HELEN's NINE CHANCES.

Not that she's a cat. Not by any
means, but Helen Gibson, firmly be-
lieves that she has the cats allotted
number of lives. And still more start
ling she has used up eight of the nine
chances. There is some excitement
in playing the game so near the dealer
as that, especially when the dealer is
Death.
And yet this daring girl does not
abate for an instant her zeal in the
saddle CT in her railroad film work.
A year ago her popularity was at its
height. Then the Universal company,
which had been releasing her in two
reelers, suddenly stopped producing
short features until the demand for
them should force up the price they
brought in the film market. For a
year the daredevil ate out her heart In
patience. Now she is to have chance
again. I have seen the first two OF
her new western dramas and they are
thrill personified. The first Is called
PLAY Straight or Fight" and contains
the most exciting stage coach dash
down a mountain side ever staged,
with Helen holding the ribbons. l

The second is a railroad drama called
'"The Midnight Filler"
Miss Gibson has had varied and
interesting career, and one very little
calculated, it would seem. to prepare
one for motion picture work. After
graduating from the central high
school in Cleveland, O., where she was
born, she obtained permission from
her parents to go to Bliss, Okla, where
Miller Bros 1O1 ranch was located
during the off season. She had spent
several vacations with friends on a
|neighboring ranch and had learned to
ride and enjoy riding in that way.
While at Bliss Miller Brothers got
ready for their road show, and remark
ing her proficiency in the saddle, ask
ed If she wouldn't like to join out
with them. Without asking for pa
rental authority, she jumped at the
chance, and signed up for the entire
season, travelling through every state
in the county. When the season clos

Chairman Sims On
Gov. Control of R. r.

Speaking Of government control
and possible government ownership
of the railroads, Chairman Sims
of the house interstate COM
merce committee said last Saturday
that such proposal is already be-
fore his committee. Checkmating
it is a demand that the government
give the owners now an assurance
that congress will return the roads
when the war Is over.
1T is evident" said Mr.. Sims,
that the whole question Of govern
ment ownership will be debated and
its strength in congress thoroughly
tested in the debates. The present
provision that government control
must continue until congress pro-
vides otherwise is my idea Of the
ideal settlement Of the question.
After the government has operated,
the roads a year or so the people
will really know whether they want
government ownership"

The main thing in filling business
and judicial Offices Is for the people
to force the parties to nominate
none but men fit to fill the offices
to which they aspire. When a
man is nominated for an Office and
Is palpably unfit to fill it, the loyal
sensible voters Of the county and
country ought to rise up and defeat
him by electing some man whose
reputation assures his honesty and
bcsiness efficiency. Regardless Of
party, it is mighty poor specimen
of citizen who casts his vote for
any man, nominee or not. who is
known to be unable from any
standpoint to make good and
faithful public yservant. The citi-
gen who votes for a candidate just
because he bears his particular
political brand Is about on par with
church member who never dark
ems the door of his house of wor-
ship and never pays a cent to its
support,
