Douglas Fairbanks WedS
Famous Little Mary -

Usually when two film screen
artists get married there is about
as much commotion aroused over
1t as a wedding in the remotest
OF rural districts. But when
two celebrities-real stars COM

well, that's different. So when
Gladys Mary Smith Moore, bet
ter known as Mary Pickford,
conceded to be the highest sala-
ried film star, and Douglas Fair
banks, also one of the top
notch screeners, were married
in Los Angeles last Sunday,

and that she would devote the
remainder of her life to motion

Miss Pickford gave her age as
26 to the license dealer, while
the groom gave his name as
Douglas Elton Fairbanks and
counted off 36 years he h a d

little son and was divorced two
years ago from his wife who is
said to be of a wealthy Rhode
Island family.

April Fool Day

Yesterday was "All Fools
Day suppose you discovered
it, though! Many minor jokes
were pulled, some in person and
Others via the telephone. The
Academy students were unusu-
ally calm this year, nothing OF
a startling nature occurring at
this institution. However, some
of the 7th and 9Th grade stu
dents (all boys) of the public
school decided to try the stunt
of playing hockey" for the
day. Their appointed congre-
eating spot was behind the grand
stand, but all were ''nipped' be-
fore they had fairly started on
their journey by Principal Fish
and persuaded (?) to return to
school. So the joke was on the
youths.

Exhibitors May Have to
Fear Church Movies

Buffalo, N. Y, exhibitors may
soon have another problem on
their hands-the competition of
downtown churches on Sunday
evenings.
Sunday evening, March Z. the
East Presbyterian Church pre-

usual sermon, and on Sunday
evening, March IA, the fash

evening sermon n d showed

At Calvary Church the Pick
ford feature was shown in place
of the preaching of a sermon,
although the Rev. Gardner E.
Eldridge briefly drew a moral
before dismissing the congre-
cation. Mr.. Eldridge has shown
films for the past several Sun
day evenings, and he says the
plan is meeting with unusual
success. The chief difficulty, he
says, is in getting the right kind
of film.

are sure to come as a permanent
part of church work." said the
clergyman, They are the com

The movies can serve to teach
the truth in a most forceful way.
"Our only difficulty so far has
been in getting the right kind

producers have not yet realized
the value of pictures to the

The Romance of Rubber

The American Indian was the
pioneer in the use of rubber.
When Columbus came over here
in 1892 he found the Indians
using crude rubber for balls,
ornaments and various articles
of clothing, amongst which were
shoes proof against moisture.
But it took the Americans un-
til 1862 to deem rubber suffi-
GENTLY important to mention it
in import statistics. Europeans,
too, knew of rubber for two
hundred years before serious
scientific interest was taken in
it or effort made to utilize it in
dustrially.
The French were the pioneers
in the industrial use of rubber.
La Condamine, the French nat
uralist, discovered the native
gum in the Andes in the first
half of the 18th century. The
natives called it 'caucho," and
from this came the French word
for rubber "caoutchouc," which
is practically the universal word
for it outside of English speak
ing countries.
An English chemist, Joseph
Priestly, discovered that rubber
would erase pencil marks, and
from this characteristic came
the name by which we know it.
Rubber tires were first sug-.
gested by Thomas Hancock in
1856, and the pneumatic tire
was patented by Dunlop in 1888.
Up to 1873 wild growth sup
piled the world with rubber. In
that year, however, plantation
rubber production began in va
rious countries, and increased
until, in 1914, this was the larg-
est source of the worlds supply.

Advice to Girls

Mrs. Catherine Sellin of Kane,
Pa, hale and hearty at 95, gives
advice to girls of the new gen
GRAFTON on the question of health.
To attain sound health and
long life, " she says, a girl
must observe these simple rules:
She must eat slowly, breathe
deeply, get plenty Of sleep, never
expose her throat in cold wealth
er by, wearing these modern low
necked dresses, and she must
not wear high-heeled Shoes"
Good enough advice, very
likely-but what chance is there
of its being followed? The ven
cradle Mrs. Sellin, we fear, is a
back number, Every slip of a
girl nowadays knows a heap
more than any grandmother or
eat-grandmother can possibly
have learned in a long life of
experience and observation.
Another thing that Mrs. Sellin
recommends is exercise, particu-
larly digging in the soil. The
best thing in the world for a
woman's health is to put on
loose overaIls and work around
in the garden. "
The very idea! Can anybody
see, even in his minds eyes.
any present-day girl doing so
perfectly outrageous a thing as
working in a garden! Not that
the modern girl is ayerse to ex-
ercise but she prefers to take
it in dance hall.
One thing this old-fashioned
adviser spared the girls. She
did not specifically recommend
dish-washing, as many a doctor
has done, as an aid to health,
beauty and longevity. If she
had, she would have met the OBJ
vious retort, What are electri-
cal dish-washers for. anyhow

Lord and Lady Glenconner and
Two Sons Pass Through
Omaha on Way Back to
Great Britain.

Lord Glenconner of Glasgow and
London, peer of the realm ant
member of the British house o.
lords, was in Omaha yesterday. Very
few of the hundreds of travellers
and others at the Burlington sta.
ton, where he spent some 20 min.
uttes, were aware of their proximity
to nobility. But he was here, never
theless, and with him were Lady
Glenconner and two strapping
Scottish lads, his sons.
Then Glenconner party is return,
ing to London, after a stay of two
months in California. They are
travelling in their private car, Con-
sitution, which was attached to east
bound Burlington train No. 2. Their
immediate destination is Boston,
where they will remain four days
before embarking for England.
At the station Lady Glenconner
and the boys walked up and down
the platform for a few turns, un-
recognized by the hurrying travellers
and the relatives and friends of those
who left the train. Lord Glen
conner would have liked to join
them but he was delayed.
Nothing to Say.
He was explaining to lone re-
porter that he really had nothing to
say. Nothing, that is, except that
Nebraska is quite the most beauti-
full country he had yet seen. and
the country seemed so flourishing
and the towns and cities so bustling
and prosperous. The weather, too,
was so bracing and the sunshine
so bright and pleasant. Nebraska
really had quite fan in his lord
ship.
The railroads of the country were
a different proposition, however,
and lacked the essential of privacy
found on the British roads. Car
riages there, Lord Glenconner
pointed out, limit passengers to six

1--WE wish to deny that there is
any break among the commissioners
who voted for this ordinance yester-
day. There is no urgent need Of
passing the ordinance until March
22, and, insofar as we now know, the
ordinance will be passed on or be-
fore that date. We have no knowl-

asked to hold the ordinance for a

request"
This arrangement was agreeable

Commissioners Ure, Zimman,
