Pity Poor Cow, Also
Those Who Milk Her

Atlanta, Ga.-Funny thing about
cows-the more they are MIXED the
more milk they give, according to
officials of the Georgia Department
of Agriculture Sounds bit unreas-
enable, for usually when a COW is
MIXED, or pitcher is emptied, that's
an end for time at least to the con-
tents of the pitcher or the milk sup
ply of the COW. With cows, however,
the agricultural department offici ais
said, it appears that frequent milk
ing stimulates the cows desire to
make good, and she supplies the de-
ficiency the milkings have created.
Recent studies completed by the
agricultural department of the gov
eernment, it was stated at the capt.
toll, have found that milking three
times day produces more m ilk than
twice day milking.
There will be no shouts Of joy
from milk ma ids or boys who are as
signed the milk maids task if three
times-a-day milking is inaugurated on
Georgia farms, it is claimed.

The Unexpected In
Chaplin Photodrama
MANY STRANGE HAPPENINGS IN
"a WOMAN OF PARIS" HIS
FIRST SERIOUS PRODUCTION.

1t is the unexpected unforeseen
happenings in life that tend to make
living interesting. In "a Woman OF
Paris" Charles Chaplin's drama OF
life, coming to the Grand Theatre
Monday and Tuesday, are the unex-
; pected happenings of theh photoplay
showing something new and different
in the motion picture, creating new
and added interest to this form of the
public's entertainment and recrea-
ton.
In the first place it was unexpected
that the justly famous Charles Chap
lin should even temporarily desert his
comedy roles for the production of
the serious drama. 1t had been I'M
thought of that he would produce a
photoplay in which he himself did not
appear, yet these and more unfore-
seen happenings have come to pass,
and it is the unexpected incidents
that appear in "a Woman of Paris"
that ankle it the most interesting
photodrama yet produced.
In this Chalres Cahplin production
for United Artists Corporation, the
movie fan who can always anticipate
the next incident or what will follow,
is going to meet with a reversal of
form. Chaplin outguesses one at
every turn. Where one may visualize
a scene to follow or what will next
happen, one is treated to something
different, yet there is never
any feeling of disappointment, so
something just little bet
ter than he anticipated, something
new, something more interesting
altogether away from the
form of movies.
"a Woman of Paris" is a distinct
departure from anything heretofore
ever presented on the motion picture
screen.
