Scenario writer's of the ability of
John Emerson and Anita Loos appar-
emily know what Constance Talmadge
needs to score a success on the
screen. and they have concocted a
story that fits like kid glove in The
Perfect Woman Miss Talmadge is
inimitable in burlesquing a vampire,
and her supposed innocence in max
ing love is delicious comedy. In "The
Perfect Woman" Mary Blake is
quartered at the working girls
home waiting for a job when John
Stanhope, full of business and with
no time for women, sends for a pri-
yate secretary. Mary responds, but
is rejected as deficient and returns to
the charge as an intellectual giant
This time the job is Mary's and STAN
hope unconsciously comes under her
influence through constant compan-
ionship. An attack on Stanhope by
the anarchists gives Mary chance to
pose as a heroine. A happy marriage
is of course inevitable. The fun de-
velops during the unfolding of the
story, when Mary uses her different
"vamps" to meet the varying situa-
tions. It is all good, clean fun.

LATEST
SOCIETY NEWS

This paper realizes that it has been
very remiss in its duty as a great
religious and family journal, in that
it has failed to chronicle in its pages
the doings of high society. Nearly
all the big city dailies carry a special
society page, and we don't see how
we came to overlook it. In future we
will try to do better. Following is a
late and important item from the San
Francisco dispatches, written, how
ever, by our special society reporter:
Mrs. Astorbilt motored to San Mateo
yesterday, where everybody lives that
amounts to anything, and had tea with

The tea was a great success and the
ladies are very patriotic and helped
win the war, which otherwise could
not have been won. They each took
a $50 liberty bond and several thrift
stamps, knitting nearly half a wooden
sock. They also contributed very

MODERN
COlIsIERCIALISM

Modern commercialism, in our hum
BILE judgment. is like a canker on the
body politie-a fostering sore of
greed and selfishness that is eating
into the soul of mankind. The wars
that have recently been slaughtering
millions and almost devastating the
world yer caused by nothing else
but selhshness. greed for gain and
commereialism.
Lust for power and gain has
butchered more human beings than
any other cause since the dawn of
history, and we are still at it, doing
as nations what we would be hanged
for if did as individuals. All history
from the Old Testament to our modern
newspapers, are records of savage on
sets, robberies Of unoffehding neigh
bors, determination of whole peoples,
rebellions, religious intolerance,
fanatical ferocity. brutal conQuests
and wholesale murder, and yet today
with all our boosted civilization, in
telligence and Christianity the only
improvement we have made is that
we have invented new and awful en-
gines of death with which we can
kill thousands insteads of hundreds
in the same length of time.
Modern wars have slaughtered more
men than our packing houses have
cattle, sheep and hogs, and all be-
cause of lust for gain, greed and hui
nan selfshness. Speed the day when
Christ's teachings instead of mans
devilshness shall prevail.
What is the solution? If one keeps
in business and mikes into the game
of commercialism as it is played to-
day, and wins at the game, greed
selfishness and dishonesty have got
to be mixed. Not one man out of a
hundred who makes a success in bust
ness today, under the prevailing sys-
TENS, can keep clean, upright, honest
honorable and untainted. You CAM

THE FOR
SOBER THOUGHT

In the humble judgment of this
scribe right now is a time for some
deep and sober thinking on the part
Of all the people. and yet all evidences
point to the conclusion that they are
doing less OF that kind of thinking
than they ever did. Otherwise they
would not continue on this spend
thrift debauch.
Burning up money like Coal Oil
Johnny is always a boomerang that
flies back and knocks the burner silly.
1t has never failed yet and it is not
going to fail this time. This imitation
is abnormal, and anything abnormal
adjusts itself sooner or later.
The drunk is not confined to the
working classes, although they are
doing their full part, but infects every
walk and class. Profteering and dis
honest dealing also infects all classes,
and the dispatches are full every day
OF greed, graft, dishonorable actions
and dishonest co-nnnercialism. There
was never anything like it in the his
tory of the world before, and if old
Diogenes were out with his lantern
looking for honest men now he would
have a similar job to that of the
thousands of government sleuths
searching for concealed booze.
