MOTHER THE BEST

Maternal Love Required to
Equip One Fully for Emotion
al Work, Declares Star.

New York, March 27-Another &C
tress has enrolled for the propaganda
Babies are the makers of stage
stars"
The recruit is Miss May Irwin, her
self one Of the most successful stars
in the United States since-wel. at
least since she had a healthy infant
son TO call her mother, a chronological
assertion which cLn enable one to ap-
proximate the age Of the son.
Recently Nine. Gadski Of the Metro

motherhood moved a singer 10 a ripper
understanding Of life and so gave her
a broader grasp Of her profession.
Then Miss Ethel Barrymore, the
mother OF two charming youngsters,
echoed Nine. Gadski, and even was
more enthusiastic.
Now comes Miss Irwin. Here are
some Of her own thoughts on the top
ic of motherhood:
Fame as an emotional actress will
never come TO a woman until she has
I been a mother.
! Being a moth helps to make a good
actress, and would like TO add that
being an actress helps to make a good
mother.
All mothers are good mothers. Some
times you will find stray cases where
/ they do things not set down in the
I Book Of Motherhood. but when you do,
believe me. you will find that father
/ is responsible for the slip.
Motherhood not alone develops the
actress for emotional roles. Mother
hood helps the woman for comedy.
And why shouldn't it? A very thin
line indeed divides the portrayal OF
comedy and tragedy.
Every successful actress in the his
tory Of the stage has been a mother
II is quite true that We have some un
married actresses in the front rank OF
stars. When / look at them l think
to myself how much greater they
would be were they married and
mothers.
The interview took place in Miss
Irwin's dressing room in the COhaI
theatre.
What's the idea?" she said, as she
got out the tea things Upon what
topic did you crave my profound
views"
Mothers"

WHY DOES EUROPE HOARD?

In speaking on the subject of con-

there has been so much vague discus

THAT the people in eastern France
and western Germany. and along the
frontiers of western Russia, should
have boarded when they saw so many
signs of military preparation and so
many alarming paragraphs in the
newspapers is really not surprising.
1t is not irrational under such cir
cumstances to be in a state of panic,
and to try to convert ones assets into
cash. for il war had actually broken
out, it is not very likely that all the
banks in Austrian Galicia or in
Prussian and Russian Poland could
have kept their doors open.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The international joint commits
sion of the United States and Canada
for the investigation of water con-
ditions along the Niagara frontier
began a hearing at Buffalo today.
The questions to be decided by the
commission are of more than passing
interest to the cities along the Lake
Michigan Shore line which are wrest-
ling with the problems of sewage and
proper drainage The main question
to be discussed is
I'm what way or manner. whether
by the construction and operation
Of suitable drainage canals or
plants at convenient points or
otherwise, is It possible and ad
visible to remedy or prevent the
pollution of these waters. and by
what means or arrangement can
the proper construction or opera
ton OF remedial or preventive
works. or system or method of
rendering these waters sanitary
and suitable for domestic and 9TH
er uses, be best secured and main
tanned in order to insure the
adequate protection and develop
ment of all interests involved on
both sides of the boundary. and to
fulfill the obligations undertaken
in Article w. of the Waterways
treaty of January II, 1909, between
the United states and Great
Britain, in which it is agreed that
the waters therein defined as
boundary waters and waters flow
ing across the boundary shall not
be polluted on either side to the

The continental hoarder's action is
