The Tradition of Large Families.

When the harried Chief Executive

father of sixteen children the first
thought of the average observer is of
the vast numbers of other families in
similar straits and the impossibility
of obtaining special treatment for
them all. Mr.. Domenico Zacchea may
receive few more dollars a week
through President Harding's interces-
sion, but the fathers and mothers of
the majority of large families must
stand on their own feet and face the
world with unusual responsibilities
as best they can.
Under the old economic order. six
teen children were an asset instead
of liability. When the country was
sparsely populated and opportuni-
ties grew on every bush, children
were like money in the bank. Com.

From Anderson, through Iva and

"COOD-BAD WIFE" IS
REAL SLICE OF LIFE
Charming Photoplay Which viii Show
at comique Comes From Hand of
Unknown Genius.

When a slice Of life is realistically
portrayed on the screen, as it is in
THE Good Bad Wife," which began an
beginning wednesday and Thursday,
one is impe,led to ask the name and
origin of its director. In the present
case we find it is not that of a we'll
known motion picture figure, but of a
woman whose name has not yet been
heretofore identified with the screen.
Certain 1t is. however, that it is des-
tined to continue its association with
the silent drama, for the mastery. skill
and knowledge of entertainment val
ues indicated in "The Good-Bad Wife"
are an augury of better things to come
from the hand and mind Of this unknwn
directorial genius. Vera McCord.
While the woman responsible for the
creation Of this bewitchingly human
six-reel document is practically I'M
known to motion picture audiences, yet
she is very we'll known to the public
Of the legitimate stage, as she has
successfully appeared as leading sup
port for some of the foremost male
stars both in New York and London,
notably E. H. Sothern and Mr.. Beer
bohm Tree.
Miss McCord approached the max
ing Of picture production in a most
careful and painstaking manner, de-
voting nearly two years to the study
of studio and camera work before en-
barking into the field of production as
an independent producer and director.
The photoplay has been charmingIy
developed to appeal to both sexes Of
every age. and provides a photoplay
that varies from humor to pathos, and
from tragedy to comedy with the prac-
tieed and inspired touch of genius.

canal during the fiscal year ended

British ships were second, and sur
passed even the high marks OF 1917,

a total of 3,738.250 tons.
Japan and Norway took third and
fourth places. with 75S.600 and 1880
