GLEANINGS'
::AND ::
SCREENINGS
By ANDREW X. KELLEY

One of the embarrassing tea-
lures of being an interviewer
Is that often in the pursuit of
interesting news nuggets you
have to PROFOUND strictly per-
sonal questions.
However, business is busl-
ness. so in suite 53S of the
Hotel Carlton yesterday alter
noon | asked Charlie Farrell
whether the printed stories
about his being heartbroken
over the recent marriage OF
Janet Gsynor were true. OF
course you know Janet is his
screen partner, and the team
constitutes William Fox's big
gest money winning ace.
Mr.. Farrell was pretty nice
about it all. He has been in
the limcIght long enough to
know that celebrities have to
submit to more than the aver
age prying into private affairs.
"No. this isn't heartbroken
tour" he said. CAS- matter
of fact Janet's marriage was a
surprise to me as it was to
everybody. 1t happened when
/ was three days away from
Hollywood and in Chicago. ]
don't know exactly what to say
except that there was never
any serious sentimental attach
ment between us. She is a
perfectly adorable girl and you
couldn't ask for finer screen
partner. She loves her work
as | do-has a fine understand
ing of what it's all about, and
Is sympathetic and considerate
of others. Ny regard for her
was the same as that which she
enjoys with all of her profess
sional associates - mixture of
admiration, respect and affec-
ton for a real artist and
great girl"
"Janct and / talked of many
things and sometimes of marri-
age. but not to each other said
the blonde Charles. "You
know he added, when you
work with someone and mingle
with them socially there are apt
to be stories attaching a roman
, tic Importance to just a close
friendship. Sometimes it's
little embarrassing, but I accept
it as one of the necessary evils
of business which makes you
somewhat of a public figure"
| told him that the Holly
wood stories also said his
romance with Virginia Valli
was flaming again. "Do they

say that" he inquired, as
though he couldn't believe it.
Well they have said it, basing the
report on the fact that while
Mr.. Farrell is making his tour
of personal appearances, the
film actress is sailing his nice
new boat around the harbor
of Los Angeles. with his per-
mission.
Virginia happens to be one of
my oldest and closest friends
he explained. 81 mean, of
course in the sense that she was
one of the first acquaintanccs
made on the coast. Really,
it's hard to keep up with these
rumors. A soon as one is dis
posed Of another comes up"
Before we could pursue the
subject of unauthorized ro-
manccs involving the nar1e of
the Fox star, our tcte a tete
was ended by the arrival Of
Lieut.. and Mrs. Forest Close
and Lieut.. Chester Wood. with
Miss Helen Foster, of Boston,
Navy friends of long standing
who made the acquaintance Of
Charlie Farrell when the U. s
S. West Virginia was stationed
on the West Coast.
Mr.. Farrell impressed one of
his ardent admirers as a boy
ish star completely unspoiled by
the success which gives him
four figure salary check every
week and has made his name
and f2ce a familiar one with
millions of screen sddicts.
He was filling out a check
and finishing letter to a
close friend in Montreal. Charlie
saw a perfectly swell coat while
appearing there, one that he
thought would look pretty nice
on his sister, but in the hurIv-
burly of a crowded visit he got
away without buying it. Some
time soon his sister will get a
surprise.
About personal appearances
Mr.. Farrell has decided opin-
ions. He likes them. "If |
could arrange it. | would like
nothing better than to be able
to make a tour of at least one
month year and contact di-
directly with audiences. The
receptions are inspiring" he

MudnouS Rhode Island Pris0n-
 CTS Immediately Disciplined

Providence, Dec. 26 P)-While & dozen state troopers armed with rot guns performed emergency pa- trol duty at the Rhode Island state prison at Howard today, IS ring leaders of mutiny last night were in solitary confinement.
 Warden Charles E. Linscott said that $40 prisoners turned the in- stitution into q riotous bedlam when their Christmas movies were omitted because the authorities could not obtain proper films. This morning when 10 of the men per sisted in expressing resentment by refusing to go to work, they were threatened with discipline and two were placed i'll strait jackets
 In commenting last week on the riots in the Auburn. N. Y. prison, Warden Linscott asserted that too much welfare work and too little discipline could probably be blamed for unrest in penal institutions.
 He said that for the mutiny last night the prisoners. many of them lif"rs. would be deprived of their usual Friday night movies for a long time.
 Describing the din raised by screaming, bawling convicts last night Linscott said it was the worst he ever heard" The prison- CTS stamped, beating the bars of their cells with utensils and in- sanely cursed the guards.

Man of Mystery Gives Policemen
 SlO Bill For Their Relief Fund

He walked quietly into police headquarters Christmas Eve, placed a $I0 bill on the desk in front of Lieut.. samuel Bamfor,h, wished the police a Merry Christmas and walked out again.
 For several years hc has done this, contributing his gift to the po- Ice pension and relief fund. Ap- parcntly in modest financial circum- stances, he never forgcts his friends, the bluoCOats.
 So far as the police know, his name is Joseph Pugcl. Further they know nothing about him. not even his address. Regularly he plays the role of Santa Claus and he comes and departs as mystcri- ously as that bonofccnt old fellow who waits until the world sleeps to distribute his panaccI for sorrow.

 Social and economic status is of no consequence in determining at titude toward law. The outstanding conclusion is that children do not differ greatly from adults in this attitude. We find a lawless attitude as frequently among those of high intelligence as among those Of low Lawless attitude seems to be a problem of the individual"
 Leaving home on Christmas, sci cntists from all parts of the country started for Des Moines for their annual meeting which will continue through January with no time to to celebrate New Years day. An nually these members of the Amer ican Association for the Advance ment Of Science, the largest gen. oral scientific organization in the United States, make d similar trek, giving up the holidays that 10 null tltudes are almost sacred. and giv- ing rise 10 questions why scientists do such things.
 Necessity rather than choice is the reason. Although science has spread throughout industry, the teachers in school and colleges still remain the largest fountain head of science in the United States. They cannot leave their principal busi- ness, which is teaching, during school months, and they are too scattered by other necessary occu- patlonS to use summer vacation time. The Christmas holidays offer the only other period of sufficient length.
 Formal opening of the conven- tion takes place Friday night, but sectional meetings get into full swing Friday forenoon and the edu- cation section began today.

ILL HEALTH CAUSED
 BY DECAYED TEETH
Dr. DumOnt Warns Against Dis.
 eases Which Affect Bodies

Teeth play an important role in the preservation of health and prompt attention to defects is of vii tai Importance, Dr. Louis J. Dumont superintendent of health, points out m discussion of that subject, writ ten by him today.
 Among the ailments which might be traced to diseases of the teeth and gums are listed. Heart disease, Rheumatism, joint disturbances, ncu- rltls and many others.
 Under the caption of Teeth. Car ies and Pyorrhea," the health super intcndent writes:
 "Thc prevalence of dental defects IS amazing. Ten million mon were cx- alnlncd in pursuance of the Sclcctivc- service act during the World War. Of all the rcjections about eight per cent were on account of ulccratcd and aching teeth.
 "Of all the causes of school ab- scnccs, 40 per cent arc duo to ulcer atcd and aching teeth.
 "Mouth infections arc alleged to be responsible for q multitude Of ills.
 Heart disease, rheumatism, joint disturbances, neuritis and several other ailments have been attributed to mouth infection.
 ''There are two forms of mouth in lection. The first is called carries. It attacks the tooth itself Tho other affects the gums. This form is called pyorrhea.
 The mouth SWarmS with germs This is no wonder, Dc cause we put almost everything in the world into it, including our own dirty fingers. Some of these germs have the power to convert certain foods into tactic acid Sugar and starChes are the par ticular foods which may be acted upon in this way. Suppose We eat such foods at night and go to bed without cleaning the teeth; immcdi- ately, the acid forming germs of the mouth go to work in this material lodged on our teeth, and gradually cavity is eaten into q good tooth. Thus carries begins.
 "Pyorrhca follows injuries to the gums due to the accumulation of tartar. Os the tissues dissolve, a poe kct forms about the tooth.
 such a pocket is q splendid cul- tUrc bed for the growth of bacteria They thrive and multiply here. Then they travel, by means of the blood and lymph streams, to remote parts of the body In this way, the germs reach the joints,' causing inflamma- lion and deformity. In an endless number of cases, in the experience of every physician, the teeth have been found to be the factor rosponsi- ole for sickness with fatal results.
 PreNc"tiOn
 II. DO not neglect to usc the ,ooth brush every night and morn ing. Brush the teeth not only side ways but up and down.
 70 Teach your children now, to brush their teeth and insist that they do it regularly.
 8. When you receive notice from the school nurse, that your ahildrcn's teeth are dccayed, consult your dentist. "4. The teeth ought 10 be rcgu- Iarly inspected by good dentist, at least twice q year"
