is about three thousand words long
stands a much better chance OF being
read, instead Of being tucked into cor

the editor is less tired, than does the
longer story.
If you can tell your story in less than
three thousand words, 80 much the bet

Mary Brown, the heroine-a pretty,

What Is a SynOpsis?'

A despairing wall reached my desk to-
day.
Everybody says that stories for the
screen should be in synopsis FORM" 1t
ran. "Aad / don't know what synopsis
form Isl
Well. that's simple enough to explain.
It's a story told in straight narrative
form. giving just enough detail to fill
in the picture. AS a rule, dialog is
omitted. though If It is absolutely essen
tial it may be included. The synopsis
just tells hat happens.
OF course, different scenario editors
like different things. one may swear
that he won't read dialog; another
may insist shat he wants 1t put IN. So
the best thing or you 10 do is to write
your story, just telling what happens,
and let It rest on ifs laureis. II its a
good story, it VIII get by.
Another thing-the length. If you had
to read hundreds and hundreds of man
uscript. wouldn't you shy when a par
ticularly bulky one landed on your
desk? Well, that's the way the scenario

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

K. P, Ohio-I heard that the comedy
team Of Lyons and Moran has split;
is this true7 I hope not, for 1 liked to
see them work together.
I liked their work, too. so I'm sorry
to say that the report was true. 1t is
said that they disagreed over the man
ner in which q picture should be cut.
Lee Moran is still making comedies for
Universal, but Bddie Lyons has left
Phil, Bridgeport Is it true that
Charlie Chaplin was seriously injured
recently in studio fire. and did Edna
Purviance save his life?
No, he wasn't seriously burned, but
he might have been if Miss Purviance
and other people who were in the studio
at the time had not run TO the rescue.

GARFIELD PARK
Is ISOLATED.

Probably the worst isolated of the
traffic islands" is beautiful Garfield
Park. site of the second most beautiful
municipal gardens in the United States.
There is no well paved, uncongested route
to Garfield Park from any section except
the small residential district lying i'm
mediately around it. People of the
south side who live only a few blocks
away can not get into it without driving.
over some ahominable pavements. Co
ing to Garfield Park from the business
district means following either Madison
avenue or South Meridian street, both OF
which have many bad spots and are
crowded. Each street has several bad
jogs and is not paved all the wayJ
Shelby street ore day may be a good
route to the park but no one who does
not have to, drives over 1t today. Until
Pleasant Run Parkway finally is cut
through to connect Garfield and Elem
berger Parks citizens of the east side
will have to continue to go through the
downtown section to get to Gerfield. Ex-
tension of the boulevard system to the
west also remains to be accomplished
before the west side will be linked with
the city's most beautiful park
Although there Is no stream to cut it
off from the rest of the city, the Irving
ton island" is too hard to get to. Wash
ington streets pavement is not good and
it is crowded with motors, street cars
and interurbans. New York street,
which Is full Of joys and dangerous cross,
ings, as well as narrow, is the only
through route to Irvington. Michigan
street would be added to this list, but
1t is unpaved from Sherman drive to
Emerson avenue. Irvington can not be
reached directly from the north and
south sections. One must go through
the downtown bottle or get to Washing
ton or New York streets by way of State
avenue or Sherman drive.
Brookside Park has some Splendid
winding drives, and some entirely made
quate ways Of getting to them. The best
route from the business district Ia
through Massachusetts avenue. under

WORSE THAN BEING IN DEBT

If European countries were excused from paying the approximately ten million dollars they owe to the United tates. how would their credit rating be thereafter?
 A nation is a group of individuals. Any person who, in a desperate plight as aided by a banker and then asked the banker to cancel the debt would not be considered highly thereafter. So, too, with a nation.
 Honest men and honest nations pay -heir debts. however long it may take them to discharge their obl gations.
 Gratitude has been defined as a lively appreciation of favors to be re- ceived.
 If Europe were granted indulgence in the present instance it probably would expect or attempt to borrow mora money here and there would be no as surance that, having started to beg off from paying, it would not continue the same way.
 Would it be able to borrow in Amer ica? Not in thousand years.
 Its credit would be destroyed, and deservedly so.
 The ultimate cost of that w-reckins of national credit would be far more than the present debt,-Philadelph Public Ledger.

California Runner Lowers Record On
 University Track
rRepubilcan A. P. Leased WIrel

BERKELEY, Calf, March 26.- Charles Paddock. University of South ern California, clipped two-fifths of second off the worlds record for the 22G-yard dash here t-day, covering the distance in 204- seconds. Four watches caught him at this speed, and two at 20 S-5 seconds. His record was made in meet with the Univer- sity of California
 Paddock was member Of the American team at the Olympic games last year. The former record, 2l 1-5 was made by Bernard J. Wefers at New York in 1896. but since has been equalled by several professional and amateus runners.
 Paddock'S mark was set in a regular meet between the University of Cali fornia and the U. of Southern Califor- nia- Paddock, earlier ih the day, had won the hundred yard dash, his time in that event equallins the world s record, 93-5 seconds, made first by Dan J. Kelly at Spokane, Wash, in 1906. and since equalled by H. P. Drew and Robert Cloughen.
 Todays marks were made on straightaway track, which has local reputation for being fact. Paddock last year ran the hundred yards on it in the unofficial time of 3-5 sec onds.

 Officials of the meet said an effort would be made to have the Amateur Athletic Union recognize the mark as record, but that because there was slight breeze at times during the aft ernoon, they believed there might be some difficulty about this.
 The breeze would have favored the runners, they said, but the starter had been instructed to hold the men until there was a lull, and had done so.
 Paddock got away to a good start and led all the way. Hutchinson, University of California, was second, and unofficial timers said he made the distance one fifth of a second slower than Paddock. Paddock won the 100- meter dash at Antwerp last summer
 Paddock also placed second at the 200- meter event at Antwerp.
 The officials of the meet at first re- ported that four watches recorded Pad docks time as 20 4-5 second and a fifth as 20 3-5 seconds. Later, on examin- ing the watches under masnifying glass they declared two Of them showed the faster time.
