BEGIN HERE TODAY

Youth, beauty, social position, and
sincere love-these were not suffi-
Gent to hold the affection of
BELLAMY BRUCE, cursed with
an appetite for cheap fiirtations and
expensive liquor. The decision to
leave him came when his wife,
LUCINDA BRUCE, having toler-
ated a series of escapades and receiv-
ed his promise of reform, discovered
him intoxicated and dancing with a
woman of iIl-repute in a Broadway
cabaret. On the eve of her depar-
ture, Lucinda renews an old acquaint-
ance with
FANNY LONTAINE, and learns
that her husband is thinking of form
ing a motion picture company in
California. With them, she visits
the New York studio of Alma Daley
and takes great interest in the screen
life. Then comes her break with
Bellamy and sudden departure to
to Chicago. Bel follows her and tries
to stop her as she leaves her hotel to
board a train for Reno.

co ON WITH THE STORY

Somebody came between them.
Startled, she identified the strange
young man of the foyer.
Can be of service?" he suggest
ed in an amused drawl.
Instinctively she gasped. mo,
please" At the same time Bel
tried to shoulder the other roughly
out of his way; the gratuitous cham
pion stood firm, merely counseling,
Easy, old thing, easyw Then Bel
lost his head. Lucinda heard him
damning the other. There was a
slight scuffle in which the two
locked in each others arms, reeled
to one side. The bellboy was shout
ing "Now, ma am - now's your
chancew She stumbled into the
taxi. Holding the door the boy de-
manded: Where to, ma'am-where
to-" She gasped: "Anywhere-only
tell him, hurry~ The door crashed,
gears meshed with "a grinding
screech, the cab leaped forward with
such spirit that Lucinda was thrown
heavily against the back of the seat.
When she recovered the vehicle
was turning corner. Through its
window she caught a glimpse of the
sidewalk beneath the canopy of the
Blackstone, just bare glimpse of
two figures struggling, with several
others running toward them. Then
the corner blocked out the scene.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-05-19

1t seemed a sensible move as well
as one most agreeable in prospect.
She could rest in comfort and friend
ly companionship for few weeks,
consult with Hartford Willis by let
ter, at leisure and with a calm mind
plan for the future.
And then it would be amusing to
see Los Angeles under the wing of
so well-informed a motion-picture
impresario as Lontaine. That after
noon at the Culp studios had been
fascinating; how much more so
would it be to live for a time in a
city that was, at least as Lontaine
llmned it, one vast open-air studio,
to be associated with people who
were actually doing something with
their lives!
"But you haven't told me-" she
complained, "about those tests. How
did l look?"
"You were adorable, everybody
simply raved about your
"Fact, Mrs. bruce. You outclassed
even Alma Daley in that Palm Room
scene. No, but seriously: it was you
first, Miss Daley second, Fanny a
good third, the field nowhere"

EDITORIAL
WAKE UP, GEORGIA.

THE sending Of Georgia money out
= of the state for things which
could be produced here has been for
years the wilful waste which has
helped to bring about the woeful
want of the past two lean ars.The
Federated Club Women of the state
in 1914 at their annual convention
in Albany held a miniature cotton
exposition. Women were urged to
use cotton materials in every way
possible and the boosting of Georgia
products generally was to be the per-
sonal work of the twenty thousand
women who formed the membership.
The number has swelled to- fifty
thousand and Mrs. J. E. Hays, state
president, urges every one of these
to help make the coming "Made-in-
Georgia" week a success. Merchants
and manufacturers have promised
their cooperation and the indications
are very promising for the week,
May 22nd to 9th. Cotton is no
longer absolute king of Georgia but
cotton materials are manufactured
in the state which compare favor
ably with those of outside make and
should be used by all Georgia people.
Let US demand Georgia products and
they will be supplied if only the de-
mand is great enough. We have the
largest peach farms in the world, yet
our. grocers' shelves are loaded with
California canned peaches, and so it
is with the various fruits and vege-
tables. The 'Made-in-George' move
ment is primarily a woman's cam
paign which is fitting as ninety per
cent Of the buying is done by women.
However, the cooperation of the men
is necessary and there is no doubt
that they will give it in full measure.
Let all loyal Georgians resolve that
the S90,00Q,000 which yearly go
outside the state for products which
could be grown or made at home be
kept here, and then we may conf
IDENTIFY expect prosperity to return to
us.

"A LATE GEORGIA PRODUCT.

DO YOU know this product-the
woman voter? What has become
Of the politician whose roars rent
the heavens in denunciation of wo-
mans stepping from her place" as
he so gracefully expressed it? Does
our intelligent interest and part in
the making of laws which govern her
children preclude modesty, womanli-
ness, gentleness and all the other
feminine attributes? The answer lies
in the recent election of several
prominent Georgia women to the
school boards and city councils of
their respective towns. Long ago g
poet wrote:
The woman's cause is mans. They
rise or sink together. Dwarfed OF

We'll, it's hard to believe, but if
you mean it, the Culps and their
cameraman would seem to have
been right"
Right about WHAT" Lontaine
earnestly wanted to know.
"Why, they were SO sure l would
screen well, as they put it, Mr.. Culp
made an offer, as we were leav-
ing, to act with his wife in her next
picture"
Lontaine's eyes widened into a lu-
minous blue stare; and abruptly, rs
if to hide the thought behind them,
ne threw away a half-smoked cigaret
and, helping himself to another, bent
forward, tapping on a thumb-nail.
Really, dearest? How priceless
And what did you say to the crea-
ture?"
"Oh, l was kind but firm"
ben Culp's big man in TIE
cinema game" Lontaine commented
without looking up. "If he says

worse than listen to him. That is,
0 fcourse, if you should ever think of
taking a flyer in the motion-picture
business"
Pm not even dreaming of such a
thing Why, it's absurd!'
Then you're the mo Tern miracle.
Mrs. Druce-a woman without either
vanity or a secret ambition to be a
cinema star" Lontaine laughed and
lazily got up But if you'll ex-
cuse me now,, I'll arrange matters
with the conductor and porters."
The door was behind Lucinda's
shoulder. Closing it, unseen by her,
Lontaine contrived to exchange with
his wife a look of profound signifi-
canoe.

One Reason Babe Got His

A canvass of the baseball parks
where Babe Ruth operates during the
season shows that the right field wall
of the Polo grounds is the shortest
target he has to shoot at. The dis
tance between the plate and the right
field wall at Harlem is 1868 feet.
The right stockade at Detroit IS 3'o
feet away, and the right field barrier
in Pittsburgh, where Babe has made
home runs in exhibition games, is
376.6. The right field fence at Shlbe
Park in Philadelphia is $50 feet from
the home plate, and Babe has sent
several of them over that wall.

VIDAL'S APPOINTMENT
ASSURES OLYMPICS
American Committee Claim
That New Minister of
Sports is Back of Games

The successful staging of the next
olympic games in Paris is said by
members of the American committee
in New York to be assured by the re-
appointment of CASTOR Vidal as min
lister of sports in the new French
Poincare cabinet. Reports from Paris
that the new stadium will be erected
in the Pare des Princes comedies with
private letters received, and it is evil
dent that if present plans are carried
through, the Paris olympic stadium
will be the largest and best equipped
erected to date.
According to tentative plans avail
able in this country, the track for the
1924 international meet will measure
approximately 500 meters to the lap.
Both straight aways and each curve
will measure about 125 meters, or a
trife more than 130 yards, giving the
track a total distance of approxi-
mately 525 yards.

constructed for the olympic games,
and larger than any of the famous
college athletic tracks, such as the
Harvard stadium and the Franklin
Field cinder circuit If the Paris
course is completed in time to settle
properly, it appears certain that q
number of new worlds running rec
ords will be established.
From the spectators standpoint
elaborate preparations are also be
ing made to accommodate record
breaking throngs. Frantz Relchel
secretary of the French olympic com
mittee, states that there will be day
when the attendance is expected t.
reach the surprising total of from
100000 to 100000 spectators. This /
, far in excess of any previous olympi
gathering, and at first sight appear
to be improbable.
