She had made it that morning because well, because this was their first wedding anniversary.

cake," Kent observed. Glenda toyed with her coffee spoon and wondered disconsolately if Kent would remember. A year ago today. She sighed reminiscently. She thought suddenly of the first cake she had made heavy as lead.

But Kent had been darn sweet about it. Well, that was one tiling to be grateful for, he had never complained about her cooking. "Tired, honey?" she asked, as Kent rose. Was he really not going to remember what day this was? "No, not very," he said. But Glenda knew better.

He worked hard, and he made a good living, she told herself reproachfully. Strange how she had to tell herself that so often these days, remind herself that she was better off than most young married women. T'ENT went into the living room to smoke his cigar and read the paper. Glenda cleared the dishes from the table, scraped them, and stacked them in the sink until her water heated. There was an empty feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Kent had forgotten their anniversary! Well, she would not remind him. If he didn't think of it all by himself, she wouldn't help him! Just a year ago. How happy she had been! She had thought Kent was perfect. So handsome, so sweet, so considerate of her so altogether perfect! He had had nice manners, too. But he didn't seem to think manners counted for so much any more.

He never, for instance, helped her into the car now, like he used to. He just let her scramble in by herself. It hurt her deep down inside for him to accept her as a matter of course. It was the little courtesies, the tiny acts of thoughtfulness that made for happiness. If he had offered to wipe the dishes for her, for instance, she could even have forgiven him about their anniversary.

But then, he was tired. besides, he never offered to any more, so she didn't know why she should expect it Kent was in his old purple lounging robe and slippers, the living room was full of cigar smoke, and he was buried behind a paper. There he would stay all evening! Glenda swallowed hard. IT 'HEN she had finished the dishes, fth ramo intrt Ua iwm. adl down and gloomily picked up a maga zine.

She was relieved when the doorbell rang. Kent looked at her question- ingly as she went to answer it. "Oh, hello!" Glenda beamed as she opened the door.

He was strong for the NRA in 1933. But no more. He can and does supply more reasons for disliking it than any other citizen just now out in front Born and reared in St. Louis of an old St.

Louis family, he came East for the first time as a student at Williams College. As a young lawyer he was projected into public notice when he expertly straightened out Mark Twain's financial affairs.

As Secretary of State he grooved three Republican administrations into their anti-Soviet policy with his note of protest against the Russian invasion of Poland, telephone booth and picked up a classified directory. By alphabetical arrangement, the top name in the list of casting agencies was Chamberlain Brown.

She called Mr. Brown, made an appointment, and told him what she wanted to do. He got her a part in a play. She appeared in a number of Broadway plays. A Warner scout saw her and she went to Hollywood.

It was as simple as that. She was no drifter. She knew just what she wanted to do, and that was to be a lady heavy, She asked for and got unsympathetic parts. Her screen debut was in "The Jewel Robbery," with William Powell and Kay Francis She had had a previous fling at acting, at the University of Texas and in the Houston little theater group. Vinson was her mother's maiden name.

Her father is an executive of the Texas Oil Company, The Proletariat Moscow. Bold, reckless and belligerent, he is the idol of Marxian proletarians throughout the world, and all signs are that he is out to start something. Many times he has been close to death in his attacks on capitalistic society, and at Berlin two years ago the ax was swinging low over his neck, like the giant cleaver in Poe's "Pit and the Pendulum." When he and General Goering were exchanging savage invective in a German courtroom, not even the reckless would have put a bet on his chance to live. Oddly enough, the London Times seems to have had a part in getting him free and safe in Russia. He was still deep in a dark dungeon after the court had acquitted him.

The Times began thundering and his release coincided with this and other challenging foreign opinion. He escaped from Bulgaria into Ger-Ynany in 1924 and was active in Com munist agitation in the following years. Your Health By Dr. Iago Galdston ALTHOUGH one often hears that "It isn't the heat, it's the humidity," high temperatures as such have cer- tain taxing effects upon the body which, if not counteracted, may lead to disastrous results. The body has a variety of means for keeping its internal temperature at a given level.

Among these, the secretion of sweat and the control of blood flow through the skin by dilatation (i.e., enlarging of its numerous small blood vessels called the capillaries) are the most effective. The body can increase its heat loss by dilating; that is, by relaxing and didn't like Albert, although he had; never said so. "Show Glenda your wrist-watch, honey," Albert said, almost immediately. "Yesterday was Cathy's birthday." "Oh, yes!" Catherine exclaimed, and displayed her wrist dramatically. "Why, Catherine! It's gorgeous!" Glenda caught her breath at the beauty of the little jeweled watch.

"And the extravagant thing sent me roses, too!" Catherine pattsd Albert's cheek affectionately. "How nice," Glenda murmured. wave of jealousy that swept over her brought quick color to her face. Catherine had a prize husband. Of course, he wasn't as good-looking as Kent, but he was attractive in a devil-may-care way.

And he sent Catherine flowers, he remembered her birthdays and their anniversaries. Glenda sighed unhappily. "How about a little game of bridge?" Albert rubbed his hands together. Glenda caught Kent's slight frown, but went for the bridge table. It would be good for him to suffer through a game of bridge, she thought fiercely.

She brought the table to him and he set it up in silence. He said little throughout the evening and, when the Spanes finally left he plainly showed his relief. "Why don't you like Al?" Glenda demanded. "Oh, he's all right." Kent yawned. "At least he remembers his wife's birthday!" she said hotly.

He stared at her. Then, suddenly, light dawned. "Oh, my lord!" he said. "It's our anniversary: But his profuse apologies left Glenda coldly unmoved. IT was a few weeks later.

Glenda was preparing dinner stuffing celery with Roquefort cheese. Kent hated Roquefort cheese, and he would not be pleased with her dinner tonight, but she wasn't trying to please him. She was cooking for her own palate now. Yes. and from now onr "Oh, say.

Glen," Kent said, when they were almost through dinner. "Got some bad news for you." Glenda waited, her fork in midair. What could it be? Had Kent lost his job? "Yes?" she asked fearfully. "Catherine's divorcing Al. He's run off with another woman." Glenda's fork clattered on to her plate.

But was she sure? Any more so than Catherine had been. Cold fear gripped her, and she looked at Kent with wide, frightened eyes. "What's the matter, honey?" He rose and came round to her.

"Are you ill?" "Oh, Kent!" Glenda sobbed as she flung herself into his arms. "You'll never do what Al did?" Kent looked at her queerly, and then he lifted her chin. 'Look here, Glenda, how can you ask such a thing? Don't you know how much I love you, darling, even though I may not say much about it or send you flowers and things?" I'm sorry, Kent. Of course I know you do love me "Plenty!" He kissed her. "Now then! How about letting me help with the dishes?" She hugged him.

TREACHEROUS FRIEND Toor sap, the bard who sweetly snug That mem'ry is the friend of grief Bueh ignorance as that alas! Is pretty near beyond belief. A friend? Good land is that a friend Which keeps your sad emotions stirred? Kay, that were better friend, indeed, That speaks the gay, diverting word. A very Scurvy trick it is That mem'ry plays on those who're sad By ever dishing up tlioir grief At moments when they might be dad.

It only made poor Jimmy sore Because, when I'd got through, you see. I'd touched him for a dollar more. IT IS FOOLISH to cry over spilt milk.

There probably is enough water in it anyway. MR. HOOVER'S renewed Presidential aspirations are premature. We haven't had time enough, yet, to accumulate anything worth losing. SUN SQUARE DOLVS Or The Diary Of ATrafllc Cop Friday I will get even with that there sorrel-top wife of mine for that.

I can take it when she hands lighting and insulting remarks to me in private but when she blurts them out right in the presence of company, that is some thing else. I will even go so far as to agree that it is a sort of privilege that wives enjoy to harp on a husband's Saws, if he has any, and even to make up some imaginary flaws to harp on when there ain't no outsiders around to get a earful. At any rate it is a old custom and I don't guess anything can change it But I do think it ought to be a closed season for insulting husbands when company is present. But the trouble is, as married life goes on, wives get callous. In the early stages they smile on you and fawn on you in public and reserve criticism for private moments.

It in't long, though, before they can't wait for privacy and start kicking you on the shins under a table or pinching your arm surreptitious or giving you black looks. Then comes the time when they throw all consideration aside and bawl a man out right in front of everybody. They will belittle him in the presence of others. They will even sneer him before strangers. like last night when we had com pany down to the summer shore place and took them out for row on the river and we heard some others that was out on the river singing.

"Singing," I says, "always seems to sound better over the water." "It sure does," says the company. Why don't you sing something?" I says. "What would you like me to sing?" "Wait a minute!" says that wife of mine. "Singing over the water may Improve it but, after all, this is only river and I think it would be better for you to wait to do your singing until we are out on the ocean some time." Well, I have got to say is that am day ah is going to be sorry for thai pjELEN VINSON, the film actress, spotlighted today in her reported engagement to Fred Perry, the British tennis star, could tell pretty girls just how to get on the stage and into the movies, if they should want to know and most of them do. Her method was simple.

So she went into Dimitroff Idol Of EORGI DIMITROFF, the Bulgar-ian Communist, became a Soviet citizen when the Germans released him after his trial on a charge of participation in the Reichstag fire, in 1933.

That, of course, gives more point to the American note of protest, growing in part out of Mr. Dimitroff utterances about proletarian doings over here. Of obscure and somewhat mysterious back ground, dropping Georffi Dimitroff out of the news after his fiery encounters with the German judge, he seems to have started an important train of events.

An auspicious day for expressing sentimental thoughts, presenting gifts, social activities and diversified entertainment. This day probably will see a happy reunion with old friends or relatives, terminating in much pleasure. If a woman and August 31 is your birthday, you are full of the joy of living, delighting in amusements of all sorts, especially the terpsichorean art. Graceful and probably very light on your feet, you should be a very good dancer. Music has possibly a strong appeal.

You are rather inclined to be extremely punctilious with strangers. It might be advisable not to be too cool when meeting people for the first time, but display animation and friendliness. Artistic, you may win a name, if you apply the right amount of application to the study of interior decorating, singing, professional dancing, acting or work of an educational nature. Many blessings may come to you through marriage. If a man and August 31 is your natal day, you are probably instinctively good naturcd, but may nt times conceal it by an assumption of severity, which is likely to prove a mistake.

The noted director and his wife, who was the former Norma Drury, concert pianist, were married six years ago. Studios Pledge Aid To Film Library AJOR Hollywood studios have been pledged to cooperate with the Museum of Modern Art Film Library- in New York, which will "assemble, catalogue and preserve out standing motion pictures showing development and progress of the art." Studio representatives pledged cooperation at a dinner given by Mary Pickford.

John Hay Whitney is president of the library, John E. Ebbott. vice-president and general manager, and Edward M. Warburg, treasurer. Unless steps are taken to preserve pioneer films they will become useless for further projection and will be lost, it was said.

The library will be operated on an educational, nonprofit best. wit IT'HET to HETHER theatergoers will want see and hear Will Rogers, now that he is gone, will be determined in test runs of one of his last two pictures, "Steamboat 'Round the Bend." The film is being shown in a number of cities now. There is little precedent for the posthumous release of a talkie starring an actor so prominent and popular. After Rudolph Valentino's death his silent picture, "Son of the Sheik," became a box-office bonanza. The almost simultaneous deaths of Olive Thomas and Bobby Harron resulted in their pictures being released after their sudden passing.

They did not prove successful, records show. Silent revivals featuring Wallace Reid, Barbara La Marr and Mabel 1 ormand have not been well received. But whether theatergoers now will care to hear the recorded voice of Rogers seemed to be the chief ques tion over which officials at his studio were divided. One argument was that voices of famous singers and actors have been enjoyed through phonograph recordings many years after they were dead. Faye-Vallee Romance Rumors Suffer Blow LICE FAYE, having rented ai dence, has decided to pass up her customary eastward dash at the end of her current picture-making and Hollywood takes that to mean her romance with Rudy Vallee Is on the wane.

Miss Fave denied she is "seriously interested" in any one, including Johnny McGuire and Dick Powell, with whom she has been seen frequently in public.

Victor Jory, a re Florence Hice with Miss Rice in a forthcoming film, suggests "Charlie Chan" as the proper cognomen, since Charlie is a Chinese and a policeman.

This has the effect of bringing much of the body's blood to "the surface," with consequent increase in the amount of body heat lost by radiation. But the dilatation of the skin blood i vessels actually involves an increase in the blood volume of the body. This increase in blood volume is accomplished by drawing into circulation water stored in other tissues. In this connection the value of drinking sufficient amounts of water becomes self-evident, for if the body is dehydrated that is, without sufficient water it is handicapped in loss of heat by radiation. But, if water is to be drunk in adequate amounts, we must not forget the importance of adding extra salt to our meals and at times, too, to our water.

Even more important than the loss of heat by radiation is the cooling effect of perspiration. In fact, when the temperature of the surrounding air is higher than the body temperature, perspiration is practically the only way in which the body may rid itself of excess heat. Perspiration, too, is profnoled by drinking adequate amounts of water, and here, too, the intake of salt must be sufficient. Sweat is salty, nd therefore, the sodium chloride which the body loses through perspiration must be made up in our food. drill.
