when they put on the uniform
that the government should rec
ognize by granting them the adj
ditional compensation the bonus
bill proposed. For whatever it is
worth, the ex-service men of
South Carolina should keep in
mind the fact-they may find it
useful two or shree years hence
that Senator N. B. Dial of this.
State was one of the Democrats
who assisted the Republicans in
sidetracking the bonus bill. 1t
seems easy enough for the presi-
dent and Congress to figure out
where the money is to come from
to present, the railroads of the
country with a half billion dol
lars to which they are not enti-
tied, but when it comes to a sim
pie matter of fair treatment for
the ex-service men. the govern
ment finances at once become i'm
such deplorable shape that to
grant the bonus would mean ruin
As to which, however. Senator
Kenyon of Iowa hit the nail on
the head when he observed that
a people who could afford to pay
over million and half dollars
to see Stacker knock a French
man into unconsciousness would
not find it difficult to put up the
money to pay the soldiers what,
they owed them.

the railroads would be forced to
lower their rates in less than 60
days. But the strangevzthing of
the situation is that the manage
nent Of the railroads do not seem
TO have sense enough to know
that they are standing in the way
Of their own prosperity. Ii
freight and passenger rates were
put upon reasonable basis, the
business of the companies would
immediately show an immense in
crease. Under present conditions
many people patronize the rail
roads only when they are forced
to do SO. But the railroad com
panies apparently prefer to go
before Congress with hat in hand
like so many street paupers beg
ging for aims, seeming to think
that 1t is easier to- influence the
lawmakers of the country to
give them that to which they are
not entitled than it would be to
go out and honestly earn enough
to keep their business going with
a balance OH the right side of the
ledger. If Fort Mill merchant
should appear at the next meet
ing of the local town council and
beg that an appropriation be
made from the tax money of the
community to keep his business
afloat, everybody would write
that man down a knave and
fool but that is exactly what the
railroads are begging the Ameri-

Some folks are SO credulous
, they are ready to believe, or pre-
tend to believe, almost anything.
In this class we find the editor Of
Charlotte textile paper, who re-
pcated for the newspapers a few
days ago a story to the effect
that the strike of the cotton mill
operatives in the Charlotte dis
trict was being financed in part
at least by New England mills.
Informed people will not take the
story seriously. The New Eng.
land mills are not owned or man
aged by chumps who have money
to throw at the birds. On the
contrary, the cotton mill mag
mates OF that section have the
reputation of being elevated
men upon an elevated plan, who
keep all they get and get all they
can" There is no telling-per-

of this Christie star, it remains a fact that she has been in comedies ever since and that she has maintained a popularity in that field longer than any other woman star.
 Parents Opposed Stage.
 Out in Topeka, Kans., where she was born, she soon developed an eagerness for the stage. Her parents opposed, but finally they compromised on grand opera, especially when a rich uncle and aunt in Chicago of fered to pay for her musical educa- tion- So to Chicago she went and afterwards to Europe to study. But after all the trouble they had in start ing her on Mary Garden-Tettrazini career they returned to New York and Fay Topped right into the chorus of a Broadway show
 She did not stay in the chorus long, for a friend predicted fame in vaude- vile and at the same time told her of an original sketch that Ernest Truex had presented at the annual gambol of the Lambs Club. It was called dance dream" and Miss Tin cher was lucky enough to acquire the sketch, costume and all She was an instant hit and quickly attracted the attention of Griffith who was then selecting many of his players from tn e stage
 In Los Angeles she appeared oppo- site DeWolf Hopper in the 1atter's somewhat brief picture career and then was starred in a series of two reel comedies. Then she joined the Christie forces with whom she has been since. She scored an immedi- ate success in such fun films as "Rowdy Ann,'' Wild and Western, g and GO West, Young Woman" Her most recent pictures are "A Seaside Siren, Striking Models and Din ing Room, Kitchen and Sink"
 Miss Tincher is feet inches and weighs 110 pounds. She has brown hair and eyes and is unmarried.

friends of the more sober 'Billeted" thought of the liberties we had to take with the original piece as they watched us dashing in and out of bedrooms, hiding men in closets and waking up in negligees. But each part has it's own advantages and dis advantages
 I have just done The Frisky Mrs Johnson" and for some time we en- Joyed ourselves in attractive settings, teas at the Ritz. carnivals in Paris and such things, but there are draw backs even to society comedies. One day we were out horseback riding for four hours, looking for the sun. Mir Dillon, who was my director, used to ride race horses once upon a time, so he was the only one of the party who did not ache all over with weari- ness. The sun never did oblige, though by the time we turned to go home someone remarked the moon seemed to be willing.
 Then there has been a green dress that was slipped on carelessly in one scene and seems to have found occa- sions to appear every day since. You but constant familiarity has bred worse than contempt; I hope never to see it again. I have always want ed little place under the sub-titles for announcements of my own, but l. am afraid I shan't be able to arrange for it in time to let Mrs. Johnson say: Excuse this dress. l hate it too.'
 In spite of all that think I am going to like "The Frislky Mrs. John son" as well as any part I have had, though I can never tell till I see the final results on the screen and find out if the electrician and the camera man have done their worst Careful acting, pretty gowns, attractive set tings, excellent directors all are as nothing if someone has provided a lighting which gives one an eNpres- sion of peculiar hideouSness. I am particularly unfortunate in this re- spect in having reddish hair that al the most unexpected times photo graphs black with chameleon-hke re- suits far from fattering. It means such extreme care to light it correct 1y that out of pity for the camera man I have often been tempted to go around in a white wig that could make no such mistakes.
 This has not told you much about the part I like playing best, but as say. I can think of any one in par ticular favorite-and any answer more definite might not be true before I have seen Mrs. Johnson.

One summer night, a few months after my marriage l was seated by my own hearth smoking last pipe and nodding over a novel, for my day's work had been an eXhausIng. one. My wife had already gone up- stairs, and the sound of the locking of the hall door some time before told me that the servants had also retired. I had risen from my seat and was knocking out the ashes of my pipe when I suddenly heard the clang of the bell
 I looked at the clock. It was a quarter. to twefvc ,rhis could not be a visitor at so late an hour. A patti night sitting. With a wry face l went out into the hall and opened the door. To my astonishment it was Sherlock Holmes who stood upon my step.
 "Ah, Watson, said he, hoped that I might not be too late to catch you"
 My dear fellow, pray come in."
 You look surprised, and no won der, Relieved too, fancy! Hum! You still smoke the Arcadia mixture of your bachelor days thenI There's
 no mistaking that fluffy ash upon your coat. It's easy to tell that you have been accustomed to wear a uniform, Watson. You'll never pass as a pure-bred civilian as long as you keep that habit of carrying your
 handkerchief in your sleeve. Could you put me up tonight % with pleasure"
 "You told me that you had bachelor quarters for one, and l see that you have no gentleman visitor at present. Your hat-stand proclaims as much p 'I shall be delighted if you will stay.''
 'sThank you. I'll fill the vacant peg then. Sorry to see that you've | had the British workman in the | house. He's a token of evil. Not | the drains, I hope?'
 'tNo, the gas.'
 "Ahl He has left two nail-marks from his boot upon your inoleum just where the light strikes it. No, thank you, I had some supper at Waterloo, but I'll smoke a pipe with you with pleasure
 I handed him my pouch, and he seated himself opposite to me and smoked for some time in silence. I ! was well aware that nothing but busi- I ness of importance would have | brought him to me at such an hour so I waited patiently until he should come round to it.

What Do YOU Think
 About Censorship?

Kansas City. Mo.-Club women of Kansas City have begun a fight on lax censorship of motion pictures, which some officials of womens or ganizationS declare is responsible for an increase in juvenile crimes and immortality.
 A bill creating a state board of cen sorship is before the Missouri legis- Iature and 1t has received the in dorsement of a number of religious and women's organizations.
 The movement here, which is fos- tered by the Susan B. Anthony Club of Kansas City, will seek to strength en censorship regulations in Kansas City to make motion pictures safe for youths, it was announced. A meeting of representatives of all wo- mems clubs in the city will be held soon to evolve a plan for obtaining Stricter censorship.

It's truly remarkable what a little bit of handiwork will do. Take the simplest frock in the world, of course there can be no question as to its worth as far as material goes. add to it a touch of color through the me dium of the embroidery needle Or hemstitch it on collar, cuffs and skirt or cleverly place some beads here and there and its value is enhanced three fold.
 In and of itself a frock of sheer handkerchief linen is something to be proud of, but when it is hemstitched and. preseneted with collar and cuffs of organdie and a sash that ties in the back the frock becomes a thing of beauty and a joy throughout the season.
 At any rate that is what the fair sojourners upon the southern shores believe, and there is no type of dress more popular for midday wear than the fil1ny frock of sheer cotton or linen.
 Fashion is contradictory dame

THE CROOKED Part D ss== By Doyle

'It has not excited much attention yet, except locally The facts are these:
 "The Royal Ministers is, as you | know, one of the most famous Irish ! regiments in the British army. It did | wonders both in the Crinlea and the | Mutiny, and has since that time dis | tinguished itself upon every possible 1 occasion. It was commanded up to Monday night by James Barclay, a | private, was raised to commissioned | rank for his bravery at the time of the
 Mutiny, and so lived to command the
 regiment in which he had once car
 ried a a,muslxet. s. l Colonel Barclay had married at
 the time when he was a sergeant, and his wife, whose maiden name was
 Miss Nancy Devoy, was the daughter
 same corps. There was, therefore, as
 can be imagined, some little social ' friction when the young couple (for
 they were still young) found them 1 Tkey appear, however, to have quickly | adapted themselves. and Mrs. Barclay
 has always, I understand, been as
 popular with the ladies of the regi-
 ment as her husband was with his | brother officers. l may add that
 she was a woman of greAE beauty,
 and that even now, when she has been married for upwards of thirty years, she is still of a striking and 1 queeply appearance.
 I-~"Co1onef Barclays family life ap- pears to have been a uniformly happy 1 one. Major Murphy. to whom I owe
 most of my facts, assures me that he
 has never heard of any misundeI,-
 standing between the pair. On the
 whole, he thinks that Barclays devo- i ton to his wife was greater than his
 wife'S to Barclay He was acutely
 uneasy if he were absent from her | for a day. She, on the other hand,
 foi+ If | obtrusively affectionate. But they
 were regarded in the regiment as the
 very model of Q midde-aged couple. 1 There was absolutely nothing in their
 mutual relations to prepare people | for the tragedy which was to follow. | Colonel Barclay himself seems to
 have had some singular traits in his character. He was a dashing, jovial | old soldier in his usual mood, but there were occasions on which he
 seemed to show himself capable of
 considerable violence and vindictiye-
 ness. This side of his nature, how l ever, appears never to have been | turned toward his wife. Another fact, which had struck Major Murphy
 and three out of five of the other | officers with whom I converSed, was the singular sort of depression which lcame upon him ait times. As the major expressed it, the smile haS ioften been struck from his mouth, al
