Big Double Bill

At The EIIaney

The Inferior Sex" featuring Nil
dred Harris Chaplin in the role OF
an adorable but overly affectionate
wife. is the chief attraction at the
Ellanay this week, and Larry Semon
in The Fly Cop is the comedy that
brings one laugh after the other from
the audience.
Mildred Harris Chaplin does splen-
dldly as a typical clinginE-vine type
OF WOmanhood- She Is 50 affection-
ate and concerned about her husband
that the spectators actually feel sorry
Ior him For instance the young
husband Is busy presiding at an inn
portant committee meeting at his
office and his sweet little wife calls
him 70 tell him some trlling hap
penlngs IN the ouse. and before
leaving the phone insists that he
tell her for the milliOnth time that
ne loves her. Later on in the story
the vile changes her attitude and
then one feels Just as sorry for the
husband because he is so neglected
and especially good because II keeps
its interest until the very last.
The Larry Sem0n comedy is truely
the funniest comedy possible, and the
best comedy Semon has made. It's
a scream His stunts are new. He
really ought TO have them copyright

other less original comedian Is sure

HOW CentraIPark
Is To Be Acquired
For The PEOPLE

options have been obtained by the
city planning commission on nearly
all the land required for the great
proposed new Central park
This week a group Of business
men, volunteering their services for
the public good, viii endeavor to Sc
cure subscriptions TO the 800 shares
in the $4,000 development company
that viii handle the park project in
its initial stages
The plan is to buy nearly 400 acres
lying on and around the point Of the
mountain: turn over about 216 acres
TO the city for park at cost Of
$4,000 develop the remainder with
street paving and parking, water,
light. sewers. etc; sell the lots for
building sites; and turn over TO the
city for developing the Central park
any profit that may accrue in excess
Of percent annually on the initial
Investment
It viii be seen that the plan in
wolves no speculative feature and is
all for the public gain Public spir-
tied citizens cooperate in the use OF
their money and credit so as TO make
the park purchase possible. The park
site could not be bought alone; the
whole tract must be taken over. and
Il is only through the general devel-
Opment and sale OF the residence
sites that the park can be had on such

COED AND BAD MONEY.

Our Indians once used wampum or strings OF
beads, for money. Three OF the dark or SIX OF
the white beads passed Tor an English penny
The beads mad no more intrinsic value than our
paper dollar, but served very We'll as d currency
or medium of exchange. Suppose now that III
days when wampunn would buy furs OF other
values of the Indians some astute white man
had made machine that turned out Wampum
by the ton, and put it into circulation mat
would have been initiation. Hampum would
have become so plentiful that the Indians would
have raised the price of their furs immensely,
if they consented to sell them at all; and their
currency would have come IN time to be worth
no more than Russian rouble or a German
mark.
A somewhat similar condition prevails
throughout the world today. According to the
National City Bank of New York, thirty import
ant countries have worked their presses so
vigorously printing paper money that the vol
ume of it has increased from seven and one-half
billions in 1914 to fifty billions last month.
Russia is not included in this list OF countries
Nobody knows how many billion roubles she has
printed, and nobody outside of Russia cares.
The United States has added four billions, or
three hundred per cent. to its note circulation,
and while our paper is as good as gold, OF which
we have over two and one-half billions, which
is ample for our needs, our money has become
relatively more plentiful than the things 1t Will
buy, hence prices have gone up.
How we shall deflate currency and how
long it will take, nobody knows; but there Is
very general agreement among financial ex-
perts that gradual deflaton somehow achieved
j. the only procedure which viii put prices back
TO where they used to be. The difference be-
tween us and other nations is that we have too
much good money while Europe has too much
that is bad and nearly worthless when measured
in gold.

THE FAIRY FOLK.

At the very time when we are learning to de-
light in Yeats and when Dunsany is in our coun-
try telling US as much about fairies as our ma
terialistic prepossessions enable US to under
stand, an iconoclastic judge in Ireland, presid-
ing at Tipperary suit for damages, refuses, by
inference, to admit the existence of these de-
hghtful little folk, with tales of whom the Irish
sagas TEEN. This old judicial dry-as-dust does
not deny that there are those lovable little
creatures who figure so extensively In the Irish
pantheon. He does not dare to go so far as that,
but even comedies that they would probably
and properly harbor grudge against the defen-
dant who had meanly and spitefuly, to in
jure the plaintiff, cut down the bushes around a
fairy mound where they were wont to revel
Yet in fixing the loss and injury that the plain
tiff had suffered this Dogberry declined to
award him punitive damages although his tes-
timony, corroborated by other witnesses and
unrefuted, made it clear that the fairies had
habitually danced there, to his great enjoyment
until the defendants vicious destruction of
their haunt had driven them away.
Fairies are the most numerous, beautiful,
winsome and attractive creatures in the mytho-
logical literature of every land of which we
know. They belong to all countries, all peoples,
to every time and cline, to every language from
Greek to Gaelic, from Sanscrit down to the
Samoan tongue of today. Every folk has loved
them; and as dryads nereds, nymphs undines,
brownies, pixies, kabolds, genii, diins, fays,
sylphs, sprites and under countless other de-
signations, they fill a great place both in folk
lore and in literature. Scores of books have
been written about them, one of which is that
monumental work of Rev. Mr.. Kirk, of A er-
foyle, 'sThe Secret Commonwealth of Elves,
Iauns and Fairies.'' Yet this age, wise in its
own conceit scouts the very idea Of them or
thinks of them insultingly as poltergeists or
s.racketng spirits" like that cold jeffrey as
the great John Wesley named him, which for
SO many years bewildered and annoyed that IA
NOUS, godly family so much.
But if this skeptical age which thinks if
knows it all sneers at the merry, clever, kindly,
prankish loving and lovely little folk of fairy
land, at Ariel, at Queen Nab, at the midnight
revels on the mountain side that Millions tells of
and at the fairy godmother in the Cinderella
tale-if people nowadays flout all this and pre-
fer to pin their faith to poltergeists and other
ssch pokerish spooks, all that we can say is

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE

a LEGACY.
Friends of my many years.
When the great silence falls. at last on me
Let me leave, to pain and sadden thee,
A memory Of tears
But pleasant thoughts alone
OF one who thy friendships honofed guest
And drank the wine OF consolation pressed
From SORROWS OF thy own.
/ leave with thee sense
OF hands upheld and trials rendered less
The unselhsh JOY which is TO helpfulness-
Its great recompense;
The knowledge that from thine
AS from the garments of the Master. stole
Calness and strength, the virtue which makes whole
And heals without sign;
Yea, more, the assurance strong
That love, which fails of perfect utterance here,
Lives to fill the heavenly atmosphere
With its immortal song.
