tearfully explained when their par
ents and professors brought them to
time and forced them to admit that
they "knew better"
Big mistakes in human conduct
seldom fall like lightning from the
skies, as a curse Of the high gods.
Almost invariably they are de-
veloped from small errors, perversity
wilfully added to perversity.
Probably nobody was ever more
surprised to find himself in Jail than
Fatty Arbuckle. And yet the steps
downward had been deliberately
placed day by day and hour by hour
by the man who followed them at
last to a prison cell, by the girl who
followed them to her grave.
Wrong-doers in the beginning
"know better" That's a homely doe
trine, but a wholesome one.
Beauty, when tempted, may try to
fool itself about it. And may sue
coed in fooling men. But women
old and young, can testify that each
girl has an instinct about right anC
wrong which she can trust-unles'
she years it down to .bluntness.

In one way, morale and morals
mean the same thing Nobody ever
will have reason to question the char
acter Of any person who possesses a
high morale.
This is about the first observation
I MADE in FINLAND, and it is the one
l have most often handed on to in
quiring mothers, made anxious by
the ambitions of beautiful daughters
aspiring to careers upon the silver
sheet.
There are various kinds of morale
as well as various degrees.
The most obvious of all morales
is courage. Many a movie star has
"a rendezvous with DEATH" as when
the scenario demands a conflagra-
ton.
Frequently a film star must stay
in bed with bandaged eyes for a day,
perhaps for several days. while her
ewes are being treated for inflamma-
ton caused by the lights used in
close-ups. It is an accepted hazard Of
the business.
There are other morales without
which no movie star has ever vet sue
coeded. Some, which are of especial
interest to movie fans, I will discuss
in my article tomorrow.

"Some of them do lie and some
of them don't, probobly because
there was someone somewhere for
whom they did care, and who failed
them. And self-revelation is balm
to their scorched souls-they do not
want to lie about it.
But women can come back, and
they do, every day through the
medium of the wedding ring--if they
will let the truth go untold" Grace

The girl in the Arbuckle case
"She shouldn't have been thereW
Listen to women discussing the most
startling scandal of the decade; that
is their unanimous verdict.
"She shouldn't have gone to wine
party in a mans room!" they agree.
"She knew better" Thus old and
young, innocent and sophisticated,
hold the girl, and each other, and all
of their sex responsible for sustain
ing the tradition of what is good be-
havior for a woman.
1t seems an unsympathetic opin-
ion when one remembers the ultra
modern theories about everybody's
right to all the JOY they can pick up;
a hard verdict when applied to a
girl who has died for her mistake.
But isn't it the truth? Doesn't
woman always 'know better" than
to fall for folly?
Now it would indicate a great ig-
norance of modern life to affirm that
only the show girl type today con-
siders her beauty of more Importance
than her character.
The conviction that loneliness and
charm are a girls supremely de.

some girls whose parents take it for

OLD RAIL FENCE IS MOURNED
Too WaSteful for Modern Days, but It
Had Its Points of Real
Usefulness.

Among the once necessities of farm
/ life that reflected prodigality in the
use of valuable timber was the old rail
fence. Like many other almost by
cones of rural life, its place in farm
wastefulness now Is well established,
and yet it had its uses for which the
straight-line wire fence cannot qualify.
The old rail fences serrated

the uncultivated blackberry, with its
sister the raspberry, and among its
recesses there thrived the elder, whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of winter evening when the
neighbors gathered. =
The rail fence, with it's invarable
underground was the favorite protec-
ton for Bob White in winter, and from
it's top he sang in the warmer seasons.
Beneath, the little ground squirrel bur-
rowed. From safe retreat he chartered

shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.

PLANET DESTROYED BY HEAT
Possibility That Our Own World May
Meet the Same Fate Through the
Rays of the Sun.

Worlds, with probably millions of
human beings like ourselves, have
been destroyed and turned into glow
ing gas by stupendous conflagration
In the heavens.
The sun to which these worlds be-
fonged must have rushed into a zone
of heated gas and have had it's atmos-
phere set on fire.
1t was toward the end of last sum-
mer that the vast outbreak was first
seen, but it was only lately that as
tronomers realized it's awful signifi-
canoe. Now it is known that the star
which caught fire had it's heat in
creased by no less an amount than five
hundred thousand times in the course
ora few days.
Can anyone imagine our own sun
filling the sky with it's blaze and send
ing forth a heat hundreds Of thou
sands Of times greater than it does at
present.
Humanity would be withered as a
leaf dropped into a white-hot furnace
and the earth itself would melt with
fervent heat.
Yet there are those who predict
such fate as that for our planet.
