people, as proven ''0 i'''e
by the actions of Billie and Rod.
Some of the scenes are not far from
ridiculous. For instance, Billie sWims
home from Rods yacht with very
few clothes on, and is turned out
by her guardian, without even be-
ing permitted to put something
around her.
Then, too. other scenes are too
overdrawn. When Rod is making
love to Billie or the yacht, he has
for an aid a group Of singing Ha-
waiians, but why the sea gulls or
what help they had in his, love
making, I do not know, unless per-
haps it was mating time
Still the picture is not without
some interesting moments When
Rod proposes, you can not help but
smile at some of the questions and
answers with which they finally de-
eide to marry, not for love, but for
freedom. Billie to be free Of her
cruel guardian and Rod Of a blonde
mama, who is after his money.
The boat-polo game in the begin
ming of the story is rather Spectac-
ular in its appeal. While the under
sea ball is something a little differ
ent from the ordinary.
Beyond doubt, The Man and
the Moment is good box Office Not
only the title has appeal TO the
general mass of theatergoers, but
also the names Of Elinor Glyn, Billie
Dove and Rod La ROGUE. Aside
from this I personally can see no
good reason for this film unless it

Miss Costello as the sweet, young
innocent girl at the fashionable

it and talks it. She is a very in

mixed up in the rum raid. She IS
the pathetic little thing and remains
that way when she discovers the
truth regarding her mother. Fine
acting on her part.

Miss Costello, it is the work Of Miss

Snakes in Captivity
Turn Into Cannibals

Pythons, many of them 10 feet long,
who are among the guests of the Lon
don ZOO, spend most of their time sub
merged In the water of the moat sur
rounding the enclosure. A few of the
inhabitants of the park, especially the
cobras, become cannibals, and attack
and dev0ur not only various harmless
species, but also some of their most
poisonous relations Even puff-adders
have been recorded as falling victims
to the cobras viciousness and vo-
racity. Mr.. FitzSimmons, the curator
of the Port Elizabeth museum, states
that cobra versus puff-adder CON
test may last as long as an hour, and
that the latter does not give in to his
more agile adversary until the eff
fects of the injected venom of his
enemy have induced complete par
alysis. Not long ago a keeper, in the
course of moving some of the snakes
in the enclosure, was bitten on the
hand by large puff-adder. spe-
cial serum kept on the premises was

New Era Began With
Power Over Darkness

Among the most notable finds at an
:ient Ur of the Chaldees in Mesopo-
.amia under the joint auspices of the
British museum and the University Of
Pennsylvania are oil lamps of beau
.iful design dating to nearly 1000
years before Christ, revealing a civili-
zation older than that of Europe.
"Thus, however far back we are
permitted TO peep into the dim past"
the leader, Mr.. Patterson, said, when
man, with the same nature and feel.
lngs as we, lived and loved, worked
and died, we find him facing the sams
problems as we do today, in seeking
to regulate the light of day which en-
tered his buildings, and to supplement
1t at night as effectively as his knowl-
edge would permit.
but from 1000 years before Christ
to 1900 A. D., close to 6,000 years,
that knowledge took him no further
than the use of wick dipped in oil,
or later, Of the candle made from nat
ural oil and fats. But with the begin
ming of the last century new era be-
gan, an era in which dawned the pos
sibility of unlimited light during the

Dog Needs Balanced"
Diet to Keep Healthy

Most dogs are Just as dependent
upon simple, wholesome, nourishing
fare as people are. If they are fed a
lot of greasy stuff. or quantities of
handy, they will get sick. On the other
hand practically every one will thrive
on plenty of lean meat. either raw or
slightIy cooked; fresh fish. a fair
smeunt of cereal. some thoroughly
boiled green vegetables. Supplement
this diet with a few pieces of crum-
bled stale white bread; and two or
three times a week give the dog q
good-sized fresh beef bone from the
butcher Never let him have poultry
bones, though. or any other kind that
breaks into sharp sliyers.
And here is another point; mix the
different kinds of food very thorough
IL. This will prevent the picking out
of particularly choice tidbits and the
leaving of the rest. One great value
of the foods recommended is that they
constitute a sanely balanced diet, SO
your dog ought to eat all of them

Abuses of Optimism

Our sunshine thought for today is
that the pessimist has his place in the
world as we'll as the optimist. Tn.
doubtedly optimism is good for such
dread maladies as the blues, the vii
lies, the jumps. the doIdrums, the
dumps and the down-ln- the-mouth dis
ease.
Still there is such a thing as too
much sun-kissed optimism. The world
has place here and there for the
regular pigheaded, rangtankerous, un-
reasonable, narrow.eyed file-biting
pessimist. Too many people believe
that Santa Claus rams the stock mar
ket or that If they see the moon over
their right shoulder they have only
to make wish and sure enough It
will come true just like the pigeon
that flies out of the magician's hat
when he waves bis wand.

Eyangelistic Symbols

In the Fifth century the Four
Beasts which had already been used
as embems of the Four Archangels
and the -Four Great Prophets were
adopted as symbols of the Evangelists,
and two centuries later these curious
creatures were universally employed
as symbolic Of these four saints. At
first they were simply emhlems of the
Tvangelists, but after st. Jerome
wrote Of the Vision of Ezekiel, each
of these beasts was assigned to a par
ticular saint. To st. Matthew was
given the cherub, or winged human
face; to st. Mark, the lion; to st.
Luke, the OK; and to st. John, the
eagle.

Fancy Buttons for Men

Buttons played no small part in the
adornment of our grandtathers, who
paid high prices for their coat decora-
ti0ns.
For instance, a man named Bisset

and were of his own painting. He did
q good deal of fancy painting for Mat
thew Boulton. "The elegant paintings
