Annette Kellermann
Filme.PretentiOuS

In one of the most pretentious
fllm dramas ever presented in
Pittsburgh, Annette Kellerman
sea nymph, appeared at the Pitt
Theater in the opening perform
ance of "TheY Daughter of the
Gods" film spectacle worthy of
superlatives. The movie swept the
audience byS its fsheer bigness,
while the tale itself is one of the
most fancifully told chronicles that
has ever appeared on the screen.
Miss Kellermann was present in
personand spoke from the stage.
1t was the first time she had seen
the completed film drama. "A
Daughter of the Gods" is fairy
tale, wistful and fantastic, with
moments of dramatic suspense
when Miss Kellermanne enters upon
a series of water adventures as a
mermaid The tale deals with
the love of the mermaid for the
son of a Sultan and their final un-
ion in fairyland.
Part of the film is symbolic, and
the charm of the story is delicately
blended with the charm of the
summer land of the island of
Jamaica. where the film was made.
Surprises there are plenty for
movie FANS" and the film is well
worth seeing.

CITY Council Holds
Only Brief Session

There was not much business to
come before the city council at
their first meeting of the new year.
City Attorney J. W. B. Smith,
who has returned from a two.
months sojourn in the south, was
present and passed around the
clear Havanas as though Christmas
was lingering overtime.
Alderman Horace Jones, who is
i'll, and Alderman Al Akins, who
is still recuperating from his re-
cent indisposition, were the only
absentees.
The council voted unanimously
to grant no free water to the
churches. 1t is said the Catholic
church is the only one that has
paid for water last year or this. 1t
is the policy of the council to play
no favorites. The ruling of the
state public utilities commission
absolutely prohibits the granting
of free water to anybody, or the
issuing Of any kind of a rebate,
and the city council has decided
to abide by that decision. Since
there is no Baptist church in Idaho
Springs their is but little water
used for church purposes, but each
church has parsonage or rectory
and it was for use in these prop
critics that free water was granted
in times past.
Times are changing. The world
do move. Prices are advancing.
Water costs money. But the air
we breath is not yet run thru
meters and charged to us as SO
much per-kilowatt.
Mayor Moscript spoke of several
violations of the ash can ordinance
and the marshal will get busy.

OFFENDING FAT AND LEAN
Tast Denies Report hs Lest Ninety
lnstsad Of Eighty Pounds While
Ho Was preeident.

The man who claims credit for re-
ducing William Howard Tafts
weight, during the four years Of his
incumbency of the White House, is
out with statement which may call
for an emphatic contradiction from
the former president, asserts the
Christian Science Monitor. Says
the trainer referred to-: "Mr. Taft
lost ninety pounds in the four years
he was president and during which
he placed himself under my con-
troll" Many people will remember
how Mr.. Taft disposed of similar
assertion soon after he left office.
Said he, In effect: "Among the mis-
representations to which l have been
subjected as that l lost ninety pounds
during the last four years This is
untrue. l lost only eighty pounds"
This brings back story of Alex
ander H. Stephens, who had been
vice president of the Southern Con-
federacy, and who, after the Civil
war, was repeatedly elected to con-
yress from Georgia. He was an ex-
,eedingly thin man, and, one day,
here fell under his observation a
newspaper item saying that he
weighed ninety pounds. In reply to
his he wrote letter to the editor
If the offending journal demanding
IN immediate retraction. 81 will
aot be slandered in this MANNER" he
protested. "My weight is "a pounds"
The former vice president was him.
self an editor, with habit of writ
ing very long articles for his paper
IN Georgia, and the contemporary
which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight re-
fused to retract it for the reason, it
said, that "Mr. STEPHENS must have
had one of his editorials in his
pocket when he last tried the scales.
This would account for the differ
snce of four pounds between the two
figures."

The Mistakes In Life

Judge Mccormick says these are
the 13 mistakes of life:
l. To attempt to set up your
own standard of right and wrong.
2. To try to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own.
3. To expect uniformity of
opinions in this world.
4. To endeavor to mold all
dispositions alike.
6. Not to yield unimportant
trifles.
Z. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
s. To worry ourselves and
others about what cannot be rem
edied.
8. Not to b elp everybody
wherever. however, and whenever
we can.
10. To consider anything i'm
possible that we cannot ourselves
perform.
II. To believe only what our
finite minds can grasp.
II. Not to make allowance for
the weaknesses of others.
IL. To estimate by some out
side quality when it is that within
which makes the man.

consider our recommendations as pre-
scented nalow:
ist. That the new roadbed have a
uniform width Of 100 feet
2nd. That provision be made for
continuous sidewalks on either side OF
this widened thorouchfare even though
they be not laid at this time.
IN support Of the above recon-
mendations we wRld state
list. We are convinced that TO mere
ly rebuild the present highway would
be a great mistake for the reason that
traffic over this road, which is the
main highway between Philadelphia
and Washington, is rapidly increasing.
it being traversed not only by pleasure
vehicles but daily TO q greater extent
by heavy trucks carrying commodities
and materials Of all descriptions. and
we are satisfied it is a question Of but
a short time ere it will be necessary to
widen this road to accommodate this
increasing traflic.
"2nd Further than this with an i'm
proved highway, suburban develop
ment is bound to progress very rapidly
indeed. Even now new sections are
planned at various points along the
pike which will be given wonderful
impetus upon the completion Of the
proposed improved thoroughfare. This
suburban development will also be re-
flected in a greatly increased trafllc.
and it is largely for this reason that
we believe the consideration OF q wider
roadbod is imperative
''3rd The construction Of this wider
roadbed can be accomplished at this
time at a cost which will be insig-
nificant as compared with whatlit will
cost when necessity compels its widen
ing fo~ the reason that today to carry
out this plan it will be necessary to
remoye very few properties, whereas,
when the new sections have sprung up
and development has become continue
Gus, it can be readily seen that the cost
to accomnl'sh this improvement will
be excessive.
"ith. Most important OF all Il Is es-
sential that human life be safeguard
ed; today pedestrians must use the
roadbed at their own peril. as it is i'm
possible TO walk on either side Of the
road due to the unimproved cutters.
Pedestrian traffic is increasing. and at
the Penny Hill. Hollyoak and Ciaymont
sections, which are already thickly
populated, the pedestrian traffic is in
evidence. and during the hours when
shifts are being changed at the great
industries north OF Claymont. and em-
/ ployes are walking to and from the
home sections now building at and
near Claymont, an automobile Oper-
ator must exercise the utmost caution
in order to prevent striking pedestrians
and mainly for this reason we recon-
mend that the pike be widened and
that walks be provided
