Today.

Today is your day and mine; the
only day we have; the day In which we
plr, our pnrt. What our part may
signify in the great whole we may not
understand; but We are here to play
1t, and now is our time. This we know !:
It is part Of action, not Of whining.
1t is part of love, not cynicism. 1t Is
for us to express love in terms of hui
man hclpfulness. This we know, for
we have learned from sad experience
that any other course of life leads to-
ward decay and waste.-David Starr

Nobility Of Labor.

1t is the mission of the United States
to ennoble toll and honor the toiler.
In other lands TO labor has been con-
sldered the LOT of serfs and peasants;
to gather the fruits and consume them
In luxury and war, the business of the
great. Since the medieval times Eu.
ropean society has been organized on
the basis of nobility and n people.
/. Thus has been set on human
industry and stigma Of perpetual dis.
grace. Something Of this has been
transmitted to the new civilization In
the West-a certain disposition to re-
new the old order of lord and laborcr.
Let the odious distinction perish; the
true lord is the laborer and the true
laborer the lord.-John Clark Rldpnth.

 THE DIRECTORS
 As for the directors other than David Wark Griffith, Mack Sennett and Thomas H. Ince who average about $100,O00 a year, rone of the rest of the tribe are plutocrats. The salaries of directors range everywhere from $60 a week to $750 amongst the top-notchers.

 view of Reviews for February.
 One thing which must disquiet the British is the insecurity of their tenure on Egypt itself. English rule has never been popular in the valley of the Nile, and a few years ago Egyptian unrest became so violent that the liberal gov ernment of Great Britain was forced to abandon it's policy of conciliation and resort to frank repression. Lord Kitch- eper was accordingly made proconsul, and till the outbreak of the present war lie governed Egypt with rod of iron. Egypt ceased to figure in the press head lines, but England was no more be- loved than before Discomfort was driven unoerground-and became thereby the more dangerous Since the war Egypt has been flooded with British troops and put under the sternest sort of martial law Nevertheless, ugly symptoms have showed here and there, and a Turkish victory on the Suez canal would prob

How can the producers pay such sal l aries?
 Ans IS an easy question to answer when It IS estimated by the motion picture statlstlcians that 2,9OO 100000 persons paid aoinisslon Tn the screen theatres of the l united States alone in 1915 At an aver age admission of cents and in the ma Jorlty of cases it is more than this. mean Sl4oooV,ooo was paid by the people of this l country Just to see the movies What other business has such an income? | But reverting to the salary question. not all the payers are getting big money. me producers are wise men. They study | human nature. They realize that A young good looking fellow will work his head | off just to get in the pictures. and that a pretty bud of a girl will about do the same thing. It is in fact practically only the well known stage stars that command the big money. The workers in the ranks are underpaid in the movies" as in other professions.
 OTHER HIGH SALARIES Fanny Ward, we'll known comedienne recelved Sl20O week for her first picture with the Lasky company. However Miss Ward realizing that she is passe on the stage or that the stage is passe, has signed up for a long contract at about sa0 week.
