LONDON, July 24.--Few women
have straight knees, says the
eminent surgeon Sir William
Arbuthnot Lane who is making a
campaign for the greater use of
simple foods in an endeavor to
build up the constitutions of males
and females.
I'VE always have known that

says Sir William. And now that
women wear such short skirts any
one who takes the trouble to make
an observation when the winds are

May Lower 1925 Peach Yield.

Continued dry weather and whole
sale thinning of peaches practiced by
the great bulk of growers throughout
the peach belt will result in a slight
lower yield than was at first estimated,
according to report received by the
Illinois Agricultural Association from
A. B. Leeper, manager of the Illinois
Fruit Growers Exchange, and pub
lished in The Chicago Journal.
"The Illinois peach crop is coming
along in fine shape, however," said
Leeper, land promises at least 60 per
cent crop. The fact that growers are
thinning the fruit indicates that the
quality will be much higher than in
former years.
1.-THE peach crop this year win be
about normal in ripening commencing
about the first week in July and con-
tinuing until September There will
be plenty of finest quality peaches for
everybody this year"

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July pa
There are about 1000 manuscripts
filed away there. The envelopes have
been opened just enough to find out
what was din them and none OF their
contents has been read or is likely
to be read
The Young woman quoted was in
dicattng a series of Undiscovered
pigeon holes lining the entire side
of big, bare room in frame build
ing on the lot of one of the largest
motion picture studios of Hollywood.
The manuscripts referred to were
photoplays sent to the producers by
more or less gifted authors in all parts
of the United States. They had
reached the end of the rainbow and
there wasn't pot of gold there.
Virtually every large studio in film
land has a similar burial vault or
dead hopes graveyard" into which
are ruthlessly thrown without cere-
mony both the good and the bad. In
that literary charnal house may rest
a play afame with genius, but 1t is
condemned to oblivion because the
name of the author is unknown to
the young person into whose indif-
ferent hands it CHANGED to fall.
Fate Of Masterpieces"
How many masterpieces rest under
the dust in these studio fling rooms
will never be known. The young
woman clerical worker who conducted
| the writer through this studio came
here several years ago from small
town in the Middle West. One of her
duties is to preside at the obsequies
of the brain children of unknown
authors.
"They're mostly all nuts she OBJ
served, critically. II used to try to
read some of the stuff, but too many
of them used words I couldn't get, so
/ gave 1t up. All l do now is to make
sure the thing was meant to, be a
play. and then shunt it to the filing
room. We try to keep the comedies
and the dramas in different pigeon
holes. but that's about the best we
can do.
sc far as l know the only time
they're touched is when some gag
maker can't find anything funny in
his own noodle and comes here to
swipe a Joke or two. There are orders
against swiping the stuff. but the gag
men have to live"
Plays Are Not Read.
Are none of the plays rejected"
she was asked.
How can they be rejected without
being read?' she returned. t'Some-
times the authors inquire what has be-
come of their stuff and we send them
a form letter telling them to be pa
tient. If they come back we have to
dig up the sheets and shoot them back
to papa. Lots of this stuff has been
on our shelves five years"
Investigation at other studios re-
vealed that there is actually no chance
for the unknown author to get his
play read, not mentioning having it
produced. unless he can bring the
strongest kind of influence upon the
producer. The filing rooms at many
of the larger studios are under the
care of young boys and girls, through
whose immature and needless hands
all unsolicited manuscripts pass.

Since 1921 the population of Paris
has decreased by $4,000, or at the rate
of about 5000 per annum. This loss
is accounted for by the movement of
people into the surrounding country.
Nevertheless the housing shortage is
as serious as ever. because, to quote

have been driven out by banks, shops,
