When John Carradine arrived in Hollywood not so many years ago, he plotted one of the screwiest self advertising campaigns in the his- tory of the theatre-one so suc- cessful that within a few months he became widely known as the film capital number one "charac. ter" The long, lanky actor was pointed out to visitors as one of Hollywood's most interesting sights and sounds: for he had cultivated the habit of striding along the main boulevard reciting excerpts from Shakespeare in a voice that boomed above the noise of traffic.

one or two large basins, a bath towel and rubber apron, or sever al thicknesses of newspaper.
 A salt solution, made by mixing one teaspoonful O. salt to one pint of hot water is used for the irriga- ticn. You should have from one to two quarts of solution, as hot as the patient can stand it comfort ably.
 The material should be assembled and the procedure explained to the patient before the irrigation is started. Tell him to breathe through his nose, and not to swallow the solution, but to lean forward and let 1t run out of his mouth into the basin.
 PREVENT CHATTING
 If permitted, have the patient sit Up in bed; if not, have him lie on his side close to the edge of the bed. Protect the bed and the front of the gown with a rubber apron or several thicknesse5 of newspaper, topped by bath towel. Place large basin in his lap tor on a chair be- side the bed). Rub his chin thor oughly with cold cream to prevent chapping.
 Hang the fountain syringe or irrigating can filled with hot salt solution SO thSt 1t is a few inches higher than the patients head. The flow of the solution may be regu- lated by raising or lowering the bag. Attach the glass tube, which should have been preciously boiled for five minutes, to the rubber tubing, and insert it in the patients mouth. Re- lease the stopcock on the rubber tube, and direct the flow of solu- tion to the affected parts, first on one side, and then on the other, until at least a quart of solution has been used.
 After the irrigation is finished, dry the patients face, cover him well and protect him from drafts or exposure for some time.

The situation often reaches the feudin" stage = with the sharers of party line interrupting each others conversations. and delight ing in holding telephone for 45 minutes at a time.
 But the trouble all starts be- cause some persons feel that as long as they are anonymous voices, they don't have to have manners So they use a party line as often and for as lengthy conversations as they would if they weren't inconveniencing any one else by doing so.
 Following three simple rules would give them party line man. ners:
 Keep track of the number of telephone calls you make in a day, until you are convinced you are not making an unreasonable number. LIMIT YOUR TALK
 Limit your cells to five minutes, because there is nothing impor- tant you can't say in that length of time.
 Bring your own call to a close as quickly as possible the first time someone else lifts a receiver to use the line.
