MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
By MOLLlE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 81
(N.A.N.A.) Buster Keaton is working
away on his new picture, and 1t won't
be long now. Talkies threatened to rob
us of this prince of comedians with the
dead-pan face. To be frank, poor
stories threatened to rob us of Buster
Keaten before talkies hove in sight, but
he seems to have found his stride in a
musical comedy medium, and his take
of on the Tony Sarg marionettes seems
to be right in the old Keaton manner.
In a world that is become laugh
minded the Importance of comedians is
not to be underestimated. The stage
has brought in the most popular ones
OF the moment. Jack Oakie Is one boy
who is giving all the screen types a
close run for their money. This moon
faced dancer. with temperament oddly
at variance with his phlegmatic coun-
Brox Sisters with placidity when I
know he's coming on the screen.
Bert Wheeler Is stealing laughs from
the lads of celluloid regime. But not
all the comedians from New York's
Broadway find their niche here. re-
member seeing Frank Craven sitting on
the lot Of Hollywood studio staring
into space. He looked defeated some
how, and I didn't think the gelatin
medium fitted him like glove.
The greatest story in movieland sits
at a desk in the studio of which Joseph
Schenck is the guiding genius. Irving
Berlin, the former Israel Balm, Is hired
to write songs. Groups of trained au-
thorS sit about, racking their brains to
ind stories into which to pour these
songs.
Irving Berlin is himself one of the
greatest stories Of the world. His life.
from that colorful moment when he
was fished out Of a river with a few
pennies clutched in his tiny hand to
the present days Of affluence, is a ire
mendouS scroll. carrying in it all the
elements OF drama, comedy and pathoS
A child OF the tenementS whose gift for
song carried him to place among the
creative personalities of the earth, and
on to a marriage with one of the daugh-
tiers Of Americas aristocracy of wealth
-Ellin Mackay.
But in the interval he was a singing
waiter in one of the little restaurants
he developed the musical fair which is
the source OF his present pr1ncely in
come.
At the risk Of being considered a nut
on the biographical angle of which
celluloid is capable, I shall insist that
until some producer makes the life
story of a cotemporary of paramount
interest, such as Irving Berlin is, the
gelatin medium has not fulfilled the
service Of which 1t is capable.
Because this is a different step from
anything ever attempted, movie barons
are slow to take 1t up. But a census
of what the American public wants for
reading matter reveals that the truth
and nothing but the truth, elaborated
by lies as that truth may be, is what
interests these United States at the
present time. We are reading biography

time that Is consumed by the talk, but
strength as well. Few persons, who
talk a great deal about what they ex-
pect to accomplish, ever succeed in do
ing the things. They have neither the
time nor the energy. Both have gone
out in friutless speech.
Day dreaming Is another channel for
diverting power. Thought, whether
voiced or not, sapS ones energies. If
the thoughts are constructive and ter
inmate In action they are the prelimi-
nary essentials to correct action. To
work without thought Is wasteful Of
energy, for well planned task is easier
to accomplish than one attempted in q
haphazard fashion. But day dreaming
is not planning. 1t is sort of mental
orgy. A revelry of mind that does not
consider action. The pleasure is found
in the contemplation and therefore
amounts to squandering time. One
who INDUCES too much in day dreams
looses the force to act.
Nagging is another method of disSi-
pating energy. A person who nags is
said Ito waste breath" because no one
needs the injunctions and the person
who does the nagging is exerting force
in the wrong direction. Repeating in
structionS without forcing them squan-
ders time and strength. Better do the
things and feel the satisfaction of &C
complishment than fail to succeed and
waste ones breath.
Now is a good time to take stock of
ways and means so that in 1880 ener-
giles can be conserved.

WINTERTIME
BIZ d. C. PEATTIE.

The saddest word of tongue or pen
where Christmas trees are concerned Is
that lit used to be-" II you know any
thing more dismal than the festive
tree Of the holiday season thrown out
in the nearby vacant lot, there to go
dingy and brown and decay, hope you
will not tell me about it. would be
too disheartened. Such is the common
practice. And everybody has to DO
something, you know, with the dis
mantled tree.
It is safe to say that 100000 trees
of various species of the pine family
are sacrificed every year on the affairs
of our Yule feStivity. Think what you
could do with a forest of a million
trees! Or, rather, don't think; it is
headachey to do so.
I have never satisfactorily solved the
problem of the discarded Christmas
tree. I always feel that it ought to be
put out of the way mercifully or buried
with military honorS or be given a
Vikings funeral.
I tried burning it in my fireplace,
and had to send for the fire depart
ment. tried filling in a place in the
road and the sheriff asked me to re-
move the nuisance. I sent a tree one
year to a welfare center and they re-
torted by sending me a blank asking
me to become a life patron. You, of
course, always dispose Of your trees in
a highly sensible and intelligent fashion.
BY the way, just what do you do with
your Christmas tree?

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Intelligent Way.

My dear boys and girls, agree with
you that too often we try to impose
right and wrong upon your conduct
when there is really no question of right
and wrong in the matter. Just ques-
ton of intelligence.
You 60 racing down the hall calling
to some friend down the line. There
Is no question Of right and wrong, but
there Is a question as to the quality of
the intelligence that permitted you to
make disorder in crowded corridor.
You know that on certain date
you are to take test. The teacher
tells you all about it well in advance
SO that you may prepare for 1t. In
stead OF doing so you read a pleasant
story, or you go to party. You take
whatever pleasure offers and let the
preparation go for a while Then you
fail. Now would not say you did
wrong. There Is no high morality in
volved In the situation. But you were
not. very intelligent about your own
business. Can you afford to be stupid
about that?
When your father or your mother
gave you an allowance they indicated
that 1t was to be used for certain pur-
poses. BY inference they indicated
that 1t was not to be used for certain
other purposes. Some of the pupils
were going on trip to the town, take
In show and return In time for din
ner. You knew that your people would
not approve so you kept the matter to
yourself, went to the party, used the
money to do so, and were short on
FUNDS for dues, carfare, lunches for q
day or two In consequence. You had
to do some covering up and, of course
your mother and father saw It and the
whole story. had to come out. Greatly
to your distress. am not saying that
you did wrong. Were you intelligent
There was that time when you i'm
piled that all your school work was
done-juSt by piling up your books and
putting your pens and pencils in their
caSes-and clearing the table-and sc
were allowed to go down street to play
games with some friends. Next day
you had no math paper to hand in
and in haste and fear you copied a
friends paper and got pass mark for
the days work. You intended to make
that work up, but you just didn't get
TO 1t and along came a test and there
was the very example you had not
done. You got q poor mark. Was your
conduct intelligent?
What I am trying to tell you Is that
intelligent children have the good sense
to see that there is scheme, a plan of
NE that makes things easier. If one
follows that plan he succeeds II he
diSregards 1t he fails. Some people call
the following Of this plan Brightness
and the disregard of it wroneness
You and I call it intelligence and
stupidity and understand each other
perfectly.
The Ten Commandments were built
upon the experience Of the most in
telligent OF the race. Are you SO stup..:
that you cannot hold the voice of in
tell1gence when it speaks within you?
I am quite sure you are intelligent
certain that you wish to do what is
right and good. You can get at II bv
asking yourself If this or that action
Is Intelligent and proceeding accord
ingly. Just try 1t.

Christmas Club Disbands.

Your newspaper told you that this
year members Of Christmas clubs re-
ceived so many millions. It is hoped
that your interest in this annual news
is distinctly personal
Every one should join a Christmas
club, Of almost every one. Most people
do join to save up their money for
Christmas spending, but when their
club disbands, however, many of their
excellent intentions and designs are
lost or forgotten.
Just because money awaits YOU at
the bank Is no reason to hurry over,
draw 1t out, and then break all records
in spending it. After all it is Just like
any other money; it Is worth as much,
save 1t a. 1t did to pay of your mort
gage, or pay the last life insurance
premium.
II you haven't any immediate need
for It, let 1t remain deposited In the
bank. It will draw interest like any
other money, and bank is safer than
a pocket with a hole In It," Many
women feel especially bountiful with
purse full Of money, and they can
their yearly fling at prodigality during
this season.
Reflect over your own spending ex-
periences. When have you invariably
gotten your moneys worth? Always, I
am sure, when you had TO stretch your
means, when money was tight" and
you had to shop, and bargain. At
Christmas time the same rule applies.
Limit your purse TO small amounts
then go out and see "how much show
little" can buy.
Draw money gradually from your
Christmas club account Or transfer

Your Baby and Mine
NJ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A mother would be much happier If
she would cease putting UP her own
baby for comparison with the neighbors'
and relatives babies and making her
sell miserable because he isn't exactly
IKE them. For any friend to crow
exultaatly, my baby sleeps all night, "
or gains 8 ounces a week." or has
tnree teeth" is enough to cast her down
into the depths II her own baby isn't
meeting or exceeding these records.
This is the fly in the ointment of
Mrs. w. w. S. She writes cat 8
months my Sister-in-laws baby is Sleep
ing all night through and most of the
DAY, and my 4-month-old baby is
sleeping only IA hours. Isn't that too
Fourteen hours sleep isn't quite as
many hours as we would like SO small
baby to sleep, but 1t is still an average
amount. which even some newborn
babies do not exceed. If all conditions
encouraging to sleep, regularity of ali
habits, comfortably full tumrny land
that means a regular gain in weight
1000 are being met by the mother, then
she need not worry too much about the
number OF hours baby sleeps, and lust
let sister in-law's baby walk away with
the record.
Mrs. w. w. S. also wants to know II
cod liver oil should be given In several
doses or only one; II her baby can catch
whooptng cough from a friends baby
who had 1t in September; If she should
takes the baby out, and If glvcerin for
enemas should be used plain or with
water.
Wen tackle them one at time. Cod
liver oil, because it is so rich and fat
might upset baby If given all in one
dose, so We find 1t wiser to divide the
days dose into three parts and give
one dose after three meals instead OF
just one.
After six weeks there would be no
danger OF baby catching whoopinV
cough. The disease is a lengthy one
but not that hardy. In six weeks it has
given up the ghost.
II baby is to get any benefit from his
daily airing. he has to have some areas
OF his skin exposed to the light and sun.
He can't be benefited If he goes out
with his face muff1ed in blankets. He
might as well be in the house. He can
be sheltered from extreme winds by
adjusting the carriage hood, but leave
his face exposed.
There is evidently some misunder-
standing about the glycerin. Glvcerin
Is not used for enemaS except by advice
Of the doctor. Oil enemas are of sweet
oil, one or two tablespoonfuls Injected,
left for few moments. and then ex-
PEELED. Glycerin suppositories are less
irritating than soap ones, and are used
Just as they come in the bottle, though
think 1t an improvement to Oil them
well with vaseline, so that there will be
no irritation due to the glycerin, which
Is rather drying. II you are struggling
with constipation and would like our
leaflet on that subject, 1t may be secured
for the usual self-addressed, stamped
envelope with your request for 1t.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 81, 1865.-"We have before
us a petition now in circulation through
out the country" says The Evening
Star today, started by the National
Womans Rights Association, headed by
Z. Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone and Susan
3. Anthony, asking Congress to so
amend the Constitution as to prohibit
the several States from DISTINGUISHING
any OF their citizens on the ground Of
sex. Va
THE fair petitioners claim that they
represent fifteen million people-one-
nan OF the entire population of the
S iIry-lntellgent, Virtuous, native
oorn american citizens, and yet they
are the only class who stand outside the
pale OF political recognition. The Con-
stlGutlon classes them as free people and
accounts them as whole persons in the
OASIS OF representation, and yet, they
say. tney are governed without their
consent.
AS Congress is now amending the
constitution and, in harmony with adj
VancLng clVlIlzation, placing new safe
guards round the individual rights of
Iour m1lllons OF emancipated slaves, the
PeGltionerS ask that Congress extend the
rlgnC OF suffrage to women-the only
remaining class of disfranchised citi-
Zens.
These petitions will, it is stated. be
sent to Congress Immediately after the
holiday recess. We trust there will be
good many of them. Their requests are
perfectly reasonably, and in the new or
der OF progress we don't see how Con-
gress can possibly avoid granting them
It would certainly be a most illogical
proceeding to give the right of suf-
frage to ignorant persons and deny II
to the millions of intelligent virtuous
patriotic women of the country.
THE passage of such a measure
would give us In this city an addition
Of eight to twelve thousand most agree
able voters. We go in for it. The eff
feet would be most wholesome in re-
forming the present low Condition OF
election morals. The courtesies and
proprieties of the ball room and the
church would prevail at the polls
Husband and wife, brother and sister
lover and sweetheart will walk up tc
the polls, arm in arm. as to church.
THE ladies have shown good iudR-
ment in selecting this as the opportllnt
time to strike for their rights. Congress
while granting everything to everybody
cannot well reject the just demand OF
the oppressed women Of America"

Leg Muscles.

Now that women have decided to be
truly feminine once more and have
adopted long, flowing skirts and gowns
with bows and laces and all sorts of
dainty touches, milady has discovered
that the fiat boyish figure of the last
few years is no longer considered so
chic. For with the return of femininity
to gowns and accessories, the figure that
Is pleasingly plump and thus has a few
curves Is more in the mode than the
fiat, boyish form, which has kept many
a young girl from eating the proper
amount of food for fear she might
gain a few ounces.
But, of course, there is a vast differ
ence between being overweight and
merely pleasingly plump. and the for
mer is no more popular than ever. How
to reduce Is still great question with
many readers, and the number of
letters from those who wish to know
how to reduce the calves and ankles is
indicative of the fact that this Is an
important problem with many. An over
developed leg from knee to ankle is not
always q 'cOmpanied by overweight
however. Many girls and women whose
weight Is correct are annoyed by hav-
ing short, knotty calves, instead of
graceful leg muscles, which are long
and smooth.
AL 6CllCLdlI OILcbCIllLlB, T6IdXlIlK ana
shaking exercises arc effective for max
ing leg muscles graceful. Shaking ex-
ercises may be done while lying on a
bed or sitting on chair. Brace your
knees firmly together, then relax the
muscles Of the lower legs and give
them a good Smoking until tired. Fol-
low this by brief rest, then slowly
stretch your limbs upward, downward
and Sideward.
Another effective exercise for improv-
ing the shape of the legs is done as
follows: Stand erect, arms hanging at
sides. Bend the left knee, raising the
lower part Of the leg backward and up
ward as far as possible Point toe
strongly. Now kick the leg forward
and backward is or 20 times. The upper
part of the leg from hip to knee will
swing little forward, so that the foot
will not strike the floor during the
exercise. Repeat with right leg.
Another exercise which will be sure
to help toward reducing knotty calves
is accomplished as follows: Stand erect.
