of earnest thinkers. You can run the full gamut of nutty thought up there. And it isn't all so nutty.
 If Freud was right, the Margon fam fly have inherited a complex against photographers. Nothing so enraged Pierpont Morgan as the sight of man with a camera. He was sometimes ac- companied on his public appearances by a husky guard whose duty was to smash the apparatus of the photograph ic art and sometimes the artist. As he grew older and perhaps more mellow he changed tactics.
 "Let me alone, boys" he said one day. T do not like to have my picture taken. Now and then I'll stand for it, but don't devil me-"
 For years an informal truce was maintained between the great banker and the picture shooters. Now the head of the Morgan firm, woh began life as Jack Morgan, and by degrees has grown in public estimation until he is known as "Young J. P.," has asked for a simi- lar armistice. He cannot avoid the cameras entirely, for he has not attained his fathers authority, but he has com promised with their bearers. They shoot him in q body by formal arrange ment upon occasion, but the guerilla warfare has been declared off.
 Wife of a rich friend, who lacks the business acumen which made her hus- band wealthy, directed her secretary to balance her bank account and go through the household books.
 'Very extraordinary" the secretary reported. "I find that for the last year you have used an average of four dozen cakes of soap Q day at home"
 The rich woman spoke severely to her servants. She said that she realized they would always graft, but their pow erty of imagination appalled, her.
 "When you want a little easy mon ey," said she, charge other things on the bill. Paint, brass polish, door knobs, anything but soap. I'm tired of soap"

AT THE TEMPLE

A romance that for tragic strength rivals Romeo and Juliet" is said to be contained in Marshall Neilan's latest photopIay, '"The Rendezvous" which which will have its local premiere at the Temple theatre on Monday
 The piece is typically Russian and of fers this producer type of story that is entirely different from picturizations he has handled in the past.

Naylor's Original Seven Aces, witt Oliver Naylor himself, hold forth to night at West Lake park, giving a gen. eral musical program in playing for the Monday night dance. This ma, tionally famous orchestra, with a repu- tation all over the United States, will be a treat for those who love to dance and those who love good music. Therl will be a big crowd at West Lake to- night, and Manager Ryan extends a cordial invitation to the public to come join in the festivities.
 Bathing, as well as dancing, is in great popularity out at cool West Lake, due to the sizzling down town heat which seems to make the public ap preciate all the more the cool breezes that play over West Lake. Then, too Manager Ryan points out that West Lake is so large that crowds never crowd, and there is always a feeling of room a plenty, no matter how many come out.
