Since this is the first talk" of my

The thing | would emphasize above
all others is that motion picture act

sion--from the artistic as well as the
financial standpoint-and,a as all worth
while commodities, can be achieved
only through hard work, patience and
sacrifice. e. af

not always so much as plainly blazed
trail. Real ability Plus lot of grit
are the only things that may eventu-
ally place girl at the summit.
My talks" are not intended to be
sure recipes to an easy success. OBJ
servation has convinced me that there
is no such thing in the motion picture
profession. | shall try, however, to
point out some of the difficulties that
the "screen-struek girl is apt to en-
counter, hoping thereby to help her
avoid them, or, if not altogether avoid,
at least recognize them when met and
therefore be less prone to lose cour-

the cracking of wagon wheels out in

There at the front gate was a big

mules. and perched on the seat was
Polly's beanrng Yankee man. In a
trice he leaped down and handed out
three big boxes. Polly did not give
him second glance, but raised the
lids at once. Then she clapped her
hands with delight, for there in the

ten candles stuck in its sides; in the

To look ones best and feel ones

morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-

is absorbed into the blood. Just as
coal, when it burns, leaves behind a

in the alimentary organs certain

had blighted her life. The much-la-

rimonial blessedness when he was
alive. An allwise Providence doubt
less had sent him for the purifying
and Christening of his unfortunate
wife's spirit. But the extraordinary
point in the whole affair was that the
lady did not thank that same all-wise
Providence when it iudiciously saw
fit to remove the subject and source
of her trials. No inneed! Instead of
briskening up and viewing life from
the optimistic point of view. the relict

The curious thing about the immor-
tai Mrs. Gummidge, however, was that
she, in common with many, many 9TH
er pessimists, could really rise to the
occasion and be a sort of ministering
angel when she so chose! When life
ran along in easy and pleasant chan
nels, she carried with her one continu-
GUS crouch But when real sorrow
came to visit the home, and one would
imagine that her melancholy disposi-
tion would be utterly crushed by the
same, the lady revived in the most
remarkable manner and proved the
life and soul of the whole household
Many women today have the same
odd point of view, the same strange
mental attitude When things go right
and nothing goes wrong, they invent
imaginary troubles and imaginary
grievances. They persuade them
selves into the belief that life really
is dealing rather hardly with them
But when real sorrow comes knocking

An instance OF tnis very case comes
to my memory at the moment. A fam

everything in the world to make them
happy. But it was only "once upon a
time"-and that time now lies in the
dim and distant past. For it is now a
long while since they lost all their

country house, their yacht and auto
mobiles and all the paraphernalia
which wealth brings.

Charleston. w. Va.-~One of the
most startling reports on school chill
dren is that recently made by COM
mittee of doctors, who found that 76
per cent of the school children of Paw

sically defective In all 979 children
were examined by dentist, an eye,
ear, nose and throat specialist and a
practicing physician. The report
shows that "A per cent were affected
with adenoids, while thirty-six were
afflicted with defective vision. Seven
ty-four per cent of the children needed
dental treatment, and 81 per cent
needed tooth brushes. State Super
intendent Shawkey, who received the
report, said: Until recently we have
been accustomed to believe that c0un-
try children are healthier than city
children. A recent health survey of
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Idaho and Virginia has dis
closed the fact that of the more com
mon diseases there are froa. three to
four times as many cases proportion

FROM THE EDUCATORS
NOTEBOOK.

Washington-The same old question
of keeping the schools out of politics
is just now prominently to the front
in Washington. Under the present
system, the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia appoints the
Board of Education, which appoints
the administrative officers and teach
ers. A bill is now under consideration
in Congress to abandon this plan and
centralize this power of appointment
in the Board of Commissioners for the
district. 1t has been suggested as
compromise that President Wilson
make the appointments, but it is be-
lieved the President is ,ayersc to TAX
