MUSIC OF MOVIES
You Can't Always Tell What
You're Coin to Get.
Sob Stuff Always Calls for
Break From "the Pit"

You enter the Topeka movie show
late. In the vestibule, you hear the
crash of cymbals emanating from the
orchestra pit up front.
"Ha, our hero got crooked with the
bean dish hurled by the Amazon
cook" you murmur. Either that, or
our heroine scores on the villain"
Perhaps it is the slow roll of a death
song.
kind. let's not go in," she implores.
The ''fan" can't be fooled Easier
to substitute for Theda Bara or
angelic Mary or cunning Miss Clark
than to convince him he's hearing
something new in movie music.
It's an established program for GER
tain music to be played in certain
places. The regular fan" doesn't
know why, altho he has often won
dered. He's used to having sob music
appear at the time of the sob stuff
in the picture.
What he isn't acquainted with is the
fact that the movie music direct or
doesn't necessarily have to be a genius
in Interpretation and adaptation. He
must be able to flip the pages neatly
and to change from the key of c to
five flats at an instants notice.
But it's all the same-in every
theatre you enter. with the expected
exceptions here and there. It's so
handy-an in a convenient loose-leaf
folder especially put out for the pic

None says your Majesty" There
is no suggestion that the kind hearted.
hard working woman ever wore the
ermine. Yet this is Natalie, one-time
queen of the Serbs, a woman renown-
ed thruout Europe for her beauty and
for her tragic fate.
When the European war began she
was living in her villa in Biarritz in
much the same state and style of living
that she had maintained when she
lived in the palace in Belgrade. Then
she disappeared, but her life had al
ways been so stormy and there were
so many great matters to stun the
public that little was said about 1t
until recently, when a French writer
who had been at the Serbian court
when she was queen found her in the
close the identity of the hospital, and
her wishes have been respected.
Was Famous Beauty.
Natalie has written books. but no
tale of romance or adventure could
equal the romance which she has
lived. She was well born, but not or
royal blood; she became the wife OF
a king, but reigned more absolutely
in the hearts of her subjects by rea-
son of her beauty and charm than
because of her position, and the mar
riage was annulled; she was driven
from Inc Country, returned ana Was
driven out again: she was separated
from her husband and reunited to
him; she knew more of the politics
of her adopted country than her hus-
band, who was born in it; she ran the
gamut of human experiences. She
has tasted of the wine of life and
drunk its dregs. At fifty-seven she
has a tremendous store of memories,
and she is drudging in a remote hos
pital
She has merged her own personal
tragedy into the greater tragedy of
the times and is ambitious now not
to rule but to serve others

FOSTER HUMANE WORK
Attention to Sickness and Suffering
in Topeka.

The plain hardworking mule isn't
entirely forgotten, even tho the Adam
son bill does fail to provide for him
a working day of not more than eight
hours. During the year covered by
it's report filed with the state board
of control the Foster Humane society
humanely ended the lives of 80 old
horses and mules overworked, starved,
decrepit and unfit for hard labor.
Thirty-two owners of horses and
mules were ordered to blanket their
animals that were standing in cold
weather One hundred forty horses
and mules which were being worked
while in an unfit condition by reason
of disease, sores or starvation and
emaciation were suspended from labor
until they were in working condition.
Seven horses and mules were found
abandoned and were humanely KILL
ed. Sixty-seven horses and mules
which were overloaded were relieved
Twenty-six drivers were stopped from
beating. kicking and otherwise cruel
" treating their horses and mules.
Forty-one owners of horses were re-
quested to loosen the check reins on
their animals so as to allow them
to carry their heads and necks IN
natural position.
Fourteen cases of cruelty to dogs
were looked after and seventeen cases
of mistreatment and abandonment OF
cats were attended to.
Thirty-nine cases of cruelty to
chickens were stopped
More important even than these
things is the fact that fifteen cases of
CT uelty and neglect of children were
brought before the judge of the juve-
nile court and the condition of the
children greatly improved. The fiji
teen cases involved twenty-six chill
dren. Two hundred and ninety cases
of cruelty and neglect of children were
Investigated and in most cases of
these the cruelty was discontinued and
the general conditions were greatly
improved Nineteen of the children
were negroes and six were Mexicans.
A great deal of attention was given
to the treatment of the sick and the
injured.

'bewildering artificial limitations on

Strengthen Railway Credit.
Railway net returns" says Mr..
Trumbull, for the fiscal year just
ended, altho it showed the largest
gross earnings in their history, were
equivalent to about 5 u per cent on
the property used by the public
surely not exorbitant. Not even a
unified regulation can be successful ii
it is not to make weak roads health
Ter and more serviceable, nor can it be
successful if based on returns of pros
porous years only"
Emphasizing the fact that millions
of people are dependent upon weak
roads. and pointing to the southwest,
where a large number of railroads are
bankrupt, Mr.. Trumbull says: Sure
ly that is not all due to bad manage
ment. How much of it is due to un-
wise regulation, how much to un-
sound laws about financing, and how
much to other things? Could any con-
gressional action be of greater SER
vice than to do whatever is necessary
to safeguard and to strengthen rail-
way credit?''
