WORDS FROM

WISE MEN
oOpyrtghs, 1928. b Star Company

RKEN of mettle are made be-
/" tween the hammer and the
xVA anvil.
The well-spring of our best
thoughts is in the heart.
A wise man is never less alone
than when he is~alone.
Actions measured by time seldom
prove bitter by repentance.
Antiquity cannot privilege an
error, nor novelty prejudice a
truth.
To be content with little is true
happiness.
How cheap
Is genuine happiness. and yet how
dearly
Do we pay for it's base counterfeit!

Deceives his purpose of the due
reward.

Fame is a coy goddess that
rarely bestows her favors on
him who seeks her-a phantom
that many pursue and but few
overtake.
The poorest man
May taste of Nature in her ele-
ment.
Pure, wholesome, never cloying,
while the richest
From the same stores does but
elaborate.

Hopes twilight comes-faith's

MOVIE l

Dusty Rhoades, Virginia MacMur- ran and Pat MacMurran, the three principal characters in "What's Your Hurry?" the fine automobile story in which Wallace Reid was starred some months ago, are revived in MT. Reid's newest picture, "Too Much Speed" which will be featured at the Empress Theater tonight.
 The picture opens with Dusty Rhoade's withdrawal from the racing game and he plans for his wedding to Virginia MacMurran. While Dusty and Pat MacMurran are on their way home in a limousine, rival dealer, whom Dusty had formerly represent ed in racing events, passes them in a car. Dusty's sporting blood is aroused and he speeds up the linn cuisine and passes the rival, but ends in the ditch. MacMurran is angry and calls of the wedding, whereupon Dusty takes the waiting bride, jumps in a roadster and speeds away.
 Those who wept and laughed at "Humoresque" will have an oppor- tunity soon of seeing another East Side story by the author of "Humor- esque," Fannie Hurst.
 The new picture is "Just Around the Corner" and not only is the or iginal story the work of one of the collaborators of the screen version of "Humoresque," but the scenario and direction are the work of the scenario writer of that classic Frances Marion. It will be shown at the Empress Theater Sunday.
 "Just Around the Corner" tells the story of the Birdsong family living in New York's East Side. It is a story of family devotion, of the strug- gles of mother, a daughter and a son to preserve the untarnished name of their family in the face of poverty and their ultimate triumph. Love, humor, misfortune, smiles and tears and smiles again all play their parts.

TODAY-American bells now cheer the peasants in northern French re- gons devastated by the war, writes Alice LangeIier, Paris correspondent.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-03

PARIS, Feb. 3. - The chimes of American bells are heard these days in devastated regions of northern France. They were given by the "Angelus Fund" in memory of Amer jeans and well-known Frenchmen who lost their lives in the late war and replace the old bells taken by the Germans to be melted into canon.
 For several years hundreds of vil lages have been without bells which play a very important part in the community life of France. They ring for new babies and they ring when they marry and again when they die. Of all the material losses sustained by the French peasants, probably not one was felt more acute ly than the disappearance of the bells.
