ATTRACTION HEADS MARRIAGE FACTORS Six Tests of Successful Union) Are Outlined at Confer- ence Here. Outlining his “Six Tests of Success- | ful Marriage,” before the closing meet- ing ot Calvary Baptist Church last nit of the Conferenece on Conserva- tion of the Home, Dr. Leland Foster Wood, secretary of the Committee on M-=rriage and the Home of the Federal Ccuncil of Churches, placed the “suc- cezs of continued attraction” at the top of his list. Other factors, or tests, he pointed out, ar> the test of harmonious living to- gethar, domestic planning, developing 1ov2 life so that courtship does not end With marriage, giving well-trained chil- dren to society and the test of religion Discussing the test of giving well- 4 children to society, he said: degenerate family with numerous v is laying up trouble for society to come and the family, un- ssarily niggardly in its contribution | ildren for building up of a high type of citizenship, is failing in an impertant social duty.” Stand on Birth Control. Farlier in the day, in answer to a question, Dr. Wood had defined his stand on birth control, when he said “Should we discourage or condemn birth | control we will precipitate greater mar- ital problems than those we might al- lev # Wood listed the “Roots of Di- e and Family Unhappiness” as mis- erstanding and ignorance, prudisk which hempers { ~ to make adjustmon mate relationships of marriage, ! 2mphasis on a pleasure philosophy, mizunderstanding of love, overdepend- ene= on the marriage certificate, finan- cial and practical difficulties, liquor and | drugs, -childlessness, lack of that sort of jon which makes people con- sider and all other resulting ill ad- Justments. Prof. E. R. Groves, conductor of a course in marriage at the University of North Carolina, stressed the need for education in all aspects of marriage and said the greatest hazards to successful marriage are: Marriage of the physical- 1y unfit, mistmating, accidents or other unforeseen misfortunes after marriage and danger of an anticlimax after mar- riage.

Phillips, rector of Epiph- any Episcopal Church, told the con- ference. “No minister,” he continued, “has the right to marry a couple when he hasn't had a confidential conference with’ them.” -Dr. Phillips’ topic was “‘Pre-Maritai Interviews.” He discussed the various topics and problems he invariably talked over with the prospec- tive man and wife, as well as the ad- vice he gave both with a view to making | the marriage more successful. “Follow Up of Marriage.” Taking up where Dr. Phillips left off, Dr. Harvey Baker Smith, pastor of Columbia Heights Christian Church, e of the “Follow Up of Marriage,” scussing the problems which arise after the nuptials, and the part to be played by the minister as a confidant #nd iriend.

Co.—Adver- tigement From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. By E. deS. Toshia Mori Wins Her Spurs. YOUNG lady who pronounces her name “Toe-shee-ah Mor-ee” and who spells it Toshia Mori, is the latest Chinese thespian to win her spurs in the films. A lady of en- viable charms and rare color scheme—somewhat on the order of the not so demure Anna May Wong who visited us in person at Loew’s Fox last Summer she not only has crashed through suddenly as one of those much eulogized Wampas Baby Stars, but she is sald to put much female fire and thunder into the picturization of “The Bitter ‘Tea of General Yen.” which will soon be shown at Mori was hed only re- from be- hind a counter in a Los Angeles Chinatown curio store. Although advance word would have it that “Miss Mori is a girl of splendid edu- cation and refinement, knows Mary Pickford socially, has been in the United States nine years, studied dramatic expression under Ethel Griffies and is a noted actress,” the actual fact is that she was yanked from under the startled eyes of a curio shop proprietor who was genu- inely surprised when his best hench- man was salted away into the films. From Chinese b: and bangle: pieces of jade, lamps and whatnot to a nice fat Hollywood salary an the greedy gape of the public as further solace, is no mean achieve- ment for a daughter of the East. This season, as a matter of fact, the daughters of the East are do- ing “mighty well.” Since Miss Pearl Buck’s “Good Earth,” studio direc- tors have been scurrying through their files trying to find plots with Chinese wails and slanting eye- brows. Even the heart-rending Miss Helen Hayes and the smooth, well groomed Ramon Novarro have been ripped from their proper vestments and distorted into pure Chinese— with Miss Hayes getting down to al- most a zero in height (in “The Son- Daughter”) and Mr. Novarro's head looking lonely and cold without so much as a spear of hair on it. Further than that, the studios are in a frenzy at the moment in their efforts to get some one to play the role of Olan for the film production of “The Good Earth.” The cinema magazines would have us believe that Anna May Wong is now several noses ahead of other actresses as po- tential winners for this role—but other word says that Nazimova is also under consideration, and that everyone on the M.-G.-M. lot is be- €0 Toshia Mori. MELCHER ing photographed for it—this would seem to include Una Merkel, Marion Davies, Polly Moran and some of the other impossible (as far as we are concerned—but not as far as they are) candidates—who often win out. At the moment, however, it is little Miss Mor-ee who is doing the most damage in Chinese circles. Her role in “The Bitter Tea,” while not as important as Barbara Stanwyck's, is nevertheless said to stand out with a vengeance, and word from other cities where this film has played in- dicates that she has caught on al- most with the speed of the salubri- ous Katherine Hepburn. Miss Mori is 5 feet tall and weighs 100 pounds. She has been signed by Columbia Pictures to a long con- tract. This would indicate that she may be able to do something in the cinema world even with that Wam- pas Baby sign hanging around her neck! Cna Munson to Join Clifford Brooke Academy. JORD has been received from Ona Munson, musical comedy star, and last season’s ingenue with the National Players, that she will come to Washington to join the Clifford Brooke Academy of Dra- matic Art. Miss Munson expects to return from Xico, where she has gone for a short vacation, in time to be here for the opening of the school, which takes place next Monday. Maud Howell Smith, Washington dramatic actress and associated with the Washington Drama Guild, is another local thespian of promi- nence who has become associated with this school.

A Few Simple Rules That Will Put a Person on the Side of Safety! While it does not pay to become alarmed over Flu, it does not pay either to be careless. Many a case of Flu could have been avoided with a |few simple precautions. Here are a few rules which may be wisely followed: Stay out of crowded, smoky places. Stay in the sunshine as much as you can, Avoid coughers and sneezers. Dress warmly, keep your feet dry, sleep in a well ventilated room Drink lots of water. Eat plentifully of citrus fruits and their juices. ‘Watch out for colds. The so-called “common cold” often paves the way for flu At the first sign of a cold, do some- thing about it! One of the best things you can do is to take Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine immediately. These tablets are effective because they do four important things. They stuffy and Gy 5 D E -0LD,-ORp -CHANGETH - open the bowels, combet the infection in the system, relieve the fever and headache and tone the entire system. Better still, take Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine as & preventative of colds! A cold is easier avoided than cured. A cold anticipated is & cold thwarted. As a precautionary measure do what thousands are do- ing—watch your living habits and take one or two Bromo Quinine tab- lets every morning and night. That will keep your bowels open and com- bat germ attacks. All drug stores sell Grove's Laxa- tive Bromo Quinine. For more than forty years it has been the standard cold and grippe tablet, the formula keeping pace with Modern Medicine. Now two sizes—30c and 50c.
