MARY PIcKFoRp
 UNKNOWN IN. POLAND

For five months I have not seen a single English or American photo play, writes David Dainow from War saw to the London News. I have not seen Charlie Chaplin nor have I met a person who has heard of Mary Pickford. Why English or American films are never exhibited here l do not know, for the motion picture theater in Poland is taken in tre- mendously serious fashion.
 The art of the movie is looked upon as one of the highest and only plays of serious intent are produced. Film farces are practically unknown.
 The prices prevailing at the "Kino" houses are the same as the ordinary Polish theaters, but the picture per- formance never lasts more than an hour and quarter. There is then a considerable interval. and fresh audience arrives to witness the same picture. The idea of demanding a two or two and one-half hours entertain ment never occurs to the Pole.
 The Polish film shows remarkable progress of a new industry in x young republic until lately still in { state of war. There is fine acting material and excellent photography It is evident that none of these play. could ever be produced before ar Anglo Saxon audience. There is ar intimacy about them which wouls

 It was during one of these rests that he heard footsteps and then a dreadful sound that made cold chills run all over him. Sniff, sniff. sniff! It was coming nearer. Grandfather Frog flattened himself down as close to the ground as he could get. But 1t was of no use-no use at all. The sniffing came nearer and nearer. and then right over him stood Bowser the Hound! Bowser looked just as much surprised as he felt. He put out one paw and turned Grandfather Frog over on his back. Grandfather Frog struggled to his feet and made two frightened jumps.

Most men of 64 pre- fer their pipes and fireSide to the things that appeal to women Of 4u-' And that is the time when the diff ference in age entails many sacrifices on the part of both. The trouble is that the conceding is very likely to be one sided. Age will not dance to youths piping. It is youth, usually, that must make the sacrifice. At A it is the man, and he may not be unsuited emotionally or in any other way to a girl 20 years younger. He may still have the ardor, the fer vor of a young lover. He may still have the dreams and aspirations that are youth. But he will not always be A. And 1t is when you approach the age at which he is now, when you are A and he is 6S, that you will have to struggle to retain the
 community of interest that is yours today.
 One of the most wonderful things about married couple is the common hope, the striving together. At A a man may still dream and aspire, but | the time is close at hand when he will look upon what he has done
 rather than to what he will do. Of
 course, marriage brings other com mon interests that will withstand the

You see, he never before had made more than few jumps at a time without resting, and his legs were not used to it. So they grew tired in a very little while.

 The job undertaken by the six col small proportions; they propose "to clean up the Ottoman capital And what is more, advices from the unit indicate that American elbow grease and a Yankee application of the old soap and water method is coming pretty close to accomplishing a large part of the task.
 Tidying up the terrible Turk calls for a large organization as well as zeal and determination. One hundred and fifty assistants work with the girls, fare work, personal hygiene, conduct ing medical clinics, distributing food and supplies, and carrying on a dozen other jobs of a. nature distinctly for eign to the Turkish temperament. Three thousand families are under the
 units watchfu1 eye. Neutral House is
 the centre established by the unit as clearing house for orphans.
 Six States are represented in the group. Miss Mabelle c. Phillips, di- rector of the unit, comes from Plain is from Wallaston, Mass; Miss Olive Smith, from Plattsburgh, N. Y; Miss Isabel H. Carter, from Yarmouth, Me; Dr. Ellie Graf, from Wyoming, Ohio, and Miss Glee L. Hastings, from Spencer, Iowa.
