AN AUTHORS LIFE.
Ruth Helen Davis's Career In New
York.

Ruth Helen Davis. who made the
powerful play THE Guilty Man from
Francois Coppee's novel. has written
for THE Sun this interesting account
Of her life:
Ruth Helen Davis. author Of "The
Guilty Man," now being produced at
the Astor Theatre, was born and edu-
Gated in New York city. She still re-
sides in the home In which she was
born. at II East Seventy ninth street.
She attributes much Of the credit for
the success which has come to her SO
carly in life to the wisdom and fore
sight OF her mother, who SEN her to
public school. AS "A little child she en-
tered the kindergarten of the Normal
College. went through the elementary
school Of the same institution and was
graduated from Normal College with
the highest rating in her class, with q
II. A. degree and a license to teach.
She looks back upon that experience
with great satisfaction. for In keen
competition with other students she
won her place by dint of her own per-
severance and sticktoitiveness quail
ties which are characteristic Of this
young woman to-day. and are so vital
a contributing factor In the makeup Of
any n who hopes to have q career.
Another valuable experience was 4
year Of teaching in q public school in
the lower East Side. A dramatist must
know how to reach the minds Of his or
her audience. and more than that.
be able to touch their hearts. Miss
Davis feels hat the sympathy and in
sight which enabled her to come in
close personal contact with the little
minds and hearts OF young children
have been OF inestimable value in help
ing her to understand the viewpoints
of adults. who are In reality only chill
dren grown up.
eign travel and social diversion In
which she met many different types
OF people In all stations Of life. Dur
Ing this time she constantly attended
theatres. opera and concerts and kept
up her W study Of music. In which
she Is very proficient. All these fac
tors have contributed to a we'll
rounded personality and an intelligent
grasp OF human values. out of which
only can real vital drama grow.
1t was while she was abroad In tho
summer of 1907 that a young physi-
clan OF her acquaintance sent her a
copy OF Francois Coppce's great novel
lie Coupablc." She read this book
with much interest and when she re-
turned to America placed 1t In her
library with many others. In 1910
she went away from New York with
her mother to spend n year out West
and took with her some of her favor

was the copy OF lie Coupable." She

Where used in connection with nour-

And its content OF calcium gives 1t

Cock Interviews Wilson.

George B. Cook, state superintend. ent of public instruction, who return. ed from national educational meet ing at Washington, had an audience of more than an hour with President Wilson. in company with delegation of friends from Missouri.
 We expected to remain only 10 minutes. MT Cook said, but at the presidents invitation remained more than an hour President Wilson shows no effects of the campaign and he did not refer to it during our audience. One of the men in the party was a well-known Republican leader of St. Louis. When he was introduced to the president, he said to avoid any misunderstanding he wished the presi- dent to know he was a Republican, one of the few left he expressed it.
 That's all right the president replied "Ill overlook that this time.
 tThe occasion for the audience con eerned an important appointment in Missouri. I was surprised at the many questions of the president regarding the character and qualifications of the person being urged He seemed to give 1t as much attention as he would have in appointing Supreme Court justice.
