really, happened to Mr. Prescott and
Miss Perier. This was to be done BY
patching and miniature which
would be photographed back in the
studio. There was absolutely no dan
ger but it was to be a thrilling
punch.
The rehearsal went off all right.
The william took the heroine, Miss
Perier, nearer and nearer the place
where he was supposed to murder
her and throw her body in an open
hearth pit. Everything was ready.
"Camera!" called the director.
Numberless cameras began to turn
on the people from every angle.
The villains better nature was sup
posed to conquer at the point when
he, seeing that the ladle coming to-
ward him had sprung a leak, flung
the girl from him out Of harms way
and tripped upon the ground to be
supposedly covered by the fiery, mol.
ten mass, which would be done at
the studio in miniature. There was
absolutely no danger as planned.
Mr.. Prescott who had been stand
ing out of camera line but in q place
to catch Miss Perier, opened his arms
as the actor flung her toward him
and she fell into them.
The whole scene was almost fin
ished and ready to be okayed when,
to the horror Of the spectators, the
stopper at the bottom OF the ladle
really began to leak. As it was d.
rectly over Mr.. Prescott and Miss
Perier. the whole stopper fell to the
ground and the great column Of mol
ten steel was upon them.

Treading the Rocky Road of Writers

The lot of the budding author has always been
BIT rocky And now comes Sinclair Lewis, eminent
novelist, to add more bump to the toilsome path
way.
In brief, Mr.. Lewis advises people who want to
write, not to do The cards stacked against
them, he says. The chances against success arc 80
out of 100, he continues and, when success is won
WRITING is about as romantic as being book
keeper"
Speaking at Kansas University, Mr.. Lewis added
that he had recipe for success in the
writing game" He gives it as follows:
FIRST, must possess tremendous native abil-
ity, and then must work five times as hard as
any ordinary human being ought to work. Then
success will come if one doesn't die young and one
probably will"
With these few words does Mr. Lewis take a
mighty fall out of those pathetcaly eager, hopeful
youths who are forever tormented by the desire,
as Cabell puts it, "to write beautifully of beautiful
happenings"
When he says that 80 out of every 100 aspirants
to hcnors in literature will fail, he speaks the sim
pie truth. For it is one Of the tragedies of life
that desire, except in unusual cases, must always
Cutrun performance. sf
In many, many people there is planted tantal-
izng trace Of the true creative instinct Such peo-
pie are apt to be very unhappy For they are
cursed with the undying impulse to transmit to
white paper the strange, beautiful emotions that
surge through them to communicate to their fel
lows the small secrets that they have been able to
extract from life, to emulate the great masters OF
harmony who have set their own souls aflame.
These are the people who begin with fine cnthu
siasm and high hopes; who collect rejection slil
after rejection slip, seeing a little of their enthu
siasm and hope ebb away with each defeat unit
at. last they stop trying and content themselves
with enjoying the works Of those who are just
little more gifted than they.
Yet they need not despair be unhappy. Fo
tie very existence of that disquieting poetic i'm
-ulse that does not let them rest gives to them
Richness and fullness in life that their soberer fel
lows can nerer Enaw
If the Unborn creative ability is not quite grea
enough to turn out poems. and fine novels at leas
it let's the pcssessor clearly the beaut.
and truth that great writer's have unfolded. If, j,
some ways, they unhappier than the men wh
never sought to write they also happier; TO
life will always be just little fuller and NOR
beautiful to them than it would be if they no
cursed with the desire to write beautifully Of beau
tiful happenings.
So if you of those who must write blu
cannot, don't despair. Your lot has its com
pensations.

Editorial Comment

New York Timesl


Announcement is made elsewhere in The Times
today of nationwide series of oratorical contests
eliminating in the national finals" in Washington
next June. Only bona fde secondary school pupils
are eligible to enter but III the series held last year
there were, it is estimated 100000 such partic-
pants representing more than $4,000 schools-the
seven regional winners taking part in the final con-
test in Washington, at which President Coolidge
presided and four Justices of the Supreme Court
with the Attorney General acted as judges The
"oratons" must all be original and "ccntre around
the Constitution Of the United States" This series,
which to be matched by like series in certain
ether countries, promises to become one of our
great national contests like the eisteddfods, for
example, in Wales. 1t is doubtful if more effec.
tive plan could be devised for increasing the in
terest of the youth of land in the basic principles
CT our Government.

Roaming the Fruit of Miracles

~- Most of us have grown pretty well accustomed
to the twentieth century. The automobile is al
ready commonplace. The airpane is fast on the
way to becoming one. We take radio for granted
and refuse to get aflutter the miracles of mod
ern surgery.
Consequently, when some remarks that We
are living in great age We say Yes, indeed,
and trot off to movie.
This is natural, for too close acquaintance with
: any miracles makes them seem ordinary. But our
slackadasical attitude has this danger 1t is blind
. ing US to the fact that standing on the
threshold CT era greater, more marvellous and
stranger than anything have dreamed of.
- Imagine if you can world like this: Industry
regulated and machinery perfected that no man,
from high to low would need to work more than
four or five hours day; plenty for all and poverty
for none diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis
wiped out completely, with full century the nor
NAL age for everyone clean cities undefied by the
great clouds of smoke that arise from their fac
tories and railroads now; jewellers in the coolest
climes kept warm in their houses without the need
Of ever locking at furnace even owning one;
the meanest citizen able to take small device from
his pocket and, at wh ball game or publ.
convention in city thousand miles away-these
wonders and more greater taken as everyday
features Of life and causing no amazement-can
you imagine it?
ssaE Ne? Prepare yourself The chances are very
rood that if we ourselves do not see such an era,
Eour chdren's children will. It is just around the

Burns Anniversary

Soul Of great Burns! be thou my Muse. Inspire
My hating verse to wake the memory
OF Scotland's bard whose songs forever FIRE
The heart with high delicious revelry.
The fame Of love he famed has never dimmed
Amongst his country's high-souled peasantry.
How beautiful the touch with which he limned
The innate worth Of men, and poverty!
How tenderly he sang the homely flower,
Or held-mouse shrinking from his plow in Dread
The martial note he struck with equal power
In songs like "Scots wha hae wi Wallace bled,"
But bark! ! hear from air and land and sea
The voice Of Scotlands sons in jubilee.

Mrs. Stillman made no mention Of
whether her husband, James A.. Still

liner. Her message was in answer
to one sent her by the Associated

Indication that her husband was

her message she referred inquiries

ticle, published this morning, said
they had sailed together abroad.

P~ollyanna, about the most famous
young lady in these United States
will visit the coming Chautauqua on
the opening night. Pollyanna has not
only been rendered immortal by the
book named after her, but also with
q play that has been one huge success.
In fact, a great many people who
have seen the play declare that the
play "Pollyanna" is preferable to
the book. In the play, all the charm
ing philosophy and delightful whim-
~sicality has been preserved, but still
Pollyanna doesn't spend all her time
just being glad.
The stage presentation of Polly
anna centers around two love stories
and Pollyanna's own adventures in
friendship.
The story begins with the prepara-
ton at the home of Pollyanna's aunt
for the reception of the little orphan
girl, who is destined to make such
a change in the lives of all the peo-
pie with whom she comes in contact.
After Pollyanna comes, she innocently
makes friends with the former lover
of her aunt, and through her they are
again brought together renewing the
