Age of Heroine
Advancing. in the
Silent Drama

Chicago. June 12-"Old maids
need hang their heads no longer"
The ideal age for a heroine OF
moving picture romance or of love
stories generally is today IS years, an
age that only a few years ago was re-
garded by the general public as fix
ing a woman definitely in the ranks
of confirmed spinsterhood. This is
the conclusion made from a careful
study of the %, 900 love stories which
the lay public, amateurs from all
walks Of life, wrote for the scenario
contest recently conducted by The
chicago Daily News. Representing

subject of the heroine's age is among
the first things to be noted by the
Judges said James Shryock, direct
OF of the contest today, announcing
the facts as brought out by the com
petition. 1T is too general to be ac-
ciuental and represents undoubtedly,
4 cOuntrN-w change in ideals
Few Of the heroines are in their
teens, only a handful are in their
early twentics. the great majority are
around - and IS, the authors seem
ing to regard this age as woman's
best and woman as more beautiful,
intelligent, poised and attractive
there than previously. TIE judges
declared that the age of the ideal
heroine had been advancing steadily
since the 1S70's when a girl of 16 or
II was regarded as romantically per-
feet
THE judges explain this by citing
womans entrance into industry, poll
tics, education and by pointing out
that woman today refuses to grow
old and takes better and more intel
ligent care of her beauty than she
did in early periods. In the stories
written by women, 500 of the total

MennOnites Prosper
After Leaving Canada
Occupy 100000 Acres

FL Iaso, Tex. June 11-Mennonitps
from Canada who settled two months
ago i'll Chihuahua, Mex. re learning
to build and occupy adobe dwellings
Of Mexican pattern. Contrary TO pes
simistic and sensational reports, the
colonists are getting on well with the
McXicanS and are well plea Sed with
the country, according to a score Of
Americans. Canadians. and MeXi-
cans, and Mcnnonites who have been
on the spot. The latter say that al
ready the Colonists have transformed
the valley Of san Antonio from Il
barren landscape INFO Il place Of
stirring villages, spacious barns,
gardens and trees. The Mennonites
occupy 100000 acres.
I.urid stories stating that the pill
@rims from Canada have fallen
among thieves are emphatically de
MED from responsible sources. 1t is
asserted on the contrary that there is
no banditry nor friction in the Men
nonites quarters; that they like the
MeXicans ana the MeXicans like
them" and that a second 1000 Men
nonites will leave Canada for Chi
nuahua IN June.
John +. ID. Wiebe, who helped the
first thousand Mennonites get located
in their new promised land, has just
returned from the colony. Since his
negotiations to get the sect from
their Canadian homes into Mexico
he has been made agricultural agent
for the Mexico Northwestern railroad.
The Memnonites like their Mexican
neiShbors and the MeNit ms like
them" he said. THE Mcnnonites are
busy planting and blowing, and
building houses ana barns. Their
children are in school, and sub
stantial building is used for school
and church. Their cattle are fat;
there is no sickness, and everything
is all right with them"
Mexican Consul General Luis
Monies de Oca, Of FL Paso, whose Of
fee helped arrange the passage Of the
first 1000 Mennonites. and other
I Mexican officials denied the report
that Mexico does not want any more
Mennouites settlers.
"A thousand more Mennonites will
leave Canada early in June. accord
Ing to present plans said Mr.. Wicbe.
"Frcight rates have been adjusted in
their favor. and rates through Vari-
Gus ports Of entry have been equal
lied. and the next train loads will
come through Fl paso. New rates
viii save the COlonists $500 to 81,
800 on trainload of freight, and the
Mennonites now are getting ready to
leave"
