How about one up in that build

great bank of apartment houses.
"Oh, that's west" l remarked cas-

What of that?" he asked surprised
"Oh, no one l know lives west

What a snob I AMI I said, "You
see, in this funny city all the people
my aunt knows live on the upper east
side, near the park, and all those she
doesn't want to know live on the
west side. 1t is so silly, isn't it? But
those that live west can't mix with
those that live east, and I suppose
those that live too far up in the city
can't mix with those that live hera
near the drive. Let's live over here
and show them we don't care about
their senseless social distinctions"
But Win had lost all interest in the
west end. He suggested We drive
near my aunt's place
she wouldn't like it if ! took you
too far away from her" was the way
he put it.
So by September, with my aunts

new apartment house.

A PRETTY NOSE

nose is badly shaped because compare

it. That little. of course, is important

But the little that can be done is

which are performed to correct actual
deformities, but only of the things
which every woman herself can do.
First of all the nose can be kept

you will have to treat the affliction To-

to scatter the congested blood. If you
have black-heads you should steam
the nose by holding wet cloths over
it, and then sure cleansing cream, or
better yet, the black-head cleansing
powder. A. certain amount can be
done in the way of keeping the skin

a PROMINENT editorial
L n writer says that the rec
ords of Caruso's wonderful
voice will be enjoyed for a
thousand years, and that this
is close to Immortality.
This wonderful heritage for
posterity is made possible by
the art of industry.
But the art of industry has accom-
plished other things as we'll.
Sixty years ago men found oil in
quantities, from which they pro-
duced light.
The Standard Oil Company took that
oil and, in addition to light, produced
from it, power, and lubricants for the
parts which transmit the power
not to mention hundreds of other
useful products.
Fifty years ago people were delighted
with the Oil which gave them abun-
dant light; but none could foresee
the development which this crock
Oil'' would make possible.
1t was the vision and courage of the
men who founded the Standard Oil
Company that made it possible
for the automotive industry to come
into being.
1t is the ability of the men who
manage the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) of today that has made it
possible for the automobile to develop
from the clumsy vehicle of twenty
years ago to the smoothly-driven
machine of today.
For the Standard Oil Company Qndi-
ana) constantly anticipated demand :
and produced gasoline of such quail '
ity, and in such quantity, and distrib-
uted it in manner so thorough,
that the automotive manufacturer
could produce in large enough guam
titles to keep his product within the
range of the modest purse.
The art of industry is exemplifed in
the achievements of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana), which will live
for centuries and benefit posterity in
a practical way, as the perpetuation
of Caruso's voice will benefit in an
aesthetic way.

Erich Von Strohein,
almost Starved Into
the Movie Game
BY ERICH Won STROHEIM

uOW did start upon my motion pic
IL turc career? BY literally starving
myself into the profession.
For two months and half walked
the five miles between my hotel and
the studio twice daily, getting bungricr
each day. Finally, in my desperation,
! had the temcrity to criticize John
Emerson who was producing "Ghosts.
Having been born and raised among
European royalty and nobility. ] was
family with almost every type of for
cign military decoration. Hence,
could not help, perhaps little bitterly
critirizing the very poor imitation OF
Scandinavian decoration Emerson was
wearing as part of his costume. O..
Emerson, instead Of throwing me out
Of the studio for being so impudent,
asked me to get true reproduction Of
the decoration. With the aid of a SIS
loan from my landlady, did this.
TNHEN Emerson asked me II ! had
L ever read "Old Heidelberg" I ex-
plaincd that I had not only read 1t, but
had seen the premiere of the play in
Europe, and had gone to school at Hell
delbcrg.
Thercupon I was made Emerson's as
sistant, which meant doing everything
from sweeping the sets to building
scenes. An for SIS week.
Finally | won the position of art d.
rector for Emerson. Later ] took vari-
Gus roles until in the Hearts Of the
World" and Heart of Humanity" I
played tho parts of brutal Hun officers
so realistically as almost to cause my
undoing.
II seemed that I had portrayed my
role so well that could not get another
job because Of the prevailing prejudice
against the Hun.
l was determined to succeed and
wrote "Rlind Husbands This took
TO Carl Lacmmlc, president of Univer-
sal. Fl was advised against taking a
chance on me, but finally persuaded
him TO let me produce the picture.
Blind Husbands" justified Mr..
Laemmle's faith in me and then came
"The Devils Passkey." Now I believe
my success is to be. crowned with Fool
ish Wives" the Monte Carlo picture
which is nearly finished at cost OF
more than 81 900 900.
