CAGED WOMEN
 WANT FREEDOM
 AT 10TH CENTURY
Women Without Names Stars Ellen Drew and
 Robert Paige

Women Without Names opens tonight at the 20th Century Thea tre with a cast featuring Ellen Drew, Robert Paige, Judith Barrett, Louise Beavers and John Milan.
 This picture is concerned with the idea that bad associates lead to misfortune, and develops that theme in manner calculated to rank it as outstanding entertain ment. Choosing lovely young lady as the chief protagonist of t h e story, it shows how a criminal ex- husband brings misfortune to her after she has found happiness in the arms of another man.
 At the inception, Miss Drew meets Robert Paige, falls in love with him, and naturally enough marries him. Their happiness is short-liyed. for just as they make ready to depart on their honey moon her ex kills detective .n her apartment. The only other wit ness, a jealous girl friend of her ex, gets away with the murderer.
 To add to the young couples misfortune. they are prosecuted by an Assistant D.A. He secures con- vietions on the evidence of their presence at the scene of the crime, and they are sentenced-death Cor the boy and life imprisonment for the girl.
 The young couple plead their in- nocence, but their pleas are de- nied. Into the welter of misfortune comes a ray of light in Judith Bar rett, the ex's girl friend. At first she is antagonistic toward Miss Drew, but after much bitterness and hair-pulling, she yields to a panicky conscience, and wants to confess.
 Unreasonably, the Assistant D.A. refuses to listen to her confession, but in the long run, a way is found by the young ladies of the big house to make a break, lead ing to a romantic fadeout

Soap Box Derby Give,
Boy Chance 10 Use
His Ingenuity
Entrants Working Out
Novel Methods Of
Completing Racers

The Soap Box Derby, besides being
o thrilling race, furnishes a hrst-
class opportunity for boys to figure
out new ways, to arrive at the old
familiar goals.
One sample of youthful ingenuity
Is outlined in the sketch of a Soap
Box Derby steering wheel and shaft
accompanying this article. Ever since
the Derby was started in Washing
ton three years ago by The Evening
Star and the American Legion, boys
have been coming up with novel
ideas.
One year boy used a duckpin

and-socket arrangement for q NOV
able front axle. Last year a young
ster, looking for some method Of
providing springing system for his
Derby racer. built the frame of his
car on old inner tubes, and another
used the sole of tennis shoe for
the braking surface of a drag brake.
Some of the most ingenious ideas
are brewing right now in homes all
over the Washington metropolitan
area. Two schemes-one in Wash
ington, and the other in Virginia
involve entirely different methods OF
spring suspension. The orginators,
however, imposed the greatest sec
recy about these inventions, refusing
to allow them to be released until
It's too late for any one to copy
them.
Suggestion From Manassas.
From Manassas, Va, came the
idea for homemade steering wheel.
One of the boys there plans to use
the solid wood bottom of an aban-
doned peach crate as the wheel. AS
the official Derby rules require a
metal steering shaft. and as the fix
ing of the shaft to the wheel pro-
vided quite problem, he evolved the
scheme shown in the accompanying
drawing.
The length of the 1-inch pipe
depends upon how long the steering
shaft is to be. With the pipe placed
in q wise, the slots may be sawed
exactly 80 degrees apart. The
sawed sections may then be bent
down so that the arms form a rude
cross. Holes are made in the ends
OF the arms on the pipe, and SIM
liar holes are bored in the solid
wood wheel. Put together, the wood
Is bolted to the pipe and q sturdy
steering wheel and shaft is the
result, with everything conforming
TO the rules.
