SCHEME TO KEEP

BV Times Special
NEW YORK, Sept. PA new
scheme for preventing the desertion
Of village and farm life in France
has recently been suggested by NJ.
Ambrose Rendu, member of the
Paris municipal council.
Speaking in the name of the com
mittee Of the Back to the Farm"
movement, NJ. Rendu, according to
advices just received, states that the
most efficient remedy for high cost
of living is to increase production,
and this can only be done by prevent.
ing village people from emigrating
to cities. The main thing is to pre-
vent the exodus Of girls, as they do
not return to the farm after they
have tasted town life.
To achieve this M. Rendu suggests
that every girl born in village
should have an insurance taken in
her name at the time OF her birth
securing a small capital OF 10000
francs-at her coming of age, this
capital to be invested in the pur-
chase Of a farm which would en-
able her to marry and found a home
in the country. OF the $4,000 girls
born in France every year, about 90
per cent die before they are 81, and
Of the remaining 233 1000, only about
10000 live in the country.

Two great organizations the League of Women

a more general participation in government on the
part of citizens
One of them has discovered that very MANY peo-

are SO corrupt and the grip of the machine SO firm

That is exactly what political machines want

For dissipation will inevitably eventually

1t makes difference how often you may go to
the beauty parlor how many dollars you may

that in some strange intangible way all beauty relates
to the soul and has its roots in the spirit.
All the dainty courtesans of old became in few
years hideous old women And matter how fair YOU
may be, as each quick year hastens by you will give
to it some fragment of your good looks
And so the modern girl, though she be lovely as

OLD STYLE SLUGGING
PICTURED IN "BLARNEY"

Guess it is year 1870. Anyway it
is the days when prize fighters
didn't wear gloves and when they
slugged until one of the fighters
couldn't drag himself to the center
of the ring.
"Blarney" is sort of little
cameo of an ancient day when the
women wore hoop skirts, or what
ever they called 'em, and the men
dolied up like sheiks, although the
world didn't call 'em that them They
were spoken of as fast and dashing

Man" First National pulled no
mean trick when they tied this man
up for a contract. Langdon was the
bird who did a might out" stunt in
vaudeville for many years, when 1t

that Langdon had a million-dollar
face, instead of a thousand-dollar
voice, He has a sort of Buster

Keaton. Langdon is a clever show
man, and he knows many tricks OF
the legitimate and variety stage.
These tricks he brings before the
eye of the camera. The truth is
Langdon gets his best and most
noisy fun out of the scenes where
he is going it alone.
I nearly passed out when he man.

He finally admits that he is getting

This is an old burlesque idea but
Langdon does il with so much in
dividual. charm that he turns this
scene into one of the comedy delights
Of the season.
There are several comedy scenes
in this picture which requires several
hundred people, to put it across but
Langdon is so powerful in his fun
making that he stands out over the
head of the angry mob. You will
enjoy that expression after you see
this really clever comedy on the
screen.

Five years later found him captain
OF a three masted schooner in the
Dutch East Indies. Then he came
down with beriberi. which wrecked
all hope of u maritime career in
that quarter of the world.
Drifting TO Philadelphia, he took
a course at the Drexel Institute
and got "A newspaper job. The city
editor took his broken English to
mean that he probably couldn't
write and gave him 'leg work in
connection with routine political and
financial stories. especially the lat.
ter.
Barfod made such reputation as
an exposer of shady deals and
crooked corporations that when the
Philadelphia Better Business Bureau
was established he was asked to take
charge Of it's investigation depart
ment.
This bureau went broke after a
few months. but rather than quit the
thirty cases lie iictI NoA hC0 Up AAN
sold what little property he had and
started a service of his own. This ser
vice brought little financial reward.
but it gave Barfod such a name
that Governor Pinchot placed him at
the head of the Pennsylvania Sec
urities Bureau.
The fearlessuess and energy with
which he conducted that bureau has
become of nationwide knowledge.
Barfod is the man who worked up
the facts with regard to G.. L. Miller

He lost his foot by walk

come infected, and after he had been
told to go to bed. in order to keep tab

And the producer gives Mac plenty
of opportunity to twist and be twist

has rests in the way the lion scenes
are handled, because the picture is

The crusade itself is worth while if it did nothing

and thoughts of these few the latent faith and

the voice of indianapolis because it will bring it into
closer touch with every activity and enterprise of
this city.
1t will make it the symbol of revived faith
which will extend to every man and woman who finds
here the opportunity for usefulness and happiness
Every city must have voice Not often do civ
governments speak for the city They are too re-
mote from the real heart and purposes Of citizens.
But the Chamber of Commerce can give voice to
the aspirations, the hopes, the prides the claims of
Indianapolis.
1t can do so only if every one who is intent ON
making it bigger and better who believes it to be the
best OF all Cities who has indianapolis first in his
heart helps to given infection and volume TO that
voice.
Make your home city first in your heart and it
Will become first in enterprise and spirit
