P) Against the ttlt of a woman's nose, a revolu tion in industry Is nothing. Less than - a year ago. Broadway still was moving to Hollywood be cause the movies hod started talking. And Maureen O'Sulllvan was an ob scure little Irish girl In Ireland. The screen had reached the peak of Its transition from silent to ar ticulate acting. Producers were in r, whirl, including Prank Borzage, director. Besides working to make the talkies speak for themselves more effectively, Borzage was In Ireland directing scenes for John McCor inack's first picture. Then he saw Maureen Sulli van's profile. And despite all the changes the movies were under going and all his other worries, he signed her to a contract to appear in 4 ine MCLormocic anaotner films. The result is a record for Mau reen the quickest rise, it Is held. of any girl without previous train ing from an absolute "unknown" to featured player. Maureen was living, 10 months ago in Killlney, 6100' miles from Hollywood. Just post 20, she spent her life riding with her parents In p. small imported car and going to Dublin, 11 miles away, to shop or to attend the Metropole theater and dance nt the Plaza restaurant. At the Metropole she saw Amer ican talkies. At the Plaza she heard the only modern jazz orchestra in Dublin. While dancing. Borzage saw her. The tilt of her nose and her other typical Irish characteristics won him. Up to the sudden frenzied mo ment of her discovery, Maureen had no desire or Immediate hope of be coming a talkie actress. She took the test offered by Borzage on a dare of friends. Then came to America. Following McCormack's "Song O' My Heart" she was with Will Rogers in "So This Is London," and now has a part in "Just Imagine." They say here she's proving quite useful in that revolution in the movies which her nose helped bring about.

Then, because of dirt contamination of pistol and other wounds, there usually are many deaths from lock jaw. The disease is due to a germ known as tetanus bacillus. Many wbunds caused by Fourth of July fireworks are of the puncture type that Is, they reach fairly deeply Into the flesh, but the skin oloses over them. This type of wound favors the de velopment of the tetanus bacillus, for the bacillus thrives when not exposed to the air. The tetanus bacillus belongs to a small group of micro-organisms which injure man through a specific poison, or toxin, which they pro duce. In a sense this poison Is like the venom of a snake. It gains en trance Into the body, and Is spread through the circulation of the blood. It affects certain tissues In the body, mainly the nerve tissues, and when present in suffcient quanti ties, produces death. The tetanus bacillus Is common and widespread. It Is a soli bacil lus In that It Is commonly found RiWFROMMSE OF CONSTIPATION A Battle " Creek physician says. "Constipation is responsible for mere misery than any other cause." But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Order lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system Into the lazy, dry, evacuation bowl called the colon.

The prevention of W tan us de pends first upon the cleanliness or wounds, and second on the prompt administration of tetanus antitoxin.

Antiseptics alone are not to bo trusted as a preventive of teta nus. Cleanliness, exposure to air and sun. and free bleeding are more dependable.

Chats With Parents QUIET HOUR By Alice Judsuit Pealc The long summer days tempt children to play out of doors until dark. For some reason or other the hour before bedtime is the one in which they usually choose to play the most violent and exciting games. They show a tendency to become nervously stimulated and to work themselves up to the highest pitch of excitement. Natural as this is, it is generally considered best for children to be quiet at this partic ular time. For this reason mothers would do well tc plan always for a pleas ant, quiet hour at home. This Is the hour for story -telling and talk, for reading, for playing with puzzles and crayons. Older children will perhaps enjoy doing some kind of hand work. Quiet, sitting down games are in order. Children who have been accus tomed to running around and play ing violently Just before going to bed probably will object at first to being brought Indoors to what may seem to them Insipid occupation. Mother therefore must be care ful to make the diversions of quiet .hour appear as real privileges re served only for that particular time of day. and therefore to be looked forward to with anticipation. i Her success In making her chil dren accept such a regime depends wholly upon her skill in putting over the Idea. It is. In all probability, the one opportunity of the day for the flow of friendly. Intimate conversation between parents and child that re assures the child of his security in their love and sets him right with his world. ROOSEVELT IS A STUDENT OF EASTERN LIFE NEW YORK .iTT) Dwlght W. Davis, governor general of the Philippines, got a new tennis partner when Nich olas Roosevelt was appointed vice governor. Although not a tournament player. Roosevelt will offer a good foil to the thrusts of the donor of tho Davis cup, friends say. And after their tennis match. If something Is wrong with the garden. Roosevelt can attend to that, too. His one real hobby is the garden and grounds ...qu .his " summer home at Hewlett, on tho south shore of Long Island. Roosevelt, an editorial writer on the New York Times from 1923 until his appointment, has long been a close student of far eastern affairs. He was a great admirer of the policies of Gen. Leonard Wood, who was gover nor of the far eastern possession for several years. Born 37 years ago ot Oyster Bay, Long Island, his father was a first cousin of President Roosevelt and one of his closest personal advisors. Young Nicholas grew up in an at mosphere of national and interna tional affairs. He spent scvoral months In Manila as General Wood's guest and made an intensive study of the Philippines. Graduated from Harvard In 1014, Roosevelt was attached to. the em bassy at Paris when war was de clared. He enlisted in the American army, achieving the rank of captain. During the peace conference he was a military olde to President Wilson. He was only an average student, but rowed on his class crew, played a good game of squash and tennis, and wos popular with his fellow students. Unmarried, during the winter he lives with his mother at the family estate at Oyster Bay. tVHKSTI.KKS "TAKK" TEXAS AFTER IIOXINU IS BANNED DALLAS Swarming over the state almost like a cloud of locusts, the wrestlers have "tahen" Texas, all in the space of a year. Since Gov. Dan Moody's antl-bo'x-Ing edict, the popularity of the mat bouts has grown to such an extent that public agitation for the return of the glove game has become scarcely audible. Hardly a town In the state large enough to support a paid fire de partment that does not have its weekly grappling cards, with at least one "champion" appearing on each program. One reason for the rapid growth of the mat game in Texas lies in the fact that it was organized on a state wide scale with a minimum of fric tion among the promoters.
