BALTIMORE, January 10.— Lizette Woodworth Reese, whcse scnnet “Tears” ‘and other poems brought her fame, believes peo- ple are reading mystery and de- tective stories so widely these days because so few ‘“respectable characters”. are 4o be found in other modern fiction. Celebreting her 77th birthday annivcrsary here yesterday, Miss Reese, who has written poe since she was a girl of 14, caid: | “So much of the fiction today is written' with a desire to be startling or to present the ugly. In the detective story, the reader at least finds his sence of justice zatisfied by the criminal being apprehended &nd punished.” DANCE AND CARD PARTY The Rhode Island State Society will hold a dance and card party next Mon- day night st the Arlington Hotel.

A CLEAR-HEADED TALK ABOUT HEAD-COLDS Common sense tells you to use Vapex —the inhalant—for- safe, quick relief TESTS PROVE SUPERIORITY OF VAPIX Unbiased tests by a prominent medical re- search laboratory prove that the vapor of a single drop of Vapex kills dense colories of germs present in head-colds. In exacily similar tests, other inbalants (often offered a1 substitates for Vapex) were shown to be greatly inferioe in i Many cheaper imitations of Vapex are said to be “just a8 good.” But Science proves they are not. Vapex has a remarkable germ- killing power. This is the extra value that Vapex brings you at very little extra coat. Davis G.!on the Miami-Biltmore golf course at TWOD.C. FLYERS HURT IN GRASHES Amateur Pilots in Forced Landings in Florida and West Virginia. ‘Two Washington amateur pilots were injured yesterday afternoon in crashes resulting from bad weather forced landings, one at Coral Gables, Fla. and one in West Virginia. The Coral Gables accident resulted| in the injury of the pilot, Curtis M.| (Jack) Henderson, 1601 Argonne place, | and two passengers, Miss Marian Eddy, actress and aviatrix, and M. W. Leap- hart of Wheellng‘.‘ W. Va. The other crash resulted minor injuries to John C. Breckinridge, one of the Na- tion's oldest_active afrplane pilots and a cousin of Henry Breckinridge, former Secretary of War. § Henderson's plane struck a pine tree Coral Gables, according to Associated A HEAD-COLD is really an inflam- mation of the breathing pas- sages. And the natural and quickest way to relieve it is by breathing Vapex. It is difficult to reach these hidden passages with sprays, drops, salves, or gargles, but Vapex gets to the seat of a head-cold with the first breath. That is why millions of people breathe Vapex. Just a few drops on your handkerchief and at the ends of your pillow give you twenty-four-hour relief. Pleas- ant and easy relief, too, because Vapex is as refreshing as moun- tain air. Yet the vapor kills germs that swarm in the nasal passages dur- ing a cold. The germ-killing power of Vapex plus its pene- trating power make Vapex a remarkably effective means of relieving every head-cold. Scien- tific tests by an unbiased medi- cal research laboratory prove both these facts. Try the easy Vapex way of relieving your next cold.
