Risks Life for |'Movies

One of the most popular actresses
in moving pictures is Miss Florence
Turner, who plays with the Vita
graph company. Miss Turner has been
the heroine in many a thrilling melo-
drama, and because she has played
her parts SO realistically she has won
some hundreds of thousands of al
mirers between the two oceans, snd
even over in Europe. There isn't a
thing she won't do to make the photo
plays in which she appears seem real.
A couple of years ago the Vita
graph company was staging a play,
one scene of which represented
young woman falling from a boat
into the water. The director lele-
phoned the details to Miss Turner.
who appeared at the appointed time.
"By the way, how well do you
swim, Miss Turner?" the director
asked, just as she was about to per-
form the act.
Il don't swim at all; in fact, I've
never been in the water. But I'm not
bit afraid" she replied
The director. looking at Miss Tur-
ner much as he would an escaped
lunatic. ordered her home. But she
insisted. 1t was a rescue scene; and
weren't there three good swimmers at
hand ready to pull her out?
An argument ensued, but eventually
Miss Turner won her point. She fell
overheard as natural as life and
sunk quite as naturally. Being a
stranger to the salt, salt sea, she
found the sinking sensation not en-
tirely delightful The descent seemed
endless, but finally she felt herself
rising. Imagine her discouragement
on reaching the top to find her res
cuers not even In sight.
She went down again. On coming

FINE START.

The gathering at the Commerce.
club rooms last night. with which the
club started its series of regular bi-
weekly dinners for the winter, was
voted by everyone present the best
meeting in the history Of the club.
The program was very informal, and
was intended TO be so. II was devoted
To glances ovcr the doings of the club
during the summer. and a forecast of
the work to he undertaken during the
year interspersed and accompanied by
wit and humor, to which the reminis-
10 small measure, and which was ann
plif1ed and accumulated by the singing
of the quartet. There was not a dull
moment during the evening. and a bet
ter program could scarcely nave been
devised for q g~et-together meeting at
the beginning Of the season.
After such al suspicious beginning
the work of the club should be UNDER
taken with increased zest during the
winter. There is plenty of work to he
done. and the machinery is there to do
it. There arc committees to which has
been referred various subjects Of great
Importance to tho well-beinE of the
city Of Grand Forks and surrounding
territory. This work can be promoted
only by diligent work. 1t is to be hop
ed that this work will he performed
faithfully and energetically, for on its
performance rests the prosperity Of
the city.
1t is the plan of the house commit
tee, which has these dinners in charge
to make them as attractive as possible,
and to that m features will be intro
duced whenever possible which will
make the meetings 10Th pleasant and
profitable. Not tho least Of the i'm
portant features of these gatherings is
that they bring together in an infor-
NAL manner, n on the basis Of So
ciability, many of our business people
who seldom meet at other times.

AS she finished Letha was flying
home to begin preparations. And
presently Mrs. Bronson followed. She
watched Letha's swift. skilful move

confessed that she had been married

something. But almost in a minute
he was back with Mr.. Bronson and a
large. pompous man. whose only point
of resemblance to his sister was a

THE CENTRAL BANK IDEA.

MIR. Vander1ip's central bank plan
is admirable. IL probably i%lnpractic-
able. according to the Minneapolis
Journal. 1t follows the European
model closely. The stock of the Cen
trail bank is to be privately owned,
hut it Is to be controlled wholly by
the government and it's branches are
to cover the country. This is the con-
tinental system and the British APP
proaches it practically. Experience
seems to favor it. though a Dutch ban.
ker Of authority condemns it in a
recent newspaper interview. But then
Amsterdam vas a big center of private
banking before government banks
were invented.
The central hank idea never has
outlived the unpopularity Of the old
United States bank. Every banking
pian! since has avoided it, with some
sacrifice of simplicity and efficiency.
ihe democratic notion has been car
ried into our banking. with only the
federation compromise to make il
work. Voluntary Capitalization has
been evolved in the National bank ,sys-
tem' with no government supervision
but that Of the comptroller's ONCE.
Even the unpopular, Aldrich plan pro-
posed a federation of regional clearing
houses under central supervision
The fatal objection to that was
banking control. If the vanderlip sur
render to complete government con-
troll can reconcile the administration
n public opinion to a central bank

be worth considering. But it starts un-
der a load Of popular prejudice. The
