AS one may gather who reads the dis

and queens of the movie world are heavily
burdened with education. In fact, l violate
no confidence but merely reveal some
what commonly known trade secret when l
say that some of screen stars really do
not write the articles art and kindred
subjects which appear from tin.o to time in
moving picture magazines under their ia
nous names. The press agent does the
work; they merely take the credit for it.
There is one rarely beautiful creature out
there whose earlier mental cultivation was
somewhat neglected There are still a good
many topics upor which she is ignorant
In fact, one man said of her once that the
only word of two syllables she knew was
'fillum; and another, who had known her
before she became illustrious, declared that
they had to burn down the school house in
order to get her out of the second grade.
This young woman was sittin5 in Los
Angeles restaurant giving the crowd the
saying goes. an eyeful. Her fragile lowell

the costume she wore

A CHAIR OF CHESS
BV DR.. Frank Crane

BY LIT. FRANK OTafle
~ ONE place in the courses of study in the
schools ought to be reserved for the
~ working of puzzles.
1t is all well enough to learn arithmetic
and algebra, botany and geography, and his
tory but fault which these students have
in common is too much certainty
To every example in arithmetic there is an
answer; but in real life often as not there
isn't any answer at all.
The flaw in exact sciences, considern g
them as training for life, is that they are
exact.
When a pupil graduates and undertakes
the real problems of life he finds in them
very little that corresponds to the processes
he learned in school. For instance, he has
before him such problems as these: How
to make friends, how to get a post, how to
sell goods, how to make love, how to live
inside his income, how to treat his wife, how
to manage children, and how to be decent,
happy, successful and reasonably good
Any one Of these things is more like the
working of anagrams, refuses, and missing
words than it is like multiplying 1877, 654 by
279. The latter is too easy.
Games in which skill and chance are
pretty evenly mixed are more like actual life.
Take game of chess. When you move your
kings pawn to the kings fourth square, get
out your kings knight and bishop and ad-
vance your queens knight, all looks pie !;
it's like arithmetic; but by the time your
adversary traps you and captures your castle,
and despair and panic invade your soul, and
you don't know what to do next, but still
believe you have a fighting chance, that is
very much like running a grocery store or
being elected to congress.
On the whole, chess, judicousy INDUCED
in, is one of the most instructive exercises
in the art of living. Of course, one can
overdo it, just as he can overdo eating. But
there are moral qualities in the game, as
game, and not as profession.
First, it demands attention. You cannot
one cannot win and be always on the de-
| fensive. 1t requires that you respect your
enemy; you dare not count on his making a
mistake in your favor. 1t develops self-con-
troll, patience, caution, and the observance
Of the rules of the game
Are not these the very qualities needed
in accomplishing anything in business? And
as to politics, how much pleasanter it would
be if conducted as a chess game is con
Quoted!
I should recommend, therefore, to any
commercial bandit that has grown offensive
ly rich, and that wants to endow something
to salve his soul, that he endow chair oil
chess in his Alma Mater
For life is not an exact science that can
be worked out by rule; it is a game oil
mixed chance and skill.

CHAPTER VIII
Gloria Takes Stock

n FOR Templeton, he was amazed that
n the warm, vibrant figure he had held
IN his arms could be the same girl
VINO ordinarily Qiqued him with her cool in
difference. She had been fiery, there had
been response in her every move and yet she
had been merely acting part.
Templeton was well schooed in the matter
OF screen lovemaking. He had held many
women in his arms and kissed them passion
ately in the final close-ups, but his vague
interest in Gloria had made this love scene
personal and he could not forget that mo-
ment of abandon on her part He was
stirred selfishy it is true but nevertheless
stirred, and Gloria s immediate return to her
attitude of cool aloofness was irritating in
the extreme
Man-ike, Templeton wanted her to appre-
clate his power. He wanted her to bow down
to him as the other women did, and Gloria
did no such thing. During the filming of the
picture they were thrown great deal to-
gether, but once off the set she saw nothing
Of him. She deliberately avoided him, and
THIS was partly because she could not quite
understand his attitude toward her
That he was interested was evident. but
just why he was interested she could not
determine. Was it because he felt her dis
approval and resented it? Had he gone out
OF his way to give her a chance in order to
swagger before her until she was willing to
do hero-wOrship at his shrine?
use Templeton if she kept himi interested
and she had no scruples about doing this.
He had arrived not through any real talent
but because of his undoubted good looks his
acting was nothing, he apparently had no
real sincerity in him. But he had arrived ;
he was screen idol, women all over the
country were mad about him, and for that
reason he was important. Furthermore he
had gone out of his way TO do a favor for
her She could not quite determine why he
had done this, but for the present there was
nothing to do but work hard and wait for
further Developments
Gloria s new salary had enabled her to
rent furnished bungalow out at the edge
of town. 1t stood alone in a dense mass of
shrubbery, and a poplar tree grew on each
side of the front steps Gloria loved her
place. She felt secluded and hidden away
from the world in it, and the suburban troll
ley line carried her almost to the door. When
Templeton heard where she was living he
was more than ever mystified. Why was she
so reserved? Why did she keep herself aIoof
from the rest of the colony as though she
felt herself better than her colleagues?
AS the days passed. Templeton realized
that he was making no Roadway with her
He saw her on the lot, but that was all, and
the filming of stranger Souls was almost
finished. Gloria was more intensely aware
of this fact than was Templeton. She knew
that her contract expired with the completion

4 Ne1u Cotton Tree

LII manner of interesting prospects
n are opened to imagination by the
news from Miami, Florida that the
Plant Introduction Garden Of the federal
department of agriculture, conducted near
that city, has succeeded in growing a tree
which If crossed with the latter, may pro-
duce, in process of time, an exceedingly
valuable fibre The tree, of which only two
are now known to exist, is called Kokia
Drynarioides and is propagated from seed
The sone other specimen of this rare variety
is in Hawaii whence were brought the seed
for the garden at Miami. rare achieve
ment it will be if the Kokia, which appears
fated to extinction on it's native island, is
ern States; still more wonderful if thi2 tree
which attans to height Of from fifteen
to twenty-five feet and to trunk diameter
of six inches or more, is brought to yield
long-staple cotton in commercial quantities.
The experiments to this end will be car
ried on by experts, who, as Science Service
relates, now pin their hopes getting
more seed from the only parent tree at
Kauluwai Even if crossing does not sue

an attractive ornamental plant as it has

bright-red silky flowers"

VACATION STUDY
BY H. Addington Bruce


" OUR child has now been out of school
for some time. He has doubtless been
reyelling in his holiday, romping in
doors and outdoors, and never giving
thought to lessons
Well, that is perhaps natural enough, and
certainly one purpose of the long vacation is
to provide increased opportunity for growth
through play But it will do your child no
harm, it will do him great deal of good, if
you induce him to begin to intermingle with
his play at least little study
He need not be Asked am inclined to
believe that he should not be asked--to study
the ordinary school textbooks during his
summer holidays. But in one way or another
contrive to get him interested in reading
books that will help to keep him in learn
ing attitude, and that will also help to keep
his mind actively exercised.
The mind as we'll as the body, it is mpor-
tant for parents to remember, grows soft and
flabby if allowed to be inert for any length
of time. Still worse, prolonged mental iner-
tia, like prolonged bodily inertia, breeds
distaste for effort
Then when effort is required-as it in
evitably is for every child on the reopening
of school-there is a resistance which inter-
feres more or less seriously with the gaining
of knowledge
All teachers can bear witness to the truth
of this from personal experience of the diff
culties of September and October. 1t &C
counts for the demand now being made by
various educators for a reeasting of the
school year, so that there shall no longer be
three months LAX in formal schooling.
The demand is not likely to be universally
granted But the fact remains that to per-
nit children to be study-free for entire
summer vacation is to handicap their men
tai growth. And that parent is wisely kind
who takes pains to see that his little ones
during the SIMMER are, not wholly mental
dlers.
The problem, though, is not one of forcing
them to study something. 1t is a problem of
observing, and if necessary creating per-
sonaI nterests-perhaps in geography, per-
and beauties of nature-that will stimulate
the child to read and study of his own &C
cord.
The range O.. choice Of subjects is wide
indeed. For all these subjects there
available books suited to the child's compre
tension. And once he becomes an eager
reader of any Of them, he possesses a sure
antidote to the mentally disorganizing eff
fects which teachers so frequently have rea-
son to attribute to the summer vacation.
He will then return to school prepared to
profit from it's instruction without any te-
dious and painful preliminary period Of re-
training 10 learn. He will be both a more
willing and an ADLER scholar than could pos
sibly be the case were he permitted to spend
the interval -5tween schools closing and
schools reOpening in activities requiring no
really earnest and vigorous using Of his
mind.
Give some consideration to this, l urge you,
for the sake of your child's future well-being. |

SHE ATE WITH HER KNIFE
BY JOHN CARLYLE
\ r OF long ago an Ohio preacher quit his
~ wife and nine children and ran away
with an eighteen-year- girl.

with an eighteen-year-old girl.
He says his wife cate with her knife and
was no inspiration to him"
1t might be added that Abraham Lincoln
doubtless ate with his knife, too. SO did his
father may have eaten with his fingers
Some of the best folks in this world eat
with their knives today
They are usually the same folks who stick
to one wife and stick to set of children and
stick to job.
The country needs some more of those
old-fashioned, knfe-eating Americans who
cut down the trees and fought the Indians
and built a nation out of wilderness.
They laid the firm foundations of the for
tunes which now enable the tea-hounds of a
new and softer generation to shake a grace
full salad fork and pick the right spoon with
the technique of the born expert.
"She ate with her knife and was no in
spiration to him"
Consider this ielly-fsh alibi We are told
this weak-backed exponent of gospel which
he couldn't possibly understand believes him
self to be martyr.
How about his wife who bore him nine
children?
With a baby forever on her knee she
never had two hands for knife and fork.
The fact that she was not an inspiration to
him had not the slightest thing to do with
the case.
A contract is a contract. Nine children
are nine children. job is job.
This man proves himself deserter and a
coward.
His wife was no inspiration to him."
What has he been to her? Who gets the
worst of this sorry deal?
The best thing he do is to get a Job,
support his nine children from a distance
and leave his wife to eat with her knife,
alone and in peace.
She deserves it.

The Criminal Road Hoo"

A RECENT accident on a Georgia high
N way, in which two members of a mo-
toring party were seriously injured
and another a child, killed, is said to
have been brought about by the brutal selfish
ness of a driver from the opposite direction
who refused the hapless group enough of the
road for safe passage SO The Journal is
told by high official of the Atlanta Auto
mobile Association, who writes: "You will
doubtless remember that Mr.. ---, while
in an automobile with two members Of his
family, in order to avoid striking an oncom
ing machcine, whose driver was monopoliz-
right bank of the road, which caved in,
throwing him, his wife and his little daugh
ter some distance below"
Human lives are continually imperilled if
not destroyed by the Road Hog" He is a
pest to every region, and always potential
slayer. often he adds speeding to his trans
gression of road laws. Often, too, he is
drunk Needless of the rights and safety of
others, he goes his ruffian way, defying pub
lie sentiment endangerng motorists and pc
destrians alike, amenabe to influence
save the laws heaviest and sharpest penalty.
"Road Hogs" fortunately are few. But
so long as even one remains at large, tragic
deal of harm can be done. Atlantas police
do we'll to keep their campaign for traffic
safety going with its original yigor against
all sorts of motor lawessness. Only by un-
ceasin vigilance and unflagging effort can
they accomplish more than transient reform.
Only by making every day of the three hun
dred and sixtS-fve a safety crusade of its
own, can they keep down the fearful toll of
life with which the year began. They are
heartily to be commended for their persist
ence,in this vital service. The public is SOL
idly behind them, and bids them go steadily
on. But if it were not for the faint of the
Road Hog" the task of traffic police would
soon grow delightfully."- simple.
That is to say, if all drivers were at pains
never to be discourteous or Indifferent to
another's interests, there would be hardly
one serious accident where now there are a
hundred. Selfshness is the curse OF the
Road Hog" and selfishness, to one degree
or another, is the cause of many casualty,
many manning, many death on the high
way. The news columns recently told of a
Brooklyn motorist who has driven for ten
years in Americas most crowded region
without an accident. He has only one rule,
and that is the Golden Rule. Keen eyes,
steady nerves, and good brain he I'M
doubtedly has. But his character, which
is his controller is best revealed in
bit OF counsel which he gives to
those who ask for the secret of his remark
able record do not overlook the rights of
anyone he says, particularly the rights of
pedestrians. They have privileges which
must not be denied feelings which must not
be forgotten. Use consideration in the
