PINES FOR 0LDTIME oRAToRY
Writer Declares That Modern Speak
ers Fail to Satisfy Our Long
ing for Language.

What has become of the old-fashion-
ed orator, the d boy who made the
well known welkin ring? Modern
speakers don't satisfy our longing for
language. We remember Mt least three
orators of the old school. One of
them, at a funeral grafton, spoke OF
youth and age. Said he: "Springtime s
brightest green must fade and pass
away to be replaced by drear Decem-
ber's somber hues."
Another, telling of a visit he had
made to the place of his birth and boy
hood, told of looking into a spring
around which he had played as child.
He said: "When last / looked into its
mirrored beauty / beheld the smiling
face of a happy boy crowned with q
mass of golden hair. Now ] behold a
broken old man, hating down the
western hill of time, and on his brow
there is the snow which no summers
sun can ever melt"
The third of our favorite orators
said: II have seen fragrant flowers In
the hands of blushing beauty. l have
gazed upon the loneliness of dew-kiss-
ed violets rivaling with their modesty
the majesty of lilies of the valley.
have seen gorgeous roses lending bril-
lance TO sparkling eyes. But, gentle
men, the most beautiful bouquet that
ever burst into bloom before my en-
raptured eyes was-a royal fiush."-

Secret of Spiders Walk.

The way a spider moves its eight
legs in walking is interestingly de.
scribed by a science authority. In or,
der to observe this movement at his
leisure-for it is usually too rapid to
be followed by the human eye-he
tired the spiders by making them swim
and then let them walk slowly over a
smooth surface. In this way he dis
covered: 1. The longest legs, those of
the first and fourth pairs, move along
lines Of their own directions by ver-
teal bending of the joints; the short
er legs of the second and third pairs
move forward by rotation from the
coxae (the joints connecting legs with
the body)-at right angles to their own
directions. 2 First near leg moves
with third off leg; (a) second near leg
moves with third off leg; (b) third
near leg moves with second off leg I;
(c) fourth near leg moves with first
off leg; (d). 3. Walking consists of
(a) and (c) simultaneously, followed
by (b) and (d) simultaneously.

PATSY" gives Miss Caprice rare
opportunity to charm her thousands of
admirers. 1t gives her natural mis-

The incident most enjoyed by the
romping little star was when she up
set small town bully in brook.
This young man tries to annoy June
and her little playmates while they
are in wading. June lures him to the
edge Of the stream and sneaking be-

June's smiles when she misses the

The Women Pickets

Writing to the Baltimore American,
Mrs. Spencer Murray has the follow
ing to say:
To the Editor: In Rome, long ago,
it was not at all the thing to live
in the catacombs. The spirit of those
catacombs is not yet dead. l stood on
Pennsylvania avenue, in Washington,
today and watched one group of suf.
fragists after another arrested for
carrying either a banner of purple,
white and gold or one inscribed "Mr
President. how long must women be
denied voice in q government which
h is conscripting their sons?" These
arrests took place an hour before the
parade began. when the pavements
were clear, also the streets. In the
first two arrests the women were told
to "move on" and arrested because
they elected to stand still = In the
last two arrests the women were
marching with the banners, and the ar
rests were made while they were do
ing SC. No charge was made. Their
barrests were illegal. Peaceful picket
ing is legalized by the Clayton FEEDER
al Act, and approved by President
Wilson. The attempted introduction
into the United States Senate of bill
making picketing illegal is sufficient
comment upon the infringement of
the rights of peaceful petitioning, of
free speech, and of the free press"

At The Republic Tonight.

Olive Thomas, the former beauty of
the "Follies," is seen for the first
time on the screen in "Madcap
Madge, the new Triangle play at the
Republic Theater tonight. It was
written by r. Cecil Smith and pro-
duced under the supervision of Thomas
H. Ince.
In "Madcap Madge'' Olive Thomas
appears as Madge Flower. the daugh-
ter of wealthy broker. She is q
wholesome, miscellaneous girl who gets
expelled from young ladies finishing
school so she can join her mother and
older sister at Palm Beach.
One of the most amusing scenes Is
where she makes her entrance on a
ballroom floor on roller skates, much
to the dismay of her parents. Mother
and sister are angling for an English
nobleman who is travelling incognito.
He turns out to be doddering old
gentleman and not at all what they
expected
Those appearing in the support OF
Miss Thomas are Charles Gum, Dor
cas- Matthews, Jcak Livingston, j..
Warner Sherry and others. The pro-
duction was directed by Raymond W..
West.
In "Madcap Madge, in which
Olive Thomas makes her screen debut,
the mysteries of what takes place in
the exclusive and expensive seminaries
are revealed. The illumination that
Miss Thomas sheds on this is extreme
ly valuable
You are shown what steps young
ladies go through before they are
graduated into the ranks Of the debu-
tsntes. There are scenes in the dor
mitories. where the psjama clad girls
Law out campaigns of mischief for the
coming day. Perhaps the most inter
esting scenes are in the gym, where
the girls are seen going through their
exercises.

Iroles-mother and two daughters, and
in the later part of the production one
girl rescues the other from burning

is one of the most unusual and spec

MISS Ward. with her wonderful

give to each character so distinct a

surplus and interest almost invari-
ably win the contest.
Amongst the traditions handed
down in this vale is one very vital
in its consequential effects upon the
good and welfare of the neighborhood.
Could the tradition have been made a
reality in its commercial effects,
quiet, little Fountain Dale may now
have been, instead of the modest ham,
let, a thriving Altoona or a populous
Pittsburgh, teeming with thousands
of inhabitants and ringing with the
sound of pick, the shrek of the loco
motive and dense with the smoke of
the fires of eternal furnaces. Coal,
0cal, coal. is the issue in the living
tradition In the village of Fountain
Dale a sturdy smith once piled his
useful trade. The site of his shop is
even within the memory of man. One
day two aborgineers of the soil came
to his shop TO have horse shod. The
blacksmith said that he would be glad
to do the work but he had no coal.
That, the Indians looked upon as a
very insufficient reason, for, replied
one of them, "Give me bag" He took
the sack, and going in an easterly di
rection, that is toward Fairfield,
along Jacks Mountain, he, in about
an hours time, returned with a bag
full of coal, the blacksmith said the
best that he had even used. The
smithy. it seems, made no inquiry as
to the place that the Indian had OBJ
tanned this useful article of fuel and
trade, and so the possible wealth of
Fountain Dale lies hidden in the thin
vapors of a vain tradition and the
dark recesses of the rocks.

gray-haired man in gray business
suit, he spoke with a deep frown be-

Feeding the Child of -Four

water it should be filtered or boiled,
or both. -.
Since II is always difficult for chill
dren to chew their food properly it
should be finely minced, mashed or
softened for them throughout these
early years.
Never under any circumstances
should children be given coffee, tea
or strong cocoa. They should have
no highly seasoned or spiced foods,
rich pasries, raw vegetables, onions,
corn or cabbage. Bananas and all
partly ripened fruit are apt to make
trouble. ....-
If children are inclined to be con-
stipated they should have plenty of
laxative foods. These are cereals, par
ticularly oatmeal; the coarser breads,
such as graham and whole wheat;
fruit or fruit juice, particularly Or
anges and prunes, and vegetables like
string beans. asparagus and spinach.
Many children suffer from MANU-
triton; that is, they fail to secure
the food materials they need for de-
velopment and growth, and conse-
quently they are understood, pale,
often. slow and hstless and do not
show the eager, alert habits Of healthy
children. Malnutrition maybe due to
lack of sufficient food Of any kind, to
improper food, bad cooking OF to
some fault of digestion OF to illness
which makes it impossible for the
child properly to utilize the food he
eats.
1t is wise precaution, therefore, If
children are out of sorts, have de-
cayed teeth, bad breath or seem tired
and disinclined to play to have them
examined by a good doctor and to
take all the trouble necessary to get
them into sound eating habits. The
neglect of these early symptoms may
mean lifetime of only partial health
and efficiency.
