STRAND

One of the years most important motion pictures is now showing at the Strand Theater, and proves anew that no other medium equals the screen in the forceful presenta- tion of the facts of a situation. The picture is Where Are Your Chil- dren?" an absorbing drama of startling intensity, produced by
 Monogram and concerning itself with the serious problem of juvenile delinquency. It qualities as the ulti- mate the fast-moving entertain ment, and also as 8 savage indict- ment of present-day conditions. In it's later sequences, it points the way to cure.
 Jackie Cooper is starred in this outstanding film, with Gale Storm and Patricia Morrison heading a grand supporting cast of favorites.
 In the same program Is another smash hit, the thrilling mystery, '"The Saint Meets the Tiger with Hugh Sinclair.
 The above program positively comes to a close at the Strand Thursday night, with new show starting on Friday.

Or take an ordinary white waist coat which has a big collar that's worn on the outside of jacket, and smarter it up, as designer Net tie Rosenstein does, by making but tonholes at widespread intervals along the edge of your collar, sew dramatic looking buttons on your suit or bolero jacket to nail it down.
 Print scraps? If there is one left over from making your print dress that is large enough to band your f1at-topped coif and form a bow in the back, hair-ribbon fashion, draft your scrap into service. A strip of print about six inches wide and long enough to tie in as sizeable a bow as you like. will approximate the smart "drape frippery' used by high-style milliner Madame Paul inc, to ensemble headwear with a gay print dress.

where their skills are most valuable. Special consideration is given them by the Selective Service System. A training program has been started for refrigerator repair men, and others will follow, which should ease the situation somewhat.
 SPARE PARTS COMING UP
 Arrangements have been made in many areas to stretch out the use of laundry and cleaning facili- ties by eliminating service frills and re-routing deliveries.
 Special anocations of leather were made for shoe repair some time back. As some metals come back into supply there are signs of the beginning of manufacture of more repair parts. This lack of parts has been the basic cause of a good dea of the trouble in many repair serv. ives.

STATE

Performances tonight at Warmers State theater conclude the engage mentS of Walter Wanger's "Gung Ho!" with Randolph Scott, Alan Curtis and Noah Beery, Jr., also the Andrews Sisters and Marriet Hil- Hard in "Swingtime Johnny"
 Flesh and Fantasy" the produc- tion which has probably aroused more curiosity and comment than any film in recent seasons, comes to the screen at The State tomor- row for an engagement of four days
 Presented by Universal and CO., produced by Charles Boyer and Julian Duvivier, the extraordinary new picture is totally unlike any previous screen venture. It has an element of novel, striking surprise which, in itself, is gripping enter tainment while the story, or stories, it tells will be remembered as amaz- ingly and dramatically thrilling.
 Many noted stars appear in vivid roles as the multiple plot unfolds. They include Bob Benchley, Betty Field, Robert Cummings, Edward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer and Bar bara Stanwyck. Distinguished dramatic portrayals are delivered by Edgar Barrier, Thomas Mitchell, c. Aubrey Smith, Anna Lee, Dame May Whitty and Charles Winninger.
 Three separate but inter-related sales by Oscar Wilde, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis St. Joseph respectively have been cleverly merged in the screen play by Ernest Pascal, Samuel Hoffenstein and Ellis St. Joseph Presented as episodes, the stores are linked by an ingenious plot structure and the unified result is completely fascinating.
 A spectacular climax unique in every cinema respect, brings the film to it's startling conclusion. Boy CTS keen conception of entertain ment values Is evident throughout the production and the superlative direction by Duvivier gives each scene a high degree of importance.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents that hilarious comedienne Joan Davis in Beautiful But Broke" a comedy riot that promises to roll audiences in the aisles.
 $on't forget the States early bird show which takes place Thursday morning as usual with doors of the theater opening at 10 o'clock. Thsee shows are held for the convience of war workers and have been largely attended to date so plan now to see htis show Thursday morning at the State.

 feelings. The lips should be kept closed in order to exclude the air or the thermometer will not regis ter accurately.
 KEEP INSTRUMENT CLEAN
 Remove the thermometer and wipe it off with 8 piece of dry cotton downward toward the bulb. Hold 1t with the triangular edge toward you, locating the column of mer- cury, and note the point where 1t has stopped. Remember that each mark indicates two-tenths of de- gree. Normal temperature is 98.6 degrees. Slight variations above or below need not cause concern but a difference of one or two degrees should be reported to the doctor.
 It is just as important to know how to clean the thermometer as it is to know how to use it. MoiSten a piece of cotton with water and soap and wipe the thermometer downward toward the bulb immedi- ately after using it. It is always wise to repeat the procedure using a second piece of soaped cotton to be doubly sure that the ther- mometer is clean. Then rinse it under COLD, running water and dry with clean cotton. Put the soil ed pieces of cotton in a paper bag and burn them.

7E, THE WOMEN
- WE, THE WOMEN WOMEN ARE CHALLENGED BY PLEA FOR MORE WACS

lished in their chosen work while jobs are plentiful look pretty silly. CHANGE TO SHOW ABILITY
 It should arouse in them a need for having a real part in the big gest thing that will ever touch their lives.
 The WAC shouldn't need any more recruiting drives. If American girls have any spirit, any patriotism any pride in what women can ac- complsh, they should be standing in line.
 Here is the biggest chance that ever has come to American wo- men to prove their patriotism and their willingness to help fight 8 war.
 If they don't respond to the plea of the commanding officers in England, Africa and Italy to send us thousands more WACs." nothing will ever make them see their duty.

New York You can since top-notch designers do - make familiar accessories more dramatic by using them in new and clever ways.
 Have you a bright print necker- chief? If it's 8 triangle, wear as is. If it's a square, fold 1t trian- gular-wise and wear it tied around your waist - knotted in front and released at back in a point - to make a sash for a dark skirt and white shirt. If your dark skirt has bolero jacket so much the better. Your neckerchief, worn in this clever new way, which de- signer Nettie Rosenstein features in many of her new ensembles, will make your outfit look as dashing as sash-wrapped matodor's.
 Or give your handkerchief 8 fling at high style, as designer Jo Copeland does, by wearing it around your neck gilet-fashion under a suit jacket. But to give your scarf new twist, cross this triangle at base of throat and bring points through pocket sits of your jacket to hang outside two plump exclamation points of color.
 White neckwear also lends itself to dramatic new treatment. To make those collars tackled on for neckline relief on dark dress or suit more important, try these new ways to use them. Take little neckband collar, which you usually wear turned down, starch 1t stiff and turn it up, as designer Samuel Kass does on a smart navy blue dress. Then, crease the tips back, like a mans wing collar.

only 25 per cent of those who wanted shoe repair had difficulties, while 73 per cent of the lesser num- Der needing washing machine re- pairs had trouble. There were only one-thirtieth as many people with washing-machine repair work to be done.
 Dry cleaning was second only to shoe repair as a cause of trouble to people needing these services. Watch and clock repair, radio, plumbing and heating and general electrical appliance repairs were hard to get.
 All of these service men have been on the list of essential man. power for some time, but since the survey War Manpower Commission has emphasized a policy of steer ing such critical workers as skilled refrigeration repair men and elec- tric motor repair men into the work
