some lucky break that will precipitate
them into talking role.
Meanwhile voice culture goes on
apace. The studios have installed de-
partments in this, but the more anbi-
tious take private lessons.
Bebe Daniels was allowed to 60 from
the lot on which she had been working
for many years when talkieS became q
certainty. She was told that her OPP
ton would not be taken up. that's all.
And the moguls didn't give her q voice
test.
Yesterday one of the greatest dra-
matists of the day, who happened to be
visiting the lot on which Bebe Daniels
is now working told me that she was
the best bet from the movie group, that
her voice was excellent, and her sense
Of DRAM splendid.
A certain handsome actor who is one
of the best loved chaps in this village
and who would rather throw a good
party or participate in one than stay
home and study was bent on whoopee
recently and could not be talked out
of 1t.
Neither producers. directors nor
at home had the slight

and often with very good effect. This
time the husband felt it was up to him
to put q little conflict into the dialogue.
IF you do that" he said, Il shall
kill myself"
GO ahead" said his better half with
apparent heartlessness. Don't let me
interfere with your plans"
The actor disappeared into the gar
den and shot rang out. Followed an
ominous silence. The wife sank weakly
onto the bed, convinced her husband
had done himself some injury at least.
In few moments the door slowly
opened and a very sheepish husband
stuck his head into the room.
Mamma, missed" was his expla-
nation.

SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTTE.

The passage OF q Summer thunder
storm above our heads caused a strong
man that knew to sink, trembling and
ashen colored, into q seat. A sizzling
flash, the crash of an electric bolt that
had slithered down some nearby tree
the instant clap Of thunder that
startled every one Of us, shook my
friend as though Big Bertha had been
fired off behind his left ear.
A woman in the party looked scorn-
full Her father had taught her never
and implied it was q mighty funny
thing that q big man should tremble
like baby.
To my thinking. she did him an in
justice. There are people with a hys-
teric fear of water; others are afraid
Of dogs and shy at a puppy. Others
get poison ivy from passing near the
plant, and still others get hay fever,
while the rest of us do not.
Morbid fear of thunderstorms is a
disease, and nobody should laugh at it.
Also bravado about lightning is NOR
bid. Lightning like an express train
on its track, is . pretty good thing to
have a healthy fear about. To be safe
from lightning, close the windows. Glass
inSulates you and drafts draw lightning.
Do not stand in open doors: do not
stand under trees II you are caught in
the open. It Is safer to stand in an
open field than under a tree or in the
lee Of old barns corn sheds and the
like. Feather beds are no protection.
but house is, except the attic or drafty
halls.
Water and metals conduct electricity;
rubber does not. Lightning In broad,
duh sheets Is not dangerous; Jagged
lightning Is. And, remember, II you
live to hear the thunder you're all
right.

Challenging Thought.
BY REV. JOHN N. QUINN.

Text: HE clave to the Lord and de-
parted not from following Him, but kept
His commandments. And the Lord was
with him, and he prospered."-II Kings.
xviii6-7.
The text explains the secret of Israel's
prosperity and greatness under the
reign of Hezekiah. No nation can be
permanently prosperous and triumphant
unless that nation cleaves to the Lord
and keeps His commandments. 1t Is
only as a nation adhereS to the trinci-
Piles of religion and Righteousness that
1t can endure and remain strong and
great.
In his Democracy in America" De
TocqueVille says: "I sought for the
greatness and genius of America In her
conmodious areas and her ample rivers,
and 1t was not there. sought for the
greatness and genius of America in her
fertile fields and boundlesS forests, and
1t was not there. sought for the great
mines and her vast world commerce,
and 1t was not there. sought for the
greatness and genius in her public
school system and her institutions of
higher learning, and 1t was not there
sought for the greatness and genius
Of America in her democratic Congress
an .dher matchless Constitution, and 1t
was not there. Not until went into
the churches of America and heard her
pulpits aflame with righteousness did
understand the secret Of her genius and
power. America is great because Amer
lea is good, and If ever America ceases
to be good America will cease to be
great"
If De Tocqueville could come back
lea good? Or would he say that Amer
lea is ceasing to be good and predict her
downfall? Here is a challenging thought
for tOday-our national anniversary.

BY THE COUNSELLOR
By THE COUNSELLOR.

John Brown, q farmer, gave oral per
mission to his neighbor to lay water
pipe across his land for q distance OF
500 feet. The .neighbor paid Brown
nothing for the privilege, as they were
very friendly, and nothing was said as
to payment or the period OF this ar
rangement. -
Several weeks later Brown and his
.neighbor quarreled about another mat
ter. and Brown notified his neighbor 10
remove the pipe or he would tear 1t up.
Seeking to avoid the expense OF remoV-
ing and replacing the pipe, the neighoor
obtained q temporary injunction pre-
venting Brown from carrying out ms
threat.
AT the hearing on the petition for O
permanent injunction, the neighoor con,
tended that the agreement he ana
Brown had made was valid, as he had,
on the strength of the agreement, ex-
pended $500, and that to permit Brown
to rescind the contract at this time
would result in a heavy financial loss.
The court, however, dissolved the In
junction, stating:
THE permission given was q mere
license and was revocable' at the pleas
ure of the hcensor, even though the
revocation would damage the hcenSee.
A permanent right can be acquired only
by an actual grant for some considera-
ton or by prescription, that Is. by using
the right of way for the number OF
years prescribed by statute, usually 20
years"

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON, PHI. d.

The same fault In another person is
too strong q reminder Of our own.
There is something uncanny about the
duplication Of any part Of your person
atty by another individual. We resent
it in clothing, in manners, In personal
appearance and, most of all, IN our
faults and shortcomings.
But whether our resentment Is con-
scious or unconscious the true motive
Is compensation. We are trying to
make up for Q lack or to cover up a
defect in our character. This is known
technically as a defense mechanism.
Every one suffering from a stigma Of
any sort Is likely to compensate for it
by some defense acknowledgements

announcement of the same fault in
