Leah Baird Is being featured by the
Universal Manufacturing Company in
Imp productions. Previous to coming to
the Universal she was a yitigraph star
and had brilliant success in a number
of big productions. But nothing she has
ever done in pictures matched her work
in the great Universal productions OF
'Absinthe, done In France. and The
Price of Sacrlege." produced in this
country.
Previous to entering pictures, Miss
Baird was featured for three years with
william A. Brady productions. one Of the
most important OF which was THE Gen
tleman from Mississippi Prior to that
time she was a member Of stock COM
panies with Arthur Byron and Mortimer
Snow. Her theatrical experience began
eight years ago.
Miss Baird Is a high spirited, laughing
girl, full Of the devil" as one might
say. But she finds her efforts are more
profitable in serious, heavy roles. She
Is matured to that extent that she fully
understands the deeper emotions.

actors participate in the many thrilling
scenes.

interested in The Criminal Path" which

the biggest Of the feature films and the

Mexican Currency Fluctuation.

Industrial corporations doing business
in Mexico do not consider the dollars
written out of profits because the decline
of value of Mexican currency has gone
beyond recall. An oil company, for in
stance, which distributes its products
throughout the republic, raises its prices
as money depreciates and lowers them as
the currency swings again toward a nor
NAL basis. The oil men say that when
conditions improve and money approaches
more nearly its face value, the prices re-
ceived for oil recede slowly. With the
circulating medium more valuable and
the quotations for goods still compare
lively high, the oil company makes an
extra profit which offsets, in a part or
wholly. the losses entailed when the value
of money Was low.

Two interested Stock.

Southern Pacific and American Can are

Mexican war news.
Hostilities. it is stated, would depress
the railroad stock, but Can would be
supposed to benefit.

consumption of the available can goods
in stock, and insure the packing indus
try of a larger business the coming sea
son. In very few years do packers can
all fruit and vegetables available for the
purpose. so that an increase in the de-
mand will oblige the can company to
turn cut millions in excess of normal
production.
Can yesterday gained a point, but
Southern Pacific also showed a similar
gain.

Company have been consolidated as the
Grafton Light and Power Company. Both
companies have been controlled by the

poration extensive improvements and ex-

Railroad orders are estimated at about
30 per cent of normal. and until the In

there is no likelihood that the railroads
will buy except for the most urgent
necessities.
There is no apprehension over the de-

HONCE DE LEON was a Spanfard

about $50 years ago, went to war
now and then and gradually accumu-
lated a substantial pull.
In those days this was regarded as a
greater financial success than running

Ponce de Leon could probably have
snatched off a dukedOm before he died
If he had been content to remain arOunO
Madrid. But he was adventurous ana
when Christopher Colombo, a man or
not half his education and influence in
court, came rolling home from some
where west and got a disgusting amount
Of notice for having discovered CONT

to get into the discovering game him
self He, therefore, got busy and with
the help of his friends who all recon-
mended him, ne got the appointment as
governor of New Spain, and sailed for
American in 1902 In 1910 he became
governor Of Porto Rico, and introduced
the halberd, spear and rapier of pro-
gress into the indians with great vigor.
He civilized the entire island so thor
Oughly that it did not recover from the
operation until 1898.
BY the time Ponce de Leon became
governor he was a very great man. But
he was not satisfied. The gentle indians
could not fight the Spaniards, but they
usually got even with them by telling
stories about strange, rich lands to the
modern land agents. They limited to de
Leon that somewhere beyond Cuba
there was a land which had a miraCl--
lOus fountain that conferred eternal
youth on all who bathed in it. This
greatly excited Ponce de Leon. who
knew that when q Spanish cOurtier be
came baldheaded and teethless, he stood
no show at all, and he accordingly
