CHARLIE CHAPLIN TO

He is resting from custard pies, as
he explained, while in Chicago, en-
route to New York to view picture

in which he does not act.
Chaplin says he hopes TO do better
things for the screen.
He will return TO comedy acting bnt
it will be more whimsical humor rath-
or than the slap-stick variety.
Only in the movies 10 the actors
register emotions with strange IA
cial distortions-the human is a con-
summate actor and covers his tr9ge'
dies with laughter.
They may laugh and they may
grin, aud they may joke with one an
other but each has his own tragedy,

lin referring TO the people in the
street.
HE does not show it becaus, the
American of today, pshaw, l might
say the human being of all time--is
Il consummate actor.
HE does not wear his heart on
his sleeve, and when trouble comes.
he does anything but weep and wall
and gnash his teeth-except in tie

but do not make the fatal mistake
which ruins the average movie of TO-

their situation.

Washington, ID. C., Sept. 27.-Pres-
ident Coolidge today asked Albert d.
Lasker, 'ormer chairman of The Unit
I'D States shipping board, for his adj
vice and judgment as to the best way
to handle the shipping problem. The
President sent for the former chair
. man because of the latter's familiarity

Of operation and his close contact with
the late President Harding, who de-
voted so much time to informal dis
cussions of the shipping question with
Mr.. Lasker.
The shipping situation at the mo-
ment is literally w in the air. The
recent opinion of Attorney General
Daugherty not only declared illegal
the proposed scheme of setting up SUBJ
sidiary corporations under state laws
with the stock to be owned in entirety
by the United States government, but
argued chat the shipping board could
not delegate its powers to any agen-
cies, thus casting doubt on the le-
gality of the present method, by which

I did not dream for one moment
that you could write me such a let

because 1 was afraid to trust myself
to answer it.
I announced to you my adoption

ling Leslie's condition that l had no
time to apologize TO you or any one
else for doing what consider one of
the most splendid things I ever have
done in all my irresponsible, careless
life. Being my mother, I thought you
would understand. 1t seems was
mistaken.
I hope you will forgive me, mother,
IL I say that this harplng upon an

tainly I have kind of pride IN the
fact that John Alden Is my ancestor
but I don't remember that he really
ever did anything so very wonderful
except he proposed to Priscilla for
himself when he was sent to propose
to her for Miles Standish.
We have invested the character,
think, with lot OF romaRcs and
poetry because of Longfellow's poem,
He probably was a man just like the
rest of us No better, no worse.
Ancestors only mean that one must
live up to the inheritance of good

doing this is in giving to u little,
helpless, innocent child my name as

Dear Miss Lee: l am 16 years old and

very uninteresting. Would you please tell
me what girls of my age like to talk about
and how I can make myself an interesting
talker? UNINTERESTING.
Girls of your age usually are most
interested in themselves, and their af-
fairs. However, to make yourself an
interesting talker. you should develop
a wider range. Know something
about books, sports, drama and cur
rent events, so that you can talk and
listen with. interest on almost any
subject. Don't be afraid to express
your opinions.

That is why we should consider
long and seriously before sacrificing
friends to whom we have grown to
love. for one who seems AT the mo-
ment, to mean more than all the rest.
Young girls, especially, are prone
to defy the world. imagining them
selves in love. Then, when disillu
sion comes, they find themselves
alone while their friends continue in
the old course. Friendship is hard
to gain and easy to lose Sometimes
we handle it thoughtlessly.
