Many seasons We're spent in vaude-
vile by Mr. Drew before he drifted into
motion pictures. His entrance into
this field marked new era in screen
comedies. He showed that it was pos
sible to arouse laughter without re-
sorting to slapstick methods or impos-
sblc situations.

hitherto had refrained from that kind
of amusement.
The versatile actor appeared in his
film successes with his wife, who was
known on the screen as Jane Morrow.

the late Mckee Rankin, died in 1914.
He married Miss Morrow. whose real
name was Lucille McNey, two years
later.
Mr.. Drew's last picture was called
''The Amateur Liar" and is being pre-
sented here this week. One of his great
est successes in the picture line was
Once a Mason which was one of
the latest releases.
His most artistic work on the legiti

Lumpkin. in an all star revival Of ''Shc
Stoops to Conquer.

French Ask That League
Adopt Their Language

Paris. April 9.-(By A. L. THE
French Society for the Promotion of
League of Nations has adopted, on
motion of Professor Aulard, of the
University of Paris, an eminent au-
thority on history, n resolution ask
ing the Peace Conference to adopt
French as the official language Of
the league of nations. The society
is also promoting n movement in
favor of Paris as the scat Of the
league of nations.
This organization is entirely un-
official, and the French government
will take no steps to assist the
movement relative to the capital Of
the league.
The foreign office officials who will
speak on the subject say that France
would be proud if n location in this
country might be chosen. but that no
formal steps will be taken TO that
end.

Berlin, Tuesday, April S.-(By A.
Pat this mornings session of the
soviet congress Independent Socialists
presented two resolutions extending
greetings to the Bavarian and the Hun

wished the congress to express the. hope
that the Bavarian prolctariat might
overcome opposition and that the rest
of Germany might follow its example.
The motion was postponed after un-

The greeting to Hungary was ac-

predictions.

cause some one else has one like it
which has been admired. They do
not stop to study their own complex
ion. their eyes or hair or any Of their
personal characteristics, but, instead,
put on whatever they consider the
mode.
That is one reason we see SO many
very freakish looking girls on the
streets-girls who are over-dressed
and who suggest anything but the
real charm of girlhood-youth.
Life has a way of ageing people
whether we wish it so or not. and there
are not very many years given to any
of us to be young in. So it is very
much better TO make the most of our
youth while we have it and to be fresh
and sweet and dainty and girlish, in
stead of trying to see how old we can
look and how much we can overload
ourselves with finery more suited
to matronly women.
The smartest women are today
dressing in the simplest fashion This
is not only on account of the war, but
it is also because the women of this
country are coming TO realize that
clothes must express personality, and
they DO rot wish to be classed as
women who are loud in their tastes
and given to magnificence of dress on
the street.
The girl who keeps herself young as
long as she can. who is dainty about
her person and wears simple things.
will fin that her charm will be
much greater than the girl who starts
in at an early age to copy some act
ress or other woman OF mature years,
who would give all of her aids to
beauty for just one-haif OF young
girls charm.

MAKING THE MOST OF
ONES GOOD POINTS

A woman who conducted a depart
ment for girls once said that half OF
the letters which she received began
with description of the writer, and
embodied somewhere in the letter
were these words:-"How can I be
pretty"
This woman thought these letters
were very foolish, and yet she did not
laugh at them. She said that it was
such natural thing for girl to wish
TO be pretty that she did not think it
was worth while to try to prevent the
question. 1t is just as natural for
a girl TO wish to be pretty as it is
for rose to blossom in the sunshine.
But the strange thing is that while
this so, there are very few girls who
really make the most of themselves
VI NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL?
One sees many girls on the streets
