WHY
American Actresses Win Popu.
larity in Europe

Those persons who believe nothing
Nut a pretty face Is necessary to make
you popular movie star should read
what film producers in England and
France are up against in their search
for young women who can make good
In motion pictures, May Stranathan
writes In the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
They claim there are just as many
pretty girls In England and France as
there are In America-though doubtless
this is an exaggeration-but they admit
their pretty girls do not screen as well
as those Of America. They frankly ac-
knowledge the reason is lack of brains.
These producers say brains are neces-
sary to success as movie actress.
Rene Navarro, French actor and
would-be film producer who aspires to
: make his film city at Nice the rival of
the one at Los Angeles, after which it
is modelled. says he has tried hundreds
of beautiful French women and girls,
but they have failed miseraby before
the camera because of lack of the
quick intelligence necessary to catch
the point of pose. In despair, he
says the only thing to do is to start
. an academy for the training of camera
= stars.
Miss Violet Hopkins, one of the few
English girls who have made success
in motion pictures. attributes the sue
cess Of the American girl to her am
'vbition, thoroughness, her willingness to
work hard and her studv of fynas
not only of to-day. but in literature, in
Guiding history and poetry.
So the American girl scores again.

WHY


In France there is town called
Sedan, where wonderful carrying
chair, is said to have originated.
The chair, serving as vehicle for
one person, who sits within the in
closure of royal draperies. was car
ried by chair bearers and was con.
sidered' quite the thing for the styllsh
ladies' of the time.
They we're first introduced In west
ern Europe In 1881, but did not be-
come common as carriers for the So
cial elite Of England and France I'M
Ill the eighteenth century. They
were deliberately decorated, often with
paintings and panels by artists of
note, and lined with elegant silks and
padded with perfumed cloth.
The chairs, because of the supposed
originatiOn In Sedan and because they
were often lined with famous Sedan
cloth, soon acquired the name of Sc
dan chairs.
Sedan chairs soon became thick on
London streets and Paris boulevards,
and remained the fashion until their
position was usurped by the victorias
and the pranclng horses Of the courts.
Then came the automobile and some
advertising writer had the happy idea
of calling a model of similar construc-
ton sedan.
And sedan It still Is Exchange.

WHY Knock on Wood

Because there was at one time a
general belief that trees and human
ity were allied In close bonds of union,
and that certain trees had healing
qualities. 1t was customary for per-
son afflicted with disease to take a
wooden string of three colors, and with
bis right hand tie his left loosely to
De limb of a tree. then slip it out
and hasten spomeward without casting
a glance back. the belief being that
the disease was transferred to the tree
by touching 1t. Thus from a tree 1t
has become common practice to touch
any article of wood to ward Off mis-
fortune.

Why India Is Losing Cattle.

that all the herds have been decreased
during the last few years. The reason
Is that there was famine of fodder
during which it was impossible to
get food for the cattle in some dis

country.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-09-08
Why Known as "ounninq."

Because In the reign of Henry VIII
there lived bailiff named Dun, who
gained a great reputation for making
persons pay their debts. When every
method of getting payment had been
tried without success, Dun was put
to work. and "dunned him" became
the popular advice as last resort.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-09-08
Why "Near" and "of, Horse.

Because in the days when the driver
walked beside the horses his position
was always at the left. with his right
next to the team. Therefore, In dr.v-
Inc pair. the horse on the left was
nearer than the one on the right. The
near" horse is always the one on the
left.

During Severe Storm
Wednesday Afternoon

An extraordinary incident in con-
nection with the severe electrical
storm which played over the city
Wednesday was the manner in which
horse lost it's life while drawing
wagon of the W. A. Fleming Groc-
cry company in Kirkwood.
According to the occupants of the
wagon, the horse was walking slowly
along, when suddenly and without
warning, it fell dead in it's tracks
The driver, Lat South, a colored
boy, got out of the wagon to give
assistance to the horse, but on touch

electrical shock
He rushed to W. A. Fleming's
store and got Mr.. Fleming to hurry
with him to the scene of the acct
dent, and Mr.. Fleming was jolted
when he touched the dead animal
It is believed that a large electric
cable had been grounded during the
storm and that the wet soil conduct
ed the high voltage through the
horses shoes.
Lucille, Sara and Frederick Cassel,
young children Of L. J. Cassel, of
kirkwood, were in the wagon with

FRUIT MEN HELPED
BY ORGANIZATION

That the Florida Citrus Exchange
and the Exchange Supply company
had been the means for greatly IN
creasing the welfare or the Florida
fruit growers, was the statement
made by w. F. Miller, manager of
the Exchange Supply company, who
was in Atlanta Thursday, conferr. rs
with r. A. Kelley. president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation.
Mr.. Miller and his family are en- a
motor trip to Boston.
Mr.. Miller conferred at length
with Mr.. Kelley and others connect
ed with the farm bureau federation
regarding the Georgia Farm Bureau
Market Exchange which Is now in
the process of formation.
Mr.. Miller declared that dur :ns the
last year the Florida Citrus FIX
change sold thirty millions of dollars
worth of fruit for it's 125 l1cai asso-
Citations throughout the state, while
the Exchange supply company,
which is the purchasing department,
bought three millions of dollars
worth of farm supplies for Its mem
bers.
worked separately, but that they
were interlocking and cooperative.
He said that the exchange bought
and sold farm supplies for any CT
its members, buying at the wholesale
prices and selling at the retail rice.
AT the end of the year, Mr.. Miller
said, a refund was made to the grow
er of whatever the difference in the
retail and wholesale price happened
to be.
I'VE buy at wholesale and sell at
retail for the reason that we do not
wish to demoralize conditions by
cutting the price" he said. How
ever. at the end of the year, we re-
fund to the grower the difference
in the two prices, and he thereby
gets the saving"
Mr.. Miller said that the selling
part of the exchange required the
growers to come in for at least one
year, but that it did not require an
iron-bound contract for any term of
years. He said that grower could
sell through the exchange one year
and drOD out the next
