lGHT hours of sleep every night
h can hardly be expected to make
the homely become beautiful,
Al but this amount of sleep each
day will go a long way to retain
ones good looks. Lenore Ulrich, the
Morosco screen star, is firm believer
in the eight hour day law as far as
sleep is concerned and makes 1t a
stringent rule which she follows out
with utter disregard to invitations for
lobster parties on Broadway. Thomas
Edison might have the right idea in
his belief that four hours sleep IS
enough for any man-but then men are
not so particular about their personal
beauty as the fairer sex. With her
twin dolls tucked beneath each arm
and an interesting book in her hand,
Miss Ulrich reads to her hearts con-
tent--or rather until the little dream
man comes around and watts his magic
spell over the pretty favorite of the
screen. Is it a wonder that she is con-
sidered one of the most beautiful girls
in screenland?

Never, even in that typically Amer
lean game of poker has another bluff
been carried off so successfully as
has the Monroe doctrine.
In assuming the obligation of pre-
venting foreign interference in Amer
lea, we assumed the obligation of pro-
tecting foreign interest in America.
In Mexico we signally failed to dis
charge the latter obligation, and like
ly we would now be involved in serious
entanglements with some of the Eu-
opean nations on that account had the
great war not broken out before their
patience was exhausted by our policy
of watchful waiting.
At the close Of the war there will
be a day of reckoning and we shall
be called upon to back up the Monroe
doctrine by seeing that reparation is
made for the violation of the rights of
foreigners in Mexico, or to admit that
we are not able to cope with the sit
uation and that thereafter the Monroe
Doctrine is thing of the past.
We have our choice of arming our
selves for the enforcement of the
Monroe Doctrine or of abandoning it.
Just now we would make sorry pic
ture at either chastising Mexico or
at preventing some one else from do
ing it.
