eroped In the Dark

An investigation of the beginnings
OF big business men has been conduct.
ed for the American Magazine by
Hugh S. Fullerton.
An astonishing feature Of this in
vestigation," he says. is that so few
OF these men who have attained large
successes remember the turning point
in their lives until it is recalled 10

when the idea was explained. everv
one OF them could put his finger upon

point and that from that point on thew

They were cropping blindly and

almost as an inspiration. Yet each

oPEN-AIR KISS IS SAFEST
Sunlight, Too, Checks Transfer OF
Germs. Assertion Made by
Eastern Experts.

A kiss in the open air is fraught
with less danger and fully as much
pleasure as a kiss indoors, asserts the
Boston Post.
These grippe germs that have been
laying siege to Boston and other i'm
portant American cities are unable TO
make any flank attacks when a kiss
is bestowed in the open air. but when
the labial salutation is given in a
closed room, the microbes are likely
TO make a mass attack and get at
least one victim and possibly two. All
this according to more or less wise
Harvard students.
BY the same token. kissing in sun.
light is better than kissing in moon
light, for the sun has a knack of dis
persinF grippe germs that the moon has
thus far failed to acquire. Therefore,
the most healthful kiss OF all is the
one that is given in the open air
during the daytime. although it isn't
being done very much this season.
But IL 1t has TO be done at night, it
is better for a swain TO snatch a kiss
on the veranda than in the parlor.
The cheek has the highest rating
among the areas within which a kiss
may be properly bestowed. The fore
head is second best and the lips take
third money. Germs lurk in the least
number on the cheek.
kissing should not be done while
the kissee is wearing a veil. Science
has released the information that
germs cling to the silken texture of a
veil and they are likely to be readily
transferred. Besides, a young woman
is liable to strain her voice If she
talks while wearing a veil.
The difference between a regular
kiss ana a soul kiss is two minutes
and upwards. the same Harvard au
thorities assert.

PAID ANNA PAYLOWA MORE
TNAN 1 DOLLAR A SECOND.
For Every Tick OF tie Watch, She Re-
eeiyed Sill. Which Amounted
to $4,000 in Cash.

When Billie Burke signed her con-
tract to appear in motion pictures, she
was engaged and paid a definite sum
per week while the pictures we're being
made; Mary Pickford draws down the
princeFy sum of $4,000 per week;
Blanche Ring was paid a certain
amount for one picture; Anna Held
will receive $4,000 for a number of
LECTURES; Geraldine Farrar, according
to her press agent, received two dol
lars pei minute for her appearance in
Carmen but when Anna Pavlowa
signed a contract with the Universal
Film Manufacturing Company it was
little realized that she was paid not
only the highest price ever paid a per-
son to appear in motion pictures be-
lore, but established a record that
would stand for a long time to come.
When Anna PaVlOWa was signed by
the Universal for 1.-The Dumb Girl of
Fortici" she demanded, and received,
$4,000 in cash, paid her before the
completion of the picture, and also re-
tanned a half interest in the pictures.
Now that all other concerns have
press-agented the fact that their stars

Universal comes out with real fact and
figures so plain that even a grammar
school child can figure it out for her
self.
Favlowa would not allow the Public
ity Department to hint even, that she
was receiving so much per day, hour
or minute, as that had become the
popular pastime OF press agents with
little else to do. But when it was
pointed to her that the price she re-
ceived a second would show the i'm
mense value of her services she con-
scented.
There is probably not another star
III the world who is as alert for money
making possibilities as the great Pavlo~
wa. She has a manager who attends
to all minor details of her business,
but when it is a question of dollars
and cents she attends to that herself.
With the $4,000 which she received
from the Universal she purchased a
half interest in the Boston Opera Com
pany.
At the time she signed for her ap-
~pearance in 'The Dumb Girl of Porti-
CT" Pavlowa was playing at the Mid
way Gardens in Chicago, and it was
necessary for the Universal Manufac-
turing Company, to lease Sans SOuci
Park and there build a studio for the
production Of this picture which cost
the company over $4,000 and it was SO

we're sent from the city today for that
purpose.
Six known deaths. a property loss
estimated at 100000 or more; de-
struction of 60 homes; four hundred
people homeless; twenty-five manufac-
ing and industrial plants partially de-
stroyed. and the complete paralysis of
railroad traffic in and out of the city,
are the net results in Asheville and

When other high class stars have iR-

Ave weeks in making 1.-THE Dumb Girl
P0rtio.2 According the she Off
eia4 tia1s sheets which her timekeeper
kept, she worked from three to five
hours a day. When summed UP, her
time averaged five weeks, five hours
EeE day. AS she received $4,000 his
amounted to $4,000 per week or $4,000
per day, $500 per hour on s66.66 pA
minute, which made PaV4oWa's salary
Sill per second. She can now claim
without fear OF contradiction, that she

her appearance in motion pictures
than the average high-class star re-
ceived per hour.

A TRIBUTE


A little over forty-five years ago
a young bride came to our shores
who quickly won the love and esteem
of all who came to know her.
Hers was golden heart" indeed,
overlooking with love to her devoted
husband and adoring children.
Through IS years of welded life she
proved herself a true helpmeet to her
husband, and the wise, loving mother
of her children teaching them by pre-
eept and example to walk in the paths
of righteousness, that they would
grow up to be true Christian men
and women. The love of Christ dwelt
in her, and as His love embraces all,
so her love went out to all, especially
to those in need and distress. Having
herself endured pain and suffering,
and tasted the bitterness of death
through the loss of two grown sons,
she was ever ready to help and re-
lieve those that suffered, personally
ministerfng unto many of them, greet
ing them with bright smile or words
of cheer and hope, mourning with
them that mourned, and bringing
words of tender lover, sympathy, di-
vine comfort and consolation, for
God had given her an understanding
heart to speak q word in due sea-
son.
A devout Christian, whose sincere
piety, answering devotion and un-
selfish service IN the church inspired
many, and endeared her to all her fell
low members. Next to her home her
church was to her the dearest place
on earth. Yes, "she loved the habi-
tation of Gods house and the place
where His honor dwelleth." Her
Christian spirit showed itself also in
her charities which were many and
