LITTLE DROP OF WATER
LITTLE GRAINS OF SAND

You know the rest of the old
verse-the ocean and the land part
OF It. The thought Is this: 1t takes
lot Of little things to make great
big thing. The little things have
made plumbing big and fine; have
changed 1t from trade to a science; !;
have given the world Its prize COM
forts and conveniences.
Anybody can see bath tub or a
sink or a lavatory. They are big
things, and big things are easy to
see. But the big things would not
be- worth house room were 1t not Tor
host Of little things-the little
things you dent; see and maybe don't
even know about. These little things
are pipes and valves and traps, this
and that and the other. They are
out Of sight. but they are there. II
they were not you would not be able
to use bath tub or sink or lava
tory.
Keep in mind the little things
They make possible all the conyen'
fences and comforts that only good
plumbing can give. II you would
watch the plumbing Of your home
and see how each little thing II
fitted into place, you would more
thoroughly appreciate the work o.
the plumber. Then, too, you would
realize as never before the reason
able charge that is made for a rea
job Of plumbing.

ABOUT MOVIES MORALS

The movies are coming In for iot
Of censure these days and 1t Is IN
teresting to see what one famiilaf
with the studios thinks of them.
"Moralists howl at the movies,
but they howl without logic" says
Rupert Hughes in the Kansas city
Star. "Vices of every sort ran riot
centuries before there were movies.
Wicked people enter the movies, put
they were wicked before they en-
tered. and thy would have gone on
being wicked IL they had stayed out
of them.
81 have my suspicious that a good
deal of mischief ~ going on more
or less surreptitiously In moving pic
lures, although for two years l nave
been working about big studio ana
have never caught anybody kissing
anybody except as directed In the
pictures. / can't say as much ror
any Sunday school l ever attended.
divorces are frequent In moving
picture colonies, 1t Is claimed. Holly
wood is getting to be almost as bad
as England, Chicago and some olher
divorce mills, though 1t Is not yet
nearly up to the standard Of Indiana
which statisticians have put far
ahead Of japan as a discover OF
marriages.
"Pictures intended to appeal to
evil emotions have been put on--and
will be put on again. But this Is
true Of books, plays, paintings, what
not. One of the leading New York
clergymen was accused by his con-
gregation recently Of trying to draw
crowds by preaching salacious SER
mons. But / feel that the person
who is attracted to picture. sermon
\ or play, because (s)he has heard
that 1t is spicy, was already so
eager for spice that little harm is
done, and dangerous appetite may
be appeased by a little homeopathy
"All new arts, all old arts. like
old and new religions, professions
races, are, and have been, and VIII
be, denounced by somebody, world
without end. While do not believe
in indicting or applauding whoie
classes of people. am solemnly
persuaded that the mption picture
people are as good, as kind, af
earnest, as pure Of heart. as bene
ficial to the welfare and virtue Of
the state, as any other class. A man
q woman, a girl or boy Is as sai'
morally In a motion picture studi'
as anywhere else. Which Is saying
much or little.
s'In my two years in pictur
studio / have not seen a fight (excep
4 rehearsal one.) have heard les
profanity than on a college campus
/ have seen less jealousy than Il
a convention Of college professor
or scientists.
ST have seen tens Of thousands
feet of film taken with never a quar-
rel, never a voice raised In temper
never a dispute that passed tn
bounds Of artistic debate.
.Of course unpleasant and ev
things happen, just as bad thing
happen elsewhere as happen In tn
moving picture colonies. The huma
5 vices flourish normally because tn
movie people are human, but the HI
man virtues flourish also for tn
same reason.
SIN all comparisons, one shoul
avoid the comparison Of real peop
and real conditions, with ideal peop
and conditions, because the ideal
only imaginary. Movie folk shoul
be compared, therefore, with actu
classes as they are. They will NJ

considered. One Of these was 60 use the pres
cnt roadbed Of the West Shore Railroad, which
passes around the face Of tho mountain, just
above the high water marx. a new roadbed
was then to be built for Che rails, by tunneling
through the outer face Of the mountain. Still
another plan was TO cut tunnel through the
rocky face Of Storm King Mountain, similar
TO those on the Corniche Road along the
Wediterranea
Neither Of these projects would have made
it possible TO enjoy the scenery uninterrupted
II. Tho road as it now runs commands re-
markable view to the north, cast and south
without interference Of any Kind. from al
altitude of four hundred feet, which it reaches
on the face OF Storm King, the view is en-
chanting. The headlands Of the Hudson
viewed from this northern gateway gain new
and unexpected beauty. TO tbs north there
is a vast panorama reaching as far as the eye
can penetrate. On clear days the CatskiY
Mountains are visible upward Of sixty miles
away. The Hudson River flows between its
picturesque shores until it is lost in the dis
tance.
The face OF Storm King Mountain at this
point is almost perpendicular, so that one looks
almost directly down on tho Hudson River
The railroad trains on either shore appear
like children's toys. The largest of the Hud-
son River boats is reduced to the same absurd
proportions. From The height ore looks di-
rectly over many OF the hills on the eastern
shore and enjoys wide panorau,s, Including
part of New England In the middle distance
to the north lies the beautiful sweep OF the
Hudson River, with Newburgh spread out like
map to the left and Beacon Mountain rising
on the right bank, crowned by It's picturesque
chaletg.

OF the drive, The road descends gradually
along the northern face OF the mountain. II

shis approach will be found an easy grade. A
half mile from the turn the road enters the
picturesque town OF Cornwall. II Is safe 20
say that no other roadway OF similar length
IN the country, or perhaps in the world, COM
ulands nobler scenery.
Those who admire the scenery OF the Hudson
River, especially in the highlands, have en-
5oyed it only from trains or the decks Of rivex

NoaAs ARK had been operated OH the Subway r.sss
/ he Disillusioned Amerikantzi
Translated by MAYER SHAPPERO

1t turned out that the Americans were noG fit
for the work in the Soviet factories. Being
used TO the highly specialized work In Amerl-
can plants, where technical methods arc de-
veloped in the highest degree, they were sbso-
lutely unfit for the wretched Soviet factories.
The authorities soon discovered that tho
"Amerikantzi" were practically Of no use to
them and they notified their agents in Amer
lea that they should stop further emigration
OF Americans TO Russia.
No less disappointed were the "Ameyl~
kantzi" They were cheated in exchange Of
their money; their clothes, shoes and under
wear were taken from them and they were left
with only the few things that Soviet law al
lows. They were also shocked by the condi-
tions they found in the Russian factories-tho
lack Of machinery, raw material and fuel, the
mismanagement and general stealing that goes
on there. The wages they received were ri
diculously low, their food rations just enough
20 keep their souls in their bodies. In very
short time from well-to-do healthy young men
they became weakened from starvation--worn
looking proletarians. They became aware Of
the Bolshevis5 Inquisition, the so-called
