Heart Beats
BY A. K.

Ny rendezvous
With Fame is broken
He's a trickster
And a cheat
Although he calls
And pleads with me
l merely laugh.
Unruly Jumps
Crowd hard
Against my throat
But self-control
Grows stronger
As | choke them back.
Once
Long ago
We planned a meeting
At the gay footlights
When l should make
The world pay homage
To my temperament
My art.
But Fame forgot
Our rendezvous
So the world applauded
Meekly
Sighed and yawned
And strolled away.
Again we pledged
Our true alliance
Fame to crown
My talents rare
But sly fox
He is too Elusive
Forgets his pacts-
Heeds not
My prayers.
Now when he comes
Around annoying
Tempting me
By fraud and bats
| know too we'll
Although my heart
Goes pitty-patting
,And l long
To reach his heights
| merely laugh
And then remember
How he's tricked me
In the past.
Although ambition clings
Close to me
And I'm struggling
On ahead
Disappointment
Costs such heartaches
That
| make no rendezvous
With Fame.
SELAH!

Loading Device For Lewis Gun

One of the war secrets that it is now permissible to disclose has to do with an invention adopted by the war department in the latter months of the conflict, which tremendously multiplied the ef- fectiven of the famous Lewis ma chine gun. The device, described and H. lust1 ated in the Popular Mechanics Mag azine, enabled one man to attend to the loading of a score or more of these dead ly weapons, so that those assigned to these rieces could deliver practically an uninterrupted fire. The ammunition for the Lewis gun is contained in detach- , able circular magazine holding either 4l or e7 shells. This holder is caled a pan. and the new invention consists of a de- vice, to the underside of which the pan is temporarily attached for filling with shells. The loader is so designed that it can be mounted on the edge of a box, held in the lap. or used while one lies prone cn the ground out of view of the enemy.
 When the boxes of cartridges are to be emptied a box is held in a vertical posi- tion, and with two downward strokes of the hanu the shells are transferred to the vertical grooves. or holder, extending up- ward from the revolving loading wheel above the pan. When emergency, or other circumstances, makes 1t necessary to take shells from filled "clips," the latter are dropped into the vertical grooves and, by operating pair of triggers with the thumb and finger, the clip is elected

In the war region you see crowds of Ger man prisoners filling up shell holes and trenches. but as in this section the houses are destroyed, great tracts of land are not being farmed this year. The popu- lation has not returned. Even in Luxem- burg food and animals are scarce. because everything has been sold to the Germans at fancy prices Germany is hungry.

"AFALLEN IDOL IS
 ALCAzAR PICTURE
Evelyn Nesbitt, Star of the Film, Takes Role of
 Hawaiian

"A Fallen Idol" the new picture to l be shown at the A1cazar all next week
 is reputed to be one of the best screen offerings of the year. The leading role is taken by Evelyn Nesbitt. 1 The theme of the play is that of Orien- tai versus Occidental. The old tradition
 is smashed when they meet and marry" The young princess becomes the protege of a wealthy society leader of Santa Barbara. Sponsored by her, she makes
 a decided hit. Through her colorful per sonality and Hawaiian charms Among
 those smitten is Keith Parrish, nephew
 of the society woman who has taken the young princess in tow. Despite the
 blood barrier of east and west they fall
 desperately in love with each other. How ever, the thought of having the old tra- dition broken by their marriage in her home is not appealing to Mrs. Parrish and she warns Laone that she must not entertain any serious thoughts of marry ing her nephew.
 Laone sets about to discourage Keith in his affections and when he absents himself for a few days she returns to Hawaii on the yacht of a social parasite and srhuggler by the name of Brainard- who seeks to marry her himself. Brain ard presses the fact that Keith will not marry her because of her Oriental ex- tra ction. He proposes and threatens that unless she agrees he will turn her over to the crew of the yacht. Though her heart is strained to the breaking point she chooses the lesser of the two evils and consents.
 Keith, in the meantime. has returned and found his promised wife gone. He follows her and when he finds her she repulses him, partly because she has been
 made to believe by Brainard that east and west cannot mix, and partly because of the incident on the yacht While in Hawaii Keith is arrested for the theft of a valuable necklace Though prtend- ing to repulse him Laone still loves him and she resolves to save him, knowing that Brainard is the guilty party. She boards his yacht to secure papers that will indict the smugger and free her betrothed. Keith is released on bail and follows her to the yacht where des- perate fight takes place, in which the lovers are victorS.

Just thinkl Not one bit of pain before applying freezone or afterwards It doesn't even irritate the surround ing skin.
 Hard corns, sofa corns, or corns between the toes, also hardened calluses on bottom of feet shrivel up and fall of without hurting a particle. Ladies! Keep freezone handy on your dresser. Wonderful!

Youths Supreme Sincerity.

Children and fools tell the truth,
and few of us can comfortably en-
dure the candid eyes Of childhood,
fixed upon us in amazed surprise at
our social insiucerities. 1t was a
child and not courtier who saw
that the king, strutting amid his court
In the garments made by the wicked
magician, had nothing on. Our chill
dren, beholding us In our undraped
moral ugliness, speak out as is the
witless way Of their world. Luckily
children forgive us our sins Of misun-
derstanding, forgive us even our inept
attempts to understand them by med
dlesome supervision and vain cate
chising. We know in our truest mo-
fnents that we can hardly show the
best that is in us to anyone else, be-
cause 1t is too precious for display,
just as we have a sure test for our
best deeds in that we give ourselves
no credit for them, seek no reward Of
public fame or Mr.. Carnegie's hero
fund. Yet we expect our children to
wear their hearts upon their sleeves.
Lear's dumb Cordelia remains for all
time the type of youths sacred and
silent sincerity.-Exchange
