BEFORE PEARL HARB0R STORY
 E AT CAPITOL

A great romance and an insplr- ing sacrifice are the twin themes of Flight for Freedom" the un- usual new feature picture which CO., stars Rosalind Russell and Fred MacMurray This feature is at the Capitol for only two nights, to- night and tomorrow.
 MacMurray plays the part of a famous flier whose career has ln- spired Miss Russell to become a pilot also The two fall in love, but MacMurray's cratic ways ana the counter attraction of a quieter but steadinr man make the girl hesitate in her choice.
 Before coming to final decision she prepares for one last record flight, round -the-world solo hop that will take her over the Jap- anese mandated islands of the South Pacific. On the eve of her departure, nigh U. s. Navy officers come to her with a strange request that she deliberately radio that she is lost while in the mandated area and actually come down on an out-of -the-way island from which she will subsequently be rescued by cruiser.
 The apparent accident will enable Navy planes while ostensibly merely hunting for the lost aviatrlx to photograph the secret Notifications the Japs have been illegally build ing in the mandated region, and thus get information of huge value to this nation in the event of war. The girl agrees to the plan, but at the last minute she finds that the ,Taps know all about it and are prepared to find" her themselves so as to keep our planes out of the forbidden area.
 How she takes dramatic ana unexpected step in order that this country may secure the knowledge it needs, forms the climax of the RKO Radio film.

R0MMEL FILM
 BEGINNING AT 10TH CENTURY

The war mas yielded many thrill ing stories for books, stage and screen so far, and there will be many more to come, but one of the most intriguing ideas yet film ed seems to be that contained in ParamountS new adventure movie, Five Graves to Cairo" which comes tonight to the 20th Century.
 The title itself is one to pique the curiosity and from all accounts the story lives up to the interest 1t creates, having as it does for background the titanic struggle in Africa between the British Eighth Army and Rommels Afrika Korps. The Five Graves to Cairo is Rommel's secret-a secret stumbled upon in the picture by a British tank corporal in the person of personable Franchot Tone.
 AS the story unfolds, Tone, de- lirious from sunstroke, stumbles into what he believes to be a British h-controlled hotel only to find that 1t is about to become staff headquarters for Field Marshal Ron.mel He disguises himself as a waiter, with the help of Akim Tamiroff, Egyptian hotel owner, and a litt'a French ch9mbprrnai0 played by Anne Baxter. When Rommel moves into the hotel with his staff, Tone is amazed to be accepted as one of the Nazis, a trusted advance fifth-columnist. The story is thrilling to the big climax.

Do you have poor digsstien! Do you feel hsadachy after eating? Do you get sour or upset easily? Do you feel tired-listIess!

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails. your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly = often in as little as 30 minutes And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 10f and 25f. c

It's Up to Us!

IHE best thing, however, is to find
something genuinely useful for her
to do in the new community. For
most young girls, nothing could be
better than helping in nursery, for
adolescent girls today often get far
too little experience in handling
babies and small children. Junior
aide nursing is also excellent, and IS
now offered by many hospitals.
For the summer there IS farm
work. Adolescent labor is needed,
and city communities should pro-
vide safe, wholesome supervision
50 that teen-age girls can 60 Oft IN
vacation to work on farms. 1t IS
worth inquiring of the State Agrl-
cultural Department or nearby
county agent about arrangements
in your own part of the country.
Finally. there are part-time
jobs. Although the record seems
to show that school marks fall
when adolescents work after
school, nevertheless jobs are bet
ter than loneliness or idleness.
1t is true that jobs for young girls
are not as plentiful as for boys and
that they must be more carefully
selected. But a neighborhood COM
mittee might turn up surprisingly
good opportunities by canvasslng
local businesses.
In short, il is up to adults, espe-
cially in wartime, to see that our
sensitive adolescent girls have
chance to do valuable and practical
things. and to feel responsible, I'M
pMtant, secure.
