Gamblers Of Old West
Not Crooked Says Hart

Gamblers of the old west and their
generosity was the subject of discus
sion recently on the part of William S.
Hart, the noted western character ac-
tor, during a brief lul in activities at
Inceville, where tie Hart plays are
filmed. The popular star declared that
the accepted Interpretation of the old
western gambler is that of a gruff in
dividual who was wont to mark the
cards and prey upon the unsuspecting
and that such an interpretation is
wrong.
"The crooked gambler was an ex-
'ception rather than the rule" said
Hart, "and because the present gen
Grafton does not realize this, man
risks deterioration cf character in the
eyes of his friends when he admits that
he had anything to do with faro lay
outs and cards in the days of the old
west. When / was a youngster in
North Dakota | constantly was being
brought into contact with the men who
lived by games of chance, and, while
their ranks did have to claim a dis
honest member or two, there were not
many of that 1lk.
"The character of Jack O Diamonds
in The Square Deal Man is, 1 think,
a faithful delineation Of type of gam
bier that was common when ] was
boy in the west. | remember having
met just such man one day when l
went to town with my father. He took
a liking to me and used to press a gold
piece into my hand every time l saw
him. And later learned that he had
given literally to charitable causes. y
"The Square Deal Man" is the lat
est western thriller in which Hart is
presented by Thomas H. Ince on the
Triangle program. 1t will be shown at
the Oregon next Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.

ARTILLERY
BY Berton BraleY

By Berton Braley
Guns Guns! Guns!
In the battle of today, they re the ones,
They re the bruisers in the fray
They re the boys that clear the
way,
Throwing projectiles by tons
Heavy Guns!
Yes, somewhere way back of the lines
| In a nice, leafy bower or dell,
Is where the artillery shines
In givin' the enemy hell;
The guns waddle up through the mire
Like a fat lady walks on her pins,
Whenthe command comes to fire
Well, that's wher the straffin' be-
gins.
The muzzles heaven up to the sky
The lanyard is pulled, there s a roar
The shells whistle, curvin' up high,
And then there is more-an' still
more,
The gunners they swat an they smiles
As carriages shiver an wrench,
An way off-some several miles
Them shells has abolished a trench.
Your infantry may be 0. K,
But when you prepare for charge
If big guns amt elearin the way
You re gonta be smashed, by an
large,
Its guns that rips bomb proofs to bits
An barb wire entanglements too,
It's guns gives the enemy fits
So infantrymen kin break through!
Yes, you've gotta have guns,
Heavy guns,
THROWN shells by tons an tons,
Shells that's smashes an that stuns,
THEY'RE the bruisers of the fray
They re the boys that clears the way,
In the warfare of today, they're the
ones
Bully guns
