By Harriette Underhill

On the back page of The Tribune
every morning Mr. Briggs draws a
picture Sometimes he says, "Ain't 1t
a Grand and Glorious Feeling?" and
sometimes "When a Feller Needs a
Friend" but the series we have in mind
is called "Somebody Is Always Taking
the JOY Out of Life" and we mean to
give him an idea for a picture. 1t is
to be about us rushing joyously up to
some one and saying, "I'm going to in
terview Fred Stone," and about their
reply, "I wish you luck. He Is the
most difficult person in the world to
interview" Grape hanger!
Not that any one could take the Joy
out Of life while there are motion pict-
ures and plays and dramatic and
photodramatic persons to interview
We consider our job the only one in
the world without flaw, and any one
who aspires to swat the fly won't find
any in the vicinity of our syrup.
However, it is rather grand and
glorious feeling when you meet Fred
Stone and realize that you are going
to be wonderfully entertained for an
hour. He would have talked even
longer than that, only we saw him
after the theatre, and we had supper
to eat, which a heartlcss Mayor says
must be eaten before l o'clock.
Fred Stone is like child in his en-
thusiasm for his work, past, present and
future And he calls working before
the camera this summer taking vaca-
ton!
We saw him the night before he
closed in "Jack O. Lantern"
The line which pleased us the mos
was one which Bobby speaks. Jack i:
reading to the children the tale o
Little Red Riding Hood, and he says
"And there beside her Red Ridin,
Hood saw, standing with bristling hail
and cleaning white teeth-whom dc
YOU think" Theodore ROOSEVELT!
shouts Bobby.
After we heard this we decided tha
we should not interview Stone unit
the last line had been spoken, for i
we went back between the acts w
might ruin some Of it. So we sen
back word and Mr.. Stone amiably con
sented to stay in town all night ane
be interviewed. That is how unap
proachable he is. Later he told u.
that when he received the message h

said to Allene Crater, who in private
life is Mrs. Fred Stone, 1--WE do not
take tho 1880 to Long Island to-
night"
Mr.. Stone is going to begin work
tomorrow in the Paramount studios in
Los Angeles. This will be the first
time he ever has appeared in front of
the camera. He always has appeared
behind it, for in all Of his hunting
tours in Yellowstone Park and the
Grand Canyon and the Rocky Noun
tains he has taken motion pictures of
the lions and tigers and bears which
he trapped. Rex Beach does the same
thing. So does Bob Baker.
"Well." said Stone, "I'm looking for
ward to this vacation as I never have
before" He looked so funny as he
said it, for he was sitting on a table
swinging his feet and he had the
makeup of "Charlotte Russo, the
greatest female skater in the world"
left on his two extremities, viz, his
feet and his head. He still wore the
wig and the white satin shoes. The
rest Of him was wrapped in a blue
bathrobe. "That new ice they have
out there is frozen differently" he
said, land it's so hard to skate on.
Hard to fall on, too, I learned to
skate just for this production. Hired
an expert and said, Now show me some
effective figures and I'll do them
did, too, although I'll warrant you

Mr.. GLAND has a wonderful sense of
humor and he thinks it is very funny
comparing these literary gems and their
returns with the popular plays which
he has done.
AS a matter of fact we are glad that
MI. GLAND has decided to amass some
OF this worlds goods by appearing in
the movies, although we shouldn't be
surprised any day to hear that he had
lett the screen and was going to a
Theatre Intime" devoted to the ex-
ploitation Of Johann Sigurj
plays. However, at present, he isn't
doing anything like it at ALL He has
just finished World drama called
The Mandarin's Gold" Mr.. GLAND has
played villains Of all nationalities, but
this is his first Chinese.
Il enjoyed it, too," he said VIXEN we
asked him how he liked living on rice
and eating with chopsticks, fguratively
speaking. "Those old mandarins had
the right idea about comfort in dress
and coitfeur." We were so elated at
being back on our own ground that
we nearly asked him if he didn't miss
his queue, but we remembered what
Sollta Solano said to US about puns
and desisted. We were afraid that
Mr.. and Mrs. GLAND shared her aversion
as they share her admiration for Ib-
sen and Sigurj
Oscar APPEL. who directed "The Man
darin's Cold" told us that Mr.. Glands
Chlnaman was the most remarkable
portrayal of a Celestial that he eve,
had seen and he offered in support of
this statement the fact that when Mrs
GLAND came over to the studio to see
her husband she passed him by and
didn't know him. This Mrs. GLAND
says is quite true, adding, "You know
my husband Is really very handsome
and l couldn't believe that he could
look so ugly" H.U.

Oisne and Aisne to supply the re- turning refugees with food, clothing and household utensils. Demands come for coffee mills, scrubbing brushes, pails, knives, forks, spoons and pots for the people taking up housekeeping again as literally all that they left behind them when they fled has been destroyed or carried away to Germany
 To Amiens the refugees arc just beginning to return but they will come in large number, ana they will find the Red Cross ready to re- ceiye them. There is a big building ill Amiens that was a boys school in those half-forgotten days when the city was not under shell fire. It belongs to the Red Cross now. and it's class rooms are turned to strange uses. There is big "salle de recep- titon," where the returning refu- gees are sorted out and their needs ascertained. There is a canteen that serves two hot, nOurishing meals a day. There is long dormitory with beds for the weary ones who come back to find empty rooms and roof less houses. There arc two dispen- saries. and dispensary doctors fini much to do in country where people live precarious, hand-to-mouth exist enceS.
 The Red Cross workers furnish clothing to the shiyering shabby pe2- pie, warm flannel shirts aud unuer- wear, stockings and shoes and sab cts. Twelve thousand garments went out from Paris ill single nay. And they furnish work for people. who must have little money if they are to live.
 They have an extraordinary way, those Picardy peasants, of accepting facts. They go back to live under impossible conditions as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It never occurs to them D do any hing else. There may be only one wall of house left hut it is home "There are few ways in which Alp erican resource and energy can be better employed than in strensthen- ing a philosophy and courage like that" says on Red Cross wocller."

FRENCH PEASANTS
 RETURNING ID HOMES
Battered Dwelling Is All
 That's Left.

Paris, Nov. II Correspondence of The Associated Press. ss.)-Carrying their little bundles of household possessions. the French refugees are returning to their homes in Chateau Thierry and the little French villages around it to VauX, Lucy, Belleau and can history.
 They are coming back to ruins of villages and houses demolished by German or American artillery, to live ill cellars and in the shelter of tot tering wall until they can rebuild their homes and their return is a pitiful spectacle. :?
 Sometimes they find no home at all. Never do they find any furniture, Often they find no food and then the American Red Cross steps ill and helps them. The woman who can dig out her stove from a heap of dirt and plaster and patch it up aagin so that it will burn counts herself inordin- ately lucky. Forks are worth their weight in gold, and a feather bed IS five hundred blankets the Red Cross shipped out to returning refugees i'll a single week.
 Tn people in the Aisnc will not be able to spend the winter in their own villages. The villages on the banks of the little Marne are too utterly battered by shells to afford human habitations during the winter wealth CT How, while days are warm and skies are blue, their owners can find some tiny corner or other to live in, at the rain and mud and chilly danny of q French winter will drive them, or if it doe not a paternal gov ernment will send them, back to their temporary homes in the uninvaded provinces to wait for spring.
 One purpose is sending them home so quickly was to have the wheat crops but there was no food, so the Red Cross established canteens in many villages and served two meals a day free to those too poor to pay while others paid small sums. Forty carloads of food were sent to the Marne and the Aisne ill single month. A grocery store has been opened ill Chateau Thierry which aI- ready is busy town aagin, though the walls of it's houses have been shattered and torn by shells. To keep intruders out the residents scrawl on their homes in chalk Proprietor returned" or House occupied"

HREE MILLION JARS SHIPPED DURING
 OCTOBER

On Monday, October G1. we address scd an advertisement to the wholesdle and retail drug trade, advising that we were badly oversOlG; due to the influenza epidemic, stating tnat all dealers and quantity shipments were postponed, and requesting that Va poRub be purchased in small lots only. This condition still prevails.
 At this writing we nave back Or ders for eighteen thousand (1S ,000) gross and Oud orders each day are double our daily output. The epide- mic, however, is decreasing in most sections, the demand is slackening and we are working night and day to catch up. In the meantime, we ask the trade to be patient with us.
 ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE
 WIPED OUT EXCESS SiOGkS
 On October 1St we had on hand at the factory and in twenty warehous- es over the country a tremendous stock of VapoRub accumulated during the summer months. This is now gOne-We actually shipped during the month of October over three millions jars of VapoRub. We arc speeding up our factory as much as possible and the problem now is to distribute the factory's output as quickly as possible. We have, therefore, for the time being, abandoned freight ship ments and are shipping either by Parcel Post or eXpress-tnying to give each jobber at least little stock
 IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO DRUG GISTS IN INFLUENZA DISTRICTS.
 Preference is being given to those sections stricken by influenza. In order to reach these sections as quickly as can be, We are, during this emergency, making shipments by Parcel Post, direct to the retail trade, of not more than three (3) dozen BOG size in any one shipment. We prefer that the jobbers order these shipments for their trade, but to save time we will. if the need is UT gent, ship direct on receipts of check or money order Naturally, no new accounts can be opened during this rush.

 now TO USE VAPORUB IN TREAT
 ING SPANISH INFLUENZA.
 In every case call a physician VapoRub should be used only in con- nection with the physicians internal treatment.
 Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry lightly and rub VapoRub we'll in until the skin is red-syread on thickly and cover with hot flannel cloths. Leave the bed-covering loose around the neck, as the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the influenza germs. case of head or influenza, the vapors tend to keep the air passages open, loosen the phlegm ana make the breathing easi- CT. In addition, VapoRub is absorb ed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids ill relieving the con- geStiOn within.
 HOW TO USE vICk'S VAPORUB AS A PREVENTIVE.
 1t is questionable if there is any thing which will prevent Spanish h. fluenza, except avoiding those per- sons who are spreading the disease by coughing, sneezing and splitting, and by keeping up the bodily resis- ance by plenty of good food and exer- else in the open air. The Public Health Service recommends that the nasal passages be coated with a weak solution of .MenthOl in liquid petroleum as protective. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent. Just put small portion up each nostril from time to time during the day and snuff well back into the head. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY IN.
 RAILING VAPORUB.
 Colds iritate the lining of the air passages and thus render them d much better breeding place for the germs. At the first signs of a cold use VapoRub at once. Melt a. little in a spoon and inhale the vapors ari- sing, or VapoRub can be used in a regular benzoin steam kettle, such as most druggists carry in stock. If this is not available, a very good Substitute to use in an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half-full of boiling Wa ter-put in half a teaspoon of Vapo- Rub from time to time-keep the ket- tie just slowly boiling and lnhale the steam arising.

Price
 Is Going Back
 To Low Levels
Complete Prohibition With Few Months Left Cadses
 Sharp Decline.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 2.-After eighteen months of extreme uncer- tainty in the whiskey market, the price of bonded goods today in Ken lucky, the largest straight whiskey producing state in America. 95 cents : to $1.15 a gallon.
 The imminence of complete prohibi- tion, coupled with the belief that high CT taxes may cause a marked decrease in consumption, is expected by large operators to keep prices at low lev el. A few dealers, however, believe the approach of prohibition will stim- ulate demand and bring high prices
 The sudden, sweeping market changes have kept operators in tur- moil. A year and half ago many of them would have been bankrupt had they been forced to liquidate their holdings. Then prices rose and on paper some of the holders were mil lionaires.
 The order stopping production for beverabe purposes sent prices upward until newest whistles approached $3 a gallon in bond. Owners counted gains in big figures, and many held on for highed prices The cautious ones unloaded at the peak, however.
 Then came the certainty of prohibi- tion for the duration of the war and that greatly increased taxes must be paid. Prices crashed and brought the low levels of today
 There are between thirty and forty millions of gallons of whiskey avail able for sale today on which the tax has been paid. The prestnt tax on whiskey is $3.20 a proof gallon. Deal- CTS said the yeXpected the new $S,- 000.000.000 revenue bill to provide tax of at least double and probable treble the present rate.

lREAI LAKES IS T ::' REBUILDING: j! l! A! NY. ,. LITTLE CRUISERS p,ant In Peace Times Max ing Pleasure Graft Is Now Building For
 The War.

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 2.-Subma- r;ne chasers. fast scout cruisers, small harbor I steam tugs and earo propellors ore o,, being turned out by the Great f fakes Boat Building Corporation, which in peace times made small yes sois of the pleasure and speed types. :. 7 Milwaukee's contribution to Ameri- ca's shipbuilding program has been largely in the reconstruction of yes sels I and production of espcialied parts. nI this the Milwaukee Dry Docks Company has figured largely.
 Government vessels of a larger tyne are to be turned out by the Fabricated Steel Ship Corporation, newly organized concern. The Great Lakes Corporation has been specializ- ;np on wooden craft up to 150 feet overall. War orders have increased fine industry to include aero propell- ors, the plant being one of the two large makers in the west. Besides turning out small number of subma- 1rine chasers, the plant has built two steam harbor tugs and has converted several pleasure yachts into high po- wered express cruisers and patrol boats for coast service.
 This plant claims to have introduced the process of building wooden yes sells with air power. All calking, drill ing, blaming and driving of bolts is now done by compressed air tools. The company also pioneered the "V" bottom boat which has increased the lifting power for small craft from twelve to twenty-two miles, making the round bottom obsolete for maxi mum speed purposes. The company eployes 225 mechanics.
 The Milwaukee Dry Docks company esentially is repair yards. In peace times about $50 men are em- ployed and in war time about 800. Large vessels are contracted for lake and ocean traffic. The company has been handling steel ships and prepar- ing them for halving to go thdough the Welland canal.
