Famous Star Risks
 Life for Movies
Lillian Walker Boards Moving
 Train in Film-"The Blue Envelope Mystery" Tuesday.

Yes-of course motion picture stars do receive large salaries-and they never do hard days work. it IS said. Nevertheless Lillian Walker, the dimple favorite of the Vitagraph Company who stars in "The Blue En- velope Mystery" the story written by Sophie Kerr which ran seriallv in The Woman's Home Companion could very soon tell the movie fans how motion picture star earns her fabu- lous salary if they would but listen.
 In the filming of this Blue Ribbon Feature which is to be shown at the Gem Theater on Tuesday, Miss Walk CT is forced to run after and jump upcE a fastly moving train
 The officials of the Vitagrapn Com lany found it impossible to hire a train specially for this scene, so it was agreed that an actor in the uni form of a conductor board the train at the station and stand on the rear platform. Then Miss Walker was to run after the train and this man open the gate and help her on.
 Everything went as planned until the train pulled off. The motormen in the cab in front did not know that one of the most popular and beauti- full stars in filmdom was destined to board his train after it started and he was already two minutes behind the schedule time. Therefore he opened the throttle and it appeared impossible for the little star to carry out the instructions. The director and cameraman who were standing but they did not know Miss Lillian. on top of tn station in the back ground never thought for minute that she would attempt to make it
 Away she flew after the disappear ing train-she made it too-even if the poor fellow on the platform did become so nervous at her daring that he forgot to help her until she called -"Give me your hand or this will be the end of the picture as far as I'm concerned"
 This characteristic remark brought him back to his senses and the fin ished scene in the film is most thrill ing one.

SPEED-NOW AND H E

Congress has been the but of considerable
of late for alleged dilatory tactics. Com
parison with the first session of the war congress
called by President Lincoln is interesting. Lin
coin congress passed 81 laws of prime. Importance
in 80 days and then adjourned.
That's a record that our present congress can
not equal because it dosen't care to do so. Since
Lincoln's time congress has grown more wordy
every session. There are more divergent ele-
ments, too, congressman of both major parties
.disagreeing with one another in spite of war.
The slow grinding of the present congress, how
ever, is largely due to the opposition of many of
the members to some of the presidents revolution
any proposals. We are going in for distatorships,
price fixing, councils, commissions and what not
and these are questions that are not the main
springs Of war, but correlates.
In no war in which we have ever engaged has
there been as quick action as in the present one.
At no time has our fleet gotten into action as
quickly; nor our army as quickly modified; nor
the machinery set in motion for the accumulation
of big army in so short a time.
And all this has been done, apparently, in spite
of the wordy methods of congress.
In finances, too, we have never moved so
swiftly. And in the applications of war taxes
either.
Somehow congress can't slow up the ship of
state. In 1861 the country apparently took con-
gress more seriously than we do now.
England has it's Irish question and we have our
troubles with the Irish potato.
PROBABLY TRUE.
The report Of a Chicago morals inspection or
ganization quotes the statement Of a police official
that for every crooked policeman in the city, there
are 500 crooked citizens.
This is probably true of every large city. 1t is
not only essential that the police departments be
straight and above-board," but that the citizens
be likewise.
1t wouldn't pay a policeman in large city to be
crooked and delinquent in his duty if many more
citizens wouldn't be crooked enough to make it
ny.
