HOW STORIES
GET STARTED
Horrible Conditions at Brest are Told
When Soldiers Reach Home
with Second Hand In
formation.
by Fred S. Ferguson, United Press
Staff Correspondent

PARIS, March 1O.-(by mail)-
Judging from reports drifting back to
Europe, America is now getting all
the thrills of the old "blood-curdling"
stories that have been drifting around
France for monhs-and some Of them
for years-through returning soldiers.
They are the product of one Of the
greatest factories the world ever
saw-the allied armies.
The stories of the ''horrible" con-
ditions at Brest. and of many men dy-
ing there, are probably traceable to
this curious feature Of army life. Most
of the stories which were so glibly
spun to New York reporters probably
originated on the boats en- route to
America One man heard another
tell someone of what someone else
had told him, and by the time the
boat locked everyone on board was
probably convinced that men were
dying like flies" at Brest
The record Of the Brest camp, as de-
scribed by United Press correspond
end recently, after visiting Brest, dis
proved some of the stories. But "hor-
ror" stories will continue to reach
America. The best off-hand explain
alton is probably found in the lack
of communication for individuals in
the army.
AS an example, imagine what would
happen in your town if there were no
newspapers; if conditions OF threat
ening death constantly prevailed; IL
there was a big fire, or an explosion
every night; If you had no responsi-
bility other than that Of doing some
particular job assigned to you, while
someone else saw that you were fed
and had place to sleep There be-
ing no newspapers. the only way you
would have Of learning what happen
ed at these fires and explosions would
be through what someone told you.
BY reason of the conditions under
which the private soldier lives and
fights, he is the most unreliable au-
thority to be found when it comes TO
learning what happened kumors
fly so thick and SO fast that a ma
jority of the enlisted men apparently
soon become confused in what they
saw and did. OF the hundreds of sol
diers have talked with very few
have had anything to say of what they

Lovely White Skin!
Strain lemon juice wei; before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

BY all means, girls, prepare a
IDLE and young looking. You will
soon realize that true loneliness does
not mean the powdery-look or waxen
colorlessness of some dollhouse
flower, but Is typified by the velvety
softness of your skin, your peach-like
complexion and rosy-white hands.
At the cost of small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing three ounces Of
lorchard white. Care should be taken
Ito strain the juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
lis used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan, and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make UP quarter pint-of this sweet
lily fragrant lotion and massage 1t
/ daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t should naturally help to
the roses and hidden beauty of any
skin. 1t is simply marvellous to
smoother rough, red hands.

THEATERS.
The Gladness of PoiIyanna.


S"Pollyanna," a comedy, based upon
Eleanor H. Porters popular glad
books, will be presented at the Grand
Tuesday night Over half million
copies of the "Pollyanna" books have
been sold, and as publishers estimate
that every book reaches ten people,
grand total of something like five
million readers, all around the globe,
is the result OF course, it inevitably
followed that the glad-girl, and those
whom she taught to play the game,
must be visualized on the stage. Mrs
Cushing, who wrote the play, is cred
tied with having very skilfully pre-
served the amusing and sentimental
incidents, and CHEEKY optimistic spirit
of the stories. There is shown the
evolution of Pollyanna from her
checked gingham stage into a radi-
ant, highly cultivated maid Of seven
teen in chiffon. Familiar figures of
Mrs. Porter's fiction are visualized in
the comedy by players Of distin-
guished past performance.
The comedy, like the stories upon
which it is based. reflects exuberant
optimism at an opportune time when
playgoers are in no mood for NOR
bidity or salaciousness in the theatre
The appeal is to youth and old age.

EMPLOYERS INTERESTED

Keokuk employers are concerned
in every movement changing the
status Of child labor, and all Iowa
employers are much at sea as to just
where they are at under recent SUI
preme court constructions Of the
Iowa statute.
The legislature has just changed
the law again by amending it through
hill introduced by Weaver, Of Polk
county, which has passed both houses
and gone to the governor. The SEN
ate passed it by unanimous vote.
Representative Weaver's bill
amends the present law in that 1T
cuts the day for child workers from
ten to eight hours, and in commu-
mites where there are part time
schools does not permit of more
than forty hours week being put
in at any labor by children under
sixteen years Of age. Formerly the
law allowed forty-eight hours weekly.

The collection is being made this

country, but the Keokuk chapter had
permission from Red Cross headquar-
tiers to hold the drive two weeks later.
The block system Of canvas will be
used with the Junior Red Cross, un-
der the supervision of Supt. William
Aldrich, doing the collecting.
Everyone is asked by the Red
Cross chapter, to save up clothing
and not give it away before that time.

share to supply the need" said a Red

Another unusual thing in this con-
nection is how quickly a soldier picks
up old time-worn fiction phrases when
he gets in the zone of action at the
front. For the past four years
America has been fed on the greatest
line of bunk and hog-wash in the way
of war fiction that the world has ever
seen. It may then be assumed, that
under the strained conditions under
which the new soldier found himself
living, his mind turned to the fiction
phrases he had learned as a civilian.
There are thousands of exceptions to
this, of course. but in talking with
soldiers you were likely to hear as
