The Railroad Shops Waste No Time
in Reducing Working Force

The return of the railroads to pri-

fruit in laying off men as is shown
by the following dispatches from the
south, which shows that the crafty
railroad manipulatOrs are beginning
operations where organized labor is
comparatively weak. They are too

Feature at Strand

Probably no man knows the I'M
derworid of New York nor can write
more e~ntertainingly OF 1t than Leroy
Scott. When he published MARY
Regain" 1t created a sensation, be-
cause of its vivid action and the
story 1t unfolded.
Even better than MARY Regain"
was his second book, "A Daughter of
Two Worlds" In this as in his
previous work the main characters
were of the lowest strata of society.
In neither book did he attempt any
character delineation. but let the ac-
lions of those in his book build up
and betray their characters as the
story progressed.
Action the Great Feature
Action is the only thing which-can
be shown in pictures. and for that
reason Mr.. Scott's greatest novel has
only been made more vivid by Its
transferral to the screen under the
same title as the novel. The produce
ton which will be shown by the
Strand theatre today was made by
Miss Norma Talmadge and her own
company as the first picture for dis
tribution by the First National Ex-
hibitors' Circuit. To say hat Miss
Talmadge has made a more striking
character of Jennie Malone than
even the book Is saying nothing but
what can be believed by those who
are familiar with former pictures by
this young star.

given a very different Interpretation by
Frazer from the ordinary one Jacob
bought his older brother Bsaus birthrieht
from him when the latter was famished
and much in need Of O mess of red pottage
Then, in order to clinch the bargain by
obtaining his fathers blessing, Jacob had
himself swathed In kids skins and cheated
the blind old man into thinking that no
was the hairy Esau
Most people think that Jacobs conduct
was very disreputable but Frazer explains
that there was in early times q widespread
law that the youngest son and not the
eldest should inherit legend dating
from the primitive time when this custom
prevailed was the basis of the Jacob and
Esau story, and the younger patriarch
should not be too severely criticised
The law OF inheritance by the youngest
born, called ultimogeniture, is connected
with the right OF the first night" which
prevailed extensively In the Middle Ages,
but had It's origin In tho prehistoric past.
Many readers have wondered why the
builders Of the Tower Of Babel should
have been suddenly stricken with a diver
sity OF tongues and why our different
languages should have arisen in that pc
culiar manner. Frazer explains that the
tower was really one of the great temple
towers OF Babylon, Of which two exist TO
this day in ruins.
He traces the Biblical story 10 the deep
impression Produced by the great city OF
Babylon on the simple minds OF Semitic
nomads, who. fresh from tle solitude and

silence of the desert, were bewildered by
the hubbuh OF the streets and bazaars,
dazzled by the kaleidoscope of color Ia
the bustling crowd, stunned by the din OF
voices jabbering In strange, unknown
tongues, and overawed by the height OF
the buildings: above all by the prodigious
aletude Of the temples towering up, ter
race upon terrace. till their glistening tops
Of enamelled brick seemed to touch the
sky. No wonder that dwellers in tents
should imagine that they who scaled the
pinnacle Of such a stupendous pile by the
long winding ramp and appeared at last
like moving specks on the summit must
indeed be near the gods.
Frazer holds that the mighty Samson
was really a very disreputable character
The author admits, by the way, that he
must have been a real character, for the
Bible story Is too full OF exact details about
HIS life to be fiction. II Is significant, how
ever, that there are many ancient folk
tales OF strong men who were beguiled by
sirens and lost their strength when their
hair was cut
Samson, the learned author points out
judged Israel for twenty years, but OF his
judgments not one Ia recorded. and IL the
tenor Of his pronouneements can be in.
ferred from the nature Of his acts, we
may be allowed TO doubt whether he par
ucularly adorned the bench of justice.
"His talent" says Frazer, would seem
TO have lain rather In the direction OF
brawling and fighting, burning down peo-
ple's corn-ricks and beating up the quar-.
ters Of loose women; in short, he appears
to have shone in the character of a liber-
tine and a rake-hell rather than in a strict
ly judicial capacity.
Instead of dull list OF his legal de-
cisions we are treated TO an amusing, II
not very edifying, narrative of hts Oven

rection against the Philistines, the oppres-
sors Of his people; he merely sailed forth
from time to time as solitary paladin or
knighterrant and moved them down with
the jawbone OF an ass or any other equally
serviceable weapon that came to his hand.
And even on these predatory expeditions
(for he had no scrrple about relieving his
victims of their clothes and probably OF
their purses) the idea of delivering his
nation from servltude was to- all appear
ance the last thing that would have
occurred to him.
tIf he massacred the Philistlnes, as he
certainly did in great profusion and with
hearty goodwill, IL was from no high
motive OF patriotism or policy, but purely
from personal grudgo which he bore
them for the wrongs which they had done
