The first Ford Sterling comedy to be
released through the Universal program
is now in course of production at the
Hollywood CCaD. studios of the Univer-
sal, and from all indications 1t will be
not only a ding-hummer. but likewise a
rip-roarer. The story is built around the
Vanderbilt Cup and the Grand Prix auto
mobile races at Santa Monica, February
36 and g.
Mr.. Sterling's camera man secured
every detail OF the blood-curdling acci-
dent which befell Marquis. driving a Sum-
beam. While rounding Dead Mans Curve,
the Sunbeam car turned turtle and made
five spectacular revolutions.
Frank Goode, who drove an Aperson

Ford Sterling. Goode and Sterling are
rivals for the hand OF the same girl and
Sterling makes every attempt to defeat
his rival. He steals Goodies last tire. He
sprinkles the course so that Goodies ma
chine will skid. However. Goode sails
over the dangerous ground without ac-
cident. while all the other racers fall in
to the trap and are disabled. II is the
fastest, funniest automobile comedy which
has ever been filmed.

Congressman Peter J. Dooling of New York smiled the other evening when reference at a dinner was made to effeminate ways. He said he was reminded of the explanation of Smith.

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
vorIte Diversion Caused Him to Reform.

A wellknown Illustrator. who makes interesting western pictures, once made the acquaintance of a noisy but good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in the appellation of "Hollering Jones"
 In physical appearance this man was typical of his kind. and the artist made several studies of him, both in re- pose and in his favorite diversion of "hollering. Some of the studies were sold by the artist to an eastern maga- zine. They showed Jones in his most violent state.
 A year later the artist again visited the region. He was soon approached by MT. Jones himself. bearing one of the pictures, which he had torn from the magazine in which it's was printed. Pointing to 1t, he asked:
 ''Is that me?"
 Well" replied the artist, evasively, T got the general idea from you, of course, but"
 "Oh. ain't takin' no ofrense," Jones made haste to say. Its all right; only if it's me, say so."
 If you put 1t to me that way" said the artist. T can only reply that 1t is a fairly good portrait of you [
 "The men here on the ranch agree with you. So look like that when I holler, do If"s
 T think you do"
 ''In that case,'' said Hollering Jones. "all I've got to say is that Hollering Jones has hollered his last holler. Hereafter, when celebrates, does so with tin horn. In my own opin- ion, no man has right to look like that-not round white folks, anyhow" Youths Companion.

Where would it look better?" asked the terrapin.
 Let me show you how well 1t would look around my neck." said the tur- key. And the terrapin handed over the fresh, red scalp. With string the turkey tied 1t un. der his chin.
 Now" said the turkey, T will walk a little way and you can tell me how it looks" So he walked little way and the terrapin called out that 1t looked very well.
 ..sNow will fix it different way and you can tell me how it looks And he walked farther away. "Oh, that looks still better!" cried the terrapin. When he heard that, the turkey just kept on walking, and when the terrapin called to him to come back the turkey didn't even turn his head. But the terrapin had his bow and arrows with him, so he took one of the arrows which had been made by the medicine people and shot 1t at the turkey as he was running away. Now the arrow struck the legs of the turkey and broke into a great number of pieces, like cane splints. And that is the reason why the legs of the uur key have such lot of small bones ID them.
 Of course, the turkey, even after he I was crippled by the arrow. was able to run away, from the terrapin, and SC he has kept the beard he stole. I And, of course, when the little boys found out what the turkeys beard really was they knew why they were never allowed to eat any of the neck of the turkeys which the hunters brought in.

HEALTH HINTS FOR THE BOYS
Young Fellows Should Have Eight or Nine Hours of sleep-Always Rest
 on Right Side.
By DIR. GORDON sTAPLEs)

By DR. GORDON STAPLES.)
 First about sleep and early rising. Well, my own best time for work is from seven in the morning, when l turn out and tub, till p. m.
 You should have eight hours sleep, or even nine; but if possible two of these hours should be taken before midnight.
 Young fellows should sleep on a hard mattress and with just as few bedclothes as possible Mothers are greatly to blame in heaping their boys beds with heavy blankets. By so doing they are simply making softies of their boys and preventing them from grow ing up into strong, hardy men.
 Sleeping under a weight of bed clothes not only softens and weakens the muscles, but in the young often times leads to bad dreams, even bring ing on what are universally called nightmares.
 As to food: Eat nothing that is likely to disagree or cause indigestion, flatulence or heartburn. Eat but little meat, as this is exciting. Live for a time on plenty of milk, eggs, fish, pud- ding and porridge, if you can get them.
 Take a large draft of hot, or even cold, water half an hour before break fast.
 Never eat late supper, but do not go to bed hungry
 I have told you the mattress should be hard and the bedclothes light. Well, you must cultivate the habit of lying on your right side, not on the back. Sleeping on the back brings on bad dreams. Go early to bed, and rise at seven.
 Take a hot bath every week and a cold sponge bath every morning. You won't like it at first, but, as Scotch folk say, 'Ye maun thole (bear) a pain for a profit"
 Rub very well down with rough towels. Take short spell of light dumbbells, then ten minutes walk and go in to a hearty breakfast.
 Look upon cold water and fresh air as your dearest friends and real phy- sic1ans.

 Long time ago, when the hunters brought in wild turkey from the hunt and the little boys stood round to see how big 1t was, or tried to swing it over their shoulders as the hunters did, the old men would come into the group and ask the boys if they knew how the turkey got his beard.
 Now, what the old men called the beard of the turkey was the long, red strip of flesh which hangs under it's head; and because of it the boys knew that they were not allowed to eat any meat from the turkeys neck. So the boys would ask how the turkey got his beard, and the old men would tell this story:
 It was after the terrapin had won his race from the rabbit that the tur- key met the terrapin on the trail. And he stopped to ask the terrapin how it was that he could beat the rabbit. But the terrapin would not tell about the trick he had played on the boastful rabbit; and he pretended that he could really run very fast.
 We'll" said the turkey, you may be able to outrun the rabbit, but think I could beat you"
 "Ho! ho!" said the terrapin, and he wouldn't talk about the race any more. So the turkey stood on one leg for a while and looked around, and then he stood on the other leg and looked around. Then he yawned and said to the terrapin:
 What is that you have, hanging from your belt?"
 That is fresh scalp" said the ter rapin.
 It doesn't look very well there said the turkey.

Happy or Brave.

When you cannot be happy, you can be brave. There are things nobody can especially enjoy, aches, pains, disappointments, unkindnesses, and things of that sort. Nobody expects that you girls can be just as happy over your troubles as you are over your blessings. But that does not ex- cuse you for fretting and whimpering. just as soon as things go wrong. If you cannot be happy, you can be brave.
