If that lion is as fierce as the lamb is mild, there will be a blizzard hereabouts on April Fool's day. Dear old Pasadena where life begins at 75 1 We have had our fun with the Crown City in the past, but after a week in down town Los Angeles coming over here is like moving from the N. Y. subway to an ivory tower in Arcadia. How quiet and peaceful everything is, and beautiful too. True the movies ure a trifle second-run. Walking up Colorado street to the hotel for example, we passed the Marx Brothers at the Opera, but at that we would prefer to see the Marxeg for the THIRD time, to seeing Mae West, over at the Paramount in L. A. for the FIRST her latest opus in our opinion being terrible. . i And here there is always something worth while. A new play at the Community theatre for example called "Not For Children." It is by Elmer Rice and this is its first American showing. We speculated a bit before investing a dollar and a half, in a play we had heard nothing about and knew less. But the older girls at the hotel, panned it so unmercifully we de cided it would be worth seeing. It was. In fact it proved to be one of tho most extraordinary and amusing performances we have seen in many a long day. e e But we don't blame the older girl exactly. Their favorite term of condemnation is "very modern." Not only that but it's incoherent, disjointed, long drawn out (the final curtain around eleven-thirty) and just plain goofy. But it is never dull and at times highly entertaining. Our enjoyment was not lessened by a group of four elderly people sitting directly in front of us, fur-lined evening wraps, white ties, tails and all that sort of thing to all appearances the creme de la creme, of Orange Grove avenue who sat stiff as pokers through all the four acts, never laughed, never com mented, and judging by their BACKS, did nothing but raise and lower their eye brows, as a mute but eloquent testimonial of their moral disapproval. They were a sturdy quartet how ever. When they went out to get some coffee in the lobby between the acts, we never expected to see them return. But they did and at the final fade nut, they got up their trappings and filed out in good order. How long Pasadena's Backbay will stand for this performance however remains to be seen. e e e But to one in no way responsible for the maintenance of the intellectual and moral integrity of the richest and most self righteous suburb in the world, the evening was altogether delightful. We don't know just what Mr. Rice's purpose was, or even whether or not he had a definite purpose, but we do know he dished out one of the most delicious satires on various phases of the contemporary American drama, that we have seen, since well since Bernard Shaw did more or less the same thing for England. ' The play starts out with a parody on a radio announcer, of the B. 0. type, then before the ourtain goes up a' man and a woman (to give the masculine and feminine points of view) come out, take their seats at either side of the stage, and throughout the evening make their comments upon what? goes on on the other side of the footlights. Later they take part in the stage scenes themselves, and then comment upon what they have done until there is not only a play within a play, but several plays mixed up with them, and everyone sympathizes with the stage manager himself who comes out before the fbot lights to announce that this is the "screwiest" performance he has over had anything to do with; he doesn't know where he is at and wonders if anyone else does, and if so would they please tell him, e e e a Ga-ga as this may sound and ga-ga as it is, there is a vein of keen intelligence running through the entire phantasma gora, some examples of beautiful dramatio writing, Bnd as be fore indicated some side-splitting farce. There is a duologue between the male and female commentators for example, in the form of an apostrophe to the bed, the stage being occupied only by one of Simmons best which shocking at times in its allusions, nevertheless in poignancy of its satire and the depth of its philosophy, has nlmtmt a Shakespearean quality. There is hlso a duologue regarding God which is thought provoking, and impressive, and then for comic relief a perfectly ribald parody of drawing room melodrama is put on, during which all the characters walk over the prostrate form of the husband, whom friend wife has just put out of his misery by firing an automatic into his mid section. Finally "Not For Children" is the perfect title although a group of young people, two girls and two boys sat on our right, and would have been terribly insulted (the girls at least) if any one had suggested they had graduated from their teens. From the ridiculous to the sublime, a fellowship meeting was held the following night at the First Methodist church on Colorado street, the principal talks being given by a Jewish rabbi, a Catholio layman, Mr. Joseph Scott, and Rev. Holland F. Burr, who represented Protestantism. The folly of sectarian differences and the desirability of unity and cooperation be tween various branches of the Christian church were stressed, there was inspiring music, the auditorium was well filled, and a fine spirit of harmony and brotherhood prevailed. Like many meetings of this sort however, one departed with a certain sense of skepticism. Easy enough to secure harmony and good will among outstanding leaders of the various sects, but getting the same spirit aroused in the rank and file is quite another matter. True, Jew, Catholic and Protestant worship the same God, and in Paganism and Atheism face common foe; but whilo their differences are relatively superficial, they can't be disregarded, when It comes to arriving at any practical and worknblc, non-denominational unity of action and effort. How ever the meeting was interesting, its purpose entirely laudable, another indication of the many advantages Pasadena' offers, in the realm of the mind and spirit, the persistent pursuit of culture and knowledge. Taking a walk this morning along Green street we were contacted by a bustling middle-aged woman who asked us to sign a petition praying that horse racing be prohibited in the county of Loj Angeles. "It is not only wicked but Is injuring business in Pasadena. All the merchants are complaining. The people instead of buying things they need go to the race track and throw away thuir money to the gamblers." We got out of that one very easily by explaining we had no vote in the county of Los Angeles'. This is not the first evidence on this brief 'trip that the spirit of Prohibition is reviving all along the Pacific coast. Prohibiting horse racing is only the first step. R. W. R.

Is prostration, ex haustion, early and Inexplicable weakening. But another characteristic, al most as common, and more strik ing In the mind of ths sufferer. Is the excessive ach ing the victim feels In nerves, muscles, nones, and for which he de sires quick relief. There are on the market scores of remedies which bring quick relief to the aches or pains of grip. Unfortu nately this la the one thing most "cold" and "grip" remedies do noth ing else but. I say it Is too bad for the health and safety of the sufferer with grip that such remedies are so freely available and are bo Insistently foisted on the public as harmless and even beneficial. I refer to the various coalta derivatives, remedies containing acetanlllde (phenylacets mld), phenacetlne (acetphenetldln), antlpyrln, and similar pain killers. These drugs benumb the sense of pain, fatigue, anxiety or worry. At the same time tney depress the heart and destroy red blood corpuscles. The latter effects are scarely helpful when you are entering a battle. Now I don't enjoy ache or pain any more than any other gink. But If I get a headache or pain In the back or limbs or a general malaise and aching all over, I prefer to try lying down in bed for a while, perhaps with a hot mustard foot bath or anyway beat In one form or another, to see whether that will not bring relief without re sorting co angestc dope. And my heart is an A No. 1 organ. If this Is a bit personal, remember I sjm giving my personal opinion. Some good doctors may not agree en tirely with my views. If your doctor tells you differently, pay no attention to me. Your doctor is probably a better doctor than Ol' Doc Brady ever could have been anyway. Now quinine Is not so bad. I have not the slightest idea why quinine should bo given to a person who is coming down with something "grlp- py," but It seems to bold its place in th treatment of the flu. Prom five to IS grains of quinine dally, Is the usual dose, and It should be taken for four or five days, but should be stopped If any buzzing, ringing or feeling of fullness or dullness in the ears or deafness occurs.

The so ciety photographer from London, Cecil Beaton, Is the sartorial wow of the season In both New York and Palm Beach A languid, drawl ing fellow he will focus hla camera on only "people who mat ter" and this commercial fair pet. He can spot such flashy dressers as Goad by Loew the blanket on last year's derby winner and romp down the home-stretch shesd In the Gaudy Dressers' sweep stakes. Mstcrlsls that would redden the cheeka of Broadway'a one flight up tailors are worn by him with something of a Jolly old dssh. He goes In for three-tone shsd Ings. A chocolste brown coat, an autumn leaf vest snd a sand tan pair of pantaloona give the Idea. Or perhaps a dinky lapeled coat of grass green with a Buster Brown bow. Nothing la too bold by dsy. but at night he quiets down to con ventional dinner jacket. While Beaton holds first place among the disciples of the livelier patterns, the season's most sedste snd correctly dressed honors, sccord Ing to stylists, go to Tulllo Csrml natl, movie actor.

But you lay blighters hate to pay a doctor for advice If you can get It free, and any druggist's devil or any Idle bystander will give you all the free advice you want.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sleeping Prone Small granddaughter has always slept on her face, I mean flat, face turned to one side. Two years ago I decided to try It myself. I am Just 70. but this is the best trick I have learned In my whole life. Have not used a pillow nor slept In any other position since, and I enjoy dreamless, refreshing sleep every night, seldom have to get up as I did before. (Mrs. R. D. W.) Answer. Thank you. Our readers may try it and send in reports of their experience. Awkwardness about describing the position la avoided if you say prone. Lying on the back is supine. Menace of the Road I drive a car in my work on short trips dally, but week ends on long trips I have several times barely avoided going to sleep while driving. How can I avoid this drowsiness? A. L. S.) Ans. Dont go on long drives. If you must. It is your duty to stop somewhere off the road and nap awhile In safety when you become so drowsy. Never drive in a clooed car. Probably many Inexplicable accidents are due to drivers being slightly over come by carbon monoxide in the air of a closed car. , Skin Lotion For years my mother used a skin lotion you gave her, which kept her skin soft and white.

HOFFMANN Comment on the Day s News By FBANK JENKINS A SOUTHERN OREGON musician (a woman) addressed an audi ence of business men the other day on the subject of "Music Apprecia tion.' (And got away with it. Those hard-boiled business men sat PP" eyed with Interest all the way through and at the end admitted to themselves that they might have been missing a lot out of their lives.) IT IS a scientifically established fact," she began, "that people can live without knives and forks live Just as long, probably, aa with them, for human fingers are perfectly adapted to the task of conveying food to human mouths. "But knives and forks help civil ized beings to get more enjoyment out of living than savages get." h'pEOPLE can live without haircuts dte BUU Oil a V DO a KJO BUG CUUUUUCUi "and I'm told they can even live without baths. But you could hardly call It living Just barely existing would be nearer the truth. "And so It is with music. People CAN get along without It, but they miss an awful lot. With music, the lives of human beings are far richer and fuller and more enjoyable than without it." "OST people tell me," ahe con 1V1 tided, "that they don't care for grand opera." "Well, that's natural. They're prob ably never taken the trouble to gain an understanding of It, and with out some understanding of grand opera you Just can't care much for It. "But onoe you get some under standing of opera, you're pretty sure to get some enjoyment out of It. And whatever enjoyment you get out ot It will mske your lite fuller and better." eyHERE'S a thought there worth considering. The chances are you didn't care much for your first olive. But after you LEARNED TO LIKE OLIVES you had something NEW to enjoy that you didn't have befqre. It's the same way with good mu sic. Maybe you dont care so much for It at first, but after you've LEARNED to care for It you have something new to enjoy that you didn't have before. AFTER all, you know, we have only ONE LIFE to live, and the more enjoyment we can get out of living It the better the bargain we make. It muslo helps us to get mors enjoyment out of living the only life we have to live, It'a certainly well worth while. That's the point this musician was making in her talk, and she did a good Job of It. (Continued from Page One.) dent Garner. It la an old hobby of his. Ths case uppermost In his mind Is supposed to be that of Andrew Mel lon'a Aluminum Company of America. In fact. Mr. Melton's nsme wss men tioned specifically when the tax sub ject waa broached at that secret White House pow-wow. A corporation now Is taxed heavily on undivided surpluses only If It Is trying to avoid dividend taxes. The trouble (ss Mellon used to tell Gar ner) Is that the treasury csn never prove the svoldsnce. Consequently the tax la nullity. The really good tax experts gener ally oppose taxes along this line. They know It Is necesssry for corporations to hsve surpluses to meet lesn years. Such a tax now. however, might drive reserves out into expenditures for plant Improvements, etc thus a.dlng the general Business situation. Those who know Georgia polltlca best seem to agree that the self-roede Talmadge tornado Is running down Unless It Is wound up again by some unforeseen developments. . the New Deal will not even need an umbrella for protection against It. Indeed, the word Is accredited on the Inside that Talmadge may resign ss a result of his Istest state tlnsn clal plight. His purpose would be thereby to generste new fury from the people.

Communications Frankness Needed To the Editor: Below Is a copy of a personal letter I received last week from Arthur H. Jenkins. weU known editor of the Farm Journal. Philadelphia: Thanks very much for your letter and the clippings. There have been several competent studies of the Townsend Plan made lately, one of which is by the National Industrial Conference Board of New York. I feel aure they would be willing to send you a copy of this. "The practical objectlona to raie Townsend Plan are so many that It la hard to know where to start listing them. Probably the Immediate break dovm of the plan would be when there waa a general tax same ana refusal to pay the transaction tax to the government. Even before that, the operation of the law would have beeD tied up In the courts, and It Is exceedingly unlikely that a dollar would ever be paid out, even If the law were enacted, which la now Im possible. "I am mentioning this because you ask lust where and how the law would break down. Aa a matter of fact, the law will be blocked not by arguments, but by ridicule. No argu ment can teach the deluded believers In the plan. "Very truly yours "Arthur H. Jenkins. Editor. If more editors were frank about their opinions of the Townsend Plan, so many people might not be deluded and enthuslastlo about tnia naicu. lo'is political movement. Every edi tor of any standing Is well educated enough In mattera of political econ omy and finance to know full well, that the scheme la utterly lmpracti' cal and unworkable: yet most of them are enigmatic and ambiguous and even advocate giving the plan a trial. All thla leads to political hy pocrisy and futile controversy. Such editors as Arthur H. Jenkins, editor of the Farm Journal, and yourself Mr. Ruhl. are to be com mended for openly and avowedly op posing such a popular but fallacious political move.
