Elizabeth James, the adorable six year-old, who is the companion of Harry Carey, the daring hero of But terfly Western pictures, in many of his most hazardous exploits is a re- markable child in more than one re- spect. She is an accomplished screen player, as anybody will admit who mas seen her register all the emotions in mannerS to; excite the envy of many an, actress with years of ex- perience. She can ride pony like a veteran cowgirl and seems absolutely fearless in the most dangerous situa- tions., In addition, this tiny tot is a wonderful swimmer, her prowess hav- ing won her many medals. In fact, she is known among the California coast resorts as "The Bimini Seals, having gained the nickname by div ing into the ocean from a considera- ble height, her feet tied together and her hands bound securely to her sides, and swimming ashore like a seal. Carey is Elizabeth's hero, and the two are great friends. Indeed, her greatest ambition is to become his leading lady when she grows up. ONE OF THE PERILS.
 Emily Stevens has found out that one of the perils which a movie star may be called upon to undergo is the danger of being struck by lightning. She was riding along New Jersey country road during a long-awaited rainstorm the other night, the camera being trained on her touring car, when there was a blinding flash and a bolt of lightning struck a large tree close to the automobile. A large branch of the tree fell across the front part of the car, the top being just strong enough to withstand the impact. Nobody was injured, but Miss Stevens escape was miraculous. Thanks for the miracle.

Real Meaning Of "Maru." "

The word 'Maru," attached to the
name of every Japanese merchant ship
and commonly accepted as meaning
ship" has no especial meaning, ac-
cording to Captain Takeshima of the
japanese steamship Hudson Maru, re-
Gently captured and released by q Ger
man raider in the South Atlantic. Cap
tain Takeshima said that the word is
the survival of japanese custom cenE
turtles old. He explained the origin as
follows: "There are two opinions as
to how the custom originated. One
of the stories, which l believe is the
correct one, is that in ancient times
the Japanese attached 'maru' to the
name of anything precious or highly
priced, as a sword or a baby. 1t was
first applied to ships name about D.
900 years ago, when the Empress lingo
sent an expedition to Korea. She add
ed the word to the name of the ship
that transported the troops to Korea.
Ever since then Maru' has been part
of the name of every steamship or sail
ing vessel. 1t is never used with the
name of warship."

Art Of EnYnt.

Art history, particularly in the
branch of painting, has undergone
some RADICAL revisions in the last quar-
ter of century, us u direct result Of
Egyptian archaeological research.
Painting as we know it today, is at
least 5000 years old--and we have
found the originals to prove it. The
site Of ancient Thebes, now represent
ed by the modern villages of Karnak
and Luxor, has been one Of the richest
quarries worked by modern scholarly
excavators of various nationalities.
Ten years ago the New York Metropoli-
tan museums expedition established at
Thebes q special school or atelier for
the purpose of copying and recording
the brllllant-painted scenes and inscrip-
tiona uncovered In the royal tomb chap

(TO BE CONTINUEDO
HOBBIES ARE NOT ALL BAD
They May Have a Very Soothing In
fluence Upon One If They Are
Not Ridden to Death.

A great deal has been said from
time to time of the unhealthy influ-
ence of what the world is pleased to
call "hobbies," the idea being, Of
course, that valuable time is wasted
in their pursuit which could other
wise be used to advantage. OF course,
in the case of hobbies, just as in all
other interests of purely personal
preference, the harm lies in their
abuse. To mount a hobby and ride it
to death, thus deliberately thwart-
ing our real aim, is sheer waste of
time, but to care for it gently, to
adapt its influences to our advantage
and to draw upon it with discretion
is a very different matter, says the
Charleston News and Courier. Hob
bies, as a rule, are evidences of indi-
viduality; they represent various
routes by which we are struggling to
arrive at certain goal, a goal per-
hapS which may not be clearly defined,
but which exists somewhere for those
who try to reach it. We find certain
comfort at times in yielding to the
more or less soothing influences of
some particular hobby, whether it be
merely the discussion of a special
subject or active participation in
particular pursuit. So long as we keep
ourselves within check and resist the
temptation to give way to unrestrict-
ed indulgence in the favorite pursuit
which others are pleased to designate
as hobby, we can do no harm to
anyone, but the trouble is that once
we settle upon u special interest
which will serve as an outlet for our
feelings, we are quite likely to en-
phasize that interest to an unwhole-
some degree.
