The audience sat patiently for some
five minutes until the strip was read
justed, and then the story went on with
the gap unexplained. Some time later
action in the piece gave us the clue for
what must have taken place in the con-
verSation We missed.
One of my editors assures me thai
New Workers have a trick of applaud
ing when such ill-synchronized mo-
ments occur and continue their applause
until the reel is turned back to the spoi
where the dialogue was lost.
Ronald Colman seems due to make
permanent his success as a talking art
list. When Condemned" is released he
will go to work Immediately upon
"Raffles,' vehicle which will give him
charming opportunity for his somewhat
different humor.
It is a pat time to revive "Raffles.
An entire generation has grown up since
it was the vogue, and it could be given
in no better way than with an English
man who is at once handsome and cast
by nature for the gentleman adven-
turer'S role.
Billy Blees of Detroit has the right
idea When sent him some souvenirs

that autographs, preferably on blank
checks" would be the ideal way to re-
member your favorite artist. Pretty
good for nine years.
Seriously speaking. this has been a
popular way of seeing the inside of the
local gaol. Stars will have their pho
tographs on their checks, just as they
love large monograms on cigarettes
automobile doors and even occasionally
in neon light on their housetops.
A few good inside jobs In which
trusted employees have had access tt
check books have resulted in some auto
graph collecting which has brought
about permanent results. Some Of the
best bunco put over in the village never

the nature of things it cannot. In the
first place, a plane needs more than a
small garage in which to house 1t. For
city work it would practically De use,
less. The ship of the air is constructed
for speed and intercity travel. Few
men, comparatively, need to travel vast
distances, and ship for family pur-
poses will remain out of reach of the
average man, no matter how much he
might enjoy one or how great his abil-

He continued: more skill is required
in the flying of ship. Almost any one

Mr.. Elwood Street, director of the
Community Chest, referring to a re-

THAT was a fine series of statements

that right here in Washington there is

biles and brings them down in the
morning in the same automobiles.
plants them in their carefully selected
stations, and continues the cycle dag
after day.
Social agencies are helpless in the
fact that clearing the beggars from the
streets is a police function.
There is no need for begging in
Washington whatsoever. The social
agencies are adequately financed
through the Community Chest, but they
cannot force man to take aid or go to
work when he would rather sit on the
streets, soliciting aims to which he Is
not entitled.
MANY of the beggars, as matter Of
fact, are not Washington residents, but
are transients, who stay here as long as
the picking is good and the climate
agreeable, and then move over to some

Snrained Ankle.

Sprained ankle used to be thrilling
episode when the emergency had to be
met by improvising a bandage from
the hem Of the heroine's ruffie. FOR
tunately we have other means OF nrst
aid today; and besides, the knee seems
more susceptible to twists and spralns
nowadays.
A sprain is sometimes as bad as
fracture: and sometimes it Is Just
Slight fracture near the ankle. II there
is any break in the bone 1t must be
treated accordingly. If there is only
tear or a stretching of ligamentS. then
the emergency treatment l shall now
describe is effective If promptly ana
thoroughly carried out.
Immediately plunge the injured leg
into a tub or bucket OF water as not
as endurable, and keep it so for an
hour, frequently dipping out some water
and adding hotter water. to main
tain the extreme of heat. Following the
hot footbath. gently massage the ankle
and leg, using upward strokes, with
camphor liniment (camphorated OLD or
other mild application such as witch
hazel or plain Soapy water or soap water
with drop of turpentine added. After
Is minutes of massage, apply dry heat
in any available form. A SO watt ordl-
nary frosted electric light bulb arranged
to hang q few inches from Cne ankle
under a cover, will serve very well.
In mild cases. where the injury is
clearly not a fracture, the foot, ankle
and leg should be Immediately bandaged
or strapped after the preliminary hot
soaking. Then the patient should re-
sumo walking at once, wearing in addi-
ton to the bandage or adhesive
dressing a snugly laced high shoe for
additional support of the ankle.
In any case, in the absence of medi-
cal advice, sprain will do better II the
patient makes earnest effort to use the
| injured ankle. If the ankle is left long
at rest after such an injury there Will
| be more trouble from adhesions and
other difficulties later on. If the pair
| felt on stepping out with the injured
foot Is not intolerable the patient need
not worry aboutth thought of possible
| fracture of bone, for even If there Ii
such fracture no great harm is done by
walking on the injured foot. at least
until proper medical care Is available.

Explain"

Explain"
John Alexander. explain what you
mean by this phrase in your compo-
sition, 'transcendent moments
John Alexander colored to the roots
of his hair, but gave no other sign of
| having heard the teachers demand.
IT asked you, john" IN tones of
strained and patient sweetness lust
exactly what did you mean by that
phraSe?"
Johns lips moved but no sound came.
II see. You don't know what you
meant. Neither do I. Neither does
any one else" and the teacher included
the class in a superior smile. Strange
to say the class did not return the
smile. They sat silent and aloof from
the teacher. They were in spirit stay
ing by John. who had used tremendous
term without being able to explain it.
~ If youngsters never used words that
they could not explain, If they never
did things that they could not give rea-
sons for doing. if they never did any,
thing without knowing why they did it,
they would never pass from childhood
into maturity.
Children in high school know far
more than they can express. That is
true of children of any age but especial
ly are we TO take it into considere ton
in dealing with high school children.
They understand things, they learn
things in wl1oles. The great truths the
high lights of literature, of conduct, of
life, sink deep into their souls and color
all they think and do. These great
stores of power cannot be put into
words Much of them must remain in
the silence where they generate and
send out power 1t is cruel to task
boy with a demand for an explanation
for such an expression as "tranScendent
moments"
Nor will it help any to demand expla-
nations for conduct. will you please
tell me, Mary Ann Meeks, why you had
the assurance to go to my desk, open 1t,
take my record book and change your
mark? Will you have the goodness to
explain YOURSELF"
Now what is the good of that? You
very we'll know that Mary Ann wanted
a better mark than she got, so she took
it. You know that. What you desire
above all things is that Mary Ann
Meeks get an inside view of her con-
duct; that she catch the implications
of what she has done. You don't care
a boot about the mark. But May Ann
cannot answer you that way because
the soul is not articulate.
Far better that you check John Alex
ander'S theme as very good and go
ahead. Far, far better that YOU look
kindly at Mary Ann Meeks and, when
you and she are alone, to say very kind
ly. and mean every tone of it, MARY
Ann, when you changed your mark in
my book you cheated your own soul, for
truth is precious above any earthly
marking"
Trust an adolescent to understand
sweeping truth Don't nag him for ex-
plantations. Know that he understands
far more than appears on the surface,
far more, In fact, than he realizes. Just
be a little kind and take big strides
when you walk with youth. 1t travels
fast.

they seem to be going and they are
leaving terrible marks. I have tried
several things, but they don't seem to
help much. Is there anything I can
do for them, as I have quite few, on

you in advance. WALLY L.
Answer-Falling eyelashes are usu-
ally caused by a poor physical condi-
ton and certain eye troubles. I should
advise you to have thorough physical
examination by your physician and ask
him to give you a treatment for the
acne at the same time. Build up your
health in general by wise diet, plenty
of fresh air and sunshine. Tanning
and mild sunburn are excellent for your
type of skin.
Now, about your diet Do you eat

is, or even more or less square, If that
is desirable. The pattern of a large
rug or a carpet can accent lines also.
In this great discretion must be exer-
cised in the choice of the carpet or
rug, for unless you own the house the
rug may be needed in room, later on,
in which different lines should be ac-
cented.
The placement of furniture can be
so well planned that correct lines are
stressed to make rooms appear longer
or narrower, or larger or smaller. In a
general way, lines should extend cross
wise to make a room appear short and
lengthwise to make it seem longer and
corners should appear to be cut of to
make a room seem smaller through
lines.
In turning from line to color In
stressing good decoration, it is i'm
portant to note the exposure of a room,
north, south, east or west, for 1t Is this
that determines whether or not a room
is sunny and bright and needs to be
subdued, or sunless and cold and should
be frightened. For the former, cool
colcrs such as blues, greyS and sub
dueo tones or cool tintS of warm colors
should be used. For the latter, yellows,
reds, such as rose, ETC., and gay colors,
or warm tint6 Of cooler colors are
needed.
