told of how the work began and
her contacts with over three hum

fact that they tried to lay a broad
foundation upon the interest of
many people throughout the Dis
trict rather than the support Of a
few. She pointed out how the Y.
W. C. A. helps in the development
Of the finer aspects of life, and the
littleness Of many people who have
not been under the influence of
such ideals and training. She clos

Beauties
Show Signs
OF Life
By CHARLES GENTRY

4 FACE is no longer a girls
~ fortune in Hollywood, and
beauties have got Ito do some
thing more than just bat their
eyclashcs at the camera If they
expect 10 hang on 10 a screen
career.
Time was when a famous and
photogenic face could occupy
more space in a picture than the
plot. and while the customer al
ways had a lovely view-right
profile, eyes lowered, etc.-the
scenery got little monotonous.
Two examples of the change
are presented in first-run screens
this week at the Fox and Mlchi-
gan. Mariene Dietrich used TO
80 faScinate the Cameraman with
her exotic features that fire.
uuently a Dietrich movie was
lust a series of stills or posed
portraits. Joseph Won Sternberg
was chiefly responsible for this.
and whether he did because OF
the ladys ravishing appearance
or whether he was afraid 10 let
her act will always be a matter
of conjecture.

Coming TO Life

Looking at Madeline on the
screen used to be like looking
at her through a stereoptican.
She was there. but nothing hap
pened. In "One Night in Lis
bon we think they must have
given this "icey" blonde a good
hot cup of adrenelin. She rolls
on the floor. makes love like she
meant it and generally cuts up
10 such an extent that we can
hardly believe that this is the
girl who made her leading men
wear Winter overcoats and gave
directors such a chill they had
TO come on the set with small
cans of Sterno.
The PygmalionS of the movie
industry are finally convinced
that their gorgeous GalateaS
have got TO snap out of it, UNI
less they expect the patrons TO
fall into the same kind Of coma.

West Jefferson Will Play
Austinville Here On Friday
And Moraviian Falls Sunday

Bad weather interviewed yester-
day to prevent the game between
west Jefferson and Austinville
from being played off but the
Caps will have an opportunity to
show their stuff before a large
holiday crowd tomorrow as the
game will be moved up to allow
entertainment for the people who
do not wish to go out Of town for
the 4th. The game will begin at
4:3O promptly.
The Caps, fresh from a weeks
layoff are scheduled to take on
a strong aggregation from Mo-
ravian Falls this coming Sunday
on the local field.
This is the first Sunday game
the local crew has had on its
docket so far this season. The
Falls outfit is reported to be
strong and this will be attested
to by the fact that they have par
t1clpated in Is games and have
been on the red side of the book
only once so far this season. The
game is scheduled to start at 2:3O.
E For the last two or three games
the Caps have been minus their
playing manager Paul Perkins,
but this hasn't seemed to hinder
their winning streak as they have
bowled over Sparta and Indepen-
dence since his leave of absence,
with the opposition raking only
one run in the combined games,
Sparta being completely BANKED,

In the standings up to last

JOIN THE army BEHIND THE ARMY

One thing upon which we Americans all agree is
that our boys in uniforms shall be well treated
We expect Uncle Sam to provide food, clothing
and shelter for the in his service and to
recreational and religious facilities within the training
camps and naval stations.
But Uncle Sam has the right to expect the rest of
look after their welfare when they leave the mill
tary reservations, seeking relaxation and entertain
ment.
These boys in uniforms visit towns their
camps, not knowing where to go what to do They
stand aimlessly the street corners lonely and friend
less the likely victims of the unscruplOus who would
exploit them commercially and morally.
To meet this need, than three hundred
vice club buildings will be erected and operated in
communities adjacent to the camps and training sta
tons. The building services will include lounges read
ing and writing facilities game rooms light refresh
ments overnight sleeping accommodations if required;
provisions for meeting and social functions. The inten
ton is to provide friendly attractive and homeke
clubhouse" atmosphere for service men and their
guests
The Buildings will be provided by the govern
ment,, but the management will be civilian. This will
enable the in service to mingle with civilian life,
free of government supervision.
