MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September %
(N.AN.AO.-If you're one of those who
believe in stunting, proceeding pecu-
liar to aviators, learn now that movie
gents stay awake nights thinking up
stunts that will leave the opposition
pale with fury.
The newest of these is the American
day set and the foreign after-dark. At
least that is the way Eddie Bowling S
next picture will be made.
Bowling seems to have it so far as
daylight hours are concerned. When
night falls Jose Bohr and a Spanish
speaking company will march on to the
set and make the same story after the
Latin manner for Latin distribution.
although from what some of my cor
respondents write they can't tell just
what language is being released until
the pictures about half over)
Expense Is Drawback.
The chief drawback to making pic
lures in more than one language is the
expense of keeping the stages while
various tongues hold the boards. This
new stunt provides the maximum of
release with the minimum of expense.
Jose Bohr, 1 am told. is a great ia
vorite III his own country. He has ap-
peared in vaudeville and legitimate
there. A South American, Tanayo is
preparing the Latin version OF the
picture.
Some efficiency man may arrange to
have little Eskimo troupe run off a
few scenes during dinner hour-and
live up to his name.
Hollywood thinks Zelma O'Neal is just
about right. which only goes to prove
that this village isn't original at all. A
lot of other places discovered that fact
long ago. Zelma O'Neal drifts about
from Sunday party to Sunday party
it's about the only day left for whoopee
here-and is 100 per cent popular,
while her beautiful sister gets only the
normal amount of attention.
When Ii Hung Chang said PLEASED
to meet you. How much money have
you got?" he was setting the fashion
for Hollywood, although neither he nor
the village knew it then.

Unnecessary Motoring Costs.

Whenever a woman begins to COM
plain about motoring costs or the de-
fects of her particular make of car, be-
gin to assume that her expense is pos
Sibly due to neglect rather than
mechanical defect The amount we pay
annually on repair bills is stupendouS,
and in many cases equal to the de-
probation on the car itself.
Tires, for example, are not matter
of luck but matter of care. II you
buy tires from fresh stock, and if those
tires are of first quality, and of good
manufacture, there is no reason for any
but minor tire trouble. If one does not
notice that air pressure is low until the
shoe is resting on the rims or II one
makes a practice Of Scraping curbs, tire
trouble and expense may be expected.
Overlooking our car will not improve
the tires either, nor will jamming the
brakes on for sudden stops prolong
their life.
When brakes require refining pre-
maturely it is futile to blame 1t on the
lining itself. In one or two instances
cars have been put out with inferior
brake lining, but by and large few cars
require refining for few years. Riding
with brakes applied, quick stops at high
speed, failure to have brakes kept in
proper adjustment. and similar mistakes
bring about brake trouble and conSe-
quent expense.
There are four things a car will not

Some housewives seem to think that
when they have bought the best milk,
and subscribed to State and local ad-
rninistration that carries out wise milk
regulations, they have done their share
toward making sure that the milk used
in their homes is safe and wholesome.
They forget that the best milk in the
world may be rendered unwholesome
through careless handling within the
home.
They forget that it is just as impor-
tant that all dishes used to hold milk
inside the house should be carefully
scalded and cleaned as those that con-
tain milk in diaries and distributing
stations.
They forget that even the best milk
contains sufficient bacteria to make it
unwholesome if it is not kept at tenn
perature below that at which bacteria
may develop readily.
To do your share in this important
matter of making your own milk sa1e,

Whether dreams have any significance
has agitated explorers of these phe-
nomena for centuries. Strange things
do happen when one is asleep. Two
brothers were sleeping one night in the
same room, but in different beds, in
the home of a deceased person. In the
course of the night one of them had
very distinct and vivid dream. He
thought he saw the deceased person, a
man of prominence in his day, who had
been dead for about 10 years, walk up
from the street to the gate, heard him
open the gate, ascend the steps of the
porch, open the front door and step
into the hall.
The impression upon the mind of the
dreamer was so vivid and the identity
of the ghostly visitor was so unmis-
taxable, that the sleeper was awakened
at the moment of the formers stepping
into the hall.
The strangest part now comes. The
other brother awoke a few minutes later
