Speak Good of tine Dead or Not at
 All.

Many, many harsh things have been said of Les Darcy, Australian middleweight, during the past few months. Now that he is dead you will begin at once to notice dif- ferent trend in the tune of the hypocratical writer who were wont to criticise him in life.
 The passing of Les sDarcy marks one of the darkest spots in the annals of American pugilistic his- tory Not even the sad ending of Jack Dempsey, the far-famed Non pareil,' compares to the manner in which the Australian champion was forced to take the last count.
 Darcy was mach misunderstood in America" declares Mick Hawk ins, the Australian who found Dar- cy and brought him to the fore, and came with him to America. "He was not a 'slacker.' as he was labeled. He did more to help Au-

WHEN THEY WORK
 WITH "DOUC" THEY WORK


 Contrary to the general rule of mum. bling words that have no immediate bearing on the action of the scene Douglas Fairbanks has instituted in his company the idea of rchearsing the scenario just as though it was being prepared fer the speaking stage. The various members of the cast, in their assigned costumes, speak the lines of the scenes with the same dramatic en- dcavof in the way of articulation as they would for stage producer of the Belasco caliber.
 It is "Doug's" contention that in this way an actor, fully realizing the rela- tionship of his part to the development of the story, can do his work with great deal more feeling and apprecia- tion than if he were merely told what was expected of him from scene to scene.
 Motion pictures are like the speak ing stage in many ways" said the Art craft star Tn fact. we are employine more and more the same gestures and grimaces practiccd on the stage to ac- company and emphasize words the kind of pantomine that frequenters of the top sallers sees and understands when he can't hear the voice"

Method in His Madness.

When Alexander Dumas, the French
novelist, was young man he was
grievously insulted by man whom
he had regarded as his friend. Every
one expected him to punish the Of
fender severely, but instead he began
looking out for him with more consid-
Grafton and apparent friendliness than
he had ever shown before. At length.
three years later, when the erstwhile
friend was to be married, the novelist
was asked to serve as best man and
did so. When the ceremony was over
and the guests were leaving, some one
remarked to Dumas II have often
wondered at your kindness to this
man. Surely yours Is remarkably
forgiving nature, for, although he In
suited you grossly, you have assidu-
ously looked out for his happiness
ever since and even assisted him In
getting married" "Quite right" an
swered Dumas. II flatter myself that
have given the fellow the most
furious and lynx-eyed mother-in-law

Modem Joan Of Arc Of Italy
By G. Kay Spencer

It was dusk in the Carnic Alps.
The deep green hues of the mountain
forests were blending in the cleaning.
and restful gloom was settling down
In the mountains. Insects hummed
and droned among the blue grass Of
the pastures. Devious pathways cut
an uncertain course through the volup-
tuous color of the vegetation.
Along one Of these overgrown guild
Ing ways regiment of the Italian
Bersaglieri was making q tortuous
ascent. The crests of the plumes in
their helmets were rustled by mel
low'breaths from the Adriatic. and the
gravel was crunching under rough
shod soldier feet. Otherwise no sound
came from this redoubtable column.
For these men were moving forward
to attack an enemy position which
their air forces had failed to locate
all through humid day Of death.
The Austrian battery had swept
with whitening waves of steel the
backs of these hoary Italian mountain
crests. Thirteen thousand Of Italia's
first line troops had vainly endeavored
to pass the enemy emplacements. The
blood Of Italy's sons dried on every
leaf and gravel path, and her wounded
lay where the Red Cross could never
reach-at the feet Of these eternal
piles, mangled masses Of human flesh.
The Bersaglieri. Italy's strange,
swift-loping infantry, was going into
the action; expert, accurate marks
men, every man.
The advanced patrols and several
on the TANKS had engaged enemy pa
trolls several times and had only sue
ceeded In adding to the perplexities
Of the situation.
Suddenly there was challenge, an
oath in Italian, and presently a cor
poral was seen making his way to the
main body. With him was a woman
a young girl, self possessed and smil-
ing. She inquiries her way to the COM

This Is an Age of Young Men
But They Are Still Young
If on Sunny Side Of Seventy

A generation ago 1t was customary
to talk of those who had reached forty
as of mature age. A man Of those
years is NOW considered young, and
Mt sixty Or seventy can have bril-
liant future still ahead.
That our forefathers had no such
conception of relative youthfulness can
easily be shown, says Thomas F. Ia
gon in Leslie's Weekly. The Constitu-
ton provided that no one should be
eligible for election to the senate ut
an earlier age than thirty-five, the
reasons advanced being that such a
restriction was necessary In order to
keep the senate made up Of grave and
reverend seigniOrs-elder statesmen.
who would not be blown about with
every veering wind of political doc
trine. Today there is not senator
who is just barely beyond the age
limit, and the great majority do not
come into senatorial honors short Of
fifty and fifty-five.
Alexander Hamilton was a sedate
secretary of the treasury at thirty-two.
The younger Pitt became prime minis
ter, first lord of the treasury, and
chancellor Of the exchequer Of Eng
land at twenty-four. Washington
spoke Of retirement from active life
to well-earned rest and leisure for
his remaining years when still but
forty-six.
In recent times we have had no
presidents young in years by the for
mer standards, unless Roosevelt be
classed as an exception in connection
with his first term Of service. Even
the popular novelists have sensed the
change, now making their successful
business men Of forty or Whereabouts
attractive to the heart of the female
reader. This is admittedly an age Of
young men, MS has been claimed, but
they are still young anywhere on the
sunny side Of seventy, and many Of the
most efficient have passed the three
score mark.

handing officer. She carries an auto
matte at her hip and she knows the
Austrian position. She is native Of
the parts and has won the confidence
of Austrian officers.
The engine of blue steel flashes
duly from her hip to her hand and
points upward and onward. She
cheers-a wild Italian mountain cry
and the troops respond. The officer
had not the chance for orders-if he
would have given them. Before he
realized the situation the Bersaglierf
were in motion; following the young
woman, who marched rapidly and
firmly with her automatic In the fore,
greedy for target.
They soon encounter their own adj
vanced patrols and, Joining, they make
precarious way over piles Of age
worn rock.
Direct to the task she leads them
She fights with them; her pistol spit
ting its doses Of death into enemy
breasts; her cheers ringing shrilly
above the maelstrom Of swirling foes,
and steel firing steel on its errand
into enemy vitals.
The encounter was violent and de-
cisive. The Austrians were routed
to be technically correct-were ami
hilated. The Italians occupied the
position and signalled headquarters
the location of adjacent enemy out
posts. The result was the eventual
occupation by the Italian armies Of the
entire Austrian system on that sector.
In Rome, few days later, medal
to military valor" was struck and pre-
sented to coy young girl, who in
sisted that she had done nothing re-
markable in thus serving her country.
Italian poets and novelists are per-
petuating her name and exploit. She
is the Idol of King Victor's soldiers.
Her real name Is Maria Abrian1, but
the men in the Bersaglieri know her
as Jeanne d'Arc d'Italia.

1.-THE WORLD DO MOVE"

Something like gigantic Ice cream
freezer has been built at the Utah Ag-
ricultural college, large enough to sur
round fruit trees, to experiment
with frost effects under actual or
chard conditions.
Because insects collect at the upper
end Of screen doors an inventor has
brought out one in two sections per-
hitting children to enter through the
lower section without admitting in
sects to house.
So that automobile tourists can
carry additional baggage an English
man has invented trailer to be at

and be supported by single wheel.
Violet light Is being used by French
scientists to test precious stones, es-
pecially rubies, as 1t distinguishes the
more valuable Burmese gems from
Siamese ones Of less worth.
For sending messages from air
planes or balloons to the ground
Frenchman has invented q missile to-
contain paper, which, on striking the
ground, ignites a colored fire to sig
nal Its whereabouts.
A simple but accurate method for
the surface Of human

To help women select gowns stereop-
