PEARL WHITE in
new SERIAL film

To those millions of girls who Just
won't give up their dreams of great
movie careers. Miss Pearl White. the
American Joan of Arc in Pathes new
military mystery serial, Pearl of the
Army" which is to be shown at the
American theatre. has a few words of
unusual advice, simple and direct
I'm not particularly keen on Civ
ing advice, but that's why 1 tell the
girls who write me, learn to be
strong There are a few rules that
I have adopted myself that may be of
some help to any of the foolish young
persons aspiring to serial stardom.
and here they are:
Learn to breathe deeply. I prac-
tice 1t in the open air, winter and
summer spring and fall, and usually
in the unspoiled backwoods if I can
get to them. If didn't, I don't know
how I would get out of some of the
burning traps in which Pathes un-
scrupulous bad men are continually
leaving me bound and almost help
less. have learned to hold my breath
with smoke and fire all about me. It's
a handy little trick to know.
Next, do lots of walking. Moving
picture work is not all joy riding, and
if you haven't got a good pair of
sturdy legs, you'll be carried out on
a stretcher. If there's one thing Mr..
Edward Jose, who is directing Pearl
Of the Army doesn't like, it's deli
cate people. His idea of delicacy is
probably your idea of strength, but
you can't argue with a director
Third, learn a few of the tricks
that made John L. Sullivan as well
known as the King of England
don't mean you need become a prize
fighter, but accidents will happen
When your partner in adventure, a
big. husky, he-male, lets right arm
go to put you to sleep as per scene
123 of some dyspeptic senario writer's
nightmare, if you can catch it on your
forearm instead of your eye it would
help a little, wouldn't it? Also, it's
not bad idea to learn how to do a
fall safely, even if not gracefully. Tn
not Gotch or Roller, but know a
tiny little bit about wrestling.
Fourth, try to eliminate fear II
you must get hurt, dreading it won't
avoid it. Timidity-a polite name for
lack of courage-is undoubtedly one
of the greatest handicaps of the aver
age girl.
IT could carry this on down tc
tenthly and further, like the old New
England preachers, but this is enough
for one time The point is, learn tc
be self-reliant and there is no self
reliance without strength.
"And, oh, of course. there is such g
thing as the art of acting. But that
deserves a chapter for itself"
Manager Oastler has resolved ic
give a free matinee to school children
Sunday afternoon, March II. at which
time the first chapter of Pearl of the
Army will be shown.

STERN CALL ON ENGINEERS
italian Army Had to Fight Nature as
Well as the Forces to Which It
Was Opposed.

A recent message from the field
headquarters of the Italian army SAYS
that the transportation romance of this
45O-mile mountain front, set down in
cold, hard figures, reads thus: 2.44S
miles of railroad rebuilt or repaired
$50 miles of new railroad built; $50
miles of airline cables stretched for
the teleferica system; 10000 miles of
telephone wire put up; 10000 new
troop, hospital and freight buildings
erected; 200 miles of narrow gauge
railroad laid in or behind the trenches {:
10 new bridges thrown across rivers
and precipices to accommodate 2,O4O
miles of operating road.
The work is credited to 12O civil en-
gineers of the government department
of public works, aided by army en-
gineers proper; likewise by 100000
workmen and 100000 army mules,
hitched to $4,000 wagons.
The foregoing is the first official rec
ord of the exact extent of the con-
structiOn work on this front, carried
on steadily for 18 months, despite enc
my artillery, avalanches, snowfalls,
rains, floods, frost, lack of material
and all Of the other ills by which en-
gineers are beset.

DAY OF REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place of the
Anticipated Methods of Making
Changes in Government.

The machine gun and the high ex-
plosive shell have ended the days of
successful revolutions, according to
Stanley ]. Weyman, the English au-
thor of 'The House of the Wolf" "a
Gentleman of France" and "Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-
mans view no rebellion by the peO-
pie can ever hope to be successful in
the larger nations now.
Against the muskets and cannon of
old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail if fury lent
strength and numbers were sufficient.
But today, when half a dozen machine
guns, handled by twice as many ex-
perts, can NOW down hundreds in q
minute; when even a single high-ex-
ploSive shell can wreck half a village,
when everything that has to do with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them, and the airplanes that
guide them, is technical to a degree.
OF what avail are the scattered rifles
and barricades of the people, the regi-
ments hastily levied and scantily
armed? OF none. Before the muzzles
of a few machine guns the toilers of
Ghent and Liege and Antwerp, cities
famed in the past for their turbulence.
are hurried into slavery well-nigh un-
resisting.
For they know resistance to be
hopeless. And so it is, and must be.
AS long as mere handful of men
trained in the use of these engines
remains faithful, despotism may sit
secure, be the people never so impa-
tient. Only from outside, only by the
use of equal weapons, only by other
nations, can the yoke be broken and
the people be freed.''

REGULARITY OF WATER LILY
Plant Produces an oil Which Prevents
Moisture Remaining on Its
Leaves and Blossoms.

Slow-moving rivers, ponds and lakes
are the habitat Of a flower which. as
most everybody knows, is the water
lily.
Did you ever know what gave the
leaves and blossoms of the "water
nymph" their shining appearance? It
is due to an oil which prevents water
remaining on them and clogging tbe
little mouths, or stomachs. through
which the plant breathes.
The leaves are large, fiat and nearly
round. The blossoms are very SNOWY.
measuring, in our common American
species, nearly six inches across. In
color they are white, pink and yellow.
Water lilies are particular about the
weather in which they bloom. On fine
warm days the flowers open in tbe
morning and close at night, but on
dun, chilly days the flower does NOT
venture forth.
One member of the family. Victor,a
regia, which grows in South America
has leaf six to twelve feet broad
with curious rim that gives It a trav.
IKE appearance. The leaves are strong
enough to hold two men.

PoNDERoUS IN HIS SPEECH

humors of the system"
A few years before his death his
butler became insane, and had to be
sent away. When he was leaving he
begged to see the president once more,
"to ask his blessing" The president
received him in the garden, where the
man, STOPPING as if to kiss his hand,
bit a piece out Of it.

How Grass Grows.

1t may be matter of surprise that
tender young grass can ever force its
way up through hard ground. The
principle is the same as that of OPEN
ing tin Of condensed milk. The
sharp point Of the tin opener is first
inserted in the tin and when an en-
trance has been forced the blade can
follow. So it is with the grass. Each
blade has a fine point, which, by the
mysterious power of growing life,
forces its way between the particles of
soil, however tightly they may be
packed together and thus a passage Is
made for the blade to follow.
