SOCIETY FOR UNSUCCESSFUL.
Inquest Circle of the Motion Pic
ture World" Is Formed.

Mrs. Agnes I. Olcott so7 o street
northwest. is engaged in the forma-
tion of an association called the In
quest Circle of the Motion Picture
World" Every one who is the author
of a motion picture drama that has
been turned down by any of the big
film concerns-and they are many-is
eligible. There are no dues or fees Of
any kind. The object of the organiza-
lion is TO provide disappointed authors
the opportunity to meet and condole
with one another, and IL is expected
that the main business of the meetings
will be the reading of the rejected
manuscripts.
Most people. 1T seems. have at some
time thought out what they considered
a good motion picture plot. and the
majority of these have submitted their
IDEAS. the proportion of which that re-
turn to the senders being, naturally.
very large.
Mrs. Olcott's idea is that good ideas
may grow through the reading OF
manuscripts in the circle and the
mutual coincidence over reflections. The
Inquest Circle is a sort of offshoot to
the Inquest Club. formed of successful
big writer's.

Make somebody happy today
Each morning that motto repeat,

at once becomes pleasant and
sweet. No odds what direction
you go. whatever the pathway you
wend. there's somebody weary of
woe. there's somebody sick for a
friend: there's somebody needing
a guide. some pilgrim who's wan
dered astray; oh, don't let your
nelp be denied-make somebody
happy today! There's somebody
tired of the strife, the wearisome
struggle for bread, borne down by
the burden of life, and envying
those who are dead; little en-
enlargement now may drive his
lark visions away, and smooth
3ut a seam from his brow-make
somebody happy today! There's
somebody sick over there, where
sunlight is shut from the room !;
heres somebody deep in despair,
oeholding no light in the gloom
there's somebody needing your
aid, your solace, wherever you
stray; then let not your help be
ielayed-make somebody happy
.odav. Make somebody happy to-
iav, some comfort and sympathy
give. and Christmas shall ne'er go
away. but always and ever shall

CHEER LEADER is WANTED
AT GEORGE WASHINGTON u.
Athletic Association Sadly in Need
of Stately, Sturdy, Stento-
rian Student

"Wanted-A stately, sturdy, stentorian
student"
Such is the call that has been sent out
by the athletic association of the George
Washington University. Up at George
Washington they have a brisk basket
ball team, and in addition goodly stu
dent body to urge their athletes to
victory, but in one thing they are sadly
lacking-they have no cheer leader.
The athletic association realizes this
sorrowful deficiency and has commenced
a search for some one to lead the cheer
ing. 1t has advertised for a student
that is stately, sturdy and stentorian. "
Stately, because he must have enough
personal magnetism and general attrac-
tiveness to hold the attention of the en-
thusia site spectators Sturdy, because
the position requires much physical con-
tortion, much wiggling and swaying and
wild gesticulation. Stentorian, because
his voice must direct those of the other
cheering students.
These are the qualifications decided
upon by the athletic association. If you
know a stately. sturdy, stentorian stu
dent, send him around.
