How They made
Up Mrs. Rinehart
For the Movies

Here is Mary Roberts Hineharts
the famous authoress. description OF
how a feminine expert made her up
for the movies:
(a) She covered my face with a
thick layer of grease paint. Grease
paint is cream-co-lored and looks like
a stick of shaving soap. 1t obliterated
the fine lines around my eyes which
/ like to think are the result of not
wearing glasses, and gave me an enig-
NAUTICAL and battling expression which
is quite foreign to me.
(b) She placed over that a thick
layer of yellow powder. l immediate
ly took on a jaundiced look, with a
tinge of malaria, and my face felt
as mobile as the hood of an automo-
bile,
(c) She took a brush and removed
the powder from my eyebrows and
lashes.

A Few Notes On
American Women

Here are few notes on American
women made by Senior V. Blasco iba-
nez:
american business men pay for
their conquest of wealth by never
knowing what true love is
"The American business man chases
dollars all day away from home; and,
at night, when he comes to look for
little rest he finds it at his club-talk-
ing business with his friends.
"The wife of the American business
man. surrounded as she is by every
comfort and every luxury, lives a
dreary, solitary life at home. To es-
cape from it, she also goes to her CLUB,
and lives among women, as her nus
band lives among men. Thus, with
the two sexes separated for the great
err part of the time, the women come
TO depend on themselves or other wo-
men. and a sort of hostility against
men grows up, much as the women IN
a harem come finally to hate their
tyrant. That is why the United States
alone shows more divorces among peo-
ple in comfortable circumstances than
any other country on earth.
"In other nations, husband and wire
have less money, but they see more
of each other. The wife is not so lux
uriously supported, but she is more
carefully tended, by her husband.
even poor couples in the United
States live most of their lives apart.
Roth husband and wife work all day
long, and by evening they feel more
need of sleep than of love.
"True love is the child OF peace
ful circumstances and of the hour OF
idleness. 1t requires imagination, i'm
agination that is free from care and
able to dream and create illusions.
Love is impossible without magma
ton. Unable to dream and build its
fairy castles if illusion, love is nothing
but a mechanical association, legal
incorporation founded for doing some
thing that everyone else has done be-
fore you"

Some Samples of
Foolish Questions

Here are ten words Can pou spell
them them? They were taken from
lists used in the seventh grade of a
public school,
l. Ambition. g. Bergamot 8. Deut-
zia. 4. Daguereotype. 5. Paradigm. 6.
Reconnaissance. 7. E,rysipelas. 8.
Mnemonics. 9. Trichinae. TO- Weig-
ella.
One of eleven able men succeeded
in spelling six words correctly. Three
were able to spell four words, two got
three right, one got two, three spelled
only one correctly, and one failed on
every word. AS Leonard P. Ayres of
the Russell Sage Foundation says:
ct is not surprising that they
failed so completely, for no citizen in
any ordinary walk of life needs to
know how to spell these words. When
the rare occasion arises that he needs
to write one of them, he looks it up
in the dictionary"
And he added: Some of the chill
dren in the schools can spell these
words correctly; but, while they are
laboriously Tearing to 90 it, many of
them are still unable to spell such
short and common words as which,
separate" and receive
The following test in geography was
taken from the sixth grade work as
prescribed by the revised course of
study, and consisted of five questions
included in the new course. These
questions are:
l. What is the distance in degrees
from Portugal to the Ural Mountains?
2. How many miles long is South
America?
8. Name the capital of Montenegro?
4. Locate the desert of Atacama.
5. Where is the Pamir Plateau?
One of the eleven men was able to
answer the third question. All the
rest of them failed on all five ques-
tions!

(e) She rubbed black paste into

my lips. Which necessitated doing
my cupid's bow again.
(f) She produced tiny frying pan
some three inches across and filled
with black solid. Under this she
burned three matches, while watched
her with apprehension. When the
black material had melted into the
consistency and appearance of the tar
used for repairing roadways, she stuck
a brush into it and approached me.
What are you going to do now?'
demanded in alarm.
Bead you eyelashes,' she said
briskly. "Close your eyes.
The process consisted OF painting
nv eyelashes with the tar, which then
ran down and CONCEALED in small black
tears on the end of each lash. The
effect was ravishing, from distance,
and l brought the frying pan home
with me. When think of the wasted

Squirrels VS.. Owls

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-Whether or not
screech owls are to share home with
Public Square squirrels will be deter
mined by Alderman Frank B. Brown
when Policeman Charles Bart, of the
local police force, appears before him
to answer a charge of shooting and
killing an owl in a tree on Public
Square, December 6. The charge was
preferred by Herbert w. Bey, secre-
tary of the Wyoming Audubon Society
in behalf of the organization.
It is the contention of the police
that the bird was nuisance and was
preying upon the squirrels which city
are doing all in their power to pro-
tect.
Inasmuch as he is authorized to
shoot dogs running at large and annoy
ing the squirrels, Officer Bert felt tina,
he had right to shoot the feathered
enemy of the little animals. Acting
on that assumption, he killed the owl
On the other hand, the society says
that the bird is protected and that
the officer violated the law in killing
it, regardless of whether or not the
owl was preying upon the squirrels.
1t is a case of the squirrels against the
