ESlDELIGHRS d
AT QUEEN

Enduring love is the message EAR
ried in The Mcdel from Mont
martre now plsing at the Queen
theatsr. The cast includes Ivan
Petroyitch, who registered such a
big hit in The Garden Of Allah" re-
Gently; Louis Lagrange, famed
French motion picture star, who also
has starred in many American films;
Nita Naldi, whom all fans will re-
call as the impressive leading lady
opposite Valentino in Blood and
Sand" and other pictures; and Mau-
rice de Cononge who has appeared
on the American stage and screen.
The picture was produced in the
Paramount foreign studios at Paris,
France, and many interesting and
colorful scenes have been captured
by the director, Leonce Perret.
Petrovitch portrsys the role Of g
poverty-stricken, yet talented artist
residing in the Montmartre district
Of Paris. Miss Lagrange enacts the
role Of a beautiful model, who helps
the young artist through his trying
times until he wins the hiGhw-t
prize awarded at the art exhibit held
at the Grand Palace.
Pierre and Lolette marry and en-
joy the many Injuries that have
been denied them, until Pierre meets
Princess de Chabran, which role is
portrayed by Nita Naldi. Pierre be-
ome infatuated with the Princess,
and forgets his wife. She unsueeess-
fully attempts to end it all, and
finally goes to an old admirer, Rou-
chard.
At length Pierre realizes his mis-
take and goes back to LoIette who
still loves him. 1t is the beautiful
love story that runs throughout that
makes the picture so appealing.

Open Mind Requisite
of Proper JUDGMENT

Your Judgment Is no better than
your information, is good statement
to memorize. 1t Is certain that to ac-
quire Judgment, one must investigate
subject from different angles. The
first information may only tell part
of the truth. One may discover that
he has been misinformed or so slightly
informed that 1t is a poor foundation
on which to form an opinion.
If you only read what you already
know, you learn nothing. Some do not
want to read something new or read
the other side of question on which
they have narrow hut profound cHnvlc
tions. They stop the paper that dares
discuss views with which they cannot
agree or understand. They condemn
the preacher or the teacher who taxes
their minds with new ideas.
The way to acquire knowledge is to
keep an open mind so that different
angles of thought may present them
selves for yonr information. That is
the basis of sound Observation-Disclosures

A BIG BATTLE COMING

The tent caterpillar has reached
the end of his cycle. Next sum.
mer the tachina fly will get him
But there is a big destructive hatch
coming next summer that will i'll
fest our trees and defoliate then
unless we meet the attack on time
Those who have small trees, two
or three year old cherry trees, fol
instance, can save time and eX.
pense by looking them over aftel
rainy spell, and gathering the
masses OF eggs which are plainly
visible, and burning them. Large
1rees will need some kind of poison
on the leaves that will get the
caterpillars as soon as they begin
to chew. Some who tried the dust
form of the arsenate combination
say that it was ineffective. 1t
may be that it was not put on
at the right time probably too
windy or too dry. 1t should be
put on very early in the morning
when the foliage is damp and the
stuff will stick. Maybe the ar
senate content was insufficient.
1t is hoped that the proper com
bination will be efficient, for there
is no easier or quicker way to get
the poison on the trees. Ii this
will not get them then we must
resolutely resort to the old way
and use the liquid form, four or
five pounds of arsenate of lead to
so gallons of water. Later when
the mature caterpillars begin to
travel and to look for a place to
spin their coccoons they will still
be eating, and if alders are near
by may defoliate the cherry trees
about picking time and leave them
red with the fruit. They will not
eat the cherries and we cannot put
on the poison to get them.

Fat women, thin women, med
ium women, tall women, short
women, women with long ears,
women with rings in their noses
all of these types, at one time or
another, have reigned supreme be-
cause of their beauty. In Turkey
today the fat girl is the acme of
radiance and charm in the eyes of
our most genuine shieks in the
world. In America until recently,
the thin, angular starved" girl
has reigned.
Flo Zeigfeld, owner of the fam
Gus "Follies proclaims change.
The new model of beauty, he de-
clares, is healthy, weighs just the
right amount, is neither fat nor
too thin, and has energy and pep.
Mr.. zeigfeld drew his conclusions
after turning away 5000 out of
10000 girls who applied to him for
stage positions during the past six
years.
Where the chorus girl leads on
the path of beauty, other girls are
sure to follow. That will make
many people laugh Fathers and
mothers will hail the new style
with delight. No longer must
feminine members of the family
frown at milk and butter and ten
derloin steaks. Facet lifting doe
tors and family physicians, how
ever, may enjoy less business after
a few months.
The day of the "sylph-like" fig
ure is gone. Many people are glad
enough to see Miss Vanity disap-
pear, and are ready to wish Miss
Health, the new queen, long and
happy reign.

Germans conquered parts OF Gaul. the
land was parceled out to chiefs, lieu.
tenants and private soldiers. In return
the holders of the lands promised mill.

land was given to fayorites who were
allowed to pay in money instead of
service, and the system was estah

Myth About Monkeys

It Is often stated that monkeys
sometimes cross streams by means
Of monkey bridges" We doubt, says
the Pathfinder Magazine, whether
anybody has positive knowledge Of
monkeys forming bridge by taking
hold Of each other in order TO cross
stream, Monkeys do. however,
hang on to one another from time to
time and sometimes one will seize md
climb up the tail of another. One
will even sometimes draw another up.
nr. William NJ. Mum, director of
the National Geological park, believes
the story about monkeys making a
bridge WINS suggested by the maneuv.
ers of the spider monkeys Of South
America.

Expression Long in Use

Thousands of years ago the Igyp-

dead was believed by them to be In
the west, the land of the setting sun.
Similar beliefs were held by other PEG.
pies. among them some American In
dian tribes, who believed that the
happy hunting ground" was In the
west ind who therefore frequently
put their dead on scnffolds facing TINT

Or. Edwards, a practicing ply
sician for 20 years, and calomel's

formula for olive Tablets while
treating patients for chronic con-
stipation and torpid Iivers.
Olive Tablets do not contain

vegetable laxative safe and pleas
ant,
No gripping is the keynote" Of
these little sugar coated, olive
coiored tablets. They help cause
ths bowels and liver to act nor

unnatural action.
If you have a clark brown

feeling - sick headache - torpid

wards Olive Tablets.
