 Used Her Brain
 Somewhere in her school days, Evelyn Taylor, the daughter of for mer state senator, had learned the adage about brain being mightier than brawn. "Oh, I'm so glad you're here." she exclaimed when she found a strange man In her apartment the other night you're the gentleman from the flat next door, aren't your Then, casting a glance over the dis ordered room: When did the bur glars leave? It was awfully good of you to come to investigate. Would you mind going through the place with me to see it any burglar Is hid ing in closet? Then we can go down and notify the janitor-it's mighty nice of you"-and so on nerv- ously but nervily until she brought up in the janitor's office and handed the intruder over to that functionary and over to the police.
 A burglar has to think fast nova days. But the New York woman is not always to be found among the burgled, Occasionally she bobs up smiling and defiant among the bur gling. Miss Belle Elites and Miss Margaret McCann have admitted their connection with a $50,000 jewel robbery and are still in process of telling the police about it. The girls, who are stylishly dressed-and why shouldn't they be?--said that several of their young men friends thought 1t would be fun to take the gems away from summer people on Long Island, so the girls helped by moral support and by guarding the plum der. The police might not yet have found out the culprits if it had not been for curious bit of psychology on the part of the Plites girl. She loved one member of the gang and resented the advances of another. Therefore, she hurried to the district attorney and told him enough to inn plicate the undesirable swain and to represent the man of her choice as the whitest white lamb a cruel world had ever wronged.

----------s --ss---------------------- EDUCATIONAL THEATRE

Oliver M Sayler, in the North Ameri-
 can Review.
 America is rife with experiments leading toward a more vividly emo tional theatre. Results are finally appearing from the leaven introduced by Craig's writings, by rumors from Moscow, by the fleeting glimpses Of Reinhardt's sumurun. by the return of observant travellers, like Robert Edmond Jones. Sam Hume, Kenneth Mcgowan and Hiram K. Moderweli, by Sheldon Chency's intuitive inter pretation of men and methods from afar, by tho chronicles of the Bos- ton Transcript under II. T. Parker. and the Theatre Arts Ma gazine, and by the advent of Joseph Urban to work among us. A movement for eign in it's sources and its inspiration Is in process of becoming thoroughly and honestly American. Its imita- tive period is passing without the development of original native ideas. with the increasing assurance of hands apprenticed abroad. with the growing freedom and expanding numbers of independent groups like the Theatre Guild and the Province town Players in New York. and with the tolerance which the commercial theatre Is beginning to extend to new ideas.
 So far as. the new movement fin the American theatre has been i'm telligently conscious of it's aims, It has found expression almost wholly in the work of its scenic artists. The designers have progressed more rapidly than the writers and actors and producers of plays. Unless these other partners in the problem awake to their opportunities and responsi- bilities, unless they provide the de- signers with something to challenge
 their impatient powers. another in- stance may be added to the long rec ord of artistic miscarriages due to the failure of all the necessary com potent elements to appear at the same time. It will not do for the
 scenic artists to rest on their oars and wait for the others to catch up with them, for their gifts would then be atrophied. Either they will have
 to stimulate their co-workers with some of their own enthusiasm or they will have to learn the other crafts of the theatre and perform the whole task themselves.
 There is evidence today that botf
 of these processes are under way l Already. we have producer in tho heart of Broadway, Arthur Hopkins I who is facing the problem of mak' ling the theatre more dynamic. not ir
 a weakly initiative way, but with the stubborn belief that We can con tfiye our own solution.

 New York, october 29.--It would delight the soul of any Turk to go up on tho roof of Madison Square Garden these crisp October mornings Fourteen women, none weighing less than 1s0 pounds, are making the gar den shake with their efforts to re- duce. Unfortunately, the average New Yorker is not such an admirer of plumpness as is the average Otto man; hence these waving arms and kicking legs and panting lungs. Round and round the open-air track go some 2,6oO pounds of determina- tion. and slowly waist line grows where none gyw before. Another proof, this, of the modern New York woman's deEermination to keep young and aglI2r Paris decrees a slim out line. Very well. Sims the word A pf1mp beauty has a fat chance of lfing popular in these anaemic times.
 Nor is it only for the sak4 of style that a New York woman needs to keep 1.-the and Timber. Apparently the burglars union has not noticed Mayor Hylans assurance about the end of the local crime wave. More briskly than ever the holdup man.

He became convinced of il when two men appeared and one of them thrust q revolver into the Kcis- berg vest while the other seized the cash register. By-standers paused to watch the drama and somebody thought to send for a policeman. At this point, one intruder dropped the cash register while the other dropped the revolver and both dashed out 10 a waiting taxi one jump ahead of the patrolman. By-standers saw a de- mure damsel pick up the discarded gun and walk quickly away with it. Such was their chivalry that nobody thought to detain her.
 Doubtless the young lady. and the young men also, had trouble with :hoir thyroid glands. This, accord ing to several physicians, was all that allied Edna Wilsey, the 1S-year- old student nurse who some weeks ago stole dress from another nurse. An enlarged gland was held respon- sible for Edna's misdeed. The judge seemed to pin no faith to tho thyroid idea, but when assured that reduc- ing Ednas gland would increase Bdnas integrity, the judge put her on probation.
 Lou TeIlegen Burgiart
 Nobody dreamed that burglary would be mentioned in the same breath with the Appollo like Lou Tellegen. But the first broadside fired by counsel for Geraldine Farrar in her soonto-be famous divorce suit contained the assertion that once upon a time Lou was arrested in Paris on an accusation of burglary This starts the suit off splendidly and fans who feared 1t might be eclipsed by the Stillman case have begun to be optimistic. Yet the re- criminatory repartee usual on such an occasion leads the non-artistic layman to wonder why artists don't dig up all these interesting records before marriage instead of afterward Of course, 1t is one thing to be ac- cused of a crime, and another to be guilty. The Ylvacious Geraldine her self was accused of assault and bat tery on art when she bounced an orange or some other knickknack on the brow of her rival in a riotously realistic interpretation of Carmen"

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER

Applicants For Insurance Often

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue. cessful In overcoming these condt. tions.

 An examining physician for one or the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state. ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are reiect- ed Is because kidney trouble Is n common to the American people. and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

Mrs. Kaber has been confined to her room in the reformatOry, barred from even the meager privileges That are accorded to wards of the state.
 Of course the reformatory manage ment had nothing to do with the rians for dramatizing Mrs. Kabers life story. By means of dishonest matron. who she told she had been prepared to stop at nothing to es- caIe from the institution. She said Sn offer of $50,OOO had been made to her by a film concern for the rights to film her life story.
 "She said she planned to spend $l5,000 of this effecting her escape Five thousand of it was 10 go to the matron, who had been mailing her letters; another $5,000 was to 'e set aside to bribe me, and the third $5.C00 was to go to Governor Harr L. Davis if he would accept it.
