I'D Dillon waxed warm and petulant

was all because he had run against
a farmerette with an optic for busi-

It was necessary to take the

themselves to exploitation better than
any other class Of picture. And they
keep away from the censors in as

The casting was done while the
country was vivid with red, white and
blue in commemoration of the Grant
Centennial. Victory Bateman was
born on the day Lee surrendered TO
Grant-and was named Victory be-
cause of the coincidence.
Now, isn't it a pretty thought to
carry around, that the director had
all this in mind when he chose Miss
Bateman?
We thought 1t was, too. So we
ambled up to the director yesterday
and tried to compliment him.
"Grant?" gasped the director,

Old FOLK Games WIN Be
Taught Swedish Children

STOCKHOLM, June Swedish
school children OF the province CT
Skaane viii this summer learn the
charming folk games and dances
in which their great-grand sires and
mothers delighted generations ago.
At the same time the youngsters
will keep up their useful Swedish
gymnastics, without which no edu-
cationaI venture in this country is
complete.
Arrangements have been made
for summer camp on the estate
OF Bosjoekloster in Shame. South
ern Sweden, for 1000 children and
teachers to be conducted somewhat
on the same principle as an Ameri-
can recreational camp for boys and
girls. Emphasis, however. viii be
laid on perp etuating the folk games
and dances.
There has of late years been a
definite and conscious movement
abroad in this country to revive in
terest in the old national folk
games and dances, which for pic
turesqueness and wholesomeness
are regarded as far superior to
modern society dances.
