THREE PICTURES OF BESSIE LOVE ,Ar HOME.

Horton in command. Bessie flew about
like a bird, but with never a lost mo-
ton. She is clever little house
keeper, and her mother assured me that
she could have got the supper all by
herself if need be. But that would
have spoiled the fun and the lesson of
cooperative endeavOr. We were soon
gathered at table, and then learned
some Of the things about Bessie that
few people know.
The little screen star, who IS not yet
eighteen, has a voice, and it is being
cultivated. It Is q voice Of beautiful
quality. And she has talent. I do not
say this on my own authority. Her in
:jructor says SO very earnestly. He
told me so. And he is the great Con-
stantino, now resident in Los Angeles.
I agreed with him when I heard her
sing. Somehow it brought the tears.
And Bessie can play. She has been
studying the piano for several years
before success in pictures made possi-
BILE the proper training Of the voice.
Also Bessie draws, not just like any
schoolgirl, but really well. And all
these things she hides from all except
the few intimates who come within the

learned it one night when Bessie
and her mother took me home to din
ner. Also I found out lot Of inter
esting things about the talented little
Triangle star things that she nelt
tells and that no outsider knows.
Bessie's father is a physician, and
the first thing you notice at )ut him is
the wonderful kindness in his smiling
eyes. The family name is Horton, and
there is delightful Horton bungalow
out in Hollywood. Bessie is the only
child, and the three Of them are such
chums as you rarely find in one family.
1t is a simple household, sufficient
unto itself, and when dinner time came

Pedestrians in the downtown district
who are compelled to cross streets du-
ring the rainy season would do well
to bear in mind that more than the
usual precaution is necessary at such
times. Many drivers turn corners at
too great a speed and if the car skids
it is liable to "side swipe" everyone
within several feet of it. he driver
may be pointing the car in the right
direction, but skidding auto has no
conscience, a. when it starts it mows
down everything in its path, from hu-
man beings to other automobiles.

MAXWELL CHOSEN FOR
FOUR YEARS TRIP

One of the most unique advertising
pilgrimages ever made in this coun-
try is now being made by twenty
mule team and Maxwell roadster.
The "big idea" is to advertise a
brand of household borax with the
20-mule team hauling a train of bo-
rax wagons loaded just as they come
from the borax mines in Death Val
ley.
J But the little Maxwell advance car
is attracting quite as much attention
as the mule team. The car is driven
by c. R. Bruce, advance agent, who
is making the arrangements for the
appearance Of the mule team in each
city, where a parade" and a tent
show are to be held and samples, of
the borax given out.
The entire United States is to be
covered, including every city, town
and hamlet, and it will take four
years to make the journey. Bruce in
the Maxwell keeps a town ahead of
the team and says that while he goes
ahead of the mules as matter of
business in this case, he is a staunch
believer in the old superstition that
it is better luck to keep in front of
mule anyhow. He says it is all right
to be the man behind-but not when
there are mules in front. He has had
the Maxwell roadster painted a bril-
liant red with advertising lettered on
all sides of it, and the little car pre-
sents brilliant dash of color as it
skins merrily over the roads or
through the city streets. In speaking
Of the car recently to A. L. Luce,
local Maxwell dealer, Mr.. Bruce said:
"The work of an advance agent for
such a tremendous advertising pro-
ject demands as sturdy an automo-
bile as it is possible to buy, and
one which at the same time presents
a better than usual appearance.
! 1t must be easy to handle, both in
crowded city traffic and on rough
country roads, and must be capable
of withstanding much hard usage. The
Maxwell seemed to fill the bill to a
"T," and the satisfactory service l
have had from the little red roadster
in California fortells pleasant and
successful journey across the conti-
nent. My speedy little car is already
the envy of those who are driving the
mule team, as there is vast diff
ference between the uncomfortable
high seat on the heavy wagons and
the easy-riding qualities of the Max
well with it's now long springs"

magic circle Of that richly harmonious
little family.
But there is one thing that no player
for the screen can hide. That Ia the
heart within them. And so the world
knows what I know from being with
her at the studio and in her home-that
she is a veritable little bundle Of love.
Bessie loves every one," said her
mother, "and she does not seem to
know fear. That is what we wanted
and sought to cultivate most of all.
And It always seemed to be natural
to her-nOt even to know evil"
"Every one is so good to me-" says
Bessie, lit will be wonder If I'm not
spoiled"
Mother and daughter are constant
companions wherever the requirements
OF picture making take them. Occa-
sionally Mrs. Horton takes 'sbit" in a
picture, "just because it's Bessie's," but
her only care is to guard and nurture
the talent that is In her daughter and
especially to keep her the wholesoms,
NATURAL unaffected girl that she Is.
The task does not look difficult, but
one can be sure THAT it win be well
done. rs~0 sxs... = uzs,ku.r.xus y .s.usJ

Some Truck Enlightenment.
By J. A. Hoblit, CaleXico.


The truck buying and using pub
lie are inclined to overlook the most
important feature of truck, and that
is the final drive.
No man would buy truck with
a cast iron front axle, yet the rear
axle, which carries two-thirds of the
load and does the driving also, is
built up Of massive castings, bolted
together and trusted with a rod, in
all drives except internal gear drive.
There has been $73,OOO,OOO worth of
trucks shipped out of the United
States for the European war since it
began, and 78 per cent were internal
gear drive. There must be a good
and sufficient reason.
1t is we'll worth while to investi-
gate the distinctive features of the
DENLY truck.
