Christmas Tree Vandalism.

Two men i'm northern New York have
been fined $500 each for cutting off the
tops Of 10 fine pine trees and selling
them for Christmas trees. Not a cent too
much for such ruthless destruction
BrattIeborO Rcformcr.
Lacking full information in regard TO
the work of these two vandalS The Herald
presumes that they were fined for lar
ceny--that they cut off the tops OF valu-
able trees without authority and practl-
.cally stole them from the owner.
What would we say if it were stated
that there are land owners in Vermont
who allow Christmas tree men to go onto
their woodlands and cut out the tops of
valuable spruce trees, paying the owner
a few cents for the privilege of destroying
half grown trees!
Yet that is what happens in n great
many eases if the information of the state
forester is reliable There is plenty Of
talk about bull spruce, cleaning up pas
lures, thinning out forests, etc, but when
one gets down to actual facts, back on the
hills where the trees are cut, there Is a
lot of reckless destruction of growing
trees.
Well. whose business is it but the own
cr'S-asES the bitter-end believer in per-
sonal rights. entirely losing sight of the
fact that the public interest in preserv-
ing watersheds, conserving rainfall. Great
ing forest reserves. protecting natural
landscape beauty. is something that is
growing every year with the growth of
public sentiment in that direction.
The state cannot take over d man S
property save for certain public purposes,
but it can do much more along the line

Christmas tree vandalism is only a
! very small part of a very large problem
and the men who own woodlands ought

methods are bringing them, because there
may come a time when the public neces

Should the Irish treaty be accepted bv
the Dali Eireann, which reasssmbIeS today
after the Christmas recess, it is generally
predicted that the ranking figure in the
new Irish government win be Michael
Collins. Collins is said to be a master of
finance and organization. Those who
have worked with him declare that his
grasp of such subjects is extraordinary.
He is credited, moreover. with being a
man Of wide vision. who does not measure
up things from narrow. partisan angle.
Under his guidance it is believed that the
resources Of Southern ireland will be de
veloped to a remarkable degree, and al

Leatriice Joy.

7 EATRICE JOY was born and reared
- in New Orleans. She made her
debut in motion pictures in THE
Folly of Revenge" with the Nola Film
Company. in her home town. She got
the job by answering an advertise
ment in one Of the local papers.
After her work in this picture she
went to New York and worked for
a while in on-reel Paramount come
dies. Later she travelled to Los Ange-
les and played in a picture with
Frank Lloyd.
Following this experience Miss Joy
went to San Diego and played in the
John Ray Stock Company. After eight
months of stock work she returned to
Hollywood and appeared in such pic
lures as "Bunty Pulls the String"
1.-The Tale of Two Worlds" Ace OF
Hearts," Poverty of Riches" and
Ladies Must Live" Her most recent
work has been in Cecil B. De Miles
Saturday Night" and as leading wom-
an for Thomas Meighan. in THE
Bachelor Daddy"
Miss Joy has black hair and spar
king brown eyes. She has all the
charm and grace which seems to be
the birthright of all southern women.
While in school at the New Orleans
Academy she learned q little creed
which she says has helped her dur
ing her struggles for her advance
ment on the stage and screen. 1t is
this:
20 God, help me to win, but If
not. then, o God. make me good

Making Picture at Sea.

DIRECTING and photographing a
motion picture from a platform
built outward from the deck-rail of
a big three-masted schooner at sea,
with nothing beneath it but the tur-
bulent ocean, would seem to be a
dangerous undertaking.
Allen H61ubar, during the filming
of his production of Hurricanes Gal"
starring Dorothy Phillips. chartered
the three-masted schooner Apollo. a
former German wireless information
ship, which was interned during the
latter part of the war. and took her
to southern California waters for five
weeks work.
when he wanted to make shots OF
action on the rear deck Of The
schooner he found his proper camera
angle could be obtained only from a
position outside Of the starboard deck
rail, so he rapidly constructed a plat
form and fastened 1t to the outer side
of the vessel. On very windy days
the schooner rolled to such a degree
that the camera was lashed fast, and
Mr. Holubar and his assistants Sc
cured themselves from being thrown
into the sea by using belts fastened
to the deck rail by. ropes.
