Tony Moreno.

I hadn't seen Tony Moreno for a
long time until the other day. The
"other day" lunched with him-and
his wife-at the Hotel Biltmore sin
New York. Tony is in New York for
the signal purpose of making THE
Exciters" at the Famous Players
studio in Long Island city. Agnes
Ayres was originally designed to play
with him. but Bebe Daniels IL the
final choice, for one reason or
another.
He was also honeymooning. Tony's
being a married man deals another
blow to romance. I told him 80. I

and now you. what is there left for
the poor girls to hope for?" Tony
said, Ramon Navarro" There's
something in that, of course.
Tony held out long while. When
/ talked with him on that former re-
mote occasion, 1 could almost have
predicted bacherlorhood for him. He
was so particular. He said things
like, IF l ever marry want to marry
a girl who knows more than / do. A
girl who will read highbrow stuff to
me, and all that sort of thing. A
mental romance"
Well, l would say that Tony has
has been married before. She Is a
woman of very high social position,
cultivated, poised, whimsical and
charming. She is also interested, and
has always been interested, in the
cinema and its people-even to the
extent of having lost, at one time
or another, considerable sums of
money in productions, than which no
proof of faith Is greater
She met Tony about four years ago.
She told me that she had always ad-
mired him on the screen, even prior
to meeting him.

that he was a meek disciple of the

associates with successful, well ball

Reddy Fox Hears About
Johnny Chuck.

That this or that cannot occur
-Blacky the Crow.

Such a racket as there was over
near a certain old stone wall that
beautiful spring morning, Bowser
the Hound was barking as if he were
trying to bark his head off. Blacky
the Crow, in the top Of the tree a
short distance away. was caWlng as
If he were trying to cav his head OFF.
And in just the same way Sammy Jay
was screaming at the top OF his voice.
1t was a still morning and those
voices carried a long distance.
over in the Old Pasture Reddy Fox
sat with his head on one side, listen
ing. Il wonder what all that fuss is
about" muttered Reddy. Something
exciting is going on. l wonder what
il can be. / believe I'll slip down to
the edge of the Green Meadows and
see if l can find out what is going
on"
So Reddy swiftly trotted down to
the edge of the Green Meadows and
peered out from the bushes toward
the place from which all that racket
seemed to be coming. It's over by
that old stone WALL" muttered Reddy
as he raised himself on his hind feet
in order to see better. 1T must be
something very unusual to get Blacky
the Crow so excited. Sammy Jay
get excited about. l would like to
to, anyway, but Blacky doesn't get
excited unless there Is something to
get excited agout. / would like to
get near enough to see what 1t is
all about, but it would be foolish to
show myself, and the grass is too
short for me to hope to keep out of
sight. Perhaps one of those fellows
will come over this way and l can
find out what it all means"
Sure enough, he hadn't waited very
long before he saw Blacky the Crow
heading his way. Reddy stepped out
where he knew Blacky would be sure
to see him. Blacky did see him, for
there is little those sharp eyes of his
miss. Instantly Blacky turned so as
to fly directly to where Reddy was.
He alighted in a small tree on the
edge of the Old Pasture.
What is all the excitement about q"
demanded Reddy.

When ask a question I like truth

don't believe it go look for yourself"
"Chucks don't climb trees" snapped
Reddy.
Don't they? Well, there Is one
that does" retorted Blacky He
looked over toward the old stone wall,
and then excitement made his eyes
brighter than ever. Coming down the
Long Lane he saw Farmer Browns
Boy, and he knew that Farmer
Browns Boy was on his way to find
out what Bowser was making such a
fuss about.

April and May, or even in March, they
may be seen in the parks running over

The friendliness of the robin and
his joyous swinging songs have made
him universally loved wherever lie
nests.
The nest is very substantial, of
coarse grasses and rootlets, with an
inner wall of mud and lining of line
grasses. 1t is usually built in fruit
or shade trees, but occasionally in odd
places, even on the ground. Two

POOR TIME TO ARGUE

II the pursuers of the sugar band
its stop TO argue about the tariff
the thieves win get away. The pres
ent tariff on sugar, which is from q
cent to IL cents greater than the
Underwood tariff. has no more to do
with the sugar raid than it has to
do with the price of bananas.
Under the former tariff this coun-
try saw the greatest profiteering in
sugar the world has ever known
sugar sold in some localities as high
as 35 cents a pound. There was no
more excuse for that price than there
is for the present price.
In Canada, which has no Fordney-
McCumber tariff, sugar is wholesal-
ing at 10 and IL cents a pound. In
the Liverpool market cane sugar is
quoted at ~ cents a pound, and in
London, 1853 cents.
1t is the sugar gamblers that are
doing the dirty work, not the tariff,
which is merely high enough to save
our domestic beet sugar industry
from destruction by foreign eompeti-
ton which prices go below the cost
OF production in this nation.

EMPLOYE OWNERSHIP
INCREASES

Three years hence, employees of the
Standard Oil Company OF Indiana
will be the largest single group of
stockholders and will open more
stock than any other individual or
collective group of stockholders in
the country, If they patronize the
stock purchasing plan in the next
three years as they have done in the
last two.
Out of $1,000 stockholders, 10000
are now employees. Thus are the
workers in our greatest industries
becoming more and more the con-
trolling factor in the properties in
which they work.
This is much better than public
ownership, because under this plan
every employee is working for him
self, while under public ownership
he would be working for the state
or federal government with no in
centiye to save because of benefits
or profits accruing to himself.
1t is for this reason that private
has always been more
and always will be more eff
ficient than public management.
