The Quality of Mercy

Whatever comes, the United States always be
proud that its people gladly and freely gave $270000oO
to relieve the suffering
That is the total relief to all countries extended by
through the Red Cross alone and of other relief
activities would multiply that total many times.
For this the American people expect return; there
Is no political aspect TO it, expectation of influencing
events IL is the simple spontaneous reaction of people
whose heart has failed to be touched by suffering
no matter where by whom.

Adverse planetary influences

Heart and Homes: Women are

with certain amount Of re-

The ships passage from IN.

deck while his ship was wracked
in the fury of the hurricane.
When his mates were recover

ate hurts and fatigue, Capt.
Quick was the only officer about
for q days. The terrible weather
kept the vessel continually short
handed while the sailors healed
their wounds as best they could;
Capt. Quick went sloft and
worked his ship with the rest.
Stores dwindled and scurvy

Once the Edward Sewall was
500 miles into the Pacific, and
few days later was 40 miles
back into the Atlantic.
A total OF 81 days and 1900
miles OF grim struggle with the

of the ships passage through
the Straits of Magellan before
she could stand off to the north

The ailments and misery Of

POlI'S

By rights report of Gone with the Wind" which opened this morning at the Loew Poli Theater, should be merely the statement: The greatest picture ever made-in every detail.
 There are so many superlatives about this picture which David O.. Selmick has so finely produced and Victor Fleming so humanly and amazingly directed, that one ap- breaches the task of reporting the event of the pictures showing here with fear that words are wholly inadequate and that the limitations of space prevent praise for everyone concerned.
 Gone With the Wind" is the most faithful Animation of a novel the screen has ever attempted. Every word, character and event in Margaret Mitchell's dramatic story lives on the screen. It contains un- doubtedly the most beautiful and breath-taking Technicolor photog- raphy conceivable.
 Clark Gable, is naturally, a per- feet Rhett Butler. That much was to be expected and it's the greatest acting job he's ever done. Vivien Leigh is wholly Scarlett OHara. She is the greatest find in a decade, definitely an overnight star. Les lie Howard is outstanding and On- via de Havilland surpasSes any, thing shes ever done. Those are the stars; for the others, one phrase will cover their performance-ideal cast ing and brilliant acting. Among the featured players who shine bril- liantly are Thomas Mitchell, Hattie McDaniel. Barbara O'Neil, Ona Munson. Laura Hope Crews, Carroll Nye, Harry Davenport, Alicia Rhett, Rand Broks, Evelyn Reyes, Ann Rutherford, Butterfly Mcqueen, Oscar Polk, Victor Jory, Eddie An derson, Fred Crane, George Reeves, Jane Darwell and Everett Brown.
 Gone With the Wind" gives the screen a dignity it has never known before. The picture will be remem- bered as long as men and women can still think and speak. The cur rent engagement of Gone With the Wid" at the Loew Poli theater pre- sents the picture in its complete version, exactly as shown in pre- vious roadshow engagements-noth- ing cut but the price.
 The usual continuous performance policy prevails during the showing of Gone With the Wind" You can come anytime between II a. m. and goo D. m. and see the complete picture Matinee prices are 4Oc; children under 12-matinees only, 25c; evenings are 55c. These prices include all taxes. Don't miss "oGne With the Wino' for to see it is an unforgettable experience in the life of every film lover.

Philadelphia Team Loses Title After ThreeYear Reign
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

Meet the new championSi For the past three years the Philadel- phia team of Mrs. R. c. Young, Charles H. Goren, John R. Craw- ford and Charles J. Solomon have held the national open team-of-four title. Ironically, they lost it in their own home city to the team of Jeff Click of Miami, Fla, Worry J. Click and Harry Feinberg of Cleveland, and Louis Newman of Washington, D. c.
 This team took the lead in the first session and remained out in front in all three sessions. The tie for third place.
 The new champions are all ex- ceptionally fine card players. I have always recognized Harry F'ein- berg as one of the outstanding play CTS of the country, and today's hand proves it.
 The ace of spades won the first trick and dummy led a spade which Femberg (North) riffed. At first sight straight croGS-run of the black suits seemed indicated. Fein- berg led low club to the king. When the queen fell, he had to de- eide whether this was a false card. It was not, he could not continue clubs without losing the contract through ruff.
 Feinberg decided to play safe. He led third spade from dummy and ruffed with the king of trump6. A

PROTRUDING CHIN

MILAN
 Most persons who have had den- tai work have learned that i'll the natural ''bite" or occlusion the up- per and lower teeth do not meet end to end but instead the upper teeth when the jaws close are slightly outside of the lower teeth all around. Thus if one wishes to bite thread in two it is necessary to thrust the lower jaw forward somewhat in or der to pinch and cut the thread between the incisors- Not that I advise such use of the teeth-but if you can't bite thread or crack 8 nut with your teeth on occasion your nutritional condition is probably below par and you ought to do some- thing about it, both for conserva- tion of your teeth and for better gen. eral health, vigor, vite.
 Some persons have protruding chin which mars the personal ap- pearance. This is variously known as protruding mandible Oower jaw bone) or lantern jaw" or under shot jaw, the lower incisor teeth projecting beyond the upper ones when the mouth is closed, as in a bulldog, instead of being slightly inside of them as in the normal in- dividual This condition could not be confused with the prognathic type of skull in which both upper and lower jaws project and the bite" or occluSion of the teeth Is normal, but the facial angle or profile is sharp, acute, TO to 30 degrees in- stead of 90 or thereabouts as in the average white person. Prognathism like the color of the skin is un- changeable.
 In most cases protruding chin calls for treatment by a dentist who specializes in orthodontia, that is, correcting irregularities in the form or position of the teeth and dformities of the mouth, palate, jaw. It is commentary on the in- aptitude of the guild that so few general dental practitioners under take such treatment, and hence sufferers with Irregularities or de- formities subject to correction must either go to expensive specialists or go without treatment. If dentists were doctors, as they should be. every such case that turns up in the dentists off1ce would get at least
 ome advise if not the necessary treatment. Even as cllngs are now, any good dentist should and could, if he were so minded, manage the treatment of such cases by and with the occasional consultative advice of the orthodontist.
