FILM "D0UBLE EXPOSURE" AT
 10TH CENTURY

Scheduled to open tonight at the 20th Century Theatre is the new est, and gayest, so we are told. of Paramounts Pine-Thomas thrillers, Double Exposure" starring Nancy Kelly and Chester Morris.
 Based on the hilarious situations into which a girl news photograph CT may find herself when trying to outsmart competition, Double Ex- posture" develops theme which, reports have it, misses nothing in action, comedy and tense, we'll rounded plot.
 Giving what is considered her finest performance to date, Nancy proves her ability not only at handling a camera, but handling more than one man at time. Chester Morris, editor of the pie torial for which she works. is so keenly against competition where Nancy is concerned that he has her hometown sweetheart, Phillip Terry. shanghaied on board a ship bound for Russia.
 Competition crops up again, how ever, in the person of millionaire playboy Sonny Tucker, played by Charles Arnt, who has way with women, in spite of his millions. It all becomes very complicated and equally hilarious, we are told. when Nancy tangles with the law and finds herself wearing a striped frock matching the bars of her cell

House Manners
By AneeIo Pnfri

This word is for boys and girls old
enough to read it. Manners are OF
great Importance to you, because
they are the only standard by which
other people can measure and decide
whether or not you are a desirable
young person to know and with
whom to be associated in work OF
play.
People have no way of reading
the nobility of your soul, no way OF
seeing what a bright person you are
no way of knowing you at all save
by the way you behave, That is
why they watch you so keenly, not
ing the way you move, the way you
talk, smile, growl, push or shove
They are trying to discover what
sort you are, and you are telling
them. You are telling them loudly
and they hear you, never fear.
You enter room, with your car
on the back of your head and there
lit stays. You are whistling loudly
Your mother says, This is Mrs
Hunter, SON." You nod at the fal
side of the room and say out of the
side of your mouth, Anything to cal
in the house?" and make your grace
full exit by slamming the door. YOU
have said plenty.
You have said, II am an under
bred young man-selfish, stupid and
with little respect for myself, my
mother or anybody else" That word

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josethine Loyma an

Many women think of swimming
as something which only fish and
children do. This is too bad, for
swimming is one Of the sports which
can be enjoyed with safety all
through life.
Swimming is an especially health
full sport for the middle-aged
woman, because the body weight
Is supported by water and exercise
puts less strain on the heart and
muscles. 1t Is also one of the most
effective antidotes for tenseness, a
malady which many women COM
plain OF at midlife. From the
standpoint of the figure 1t is also
beautyficial because it Sims the
hips and abdomen, firms the bust
and arms and fills out the neck.
Many women who swan as chill
dren and young girls have dropped
the habit, while others have never
learned. Learning to swim has a
great and gratifying psychological
effect on the middle-aged woman.
1t gives her the lift which a new
activity and interest bring, it makes
her feel younger because it supplies
her with the zest we all experience
when we have overcome some form
of fear.
This may sound far fetched, but
1t really isn't. I remember the
reaction of a group Of this kind
which taught some years ago. The
lself-conf1dence which woman
achieves when she overcomes fear
and puts her head under the water
for the first time and learns to
swim, is translated into many facets
of her personality.
Too often middle age is a time
, OF closing rather than expanding
horizons, a time when life is set
tllng into ruts rather than spread
ing out over an exciting phase
which Is packed with new inter
ests and activities for which there
had not been time before. Believe
me, a passive attitude adds more
age to woman than years do.
Every new interest, every new
activity, every new outlook, Is 50
much more YOUTH
II you learn to swim you prob
ably will be taught the crawl first.
After that insist on learning the
breastStroke, because it is one of
the every best exercises possible for
improving posture. 1t also firms
the inside leg and reduces the
thighs.
If you wish to have my leafIet
which teaches you how to learn the
first few steps in your own bath
room, send stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your request

COOPERATIVE NURSERY
SCHOOLS.

SCHOOLS.
From Mrs. A. S., Washington.
I wonder how many mothers are
aware of the existence of co-opera-
tive nursery schools and of what
they have to offer. ! myself hap
pened. quite by accident, through a
friend of a friend, to hear about the
school my child has been attending
Both my daughter and I have
gained so much from it that I should
like to acQuaint others with some
of the benefits.
All the cooperative schools will
which I am familiar, namely thosl
in Montgomery County, are or
ganized and administered by the
mothers on nonprofit basis. They
are operated under the direction of
one or more professionally trained,
paid teachers who are assisted by
the mothers in the school room.
Usually each mother participates
one morning week, most often
driving group Of children to school
on this day. The value of this ar
rangement seems to me to be mani
fold. In the school room mothers
can learn much about child be-
haylor and the best ways to en-
courage the child in his develop
ment. This is supplemented by
study group discussion and by in
dividual conferences with the teach
er. The child gains the usual ad-
vantages of nursery school. self
reliance, the ability to play harmon
louSly with other children, etc, plus
the added security of having his
mother vital part of this new
activity at time when his depend
ence on mother is still very great.
[ should also say that the fees
charged by the co-operatives are
extremely low, putting them within
the financial reach of those who
cannot easily afford a good private
nursery school. Of course the moth
ers must be willing to make up for
this in time and effort if they want
flrst-rate cooperative school.
I cannot speak for schools in
Virginia or in the District, not being
familiar with them. The Montgom-
cry County Schools, however, have
Joined together in a Council of CO.
operative Nurseries that they may
better assist each other in their
work. Mrs. Wesley McCune, past
president of the council, has in
formed me that she will be in town

gladly answer calls and give any
further information desired. Her
