Sound Rules Laid Down for Cultivated Speech Do you talk In a high, thin voice, asks an elocutionist in the Weekly Irish Times? This is very irritating to the ear. Yon may not be able to cultivate a deep rich tone but you can easily lower your voice and avoid that metallic tinkle. Or do you speak too slowly or too hurriedly? Both are worrying. The slow voice makes listeners Impatient; hurried speech leaves them gasping. Adopt a moderate speed. Too softly or too loudly? A too soft voice can sometimes be as nerve racking as a too loud one, the former because it makes people strain to hear you, and the second because it Jars. In a “dashing-’ manner—introduc ing all the latest catchwords, slang, risque expressions, and, perhaps, even swear words? The two last named are not dashing, but merely undignified and chenp. And slavish cultivation of all the latest cliches posits rather to a Jack of individ uality. With your jaws and not your lips? Some people keep their lips more or less stiff when speaking, and move the jaw energetically. But for at tractive speech the lips should be the more energetic, shaping, opening and coming forward well. Too “heav ily” or too “lightly"? Either can be annoying to the listener. Practice the happy mean. With force, or ineffectively? Do people listen attentively when yuu apeak, or does their attention wan der? Don't be afraid of your own voice. Make up your mind what you want to say, then say it clearly, and calmly.

WNU Service. By IRVING BERLIN Famous Composer. ONLY the person who suffers from Insomnia knows the rav aged nml terrors of the still night hours before the dawn of day. Through the night lilting tunes and huuntlng melodies come to Irv ing Berlin, the fnmous composer; but sleep eludes him. “Once during a hot summer night," Mr. Berlin related, "I was staying at a small Broadway hotel during the production of one of my tirst musical comedies. "Tired out from the work of re hearsal, I could have fallen Into a light sleep, but I was disturbed by the snoring of the man In the next room. I paced the lloor. The snor ing grew louder and weirder. It was uncanny. At four o’clock It stopped, and I fell asleep for a few minutes, only to be awakened again by the regularity of th« harsh notes. I slept by fits and starts. “At six o'clock I remember I was awake. “Frantically, I walked Into the hall. The snoring man’s door was open. 1 pushed aside the ventilat ing screen. An empty white-rock bottle caught my eye. I picked It up and, with one blow, brought It down with revenge upon the man's head. It shattered Into hundreds of pieces. Blood trickled down the man’s face. This was horrible. “The next thing I knew a hand was grasping my arm. 1 could feel It, but could not see It. Wns It the dead man’s ghost? I tried hard to visualize It—was It the hand of a spirit detective? “I reached up to push the hand away. “ ‘Wnke up,’ roared a bellboy, who was tugging at my nrin. ‘You left a call for seven o’clock. Hope you had a nice night's sleep,’ he add ed, Jauntily. “ ‘The man In the next room has complained that he dreamed he heard the noise of some one wnlklng back nnd forth, back and forth, all night. Hope you didn’t hear anything queer.”’ By JOAN CRAWFORD Motion Picture Actress. *iqINCE childhood, 1 have been ^ afraid of darkness. It Is a fear which embodies nothing defi nite; but complete darkuess terri fies me. Consequently, I always leave a dim light burning in the dressing room which opens from my bedroom,” snid Joan Crawford. "A short time ago I had an amaz ing experience. One night at eleven o’clock tills lamp flickered fitfully, almost going out completely and then burning again. 1 paid ltttle at tention to It, thinking something was wrong with the current. When the same thing happened the next night, at the same hours, eleven and twelve, I called In an electrician to test the wiring at the house, and of the lamp. Nothing wrong was found. “On the third night we stayed home Just to watch the lights. We turned them on all over the house, at eleven o’clock, but that In the dressing room behaved in the same peculiar fashion. I did not want to go out to dance or sing. On the fourth night, I moved from my room to one of the guest rooms, but be cause of my silly fear of the dark, which I know psychologists would say I should have overcome in my childhood, I left a light burning In the hall outside my room. At eleven o’clock that light began to flicker and a few minutes before twelve, it went out entirely. We were completely mystified. “The next morning 1 received a wire from New Pork telling me that one of my oldest friends, a woman who had been very kind to me in the early days of my career, had died at midnight the night before. “The telegram stated that four nights before my friend had been taken to the hospital for an emer gency operation, that she had been operated on approximately at eleven o’clock, and that she had hovered between life and death during the period when 1 had trouble with my dressing room lamp. “My lights went back to their usual steady behavior after that fourrh night. 1 can’t explain It. Perhaps there was something de fective in the current—perhaps not.’’ X-Ray Teit* Steel Catting* Hidden cracks In the Interior of heavy steel castings are detected by a powerful X-ray machine mount ed on wheels.

Sidewalk Cafe By LEONORA WOODWARD ®. McClura Nawapaper Syisdleata. WNIT Sarvlr* THB rnln swept suddenly down jpon Fifth avenue nnd drove the diners Indoors. AH but Con stance who left her young man for a gap In the boxed hedge and ducked around the nearest corner. Like a bedraggled chicken running for cover, she thought a little hys terically, and hailed a passing cab. "And that's that,"-murmured Con stance settling herself ns comfort ably ns possible, meaning that she had written a rnther clever ending to an evening of adventure. Mean ing that If a girl tins been so Indis creet ns to pick up a man, the bet ter part of valor lies In flight. Once back In her hotel room, sur veying her rnln-drenched self In the mirror, all fear vanished nnd all sense of shame as well. She was glad that she had got dust In her eye and had to have It removed by the best looking mnn In New York! It had all happened because she had si>ent n two weeks’ vacation In New York alone and this hnd been her Inst night. And dining all by yourself In one of those romnntlc sidewalk cafes between Madison and Washington squares wasn't so pleasant If you remembered that very shortly you must return to Mr. Herring and Ids typewriter back In Midvale. The best looking young mnn she hnd ever seen wns dining just two tables away quite alone. A bit of Fifth avenue lodged In her eye. It felt more like the Em pire State building, although It came out nt the first dab of Con stance’s handkerchief. But Con stance, discarding nil her aunt's teachings, hnd continued to wipe her eye and had even moaned a little for good measure. It had worked! The tall blond young man hnd left his sent to offer assistance. He had said: “You see, I’ve had a great deal of experience; my mother was always getting things In her eye. So If you’ll permit me—” Constance hnd submitted bravely to having her ridiculously long Inshes rolled back on a match and to having the corner of a very large, very clean linen handkerchief In serted In a perfectly clear eye. "There!" the young mnn had an nounced at last and gravely showed her a fleck of dust on his handker chief. So the blond young mnn moved over and they lingered over cofTee and cigarettes. They exchanged names and other unimportant Infor mation which on Constnnce’s part, at least, wns strictly misleading. She still preferred to be a New Yorker down for her shopping. Ills name wns Bill Maynnrd. He was the sort you called Bill at once. He had lived In New York all Ids life. Bill wns saying: “You’re a real person, Constance. I mean—real." Constance had wanted to say that she wasn’t real, nt least she wasn’t whnt he thought her. She wanted to tell him that she was Just a stenographer from the Middle West enjoying n vacation in New York. • ••*••• A few days later she wns walk ing the streets of her home town. Jobless. She knew she ought to be regis tering nt an employment agency but nothing seemed to matter now. She hnd lost her Job and BUI. She looked nt a store set hack from the sldewnlk and thought, “What a grand place for n sldewnlk cafe." Then said sternly to herself: “Look here, Constnnce, this won’t do, you know. You’ve got to be nonchalant," and took out her com pact to repair the dnmnges from not being nonchalant. After that she felt better. She could even face the wind which was blowing off Main street and then it happened again! All the dirt from Main street was In her eye and no amount of rubbing did any good. She turned blindly toward the nearest door. She'd have to sit down and find her handkerchief; she’d have to find some one to help her. Only there wasn’t any Bill now. Some one inside was taking her elbow, leading her to a seat. A pro fessional voice murmured, “It’s rath er dusty, isn’t It? Now If you’ll Just hold still a moment—” And then gentle, efilclent fingers were rolling back her ridiculously tong lashes. “There, do you want to see what did the damage?" Constance opened her eyes. She saw a glass case filled with eye glasses above which was a sign ’We Are Glad to Uemove Dust from Your Eyes Free of Charge." She looked up and there was— ••Bint” “Constance “But how, when, where—” It simply couldn't be true. “You darling! did you think I’d let you get away so easily? In all that nonsense you told me, you hnd said you were stopping at the Trey more. And when I found that you were from Midvale, svell, ftlidvale was us good a place to hunt for a job as any, so—" •You found u Job and 1 lost one.” “You only need one Job In a fam tly," said B*ll confidently. “1 hadn't," and Constance smiled, "thought of that." —^* Food Supplies Stored for Castaway Sailors To be shipwrecked on some lonely Island or rock, where there Is no food, Is a fate which has often be fallen sailors. It Is those spots of land which are at a great distance from the regular ocean highways where the outlook for castaways is so desperate. Yet It Is Just these very islands on to which a disabled ship may drift. Typical of these islands are those called Amsterdam. St. Paul and the Crozets, lying to the south of the In dian ocean. In the old dnys sure star vation was the fate of any man stranded on St. Paul. Today he will llnd on the rocky beach a notice board hearing the In scription In French, “Food and cloth ing for castaways.’’ Following the di rection indicated by a wooden hand, he comes across a rough stone hut, in which there is a store of preserved beef, biscuits, woolen shirts, blank ets and matches. All these goods are contained in strong barrels, which can be easily opened. As long ago as 1887 a French ves I sel left beer, biscuits and sardines on one of the Crozet islands. Nearly twenty years after, the food was eaten by the shipwrecked crew of a Norwegian whaling expedition. Constipated? The doctors say . . . Use liquid treatment Here is the soundest advice anyone can give on the subject of laxatives. It is bas$d on medicr.l opinion. We want you to have the benefit of this information no matter what laxative you may buy: The secret of real relief from consti pation is reduced dosage. You can’t regulate the bowels unless you can regulate the help you give them. That is why doctors use a liquid laxative; the dose can be measured to a drop. Avoid laxatives that you can’t cut down in dosage; especially those that seem to require larger doses than when you began their use. Under the doctor’s care, you usual ly get a liquid laxative. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help, and tne right amount of help. Smaller and smaller doses— until you don’t need any. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara—natural laxatives that form no habit.
