MONEY LENDER FITTED POOR
Chinese ShyIock in Manchuria Gave Annual Sum for Relief Work to
 Relieve His Conscience.

A wealthy Chinese money lender in Manchuria was recently convicted of making false declaration regarding robberies of his caravans by Mongolian bandits. His conscience troubled him to such an extent that he offered to contribute an annual sum of $750 for the relief of the poor, East and West says. This money was made the basis of a fund for feeding the helpless at Kungchuling.
 Manchuria is terribly poor, despite the mineral and agricultural riches ex- tracted from it's soil and rocks. all of which products are shipped abroad. There are probably thousands of indus trious natives unable, by unremitting toll, to earn more than meager liv- ing. When to their natural difficulties are added the ravages of bandits and the evils of misgovernment, such as now prevails in many parts of China, abject proverty and starvation must be the lot of the people who, in the best of times, are only half fed.

This Is the first story by this author to be produced at Culver City and it is said to be one of the most picturesque dramas ever made at the Ince plant.
 "Jim Grimsby's Boy'' is a pathetic story of a girl raised in the noun tains of the gold country by father who wanted a son and insisted on
 raising his daughter as though she were of the opposite sex. The plot is notably original and offers MT. Kee- nan a role distinctly different from any attempted by this screen ce- lebrity in the past.

Nicou Scores
By ZOE BECKLEY

When Roy Nicoll said, I'm going back to New York tonight; I'll call Walt on the phone and tell him you're all right" Janet felt like a person who, making fierce effort to unlock door, finds it entirely unfastened and yielding. She felt little ashamed of having had even the remotest and vaguest distrust of Nicoll. AS she thought it over now, she could not de- fine just what she had or had not ex- pected, If anything.
 Janet only knew that in everything that day-their stormy motor trip to Philadelphia, the meeting of the Fem mist Congress committee in which plans were discussed for making "her" magazine first in the field; and Nicoll's delicacy in taking himself back to New York, leaving her comfortably hosteled for the niEht-he had acted in a way to increbe her admiration for him tenfold.
 The one weight upon her mind seemed now removed. She had mis- judged Roy Nicoll, she told herself. He was after all just a good friend, straightforward and kind. He was clever businessman who recognized in her clever businesswoman who would make a name for herself and money for him-and money was his standard of success in life. She had nothing to fear. He evidently had seen the hopelessness of winning her from the husband she truly loved, if, indeed, he had ever held such an am bition, and with honest sportsmanship had determined to give Janet her chance without making her pay any price save her capable work.
 The relief of 1t sent Janet's spirits soaring. She sat down in her we'll furnished hotel room and wrote a gay letter to Walt. ~t ,"
