Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Eachday, Nature must produce about
two pints OF a 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. Carriers Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often. in as little as 80 minutes. And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids to
counteraet indigestion-when Carriers

lures own order. Take Carriers Little
Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any
drugstore. Only 25s.

Two French Films

BY CHARLES GENTRY

IT'S BEEN a long time since
film fans have had a chance to
see any French films, and while
the two on view at the Cinema
Theater this week are prewar,
they are both absorbing.
Although "32 Rue Montmartrs"
is given top billing, we preferred
Hotel du Nord" as being more
typically Partisan and more inter-
esting from A story standpoint.
This small hotel in Montpar-
naSse is the miSe-en-Scene of lower
middle class intrigueS, loves, hates
and deaths.
1t is a Grand Hotel" on a very
squalid scale. There is the pro-
prietor, his wife, faithless wife,
cocotte and her gigolo. all the
types of the Bohemian life, set in
locale which must evoke memo
ries in the mind of any one who
has ever visited Paris.
TRAGIC LOVERS
The principals are two young
.ioverS, Annabelia and Pierre Au-
mont, who come TO the Hotel du
AeFd2 to commit suicide in a love
pact. The boy shoots her. but at
the last moment is afraid to kill
. himself and runs away.
She RECEIVERS and comes hack 10
work as servant girl in the
hotel, but he is sent 10 Jail and
il is only her faithful love for
him which finally restores them
both 10 one another.

Pine Bluff
Elects First
Bronze Mayor

Pine Bluff.-Hundreds of Ne
groes turned from their usual
observance of the Fourth of July
here this week and went to the
polls to vote for the election of
u. S. Brown as Bronze Mayor
in the first campaign of its kind
in the history of Pine Bluff. The
Bronze Mayor Campaign was
conducted under the auspices of
the Pine Bluff Branch of the Ma
tional Negro Business League
with three candidates entering the
race. Those opposing Mr., Brown
were w, Harold Flowers, law
yer and well-known civic leader,
and Mr.. w. T. Alexander, young
progressive business leader and
owner of the College Grocery
store.
Despite the short period given
80 the candidates to work, the
League achieved its aims. The
contest was conducted for the
purpose of raising funds for the
organization and also to give the
Negro citizens of Pine Bluff an
opportunity to see how it feels
to go to the polls and cast vote.
All during the period set aside
for voting hundreds of Negroes
could be seen walking to one of
the six places set aside for this
purpose. The interest was 50
high one would have believed the
real mayor was up for re-elec-
ton. Well managed crowds gath
cred at the West End Drug Store,
Owl Cafe, Taylor's Lunchery,
Deluxe Beauty School Salon,
Pennington's Grocery and the
Lions Den to talk politics and
predict the outcome OF the cleo
ton.
At nine sharp the judges, cam
paign managers and hundreds of
Pine Bluffians went to the A. M
& N. College gymnasium to hear
the returns. E. NJ Moore, presi-
dent of the Pine Bluff Negro
Business League, welcomed the
visitors and gave brief history
of the purpose of the organiza-
ton. DR., G. c. Taylor, hard
working campaign manager for
the winner Of the Bronze Mayor
contest did an excellent job at
the mike as the M C.. The retir-
ing president, DR.. w. E. O'Bryant
was presented to the audience
Others introduced were z. Z
Moore, John c. Kahn, S. B
Adams, and Ivy Anderson.
Despite the interest on the part
of all the candidates, the race
finally ended between Flowers
and Brown. For nearly an hour
as the votes were counted, one
could not predict the outcome,
Brown had gained too much
strength from the Pine Bluff
Arsenal workers and went i1to
the lead to take the title as Pine
Bluffs first Bronze Mayor. Mr.
and Mrs. Brown were introduced
