Wrote Article on Cooking
Couldn't Cook an Egg.

1t will be remembered that a num-
Der of articles were issued under the
name Of Vivian Martin on the sub
ject of cooking. Whether or not the
Morosco star read these articles and
believed that she had written them
will never be known, but at any rate
she has been acting in avery swagger
manner whenever the subject of cul-
mary art has been mention around
the studio and has even openly brag-
ged of her ability as a cook. But in
a production in which she is now
working she is called upon to preside
over cook stove. To the amuse-
ment of her compatriots and to her
own utter confusion she fried an egg
on the wrong side! In order to pre-
vent her from further damaging her
reputation as a cook, Miss Martins
director changed the business so that
she would merely boil water; thus
saving her reputation from any other
discriminating evidence.

WHY PRINTERS
ARE FAVORITES

A dentist is an awful bore, bar
Der is an awful cut-up, a carpenter
spends most of his time knocking,
the average candidate takes his ex-
ercise running, lawyer is eternally
giving someone advice, doctor has
lots of patients, photographer wants
everyone to look pleasant, tele-
phone man is climber, an auctineer
is breezy fellow, but printer is
always a favorite with the girls. A
printer admires a good form,
doesn't care for "pP", uses good
"rules" in his business, has a few
ceases" on tap most any time, always
keeps a few comps" for everything
and knows all about how to go to
"press". What more could girl ask.

But when Russian antocracy Is out of

Democratic Forces
Mastering Power.

During the same time the democrat
&c elements mustered their forces. At
first they organized the Union of Rus
sian Cities and the Union of Proyin-
cial Assemblies. Then they gained the
upper hand in the newly organized
Industrial Councils for Military De-
Tense. That brought them into close
touch with the armies at the front.
whose confidence they soon won by
organizing the military hospital serv-
ice improving the transportation serv-
ice and modifying the industrial re-
sources Of the country. In fact, if 1t
We're not for these voluntary associa-
tons representing the will and deter
mihation of the people, the Russian
armies would have been out of the
game long ago.
Anyone who has followed events
closely, could have foreseen what has
now happened II there is anything,
to be surprised at, il is the rather
slow pace at which things have been
moving. Even now only the first step
has been made. The situation in Rus
STA can not be improved until radical
