|NCE TWICE R|SKED LIFE

The firmly set, determined mouth
of Thomas II. Ince, producer of

is a strong indication of the persist
ence of this director who less than
six years ago was earning $3.50 a
day and is today one of the biggest
men in the film industry. Nothing
could better illustrate the determine
ton to accomplish what he sets out
to do, at all hazards, than some
circumstances surrounding the pro-
duction of Civilization"
During the year and half that

Ince twice nearly lost his life. The

Santa Monica mountains, where
most of his pictures are taken, to

turned turtle up a hill. He had
been racing on the way home with
Raymond b. West, the assistant
director of Civilization" and when
Mr.. West and his chauffeur lifted
Mr.. Ince from under his Mercedes
they found his arm badly broken.
He was taken at once 10 the hospi-
tai, where he was laid up for six
weeks. During this time of or>more

where Mr. lnce was engaged with
eight of his men in working on
100000 feet of Civilization" film

compose the picture. The gun cot
ton in the positive film exploded and
Mr.. Ince and three of his men were
so badly burned that they had to
be removed to the hospital immedi-
ately. But as Mr.. Ince had already

entire positive was destroyed, and

considerable extra time to send for

task of again cutting his film and
arranging captions and titles, would
have been enough to discourage the
average man, but as Mr.. lnce Is far
from being an average man, ne
merely set his jaw a little firmer to-
gether and went to work with more
nersistency than ever.

A Bit of Human Nature.

The other day husky and rather rough looking driver was ha wing trou- ble with his horse and, suddenly losing his temper. started to beat him. A number of men rushed toward him with the intention of stopping him when his arms were suddenly arrested in midair. The would be rescuers paused. too. and looked. Standing close by the man was a little girl, of not more than four years-just looking looking. Not word was spoken. no pen could describe the look on the lit tie ones face. but the heavy driver stopped his beating and spoke kindly to his horse. Strangely. too. the horse moved. and there was no trace of the incident except a flush underneath the drivers tan, a few damp eyes among the spectators and a happy smile on the little girls face. - Philadelphia Press.

Raw Eggs Keep Longer Than Boiled.


 Raw eggs keep good much longer than cooked eggs, even when these are hard boiled. This was proved by Dr.. Leon Lindet. a member of the Paris Conseil d'Hygiene. after many French soldiers had reported that the hard boiled eggs they received from home had gone bad. while the raw eggs re- mained edible for weeks.
 Dr. Lindet explains this fact by say ing that the boiling makes the inner membrane pervious to gases. liquids and microbes. and the white of the egg becomes an agglomeration of cOagu- lated albunen and particles of serum that is an ideal medium in which mi crObes thrive.
