and they all made a rush to seize our
throats.
They at last succeeded in Selling
our Threats but it only tickled us,
which made us laugh. They were furi-
when they say us laughing for
they thot that we were dead already.
When the king saw them so eagerly
trying to kill us he told them not to
for we were as stout as mounds.
When | told the king that we were
even stronger than mounds. He
wanted me to prove it. So | crept in
to the old mound and called for Will
owls. He came in a flash and asked
me what | wanted and l told him that
| wanted to be a human being. He
waved his wing and l felt myself
growing upward. When l was my
full grown size the mound burst open
and it brighten all the ants except one
which l knew was Jimmy. l hollered

Enid Bennett

triumph in her latest Paramount pic
ture, silk Hosiery" This dainty star
never has been seer to finer advan-
tage than in this delightful romantic
p%hotoplay.
Miss Bennett is seen as a model in
a fashionable modiste's shop and be-
cause of this, the women spectators
were treated to a veritable fashion
show. The heroine is of a romantic
turn of mind and when she arrays
herself in a customers gown and be-
gins to dream of love and wealth,
some startling things happen. There
is plenty of and thrills in the
action, but the finale must not be dis
closed.
The picture is one of the pest in
which Miss Bennett has appeared in
many months.
Hobart BosWorth
Hobart Bosworth, of "Sea WOLF
fame, will be seen on Maui in his lat
est starring vehicle, "a Thousand to
One"
In this production the virile star is
cen as the dilletante, the sportsman,
the waster. This new Bosworth char
acterization e~xemplifies his versatility
and gives the audience ample oppor-
tunity to judge their favorite in a diff
ferent light.
However, the entire picture is not
devoted entirely to this type of char
a~cterization, for Bosworth is seen also
in the toys of the miner, the man of
strength, the lover of the great out-of-
doors, and it is then that the audience
will be able to compare the stars ex-
tremely different characteriations.
Miss Ethel Grey Terry, the popular
English actress, plays the leading
feminine role.
"Veiled Mystery"
Lovers OF mysteries and fascinating
intrigue of either screen or fiction will
find much to appreciate in THE
Yelled Mystery" latest V%itagraph Sc
rial thriller.
Their is a sinister parsonage in this
gripping story-a villainous, crafty
person who works but for the undoing
of the hero, played by popular Anto-
MO Moreno. This parsonage is pre-
as a yelled woman, and while
the spectator will know that she is
merely another character of the story
in disguise, there will be much room
for speculation as to her real identity.
The yelled woman is one of the
leading figures in the story and at
tempts any number of willy and fiend-
ish tricks against the hero and his
sweetheart, played by charming Paul
inc Curley.
1.-THE Strongest"
Georges ~Clemenceau, "the Tiger of
France" wrote THE Strongest" and
he has set a new standard for screen
authors to follow.
The characters in the beautiful and
convincing playa real love story
are human; the situations in which
they find themselves, and the conclu-
sion, the climax, are not forced. To
the author there is some good in
everyone and some bad in everyone.
The hero is not a perfect man who
can do no wrong, the villain is not al
ways incapable of right. The heroine,
charmingly portrayed by Renee AID
Gree, a beautiful French actress,
makes mistakes.
Much of the great strength of the
production undoubtedly lies in the fin
ished performances given by the cast
of international favorites William Fox
has given to R. A. Walsh, the direc-
tor. Carlo Liten, "the Sir Henry Irv-
ing of Belgium" they call him in Eu-
rope, gives a powerful performance of
the Marquis, and Harrison Hunter,
who makes his screen debut, is the
steel king.

Adventures in Ant Land

(Dy Eddie Wong, 18th Grade, Paia
School.) 4
One bright and sunny day Jimmy
and went out to play in a little
piece of woodland behind Jimmy's
house. We brought our lunches with
us for we intended to stay there a
whole day.
Jimmy's lunch bag was very heavy
and | asked him what was in it but
he would not tell me. We roamed
the forest until it was twelve o'clock
for Jimmy had a wrist watch.) Than
we sat down to eat our lunch.
After we had finished eating Jimmy
brought out a big red book with fairy
stories in it, And he said to me,
This is what made my bag so heavy"
| was disguised when l saw it was a
book, for | thought he had brought a
gun or a revolver.
We read until presently we were in
the midst of a story called, Alibaba
and the Forty Thieves" And when
we came to the part that said open
sesame" 1t made our hair stand up
After a moment or two of hesita-
ton Jimmy said 81 wish this sort of
a thing would happen in America"
We'll who Knows" said l, perhaps
it does"
Lets try" said Jimmy. So we did.
Jimmy started it first by saying,
open Sesamy" but but nothing hap
pened.
Then l said, "Oo-ber-goo-ber-gab-er-
bee.
What ever does that all mean"
piped Jimmy.
Il do not know for you see all
magic words begins like that"
After that we said all the queerest
and outlandish words we could think
of.
Observation-Disclosures = boo : lin,'
shouted Jimmy.
"Quin = ter quin = quin : min = niny'
said l.
Standardization"
"Willter-wall-er-wing."
"A-bill-er-kiss."
"Will-o-wis-pie."
Just then a light appeared but was
gone in a second. 1--WE nearly got it
that time," said Jimmy. Lets change
it a little.
SO | asid, "Will-o-wis-pie-lin." Hard
ly were the words out of my mouth
when a little fairy stood before us de-
handing what we wanted and she told
us that we shall have three wishes.
We told the fairy that we wanted
to be black ants. She waved her
wing thrice and we found ourselves
growing smaller. "Oh!" said Jimmy,
l I'm growing So" ooh keep quiet
said |, "Or we will loose our wishes"
We grew till we were as small as
an ant. Then l felt something push
ing my waist and l was dumb strick-
en- when l saw that it was a pair of
legs for an ant has eight legs. Jimmy
felt that surely his intestines were
bursting when his legs came out of
his waist and gave a scream
After we took the shapes of ants
we journeyed to the ant hills. When
we got there the ants were trying to
make a new mound. At first we watch
ed the workers. When the boss saw
us looking around, he sem his guard
to a k us to prison to be arrested.
Although we were ants we had the
strength of an American boy and
could in and do work as fast also.
The guard bound us with horse
hair but with a snap we burst the
horse hair. The guard vas dazzled
at the sight for horse hair is as strong
to them as iron chains to us. We
walked back to the half built mound
while the guard told the ant king
all about it. The guard came back
this time with the king. When the
king say us working with such rapid
ity, for we built the rest of the mound
within five minutes, he thanked us
for it. The other ants were Jealous

PRIZE MASCULINE BREAD
MAKER
In a Contest at Fair in Evanston,
ILL.,, Mere Man Won First
Prize.

There was a bread making contest
the other day at the fair held at
Evanston, III. Quite a number Of
women took part and there was
more or less hilarity when it be-
came known that mere man was
also in the contest The hilarity
turned to wonder and dismay when
it became known that the said mere
man had won first prize.
There need be less surprise when
it is understood that bread-making
is, in the older countries, very large

people have obtained their loaves for
centuries from bakeries and the
bakers were ordinarily of the mas
culine gender. For long time, on

when a Joker Jokes in Heredity

Our newspaper jokesmiths had bet
GER take care these days that they
have their science on straight when
they dash off a funny one involving
natures laws. Here's a supposedly
funny joke that loses all its wit when
it is run down and examined:
First Citizen: "Do you believe il
heredity?"
Second Citizen: "of course / do,
I've got one of the brightest boys
IN the world"
The point the Joke maker wanted
to put over is that the boy got his
brightness from ais father, rAe
said Second Citizen. But nature
doesn't work that way; nOtwith-
standing our ancient misinforEuatiOn
on heredity, boys and girls are not
clever because their own fathers ard
mothers are clever.
All scientists now agree that the
Mendel law of heredity is correct
This because il has been extensively
and thoroughly tested out during the
past half century and has been found
clearly infallible, not only in the
animal kingdom but in the vege-
table world also All the most sue
cessful breeders Of cattle, fowl and
plants now operate under that law,
although many of them don't know
why. Here is why:
BY the Mendel law, the character
istics Of a male decend through his
daughter TO her son. A females
characteristics descend through her
son to his daughter.
There is a lot more to the law
of courss but those two rules are,
in brief, the chief fundamentals.
Hence, if our Mr.. Jokesmith will
kindly permit we will revise his joke
thus:
First Citizen: "Do you believe in
heredity?"
Second Citizen: "Of course / do;
my daughters son is one Of the
brightest boys in the world"
