/ New York-Congestion here is be-
coming so great that part of the
population literally is being showed
into the ocean.
That portion of the populace tax
ing to the water are mostly motor
car owners. If the New Yorker
wishes to drive his gas buggy out of
town on Sunday he must get up be-
he often must wait in line for hours
before he can cross on the ferries.

Sunday waiting on side road for an
opportunity to break into an un-
broken line of traffic on main
road.
This condition has resulted in
great numbers of those who crave
outdoor recreation taking to the
waters which surround New York.
Motor boats and other water craft
are at premium even at this late
season. Many prominent business
men are now living in small boats
and yachts. One of them told me to-
day that he had slept under blankets
all summer and that he never would
spend another summer night in a
sweltering city apartment.
Harry Bruno and Dick Blythe. two
young publicists, were forty-fve
minutes getting across Greensboro
Bridge last Sunday. When they re-
turned to town they sold their car
and went in search. of motorboat.
The dealer told them that if they
| would order their boat now he would
have it ready for them next June.
eve have sold more boats this
summer than we have sold in all the
years since the war combined" the
dealer said. "All motorboat factories
will work full time this winter TO
supply an even greater demand next
summer. In all parts of the country
where water is available the pleasure
seeker is turning from the highways
to the waterways"
On Sunday nights he sells papers
on Broadway. And during the other
six days of the week he attends to
his dry goods store in the Bronx
from which he gains an income Of
more than $4,000 year. There is
no such thing as a typical New
Yorker" But this man approaches
such classification.

pugilist, was telling him how to cure
head cold the other day. He gave

the fumes of whcih are to be inhaled.
"Then," said the pug, "just put a
towel over your head, draw long
breath and ignore it,"
The other night one of these big
ger and better super-specials was
presented in very large theater,
many of the seats were occupied by
those who came in on compliment

Since the international tennis matches at Wimble-

from an American. Harold Lloyd made shell-rimmel
glasses popular in America but it took Queen Mary
to make them popular in England. Needless to say

correct posture, are necessary fact

are, therefore, factors which must be
considered by those who are ambi-

Really Symptoms of Disease
You should know that a great many
of the abnormal conditions of the
skin of the face are in reality not
disease at all.
Many of these skin diseases, like
headaches, are merely symptoms of
disease or symptoms of disorders, in
some other part Of the body. Often
times distressing skin conditions are
due to disorder in some organ of the
body quite remote and unexpected.
Faulty diet is one Of the common
causes for an unhealthy condition of
the skin. A lack of fresh air, due
to insufficient breathing, is another
cause of unhealthy skin conditions.
There are, however,, some skin

Education

Forty years ago there were about $4,000 college
and university students in America Now there are
nearly half million.
While the total population has increased 70 per
cent the college population has increased 700.
Probably nne-tenths Of the present students are
the children of parents who did not themselves go
to college, Scarcely one in hundred OF them had
college-trained grandparents. What only

A Sermon for Today

the Bible brings the balm Of Gilead.
To the guilty and conscience
stricken, to the weak and despairing,
to the tempted and fallen, to the
troubled and careworn. to the
sorrowful and bereaved, to the sick
and dying the Bible comes and
whispers words OF peace and hope
and life.
The Bible comes to the man whose
life has been broken and spoiled by
sin, and tells him that his life may
be made over and transformed into
a perfect ideal of manhood, pure and
spotless, and radiant with heavenly
glory. The Bible comes to the poor
girl, who has lost her way in this
great big heartless world, and tells
her. Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow:
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool" The Bible
comes to the dying man to be his
guide book as he journeys forth into
the great unknown region, and tells
him to be Of good cheer-beyond
there is life and paradise. The Bible
comes 10 this world Of strife and dis
order and says, Let there be peace
and goodwill among men. The Bible
brings to us a Saviour and tells us
that through Him we may realize a
perfect ideal in character and a per-
feet ideal in society. Oh. what a
message! How sweet the sound.
How it thrills our hearts and sets us
to singing the glad songs of the re-
deemed.

As a mystery story 1t takes It's place
among the real thrillers. Thousands
of people have been used to give at
mosphere as we'll as action to many
scenes. CLANCY as the phantom
wears the most hideous makeup that
he ever has used. He is a monster,
a cruel genius who plans death as
easily as he plans beautiful music.
BY a strange power. he elevates a
member of the opera to first posi-
ton.
The phantom is a man. a weird
genius who is ugly not only in face
but in body. AS long as he wears
a mask and the object of his artistic
love does not see his natural face.
then the phantom is not dangerous.
Mary Philbin is cast as the girl
who receives the artistic influences
of the mad phantom. She even
yields 10 his demand that she 80 to
his hiding place. There she I'M
masks the phantom and sees his
terrible ugliness. This makes a wild
man Of the phantom played by
Clancy and he plans horrible pun
ishment for the lover of the girl
Norman Kerry is cast as the hero
and lover of the story.
1.-THE Phantom of the Opera" has
been built upon spectacular lines. 1t
is a big picture. The scenes at the
Paris opera are marvellous in their
Mechanical qualities. 1t is well to
remember that this entire picture
was made in America.
In spirit. the story is melodra-
matte. What realism that is present
is found in the scenes at the opera.
The rest Of the picture is melodra-
matte. Murder is committed along
weird lines during the unfolding of
the story.
CLANCY in the first part Of the
picture appears more as a shadow
than as a character. This increases
the mystery element regarding the
phantom and this factor is MASTER
fully developed
CLANCY is a master at makeup. IT

Mary Philbin Is increasing her
dramatic ability and in this picture
she looks more valuable as an artist
than she has In other movies. Her
role, of course, demands upon
Chaney's ability to inject melo-
dramatic horror into the story.
The cast is a very large one, es-
pecially when hundreds Of people
are used in the scenes at the opera.
These scenes prove that the screen
