FINDS THAT NAZIMOVA IS A
NORMAL GENIUS"

Although recognized as the greatest
emotional actress in the world. Nazi-
nova, who is now appearing in "Stro-
niger Than Death" is one of the most
normal and likable personalities off
the stage that could be desired. She
has none of those irritating eccentri-
cities which, as a rule, accompany
genius of her order.
A New York dramatic critic, after
c%onversing with her at her studios in
Hollywood, wrote: THAT which made
Nazimova distinguished is the recog-
milton given her in New York as one
of the foremost living actresses. But
the most remarkable thing about her
is that with all the for
exaggerating the eccentricities that
are conceded to be concomitants of
genius, she is a normal, natural wom-
an, with a clear sense of proportion

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Maude Hamilton Hodges pass
ed to her eternal rest on the morning
Of January 18th, 1920. Mrs. Hodges
was widely and favorably known thro-
ughout Leflore County and counted
her friends by the hundreds. Her life
was Of peculiar sadness and re-
sponsibility. Left a widow early with
three boys, practically babies, she as
sumed the burden and carried it with
wonderful success. These boys reach
ed manhood but within a year two
were taken by death. From this shock
she never recovered, and when dis
ease placed her upon the operating ia
BILE, thought the operation was a per-
feet success, she never rallied but
quietly fell asleep in the faith of her
fathers.
Mrs. Hodges was a member Of the
First Presbyterian Church of Green
wood, also a member of the Auxiliary
Circle of Business Women.
We, the members of this Circle and
her co-workers would hereby express:
FIRST: Our high estimation of
Mrs. Hodges as a friend and christian.
SECOND: Our sense of personal
loss and deep sorrow in her death.
THIRD: Our faith that God makes
no mistakes and that back of this veil
which hides the unseen owe reigns SUI
preme.
FOURTH: Our sympathy for the
family SO sorely bereaved and COM
mend them to the comfort and help
of u common faith.
We recommend that this paper be
spread upon our minutes, a copy be
sent to the family and hat it be pub
lished in The Commonwealth.

New Carter de Haven Comedy, Sup
plies Many Laughs.
The %absurdity Of being supersti-
tious and depending upon horse shoes,
rabbits feet, dream books, and four
leaf clovers to avert disaster is strik-
ingly demonstrated in the newest Par
amount Carter de Haven comedy,
"Hoodooed," which will be shown at
the Greenwood Theatre next Saturday.
Carter de Haven wants a raise in
salary and as a result take every
precaution possible to avoid i'll luck,
using all the familiar fetishes that
have come down through the ages.
He gets his raise and the general
managership of his firm and attrib-
utes it all to his observance of his
customary rites until Mrs. Carter de
Haven proves to him that it all hap
pened on Friday, the 18th, which
knocks his theories into a cooked hat.
So to prove that he is no longer sup
erstitious he tears up the dream book,
throws salt on the floor ,smashes a
mirror, chucks the horseshoe out of
the door with resultant damage to
his boss) and admits that he has been
in the wrong. Charles j. Parrot di-
rected this amusing story by Keene

WILLIAM SLOAN STROUD.

Christmas Eve to all the outside
world was blossoming this year with
all the seeming gayety and light
heartedness of the past, but to the
Cadets it was a day of sorrow and
the realization of the loss of a fellow
Cadet. To those so closely connected
and thrown together day by day grow
to feel the affection and love of one
big family, and the loss of one is a
blow seldom felt, but grieved for by
all.
William Sloan Stroud was with US
until a week before Christmas, when
he was taken i'll. Christmas eve he
passed away into a happier world. AL
ways happy and smiling, ever ready to
lend a helping hand and executing his
daily duties like the man that he was.
To say that he will be missed is far
too meagre, his noble example of a
life plucked away in the prime of
youth, served for his fellows, will be
forever branded in the minds of all
who knew him.
The absence of our friend as the
days pass, will bring forth the reali-
cation of our love and esteem and to
all minds will be born, "None knew
him but to love him, none named him
but to praise"
To the family Jour deepest sympa-
thies are extended in their b~eareave-
ment, and we hope that they will look
upon the present corps, and especially
the class of 1921, as brothers of their
son.

A Tribute To Our Comrade.

The flags Of the V. M. l. fly at half
most and all our hearts are filled with
sadness. God has seen fit to take
from u midst our beloved fellow Ca
Diet and comrade-at-arms, William
Sloan Stroud. Long shall we feel the
absence Of this true V. M. 1. man, and
many weeks will pass e'er time can
soothe the pain Of sorrow which we
feel. His cheerful influence will ever
be missed among the cors, for lever
have We known a truer friend and
class mate. Only those who have gone
side by side with him, as we have,
through the pains and pleasures of
the V. M. l., can appreciate the keen
ness of our loss. Ours is not a super
fetal grief, but that which tears at
the very roots of our heart strings
and leaves US weak and speeches.
with indiscribable suffering.
To the bereaved parents and relati-
YES of our lost comrade, our hearts
go out in helpless sympathy. The
memory can never be erased from our
hearts, and our only consolation lies
in the thought that his death is not
like taps, that betokens the end, but
like reveille, that betokens the be-
ginning, and which shall awaken him
in the land of celestial peace where
trials and hardships of this earthly
existence are replaced by the peace
and calm of everlasting happiness

THE TELEPHONE GIRLS.

The Telephone Girl" sits in her
chair, and listens to voices everywhere
She hears all the news. She knows
if you are happy, or if you r. blue;
She knows our sorrows, she knows
our joys, she knows all the girls that
are chasing the boys.
She knows our troubles, and she
knows our strife.
She knows every man that is mean
to his wife.
She knows every time we are with
the boys.
She hears the excuses each fellow
employs.
If the telephone girls would tell all
they know, it would turn our happi-
ness into bitterest foe.
She could raise a small wind that
would soon be a gale.
Engulf us in trouble and put US in
Jail.
She could tell you a story with gain
ing enforce.
That would cause half the women
to sue for divorce.
She could get our churches mixed in
a fight.
And turn our days into Borrowing
nights.
In fact she could keep all the town
in a stew, if she would tell just Ito
(one-tenth) of all she knows.

PREFERRED THE
AMERICAN PLAN
OF Getting Together To Settle Labor
Difficulties Over Australian Com
pulsOry Arbitration System.
Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 9
Harry w. Braddon, formerly Aus
tralian Commissioner to the United
States, told Australians in a speech
the other day that he preferred the
American system of getting togeth-
err to settle labor difficulties over the
Australian compulsory arbitration
plan.
"The Americans told me they would
not touch the Australian system with
a 1O-foot pole," said Mr.. Braddon. Il
have come back to Australia convinc-
ed that they were right. The whole
system of compulsory arbitration is
based on wrong principles. The Am
erican motto, get together, is the right
idea. l would like to see the whole
Australian Arbitration Court struc-
ture swept away to make room for a
system which would allow employers.
and employees to get together and en-
able each party to come to a proper
understanding Of the others peculiar
difficulties"
Speaking of American Characters
tics, Mr.. Braddon said that when he
first went to America he was a little
skeptical about the idealism of which
he had heard but that closer acquaint-
ance had removed all his doubts. Ear
from being hard and material che,
Americans are the most ideal-hving-
nation in the world, emotional at.
times to the point of sentimentality."

Rapa, Paradise
for Lazy Men

toss them into the open mouths of the
men folks.
The people of Rapa wear no clothes
or did not until scandaiZed white
missionary from Tahiti insisted on
gathering some old garments from his
more favored parishioners in Papeete
and hurried them to Rapa.
Rapa. known also as Oparo, is one of
the most isolated and most interesting
islands in the South Pacific. 1t lies
south of Tahiti, far out in the tropics,
included in the French settlements in
Oceania and inhabited by Polynesians
of the same type as the Tahitians.
1t is one of the few spots most light
ly touched by the finger of civilization.
Seldom does a schooner touch here
not more than once year-and once
in great while French gunbOat
from Papeete will voyage into the
Dangerous archipelago.
The island itself Is mountainous,
with strange caStlelike peaks rising
in the interior. 1t possesses good
harbor, and. what is most unique in
the South Sea islands, has deposits of
coal not of very good quality. though.
When the Panama canal was near
ing completion there was much talk in
Tahiti of establishing a coaling station
here, Rapa being close to the southern
great circle route and admirably adapt
ed to such purpose, but no such
thing had come to rudely shock the
serene existence of Rapa men.

She IS talkative young school

much given to speech. Recently when
he operated on her, her chatterihg
preceding the operation almost drove
him mad. After the operation, though,
he forgot all about that and did all he
could to alleviate her suffering.
The fourth day he dressed her
wounds and made her comfortable in
every way he could. Then she began
to chatter and asked him question aft
er question, the last one being, "DOc-
tor, how am really now?"
He remembered his experience with
her laxative little tongue before her
operation. "Oh, you're getting along
splendidly," he retorted. "In fact all
the suffering you will now have to en-
dure is just to keep quiet"

"They could all be occupied in the one

government, from the Jewish national

houses. he points out that such an

"The nucleus for such an industrial
