AS a harum-scarum child of nature,
Hght-hearted and care-free Blanche
Sweet will be seen at F'oX's today and
tomorrow, in the thrilling Lasky Par
amount production of The Storm.

respondent Pauline Start who plays
opposite to Wilfred Lucas, in this

One of my little nieces is not quite
four yet, but she has busy mind
which is forever seeking information.
This she ponders over, sometim es
commenting on it in a way that makes
Us grownups gasp.
The other day she was watching
her father start his autom obile.
''It don't make so much noise after
it gets going" she observed, and
promptly asked the inevitable ques-
tiCn.
because it's always harder to
start anything" explained her father.
after it gets going it gathers mo-
mentum and that makes it easier, and
the engine doesn't have to work so
hard
albert, how do you expect the
child to understand that"
Like Getting Up in the Morning.
Before her father could answer, my
little nice piped up. IT do, too. It's
like when Katie tells NE to get up
In the morning. A. first it's hard to
get out Of bed, but when I get mo-
momentum it's easy"
We all laughed outright. But since
then I've wondered if my small niece
failing to grasp the mechanical prin-
CiDle, didn't enunciate a great human
one.
Have you ever noticed how hard
some things are to start? It may be

"Mo-Momentum"

a disagreeable task, or the solution
of a problem that eludes you. Or
even getting out OF bed in the morn
ing.
As Hard AS You Expected. n
You hang back as long. as you can.
And then, when you can no longer de-
lay the evil moment, you start It's
would be.
Then gradually you get warmed up
to your task. You are going at it
with fervor and a power that you
never expected. Before you know it
you have finished.
Haven't you had the experience?
1t Takes Extra Power to Get Started.
1t requires initiative and sum-
noning of the will power to get
started. You've got to use extra pow
er to get into motion. But once you
are fairly started you gather Mono
m=ntum," and after that you are all
right
The difference between the person
who does things and the person who
doesn't is simply this question of extra
nower at the start.
Success Is primarily the result OF
the ability to start something. or
course you nave to keep at whatever
you start, but there are mighty few
things that you can't bowl along on,
