FORA, THE HUMAN PACK HORSE

A recent dispatch from Con.
stantinople tells the following
rather interesting story:
Fora, the human pack horse,
who claims to be 147 years old
and still can carry 200 pounds
with ease. attributes his long life
and health to hard work and
proper diet. He has always been
a carrier of heavy weights.
His rules of health are: Hard
work, sleep, cold baths at night,
no tobacco, no alcohol, no coffee,
40 meat, no oils, no butter, no
drinking water, but plenty of hot
tea, honey, sugar, cakes, bread
and cheese, particularly butter
milk or clabber. Every five years
he takes a three-months' rest in
his native home in the country.
Whatever his age, Fora is a
picture of health and physical
vigor, mentally alert, and fre.
quently blessing the curious Am.
erican sailors who visit him at
his favorite cafe on the Galata
waterfront. He is five feet ten
inches tall, deep breasted, face
is long and covered with a shiny
nut brown skin.
His eyesight and memory are
good and he recalls the days when
the first steamship came to Con.
stantinople. He says he worked
as peasant at Bitlis urtll the
age of 81, when he came to Con.
stantinople to work at the Turk.
ish Arsenal and that he worked
there for so years.
Fora has been married four
times. All of his wives are dead
and all but two of his children.
His son, Osman, aged 81, being
in poor health, recently returned
to Bitlis. His daughter, Gouli
hanem, aged 60, is married and
healthy. Zora's father died at
the age of 76 and his mother at
the age of SO. Fora isn't rich
because of so many expenses in
caring for his family. He lives
in a Kurd khan where he pays
a dollar and a half a month for a
place to sleep and hot water to
make his tea.
What l want is work." de.
clared Fora. "Idleness will ruin
my health. I'll pray al my life
for him who giveth me work.
Health, happiness and wisdom
come from work only"
Asked if he intended to join
the Turkish Nationalist army,
Fora smiled benevolently and
shook his head. II fought ma,
ny times for my country and
now l wish to end my lifeinpray.

TO REVISE RULES.
Topeka Auto Club Plans for
Safety of Public.
Corps of Special Police Will
Make Survey in Topeka.

Revision of the Topeka street traf-
fic regulations. the codifying of these
regulations so that they may be easily
understood by every motorist and the
walking public as well is the present
aim of the Topeka Auto club. This
is the announcement by G. w, Seeley,
secretary of the club.
In order that the necessary informa-
ton be secured toward an intelligent
cial corps of Topeka Auto club mem
bers is now at work making a survey
of the Topeka traffic conditions. The
club members have all been sworn
in as special police by Mayor Herbert
]. Corwine in order that they shall

thority be needed.

not being made public, but that is be-
cause it is believed that they will be
better able to make their investiga-
lions and report if their identity is

with an identifying number and a
stock of report cards which are to

to be asked further questions.
To Revise Traffic Laws.
The necessity of revision of the To-
peka traffic regulations was made ap-
parent when it was found that there
are now over $1,000 motor vehicles in
the city. With that number of cars
must be regulation of the best kind
or there will be accidents of serious
nature. New regulations must not be
merely amendments to the existing
rules, but a complete code, so simple
that every one can understand. 1t is
the failure of the public, both, auto
lists and pedestrians, to comprehend
that causes the greatest number of
mishaps. according to Mayor Corwine.
The Topeka Auto club has been
working on a Plan for better traffic
regulation for over a year. An at
tempt was made last summer along
these same lines. but because the po-
ice at that time did not cooperate
and because the public at large got the
idea that it was a secret service" or
'snitch," the effort was failure.
This time, with the assistance of
Governor Allen, Mayor Corwine and
all the public officials of the city, the
club is inaugurating its probe for bet
ter traffic rules, with a TOO Much
Speed Week" in order that the public
may be shown the danger of disregard
for the laws and the cooperation Of
all car drivers and pedestrians secured.
Stunts of various kinds will be used
all next week in an endeavor to bring
the attention of every Topekan to the

Why Your Scenario
Returned

For the guidance of amateur scenario
writers, Charles Kenyon, noted playwright
ana photoplaywright, gives the following
reasons for the rejection of four scripts by
the Goldwyn scenario department These
faults and the remedies suggested by Mr.
Kenyon cover the most common errors in
amateur scenario writing:
Number One: Lacks plot material. Is
merely interesting dramatic episode.
Remedy: A mere situation or episode no
matter how interesting, does not constitute
a motion picture plot. The above would
not make one reel of picture. Build eight
such episodes around this one tell them
IN four thousand word synopsis of ac-
ton, and you have a salable story.
Number Two: A long, rambling, unin-
teresting narrative, without drama or plot :;
utterly commonplace. Remedy: Study
popular books and see popular photoplays
and observe that their success is due to
some unusual elements, usually of plot
sometimes of Characterization.
Number Three: Plot ample and well
constructed. but haekneyed. 1t has been
used too many times to bear repetition in
any guise Remedy: Watch the screen
to see what type of plots are being used.
Fads come and 60. Keep alert for new
ideas in plot, situation, Characterization
or treatment.
Number Four: Salable, If sent to the
right studio. Not suitable to any Goldwyn
star or production. Remedy: Learn what
sort of plays each studio is making by
reading dramatic news. and seeing the
photoplays described. Do not waste time
sending stories to the wrong studios.

Los Angeles, Aug. 13.-Claire Wind
sor, featured player in Lois Weber
Productions. left Hollywood riding a
horse from riding academy on Tues
day morning of last week, and tho the
horse was found that afternoon. Miss
Windsor was not found until Wednes-
day afternoon, thirty-three hours lat
er. She was found under the window
of farm house in Cahuenga Canyon,
and taken to a hospital.

cred sufficiently to tell about it. that
her horse had reared and thrown her,
and that was the last she knew until
she awakened in the hospital. The
police, aided by Hollywood Boy Scouts,
one of whom had found the riderless
horse, searched the hills and canyons
north of Hollywood.
Miss Windsor was starred by Lois
Weber a year ago. She was formerly
a student at Washburn college and had
