 You certainly do hate booze don't you, Gloria?" asked Billy.
 And you'd, hate it, too, if you were l. she suddenly flared up, her face turning pale in the moonlight which poured in the windows of the taxi. The first thing that l ever remem- Der in my own home was seeing my mother cold and still on the floor where she had been felled by a blow from my father, yet my father was the kindest of men when he was no; drunk. But, as he was drunk mos. of the time, my mothers arms were usually discolored with bruises left by his big hands. Oh, I hated my father with a childish hatred that have never outgrown.
 FEven when my mother tried to make me think it vas not my father that was cruel to her. but the drink that made him so. l still hated him. But l hated the drink worse. Billy not one of you men would be cruel and mean to any. girl if you weren't lHlidneu Wlln liquOT.
 But a highball or two doesn't make any difference. Ria."
 "Yes it does. There Is a subtle change in everyone after one drink. That has been proven by science. Oh I hate it, I hate it! Now Fred Her ter will empty those flasks and after that heaven only knows what will happen"
 Well, heaven won't tell" said Billy flippantly.
 "oh, yes. heaven does at times. and then there is great upheaval. Some thing terrible happens that makes the whole world sit up and take no- tice. Oh, Billy. Billy. I hope it won't be Herb. I hated to leave him with that crowd. You know how reck- less they are.'
 Then why did you come away" l asked
 Because, my dear Virginia. l was more afraid to stay"
 Gloria is well versed in the sci ence of stopping -in- time that Gore beau speaks of
 When did you learn to read French books. Billy?" asked Ria in surprise.
 my dear. and 1 ended up with my five months in school at the Sor- bonne after the armistice."
 "Oh, you were at the University or Paris, Mir. Johnson?"
 Does that make me MT. Johnson to you. Virginia? I was one of the lucky men that they sent down to school after the war was over
 And after all that you came back to go into moving pictures?"
 Why not? Some day moving pic : lures are going to be one of the great levers that will move the world. Like every other gold mine, ,he in- dustry has attracted adventurers. The same kind of gambling spirit which you found in the Klondike and which you find now in the opening up of new oil territory. you can find in the movies.
 Tt is the men and women who want money and are willing to do anything to get 1t that all get-rich- quick ventures cali together. But as the years go by the venture becomes a real industry taken up by those of sane vision and made into splendid rd-looking and staple business. That Is the ultimate of the moving picture.
 T am glad you girls came home.

however, although we have turned our party into rather serious vein our party that began so frivolously.'
 Are you going back, Billy?" asked GloSia wistfully
 No, I. too. have got to work to- morrow
 What does Billy Johnson do we climbed the stairs to our apart ment after our adieus to Billy.
 He is a continuity and title writer. Billy Johnson is conceded to be the cleverest title writer Tn the business, and he gets all kinds of money for 1t. But I never new until tonight that he was college man. One is not apt to think in terms os college men when thinking of men connected with the movies" she said somewhat scornfully.
 Doesn't that bear out just what he said Ria. that more and more the movies are attracting men and wom- en of intellect and culture?"
 Meaning you, my dear. as well as Bill?"
 Meaning both you and me, Ria. If you didn't have a mind that ruled your heart you would be back there in the Turkish village
 More probably out at either Herb Richardson's or Fred Herters bun salow."
 Do you mean the girls will go out there at this time of night without d chaperon?"
 "Yes. those girls will. They arc the kind told you about. They will sacrifice their ambition, their chance of getting on, for what they call q good time. This is the first and lasr time, Virgie. that you must be seen with Kitty Dalton or Dorothy Hen shaw"

PRESIDENT TAXES
 RE|NSFOLLOW|NG
 PENROSE' DEATH
Necessity for Action Due to Long Delays in Essential Legislation and Prepara"
 tionS for Fall Elections
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald.
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington. January 10.-(Speciai) The President has taken charge of the legislative end of the government. He had to do so. It required strong hand. It was fast going to pot.
 The President was not satisfied be- fore Senator Penrose died. After his death. however he hesitated no longer. For during the extraordinary session. Senator Lodge, majority leader, was not impressive. And again, Senator Lodge at present is very buslly engaged in the confer once for the limitation of armament
 Necessity for action on the part of the President was due to two out standing reasons. Essential legisla- ton, long delayed and acutely endan- gered must be enacted, he held, if his administration was to prove sue cess; secondly. preparations, 1t was agreed, must be made for the con- gressional elections the coming fall.
 Realizes Need of Harmony
 The President holds that nothing
 
 in majority ranks. He realized that it was necessary to restore solidarity if there ever was to be harmony. Solidarity was impossible as long as the progressives had welded them selves to democrats in the so-called agrarian bloc. So the President sent for Senators Kenyon. Capper and Kel- logg.
 And the following night he con- ferred with Senators Lodge. Watson, Curtis, New and Frelinghuysen, of the so-called reactionary wing. The fol- lowing night he sent for Senator Por- ter J. McCumber, who was then slated for the chairmanship of the finance committee. And then he conferred with various other senators and at tending this last session were Secre taries Weeks, Daugherty and Hays.
 Method in Movements
 There was method in each of the Presidents movements. He told the members of the agrarian bloc that he sympathized with their purposes and would aid them, but not at the cost of the republican party. It is said that he called into play his very great powers of conciliation and persuasion, and that to reasonable extent, he was successful.
 In the second place it was neces- sary that he caution the reactionary wing to proceed with more consider ation for the agraran bloc. In the third place, it was necessary for him to caution Senator McCumber lest while chairman of the finance com mittee he give rein to some of his known characteristics which are at variance with the conventional re- publican ideas regarding fiscal mat fpTa EnT Mrf har pn middle ground between that occupied by the late Penrose and the ever present La Toilette. And as such. he Is not sat- isfactory to the east which for the first time In 50 years or more is pre- pared to behold any other than an customer the head of the finance committee of the Senate.

PETITION SEEKS VOTE ON
 PHIL CAMPBELL STATUS

Phil Campbell. January 1o.-tspe- ciaI)-A petition has been promul- gated which has for it's purpose the calling of an election through which local voters would have the oppor- tunity of expressing theh sentiment as to whether the municipality or Phil Campbell should remain ineor- porated, or whether the municipal laws governing it's existence as an incorporated power should be abro- gated Apparently little steam has been generated Tn the campaign thus far, although 1t is probable that some thing more interesting may develop. High cost of government Is given as the reason for promotion of the petition by it's sponsors. and, on the other hand. those who would oppose the change point to the fact, among other things, that public drunkenness Is practically thing of the past. and that this feature alone is worth what ever additional tax that might have been levied by the municipal board. At present the town is served by board of mayor and four aldermen and a day marshal.
