This picture, which beat's the title “Tenderloin” is an old fashioned hair-raiser, but it is more than that. It is the rugged, glam orous love story of Rose Shannon, dancer at Kelly’s Cafe in the Bow ery, and Chuck White, swaggering ydung gangster, member of a band of thieves. It is swift in action, ex citing to the nth degree, with sus pense and humor and gripping in tensity. The story starts off with a bang in the very first reel. A bank is robbed) a successful get-away is made, and the money disappears. The missing money bag is found by the police in the possession of the young cabaret dancer, but to their dismay it contains only wads erf pa per and poker chips. Freed by the police, she is trapped by the very man she loves, into the hands of the gang of bank robberq, who are des perate to recover their missing loot From this point the action is fast, furious and exciting. Yen’ll long re member the many thrilling moments during the showing of “Tenderloin. Conrad Nagel heads the excellent support cast. The film was directed by Michael Curtis. X Feeble-Minded And Epileptics In State Institutions: 1927 PRELIMINARY REPORT Cookii g lessons arc given < » „ • I - r .«C » I / Ircm many radio :tat.ons, but so j ai none r.f them have come up to the mother used t.< cco!:. | WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20 — The Department of Commerce makes the following announcement for tho State of South Carolina concerning results of the 1927 census elf feeble- mi 'ded and epilept'es in state insti tutions. The State Training School of South Carolina had a total of 101 first admissions during the year 1927, as compared with 39 in 1923, and 23 i n 1922. These first admissions represent patients received during the year - , who had not previously been under treatment in any institution for feeble-minded and epileptics. Such newly admitted patients afford the best available measure of the num ber cf new cases which are brought under institutional care during the year. The increase in the number of first admissions in South Carolina between 1922 and 1927 was relative ly greater than the growth in the State’s population during the same period, as shown by the fact that the first admissions in 1927 numbered 5.5 per 10l\000 of population, a" compared w;th 2.1 per 100,000 for 1926, and 1-3 for 1922. The extent to which provision has been made for the state institutional care of feeble-minded and epileptics is perhaps best indicated by the number of patients in the institu tions on a g'ven dato. The number of patients present in the State Training School on January 1. 1928 was 437 as compared with 105 on January 1, 1922; and the ratio of such patients per 100,000 of general population increased from 6.1 on January I, 1922 to 23.6 on January 1, 1928. Of the first admissions in South Carolina during the year 1927, 56 were males., and 43 we:*e females; and of the pat ents present on January 1, 1928, 225 were males, and 212 wore females. WORTH KNOWING “BLACK EYES” AND “BLOOD SHOT” Suggestions for the care of the eyes prepaid under the direction of j the Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, furn ish many useful hints: To remove “something” from the eye, dip little pieces of flannel in hot water and apply constantly below the lower lid. If the substance is a difficult one like a bit erf steel, go to an. oculist. For a “black eye” the swelling may be reduced by applying to the closed lids every three or four min utes, little squares or circles of clean white, absorbent cotton or linen fou: ioM which have laid on a piece of ice until thoroughly cold. The treat- ment should be kept up continuous ly for from 12 to 24 hours, until the swelling has subs’ded. The removal of discoloration may be hastened by applying more or less constantly be low the lower lid, little pieces of flannel dipped in water as hot as cr.be borne. Treatment for congested lids is better light, icst. attention to per sonal hygiene such as a balanced d ot, daily baths and plenty of sleep. A few drops of a solution of zinc sulphate made by dissolving one grain of zinc nilphate te an ounce cf water may be cropped into the eyes as an astringent. “Blood shot” eyes are regarded as serious, and if there is a discharge from the eye which dries on the ashes and causes the lids to stick together, a competent physician or specir.list should be consulted. Statements by eye experts give at tention to the necessity for proper lenses which can only be secured ;rom first-class eye special’sts. They recommend rigid frames such as shell rims, that do not fly out of shape upon the slightest excuse, fco- eausc once fitted on the patient their form is permanent and satisfying. The old style • metal frames have been di^canded to a large extent be cause they are always breaking. For sight wounds and burns about the eyes the Public Health Service recommends a tepid solu tion of boric acid as helpful. Pains produced by lime should be immed iately treated by a solution of one part of vinegar and two parts of wa ter. Slight burns by acids may be washed with lime water or water to which a little baking soda has been added—one-half teaspoonful to a glass of water. Congestion erf the eye lids caused by smoke o;* dust, or by excessive glare, cr by constant reading, may be frequently relieved by resting them a.:d by a mild instringent or an antiseptic lotion. A solution of ten grains of boric acid to the ounce or a light solution cf sulphate cf zino one grain to the ounce (tf wa ter, or argyrol i.i a five to ten per cent solution., is recommended for “pink eye” and similar troubles. txt Little Talk On Thrift EMPLOYERS CONSTANTLY IN CREASING EFFORTS TO IN SPIRE THRIFT AMONG EMPLOYES (By S. W. Straus, Presient American Society For Thrift.). -IXI- The Individual Must Remain Paramount 1 1 $ ENROILMENT BOOKS ML CLOSE llESDAt. JOLV 24 The open secret of the greatness of Amer'ca is expressed perfectly at the end of Lincoln’s famous Gettys burg address—‘‘(government of the people, by the people, for the people.” At the bas's of all we have done, all our achievements and prosperity, is that definite principle of govern ment. In the beginning, the United States was created by men to whom mon archy the Divine Right of Kings, all the freedom-stifling autoracy of the Europe of that time, was abom inable. They established a great country on the doctrine that the people were entitled to freedom, liberty and the right to organize their own govern ment and society. The iron heel erf Imperialism was abdlished and the great experiment, Democracy, became a reality. The qualities which had lain dorm ant in a subjugated people—adven turousness vision, the urge to pro gress and invent and perfect—came splendidly to life. With magnifi cent energy and intelligence a com parative handful of citizens set themselves to the grim reality of de veloping a great country whose pos sibilities, resources , and even physi cal boundaries and characteristics, were but vaguely undei’stood. A little more than 150 years later, we aie the heirs of thpir herculean accomplishments. All their dreams, given to us. It is our place—our duty—to see aspirations and tr umps have been that our inheritance is carried on to- waid that ultimate perfection they envisaged. The past greatness of America, the past accomplishments, came from un hampered individualism that used -t- 3 intelligence and initiative for the benefit of the people as whole, w’th the assistance of a government that was the true voice of the people. The future achievements and yet unconceived greatness of America must stand on the same basis—free dom of the individual to progress and realize to the limit his possi-; bilities. Only with that doctrine up- i permost, can industrial and busino-sj greatness be cheated and maintain ed. There must be no departure from government cf by and for the peo-; pie. There is no place in this coun try for paternalism or radicalism. 1 The ind’vidual must remain para-i mount cr we have failed.

This does not nofer to any charitable activities but means instances where employing corpora tions assist these on their payrolls to make personal financial progress. This idea is being carried out in various ways. Some organizations are U Iping the r employees build ard own their own homes; otheis are crcourag r ng them in the ownership- of stock in the organization where th^y a:*2 employed, and still others are carrying out plars by which em ployes a.'.n able to save a consider able sum of money as they go along. It is an encouraging sign of the times that business interests are taking an increased interest in the personal prog: less of the members of the’r organizations. To be happy and successful i.t business requires happiness and suc cess in the home. Thus business organizations wh’ch, encourage thrift among their em ployees are in turn reaping the re wards of g: i ater efficiency. But this is not to be viewed from the standpoint of selfishness. While- the company secures benefits from the thrift of its employes, the com munity, the nation and society in general a/i likewise benefitted. The establishment of a thrifty family in a community is always an added force to the progress of that community. -:xi- Farm Wages Are Lower This Year Wages of all classes of farm la bor are below wages a year ago-, the index erf the general level of farm wages on July 1, this year being placed at 170 per cent of the pre war level as compared with 172 per cent in July last year by the BuiVau of Agricultural Economics. United- States Department cf Agriculture. The lower level of farm wages, says the bureau is probably due to the larger supply of farm labor available this year. Supply express ed as per cent of demand is 105 for July 1. as compared with 100 a year ago. The larger supply in turn, the bureau adds, is probably explained by the much lower volume cf indus trial employment which has pre vailed during the first six months o" 1928. thus releasing more labor for the farms X To Wash With Iron Water Water containing iron which is liable to rust cloths and other ma terials can usually be improved for washing purposes by adding a Tttle limewater to the water, stirring it thoroughly, allowing the iron to set tle to the bottom; and then drawing olf the clearest water for use. Lime- water is a safe solution and can be made easily and cheaply at home. Put a small lump of fresh quickl’me (caustic I me) in a wooden pail and slack the line by slowly adding about 30 times its weight of water. Stir or shake the mixture for about a half hour, allow it to settle, a d throw away the liquid. Then add to the lime residua about 300 times its weight of water, st’r it frequent ly for the next 24 hours, and allow * the - lime to settle. The clear water oblaincd above the undissolved lime i" limewater. If kept for future use, th's rh rid be put in tightly corked containers.
