4 HEALTH TALK.

An airplnne flies high over the
citD. People look UP. There is a
daring man." some think, and then
they pass along in the ordinary pur-
suits of life.
So it is when people hear of those
who take Turkish, Roman or Rus
sian baths regularly. Others hear of
it, give passing thought and then
pass along the ordinary tenure Of
life.
There are thousands who have
never dared, the air flight
There are thousands who day af-
ter day perform the ordinary duties
and Iabors that were performed by
their forefa&herS. They do not know
how the afrplanist feels or the eX-
filtration o. the Turkish bather. Yet
once they have tried, they seldom
fail to continue.

Orange County, California, is a
tough place to get pinched for speed
ing. They are dead set against fast
roadwork there, and there are no
fines, only prison sentenced. So
when Bebe Daniels was stopped go

Miss Daniels wrote her impressions of
her trial and ten days in Jail for
Photoplay Magazine and some of her
meditatiOns during her term follows:
while they were going into the
details Of my shame, 1 took a good
look at the judge-my first. A little,
cocky man, with a face not unlike

weather-beaten, belligerent old face,
with its top knot of outstanding red
hair, and the snappy blue eyes behind
gold trimmed Specta cleS which he
looked over, under or through impair
tally, made me think he might be a
nice man on a party.

For several days following my first
meeting with Vars friends, the Pet
tingi1ls, did little but proudly assist
Val in showing 1.-The city, to the dear
little old ladyI I found myself calling
AUNT MoIlie" as naturally as If Ia
known her since christening days.
Jim struck up great friendship
with Uncle Ned, and we six had the
jouiest, most care-free time that has
fallen to my lot in ages. 1t was tenn
porarily interrupted when Uncle Ned
invited the four children" = as ne
called uS-off for weekend Jaunt,
and Jim had to resign at the last min
ute because of business
That left me with an unoccupled
Saturday on my hands, and bethlnk-
ing myself that hadn't seen Carlotta
for ages l telephoned her and SuS-
gested luncheon engagement
Hardly had We concluded arrange
ments when my telephone summoned
me to a conversation with some one
who felt about me just as I'd been
feeling about Carlotta. 1t was An
thony Norreys clamoring for sight
of his long unseen friend.
IF Jim can finish an important
business deal we're going out of town
tomorrow and Join som e friends.
And we've plans for tonight. That
leaves this afternoon. I'm lunchlng
with Carlotta Sturges- Want to pick

vided always that you beg and inn

Il beg and implore," replied 1T
will be jolly to have you with us. L
know Carlotta will like seeing you
again.
After I'd said good-by and had
hung up the receiver, 1 wondered
why I'd said that. AS a matter of
fact, / couldn't remember that Car
lotta had ever mentioned Anthony
Norreys since the old Canteen days
when he dropped in on us so often
And except for these casual meetings
they had nothing in common. I'd
never heard Carlotta comment on
Tony, but I felt sure that no one
could mind having him brought in TO
break up a tete-a-tete. On the other
hand, Tony had once called Carlotta
"a brick"

meeting five minutes ahead of time,

and coming over to shake my hand
as if he had decided that was worth
knowing. Then he turned to the little
old wife with courtly dignity May

up from the stocking heel to flash
him a glance of affection and under
standing that was like a benedic-
ton.
Il take it were all friends" he
said, and the compelling glance of
his keen eyes would probably have
made a traitor get up and stink from
the room. We'll, Mol1ie and me
met up with this Mason woman when
we were vacatiOning at that swell
resort-Atlantic City. And she kinda
taking to some of the folks we was
with, put up with the old gent and
his bride, too

starts on our Val. All she could

's'Twas Ned's idea" protested Aunt
Mollte. 1--WE figgered out that this
woman didn't understand our Val |
never would. SO we just thought |
that SEEM as how we've known and |
loved our Val a number of years |
we'd come to where she lives and |
put anyone that doesn't understand |
her, on the right path. And at the |
same time, we thought we'd find out |

you get 'em worked up for fear |
you'll kind of reveal the ways of their |

At this point, Val spoke And
now the cream of her voice had deep
ened and had the thrill of simple
devotion Everything about her re-
vealed a primitive, unspoiled woman
such as I had never glimpsed-even
when 1 saw her at her best.
"Anne, have you listened to them :?

truest friends in the world telling
their idea of service? They're going II
to leave the ranch they adore and
