mind tends toward the better things,

the director of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..

with real reverence and fidelity to the
author. This boy. Tommy, known
practically all over the world, is uni
versally beloved. for in his limitlcss
imagination, his love of adventure and
his "foxiness," many youth sees, his
counterpart. The production carries
him from childhood, to maturity, with
his childhood sweetheart, the serious
minded Grizel, always dominating

story and lovers of art.

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

They loved the English hedgerows
And scented English lanes;
They loved the sunlight on their
downs
And the soft English rains.
And now-they sleep in Flanders
Or where the sad Marne flows.
A bleak white cross above their
heads;
Their names-ah, no one knows
With lights that cleaned like
pearls,
And theaters and taverns
And rosy English girls.
Their youth was a brief glory
That sped too swiftly by;
They left their schools and cricket
And came out hereto die.
And some were shining poets,
And some were simple boys
Who loved the Surry fields and
Substantial English joys.
From Elton and from Oxford
From many an English town
They came to save a world from
shame
And lay their young lives down.
In some celestial garden
Perhaps they sit today
And laugh as they once loved to
laugh,
Play as they used to play.
'Tis we who weep for young lads
But they-they are not dead,
Though simple crosses stand above
Each brave young English head.
They loved, and are contented
On windy wastes to sleep.
I Yet when the English daisies
Begin to smile and creep.
Pluck them and take them over
To many lonely grave:
For they loved English flowers,
These young, and bright, and
brave.

Plans were taken up for the renting

SkETCHES:--By a Newspaper Man

It's startling and a bit interesting
to note the amount of morbidness to
be found among the healthiest Of hu-
mans You've seen an automobile run
a man down. You know he must
be dead his body a mangled mass.
Then the inevitable crowd. drawn as
if by magic, closed in about the scene
1t took armed policemen to drive
back the mob, even to give the injur-
ed man a chance for life. Not one OF
those curious onlookers knew the vic
tim. Always where horrible affairs
happen there is such crowd. the
more awful the affair the bigger the
crowd Certainly there's nothing to
be learned from the sight. and there's
nothing entertaining about it. One

trying to forget, yet a morbid curiosi-
" urges folks on.
I'm a newspaper reporter, and I've
observed such crowds times without
number Now the newspaper man in
stinctively heads toward the scene of
a tragedy, but there's nothing morbid
about his going. He's observed death
in it's various forms. He has learned
to measure it's terribleness with
professional eye. So it's the news IN
stinct that draws a newspaper re-
porter to the place where big story
IS breaking.
One early morning two huge rail
way engines, plowing through close
hung fog with their long strings of
freight cars, met in a terrible collis-
ion. There had been a mistaken sig
nal in the early morning when hu-
man minds are frailest and mistakes
are easiest AS the engines crashed to-
gether, one engine telescoped the 9TH
er, the boiler of one engine encasing
itself in the boiler of the other in ex-
traordinary fashion. Enormous
crowds flOcked to the scene in an in
credibly short space of time. The
sight of those mighty engines locked
e one within the other with the cars
piled in hopeless wreckage on either
side, was startling. But the center of
attraction was not the wreckage. it
was the form of a man lying still, oh
so still, short distance from the
track. About this form the crowds
surged and jostled and strove for a
chance to see the quiet figure in the
Adue clothes of railroad man, blue
overalls grimy from the wearer's en-
gine, and red, red with blood. The
engineer on one of the trains, peering
through the fog, had caught sight of
the other train and shouted to his
fremen, who jumped from the engine
But the engineer did not leave his

to see.
Two or three years ago, in another
newspaper shop in another town, the
city editor gave me an assignment to
cover a suicide A man had hung him

The police chief and l walked around
to the boarding house together. There
were throngs of the curious on the
sidewalk about the house. Their sole
business there was to drink in as
much of the>tragedy that had beer
enacted inside as possible. Big, strong

Temple Triumphant Living Memorial
To American Womanhood.
Plans have been drawn by F. Bur-
rail- Hoffman. Jr., and Murray HOff-
man of New York City for group of
magnificent buildings that will in
themselves be a memorial to Ameri-
can womanhood and most notable
achievement on the part of the mem
bers of the Foundation The main
building is to be the Temple Trium

ing American women through all
the generations of national existence.
| This temple will contain an auditor
! ium seating two thousand persons,
providing an open forum for the wo-
men of the country and a meeting
place for great conventions of women
gathered together to discuss the vital
problems of the day Here also will
be housed the executive offices of the
Foundation and those of other nation
al organizations that may become af-
filiated with it.
Near by is to be the guest house
which will provide ideal accommoda-
itions for visiting members in mod
ern hotel, exclusively for women, al

lbe housed the work rooms. expert

The Woman's National Foundation
intends to promote the education of
women in civic knowledge and rights:

its local centers in every part of the
,cOuntry and thus registering the will
of the women of American; the fost

America a national club home in the
tcapital of the country-an acropolis

problems of women shall receive the
thought and the study that shall lea6
to their solution. A bureau of infor-
nation will be maintained at the
Washington headquarters where ques
Itions concerning the nations busi

Legislation will be accurately and
Iquickly answered. In a word, it will
be a clearing house of woman's acti
vities not interfering with the aims OF
other organizations, but unifying and
lsolidifying the progress of American
women, only possible in an organiZa
tiOn in the capital of the country
free from sectionalism and partisan
Iship. A Capital for Women it has
lbeen aptly named, promoting practi
