 By conferences the interests of both parties can be studied and conserved and the extension of the motor truck to develop territory not served by rail or for short haul and intra -city move ments, can, believe, proceed with ad- vantages both to the rail carriers and the motor truck interests: while, on the other hand, if the energies of the motor truck interests are devoted to the placing of competing lines to take traffic for the longer hauls which has been developed by the rail carriers, it would result in mo real increase in fla cilities, but in competition which would only be harmful to both in terests.

He refuses to defend her. She, however, is braver: she will put up a terrific battle for her young. Off his guard, the bull elk isn't graceful eith- CT; he's a regular slouch-

GIRL FROM GUTTER INSPIRED
. SCULPTOR'S MASTERPIECE

IL you believe that you had inspired
your husband to do big things-to
write great book, or paint a great
picture, OF design beautiful build
ing, or build a big bridge-would you
sit back and let another woman rob
you of your happiness, or would you
fight for it?
Denise Fleury, the heroine of "Tho
Virtuous Model, the Albert Capel-
lani-Pathe picture, of which Dolores
Cassinelli is the star, coming TO the
local theatres on Tuesday nights pic
ture believed that her soul, as well as
her body, had been the inspiration for
her sculptor husbands masterpiece,
for which she had posed, and when an
other woman sought to claim her
place, Denise fought!
Life had been drab and dreary fOf
this beautiful young girl. Surround
ed by the squalor of the Montmartre
district, in Paris, she kept tight hold
of her ideals and side-stepped tempta-
ton.
Then Paul Brehant, the noted
Sculptor, entered her life. An ideal
ist, smarting from the disappoint-
ment of finding the woman he loved
untrue to him, Denise's purity ap-
pealed to him and they were married
But the other woman would not Sc
easily relinquish her place to a gir
from the gutter.
Did the virtue of the girl of lowl!
birth hold out against the insidiou:
lies and insults of the woman of higl
birth? The answer lies in the happ!
