, and
another, going at last up a little
narrow country road. She drove
on past the road, went for a half
mile and stopped. Finally she
