VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA. OREGON We’re Still Getting Mad Qn as the Savages Do When Tom Sawyer and the new boy first met and took one another’s measure they worked themselves up to the point of combat by passing In sults and dares. In the Arabian desert, when the tribes feel the urge for battle, they prepare for It by dis patching impudent verse back and forth. When one side feels that the impertinence can only be atoned for in blood the shouts give way to blows. All very childish, of course. But Is it so much different from the civ ilized methods? Young Italians threaten the British embassy in ish places of business. The Brit- ltome and break the windows of Brit ish hurry troops to Egypt. The In spired press of Italy is as contemptu ous of all things British as are the Bedouin versifiers of their tribal ene mies. And Britain moves up warships from Gibraltar to Malta, in the very shadow of the Italian toe, as though to pinch it The principle is the same all the way through, and even the practice does not Increase great ly In dignity. Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomul- Blon, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes as the germ-laden phlegm Is loosened and expelled.

Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.). Watch Your Kidneys/ Be Sure They Properly Cleanse the Blood y OUR kidneys are constantly filter- I ing waste matter from the blood stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do not act as nature in tended—fail to remove impurities that poison the system when retained. Then you may suffer nagging back ache, dizziness, scanty or too frequent urination, getting up at night, puffiness under the eyes; feel nervous, misera ble—all upset. Don't delay? Use Doan's Pills. Doan's are especially for poorly func tioning kidneys. They are recom mended by grateful users the country over. Get them from any druggist.

WNÜ—13 I CT A R MOVIE AND RADIO £ -- -------- By VIRGINIA VALE—....................... ....................... — COME of the movie fans and C? autograph seekers possess almost uncanny talent when it comes to reaching movie play ers. If you go to call on a mo tion picture star at a hotel you’re questioned by one per son after another; even It the star Is an old friend, you’ll have a hard time finding out which suite you’re to go to, and In gaining admittance. But when ZaSu Pitts was In New York, one auto graph seeker, who looked like a thug just out of jail, got to her rooms with out any trouble. I think one of the ZaSu Pitts things she liked best about her New York stay was the fact that the po licemen near the hotel signed their names on a list and sent it to her, requesting autographed photographs. —♦— Jean Parker certainly started something when she announced that the one love of her life was Fran cis Lucus, a bank clerk living In Los Angeles, who wouldn’t marry her because he earns only $65 a month. He came out with an an nouncement that there’d been a boy and girl romance between them long ago, but that it had been over for some time. Then she declared that she'd never made the statement at tributed to her, and that anywaj’, lie wasn’t poor. So it must have been two other people. morning of the day when the awards were to be broadcast he was so nervous that he couldn’t even say “Alois Havrilla” clearly. But once he got before the “mike” the nervousness was gone; the mike acts like magic on radio announcers. Morton Downey’s on the high seas, bound for England, where he’ll do some singing. Barbara Bennett Downey will join him in January, when the new baby Is old enough to be left at home with the nurses. —*— It’s practically impossible to get a ticket to one of Major Bowes’ broadcasts, they’re so popular. Re cently an owner of a radio chain in the Middle West telegraphed a request for two tickets for a broad cast three weeks ahead — and learned that he might get them, per haps, in about a year! Ann Harding, who has never been lovelier than in “Peter Ibbetson,” is all set to do “The Witness Chair” for her next picture. By the way, both she and Gary Cooper are ex cellent in RKO’S revival of the old love story. — ★ — ODDS AND ENDS . . . Betty Fur ness, of the radio, was chosen Miss National Fur Week . . .

You see, she likes to wear tailored suits. —♦— The boys and girls around the Paramount studio who work in Marlene Dietrich’s pictures are going to miss her when she leaves hose parts. For Marlene serves tea when she's working on a picture, and tea usually includes a cake that she's baked herself. That’s not just a publicity story, ei ther — she really Dietrich loves to cook.

Child Will Read Story That He Thinks Is Good •‘Who shall define Interest fpr an other person, compounded as It is of the raw material of which personal ity Is made?” queries a writer In the Parents’ Magazine, declaring that there Is apt to be one of two reasons why a child does not like to read. Either he has not mastered the tech nique of reading to an extent where no voluntary effort must be exerted or else he has not had access In suffi cient numbers to books which corre spond to his Idea of a good story. “Your child will read it he but dis covers the books particularly right for his Interests and tastes,” declares the writer whose experiences with children and books has convinced her that there does not live the youngster who will not listen to a good story, and since reading Is only a method of listening to a good story, will not read if the book is about something in which he is either ac tually or potentially Interested; Is written in words and style suitable to his reading ability; has the de gree of advancement suitable to both his emotional and intellectual age levels. Those two developments, by the way, are at entirely different rates of speed.

MOVEMENT ON TO GET FINGERPRINTS OF ALL AMERICANS The movement to fingerprint every American Is gathering force, Vera Connolly reports In December Good Housekeeping. This author Interviewed bankers. Insurance men and lawyers as well as state and federal authorities, and found fingerprinting generally used today In banks and commercial busi ness’ firms to protect signatures. The Bowery Savings bank, in New York City, for instance, records the impression of the fingertips of every depositor. "Some savings banks are going even further,” she writes. “They have under contemplation requiring fingerprints on all withdrawal slips. They require a fingerprint on a slip before admitting a person to the safe deposit vaults. This eliminates not only the man bent on robbery, but the racketeer or crook who wishes to use his box as a hideaway for cash bribes or stolen jewelry. “Some day, undoubtedly, every one of us, In drawing a check of large denomination, on a commercial bank, will as automatically finger print It as now we sign it. This is a prophecy made by many thoughtful business men. Fingerprinting would be too much trouble? If used on small checks, yes. But would you re gard the simple gesture of pressing your finger against an Inkless pad and then on top of your signature as too exhausting an ordeal for the ab solute protection it would afford a large check?” That fingerprinting Is going to be required In the future on all accident and life insurance policies is plain, she says. It may be used also to safeguard the forging of wills and making of false claims to estates, insurance or relationship. A will au thenticated by a fingerprint of the person making the will and also the fingerprints of his beneficiaries can not be forged If these fingerprints have been placed on file in Wash Ington. Thousands of people today are registering their fingerprints at Washington. Those wishing to build up the Civil Identification File in Washington should write to the De partment of Justice at Washington for a “personal Identification” card, fill It out with the help of some local official and return it to Washington. The government will do the rest. VOTES BY ELECTRICITY Votes taken in the Riksdag, the parliament of Sweden, are counted by electricity. On the desk of each deputy are three buttons.
