Confidence in Self
Mans Biggest Asset

Life is an island, entirely surrounded
by risks, losses, troubles, hardships and
misadventures Of all sorts.
Most men go to pieces when they
have had a few beatings. They wilt.
They fade away. They crawl into
safe little corner and hide, while the
great rough tide Of glorious life rushes
past them.
The fact is that defeat is the normal
thing in this haphazard little world
and victory comes but seldom. Every
victory, usually, is the result Of a long
series of defeats.
A man must have faith in himself
and in what he is trying to do. He
must say: 81 can" He must back
himself to win. He must bet on him
self He must have faith in the peO-
pie he works with. He must believe
In his team. He must see the better
side of his co-wOrkers and not think
that his own point Of view is the only
right one.
He must have faith in those great
principles that make us superior to the
animals Of the fOrest-tO Truth, Hon
esty, Sympathy, Justice, Progress

Screen and Stage
Strand, Smyrna

Thursday - One of the finest pic
lures ever screened is "The Lights OF
Old Broadway" starring Marion Dav-
les. Laid in the quaint settings OF
the New York of the early seventies,
the story charms with its fragile,mOv-
ing romance of a little lady of the
theatre and her wealthy and forbidden
suitor. Under the sensitive direction
of MOnta Bell it becomes truly a re-
production of life.
Saturday-"The Tower of Lies"
which comes to the Strand this Sat
urday, was held over for a second
week, and is now playing at the Stan
ton Theatre, Phila., so be sure and
see this page from the book of life!
She had made the one fatal mistake
for a woman, and all the world had
turned against her. Only her father,
and the boy who loved her, kept their
blind faith in her-Here is the strong
fabric of real drama, made into pic
ture with a mighty human message.
Norma Shearer as the wayward girl
who finds happiness at last, and Lon
CLANCY as the father here reach the
triumph of their screen careers.
Monday and Tuesday - Recon-
pense,' a sequel to "Simon Called
Peter" Since the publication of Rob-
ert Keable's sensational novel "SimOn
Called Peter" the reading public has
been demanding insistently the rest
of the story. Mr.. Keable offers it in
"Recompense." One would go far to
find a more notable story of the crys-
tallization of character. The lives of
Peter and Julie develop into a climax
that is astonishing-yet inevitable. In
"Recompense" there is all the bold
courage in telling of life and love that
made "Simon Called Peter" a storm
center. Here is the tale of what fol
lowed that tempestuous weekend IL
London. Few love stories are so al
Turing and unusual as this one.

Grief in Animals

A man or woman who loses some
dear one is overcome with deep sOr-
row, remembering only the admirable
qualities of the lost one, but this feel
ing is soon sOftened by multitude of
external impressions and influences,
so that sorrow gives way to melan-
chOly, which In its turn diminishes.
Not so in the case Of many animals.
These not only retain their grief much
longer, but there are cases in which
it lasts as long as life itself.
The cat will swim after her kittens
which some cruel man is trying to
drown. The story Of the dog who
starves to death on the grave of his
master is no fable. A stone in the
Paris dogs cemetery is thus inscribed
HE was so intelligent that he might
have been taken for human being
but that he was faithful. ."-Das Neue

Birds Mother LoUe
Example of HeroiSnl

The boy who "StOOd on the burning
deck, whence all but he had fled" has
won the Immortality Of a well-knOwn
poem, but probably a certain skylark
will not find her poet, although she
certainly deserves one.
While beating out a field fire at Felt
ham, IN MiddleseX, fremen noticed a
skylark sitting on her nest on the
ground. in the direct path Of the
flames. The bird continued to sit on
her eggs with dense smoke rolling
round her, and even when the flames
caught the grass of which the nest
was constructed she did not stir until
the fremen were close upon her.
So struck were the men with the
birds herOism and devotion that they
determined to save her home at all
costs. They set about isOlating the
nest, and were so successful that, al
though the fire spread all around, the
nest was scarcely damaged and the
eggs remained intact.-LOndon Tit

Friday and Saturday - Florence
Turner, once the most celebrated star
of moving pictures, in which form of
theatrical expression she was a pion-
eer, has returned to the fold, thanks
to the energy and generosity of Mar
ion Davies, Cosmopolitan star, who
discovered Miss Turner in London-ill

turn to pictures. Miss Turner makes
her comeback appearance" on the

ing more than a nickelodeon venture,
Florence Turner grew up with the

Vitagraph company, Miss Turner was
at one time in her career the screens

Lighting Scheme

Speaking of modern conveniences
and innovations. somebody who helped
design the new infants ward at the
Children's hospital, st. Antoine and
FarnswOrth streets, used his or her
imagination. About knee-high above
the floor are recesses or slits in the
walls fitted with lights. When a nurse
enters during the night to tuck the
babies in, she doesn't have to turn on
the overhead lights and run the
chance Of waking the tiny patients
up. The low wall-lights furnish her
enough illumination to do her work
without disturbing the babies. Out-Of-
town visitors have commented more
on this little arrangement than on
more important features Of this great
nstitutiOn.-DetrOit Free Press.

Record Parade
Of Legion Members
At Phiia. Convention

Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-(P)-Over
ground that felt the tread of the
soldiers of the Revolution. the Civil
war and the Spanish war. marched
the American Legion today.
A great host, the largest, it was
said, that ever walked under the or
ganization's banner, paraded to the
sesqui- centennial grounds in a set
ting that thrilled the vast crowds
that witessed it.
Philadelphia, flag bedecked since it
began the 150th anniversary of the
birth of the republic, used to parades
of some kind every week, received
new sensation as the "a. L. f."
marched past.
Overhead droned % airplanes from
the army and the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard, the army blimp TC-5.
and the great navy airship Los An
geles, the latter a gift of the war the
marching thousands helped to win.
Heading the long procession from
the entrance to Paramount Park to
the sesqui- centennial stadium, was
the old commander of the Legion
boys-General Pershing-and Vice
President Dawes.
A perfect autumn day favored the
Legion and one of the largest crowds
that ever saw a military turnout in
historice Philadelphia viewed the
spectacle.
The procession entered the stadium
at the open end of the U-shaped
structure marched around the quar-
ter mile track and out again. Then
the Legionnaites dispersed, entered
the vast concrete structure through
the regular entrances and sat and
watched the remainder of the boys
march by.
