Laskey Will Open
 School to Strangle
 Actors Temperament
By Associated Press

New York, June s2o.-Emotion of motion picture stars of both sexes surged with stifling confusion to- night when Adolph Zukor. president of the Famous PlayersLaskey Cor poration, informed the profession that he had established school at Holleywood to strangle temperament and lot of other things.
 While the object of the school is to establish a perpetual reservoir of talent, the $10.000. .000-a-year young lady who sticks out her tongue at the director when he ob- jects to the way she thinks the pie ture should be made. Is going to have a hard life. There will be a weekly rating card for good and bad marks, and if the required 75 per cent is not obtained, the penalty Is expulsion from the company. The stringency of the rules even extends to the players conduct outside the studio, which will be covered in a weekly confidential report from the director.
 Conceding that temperament is a valuable asset. the rules proclaim that. Temperament out of control Is a nuisance to yourself and everybody about you. Bursts of so-called temperament in the studio will not be tolerated"
 "The faculty of instruction in- cludes Norman selby. better known as Kid Mccoy" former heavyweight pugilist. and now a screen actor, who will be in charge of physical culture, the conduct rules emphasiz- ing that "the basis of all good work Is good health" Sufficient sleep. avoidance of alcoholic stimulents and late hours. and care in the choice of associate outside the studio are graduation requirements.

BURGESS BED-
 TIME STORY

The. four children of Whitefoot the Wood Mouse were no longer babies The time had come for them to begin to venture out Into the great world Like all healthy little folks. they were full of mischief and delighted to play. But Whitefoot and Mrs Whitefoot knew that 1t was time for them to go to school. That is 1t was time for them to learn certain things very necessary for a young Wood Mouse to know if he wanted to grow up.
 So whitefoot started In to teach them their first lessons, and what do you think the first one was? IL was fear. Yes. sir, it was fear. At first the youngsters were not at all afraid. In all their short lives they never had had fright They didn't know what fear was. When they came cut of their home to make their first very short journey out in the great world they were filled with wonder at everything they saw. but they were not afraid. You see, they didn't know enough to be afraid. So the first thing they had to be taught was fear. The more timid a
 
 likely to live.
 Now, children" said whitefoot very gravely. You follow me and do exactly what I do. Before we start off I will tell you some things that you should know, In the first place. the great world is filled with enemies, always seeking Wood Mouse" sltsss
 What for?" asked one of the chil- dren.
 ITO eat" replied whitefoot so solemnly that each little Wood Mouse shivered clear to the tip of his tail
 Why should they want to eat us7" another asked.
 Because by certain people a Wood Mouse is considered the finest eating to be found" replied whitefoot. There are enemies who will hunt a long, long time and wait very, very patiently to catch Wood Mousse"
 "Who are these dreadful enemiesT' a third youngster asked.
 Whitefoot stroked his whiskers thoughtfully for a reply. At last he spoke. q think" said he, q will tell you first of the enemies to be watched out for in the day time. To begin with. there are the members of the Hawk family"
 What IS daWkT plped up the smallest of the children.
 Tt Is a great bird," replied White foot. There are many members of the family but they are all alike In their love for Wood Mouse dinner. They have very wonderful eyes. They can see from a great distance. Some of them sit in the tops of tall trees and watch. When they see a Mouse they swoop down with great speed to seize that Mouse in terrible claws. It takes 8 quick-moving Mouse to escape them. Sometimes they seem to drep down right out of the sky. You must always be watching for Hawks in the day time.
 Then there is another big fellow" continued Whitefoot. "He is black and he is called Blacky the Crow. He Is not nearly as big as the Hawks and he doesn't spend much time in hunt Ing for us. But if he should happen to see one of you by chance, he would be very likely to try to catch you.

SEVENTY MEMBERS FOR TREATY AND 30.
 OPPOSE IN IRELAND.
Incomplete Returns Show Great Victory for Pro- Treaty Members of DaiI
 in 100 Contests
Br Aaeoclated Presr

Dublin, June 20.-The results of the elections are still incomplete and final figures in some of the impor- tant constituencies will not be an nounced until Wednesday. There has been some hitch at Waterford, which, with Tpperary east, forms a con stituency of five seats, and two of ficials of the provisional government have gone there to straighten the matter out.
 The De Valera members whose seats in the Dali are endangered in clude Catahl Prugha (Charles Bur- gess), former minister of defense, and Seamus Robinson. one of the leaders of the dissentient section of the army.
 Both Sides Affected
 The nature of the hitch is not def initely known. The success of the independents has affected both the treaty and anti-treaty panelists, but the anti-treaty candidates far more severely than the others. The re- publicans had counted on dropping 15 seats of their existing strength, and thus far, with 2S seats still un- announced. they have dropped II. Ac- cording to estimates they may drop at least eight more.
 The most conspicuous success of the De Valera adherents, and the only constituency in which they have suffered no loss, was Mayo east and Sligo, with five seats, of which they held and still hold three.
 PrO-treaty Men Ahead
 Including all the uncontested seats, the results are known in the case of 100 members. Of these the pro- treaty panel won 30 on contest which with IT uncontested seats gives & total up to the present of 47
 The anti-treaty panel survived the contest in 13 seats, which added to r uncontested gives this side 30.
 Ten labor men, all pro-treaty, are returned. Nine pro-treaty independ- ents have also been returned and there are four representatives un- opposed from Trinity College, who formerly belonged to the unionist party bu tnow support the treaty.
 Of the first hundred. therefore. there are on the treaty issue TO mem- bers of the new Dail in its favor and 30 against 1t.
 The outstanding surprise of the elections is the large vote given for the labor candidates.

Works Proposes q Reduction in Glass
 Rate to Harding
By Associated Press

Washington. June 2o.-Postmaster General Works Is understood to have told President Harding during to- days cabinet meeting that he would readily agree to legislation reducing rates on second class mail matter if some method was evolved whereby tho post office would not sustain a deficit. The present rates as ap- piled to the larger shipper. he is said to believe. are too high or pub fishers would not be utilizing private agencies in the transportation of their products.
 Under proposed reduced rates said to have been suggested by publishing houses. the governments revenues, it was declared, would be decreased by approximately S70,000.000. Such reduction would mean a saving of $10,o0o, 900 annually to the publishing houses. the latter were said to have estimated, adding. however. that in the event of reduced rates a much greater volume of business diverted from express and railroad companies would make up any deficit and would result in profit of several million dollars to the department

Then there is Buster Bear. He Is a terrible big fellow"
 "Is ne as big as your" asked the smallest one.
 Whitefoot Just had to laugh. He was tickled that any one. even one of his own children. should think him big. "Yes," said he, "he Is as big as I. In fact he is thousand times bigger. He is so big that l would hardly make one of his toes."
 "Oh-o-o-o!" cried the four little Mice together. and their eyes grew round with wonder and opened very wide.
 "Yes," continued whitefoot, "he is great giant and you never know when he may come along. He hunts by day and night both. His great claws can tear an old stump to pieces, or dig you out of a hole in the ground. But he Is so big that you can see him coming and so he is not as dangerous as a Hawk"

ONE PERSONS TESTIMONY WON'T CONVICT, IS RULED
Rx AanocIntcd Prese

Montgomery, June 20.-No one per sons testimony that he found bar rel of liquor under a mans house is sufficient to convict the household for violating the prohibition law. The Alabama court of appeals laid down this ruling In a decision an- nounced this afternoon in the case of Frank Connolly vs. the state. Judg- ment of the circuit court of Madison county, where Connolly was con victed and given a hard labor sen tence, was therefore reversed and the case rsmanded for a new trial
