is an original by Lloyd Corrigan

college atmosphere. The direc
tion is excellent also .with Clar

The story concerns a very stu

of this she wins the channel swim

heroine of the campus and very
much in the public eye. How sin
overcomes the agony of learning
that she did not actually win the
swim and how she captures James
Hall, the leading man, provides a
thousand laugha. '. :
The picture marks the first ap
pearance of Gertrude Ederle on
the screen as a 'player In her own

There are many shots of her in
action in the water and also "in
character" when she takes Miss
Daniels in hand and trains her.
Miss Daniels romps through
these situations. at a rapid pace;
so fast, in fact, that not one dull
moment turns up. Clarence Badg

the production a colorful, collegi

BIOST CASES, REPORTED
"Practically every case of pen-

benefited by the use of a diet rich
in liver, declared Dr. William P.
Murphy of Boston, who with Dr.
George B. Minot, presented the
famous Mlnet-Murphy.diet in such
cases, before members of the Ore
gon state 'medical 'society, in an
nual session here yesterday.
"First of all, It was said,
"make sure . ' the trouble is really
pernicious anaemia. Several oth
er diseases show much the same
symptoms. ' One therapeutic test
Is that If the diet, properly taken,
does' not - work, - the chances are
especially good that the disease
Is not pernicious anaemia.
From one fourth to one half
pound of liver daily was advo
cated for patients suffering from
the disease. In addition, kidneys.
chicken liver, pr sweet breads,
were' also given, it was said.
"We now have an extract of
liver which may replace the half
pound of liver given," declared Dr.
Murphy, "two or three little viles
of powder of this extract is given
in solution and produces the same
effect as the liver in the other
form." This extract, it was said,
is not yet on the market, but will
be within a few weeks.
