Voice of the People.

Who ran the Hughes machine into the ditch? The Progressives blame the Old Guard chauffeur, and the Old Guard driver puts 1t up partly to the Progressive small boys who scattered broken glass on the road, and partly to the passenger who insisted on inter- fering with the chauffeur. Should the soup kitchens have been opened up earlier in the campaign, or should they have remained closed? On both sides 1t Is taken for granted that the Repub- Hcans had the election won, and that bad management threw it away. In neither camp is there any seeming in- clination to admit that perhaps there was something more fundamental in- volved than an unskilful chauffeur or nervous passenger or a bad boy in the middle of the road. When Repub- ncans speak of states that were lost while others were saved, they might ponder the fact that Wilson gained more heavily in saved" Massachusetts than in Host" Kansas; more in Michi- gan than in Washington, more in Maine than in New Mexico. Instead of ask ing themselves how they managed to lose Kansas, Washington, and New Mexico they might be asking them selves how they succeeded in saving Massachusetts, Michigan and Maine. So far the evidence is that the Re publican machine was not ditched at all, but that it ran out of gas.

than the width of single-wheel track, then gradually increase until desired width is obtained.
 Always drag a little earth towards the center of the road until it is raised from 10 to 12 inches above the edges of the travelled way.
 If the drag cuts too much, shorten the hitch.
 The amount of earth that the drag will carry along can be very consid- erably controlled by the driver, ac- cording as he stands near the cutting end or away from it.
 When the roads are first dragged after a very muddy spell the wagons should drive, if possible, to one side until the roadway has a chance to freeze partially or dry out.
 The best results from dragging are obtained only by repeated applica- ton.
 Remember that constant attention is necessary to maintain an earth road in its best condition.-Highway Maga- zine.

NUMBERS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Iowa State Highway Commission Sug. gests That City Plan Be Used
 Capital Central Point.

Numbering of country roads and residences so that every road and country home may be instantly To- cated, is advocated by the service bull letin of the Iowa state highway con- mission, which is just off the press. The system advocated was originally suggested last June.
 In the system suggested, the section upon which the state capitol is located is considered the central point and all roads are numbered north, east, south and west from this. Using the base map appearing in the bulletin, one can easily locate the number of his road and house.
 The system is so arranged that practically every road bears the same designation across the state. The numbering system does not in any way interfere with the use of the names of organized tourist routes such as Lincoln highway and others.

Where Republicans Failed.

The Republican party in the election failed to realize that we have paid our debts; 1t did not realize that a new leaf is turned; it did not realize that what a debtor nation may do with inn punity in the field of foreign trade would ruin a creditor nation with large masses of its capital in the keep Ing of other peoples. Yet at this most critical hour of transition in Americas world relations, the Republican party's eyes were turned backward upon the past, and it's only utterance was a feeble echo of the war cry of a van tShed day.

The PeopIe's Physique.

Some consideration should be given to the effect that the change in loco motion will make upon the physique of the people; for even the farmers are now using the automobile, and the horse is used for little but draft pur- poses. Will not the race become lax and nerveless that lolls upon soft cush- ions, protected in every way from the hard joltings of the road? More and more, machinery is brought into serv- ice, and less and less physical exertion is required in the carrying on of open air occupations. Man touches a but ton, and a gas engine does the rest. This makes things easier; but the question is whether it confers an actual benefit in the end.-Mobile Register.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
 FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and beautifuI-Get 25 cent bottle
 of Danderine,

If you care for heavy hair that glis- tens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable softness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it imme- diately dissolves every particle of dandruff. You can not have nice heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very life, and if not overcome it produces feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store and just try it.-Adv.

Rat Gave Danger sianaI.

A strange story in connection with the sinking of the Connemara in the Irish sea was related at Greenore. Pat rick Killen, one of the cattlemen, was coming ashore from the Connemara when a large rat jumped from a ham, per he was carrying ashore.
 "That's a bad sign for the crew." he observed to a Greenore railway man, "and it is time for us all to leave the ship"
 The incident impressed him so much that he had to be coaxed to go back aboard.-London Globe.

Need for Caution.

The great personal victory of the president was marvellous. He had to gain 1,S0O,00O votes, and he gained 100000. Hughes made a gain over the Republican vote of 100000; Wilson gained 100000 over 1912. surely a most remarkable showing. However, the party must not be carried away by the victory. It will seem to all that now is the time to be cautious. The Democrats will be on trial in the next four years more than at any time in the history of the organization.

there on the stage were the very actors who had made the picture continuing in person the action that was being shown on the screen. Surprise Is one of the most essential elements of com edy, but it fell flat. Why? Because in the closeup full faces that were being shown on the screen the audience could see clearly the subtle shades of facial expression that were getting the laugh, while on the stage in per son their faces were merely a white blur to all but those in the front seats.
 Another advantage of the movies over the stage for comedy purposes Is that the picture-maker does not have to resort to artificial or mechanical tricks. To be funny, scene must be natural, the actor must seem re faxed and unconscious of his audience. If the movie director wants to show an absent-minded butterfly hunter walking into a waterfall, he shows real waterfall with real sylvan back ground. He doesn't have to use a painted drop and a stream of water that flows evenly. from a pipe. He uses no props, no matter how many different scenes he may want to show in single comedy"
 MT. Sennett believes enthusiastically in the movies. There must be some thing wonderful" he says, about the business that can develop in half a generation into the third largest indus try in the country" And this man who has genius for packing five laughs into a situation where only one laugh grew before feels that making people happy, besides being lucrative occu- patton, is a serious mission.
 "We keep our fingers on the pulse of the world" he told the writer so- berly. "Only the other day I received a report from one of my agents in Paris. He wrote me that when the wounded soldiers come back the first thing they ask Is, Where can we get laugh; where can we see a funny play; where can we see a funny nov ing picture? I myself have received | letters from towns behind the battle lines of Europe, expressing gratitude for laugh of which 1 vas the father, | and I tell you they have made my heart expand.
 People sometimes ask me what screen comedians are like outside the studio, whether there's any truth in the myth that those whose business 1t is to make others laugh are usually gloomy individuals themselves. AS far as I've observed, film comedians are like other people, only perhaps the large salaries they receive make 1t easy for them to laugh in and out of the studio."
 And with a triply hearty laugh the director-scenario-writer-actor Macklyn
 Sennett. bounded out of his chair to plunge energetically into the rehearsal
 of scene that will soon make millions
 laugh.

Wilson's Nonpartisanship.

Criticism of MT. Wilson's diplomatic appointments and changes played a conspicuous part in the campaign. The president seems to have taken the first opportunity to live up to the nonparti- sanship he so often comments. The choice of MT. Garrett to succeed Doc tor Van Dyke as minister to the Neth- erlands is the best proof he could give that he will do so. MT. Garrett is a Republican. He has been in the diplo- matic service for fifteen years. The temptation is no doubt strong to re- ward the deserving" in a majority party, but in a time of world war trained administrators should go to the top of the list.-Philadelphia Led ger.

dares not depend too mucn on hu- morouS makeup or queer clothes. If he appears on the screen wearing ludi- crous costumes it is just as if he wore on his shirt front placard reading, I'm funny. Watch me- If he fails to live up to his clothes, the Lord help him! He must get laugh with every gesture, must back up those clothes or he goes flat and the audience be gins to ask, Who is this guy trying to act funny, anyway? He's painful For that reason don't like to rely on funny make-ups. I'd rather have an actor who can be funny in a dress suit. Several actors have made great | regulations as comedians simply be- cause they were unusual specimens of humanity, because they were remark ably fat or remarkably tall, because they had some very pronounced pecul- iarity of features or because of great | ability as facial contortionists. These men are born and cannot be made. Many of our future star comedians | of the silent drama will be recruited from the Europeans, I believe. Con- tinentals are by nature very expressive. They talk with their arms, eyes and whole faces. This is true especially of the members of the volatile Latin races, who cannot mention a spade | without making a gesture as If they | were about to dig a hole, cannot keep the sparkle out of their eyes when they tell joke.
 | 'The screen has many advantages over the stage" said MT. Sennett, his active mind skipping to another phase of the many-sided subject he loves to discuss from any angle. For one thing, on ten by fifteen foot moving picture screen it is possible for ev- cry person in the theater to see the expression of an actors face more clearly than 1t can be seen by those sitting in the back of a regular play house.
 Tn closeup picture you can show all the minutest details, the culver of an actors eyelash or the faintest curl of his lip. Look at this picture of Ray mond Hitchcock and the dancer for example. In the film a closeup pie ture of MT. Hitchcock's face is shown ne IurnS SLOWLY toward the audience
 and winks It brought roar of laugh. ter everywhere the film was shown Just a wink! But every movie fan in the house could see his eyelash move and catch the expression in his eye as clearly as if MT. Hitchcock was sitting in a chair beside him. You could not get that effect to the gallery gods, or even to the people in the back orchestra chairs, if Hitchcock himself was on the stage of regular theater.

LET POULTRY HELP WIN WAR
Threatened Hunger Period May Be
Warded OFF in Great Measure by
Attention to Chickens.

The hunger period which threatens
the United States and It's allies in the
present war may be warded of, in part
at least, by attention to the lowly
chicken, says A. c. Smith, head of the
poultry department Of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture.
The hen is the only producing crea-
ture that can be probably kept on
small areas such us city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste into
a highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses large part Of her living for
several months in the year, and dur
ing this time is usually a high pro-
Queer of very fertile eggs. She re-
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal.
She can DO cared for by women and
children and often by invallds and
convalescents.
For these reasons, Mr.. Smith urges
that every well-selectcd hatchabIe egg
should be set at this season when eggs
are lower in price than at any other
time of the year.
Other poultry including ducks, geese,
and squads should also receive careful
attention in view of the present and
future food situation.

COOP TO BREAK BRooDY HENS
Slated Bottom Device Will Cure Most
Persistent Sitter In Very Short
Space Of Time.

Broody hens not desired for set
ting purposes can be broken up with
very little trouble if placed in the
broody coop as soon as noticed. The
longer this is put Off the more per-
slstent the sitter becomes in her de-
termination to sit, and the quicker she
is put in her Jail the sooner she will
start to lay. The yolks Of the eggs
begin to absorb with continued sit
ting, and every day she sits prolongs
the day of the laying of the first egg.
A small coop, made with a Slated
bottom so that the air can pass up
underneath the fowl and so that she
will be uncomfortable and move about,
is the best apparatus one can use in
making her forget it."
