An amusing incident occurred in
the making of Putting 1t over"
which tends to show the attempt at
realism in picture making. An cleo
ton speech was being made and a
huge crowd of people were in atten-
dance. From the midst of them
came loud-mouthed praises for the
speaker and his ability as a mayor.
The noisy n was discovered 10 be
an intoxicated person who had stag
gered into the crowd and drunkenly
believing that he was listening 20
the real thing The situation was SO
ludierous that the director photo
graphed the stranger in action.

turization of n Jack Boyle's fam
Gus Boston Blackie" stories, Cos
%rnopolitan Productions engaged a
notable cast of stage and screen eel
ebrities. This remarkable Para
mount picture will be shown at the
Strand theatre Monday.
Lionel Barrymore, whose creation
of THE Copperhead" as well as
numerous striking screen parts haze
marked him as an exceptional char
acter, will be seen in the role of
Blackie Dawson, the gentlemanly
safe-cracker. Louis Wolheim, who
leaped into fame with the first per-
Torrance on Broadway of 1.-The
Hairy Ape" was engaged for a con-
trasting type of the brutal criminal,
while Lowell Sherman, star of Law
ful Larceny" plays the role of the
polished Russian adventurer.

Am taking Mrs. Scott and John along so we will see the home folks again. We are all in fine health here, and fat and saucy. We like this place too, for it has a real good climate. So far We have had about 10 days in the sos, and the balance of the time not like winter at all-just fine. And 1t is so near the Outside We can get many things not obsainable in the Interior, so 1t seems like a different kind of living, although they have practical ly no gardens here. which is bad. The summers are too cold, with many frosts. There is certainly a fine bunch of people here, good clean people, with no past to re- gret and no present to dodge, and they have lots of good times to- gether--in fact, they have too many blamed things for old stiffs like me to want to go to them. The whole town seems to 90, and they have practically no such thing as a clique, for all look largely alike.
 There is a small lodge here (Masonic) and they have a fine bunch of men.
 We rented a dandy house, with furnace. and it's a clean town so it is not hard for the wife to keep house. Keeps me begging on the wood pile, as a furnace seems to take more wood than stoves. but 1t has the comfort. There are several fireplaces here, which must eat up lot of wood, but they are nice. There are some thirty real honest to-goodness homes here, which are furnished and fixed up nicer inside than any down below. They build here for real home and many of them stay a long time with the intention, it seems of being planted here.

At t he very heart of Scouting is the
requirement that every Scout shall Go
at least one good turn to somebody or

living up to this good turn" require
ment splendidly. Now to the great JOY
of the Scouts, there come a "good
turn" from the local banks of Plenty
wood to the Scouts. This "good turn"
takes the form of a subscription to
"The Boy Life Magazine" the official
Scout magazine for each Scout. The
banks are impressed with Scouting
and in doing this "good turn" want
especially to encourage the Scouts to
practice Scout law number nine. ga
Scout is thrifty, one application of
which is that a Scout must earn and
deposit at least one dollar in some
bank before he can become a second
rank Scout and at least two dollars
before he can become a first class
Scout. Every Scout hereby wishes to
express his thanks to he local banks
for this greatly appreciated "good
turn; it will help US to be true Scouts
