little miss who is we'll known for
her remarkably clever Italian, Chi

she pours tea On her afternoons at

power of music to arouse emotions
which are visible through facial

In no case has this been so eff

Seena to fake an expression of mis-

who believes in realism, produced
real grief and misery
First he selected the most mourn

of Herbert Randolph, who attains
the position of GoFeFnor-GeneFal OF

her. She leaves him, and north

frey she has persisted.
Randolph finds Julie uncon-
scious in the SHOWS and takes her to
his cabin. They are snowbound
there for six weeks, situation
which makes Geoffrey's wide search
for her futile. Randolph falls in
love with her, and Julie to protect
the good name of her baby consents
to marry him.
When Julie meets Godfrey again
he holds Randolph's happiness

gives most satisfactory ending to

Agnes Ayres Sues for Divorce.

Agnes Ayres didn't plan a dual
role for herself when she began
staging her play for a divorce from
her husband. Frank R. Schucker of
Brooklyn, but that is the way it de-
veldped. She went in to court as
Agnes Schucker, seeking a divorce
on the ground of non-suppcrt, her
mother testifying that she had sup
ported Agnes for year. The judge
granted the divorce. Shortly after
she was. recognized as Agnes AyTes,
a high-priced film star, and the di-
vOrce decree was promptly rescind-
ed. But the court indicated that
she probably had good cause for di-
vorce on the ground Of desertion, so
Agnes went back to court as Agnes
Ayres and entered pleaA accordingly
Now she is awaiting the courts
pleasure in the case.

Harding Ending
World Discord.
Says Coolidge
Speaks at Birthplace of
Mckinley. w here Bust
of President Is Unveiled;
Calls the Two Men Alike
Praises Foreign Policy
Nation Does Not Realize How
Firm a Basis for Peace
Has Been Laid, He Asserts

NILES, Ohio, June 1s.-Impressive
ceremonies marked the unveiling here
to-day of bronze bust of President
Warren G. Harding at the Mckinley
Memorial.
From platform In front of the
memorial addresses were made by Vice
President Coolidge, Secretary of Labor
James J. Davis, Governor Harry L.
Davis OF Ohio and Congressman John
G. Cooper, of Youngstown.
The bust of the President, veiled by
a large American flag, stood at the
entrance of the pergola before the
large marble statue of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. Following the address
by the Vice President, Mrs. j. D. Wad-
dell, wife of the president of the Niles
Chamber of Commerce, unveiled the
bust.
President Harding's attitude in paci-
flying Europe has been far greater
influence than is yet realized, not
through entanglements, but by holding
to that strictly American policy, so
we'll expressed in the dispatches to
foreign governments, Vice-President
Coolidge told the audience.
Urges Patience and Harmony
The President pleaded for pa
tience, pacifcation and harmony in
solving the problems of reconstruction,
and asked his hearers to hallow the
memory of Mckinley, who so greatly
desired them in the past, by supporting
New-York tribune., 1921-06-19


message of harmony to employers and
employees OF America.
Recalling the fact that more than
twenty years ago he had worked as a
puddler in a Niles steel mill, Mr.. Davis
said:
My message to you is to organize
and work in harmony, Stop fighting
and trying to put something over on
each other. Stop advocating the doe
trine of hatred for each other. You,
employees, call your employer the
greatest employer in the world. And,
Likewise, let the employer frankly say
OF his men that they are the greatest
workmen in the world BY working to-
gether we will sell the world Americas 8
products That is the only acceptable
way Of putting it over"
Mr. Davis praised McKinley's policy
of protective tariff, which, he said,
was responsible for the establishment
of the tinplate industry in this coun-
try. Recalling the hard times of 1892,
he urged the men out Of work to "try
the farms and don't wait for your spe-
cial work to start"
The bust of President Harding is to
be put on its permanent pedestal in the
Court of Honor between those of David
Todd, former Governor of Ohio, and
Cornelius N. Bliss, former Secretary of
the Interior, On the pedestal is this
inscriptions:
"Warren G. Harding, born Corsica,
Ohio, November 2, 1865, twenty-ninth
President of the United States. Elected
November 9, 1920"
