MAGNETIC vERBENA

T know a girl who has had eleven pro posals of marriage" began the girl who liked to be startling.
 Huh" said the erabby bachelor. T know a girl who really got married"
 We'll burst in the man with the orange tinted necktie, that can be arr gued either way"
 "PeehI Any girl can get married that wants te!'' asserted the young woman who wasn't so young as she might have been. "Of course, sometimes she has to wait for the right man!"
 How can she tell he is the right man? insisted the crabby bachelor Suppose she gets engaged seven times Each time she cries: Here, at last, is the right man! If she, had married the sec end right man or even the third she never would have known how right the rest of the bunch were. Poor girls! How pity 'em!"
 Well, they can easily take it out on the man they do marry, so they sort of get even" said the girl who liked to startle. This Verbena Vesting is a per- fectly lovely girl and she wasn't trying to make a collection or anything Why, she was so fascinating that men just in- sisted on being engaged to her" "Oh. I've known girls like that!' cried the man with the orange tie. "They are helpless. trusting little creatures on the l surface and regular man-eaters beneath. Once they get their clutches on you None of these fascinators for me What I like is the sensible. real wonanly 1 kind
 q think you are exactly right, MT. | Smudgeons' murmured the young wom- 1 an who was not so young. Any really l splendid man admires a true woman who { can make home for him! If there is | anything I love to do it is to get out in the kitchen and cook biscuits and-lob- 1 ster and thangsi I"
 ] "Pn bet you can't make coffee fit to | drink" said the crabby bachelor, cruelty NO true woman can do that-it takes
 a chef to make coffee that isn't poison 1 If every prospective bride were required 1 to cook coffee first, there would be nc marriages whatever to speak of This Verbena Vesting-did she keep all eleven
 rings? Will she set them in a tiara or a neeklace?"

CONFLICTING FORCES IN EUROPE

European statesmen, we are assuref in spite of the aggressive policies anf dubious methods of some, are coming tt their senses, facing realities at last ant getting ready to adopt plans of self-helT md wise cooperation. The illusion that the United States would relieve them of all the!r difficulties and solve, by some magical stroke all their prob. lens. Is being renounced. American co. operation is still hoped for and desired but practical view of the limits and conditions of such cooperation is emerg ing.
 However, if statesmen are abandon Ing insincere politics fer rational courses of action certain sections of the Euro, pean press and of the public are as ye unprepared to lend proper support to yhese wholesome efforts. The gopagan. da of marrow nationaksm, of hatred, ei economic isolation continues to be ac. lively preached.
 Anatole France, the French aut4oo and humanitanlan. has just made an. other plea on behalf of netghborlines. md good will in Europe. He reminds his own countrymen, as we'll as Ger. N40tN9f Aeo--~hS adiu OllfcTS, lLEdC EurOpt s, after all, unit, and that they mus all be good Europeans' rather tha1 5uperheated chauvinistic nationalists
 M France, like H. G. Wells. looks for. yard to federated Eunope without se many barriers to trade and connmunica ton, and without so much ddplon,atit intrigue and so many secret attempts f, obtain special privileges or ene-sjdet commercial bargains That goal Is dis tant, hoover, and meanwhile the d1t, of every thoughtful European is to com Dat selfish diplomacy and work for eoua opportunities and freer international in lercourse. Public opinion is more effec tually educated by sound, ealaghtene treatment of concrete issues than b, vague generalft5es unaccontsanied am anenforoed by specific instances of jus md wise international dealing.
 M. France changes certain Europeai tndustriallsts with deliberately sowtn; The seeds of distrust, hate and jealous Through the press controlled by then He has in mind French newspapers a well as German and other foreign oo gans. Europes public opinion, accord ng to M. France, Is being distorted an poisoned by newSpapers which reall, represent monopolbes and groups of spe sial interests. And assuredly an inde pendent, a liberal, an honest press, ] one of the essential factors in rebuiIdin and unitng Europe.

cowpunchers, a beautiful girl, bunch
of border villains, a dashing hero and
sheriff's posse that looked determin-

action every minute, the unity of the
scenario was excellent and the dra-
matte situations were linked from the
start in a manner that made the au-
diences hold their breath when the
climax was reached.
Familiar scenes in the photoplay
may have, made it more interesting
than usual for local theatre-goers, but
even had the film been made in. some
other locality, it probably would have
aroused as much enthusiasm.
