Some are ex-prisoners hugging a martyrdom and shunning a society they feel might stare at them in the clarity of daylight.

But! how is normal fatigue to be dis-i tinguished from abnormal One way to tell is by the time! required for adequate recupera-j tion. The individual who goes to bed tired blit who wakes re- freshed is probably maintaining aj balance in biological energy. The morbidly tired however, is likely to cortipiain that he wakes tired, even after he has slept soundly. In addition, he frequently presents the picture! of fatigue.

His eyes are heavy, he yawns, his shoulders droop, he moves slowly and his completion is pallid. He often complains of headaches and of vague pains in different parts of his body. He is likely to be irritable, bad-tempered and resentful of noises. Rest is widely useful, but not a universal, remedy for Often exercise, rather than rest, is the required treatment.

Dont take our word for it. Read recent dispatches from Ankara, where President Kemal Ataturk, the Turkish dictator, reviewed a huge military spectacle at the opening of a three-day celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the Kemalist republic. Ataturks adopted daughter, Sabiha, a national heroine, headed a squadron of bombing planes.

A stunt? Well, it happens that all the planes were piloted by women, and they were maneuvering over a field where 2,000 women soldiers of the 1922 war against Greece were marching in review. The Turkish women have marched right out of the harem. They cal) Ataturk the remolder of the nation. Remolder is right.

Tragedy Under The After a bit of this he made his way home to Cumberland, he hadnt wanted to bother the folks and made a fresh start.

He had sold stuff to magazines, and had appeared in about 30 plays at the Pasadena playhouse before I Hollywood noticed him. Since then hes done seven pictures usually getting killed off before the end. Sort of a gruesome career, he said, but I like character stuff and characters get killed, at least when I play them. About two years after George made his home under the a pretty young actress found tne same Hollywoodland sign the answer to her problems. She leaped off the top of one of the letters to her death.

A movie would have had George there at the time, to save her life But the scenario didnt read that way. ooo They are called flits. A rather triumphant phrasing for that increasing swarm of lavender boys who caught the idea from the London stage that its smart to be effeminate. The appellative is said to have stemmed from the proclivity of the genus to swish about with arms upraised and wrists dangling or arms akimbo. There are several at every tea among the theatre folk and their cavorting is featured at every first nigh'.

London reports a distinct reaction against the flits in the theatre and other arty circles but, sadt to say, the casts of imported English plays show no thinning of the usual quotas. oOo The passing of Osgood Perkins, expiring suddenly after the first performance of a new play being tried out at Washington, deprives the theatre of a vivid personality. He typified the new type of actor who helped lift the stage from vagabondage. Well born, a Harvard graduate, ne played the piano and violin, and painted an acceptable landscape. He was one who made his art a business and never trifled with it.

He gave his all to a part and demanded as much of as so dates. The adlibber wha shortweighed his audience never repeated when the Perkins tongue had lashed out at him. Only once, at a Brock Pemberton tea, did I ever see him out of his stage role. He was one who refused to be typed. After setting a new high as a portrayer of hard-Doiled comedy parts, he held out for months until he was cast differently.

One of the most sought-after actors, he thought each part would be his last. And the only feature of ills dramatic death he would have felt badly about was inconveniencing the management. To him the business of dying would have meant just another exist! His 1932 baseball playing ended with a perfect fielding average.

the removal of waste, products, Lymph, which is the fluid portion of blood, escapes from the small-i est of the vessels, and works its way through and among the cells. It brings food to them, and car- i ries off their waste products. The blood is kept in circulation by the hearts" contractions, but lymph circulation is maintained by the contraction of the various muscles of the body. In the case of lymph stagnp-! tion, cellular metabolism is re-! tarded, and this, plus the accumu- lation of waste products, may give rise to fatigue. Such fatigue can therefore be remedied by muscular activity, or by mas- sage.

Excessive morbid fatigue calls for a careful and 'minute scrutiny of the individuals personal hygiene, which singly are seemingly insignificant, may add up to a large drain on ones energies. By correcting these defects one can reduce the output of biological energy and balance it with the intake.

There arent so very many sports other than these for him to try his mettle on, for, strange as it seems, hes proved- himself a star in no less I a eight different sports. Patrick started on his amazing athletic career by playing basketball for his Sunday school at the age of 11. Five years later he was starring as the youngest player in organized senior basketball, and three or four ycate ago was chosen best forward in Canadian amateur basketball. Boxing is another top sport with the young Canadian.

In 1935, he won his countrys a a eur heavyweight title. Later in the" same year he won the Washington state championship. In baseball, Patrick has starred as catcher and field1 er on Victoria, B. C. teams.

THIS COURT PROTECTS JOHN In another state, a policeman saw a man coming out of a house. lie suspected the man was the seller of lottery tickets, so he asked him to go along to the station house for questioning. The man was scared. He told t'he policeman that if he were allowed to go free, hed make it all right with him, give him his automobile or anything. The policeman refused to relent and the man broke and ran.

He wasnt picked up until some time later. This time, on the basis of some tickets found in his car, he was charged with breaking the gambling laws. A circuit judge tried the case, agreed with the man's lawyers that the first arrest was illegal, but said that the attemped bribery made the second arrest a legal one. He then tried him on the lottery charge and sentenced him. to pay a fine of $1,000 and to serve five months in prison.

The state court of appeals' considered the case and handed down its decision. Since some parts of that decision have more than the usual importance, we let the court give them in its own words: Colehium Bulb.

Mills.

He represented the highest type of citizenship, an economic royalist who gave freely of time and huge fortune for human betterment. The metropolis, more than any city I know, reacts tc such losses. The morning the news of Will Rogerss tragic ending was received was a striking illustration. It is a matter of record that business all over town came to a sudden standstill. The theatres and movies that night were deserted.

There was a big banquet that had 1,100 paid acceptances. Only a few more tnar. 300 came. Will was articled to the same outfit that syndicates my wares and which, if I may say, is efficiently geared. But there was scarely a wheel turning that day.

1 Indeed, in such case the officer not only is acting in the performance of official duties, but contrary to them, for such conduct can only be regarded as a trespass against the person whom he illegally arrests. To accept any other view would afford members of society no protection whatever against an illegal arrest, merely because an officer entertained some suspicion of their conduct. Thingumbobs: Gen.

MODEST MAIDENS Trademark Registered Patent Office Stuart Cioete. whose name is practically unknown in America, is publishing this week one of the best novels of the fall, albeit not a perfect novel. Mr. Cioete is, it appears, not a man who would much care for perfection in the literary sense. The Turning Wheels is a novel embroidered around the great trek of the Boers, just 101 years ago.

The Boers, harsh, heady and difficult to manage, were disgusted with the acts of the English in the Cape Colony. Rather than compete with them, the Dutch moved out in great numbers, making their way north in scattered bands which, how ever, were in no sense casual cara vans. Careful thought was behind, supplies as inclusive as possible were taken, and precautions were never neglected though not always successful. Chiefly, Mr. Cioete (pronounce it Clewty, the publisher sug- gests) writes about the bands led by Hendrik van der Berg and Paul Pieters.

Besides these men, the important people are a girl of the usual irresistibility; a fat old Dutch woman with great wisdom and much shrewdness; Herman, son of Hendrik, a chap who talked with animals and had a sister named Sara who scouted with him. These and others. The trek was difficult. Canaan, once it was reached, proved unsafe though lovely. Massacre ended the venture after a long while, leaving only a tiny handful of people to carry on the line of the trekkers.

The massacre was -revenged, it is true, but this does not do much to lighten the trag-ed and futility of the venture as a whole. And it is Mr. Cloetes inability really to accept the fact that all this was wasted, was indeed the product of the stony, unyielding, stubborn character of the Boers more than any other thing, that invalidates the book. It is, also, most difficult to keep up a career; of blood letting, lusting, swagger and excitement through 434 pages. And when the bow of the narrative is damned at intervals by such boering lines as Maak gou, jou skelm, ek is haatsig, baie haasting, the temptation to close the book and leave Hendrik and the rest of them to their fate becomes overpowering.

Of course, there is a glossary I saw one of Websters Timid Souls in real life at the Mapguery the other evening. He came ir. hatless but as he went out gave the hat check girl a nickfel. (Copyright, 1937, McJiaught Sunrlicale) Reading that, few can avoid feeling that that particular court of appeals is a pretty good court in that, regardless of the current vogue wire-tapping, seizing telegrams, arresting without warrant and shooting first and investigating afterward, it still dares set up bounds beyond which even policemen may not venture.

There is not a curve on this road and it is a four-lane highway, yet, according to the statement of the chief highway engineer of New Jersey, there are more accidents on this straight, four-lane highway than any other road in this state. A road cannot be made fool-proof or whiskey-proof and a sensible driver will slow down on a curve.

The thought occurs to the editor of The News that curves are not dangerous if the drivers of automobiles, trucks and busses would reduce their speed on all curves to SO miles an hour. We need safer driving more than eliminating Curves. The fastest road probably in the United States is from draughts Hill, but in fifty-five years of observation in the operation of the L. N.
