Not so many days ago a school
friend of the Metro stars, passing
through California, stopped in Holly
wood to see Miss Allison. The blonde
screen celebrity was enacting the
stellar role in the earlier scenes OF
"Are Wives to Blame?" a picture
adapted from Ben Ames Williams

Husband or apartment" inquired
May.

York." said the other. What | mean
is real hunting-with. a gun and
everything"
Her enthusiasm for the chase so in
fected Miss Allison that the star with
in week had the necessary gun and
everything; and went into the noun
tains. May even spent two days at
the gun club traps, knocking down
iclay pigeons.
They drove some forty miles from
Hollywood, into the foothills of the
mountains, left Miss Allison's car in
charge of the chauffeur, and plung
ed into the woods. 1t was three
hours later that a cottontail rabbit
broke cover and scampered away.
Instinctively Miss Allison raised her
gun and fired. She says she never
will use one again off the screen as
long as she lives.
ut was awful. | didn't have the
slightest idea that hunting was like
that. A lot of my friends-people
with the kindest hearts in the world
seemed to like to hunt; and so
couldn't imagine how really CHASTITY
such thing is, unless ones in the
woods and without any other means
of getting food. That poor little
rabbit don't like even to think
about it.
If it had been a bear or some
big animal that could have put up a
fight, it might not have been so bad
Even then, don't see any particular
fun in hunting. The idea may be
all right-roving through the fall
woods all day, and camping out for
lunch and ali that. But hereafter I'm
Igoing to leave my gun at home for
use on burglars only"

Wives to Blame?" is being directed
by Philip Rosen. The scenario is by

DOunO 10 grant III
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King Is one of an In
creaslng number Of Republicans In the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author OF bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
tion and frame a constitution.
After the constitution Is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer OF authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American In
vestments In the Philippines and for
the providing OF coaling stations and
submarine bases In the Islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed II they
do not get IL.
"No nation has the right" said Con-
gressman King Ito hold another people
I'm peonage. even though 1t may be
argued by the professoriate that the
,eonditicr IS simply one Of .tnteiages
little more Observance OF the
golden rule In national and interna-
t!onal affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation. the fiercest foe
OF freedom In the world today.
"when we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire OF conquest or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. but solely by humanl'
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
TO the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds 10 erect monument TO
Admiral Dewey, which he said was In
directly tribute TO the American peo-
pie as well as TO Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley. which was as
follows:
"In my opinion these people (Fili-
plnos) are superior I'm intelligence and
Cdpdbic VI oCiA eh"''
the natives OF Cuba. and l am familiar
with both"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble 10 the Jones law. passed
August 20, 1915, and declared II was &
definite pledge OF independence. The
preamble stated 1T Is as II has always
been the purpose OF the people Of
the United States TO withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Island:
and 20 recognize their independence a:
soon as a stable government can bt
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filiplnos haC
established the specified stable gov
ernment and. therefore, II Is the
solemn duty OF the United States e
grant the promised independence.

son who thinks in terms of fun ever
when suffering keen pain, he is un-
familiar to the film public.
It happened not long ago. Drol
Buster sprained a leg while acting

was excruciating. The doctor forced
him to abandon his work and rest.
And the pain of the limb was nc

and ink, and began TO work on the
script of his next funny two-reeI

This laugh-getter deserves golC

ridiculous scenes for picture comedy

In speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently ap-
plauded.
AT one time" said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before II no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations Of the
Irish people, II not actually urging Eng
land TO grant independence to Ireland.
At that time, also the Filiplnos were
knocking at your door. Out Of the
womb OF war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
1oiced to uphold the same. And yet
the claim of the Filipinos Is still un-
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, In international justice?
My plea, gentlemen OF the Ameri-
can Congress-. is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests OF de-
serving people for an independence
that rightfully belongs TO them. The
granting OF independence now affords
the United States a golden opportunity
TO give 10 the world unanswerable
proof OF its sincerity, its consistency
and its altrulsm. 1t will be the great
est example OF square dealing In the
history of the ages.
"Do not think we are not appre-
ciative Of all you have done for US.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race In all
history. The high points Of the Amer
lean policy In the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
We know that you were actuated In
your labOrs by the desire TO contrib
ute to our own welfare.
And We love you perhaps most OF
all for your solemn promise TO grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. independence is
our national ideal. 1t is our all alb
sOrbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit of nationalism
never dies. Much less can ii be sub
dued. We believe that we can never
hope 10 be a sturdy nation If we are
to rely forever on the magnanimity of
the United States.
Americas task In the Philippine
Islands is finished. What you have as
sumed AS your sacred obligation in
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with a medieval sys-
TEN Of institutions has been trans
formed into a conscious nation, i'm
bued with all that is modern In the
activities of nations. And II you give
US independence our gratitude TO you
will increase a thousand fold; II will
last forever II you keep faith with US
! There Is but one issue in the Phil
ippine question, and that is: Is there
today a stable government on the Is
i lands7 In the Jones law you promised
independence upon the establishment
4 OF such a stable government. Your
own Governor General has officially
reported that there Is a stable gov
ernment i'm existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty Of evidence
10 substantiate its existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America will
now carry out its pledge"

The national forest reservation com.
mission has recommended the acqui.

and New York along the headwaters
of the Allegheny river, with view to
lessening the danger from the river
floods at Pittsburg on the Ohio river
This is the first move of the federal
government toward extending its for
estry operations into Pennsylvania

to make important purchases says

As an agent OF destruction and q
carrier Of diseases, the rat Is classed
among mans most dangerous enemy
Estimates show that rats cost this
country more than 1,OO0OOO,OOo ev'
cry year. This is a staggering sum-
considerable of which would be saved
If people would only make a deter
mined effort TO get rid of these pests
Some of the larger cities are spending
thousands of dollars TO e1terminate
the rat and the results are easily
seen In the decrease I'm deaths from
contagious diseases. That the rat Is
an expensive boarder is shown by the
fact that single rat cannot exist un'
der at least a cent a day. That means
that every rat on your premises Is
costing you a cent every day. This
does not include damage 10 buildings
furniture, etc. Many solutions Of the
rat question have already been sug'
gested, but perhaps the best and most
effective manner Of getting rid OF this
pest is by poison. Killing rats has
been reduced TO an exact science. Rat
poisons in the form of powders are
almost as dangerous as the rats them
selves as the slightest draft may blow
the poison through the rooms and al
low II TO settle in the food. The best
method of administering poison to
rats is IN the form OF a paste.

The secret of perpetual youth is
not such an impossible secret, in the
lopinion of Viola Dana, Metros ir-
lrepressible star. 1t is within the
grasp of anyone; and moreover, Ponce
de Leon, the Spanish explorer, made
his mistake only in supposing the
fountain Of youth was a spatial thing,
instead of being an attitude towards
life.
This is how she puts it:
"Yes, youth, which is only another
name for buoyancy. freshness, health,
lis possible to all. Exercise and the
out-of-doors are the open sesames.
/ came to this conclusion through
noticing that many of my girl friends
who marry slowly lose their dash and
vigor. The reason is that they no
longer interest themselves in exercise
they grow flabby and flaccid, feel
ing that their future is settled.
IF, instead of flirting with the
easeful cushion, they took to the
medicine ball or the hike in the brac-
ing air, they would soon discover
that age is only fiction which the
world has agreed on. and that the
spirit Of youth need never to leave
