ture, Land of Liberty" 1t was
more than a quarter century in
the making, cost incalculable
millions, and boasts a cast of
more than 10000, headed by
dozens of top-fight stars. Cecil
De Mile assembled it.
It's an all-industry picture. It
was assembled from scenes of liz
feature pictures, dozens of news
reels, shorts and documentary films,
dating from the present day back
before 1.-THE Birth of a Nation"
Spectacles include practically ev-
cry great moment in our history,
from the battles of Bunker Hill and
Lexington, of the Alamo and Gettys-
burg. to the beginning of World War
No. 2.
Some Of the matching" OF scenes
from different pictures is remark
able. One instance covers a mine
disaster, the first part of which was
taken from De Miles Dynamite"
produced in 1929, and the second
part from news reel shot of an
actual event, taken in 1887.
This Is stirring document, as
well as a great human one, far more
important than a mere motion pic
ture. The producers receive no
revenue from Land of Liberty
rental receipts beyond cost of dis
tribution will be devoted to war
emergency welfare work.

Do you look totoard marriage pith
an idealistic and romantic viewpoint?
Please DON'T" says Kathleen Norris,
Tor marriage is one OF the eye.openers

jars, shocks, pinprick, il is I'm.

and quite another when the respon-
sibilities of married life have set
tied upon him. Your extravagant
sweetheart may not turn out to be
merely reasonble in what he spends
upon you, as husband, he may be
penurious. The night-club-loving
man often is the home-staying hus-
band. The man who fused so long
and so anxiously about not wanting
to see too much of your family, may
become as devoted to your people
as you are. The husband who
doesn't particularly care for chill
dren will be the most devoted of
fathers; the dreamy unsuccessful
man who couldn't hold a job turns
out to be a genius, and surprisingly
gives you fame and wealth.
Nothing is practicable about mar
riage except that it is unpredictable.
II it is contracted between two rea-
sonably agreeable and adaptable
persons, a man and woman with
some generosity of spirit, with at
least the intention of making it
success, it can develop from the
young passion and Commissions and
surprises of the honeymoon into the
finest, deepest and truest relation
ship human beings ever will know.
What True Marriage Means.
1t can mean that in all the years
to come the bond only draws closer
and dearer. That the man comes
home at night to gentleness, under
standing, affection; that the woman
grows slowly but steadily to feel
that she need fear no crisis, no
shock or sorrow in her life as long
as Phil is beside her to help her
face it. Years OF companionship
make marriage, and happy marriage
is attaInable By - couples out of
every 100. II they bot knew Il True
marriage me-S ga I'D sor-
rows shared. = and
fatigues and crises and responsibility
ties shared. picnics and anniversa-
ries, the successful dinner party. the
unsuccessful dinner party. illness in
the house, money worry. the raise
In salary, vacations, visitors-and
always the same man and woman,
planning for them, talking them
over, building between them the
strong web Of married friendship.
When a woman says to me: from
the very beginning Ned has been the
sweetest, the gentlest, the most con
siderate Of men. There's never had
to be any adjustment, any conces-
slons on my part. We we're sweet
hearts Is years ago and we are
sweethearts today" she is saying as
much for herself as for her Ned.
She is saying I'VE were both fine
gentle, reasonable human beings.
disciplined into consideration and
wisdom before we were ever mar
ried."
A lovely woman was praising her
husband after 16 years of wedlock
in terms that brought tears to her
eyes and his.
Il was founding" she told me
later, for the first 10 years of my
life had nothing and nobody be-
longing to me. hungered for home,
for love, for a chance to live. Char
ley was my bosses son when I had
factory job, he had been crippled
and we thought he could not live. But
he did live, and he got well, and all
our happy years followed"
In other words, she told me that
she and Charley had both been to
the hard school of life, and had
learned some of its lesson before
marriage and not after it.

Watch Charms Made
From Peaches Sell
Like Hot Cakes

A walk down Hutchinson
(KansO street and some keen OBJ
servation have netted Robert An
derson, 13, lot of spending money.
Robert was going to friends
home when he saw a man wearing,
as a watch charm, small basket
made from a peach stone. Two
quarter sections of the seed had been
cut away. with the center ridge left
as handle. The inner kernel had
been removed from top and bottom,
leaving a perfectly shaped basket.
The mans watch chain ran through
the opening between the handle and
the rest of the basket.
That gave Robert an idea. He
and another boy promptly went into
the business They painted or var
nished the charms. The only equip
ment necessary was a small saw, a
file, paint and brush.
They sell like hot cakes" Robert
says. "One week we sold between 65

Injuries which seem minor can
prove serious if they are not cared
for properly. Here are some simple
remedies for several of the more
common mishaps:
If you get bitten on an arm or
leg by a dog, cat or snake, tie
cloth tightly between the wound
and your body. Apply iodine on the
opening. You can probably identify
a snake as poisonous or non-poison-
Gus. but if there is any doubt at
all (and always in the case OF cats
and dogs lose no time getting to
doctor.
Never open a blister. Apply hot
water.
An earache can be relieved by the
application of a cloth which has
been dipped in a solution of hot
water and a few drops of alcohol,
then wrung out.
Should you get a bruise, apply
very cold water, arnica, witchhazel
or vinegar diluted with water. Then
use hot compresses.
If a person is choking, slap him
on the back. If this doesn't help

one end and an opening at the other.
The glass end floats in the water.
BY putting his face down close to
the open end, an observer is able to
cut out most of the reflections. This
enables him to see we'll below the
surface.
This apparatus can be used every
where there is reasonably clear
water. To build one, you'll need
four pieces of board (all the same
sizeD, one square of clear window
glass, nails, canoe cement, dull black
paint and marine paint.
A box 8 inches high and inches
square at the top and bottom is the
minimum size for good, workable
outfit A water glass, however, can
be almost any size you choose to
make it.
Cut four pieces of board the same
length and width. Ask at your local
lumber yard about the proper type
of wood to be used. Before mailing
the boards together, paint the in
ward side of each board dull black.
This will keep the inside of the

Girls are supposed to be fright
ened by mice, but not Helen and
Margaret Smith, 18year-old twins
who graduated from Wilson High
School in June Mice are their busl-
ness.
1t was almost a year ago that the
Smith twins read an article in The
Junior Star about Ernestine Rolls,
Is, of Roosevelt High School, and
her sister Rosemary, u, raising and
selling mice. The twins thought 1t
q good idea and headed for pet
shop. They bought eight white and
black mice and put them in cages.
Mice are salable at the minimum
age of four weeks, and at the end
of the first three months the twins
little brood had grown so that they
had sold over dozen mice to the
District Health Department, which
uses them for experimental pur-
poses. The first sale netted Helen
and Margaret the tidy sum OF SIS.
Since then they have averaged
about 4 dozen mice a week, often
much more, and now have over 100
mice sin stock" so to speak, in
the basement of their home at 36l5
Chesapeake street NV.
The girls found that there was vlr-
tually no overhead in raising mice,

Vases or VaWSeS-
They Make Money
For Florida Girl

Call them vases or call them vaw-
ses, they're still worth money to
Phoebe Gray. Even though they
don't start as vases, or vawSes, but
simply as jelly jars.
Phoebe collects empty jars from
her neighbors in Jacksonville, Fla,
where she gets her mail at box 3O2,
Route 7. Then she selects the ones
with unusual shapes.
"I paint them different colors, y
she explains. Sometimes 1 put
flowers on them. too" Maybe you
could call the ones with flowers
vawses. At any rate, they sell for
IS cents, while the others go for a
dime.
What does she do with the
money? Il pay my school fees every
month she says. And she has
enough left to buy her school clothes
and help her mother with the house
hold expenses,
