storm as he will feel many a day after
my death"
Very likely these words were carried
to King John; at any rate, before long
he fined Geoffrey $4,000 marks.
Unfortunately for the King he took
his step at bad time. He had Just
summoned his barons to join him In
an invasion of. France. Fitzpiers took
the leadership they had long desired
in making fight for restoration Of the
laws protecting their lives, liberties and
properties which had come down from
the time of Alfred the Great.
At the height of the dispute Fitz-
piers died, which gave John consider
able Joy. But the storm the grand
justiciary had loosed was now well on
its way and soon was bursting. In the
end the revolving barons had the sup
port of the entire country. John sur
rendered.
On June Is, 1915, at Runnymede, a
broad green meadow on the bank of
the Thames beneath the heights Of
Windsor, the Magma Charta, founda-
ton of English and hence Of American
law was signed.
Within the walls Of windsor John
later threw himself on the ground IN
a rage, gnawing at sticks and straws
and cursing the barons. He soon was
at his tricks, but In little over year
he died. And so Magma Charta be-
came the law of the land.

One correspondent says: please tell
me what to do for the melancholy mood
have them quite often. and then they
90 away as quickly as they come"
This type of question is asked over
and over again. The blues are as COM
mon as humanity and human nature
We may go further and say they are
as common as all nature. for the whole
universe is subject to rhythmic changes.
We have the seasons of the year, night
and day, warm and cold, ebb and flow.
phases of the moon, etc. Life and death
are fundamental rhythmic processes.
The strange part Is not that we are
not always the same The queer thing
is that we are able to maintain as even
q keel in life as we do; that changes In
moods do not come more often and
come more violently than they do.
OF course, there are those who are
more steady in their emotional life
than others, and hence change less
often. But normal people experience
moments of depression when life does
not hold much of worth or value, and
then they have their opposite moods
when they are sitting on top of the
world and seeing everything through
rose -colored glasses. This is especially
pronounced in the life of great artists
and geniuses in general who have a
reputation for being temperamental.
Were it not for this rhythmic change,
life would be terrible thing. None of
US could stand the strain very long.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 26-It's
Shakespeare time in Hollywood. And a
good time is being had by all, especially
some Of the actors from the East Coast
who are not neophytes in the Shake
spearean ritual.
OF these is Harold Minjir, originally
Of the Tanning of the Shrew'' in mod
ern dress which played in New York
and on the road last Winter. He came
to the village and was approached for
the same role, that of Hortensio, in the
celluloid version.
Minjir went to the studio to endure
that most terrible ordeal which can be-
fall hunan-the movie test-plunged
into the role with the same broad COM
edy treatment he brought to 1t on the
stage, only to be halted and told that
he must cut out the comedy In fact,
role-"blond John Gilbert" said the
mentor with a burst of inspiration.
The Hortensio Of the legitimate stood
rooted to the ground in perplexity, but
light came when 1t was explained to
him that for the exigencieS OF the pic
ture the roles of Hortensio and Lucen-
zio had been merged into one, leaving
the name HortenSiO but endoWing the
studio Frankenstein with the charac-
teristics of Lucenzio.
Merging has become chronic dis
ease here In the village, but this was
too much for Minjir. Shakespeare's

cover the bones of his literary children.

King John of England didn't stop at

King John of England didn't stop at
collecting taxes on an unprecedented
scale; he extorted bribes.
Remind me- he once told the Bis
hop of Winchester, for instance. Ito
give girdle to the Countess of Abe
marie"
The bishop forgot this injunction.
The King fined him tun Of wine and
made him pay 1t. S~
Extortions and bribes were not the
Kings limit. He didn't hesitate at
murder and he even stole the wives
and daughters of his subjects. This
treatment incensed his mobiles, but they
had no leader and John might have
continued his crimes If he hadn't gone
step too far in his dealings with his
grand justiciary, Godfrey Fitzpiers.
FitZpiers was of low birth, but he
had worked his way to high station
and had won as his wife the Countess
of Essex. He was man of real charac-
ter and highly respected.
One day King John, pointing to Fitz-
piers, said to the Provost of st. Omer:
Never did one man watch another
as he watches me, lest should get
some of his goods; but as much pains
as he takes to watch me, so much do I
take to get them
The grand justiciary was near
enough to oerhear this remark. He
said later to the provost perhaps ex-
pecting that his words would be re-
peated to the King: "Sir Provost. well

this would not be required for that
purpose.
In a room which has long windows a
table of this type Is an excellent place
to keep plants which are eager for lots
of sunshine. In the event Of the table
being needed for tea, the plants could
easily be transferred to the windowsill
Inasmuch as this table would not be
appropriate for any but sun room,
the color scheme of its finish may be
very gay. Chinese red, black and sill
combined to make it one of the most
attractive pieces in the room. The top
might be covered with plate glass to
make 1t more practical for placing
flower pots or for serving tea.

us hope some good Spanish music, and
not treacle from over the Mexican bor-
der which passes for the Spanish theme
here.
D'Arrast is one OF the most promising
of the directors. A man of culture and
perspicacity, he separated from the
studio which developed his talents when
they wished him to make picture with
Maurice Chevalier. He was eager to
work with Chevalier, but not with the
material of the story nor under the cir
cumstances dictated by the studio.
His attitude is vindicated. Chevalier's
first picture proves that the French
artist is an artist, nothing more. His
personality persists in the face of five
or six reels Cor whatever length an
evenings entertainment is supposed to
be) Of sheer drivel.
Chaplin is to make this picture in a
somewhat different way. The men
heading the expedition to Spain will
work on part salary and will share the
profits of the picture when released.

SMITH SETS PACE
ON GERMAN LINKS
Shoots II and SO to Lead in
First Half of 72-HoIe
Medal Play.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 24-Playing with the
even brilliance that crowned him cham
pion of France, Horton Smith, 21-year-
old American professional from Joplin,
Mo, blazed the way today in the first
half of the 72-hole medal play for the
German open title.
Smith, who celebrated reaching his
majority by sweeping through the
French championship last week, put
together two rounds of II and So to-
day for a total of 140 to lead Percy
AlliSs, English professional at a Berlin
club, by one stroke. AlliSs, playing
steadily and representing Germany's
sole threat against the American and
British invaders carded a 10 and II
for 141.
Once Alliss turned in his score, the
remainder of the touring American pro-
fessional squad, with some British help,
took over the challenging positions for
the SO holes to be played tomorrow.
Aubrey Boomer, British professional,
shot 70 and 70 for 143, with the color
full Walter Hagen and Johnny Farrell,
British and American open champions,
respectively, tied for fourth place with
totals of 144. Both shot a pair of TBS.
Ed Dudley, another American, had
a pair of 73s for 146. Joe Turnesa
virtually shot himself out of the run
ming with 74-79 1853. and Cyril
Tolley, British amateur, was a little
better with 75-77-142.

their perennial warfare with the

bounding Basque. and the cool. ma
chine like Rene Lacoste. eliminated the
last Of the foreign contenders for this
particular title and assured an all
French final.
TiIden and Hunter Out.
Tilden and Hunter were beaten by
scores of 6-3, 60, 3-6, 6-3, while
in the other semi-flnal match Henri
Cochet and Jacques Brugnon disposed
Of the British team of j. c. Gregory
and I. G. Collins in straight sets, 6-3,
Ga, 6-3.
To make UP for the downfall of their
strongest combination the best the
American standard bearers could pro-
duce was an uninspiring victory for
Miss Helen Wills and Hunter over the
French team Of Nine. Renee Matthew
and Jacques Brugnon Of France by
scores of GO, 6-3, in the quarter final

expense of France Miss Marjorie Nor

France, 60. 60.
Spanish Dutch Team Wins.
Sharing the spotlight with the battle
royal between the giants of the French
and American Davis Cup teams was the
final in women's doubles in which the
United States had no part. Playing
the same powerful game that eliminated
Miss Wills and Edith Cross as we'll as

nation of Ella de Alvarez and Kea

ton. The biggest gallery Of the week

TENNIS HEAD PRAISES
CONDUCT OF MATCHES

Americas foremost tennis leaders
showered praise on the Chevy Chase
Club and its tennis committee, headed
by Lawrence A. Baker, for the manner
in which the Davis Cup match between
the United States and Japan was
staged.
Said Samuel COLON, president of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association:
The arrangements were as perfect
as it was humanity possible to make
them and for this the Davis Cup COM
mittee is grateful to the Chevy Chase
Club and particularly TO the chairman
of its tennis committee. Mr. Baker
whose management Of the affair was
f1awless.
THE officiating left nothing to be
desired and the setting was one OF the
prettiest in the history Of Davis Cup
play on this side Of the Atlantic"
Similar expressions were made by
Joseph Wear, chairman of the Davis
Cup committee; Julian Myrick, for
many years president of the U. S: L.
T. A, and Fitz-Eugene Dixon, captain
of the American team.

AS a result or It's victory over
the Japanese, the Americans have
but one more match in this zone,
that with Cuba, to be played this
week at Detroit. In this en-
counter, which will begin on
Thursday, the United States
should have little difficulty in
winning.
The Van Ryn-Abe match was the
first on yesterday afternoons schedule
and It was evident from the beginning
that the former Princeton star was out
to atone for his earlier defeat at Ohta'S
hands.
Van Ryns Play Dashing.
The duel which matched Van Ryns
speed and daring against Abe's sound
but relatively pacelesS back court game,
was the more interesting of the final
singles matches not alone in the fact
that 1t was decisive; but also in the
quality of the tennis played Van Ryn
was better than the veteran OF the
japanese team and he knew 1t ana
played with dash and resourcefulness
that was not to be denied.
In the other match, Ohta'S fiat drives
which gave Van Ryn so much trouble
when their unfinished match of the
day before was completed Friday were
never annoying to Hennessey, who was
content to trade drives with the Japa-
nese star until he could trap him out
of position or force him into errors.
Hennessey was particularly deadly over
head and q majority of his placements
were scored OF Ohta's lobs which lacked
depth throughout the encounter.
Abe, on the other hand, used mix
ture Of lobs and deep drives with par
ticularly good effect in the second set
which he won from Van Ryn.
Hennessey took full advantage OF
