SWIMMING. on Dry Lnuh

I VEN The New York Herald thinks Mr.
IL Hughes should soft-pedal his abuse OF the
President and let the country into the secret
OF some portion Of that constructive program
for which. he says he stands. The people
have heard nearly enough Of what Mr.. Wilson
has done which his political opponent SAYS
is so bad: now they would like 10 hear some
thing OF what Mr. Hughes will do. or would
have done, which he pronouncos SO good.
OF course. the truth is MIR Hughes is
afraid 10 nnpack his heart. His following.
as now constituted. is made up OF divergent
clements that hate one another az much as
they hate President Wilson Each OF these
clements wants something for itself as
opposed 20 the general interest OF the nation.
and each thinks Mr.. Hughes If elected will
heed its ;; prayer. The candidate cannot
strengthen ,shn political bonds which unite
him to German voters. for example. withou,

For several wears now the War and

Il view 10 studying the Insane as they
affect military and naval organization.
There Is the case OF the enlisted man.

Snch man formerly would end up In
prison after Il series of experiences
which resulted In courtmartial He
often became demcnted and was even
tnally turned over to ST. Elizabeths.
tANow, under the new methods. when an
enlisted man proves his inability TO
comply with military regulations he is
turned over TO Il psychologist. who puts
him through various mental tests TO
determine his proper environments If
il is evident that he is unfit for the
army or navy lie is directed into other
channels of work. which arc more con-
genial and better fitted to his mental
makeup.
The problem Of the insane criminal is
very similar. Usually the man or

reacted, and finally tried to change the
environment to suit themselves. Thus

GERALDINE FAIRFAX
 AT FOX'S THEATER

The popular Fox playhouse will of- fer as the banner attraction of their regular feature bill, on Friday and Saturday, Geraldine Farrar the world renowned moving picture star and prima donna, in her latest film crea- ton, Maria Rosa"
 In Maria Rosa,' a Paramount pie ture, Miss Farrar will have part quite different from the role of Car men, or Rene Dupree in ''Tempta- tion." Tn this Spanish tragedy, taken from the play by Guido Marburg and Wallace Gillpatrick and founded on the story by Angel Guimera, Miss Far Tar appear as a young Spanish peas ant girl, for whose hand two admirers are in eager contest. One of the youths, Ramon, is of a jealous nature and not liked by Maria Rosa. The other, Andres, is her favorite. These roles will be played respectively by Pedro de Cordoba and Wallace Reid.
 Ramon manages to remove the favored Andres by having him falsely accused of crime for which he is sen- fenced to a long prison term. Believ- ing Andres dead, Maria Rosa, after much persuatiOn, finally consents to marry Ramon. On the wedding day Andres returns and the whole plot is revealed to the heart-broken Maria Rosa. The finish of the play is with Ramon's death and the happy uniting of the two real lovers.
 Produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille Maria Rosa," in the opin- ion of those who already have seen it, is decidedly the best of the three productions which Miss Farrar thus far has made for the Lasky Company. Ernest Joy Anita King, Horace B. Carpenter and James Neill are mem- bers of the cast.

A Mothers Decoration

Happier far than thou
 With the laurel on thy brow,
 She that maketh the humhIest
 hearth
 happy for but one on earth.
 A friend of mine has received a decoration. No, not an Iron Cross nor a V. c. A doctor conferred this honor. I call it a decoration, because she feels as if the very heart of her had been decorated, but it was not anything material, just a sentence of commendation.
 Twenty years ago this woman was left widow with two girl children, face not only the problem of ekying out the small income her husband had left her, but also that of guarding the fragile health of these two children. And Now They Are Healthy Women
 Today the girls are healthy young women, happily married and the mothers of strong, well children.
 The old family doctor who watched and helped in the long fight that brought these girls from delicate youth to healthy maturity, called on their mother the other day,
 They talked over old times and he said. "Mrs M., I think you should be very proud, for I don't believe any other woman know could have brought those children up. I never expected to see them live, and only the infinite, unremitting care you gave them could have done it."
 Do you wonder that that mother
