"HEALTH TRAINS"

In the interests of child welfare it is expected that "health trains" will be introduced in Canada this summer. Such a train will consist of two cars which will be fitted as a travelling clinic with a staff of nurses and a physician in charge. The cars will carry special 'ifealth moyies," a series of charts will be exhibited and talks on food and care of their children will be given b the mothers in every hamlet on the route. The cars will be backed on to siding in the towns where it is planned to make a stop. The idea Is not a new one, but has been successfully carried out in New York state.

.eWlsh You All Happiness and
 Prosperity"

Should it ever happen that you were In 1t to you. Good-by, tailor, adieu to you"
 When the tailor came out into the hall, Theopulus looked him over care fully, to see if he had any mortal wound, and then said to himself:
 Well, I never thought all of Bowser's room would be spattered with blood. and here I shall not find single drop. Those men may say all they want to, but he is crazy, If eyer a man wasp
 When MT. Bowser took the car for home, the conductor was rather timid about holding out his hand for the fare. Several times Mir. Bowser had used sarcastic words to him and he was afraid he might get more of them. He didn't, however He was welcomed with smile and the words:
 "So you are after my fare, are you? We'll, you have got a wearisome job, and I think you ought to be cheered up. Here's quarter and you may keep the change to buy candy for your chil- dren You are good, patient man, and I am going to speak to the presi- dent of the company to promote you"
 The conductor blushed and then went away. He could not quite make out what was coming, and it was with sigh of relief that he reached the rear platform.
 Mrs. Bowser noticed a change the moment MT. Bowser stepped into the hall of his house. She noticed 1t at the dinner table, and she noticed it when they returned to the sitting room. She was as puzzled as Theopu- lus, but she kept her thoughts to her self.
 When Mir. Bowser fell asleep. she rose up and took long look at him. The smile was still there and she sighed in despair, as the drowsiness of sleep came over her. What did 1t all mean? Was there going to be new Mir. Bowser?

ONCE REGIMENTAL MASCOT.

Cornelius D. Vargas was nomi. mated by President Harding and confirmed by the senate to be post master at .Guayama, Porto Rico, and incidentally there came to light bit of romance that harks back to the days of the. spanish-Ameri- can war. At that time the Fourth Ohio infantry was stationed in Por- to Rico. Vargas was adopted as a mascot and when the troops re- turned he was taken to Ohio. While a member of the Ohio state senate, President Harding introduced a resolution by which state funds were appropriated for his education.
 When this was completed Vargas obtained position in the Columbus postoffiee. Through the years Var gas had an ambition to go back to hls home town as postmaster.
 Knowing that, President Harding fulfilled the wish.-The Argonaut.

 Thus it became known in three or four offices, that Mir. BowserA was act ing queerly, and three or four men made excuses to call on him and talk more or less None of them found him very strange, but he was unus- ually polite and he talked about the Peace League in way to surprise them.

 "No, nor I, either. Hadn't we ought to try to get him to send for doc tor?"
 "No, not yet. He might feel hurt about it."
 A little later a tailor came up with a bill and he asked of Theopulus If Mr. Bowser was in his room. Theopu- lus saw chance for some fun. If Mir. Bowscr half killed that tailor 1t would he 6 great amusement, and so he said .

 The tailor was ushered in. Mir. Bowser swung around and smiled at him and said:
 "Ah, I was wondering why you didn't come. Two weeks ago l called at your shop with pair of pants to be cleaned and pressed. You said the work would cost me half dollar and that I was to call two days later. called, but you were not in. Your boy permitted me to take my pants home and said you would come with the bill. You are here. Here is your money. l am very sorry If have put you to any inconvenience Some folks seem to think that tailors have no feelings, but I am not of that number. You have feelings. the same as the President of the United States, and I take you by the hand and wish you all happiness and prosperity"

SYMPATHY THAT WAS REAL
Younester, Himself Often in Trouble, Had FeIlow-Feelinp for Prin-
 cipal In "Hot Water.n

The principal of the school had said some things which angered some of the board members, so he was accordingly summoned before that body. And of course word went around the building from teacher to teacher and pupil to pu- pil that the principal was to be called Con the green carpet"
 Accordingly, the teachers and the most favored pupils began to express their indignation of the af- fair, and sympathy for the princi- pal, when along came the 'black sheep" of the building-the boy who was weekly, and sometimes dai- ly, sent to the principal for his mis- demeanors. He gave the principal the sort of look one pal in distress gives to another, and said: '1 sure do feel sorry for you, and I want to help you all I can. Now, whenever l know I've got to go on the green carpet I just go and eat square meal, and it makes me so satisfied with the world and myself that no one could hurt my feelings. If I were you now I'd do exactly that same thing."-Indianapolis News.

 When Mir. Bowser reached his office ten minutes ahead of time the other morning lie found TheOpulus, the office boy, making an examination of one of the drawers of his desk Twice before he had caught the boy at it, and took him by the collar and shook him, and said:
 You young rascal youl If l ever catch you at this again, will break your neck P
 On this occasion MT. Bowser smiled fatherly smile and kindly said:

 "But-but-but-"s stammered Theop- ulus, more taken abaek than as If he had received a cuff on the ear.
 "Oh, I want no thanks" said Mir. Bowser. "I see a good boy when see you. Should any other offices in this building offer you four times what 1 am paying you, let me know, and will give you more than they will. It seems to me that you look tired and exhausted. I do not wish to overwork you. Take the morning paper and sit down and read for couple of hours. '
 The look of amazement on the boy's face was a study. He tried to say something, but no words would come He finally backed out of the room and went down the hall, to where chum of his was sitting on the window sill.
 Say he whispered to the boy my old boss has become dangerous -
 "How, dangerous?"

Four Noted Artists
Represented on the
Criterion Program

In creating the elaborate program
which surrounds "The Golem," Hugo
Riesenfeld found that he had no less
than four noted artists represented in
fis entertainment. These are w. T.
Renda, the painter who created the
modern dance masks; Tony Sarg,
father of the modern marionettes, car.
toonist, painter and creator Of artistic
silhouette screen comedies; Foshko,
painter and illustrator, who has turned
his activities toward the creation of
stage settings, and Professor Hans
Poelzig, Europe's architect genius, who
is building Max Reinhardt's new thea
ter in the Alps.
The Benda mask dance low at the
Criterion has three different numbers,
one charming and dainty bit of
choreography, the second with a Japan
csc mask and third with a fanciful,
humorous mask
Tony Sarg's Almanac, the third
edition of which is called why They
Love Cave Men," is pronounced the
smoothest and most artistic of the
many mediums used to portray comic
stories. Sarg developed The idea from
old Chinese puppets. creating his own
unique figures of prehistoric men and
women and animals in primitive
episodes.
Foshko, who has become noted as
black and white artist, portrait painter
and caricaturist, created the atmos-
pheric setting for eli, Eli" the pro-
logue which introduces "Tre Golem,"
capturing in the soft-toncd staging the
spirit of the ghetto from which the
residents were driven by the kings
order.
Professor Poelzig created the set
tings that appear in 1.-THE Golem," the
architectural expression of the spirit of
the people of the ghetto, little old
buildings TINT lean against each other
like old men-whispering houses that
have mystic secrets.
These four men-Benda, Sarg, Foshko
and Poelzig-represent the graphic
arts. On the musical side of the pro-
gram is another gathering of interest
ing personalities. Lazar Saminsky, the
Hebrew composer, who is at present
visiting the United States, wrote an
original lament entitled min Met
Ear" and Josiah Euro, a member of Mr..
Riesenfeld's musical staff, arranged the
prologue, which includes many Hebrew
chants, one Of them being eli, Eli"

She has signed a contract with Mr..
Sennett which will keep her busy for
the next two years. 1t is probable that
the announcement that Mabel Normand
would return to Mr.. Sennett is awhat

Valeska Surratt
Her Own Producer,
Author and Star

The premiere of "Jade' at the New
Brighton Theater introduces Valeska
Surratt in the capacity Of author and
producer as we'll as star.
Besides writing the playlet with
Chester Du Vonde, the actress super
vised its staging. She has some posi-
tive views on pictorial backgrounds.
In particular she is stanch advocate
of stage realism.
"The same public is catered to by
the drama, musical comedy and vaude-
ville," observes Miss Surratt. "There is
no such thing as different clientele
for any of these theatrical subdivi-
sions. All the average theatergoer de-
mands is good show and run for
his money, whether he goes to lcgiti-
mate theater or to vaudeville.
Therefore cannot comprehend how
the man or woman who would rave
about the wonderfully realistic rain
storm in Mr.. Belasco's Tiger Rose
could be expected the next night to
accept musical comedy setting that
boasts a purple ocean and yellow
sky.
"Futuristic painting apparently is a
license to do anything at all with a
brush and call the result art. Inas-
much as nature has selected green as
the color of the grass and decreed blue
for the seas and the heavens, it does
seem rather egotistical for the scene
daubers of musical shows to think that
they can improve upon her scheme Of
colors.
I'm our little play n spades spade
and a door is door. Everything is as
practical in construction as it is me-
chanically possible to make it, and,
most important of all, we have en-
deayored to conform absolutely with
the color dictates Of nature"

Championship Fight
Pictures ON View at
44th Street Theater

The authentic Tex Richard motion
pictures of the Dempsey Carpenter
fight in Jersey City, July 9, are being
shown continuously at the Forty-foursh
Street Theater every day, including
Sundays, from II a. nj. to II D. m.
These pictures show in detail The
great event, from the building Of the
arena with its seating capacity Of co.
zoo, up to the blow that ended the
struggle in the fourth round and the
ovation given both men as they left
the ring.
One of the outstanding features Of
the films is the introduction Of SLOW
motion photography, enabling the su-
dience to see every move of the two
contestants slowed down to one-eighsh
their normal speed. This affords an
opportunity to study the tactics Of
the lighters. Frederick C. Quimby Is
directing the exhibition. The picture
IS shown every hour on the hour.
