1.-THE Skyrocket," by Adela Rogers
st. Johns: reviewed by Myla 10
Closer.
1.-THE Skyrocket" IL q novel Of the
motion picture world, written by one
who knows it, but is not Of it. Adela
Rogers st. Johns, although herself
very young, is the trouble lady,
and mother confessor" to profess
sional Hollywood. Her short stories
of movie life have won many ad-
mirers, and she is the author Of the
screen play Broken Laws" in which
Mrs. Wallace Reid has been appear
ing.
''The Skyrocket" depicts graph
ically the career Of screen star. 1t
is a bubbling book, charged with the
writer's abundant vitality, full Of
color and emotion. With humorous
insight, a strong sense Of drama, and
without undue moralizing. Mrs. St.
Johns shows the effect Of sudden
wealth on the girl from the laundry,
the boy from the village store
humble folk till now with no cultural
background and no knowledge to
guide them through the avenues Of
fame and power which success on
tho screen has opened to them.
Sharon, the girlish heroine, whose
drab and tragic childhood wins your
sympathy from the first chapter, is a
living, breathing personality, as full
Of imperfections as she Is Ct charm
One whirl of Fortunes wheel and
she sees her name in the lights Of
Broadway, and becomes so adored
and flattered as celebrity that she
falls in love with her own image.
This self-love nearly wrecks Shar-
on's chance for happiness with Mick
ey Reid-irresistible Mickey, whose
dark eyes and crooked smile capture
all hearts. Opposed to the young de-
votion which he offers Sharon, looms
the sinister influence Of Dvorak. the
great director, who has made" her
and, being himself obsessed by pas
sion for her, has convinced her that
marriage will damage her career.
Ambition and self-love are COM
bined with her monstrous extrava-
gance to work Sharon's undoing. The
shabby little girl, who wept when
her salary was raised, because $125
seemed too much for any one to
spend" becomes a regal prodigal,
overwhelmed by debt on an income
Of $4,000 a week.
At last Sharon Kimm arrives at
the crossroads. And because the
story is based on character her
choice seems inevitable. For 1.-THE
Skyrocket" is q true chronicle of
human frailty saved by what is in
nately noble. And, as such, it is a
story to make the heart ache, Won
der and rejoice. 1.-THE Skyrocket"
may be taken as signal that a new
novelist has arrived.

Editorial Comment
Filling Up the State Hospitals
(Portland Press Ueralol


The development of the paterRal-
lst1c idea in Maine has contributed
as much to the increase in the cost
OF the state government as any other
thlnS, with the possible exception OF
the construction of good roads.
Little by little the State has been
assuming the responsibilities former
ly carried entirely by the cities and
towns. While this has unquestion-
ably been an humanitarian thing to
90 and has helped to give proper
care to many unfortunates who are
not able to take care of themselves.
1t has, like many other things, been
subject to abuse anu today lne taA-
payers OF Maine are paying Tor it.
Ihat there has been abuse of this
paternalistic care which the State is
now giving to the different classes
OF its unfortunates there will be no.
body to deny. If there is any way to
lessen this abuse and to relieve the
state OF any of the heavy burdens
IT IS now carrying there should be
few who will offer objections
1t is believed by some that the
number of inmates of our insane
hospitals has been greatly increa sed
because OF the fact that the law now
makes 1t comparatively easy for a
city or town to relieve itself of On
pense and throw the burden of
maintaining u person who could as
well be cared for at home as to be
committed to one of the State in
situations.
1t requires only the signature OF
two physicians and the action of the
municipal authorities TO place Il
person in an insane hospital and
once they are there it is extremely
dlmcult to secure their discharge.
III there is nobody to move in at
tempting to secure discharge of a
person once admitted to an insane
hospital that person stays there in
dennltely as charge upon the State
There is a measure now pending in
the Legislature which provides that
instead of placing all the expense of
caring for a person committed to an
insane hospital upon the State that
the expense be borne by the city or
town from which the person is COM
mitted.
Ihere are many reasons given by
those who have made a study of this
question in support of the contention
that the present law should be
changed.
1t is believed that il every city and
town which sends u person to the
insane hospital were required to paw
SIX dollars a week, which is believed
to be the cost of maintenance at the
state hospitals, that there would be
fewer persons sent there.
1t is also contended that there are
many instances known where the
relatives of persons who have been

being ISL women and 903 men, with
a total membership of 1894 This is
record for the county as we'll as the

The leading communities in the
county for membership include Win

The women have had close con-
test in their membership and the
standing now is Farmingdale leading

BOWDOINHAM

The D. A. r. met with Mrs. c. L.
Brown on Pleasant street Friday. A
delightful repast was served at noon.
The decorations were very beautiful
and the table centerpiece was very
unique being a miniature representa-
ton OF the Bath Bridge which is
causing such lively discussion at
the Legislature this year. Automo-
biles were seen on their way across
and traffic cops on either end. Fish
were seen in the water. This, of
course, pleased the many Bath mem
bers present.
Friday night at the grange the con-
test supper was served to the winning
side. The decora tons were of turnips
and pussywillows. A very small tur-
nip was found at each place while
vases were made of turnips and filled
with pussywillows. Apple sauce was
not left out Of the menu. The Worthy
Master, George Hackett, was pre-
scented with a large cake which was
very prettily frosted, and had the
representation of a large turnip on
top.
The Eastern Star Aid, which met
with Emily Rideout Friday was well
attended. The quilt which they have
been making, was almost finished, and
lacking was planned for the near
future. Easter cards were sent to
many of their members who are shut
ms or away from the town at present.

committed to these hospitals are able
now escape making any payments
owing to the fact that the State is a
poor collector in Sucircases while the
cities and towns would make an eff
fort to see that responsible persons
, were compelled to pay for the sup
port of those whom they have been
instrumental in sending to an insane
hospital, ii the city or town had to
pay the bills.
There are great many cases
where the relatives of inmates of our
insane hospitals could pay such
charges if they were made to do So
Several cases have been reported to
the State authorities where people
have had dependents sent to the in
sane hospitals without any cost to
themselves when such persons are
well enough off to own motor cars
and live in a manner which indicates
that they could contribute to the
support of the persons the State is
now taking care of if they were
compelled TO do so.
If the cities and towns were re-
sponsible it is believed the number
would be decreased. This would re-
lieve the State of the need of con-
tinually making additions to it's
hospitals and lift a heavy burden
which the taxpayers of Maine are
| now compelled to bear.
OF course there will be objection
to the enactment of law such as
this. There are many persons who
| have come forward and made the
plea that on humanitarian grounds
the State should take into its insti-
tutions all unfortunate persons and
provide for them. Without attempt
ing to meet this argument, is there
| any good reason why the burden
which should be borne by the
family of person supposed to be in
sane should be carried by the State
If the responsible persons are we'll
able to pay?
If anything can be done to correct
some of the abuses which have
grown up on account of the present
law it should be done.
At least the Legislature should be
willing to try the experiment of see
ing what effect change in the
present law would have.
Certainly some way should be
found to protect the taxpayers of
Maine from being imposed upon. If
the law which is now proposed will
not afford such protection some
other way should be found to do it.

came to the Farmyard. It was now
quite dark, and seeing that no one
was in sight, he crel under the Big

then Old Sic'em. the Kind Farmers

started to follow, keeping his nose

'Sic'em, Sic'em," shouted the Kind
Farmer, Whats the matter? But
the old dog was now out of hearing,
having followed the trail of Sammy
Skunk along the Old Stone Fence,
and down to the Pleasant Pasture. so
the Kind Farmer went back into the
house to read by the evening lamp.
Poor Old Sic'em never caught

in to hide, and the ground being still
