Yesterday l received this very un-
happy letter, which was forwarded
from the Pittsburgh Dispatch, and
after reading it called it the great
est of all my disappointments Though
she has asked me not to, feel it
duty to myself that it be published.
Editor Pittsburgh Dispatch:
Dear Sir: l have found lots Of
genuine pleasure in reading Mary
Pickford's articles in your paper and
know lot of other people who en-
Joy them as much. Her simplicity
and modest way of portraying her
experiences and theatrical life and the
pure innocence shown by her is re-
freshing, and no doubt there will be
many good results from these whole
some articles. l enjoyed them be-
cause | was under the impression they
came direct from her pen, but last
night my confidence in this respect
took great fall, and most of the in
terest and pleasure l before had left
when l heard lady of the highest
repute and whose word is unimpeach-
able say that Miss Pickford told her
at a dinner party in New York, not
two weeks ago, tina: she never even
saw the articles, and made all kinds
OF fun of them. She said she didn't
have time for such things. This was
pretty hard for me to believe and
am not convinced, but l would like
to see this refuted and l think an
article on this subject would go long
way to restore confidence
81 am merely calling your attention
to the discredit cast upon the authen-
ITCHY of the articles. You know the
world is full Of pests who claim to
be intimate with most all celebrities
and call them by their first name and
thereby spread a lot of unfounded
stories, and in most cases to the dis
credit of the entirely innocent VIC
tim.
81 trust shall see something writ
ten on this. Yours truly,
The Facts in the Case.
Dear friends, you to whom l talk
every day, l think the pencil would
falter and / should have to lay it
aside if l believed there were such
doubts in many minds. For it is un-
true, every line of it. l write these

Furthermore" continued Mr.. Perkins,
Il believe that our spineless policy in
Mexico has been the direct cause of all
our foreign embroilments. The European
governments saw how we took insults
and outrages in Mexico without demand
ing satisfaction or making any reprisal
and it made them bold and gave them
heart to do anything they pleased. They
felt safe in carrying on their operations
even at the expense of American lives,
for they felt sure after the Mexican
precedent that We would do nothing
about it,
Better Late Than Never.
What do you think should be done
about Mexico?" asked. "Oh, the answer
is obvious We should stop the loss of
American life, and property without any
further delay. We should have done that
years ago, when the trouble began, but
it is not too late now. The idea of
handling the Mexican situation just as
we did Cuba has been advanced by
people. There Is no new suggestion in
that, but l see no reason why 1t could
not be done"
Mr.. Perkins knows great deaf
about finance. At least he should. He
has had the opportunity to learn. What
II had really called to ask him was
whether or not he saw any way where
by Carranza could straighten out MeXf-
cos deplorable financial condition with
any hope of success and of bringing
prosperity to the country.
NO" replied Mr.. Perkins to my
question, II don't know enough about

Trick Worked In
Realms of Talcum
Powder and Eggs

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. S.-There are
tricks in every trade, but something
new under the sun was discovered in
ore of the wholesale commission
houses in Atlanta. On opening far
mer's shipment of thirty dozen eggs,
an odor of talcum powder was notice
able, something unusual for the whole
sale district. Employees investigating
found that each layer of eggs had
ben carefully sprinkled with the
powder.
There was reason. When the DOW.
der was cleaned from the boxes an
aroma not altogether so pleasant arose.
1t was discovered that the hen fruit
was badly over-ripe, and the farmer.
possessing more than ordinary clever
ness-or audacity-had used talcum
powder in an effort to conceal the
fact from the merchants.

ture, "In the Shadow of The Cross"
After spending years studying his
art in the Hold Land and the great
galleries of Europe, Henry Hammond
ALL returned to his home in Spring
field, Mass, to paint the most talked-of
picture in America. "In the Shadow
of the Cross" has both awed and in
sEired hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie wherever it has been shown. This
picture was at the Georgia State fair
two or three times, and is also signed
up again this year for the State Fair.
Secretary Lyman was, indeed, fortu-
nate in securing it for our fair, as it is
seldom brought to any but state fairs.
w. L. Thomas, anager of the pic
ture, is a friend of Secretary Hyman
and after a conference in Atlanta, and
after Mr.. Thomas was told of the i'm
mense pulling power of this fair, he
was persuaded to bring this $25O,OOO
picture to Americas.
The picture is remarkable and GER
tainly well worth visit In the light
it depicts singularly masculine but
reposeful Christ, seemingly walking
from his beholder, and carrying his
cross.
Entering the hall the picture is seen,
simply framed and presenting no ex-
traordinary appearance, save that it
il is not finished, and the paint has
faxed away in a place or two for
analysis. AS picture of the Christ.
it is good, although the hair is not
fair, as is usual in such picture. This
is explained by the lecturer, who says
that it was not finished after the dis
covery of the luminous qualities of the
paint, and the cross.
No cross is visible until the light is
turned off, when it becomes plainly
visible across the shoulder of the
Christ, who is shown dark against the
luminous background. The glow H.
such that time can be seen by a watch
held near the canvas Turned away on
the revolving frame the room becomes
as dark as ever. This picture is own
ed by Wilbur Wright, the noted aviator
OF Dayton, Ohio, ana IS kept Insured
on its travels to the full extent of its
value. The picture will not be seen at
any fair south of Macon, but the Third
Agricultural District fair, Americas.

Rifle Fire Like Machine Guns

r. J. Splitstone in Leslie's
 Some of our British friends have been good enough to say that the first Canadian division saved the whole all lied line around Ypres when the AL gerians broke under the first gas at tack" said Sir Sam Hughes At any rate they held 10 times their number of Germans for three days. How did they do it? They did it with rifle fire. When they went to Valcartier 1 put them on the rifle range. It was all rapid-fire work. While one man shot two comrades were in the tar get pit scoring. Every man took his turn at the butts. They learned not only to shoot but to hear the thud of the bullets without flinching. They were kept at rifle practice unceas- ingly until they were the best shots in any army in the world. I under stand that the average percentage In all European armies would be some where between IS and 20. The poorest battalion in the first division had an average of 51 and two battalions aver aged above 70. We had men in that outfit who could fire 5 rounds in a minute The minimum to qualify is IS.
