AT THE THEATRE

Fate is oftimes the cruelest of ies-
tiers. Jacqueline Floriot's piteous life
story bears vivid evidence Of this.
Turned from her home and family by
her remorseless husband, a deputy at
torney of Paris, she is unable TO es-
cape the dread shadow of. fate that
crosses her baffled footsteps with ever
increasing menace. Fate. i'm the guise
of her husbands unjust suspicious
denies her the right to sse her n;fate
places IN her hands the weapon which
destroys a blackmailer who would
ruin the career Of her husband. now
Judge; and fate brings her before
the bar Of justice where her husband
presides and places her fight for life
IN the hands of her son-counsel for
the defence. And having played
trumps q the last, fate plays its joker
the highest card Of all-death. Paul
inc Frederick in the role Of Jacaueline
tloriot brings an emotional art TO
the screen more intensified than any
ever displayed by this popular star.
You may have seen the stage verson
of this famous play-most everyone
has, now see Goldwyn's masterful,
heartt-touching perturbation.

is MONEY A BLESSING?

Some of it is, and some of it every
one gets. Our modern civilization
provides that everyone shall have
some, at least as much as he lawfully
earns. But it also provides that
men of certain qualifications shall
have the opportunity to amass large
fortunes. We seem to have many
men with such qualifications. 1t is
said that there are three men in this
country who have an annual income
of five million dollars or more, that
there are thirty-three men who have
an annual income of one million, and
twenty six thousand who have an in
come of forty thousand each. OBJ
serve that these sums indicate not
their wealth but their annual income.
Are these great fortunes bless
ing to the men who possess them
Does money improve mans charac-
ter? Did you ever know a man who
was better man for becoming rich?
/ fear that the ordinary effect is just
the opposite.
Dean Swift once said, eve can see
what the Lord thinks of money by
the class of people he gives it to-"
That statement was made about a
hundred and fifty years ago, but
human nature has not changed very
much in that time. We have recent
ly had an illustration of the influ-
ence of money on the common labor
ing man. Men who received from
eight to fifteen dollars a day were
not generally improved in character
by what they received. Many Of
them not only expended their money
foolishly on silk shirts, rich furni-
ture and automobiles, but they came
to feel that it was good to cheat
their employers by doing as little
work as possible in a day.
What ought to be the effect Of
money on the highest type of man?
Suppose that Socrates or st. Paul
had suddenly come into possession Of
a million dollars. What would he
have done with it? Would he have
built a great house in Athens or
Jerusalem and filled it with servants
and then taken his ease? BY no
means. Yet that is what the aver
age American would have done. But
not the real super-man. He would
not have changed his manner ot
life. Paul and Socrates would still
have lived in poverty and self-denial
and have used their money in reliev-
ing the immense distressing poverty
which they saw all about them.
Emerson says that Macaulay's
idea of good was goods. That is
terrible indictment as if there were
no good that cannot be measured in
goods. 4
Money is a blessing When it is
used for blessed purposes. Is there
any better use for it than that which
is just now occupying the thoughts
Of this community, viz: the support
of Alma College, an institution which
has for more than thirty years been

Supervision of Private Schools.

The senate has adopted the bilfto
create a state conservation depart
ment. previously passed by the house,
and IL has gone TO the governor for
his signature, with an immediate eff
feet clause attached. This is one of
the reorganization measures fostered
by Gov. Groesbeck. 1t combines in
the one department the present pub
lie domain commission, the state fish
commission, the game department
forest fire department, state park COM
mission and Mackinac Island commits
sion.
A bill to place all private and
parochial schools under the supervi-
sion of the state department Of public
instruction caused rather lively pub
lie hearing at which the bill was at
tackled as unconstitutional. Among
the speakers against the bill was
James Hamilton, of Detroit, leader OF
the forces favoring the constitutional
amendment, defeated last fall, which
proposed TO abolish private and
parochial schools. Trained nurses APP
peared at another hearing in opposi-
ton to a bill to provide for the reg
istration of practical nurses" under
the title of trained attendants.
Final departure of Michigan's glory
as a lumber state would seem to be
emphasized If bill introduced by
Rep. Robinson is made law. The
bill aims to prohibit the use of wooden
shingles on any building put up in
Michigan after next year.
