The Mind of Man Who Can't
Keep Away from an Actress

business men are not immune to that
slamor either. They also fall before it.
a man may be a doason in the church
and pillar Of society lie may be as
domestic as the house cat. and apparently
contented with the kind OF a wife and
children that Providence has vouchpafed
him when here comes along some perky
little actress. who gives him glance
out OF the corner Of her eye, and a sune
over her shoulder and. VOLTA. the man IL

the never TO be explained attraction OF
the flame for the moth. and in a world
where justice isn't done os often as Il

the moth generally gets his.
Why IL Il? What IL the secret OF this
subtle fascination? No one can answer.
Probably ~ good an explanation as can
be offered Is that oome Of the glamor
OF the romance that she depicts on the
stage fingers about tho actress like the
faint perfume OF n garment laid away in
lavendar. Perhaps, also, men can never
quite set out OF their eyes, when look

which gives her always 10 them a
radiance that ordinary women do not
possess.
Then, too. the actress IL bound to be
a woman of temperament She Is a crea-
ture Of moods. sharp contrasts, and this
keeps mans interest continually
piqued. Compared TO the domestic woman,
she Ia like highly spiced food TO bread
and butter. Above all she has that

woman. She Is even less interesting and
companionable. for the stage life II the
nnrrowest and most esotlstioal existence

than the rule, TO find an actress who

who can tear her thoughts long enough

RESCUERS ENTER
 OKLAHOMA MINE:

Adamson, Okla. September 5.-Rescuers early tonight forced an entrance through the wall of an adjoining mine into the mine of the Union Coal company here In which 13 miners were imprisoned yes terday when a cave-in blocked the exit, but an accumulation of gas prevented an immediate exploration in search of the entrapped men. Fans have been started and the mine will be penetrated as quickly as it can be sufficiently cleared
 Company officials stated tonight that whether the men are found alive depends on their action at the, time of the acci- dent. If they attempted to escape. in all probability they were crushed to death by the falling debris, but if they remained in the room on the tenth lift in which they were working, 1t is declared suf- ficient air would have been found to sus- tain them until they are rescued.
