GEOGRAPHY! READ LIFE STORY
OF THOSE L|MPID $4,000 EYES
BY MILTON BRONNER.

BY MILTON BRONNER.
BIOGRAPHY is the story of a
human beings life.
TYPOGRAPHY is the
story of the life and adven-
lures of Clara KimbalI
Young, one of the highest
priced and most beautiful
movie stars in filmdom, be-
cause any account of her be-
gins and ends with her daz-
Zling eyes.
They made her a favorite when
she was four. They got her a
job as a stock actress when she
badly wanted one. And they shot
her up in the ranks of the film
stars from $25 per week actress
to one who draws down consid-
erably in excess of $500 per week
regularly now. HENCE THE
WORD "EYEOGRAPHY."
Miss Young, who is the daugh-
ter of Edward M. Kimball and
Pauline Madden, both actors,
was born In Chicago and spent
part of her early life in Gold
field, Nevada, when that Nat
Goodwinized town enjoyed a
brief gold boom.
There. at the age of five,
she made her debut in
"Peck's Bad Boy" and SO
tickled was the rough audi
ence of miners with her pref
ty face and her big brown
eyes, that they insisted upon
a song.
Little Clara, nothing loath, re-
sponded, and for the rest of the
evening she was the star of the
show.
When she finished school she
was living in Seattle. The man.
ager of Gabriel Frawley's stock
company took one look at Clara's
eyes and said, You are engaged"
Then she came on to New York
in 1911 looking for position.
Some one, struck by her
beauty, told her she should

the advice and dropped q

| It was not long before people
began to rave about her good
looks. AND EVERY RAVE
ADDED DOLLARS TO HER PAY
CHECK.
| She's about medium height and
girlishly slender. Her wavy hair
is deep dark brown and her eyes,
unusually large and most SYM

Even a star cannot carry 2

This idea of having our own

a rate which TO a workingman or
working girl is too high, should
stand in their way. Every Ia
conan ought to see the mountain;
ought to become a loyal booster
for it,"
Atherton's newly planned trip
would provide for auto to the
Nisqually glacier, and short
hike from there over a good trail

NEW HUMAN BIRD
COMES TO EXPO

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Aug.
9.-Signor (not Senor) Silvio
Pettirossi, who is in San Fran
cisco to astound the gaping ex-
position crowds with aeroplana
stunts, can't speak English. He
doesn't need to. Signora Petit
rossi-pretty, oh, very pretty and
ever so young-speaks English
for her daring husband.
Signor Pettirossi comes from
Ascuncion, Paraguay. He was
educated in the wonderful tech
meal schools of Italy. Before
the outbreak of the European
war he finished a course in aero
planning in the school of Deper-
stussin, the famous builder OF
the monoplane of that name,
near Paris.
Signora Pettirossi was born in
Urugary, and educated in France.
They have been married six
months.
Pettirossi's monoplane, one OF
the lightest machines of its type
on this hemisphere, is being set
up by his devoted Italian mechan-
ic-who refuses to sleep in a
hotel since that takes him too far
from his beloved charge. Expo
sition authorities had to provide
a bed for him beside the mono
plano.
Some of Aviator Pettirossi's
daring stunts are: :"dead-leaf
drift" top DROP" consisting OF
a spinning decent upon verti-
cal line that puts the spiral dip
out of business; the vertical
turn" the wing loop-the-loop,"
made from side to side which
puts the head-on variety OF loop
the-loop on the shelf as thriller.

Quaint Old Time Account of Peru's
Petroleum Fields.

Probably the first printed reference
to the petroleum industry on the Pa
cific coast was made in 1869, when DE
Las Drojas De Las Indias" appeared.
1t was translated in 1896 by John
Frampton, in London, who gave the
book the title. "Joyfullnewes Out of
the New-Found World" His transla-
ton of that portion of the work relat-
ing to petroleum follows:

TIE ROPES OF MAUI.
An Ancient Legend of the Sun From
the South Seas.

An Ancient Legend of the Sun From
the South Seas.
One of the most picturesque legends
connected with the solar beams is that
told in the islands of the south Pacific,
where sunbeams are known as the
ropes of Maui" 1t is related that in
former times the sun god la was not
SO regular in his habits as he is today
In fact, he caused the south sea island
ers much annoyance by setting in the
morning or at noon or at other inop-
perfume tines, just when his light was
needed for the daily tasks of mankind
The great hero Maui undertook to
cure him of these erratic habits, and
the first step was to make the sun god
prisoner This was accomplished by
laying a series of six snares made OF
strong cocoanut fiber along the suns
path in the sky When the deity next
rost from Avaiki. or the land Of ghosts,
the first moose encirced him. but slip
ped down and only caught his feet the
second slipped, TOO, but caught the sun
gods knees; the third caught around
his hips.
Still Ra pressed on, scarcely ham
pered by these contrivances. The
fourth moose tightened around his
waist, the fifth under his arms, and
finally the sixth and last caught him
around the neck ana almost strangled
him. Then the sun god confessed him
self vanquished and in fear Of his life
promised Maui that he would in future
adjust his daily journeys more IN ac-
cordance with the comfort and conven
fence of mortal mon
Ra was then allowed to proceed on
his way, but Maui prudently declined
to take off the ropes, which may still
be seen hanging from the sun mt dawn
and when he descends into the ocean
at night Hence the islanders say, when
they behold the beams radiating from
the sun, '"rena te laura Maui See

CURIOUS FISHING CUSTOMS.
The Feast That Follows the Capture of
Turtle In Madacascar

Turtle In Madagascar.
Some of the turtles of Madagascar
are oval in form and very fat and
plump; others are much thinner and
fat In order to catch them the ma.
tives so out to sea in the early morn
ing when the ocean is very smooth and
the turtles come TO the surface to en-
joy their morning nap. They use
kind Of harpoon about twelve feet long,
shod with a piece of barhed iron and
attached to strong rope couple of
hundred yards in length. The fishers
approach the sleeping animal with
great care, says james Sibree in "A
Naturalist In Madagascar" for when
1t is struck it dives down Immediately.
and the fisherman, if he refuses to let
go the rope, dives with it, 50 he tries
to make the first blow a mortal one.
As soon as the turtle is caught the
captors make for the shore, and all the
people gather to share in the feast
No one is allowed to bring anything
from house to the spot. The animal
must be wrenched open and cut in
pieces with the knives that belong to
the canoe. 1t must be cooked in sea

To Be Well Dressed Means to Be At
tired In Good Taste.
Dress is Il subject frequently in the
minds of many Some think too much
about it ana some not enough. No one,
however brilliant in ability, even n
genius" can afford TO be careless in
this matter He is best dressed, says
Trollope. whose dress no one OBJ
serves. Little touches of individuality
in ones clothing are well. but it is not
in the best taste to adopt any peculiar
striking style chat viii make people in
the street turn their heads for further
observation
One should beware of extremes in
fashion Means and occupation should
be considered in choosing what to wear
Even the poorest garments if clean, in
order and properly worn give Il good
impression OF the wearcr Women
should give sufficient attention to dress
to decide what is suitable for the time
and occasion and that il is rightly ad
iusted and no further attention.
To be Well dressed is a passport
opening doors otherwise closed.
TO be lavishly dressed betokens q
shallow mind 1t would appear that one
thought his clothes the better part Of
him Even chiIdren's dress should be
thought Of with care. Thcir clothing
should not prevent free action in their

The natives of the northwest coast
give a curious account Of fish that
they call the handy, which is about as
long as !; mans arm and as big around
as a mans thigh. Its dorsal fin, they
say, is like a brush. and it is smeared
with sticky liquid not unlike glue
When it catches another fish it holds
it with this sticky brush, and the cap
tive cannot get away. The people
make use of this popularity in their
own fishing When they have caught
handy they contine it in a light cage
which they fasten in the sea. They
feed the handy daily with cooked rice
or small fish, and when they want to
use it they tie long cord around its
tail and follow in a canoe When it
faStens on a fish they pull it in and
seize the spoil for themselves

ECCENTRIC NORTH RIVER.
Curious Franks of a Tortuous New
England Stream.

England Stream.
Westerners tell of the queer behavior
and changes of course indulged in by
the Missouri river, and Texans aver
that for pure cussedness and general
fckleness no stream Of water can ap
proach the Rio Grande. There is, how
ever, a stream in New England where
of the rest Of the country hears little
and which should III justice be accord
ed place in the list of queer behaving
bodies Of water
This is the North river in Massachu
setts. 1t has its source i'm a pond near
Hanson, whence it proceeds in tortu-
Gus course to the sea at Sctuate Now.
the distance by air line from Hanson to
Scituate is only ten miles. but by the
North river it is forty
New Englanders aver that when the
tide is coming in the North river runs
upstream, and not only that, but the
upper part of it, which is fresh water,
also runs up Thus this queer stream
presents the strange spectacle Of a
fresh water river proceeding uphill
The North rivers claim to eccentric.
ity is not, however, limited to this fact.
1t is so crooked that it doubles on itself
At one spot near Hanover this river, by
accomplishing three loops, moves to-
ward the sea for a distance of only
fifty feet and wanders about for a dis
tance of about fifteen miles in doing it.
In November, 1898. the North river
got very cantankerous 1t moved its
mouth three miles to the northward,
thus making a present to the town of
Marshfield of a deep harbor. In so do
ing it killed three men and converted
many thousand acres of good meadow
land into "A salt marsh.
Historically the North river is of note
as being the scene of the last Indian
raid on the coast settlements.-Phila
