Shirley Mason hunts the ledi-
poptera in their native haunts when
she is not busy in the studios.
In other words. the fair Shirley
likes to chase the elusive butterfly
near her bungalow in Hollywood,
Cal. Shirley, you remember, is the
younger sister of Viola Dana and
Edna Flugrath. She made a nota-
BILE success touring the coast cities
in THE Poor Little Rich Girl" 1t
was just after this tour that she
entered the movies. Now Miss Ma
soE has become star and she is
one of the Fox Films most popular
leading women.
Shirley makes her friends in
northern climes enviOus of her cool
summer sports outfits. This is one
of her favorite costumes, a smart
sweater of bright red and white
tailored skirt. There are plenty Of
movie bugs who will be attracted
by the combination Of such fash
ion, and much beauty even if but
terflies are not.
The name Halina Bruzovna means
very little now to the American
theatregoing public, but it means
a great deal to Poland. There it
means what Sarah Bernhard means
in France.
Before the war, Nine. Bruzovna
was the idol Of the Dolish stage. At
the state theatre in Warsaw she
played leading roles under the di-
rection of Richard Ordynski, now
stage manager Of the Metropolitan.
When the war broke out, Madame
Bruzovna left the footlights and
went into the trenches. Twice she
served in the first line. 1t was only
after her husband was killed in

this time took her strength and de-

crush her ambition. AS soon as the
war was over she decided to go on
with her art-not in her native

Shortly after her arrival in this

TRAVELETTE
Walpole


The customs OF modern civiliza-
tion and primitive tradition are
curiously mixed in Walpole, an In
dian reservation in Canada Just
ocross the border line from Michi-
gan. The Indian is proud of be-
ing as much like the white man as
possible, but he still has the in
stincts of his fathers and they in
sist upon being recognized. So he
wears a derby hat and a gorgeous
ly beaded vest. He hangs around
the white dance hall Of the nearby
village Of Algonac, but always
gives his native dances on festive
occasions. He lives in an ugly
frame house if he is wealthy
enough, or if not. planes the bark
from his picturesque log cabin and
makes it even worse by whitewash-
ing it. But he uses his old-time
dugout canoe in his journeys up
and down the beautiful st, Claire
river.
= Life in Walpole centers around
the church. The Indians are deep
ly religious. most of them being
Catholic, although. there are enough
who have deserted the Great Spirit
for the Methodist God to support a
church Of that denomination also.
The priest is white but he breaches
in Indian and then repeats his ser
mon in English. During the fail
in October, the event of the year
in Walpole, the church is used as
an exhibition hall for the Indian
handicrafts, baskets, leather goods
and beadwork.
One of the most interesting feat
ures Of the settlement is the Indian
graveyard on a bluff at the fork OF
the st. Claire and Snye-Carte riv-
ers. Here there is an Indian mound
full Of the bones Of long-departed
aborigines, and many more recent
graves, including those Of several
chiefs. In his way of decorating
the graves OF his forbears the In
dian is most truly himself. for, as
with other races, the superstitions
and rites surrounding death seem
to be the hardest to relinquish
Most Of the graves are heaped with
propitiatory offerings, bits OF
brightly colored glass and crock
cry. bottles, electric light bulbs,
dolls eyes. One grave even boasts
an alarm clock. The Indian is a
good Christian now, but, in some
instances at least, he is taking no
chances with the Great Spirit when
it comes to smoothing the way for
the departed.

Reduction by Congress on all sppro'

Yard.
A reduction OF force to come within
the funds provided will take place
July /. Notices have already been
given to the men who are to be
separated.
About 325 employees will be dropped
al the end OF the present month. which
also ends the fiscal year for which
appropriations are made.
II has been understood that the cut
in the force would be per cent. The
number scheduled, according TO re-
ports, is rather less than that.
Schedules have been carefully pre-
pared by chiefs of the various zones
and divisions OF the plant to distrib-
ute the reduction where it will work
the least hardship, at the same time
complying with the requirements for
the protection OF eX-service men.
Last var when temporary lay or
was made necessary, employees of the
drafting rooms pooled their loss by
taking one day off in week and
keeping the force intact. AS the pres
ent reduction is mandatory for the
fiscal year, IL is unlikely that this
arrangement will be made.

The Generals statement rings with honesty sincerity

plain truth about Butler. ,'.-.,
This man Butler is nothing but "a little brother OF
the rch rather little butler of the rch since ne
in all respects the hveried lackey Of privilege
He is among the meanest Of the parasites that suck
their sustenance from the predatory interests because
the service he renders his masters dangerous betrayal
of democracy His task is to endeavor to direct the steps
of the finest of youth away from high service TO tine
Republic and to their fellow citizens and into the menla
service of wealth and privilege he himself pursues and
glories in. tt.~ig
He has driven many professors Of progressive thought
out of Columbia College and after each exodus OF such
teachers of competence and character he has the hat
among his wealthy patrons for contributions happy to
make up in money what he has lost to his college in cour
age and conscience, ability and honesty.
It is gratifying to true Americans everywhere to
have General Wood denounce this poseW and pretender
as the "faker' and falsifer that he really is.
There many citizens who were not for General
Wood for President who would have been honored to be
