America" They get the notion that
they can go through life success
fully on the strength of having won
some silly contest"
Verdicts "Meaningless"
Mrs. Lee ciinched her argument
by asserting that beauty verdicts
were meaningless because "the en-
trants never represent the finest
flower Of feminine culture"
While many delegates aggressively
sided with the New jersey leader,
others as instantly took the view
tfat public displays of beauty tend
ed very definitely to eradicate the
furtive sex attitude and to promul,
gate eupenics that it was promoting
finer physical ideals which would
vitalize the race. These discounted
the commercial element.
Some even suggested seriously
that beauty might only be thorough
ly established as social ideal in
this nation Of de.fied business by
being considerably more paraded
than hitherto as an adjunct to the
sale of soap, real estate, automobiles
and silk stockings.

Two Accidents on First
Day Of New Patheserial

Thr very first day Of work on her
newest Patheserial "Ruth Of the
Range" Ruth Roland got two personal
thrills not written in the scenario. They
we're working on location at Chatswortb,
and while fighting with couple of
husky Williams, Ruth got overweight
and nervous and tainted,
IN the next scene she was running
her horse, "Mack," at top speed with
twelve horsemen in the rear, trying to
catch her. When on the side Of very
steep hill Ruth's foot slipped. If she
had fallen there was not chance but
that she would have been trampled to
death under the hoofs Of the twelve
horses who were now close upon her.
How she managed to stick on Ruth
doesn't quite understand. She grabbed
madly at her horse, trying to clutch
his head, name, or anything by which
to retain hold. She finally managed
to catch hold of a few wisps of his
name and drew herself up.
