 And that's the reason he has come to Birmingham and is appearing "a person at the Aicazar theatre. He wants to know what kind of motion Pictures you like. and to cater to the public desire for better films.
 What He Likes
 The distinguished actor dCes not believe that it is impossible to make pictures that the majority Of persons in theatre will not care for.
 There are pictures people can't help but like" he claims. And they're the kind that are worth while; and that my money snail all ways go to buy"
 In his pictures-where he takes the role of characters varying from the wild westerner to the society but terfly-he likes to intersperse real bits of humor, and his advice to those who are writing scenarios for his company. is this Put in laughs. a few sighs, lot of action, pep-and make the audience wait for the big denouement. Let your people feel when they've seen the show that they have witnessed something that ac- tually is human-that actually could happen-and probably might any day"
 \ By-Word
 Lionel West has by-word Ala bamians ought to remember because it's so wholesome. It is almost sec ond nature for him to say it. It's. Bless your heartr He is extremely kindly. and likes those pictures ot himself which show him with his sleeves rolled up, In negligee, just sort of off duty.

 There is a lot of truth in that say ing. Yes, sir, there is. Peter knew what he was talking about when he said that. It is fine to have favors done for one, but it is finer still to do favors for others, especially for those who have done favors for you.
 Now Jerry Muskrat had done. the greatest favor one person can do another; he had saved Peter Rabbits life. At least he had made it pos sible for Peter to save his own life by telling him of the one hiding place anywhere near the Smiling Pool in which he would be safe from Old Man Coyote. It was the place where Peter now was, one of Jerry's tunnels with an entrance which he had kept open lin the middle of a clump of alder bushes. But for that Old Man Coyote surely would have caught him.
 So as Peter sat down in that little tunnel waiting for old Man Coyote to give up and go away he was very grateful to Jerry Muskrat But for Jerry there wouldn't be any Peter Rabbit now" thought he. q wish I could do something for him. l do so. I hope that some day will have the chance. I guess Jerry was right about having an easier time in win- ter than the rest of us do. He doesn't fear any one because all he has got to do if he happens to be out is to dive into the water. But he isn't out much of the time so he hardly knows what dangcr is at this time Of year Perhaps next summer I may have a chance to repay him for what he has done for me"
 But Peter didn't have to wait for summer. He was to have his chance that very day. He remained where he was for long time. He feared that Old May Coyote might be lying in wait just outside. But he wasn't. He knew that once safe Peter would i stay where he was for a long time and so he soon trotted off to look elsewhere for a dinner.
 At last Peter yentured to poke his nose outside. For some time he sat without moving, just his nose out side that hole. All the time he was listening with all his might for the least suspicious sound At last he ventured to poke his head out and glance around hastily. The way was clear. Peter came wholly out and sat in the middle of that little clump of aiders.
 The first thing he did was to look over to the little open place where the Laughing Brook entered the Smiling Pool and the water had not frozen. He was looking for Jerry. But Jerry wasn't to be seen. Then Peter looked over to the mound Of white. which was the snow covered roof of Jerry's house. It looked jusr as it did when he visited it. That l is, it was all white. Yet somehow there was something about 1t not quite familiar. Peter stared very hard.

A LABOR VIOLENCE LAW.

A bill providing for tile deporta-
ton of aliens not fully naturalized
who take part in labor violence will
be presented when the House re-
convenes in August il Representa-
tive Edmonds of Pennsylvania has
his way.
The bill would exact the deporta-
ton of the alien and his family even
though his participation took the
form merely of personal attendance
upon the scene of violence. Trial
and conviction would be necessary
before the sentence could be en-
forced.
A history of labor disturbances
pavcs the way for some such legis-
lation, but it must be carefully con-
ceived and still more carefully exc
cutcd in order to be tolerable. 9th
erwise the effort TO curb license
will result in shameful interference

Our Pear sh ped Globe.

While Dowie insisted that the earth
YVES fiat, and his successor, voliva,
sticks to the same opinion, serious
scientists now begin to bark back to
the theory which Columbus formu-
lated ON his third voyage, that the
earth Is shaped somewhat like
pear.
The eminent geologist Sollas afiirms
that If the earth Is tending to become
round, It has not yet become so. It
even appears that what Is today the
moon belonged originally to the stem
end of the terrestrial pear which In
the course OF violent rotation threw
off the moon.
This, says the Petit Parisien, is a
theory. 1t IL perhaps as good as any
other, but anyway 1t Is well not to
get excited over It, Men were Just as
well Off when they believed that the
earth vas fiat and did not suspect
the existence OF antipodes.
