Passing of the Fighting Man.

Old-time chivalry is not compatible with the
new woman. She must not expect to have 1t
with her new freedom. Too many women, even
when they boast Of their ability to take care
Of themselves, have not learned this and still
expect their escorts to fight when a cross-eyed
man accidentally looks at them, as was the
fashion in the old days when knighthood was il
flower and men loved so much to fight they
were glad Of any excuse to do so. When women
realize they aee capable Of self-help and that
the saying that the Lord helps those who help
Themselves 10 not intended exclusively for men,
then the latter. II they must fight, will have to
find something else to fight about than women.
Thus 1t would appear that the fighting man is
doomed to extinction with the coming of>ahe
economically independent woman. For she,
relieved Of the necessity Of marrying whatever
ID offered her. will create by her wise selection
new type Of men noted for their character
and self-control according to the new ideals Of
women, typs Tar removed from ths knight Of
the days Of chivalry. who instead Of working
to support wife and children. rode over the
country ON richly caparisoned steeds seeking
unfortunats damsels with wrongs to redress.
For in the new order women will have NO
wrongs.

The City of Angels.

Los Angeles has another murder horror.
q woman having been terribly beaten to death
BY another. This is keeping up the record Of
violence with a vengeance in the city Of an
gels. There has been long series of shocking
crimes, and Los Angeles is beginning to wonder
whether its boom, which has been chiefly due
to the presence OF the biggest combination of
moving picture studios in the world, has been
really worth while. Not that these crimes are
all attributable to the movies They have NOT
been. But the moral atmosphere of the town
emg-to have been changed. Los Angeles has
figured in the crime news more frequently in
the past few years than even New York or
Chicago, which formerly held the record for
aboninable misdeeds. What particular germ is
it that has been loosed there?
Naturally the moving picture people are
greatly distressed by this development. A
majority Of them are quiet, careful. we'll be-
haved folks, intent upon doing their work, and,
Of course. getting the largest possible pay.
Some Of them have played fast and loose and
gained wide notoriety, which at one stage may
have been valuable for publicity purposes, but
which has been more harmful than helpful
The city has large business foundation quite
outside Of the motion picture field. 1t is a
prosperous community in its own right 1t
could do very well without the advertising Of
the movies But 1t has welcomed the studios,
has been proud of them, has regarded them as
valuable assets. They have drawn many thou
sands Of visitors, intent upon seeing how the
pictures are made, and getting close views of
the famous screen performers. But the more
Conservative citizens Of Los Angeles are now
wondering whether these things have helped
the town after all. 1t is not likely that there
will be any change The motion picture people
will stay on as long as the atmosphere is con-
ducive to good photography and the percentage
Of sunlight is large enough to outweigh the dif-
ficulties Of distance. And. then, too. move
ment 10 on foot to clean up the movie colonies.
That will help a good deal.

TIE RON RATIOX.

Whether iron is in organic or

mineral water, seems to be imma-
terial so far as utilization by the
body is concerned. Some Of the
most competent physicians who
have given this question study and
made experimental tests, believe
the organic or mineral forms of
iron preferable incidentally. Iron
is used incidentally because it
sometimes stimulates the tissues
which produce red corpuscles,
rather than to supply deficiency

anemia weak blood which is of
course a symptom secondary to

say diseontinuing the use Of a

Still, Josh was right. A lot of
plain people just know they need

anemic.

airy quantities taken at a meal,

called his chagrin at not being able
to see her.
At first he wondered what she
was doing these evenings. Then,
curious, he telephoned her house,
but as Lorraine had kept her own
counsel, he could learn nothing of
her plans. Rod was plainly puz-
zled. Lorraine was happy, The in
| tense desire to see him. now had
given place to a feeling Of calm
confidence in herself. A new in
terest, she concluded, was all that
she had needed.
She came out Of the ONCE one
evening at S o'clock, to find Rod

"All right. Let's eat" he sug-
gested.
The head waiter beamed on them
and commented on their long alb
sence from their old haunt. Lo-
ralne looked about her with an in
terested expression. From time to
time she glanced at her wrist
watch. This made Rod furious.
What time is your date?" he
asked, trying to be casual.
Not until T." she answered.
We've a long time yet-a whole
hour"
"A whole hour" he Knocked.

think an hour with me was very

Lorraine summoned sad express

simply.
We'll, what's the matter, Lo-
raine? You've met somebody else,
l suppose, that has made you lose
your interest in me-is that it? I'd
rather have the truth, you know"
He gazed at her intently.
Lorraine. conscious OF the fact
that she had never looked better in
her life than she did on that par
ticular evening. knowing that the
peace Of mind she had acquired
had done wonders for her, felt her
self mistress of the situation.
1 why, I wouldn't say that, Rod"
she parted lightly. Il haven't lost

and l really don't have time to do

A NEW INTEREST.

dictate, lnc.)
Lorraine Stedman diligently tap
ped the keys Of her typewriter,
glancing now and then at the book
of notes which was propped up at
the side Of her desk Apparently
her mind was concentrated on her
work, and an onlooker would never
have guessed that while her eyes
and fingers worked in conjunction
with the pot-h0oks written in her
notebook, an entirely different train
of thought was going on in the
background.
Bills, bills, bills! How would she
ever pay them, and why had she
ever contracted them? Lorraine drew
a fairly good salary, but she crav-
ed the iuxuries of life, and when a
gorgeous hat or stunning gown
turned her ordinary little business
looking self into a real beauty, she
couldn't resist. She had the
charge it" habit.
Along with the worry of the bills
was the thought of Rod. Lately he
seemed to have grown Indifferent
and careless. At first he had been
so eager to spend each evening in
her company, and now it had
dwindled to two evenings week
sometimes not that. She wondered
why it was, aud then the answer
came. When they first met, Lo-
raine had had many friends, was
full Of life, and was in great de-
mand. Gradually, in order to make
room for Rod, she had dropped a
good part of this. The result was
that he now felt too sure of her.
She no longer aroused in him the
instinct of the hunter.
Bills, bills, bill! Her mind went
over them again. as she steadily
tapped out the cold, stilted, bust
ness letters. 1t was really on
Rods account that she wanted to
look beautiful. The desire to shine
in his eyes had made her reckless.
This was the result, she bitterly
reflected.
Lunch time came, and with it a
telephone call from Rod. He was
leaving town for a couple of days.
Would she care to lunch with him ?
She pleaded too much work on
hand, and hoped he'd have a nice
trip Somehow she did not feel
equal to talking to him today. She
knew she would be thoughtful and
worried, and this always seemed to
irritate him. He wanted her to be
bright and happy. She wondered
II all men wanted women to con-
stantly act the clown.
All alone in the rest room during
the lunch psriod, she sat on the
couch, staring into space. She
could not ask for . raise in salary,
because she had just been given
one. Her closet was filled with
beautiful clothes, and yet she felt
like . pauper. Signing, she picked
up the morning PAPER, and glanced
through it mechanically.
