hard that it looked as II he would
wear it out, and Shuttle sent his
whiskers up and down so fast in
the air that they made quite

table, whispered first in the long
silky ear of Sniffie and next in the
ear of Shuttle. Both bunnies wagged
their heads in approval and shook

A Trip Through Barbarous
Mexico.
(Industnal.)

"HIS FILM does not carry a
story. except the story of life
i in Mexico that is to be found
by observing the way the
people live and work and find their
amusements. The film was made
for the purpose of showing some-
thing OF the real conditions in that
stricken country. 1t contains some
thing OF the war spirit, but it Is
largely for the purpose of showing
Mexico as 1t really is. The pic

Advice to-
Girls

Dear Annie Laurie:
have been going with very dear
boy since the first of the year. We
have known each other much longer
than this. Some of my girl friends
have asked me to give him up; they
say We can never be happy as am
couple of years older than he Is:
Do you think that the difference of
age can make any difference In our
feeling for each other in after years.
as we both care very much for each
! other now? UNHAPPY.
OE;S difference Of age make any
rtnm di1er.ns. enc, about. about marriage nar soe
age and upon the marriage.
Two years isn't enough to make any
difference Mt all. il seems to me-.not II
your husband. or the man who wants to
be your husband. is I person OF any
sense or cultivation.
What sort Of a chap Is this that you
think would make you happy? That s
the important thing.
The inan who falls in loye with a
woman older than himself is apt to be
somewhat immature in character-that s
the type that usually wants to marry
woman who will boss him and tell
him what to do and wnen to do it.
Such marriages are sometimes happy
and sometimes miserable.
You'll have to take your chances Just
as any woman who marries must-and
1 don't see why your chances are not,
In this case as god as the next one.
My Dear Miss Laurie: The other day
a boy whom I knew was coming down
the steps of the High School with a
friend of his whom 1 also knew by
sight. but not to speak to. He, how
ever, knew my name and said to the
boy who was with him: There goes
your girl. X" X replied and said to
me. Hello Y; you're nv sweetheart,
aren't you?" / never noticed him, but
went on about my affairs. Later he
saw me. came up to me and said: "Y.
when can 1 see you to explain my ac-
tons OF the other day? I heard that
y3u we're mad with me. l did not
rrean anything by It: just funning,
that's all Then 1 replied: II don't
And then I walked off. As 1 started,
he said, "Oh. very well" lie has not
spoken to me since. Don't you think
that 1t is my place to let him know
that I think 1t can be fixed up or what
the right thing. but don't know
which will be right.
Yours in faith. "
Dear "Y'': OF course 1t was not very
courteous of your friend to call out to
you as he did. and you were justified
in stalking off with your head in the
air-if II gave you any pleasure
though personally I think 1t would have
been much more sensible to have just
laughed. But, dear child. what more
could the boy do than apologize? Sure
ly it wasn't an unforyivable offense.
but II you refused to accept his apology,
there was nothing for him to do but
accept your decision. 1t is up to you
now. Tell the young man that you are
sorry you We're so ungracious-that You
sillier still. And. little girl don't go
wandering around the world with a
chip on your shoulder, looking for
somebody to knock 1t off. There is
nothing so unnecessary and so useless
as quarreling. II you care at all for a
friend II Is too serious a matter TO
quarrel with him. and, II you don't
care for him. it is too much trouble.

ately breathe the spirit of patriot
ism? The cost of such an entertain
ment would not be great Reels of
films for this purpose could - un-
Sloubtedly be made up from old
film that Is on file in the offices Of
the producing companies throughout
the country. There is hardly a Sec
tion that has not been made the SUBJ
ject for moving picture at some
time or another. And the value Of
the lessons to be learned would be
incalculable.
Mr.. Brylawski, the head OF the
moving pictures committee, as one
of the most progressive moving pic
ture experts in this section of the
country undoubtedly has some such
idea as this in mind. 1t is perfectly
safe to leave the program in his
keeping, as he is thoroughly fa-
miliar with the methods OF obtaining
film and has already begun his work
of preparing his program. 1t is to
be hoped he has the support Of the
central body in providing means with
which TO carry out his plans.

Films Can Now Be Sent

Parcel post as an agent In the handling
Of films is one of the latest innovations
in the motion picture business. Uncle

weighing up to fifty pounds to pass
through parcel post went into effect in
February with the result that film
service companies have since been CIV

The Sex Differences.

The difference between the sexes,
largely due to ages OF training away
from each other IN habits OF body and
mind. persist because OF the fact that
woman perceives, and thinks, more
quickly than man. but thinks for the
minute only, while man, proceeding
more slowly. classities and deduces rules
and principles. The spiritual and moral
side Of the female nature is similar In
characteristics to her thinking processes.
Her nature is to mans. as Tayler
aptly puts It. as a running stream is
to a reservoir.-John Horace Lockwood

chance to recover. Fluff was still
out in the garden. Betty fiounced

over and touch a freshly painted
egg That was the last straw.
Pinkeyes looked at Sniff'e and
then at Shuttle and said Ready?
Both nodded Yes and their noses
went up and down just like machin-
cry.
Now then Whispered Pinkeyes.
They hurried across the room and
before Betty even knew that they
were near. they had tripped her up
and she was lying fat on her face,
Just as helpless as If they had tied
her with ropes.
You see she couldn't get up by
herself, and she couldn't open her
ewes while she was lying down. so
she might as well have been down
in a hole fifty feet deep. That was

This sort was in the mind Of Com
missioner Newman when he appoint

committee in charge of this portion
of the entertainment. Mr.. Newman
is an ardent advocate of the use of
moving pictures in all sorts of edu-

give the committee the utmost en-
couragement in carrying out what

1t Is probable that many people

These people should remember that

CONFERENCE HELD
ON ANTITRUST BILLS
Opposition Develops TO Certain
Features Of the Measures.

Washington, Jan. 26.--In the course
OF conferences held by Democratic
members of the senate interstate
commerce committee and Democratic
members of the house judiciary COM
mittee, the fact haa been emphasized
that the bills agreed upon and made
public are far from being the last
word from the administration leaders
on trust legislation.
The latest conference was held at
the country home Of Senator New
lands, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce. There
was some discussion of the legisla-
ton necessary to control or prohibit
holding companies, and while sugges-
tions were made as to the language
to be used, there were no final con-
clusions.
The trade relations bill has been
questioned as to some of It's features
in the conference, particularly as to
the requirements that seller 81 3
commodity shall sell to all would-be
purchasers on equal terms. The
power of congress to pass such law
has besn questioned.
