HOMESTEAD ALLOTMENTS
Representations That Big StOckmen
Are Seeking to Gobble Up the Land
Assigned as Reason.

Swamped with letters and kilograms
urging that the 640-acre homestead
law. recently enacted, is being utiliz-
ed by wealthy stockmen of the west
to gobble up large areas OF public
range. in direct violation OF the terms
Of the law. Secretary of the Interior
Lane has decided to designate no land
for entry under this law until he can
make a thorough investigation and
determine whether or not fraud is
being attempted.
Charges pouring in say that in all
the western states big stockmen have
been sending their herders and other
employees to make applications for
land under this law, thus obtaining
prior right to enter In this way, II is
alleged, frauds are being attempted
similar to dummy entries made under
the old timber and stone act. But no
land can be actually entered under
the 640-acre law until the department
tai regulations have been issued, and
then only such land can be entered as

Marguerite Clark Goes Contrary to
 The Old Adage

Pictures, subscribes to the fact that q screen stars health is her greatest as- set. It is only by keeping in the pink of condition that she can stand the terrific strain of working day after day in the Famous Players studio.
 Marguerite Clark plays child parts upon the screen that present her at the age of twelve, and she carries them off as convincingly as if she were not day older than the character which she is portraying. How does she do it? By keeping herself in such perfect physical condition that she has all the freshness and spontaneity of the child of that age.
 So continuously does Miss Clark work that it requires two directors to keep pace with her in the big studio. While one director is preparing a script for her she is acting the stellar role ill another production. As she takes the last scenes in her picture the director in charge takes it to the labo. ratory and begins cutting and assem- bling the production, while Miss Clark starts work under the second director. How does she stand this continuous strain?
 There is only one answer: By so reg ulating her day that she gets a cer- tain amount of exercise and given number of hours of sleep every twenty four hours. Miss Clark has always been very abstemious eater, her dai- ly consumption of food being less than half that of the average person. She seldom eats meat and will frequently make a meal of salad and toast Miss Clark takes at least eight hours sleep every night and never fails 10 in- dulGc in some form of exercise before
