No one ever gave him the chick

ports, he was as temperamental
as an opera singer and as deter"

With a. shape, constitution and
disposition like that you'd have
thought that old Tyranney would
still be going strong. But he
had one weakness which, In the
end, proved to be his undoing.
Despite his 40 feet Of ram.
bunctious rump and tail, his
brain was of the general size
and consistency of a moth ball.
The thoughts bred in that brain
were no wider than their source.
They were cramped, crabby
thoughts. but how old Tyranno'

He had no use for new.fangled
ideas. New families and new
theories might arise in the Mes.

have naught to do with them.

And no one could answer that

all that Mr.. Tyrannosaurus was

lived an humble little Therio"

Mesozoic society. But for all
that he had an agile brain. He
needed 1t. Life came hard for

Every summer, a man meets
the 'one girl in q thousand

Only an amateur wastes his

This is the season when man

A woman may forgive a man

Every now and then, some
man like n. G. Wells gets UP on

AT COUSINS
WEDDING
ME-. Cornelius BeecImanL

Mrs. Cornelius BeeckmanI
MY DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
lV1 I am going to . wedding OF
one OF my counsins. and at her
wedding [ intend to announce my
enRagemcnt. ] am not going to
be q bridesmaid or q maid OF
honor, although am going to be
dressed formally. I would like to
know II IL il proper to announce
my engn cement at the reading or
the kilograms.
3. Is It proper to carry bou-
Quet Of flowers?
BLUE EYES.
I do not quite understand your
question, because you did not tell
me whether or not your cousin
has invited you to announce your
engagement then? II she does not,
then II would be In very bad taste
for you to do It. To begin with.
YOU would have no right or priv"
Iege to do 1t then. And also, the
announcement Of your engagement
would mean that the bride. would
have to share honors with you,
and this is not fair to her, since
her wedding day should be hers to
make what plans she wishes to
make, and she should be the GEN.
ter Of attraction.
II she has, on her own Initiative,
invited you to make the announce
fnent Of your engagement at her
wedding. she II the. one to tell
when she wishes to have 1t done.
Talk 1t over with her.
2. Since you are not to be an
attendant at the wedding, advise
you not to carry a bouquet. You
would seem thereby to be CHASING
yourself with the attendants, who
carry flowers. Wear a corsage' II
you wish.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ How should a girl express
thanks when receiving gifts at a
party. r. H.
She should most graciously and
enthusiastically thank for the
kind thought first, and then
make some appropriate comment
on the gift itself. But she should
think about this beforehand, so
that she will not, in her excite
ment, find herself thanking
principally and entirely for the
gift only. The girl who has ex.
quisite intuition about life ana
other people. or the girl who has
been so beautifully trained that
she has acquired such sensiollity,
is the one to whose lips the
word "kind" or kind thought"
spontaneously springs. She reads
and appreciates the SPIRIT OF
other people, their wish to make
her happy. The other kind OF GIRL
the Grass, material girl, Is the
one who is the gimme" kind, the
girl who Is always Rrasping Tor
a material thing. This is the
girl who thanks for the THING
first-"What a lovely purse!
All OF this is to explain, dear
girl, that hope at your party
you will say, "How very kind OF
you! and such a beautiful even
ing bagw or Weren't you dear
to think of making me happy on
my birthday And how did you
know wanted fountain penn
or "What a friend you always are
Mary. You are a mind reader
the book Of poems is just what
I want" \

A girl demanding the life Of her
own mother!
This is. one of the powerful situa-
tions in "The Blind Goddess" pic
turization of Arthur Trains mighty
novel, which comes to the Eltinge for
Wednesday and Thursday.
The action involves four principal
characters; young prosecuting at
torney, played by Jack Holt; New
York politician, portrayed by Earnest
Terrence; his daughter and Holt's
fiancee, charmingly personifed by
Esther Ralston; and THE mystery
woman. impersonated by Louise
Dresser
Miss Dresser is accused OF murder
ing Terrence. Events leading up to
and following the crime indicate that
She is the guilty one. The gun found
alongside the dead mans body IS
proved to be hers. She was last seen
with Terrence. Her latch-key was
discovered in the room where the
murder had been committed. She
was fleeing from the city at the time
of her arrest. This and other CIR
cumstantial bits Of evidence are used
to build up the case against her.

Republican nomination for United
States senator. today directed letters
to l.. b. Hanna, Real Republican, and
Gerald p. Nye. N0npartisan, rival
candidates, demanding to know where
they stand on the question Of light
wine and beer.
Excoriating the Anti-saloon League
as a group Of "witch-burners,' Stone
also attacked the alleged effort Of
"paid propagandists and hypOcritlcal
statesmen. who vote dry and drink
wet to befog this issue in the minds
of the people,"
He promised tina. if he gets any
Anti-saloon League votes he will
"give them back"
His Letter 10 Nye
Stones letter to Mr.. Nye. which
he calls "A Challenge to the Drys,"
reads as follows:
Il am candidate for the Republic
can nomination for United States
senator
al am reliably informed that you,
Mr.. Gerald r. Nyc, are also Il candi-
date for the Republican nomination
and ! am also informed that Mr.. L..
Il. Hanna is candidate for the same
honor.
"You being the leading candidate
for the dry forces, ! am addressing
this challenge to you, not consider
ing Mr.. Hanna's candidacy Of much
Importance.
The Paramount Issue
"Lipht wines and beer is the par
amount issue before the American
people today. The desperate efforts
of the descendants of the witch burn
ers, the paid propagandist and the
hyp0critical statesmen who vote Dry
and drink wet, to befog this issue in
the minds of the people. have all
failed to fool the people. As Lincoln
has so truthfully said, you can fool
a part of the people part of the time,
a part Of the people all Of the time,
but you can't fool all Of the people all
of the time
"The unbearable tyranny Of the dry
forces marching under the banner Of
the immoral prohibition law has caus-
ed the people to rise up in righteous
indignation, .and openly proclaim
their opposition to this government
being longer controlled by the Anti
saloon Leagues, bootleggera, hypo-
crits and fanatics.
"The people have again declared
their independence. The day has
arrived when the good citizen can
openly express his views on the wis
dom Of any law, without fearing the
caiolery, duress and menace of the
highly organized minority commonly
referred to as the Anti-saloon League.
