"The huskies are here, all right" he said, 'but

Before the director could object Miss Hurley
sped through the velvet curtains and out upon
the dancing floor. II was a vision that sent up
the temperature Of every beholder. The fem
mime spectators said Miss Hurley was the sweet
est little thing they had ever seen. The mascu-
line spectators gssped for air and couldn't. say
anything. For ten minutes Aphrodite's daugh-
ter gyrated and undulated and rotated, until
finally she fosted out Of the picture, her illus
trious mother, on a wave Of applause spumous
with cheers of delight
After she had got out Of her deep-sea clothes
and into land toys more suitable for a midwinter

You are just going to pop a beautiful pearl

into the ballroom on the shoulders Of twelve
husky sons Of Neptune.
~These sons Of Neptune will place the oyster

to have replied, "but l do know I can fold into

Soon came the big night The first part OF
the evening was bewiderng series Of scenes Of
splendor and color. In a studied arrangement Of

serts. When she insisted that
she had carried out her agree
ment and was entitled TO the
full amount, she declares, he
grew impatient and gave
her a rude and violent shove
against a table.
She hailed him to court on
a charge of disorderly con-
duct. Magistrate Nolan in
the West Side police court
heard the charge. Korten's
defence was a complete de-
NAL as to the assault. He
said he had not paid her the
full sum promised because
the young woman had not
lived up to her contract
"How could l stage a living
pearl when she had lost her

Judge.
The stern magistrate, with
an appreciative glance at
small Miss Hurley and an
added something about the
pearl that was cast before
people who did not know
how to value one, suggested

acted on the tip at once. She
has announced that she has
instituted suit against Kor-
ten in the New York Supreme
court for $4,000 damages
growing out Of a breach Of
contract.
But, as the poet says,

was one Of that kind. II
Korten really did shove, he
showed her into fame at

A Model in Demand

It seems odd that motion picture direetoR
ever woke up to Marian Hurley's attractions for
screen purposes. The New York artists and
magazine illustrators did the moment they saw
her. Howard Chandler Christy quickly found
work for her when she applied to him. So did
Clarence Underwood. Likewise Frank Goodwin,
who draws girls heads in a way to recall Glib
son when that famous artist was at his height as
a black and white creator. They, and as many
more, equally as prominent in their fields kept
Miss Hurley fairly busy. Still, when she had
the spare time she used it in making the rounds
of the film studios over and over again. seeking
that engagement which it seemed never would
come.
Each morning she left her home In New
Rochelle to go to the city to work as a model,
saying little to her mother about the job she
most wanted and still less to her father. While

CHARLES STEINMETZ
OFFERS SOLUTION
RAILWAY PROBLEM
Declares ElectrificatiOn Of American
Railways Would Have Four
| Advantages
BY HAROLD D. JACOBS.

| ny IAAeOl/D L. JACODo.
! SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Feb. s.
Electricity will solve the railwa,
problem. DR.. Charles Steinmetz said
in an interview with the United
Press today.
The wizard of electricity" who
perhaps. has accomplished more in
electrical invention than any man in
history. pointed out that electrified
ton of American railways would re.
suit in the following:
Cheaper transportation.
Fuel economy.
Greater safety, convenience and
cleanliness.
Movement Of more trains over the
same trackage.
He explained that economy in fuel
and transportation would be derived
from generation Of energy in cen.
trail power plants, where more
highly perfected machinery, such as
turbines, could be used which could
not be applied to steam locomotives
Because OF the greater simplicity
and safety of operating electric loco
motives, he said, rains drawn BY
them could be run at greater speed
and follow each other more closely.
But to bring about extensive cleo
trification of our railways we have
got to deal with two other factors
the apparent lack of progressive
ness among most railway officials
and the assured lack OF confidence of
the public in the railways. DR.. Stein
metz said.
Initial Outlay Enormous.
1.-THE one big thing that stands in
the way of electrification is the enor-
nous initial financial outlay it would
require. The public, of course, must
provide this capital. And. before
they will invest their money in our
railways their confidence must be re
stored
1T would be foolish to hazard a
prediction as to when our transpor-
tation systems will be completely
electrified. The only measure of
time we have is he fac that all cleo
trical development has come in the
last hundred years.
In connection with DR.. Stein
metz's statements regarding cleo
trification OF transportation systems.
it was learned hat representatives of
railway interests in Sweden and
Brazil have consulted the General
Electric company on the proposition
of electrifying the lines in those
countries.

| The informal party and dance
given at the club house Saturday
evening was a most enjoyable af-
fair. The time was spent in dane
ing, singing and games. One of he
many entertaining and amusing
things carried out by the president
was the kangaroo court which was
held with judge, prisoner, prescott
ing attorney, counsel for defense,
witnesses and jury. 1t was a scream
and ended by the prisoner being
convicted of chicken stealing. AS
the supper hour drew near, order
was called and each one requested to
earn his or her supper as did lit
tie Tommy Tucker. Each guest re-
sponded either with rhymes, song.
dance or some stunt. A most de-
licious supper was served at mid
night and the fun resumed until the
wee sma' hours. Altogether it was
one of the most enjoyable affairs the
club has ever held. Here's hoping
it will be repeated soon
