most dashing debutante this country
haa ever known, will be 50 years old

It haa been years since she cele
brated her birthday.' but all signs

who remember when Alice, always the
talk of the town, was the fad of the
whole country.
Now, frankly and buoyantly 50, Mrs.
Longworth haa been laughingly re
plying to all who mention her birth
day: "Plenty of kick In the old horse
yet!"
Since 48, she haa turned authoress,
learned to typewrite; gone to market
ing her comments on the capital
scene In a magazine.
She didn't say Calvin Coolldge was
weaned on a pickle she merely heard
the remark and repeated It. She waa
not author of a quip that her distant
cousin. Franklin, was one-third mush
and two-thirds Eleanor. She heard
that one and drdn't repeat It didn't
even think It waa funny.

REDUCTION WORK
Completion of the fire hazard re
duction work along the Butte Falls
Lake of the Woods road from the na
tional forest boundary to the foot of
mosquito grade, was announced Sat
urday by Supervisor Karl L. Janouch
of the Rogue River national forest.
This work was done by the South
Fork of Rogue River CCC camp and
Mr. Janouch stated that It represents
a" splendid accomplishment by these
boys. Seven miles of roadside was
cleared by a crew of approximately
50 men In slightly more than a
month.
The portion of the road passes
through logged-off lands on which
there Is a heavy accumulation of rot
ten logs and other Inflammable de
bris. Due to the heavy travel during
the summer months, this has been
considered one of the worst fire haz
ards In the vicinity.
All Inflammable material for a dis
tance of 50 feet on each side of the
road has been burned, and all snags
within 150 feet of the road have been
felled. Mr. Janouch stated that the
work had proceeded much more
rapidly than had been expected.
While excellent burning weather was
a factor In the accomplishment of
the work, he pointed out that the
principal factor was the Interest and
hard work of the CCC boys of the
South Fork camp.

'SONG OF SONGS'
OPENING AT ROXY
Probably the most Important In

picture is the life-size statue of
Marlene Dietrich, which plays fully
as Important a role In "The Song
of Songs." now playing at the Roxy,
as though It were one of the prin
cipal actors of the cast.
Miss Dietrich, an orphan, lives
with a cruel, slatternly aunt In a
drab, ugly apartment. Across the
street la the studio of a handsome
sculptor. They fall in love. The
sculptor makes a beautiful statue
of her. An ogre-like Baron falls In
love with the statue. Hia desire to
possess the original, his ultimate
marriage to Miss Dietrich, and the
heartache and tragedy that follow
before ahe eventually finds lasting
happiness all are caused by the
statue.

Not only a new Paul Muni but j
an astonishing one. This forceful j

such as "I Am a Fugitive From a i
Chain Gang" and "Scarface." have
been screen sensations in the realm
of the serious and the tragic, has
at Inst turned to comedy. And what

one of the most versatile stars of
either stnie or screen.
As a mutter of fact. "HI, Nelllel"

VICTIM of a
GREAT
WRONG
s fl'M , i& (,', r,j
THE CHILD who is subjected to eyestrain caused
by poor lighting at home is a victim of a very great
wrong.
During the first seven or eight years, a child's
eyes are in a state of development. If they are over
strained during this formative period ... an im
pairment of vision is likely to result that will
handicap the child throughout life.
Nearsightedness, squinting, undue fatigue, bad
posture, are often due to eyestrain in childhood.
And poor light is one of the most common causes
of eyestrain.
If you have children in your home, guard their
eyes by providing good lighting.
WHAT IS GOOD LIGHTING
Good lighting is called Restful Light. It permits
the eyes to open naturally ... at rest . . . without
squinting, scowling or frowning ... the cause of
many wrinkles.
The basic fundamental of Restful Light is the
elimination of sharp contrasts; that is, bright,
glaring lights and deep shadows. With Restful
Light, every part of the room is well lighted as
well as your book or work before you. When the
right amount of light is properly distributed eye
strain is avoided. Look to good lighting if you
would keep the precious heritage of good eyesight.
HOW TO, GET RESTFUL
LIGHT
It is often difficult for the average person to
achieve Restful Light unaided. To help you, we
maintain a Home Lighting Service. The sole pur
pose of this service is to help you get the most ben
efit from every penny you spend for electricity.
