"Once very charming young wo-
man presented a small check at my
window" said the speaker at a re-
cent bankers convention. ''she was
transparently honest, but had no &C
quaintance ip the bank nor any let
ters or other papers with her.. ask
ed her if she had a handkerchief or
some article of jewelry marked with
her name or initials. After a mo-
ment's deep thought her face bright
ened and she asked: Would an ini-
tailed garter buckle do?"
''Did she get the money!" asked a
voice in a tone of detached scientific
inquiry from the back of the room.

speaker, judicially, "that banks re-

Doctor First

) A motor car was careening down a
beautiful truly rural country lane,
with millions Of twists and turns,
when, suddenly swinging around one
of the corners, the driver found hay
wagon about two yards ahead of him.
AS the car was travelling at thirty
miles an hour and the wagon at three
miles an hour. the odds seemed on a
collision. Before an honest man had
time to place the bet with book
maker, the collision occurred.
The driver on the hay wagon was
thrown into the rcad on his head and
lay there in semi-conscious cendi-
tion until the two occupants of the
motor car lifted him to the side of
the lane.
Another rustic came up at that mo-
ment and upon inquiries the motor
lists discovered that the nearest hous-
es were an undertaker's shop, two
miles in one direction, and doctors
house, which they had passed, one
mile and three-quafters behind them
on the road they had just, come along.
eShall we take him to the under
takers shop or back to the doctor's?'
asked the first of the motorists.
The victim of the accident raised
his head and cried:

The plans provide for a very
thorough preparation of ground that
has been selected for it's natural ad-
vantages in accordance with the sur
veys. of the landscape architect.
Trees and shrubs and grass will be
combined to the best advantage.
The few buildings that will be
necessary in each place will avoid
the pretentious, and follow lines of
dignity and permanence. These will
include an office and caretakers
lodge, with space for tools and i'm
plements, and a simple shelter for
visitors No hotel, restaurant or
store features will be included or
permitted, as any such accommoda-

the neighboring villages can be
counted upon to provide themselves
with the means of taking care OF Wis
itors on whatever scale the demand
may create.
The proper development of these
projects and the care of the grounds
thereafter will require water systems
to be installed. These will be limit
ed in extent to just what is required

BIG HAPPINESS" is
FILLED WITH ACTION
Dustin Farnum, Star of Robertson
Cole Super Special, Soon
Es-e.

Big Happiness contains a theme
so real and vital that it will find re-
sponsive chord in all who see it, y
said Colin Campbell the noted dlrec-
tor on the eve of the completion of
this Robertson-Cole super-special
showing Dustin Farnum, the mans
man" of the screen in his first great
picture for this company. The pic
ture will be seen at the opera house
Friday.
"Since the beginning of time exis-
tence has meant physical and mental
struggle" Mr.. Campbell added. "ln
Big Happiness there is the tremen-
dous struggle of three persons, twin
brothers-unlike except in face and
form-and a girl, whose lives, destiny
has interviewer in strange manner.
"The girl married to one brother
to save her father from financial dis
grace-fnds herself unwittingly the
victim of her husbands lust for gold,
which causes him to ask his brother
to take his place on the night of their
marriage. The brother, an adventur-
Gus spirit, with real fnesse of char
acter that is not at first perceptible,
dc not realize the seriousness of the
situation and consents to.the unusual
scheme.
Gradually these two, the brother
and the wife, fall desperately in love
with each other. Taunted by the
knowledge of his falseness, the bro
ther is about to make a clean breast
of it, when word reaches him that the
girls husband is dead. But his hap
piness is short lived for the husband
returns, ill with fever. Then comes
a dramatic. climax.
81 doubt if Dustin Farnun had
role which called for greater dram
attic work and in Big Happiness he
reaches a height which will set him
down as one of the finest artists
Of the day. Big Happiness is a tre-
mendous drama, big, alive and nu-
man."

MALE BEAUTY CONTEST
HELD IN "GAY PAREE"
Lovely Thing of 232 Pounds is
Acclaimed the City's Most
Ravishing Specimen.

Hark we cognac hounds of the
"Cafe de la Paix" for ye are legion!
Paris may have fewer doughboy SOL
diers this year than she had in the
winter Of 'l8 and the spring of '19,
but she's "Gay Paree" just the same.
The "soldat Americaine" has passed
on and Loey the Second has left the
land of Louis the XIV, but news dis
patches ever so often appear
which bring back memories of the
"LaFayette we are still here" feel
ing.
Only this week the "Queens of
Paris annually chosen for their
beauty, have just balloted and select
ed as the handsomest man in France
Eugene C. Hoffman, who weighs 232
pounds. This is the first time COM
petition in masculine beauty has been
held in France. Eugene, at the mo-
ament, naturally is undecided as to
whether he shall go into vaudeville
or the movies. 1t has been suggested
that he may open a gentlemen's
beauty parlor.
Eugene also is in some perplexity
as to what he shall attribute his
splendid physique. He has been over
whelmed with offers from the patent
medicine manufacturers and as soon
as he can make decision we shall
hear that his pulchitundinous triumph
was due entirely to his lifelong use
of some sort of pale pellets for pink
people. At this writing the negotia-
lions are still in progress.
Nineteen publishers have approach
ed the new Adonis with proposals to
publish any books he may write.
Some of the already suggested titles
are "My Beauty Secrets "How to
Raise Eyebrows" and "How to Be
Handsome Though Hefty."
Eugene won the beauty contest
fairly despite the tricky tactics of
some of his closest rivals. For ex-
ample, when the candidate passed
before the jury Of Paris queens, 1t
seemed certain that first prize would
20 to a tall, slim youth with blond
curls. 1t was discovered however,
by lifting up his flowing yellow
whiskers that he had very promi-
nent Adams Apple, and that of
course disqualified him. This dis
covery served to cast suspicion on
all the other beared candidates and
a prompt investigation showed that
none of them wore recktie.
The jury of ladies were revolted
at this, and as result, great con-
troversy is raging in the press as to
whether beared men should wear
cravats. There long has been
theory that the fashion of wearing
a beard was nothing more or less than
a cloak to cover up an effective
means of beating the high cost of
Ihaberdashery.
Another comely contestant was
ruled out when he admitted he was
a woman.

being yet planned.
For both regiments the first ten
days marching has been cut down to
ten and eleven miles. This is due
largely to the unseasoned condition
of the majority of the men, who
have been in the service less than
one yea~ The Eleventh Will spend
Sunday, September 18th, at Batmore
and Asheville, for another day of
rest if all plans work out as sched-
uled. The camping places from New

days rest. From Greenville the
column will march IA miles beyond

weather frosts. The climate in the
foothills and in the mountains IS
ideal, according to Captain King and
after the first two weeks, when the
troops are seasoned to the road the
marches will be from fourteen to
fifteen miles day.
Colonel Halstead is following the
wise plan of breaking camp early in
the morning and making the marches
in the early part of the day before
the heat becomes excessive and as a
result of his wisdam, the regiment
has lost very few men during the
first FIVE days Of their march.

EUROPEAN CEMETERIES
TO BE MADE BEAUTIFUL
Americas Dead in Europe VIII
Be in Beautiful Surround
ings in Eight Cemeteries.

With sympathetic regard for the
reverence felt by the whole country
for it's soldier dead, the secretary of
war has approved the general fea-
lures cf a plan for the enlargement
and Identification Of the American
military cemeteries in Europe.
A board of officers, composed of
the assistant secretary of war, the
general of the armies and the quar-
termaster general, appointed to con-
slider this question, has gone into the
matter very thoroughly. They have
had the assistance of the quartermas-
ter general with the cemeterial divis-
ion and the national commission Of
fine arts and has spent several
months in Europe studying the de-
tails right on the ground.
Mobilization of the Dead.
At the time of the armistice there
were some twenty-four hundred
plots in which American soldier dead
were buried. The work of removing
them from scattered and out of the
way places to a fewer number of
large, well-arranged plots was begun
at once, SO that before the A. E. F.
left France the number Of burial
places was brought down to about
six hundred.
Eight Great Memorials.
This final plan gathers all Of our
war dead remaining in Europe into
eight large memorial cemeteries.
Each one is named to commemorate
the operation or locality in which
the soldiers who are buried there
gave up their lives.
The American Cemetery CT the
Somme is near the Village of Bony.
That of the Aisne-Marne is at Bel
leau Wood; of the St., Mihiel, at Thia-
court; of the Meuse-Argonne, at
Romagne; of the Oise-Aisne, at Ser
inges ct Nesles. One near Paris IS
at Suresnes; the one in England is;
at Brookwood near Surrey; and there
will be one in Belgium, the location
of which has not been definitely set
tied upon.
To give an idea of the size of
these cemeteries, as finally complet-
ed, they will contain approximately
the following number Of graves:

reparations commission might de-
termine.
Three Figures Named.
As il stands now we have three
sets of figures to confuse and com
pIicate a discussion already bewild-
ering beyond all simplification. Con-
cisely stated these three figures are
as follows: First. the sum of all
repaRtions as named by the repara-
tions commission. namely, s36,00o,-
ooo, 900. which would mean that
Germany would undertake to dis
charge a capital sum OF this amount
in forty-two years. paying in prin-
cipal and interest Ss6. zoe. .oOo, 900. or
an average annual payment of S.
20a, ,000. 600.
The second figure is that agreed
upon by the British and French at
the London conference in March and
rejected by the Germans. This rep
raSented a capital sum OF S2l.oOo.-
0oc, 900, which would mean on the
forty-two-year basis an annual paw
ment of sI.S53.353.353.S5 and a total
payment OF neutrality-suspicious.. But 10
this was added a 1e per cent export
trade tax. whose yield was plainly
wholly conjectursl.
German oner $4,000. .o0o. 600.
The third figure is the German
proposal made through Secretary
Hughes. which amounted to a capitaI
sum Of $4,000. .Ooo. zoo. a total pay
ment OF approximately $4,000. .oop,- =
600. and an annual instalment for
the forty-tuo-yesr period Of ap-
proximsteIy $3.50. 600. .OHO. It will be
seen at once that the German offer
represents less than a third of the
sum fixed by the reparstions COM
mission.
Perhaps the best way Of empha-
sizing the disparity between what
the reparations commission demands
and the Germans ofrer. is to indicate
the French share. Under the COM
missions estimate, the French would
