Movie Actress Takes All
Night Walks In Woods;
Communes With Elves.

Louise Fazenda has just finished
one of her wild-woman walking
trips. Louise insists that in an
other incarnation, she was a big
gray timber wolf. Every once in a
while, when the moon is full, or
isn't full-anyhow, once in a while,
Louise harkens to the call of the
wild and goes out for an all night
walk through the mountain canyons
near Los Angeles. She says the
brooks are full of elves who sing
to her, and that all the little wild
people of the woods-the coyotes
and the red foxes and the night
owls-prowl around, too. One
night she took two Of the lovely
girls who appear in the Paramount
Sennett comedies with her to hear
the night noises of the wilderness.
They came back carrying the never
again sign. They said they heard
rats and rushed for a vacant rangers
cabin for moral support and spent
the night sitting on the departed
rangers kitchen table with their
skirts tucked up around them.

Heart Beats

Rain drops from heavenl
Are the angels
Weeping
For our sin-filled world?
How we welcomed
Little rain drops
Dancing on the pavement
Hiding in the grass
Washing baby pansy faces
Giving the green trees
A bath.
But the sky
Continued weeping
A bad omen?
Lightning flashed,
And ripped wide open
Great dark clouds
Like Allah's wrath.
Down the rain came
In wild torrents
Thunder's deafening
Crashes screamed
Then rumbled
On to meet the next
Mad stabbing streak.
Turn the faucet off
In Heaven"
Someone gloomily remarked
"Is the washer worn
Or something?
Is heavens plumber
On = striker"
Turn the tears off
Stop this sobbing
We've engagements
For tonight.
But despite the
Jest and joking
Clouds were ripped
And torn tc bits
Until the world
Was drenched and dripping
We were begging
Tie down-pour
To cease.
Mercy!
We prayed in supplication.
Good Allah heard
Our call
Then he gave two days Of
Sunshine
But the nights
Brought on more rain.
Out of evil
Good must come
And after dark
There must be sun
All this weeping
OF the heavens
Finally made US
See the light
And we realized
That sleeping
Is the thing to do
At night. ' 5 "

Starting March IL, the cen-
trail division held three days in
stitute here for instructors and dele
gates from all over the state, with
the object of organizing classes from
the different communities, to take up
Red Cross courses in elementary
hygiene and home care of the sick.
Until the Red Cross found the ne
cessity of teaching public health to
the nation, there was no way of OBJ
tanning this instruction except by
taking three-year course in some
institution. Now it is in the reach
of all those who care to accept it.
The instruction is given by COM
petentI Red Cross nurse at the very
nominal cost of $l.50 for the course
of IS lessons, which also includes
the text book which each student
is required to have, both for in
struction and examination. At the
end of the course all those who
have attended at least II of the IS
lessons are given the examination
and those who attain final aver
age Of not less than IS per cent will
be presented with certificate. The
Red Cross has not only requested
but urged that this training be
part of every woman's education.
Under the very efficient chairman
ship of Mrs. w. E. Bolin, 1877 stu
dents have been enrolled. Four
classes in home nursing are now
taking their examinations, and will
receive certificates by June IS. New
among them two night classes; one
from among the girls and women
of the .Brandeis stores and another
from the Burgess-Nash Co. As one
class is finished others will be

Facts Of Dentistry.

The first American dentist to prac-
tice that profession exclusively was
probably a Doctor Jones, who opened
the pioneer dental Office In New York
131 years ago, according to a notice
appearing In the newspapers of that
period.
1t is only within the last half century
that dental surgery has become a real
science. Before that time physicians
were called on to pull aching molars.
and at an earlier period BARRIERS were
usually dentists. The elaborate dental
work Of today is a development of the
last quarter of a century.
Odontology, the science of the teeth,
may be said to have commenced with
the researches of Prof. Richard Owen,
who in 1889 made the first definite an
nouncement of the organic connection
between the vascular apd the hard sub
stance of the tooth.

LEECH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Those Familiar With Small Creatures
Habits Can Foretell Changes
That Are at Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can hes
made by placing a leech in a glass JAZZ
of water.
If the weather is to continue fine
the leech lies motionless at the bot.
tom of the jar, and rolled together In,
a spiral form. If it Is to rain, either
before or after noon, it will be found
to have crept up to the top of its lodg-
ing, where it will remain till tho
weather is settled.
If we are to have wind, the poor
prisoner gallops through his limpidi
habitation with amazing swiftness,
and seldom rests till 1t begins to blow
hard.
If a remarkable storm of thunder
and rain is to succeed, the leech, for
some days before, lodges almost c0n-
tinually without water, and gives itself
up to violent throes and con~vulsive-like-
motions. In frost, as in clear summer"
weather, it lies constantly at the bot.
tom and in snow. as in rainy weather..
it pitches its dwelling on the very
mouth of the jar.

a discussion. Meanwhile Aunty Kate

rather late in the evening Of the second

utterly worn out by her constant rail-
Ing against fate, the nurse took the
chance to slip out TO the beach for q
breath of fresh air.
The rain had almost ceased. Miss
Forbes stood In the darkness watch

out of the night and stood beside her.
Even In the starless night she knew
him.
''This makes twice you have ap.

The blind man started at the sound
Of q voice so near him and put out
his hand ~,nstinctively In the direc.

girls shoulder and he kept Ii there
