WHAT WOULD YOU DO HAD YOU
 BEEN IN MARY'S POSITION?

If you were q beautiful young girl whose sister had fallen the victim of d wealthy young chap and that same fellow were to make love to you-and if the sister followed him to your home with the intention of shooting him, would you scream and run away or would you take command of the situation? Mary Pickford took the revolver out of the girls hand. held the man at bay with it and sent for a minister. When the reverend gentle man arrived, she concealed herself be- hind a curtain and held the gun to the mans back while he went through the wedding ceremony.
 IL all happened in "The Eternal Grind" Mary Pickford's latest big feature in which she is being starred by the Famous Players Film company on the Paramount Program. It is the stellar attraction at the Arizona We'd rcsday and Thursday
 Tn this powerful story. Mary Pick ford plays the role of q factory girl who battles against frightful odds in her struggle to preserve intact the lit tie home of which the death of her
 
 has two sisters, Amy a girl of shallow moral character, and Jane, a confirmed invalid. It is in the effort to save these girls from disgrace a4d death that the power of Mary's character IS developed to its utmost.
 Blessed with a naturally sunny dis position. but with the will to fight for her rights. Mary is one of the strong ! est and most lovable characters that Miss Pickford has ever given the mo- 1 ton picture screen. The saving of her 1 sister Amy's name in the prompt and efficacious manner already described, l is only one of the great crises which Mary faces during this remarkably powerful story. She fights the avar- ice of her employer, she battles for the i life of her stricken sister. guaranteeing her small savings in restoring her to health. Having won the love of big. manly chap. she has to nurse him back To life when the miserlness of his own father causes a terrible accident in the factory which nearly costs the hoy his life

 We will have to stop paying stars 5000 day. That's what makes the cost of pictures.

Exhibitors can't keep up the pace and neither can producers Most pictures are being made not on the income from motion pictures, but on the promotion money which makes mighty hard competition for the fel- lows who are struggling along trying to make more pictures out of the money they have gotten from previous ones"

Most motorists think that during
the summer months they should ride
their tires at low pressure to prevent
blowouts. The decreasing of the pres
sure does not decrease the heating of
the tire, but rather increases it, as the
side walls are subjected to a greater
bending strain and friction between

Due to this excessive fexing the fab

extent that the tire becomes wea..en-

ruins the inner tube.
During the winter season, the mo-
torist does not let the air out of his
tires as he does in the summer, but al
lows his tires to have a greater and
more constant air pressure: hence the
percentage of tires consigned to the
scrap heap is much less in winter than
in summer.
ut has been definitely determined by
