LONG DISTANCE TRUCKING

The use of the motor truck for
hauls that ten years ago would never
have been thought of in any other
connection than with the railroad
has come with in the past two or
three years to be accepted as mat
ter of course. Still, we are perhaps
not yet quite so sophisticated in the
matter that we cannot appreciate
the very remarkable showing made
recently by five trucks out of Akron,
Ohio.
These trucks which constituted
part of the Akron Boston service.
were withdrawn from this line and
sent from Akron to Chicago with
eighteen tons of tires for the Chicago
trade. Leaving Chicago with a cargo
for the east. they proceeded to Balti-
more From Baltimore, after unload :
ing, they ran light to Trenton. n. j..
where they picked up twenty tons to
Akron, where it was badly needed.
For the 440-mile run to Chicago
the running time was thirty-five and
one half hours gross and Twenty-Five
hours net; the $50 miles from Chicago
TO Baltimore was negotiated In one
hundred hours. The trucks were
back in Akron. ready to resume their
Akron Boston schedule. within q
week after being detached.

Little Stories For Bedtime
JIMMY AND UNC' BILLY TELL
DIFFERENT STORIES
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

The little people of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest didn't
know what to believe. First came
Peter Rabbit with the strangest
kind of story about being chased
by q terrible creature without legs,
head, or tail. He said that it had
come down the hill where Prickly
Porky the Porcupine lives in the
Green Forest. Jimmy Skunk. who,
you know is not afraid of anybody
or anything. had been sent to call
on Prickly Porky and ask him If he
had seen any strange creature such
as Peter rabbit had told about. He
had said that he hadn't seen any
stranger in that part of the Green
Forest. and Jimmy had straightway
returned to the Green Meadows and
told all his friends there that Peter
Rabbit must have had something the
matter with his eyes or else was
crazy, for Prickly Porky hadn't been
away from home and yet had seen
nothing unusual.
At the same time Unc' Billy Pos
sum was going about in the Green
Forest telling everybody he met that
he had called on Prickly Porky and
that PriclSly Porky had told him that
Peter Rabbit undoubtedly had seen
something strange or course jimmy
Skunk's story soon spread through
the Green Forest and Unc' Billy Pos
sums story soon spread over the
Green Meadows and so nobody knew
what to believe or think. If Jimmy
Skunk was right, why Peter Rab-
bits queer story wasn't to be be-
lieved at all. If Unc' Billy was right
why Peters story wasn't as crazy as
II sounded.
OF course all this aroused a great
deal or talk and curiosity, and those
who had the most courage began to
make visits to the Hill where Prickly
Porky lives to see if they could see
for themselves anything out of the
usual But they always found that
part of the Green Forest just as
usual. and always. if they saw
Prickly Porky at all. he seemed to be

with her. but it was a very serious

he neared home squared his should

Those persons will be disappointed
in the film, too, for the story mas

Nazimova almost makes Wilde suf-
ferable.
Thinking persons will find the film

At least, "Salome" grips the at

Nazimova's "Salome" Film With Mental Kick in 1t
Rx JAMES w. DEAN

NEW YORK-"The mystery of
love is greater than the mystery of
death" This legend serves as the
opening and closing subtitle of Nazi-
mova's screen version of "Salome."
1t is like stating an hypothesis and
proceeding with the proof until %.
E. d. is arrived at.
Her portrayal of the role of Sa-
lone is based on Oscar Wilde's story
and Audry Beardsley's pictures.
Thus the film presents the familiar
story of Salome demanding the head
of the prophet on a silver charger as
reward for dance she had executed
for Herod. The prophet, having re-
fused her a kiss full upon the lips in
life is ungraciously forced to yield
in death Salome pays for that kiss
with her life.
If you accept this as a love story,
the proposition is satisfactorily
proved, but there will be some who
will think that ii could have been
better stated il 1t read THE mystery
OF lust is greater than the mystery
Of DEATH" Perhaps that is for
psychiatrists and psychopathists to
determine. But love will pass the
censores and coat bitter pill where
Lust would antagonize the Mes
danes Shows and leave an unpleas-
ant taste.
IL there be merit in telling a story
well, in filming a picture with fault
less continuity and achieving a
higher mark of pictorial beauty than
any film yet projected upon the
screen, then "Salome" must be re-
corded as one of the outstanding
photoplays of the decade.
This film is by all odds the best
made by Nazimova. 1t equals her
work on the spoken stage. The lat
ter statement is worthy tribute, for
she is one of the greatest actresses
of the age. The former is faint praise,
for Nazimova has been UP till re-

SHIFTING IDEAS ON PARENTS


A boys estimate of his parents
shifts as the years go by. Up to 5
or 6, he thinks them the wisest indi-
viduals on earth. He quotes their
sayings and considers their opinions
final with the preference given to
the maternal wisdom. By the time
he is old enough to take his bath
alone, he thinks over the matter and
decides that mother isn't as smart
as he thought she was, but father
knows a good many things and cites
to himself their respective opinions
on swimmin,' fishini and going TO
the barber VS.. maternal hairclipping.
About the time he sneaks dads
razor to his own room and expert
ments a little with the fuzz on his
chin he concludes that father is a
well meaning duffer enough, but
mother knows less than nothing.
Five years later he pities the ignor-
ance of the whole world and espe-
cially that of the old folks.
At 30, about the time he wants to
borrow money from dad to cover
some of his financial mistakes, he
thinks fathers and mothers advice
is pretty good sometimes.
Ten or fifteen years later, when
he has a lad or two OF his own, the
old boy begins to wonder why he
never appreciated the old folks.
At so, when his parents are dead,
he idealizes them as the greatest
characters of their age and spends
hours telling his children how implic-
lily he always needed and obeyed the
slightest wish or command of his
parents and how he ever and always
took their advice in the crises of life.
