plays noted dancer and Owen

Gloria has her fun before she

BERLIN WROTE
20 SONGS TO
FIND FOUR
By HARRISON CARROLL
tcopyrlnht, 1880, Premier syndicatsl

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, Oct. 9.
Discussing the trials of producing
a talkie musical, Irving Berlin
reveals that he has written 70
songs for Reaching for the
Moon," and has discarded all but
four.
The composer is cheerful, how
ever, about the decline in the num-
Der of screen musicals.
"It brings much greater royal
ties for hit numbers" he explains.
when every company was pro-
ducing musicals, the public was
so giutted with tunes that .
number which ordinarily might
sell 10000 copies, dropped down
to about 1000.
with fewer tunes, the public
buys more of each, Little White
Lies for instance, has sold
450, 900 copies in eight weeks"
Berlin declares that q song
properly introduced, and sung all
the way through . picture, can
be q tremendous success. On the
other hand, those which are in
troduced haphazardly gain little
from picture use. =

Birds and Flowers

| THE naturalist should be able to
Il write, since his first concern is
the habit OF observation. He trains
his eye and ear in the search for
birds and insects, and, naturally, it
is not much of trick for him to
adapt this same facility to the hunt
for adjectives and adverbs.
Conpanionsfip with cats induces
in man or woman a somewhat
cynical point of view, but also a
fastidious taste. It is curious that
the world clings to the familiar
adage which enunciates the fact
that a cat may look at a king.
Surely the psychology of this par
ticular epigram is all awry. There
is lack of proper contrast. The
cat is no commoner. It would be
far more to the point to say, "A dog
may bark at a king"
1 don't like cats, because they are
each and every one Of them
born snobs. A dog maximates the
human ego by his devotion and his
servility. A cat ninimizes all your
aspirations.
Even a wan creature from the
alley will receive your favors and
your ministrations with a decided
air of contemptuous amusement.

action in the body which will change
the general condition.
Not only are investigators con-
vinced that inhammations Of the
joints are due to the actual presence
Of the germs in the joint, but also
many of them are inclined to be-
lieve that the poisons developed by
the germs localize in the joints and
set up inflammation.
Usually in such conditions the
whole body is found to be in a de-
bilitated or weakened condition,
The blood is not in a normal state
and the reactions Of the body to
infection are not up to par.
Perhaps the greatest discovery Of
medical science in relationship to
the control Of such conditions has
been the usefulness Of physical
methods Of treatment.
The application Of heat, either by
hot water, hot air, electric heat, or
other methods, is usually beneficial.
A competent expert can secure
for the patient through the proper
use Of drugs and physical methods
a considerable amount of comfort.
Sometimes by the injection Of
foreign protein substances, he is

DAVID DIETZ-

PETROLEUM experts from al
4 parts Of the United States will
gather in Cincinnati from Sept. 8 tc
u for the annual meeting Of the
American Chemical Society.
New developments in the petro-
leum industry, leaders Of the society
say, promise to reshape the future
of the automotive industry.
Many authorities have felt that
the most significant fact Of the fu-
ture would be the dwindling Of the
supply Of gasoline, necessitating in
time extreme conservation methods
New processes, however, including
particularly one Of producing gaso-
line under high pressure, is result
ing in much greater supply OF
gasoline.
A symposium on the phases OF
high pressure production is being
arranged under the chairmanshir
of Professor Norman w. Krase OF
the University Of Illinois.
Experiments in the cracking OF
petroleum, knocking" tendencies OF
commercial gasoline, formation OF
gum in motor fuels, and chemical
reactions involved in gas descriptions

for discussion.

That First Day of School

Sfar+ino a voungster off to school for the first
time is one of those minor but poignant tragedies
that life insists on bringing to all mothers. There
isn't any way of lodging it and there isn't any way
of making it. easy to take. It has to be done, and
that's all there is to it. Still, it isn't much fun
The youngsters of course, usually enjoy it, To
him it is symbol of advancing years. foretaste OF
coming independence. He generally considers that
going to school takes him out of the baby class
and enrolls him. if not quite in the rank of adults
at least long step away from outright infancy. He
gets brand peek at the outside world ana IL

The worst of it is-from the mothers viewpoint
that he is quite right in looking at it that way. The

spoch in childhood 1t brings to sudden close the
nerod of complete dependency the home it slashes
straight through that brief. ecstatc time in which
a child always is on terms of perfect intimacy with
his mother.
That is why mothers, on the first day of school,
experience strange and pitiful difficulty in keeping
the tears back. They always have and they always
will: and to repeat, there isn't anything that can
be done about it, But there is small comfort in that
reflection.
Probably the hardest thing is not, after all, the
knowledge that the youngster has taken the first OF

BY the time We are old enough to be parents, most
of us come to realize that the world is far from be-
ing the pleasant delightful place that we imagined
as children 1t is place in which illusions fade
and in which dreams have an unaccountable way OF
failing to come true. There is a great deal more

Starting to school puts child in line for its first

the lawyers and they don't know what to do about it
and while the condition is disgracefu it prevails,
no doubt In other communities ruled by party
machines, as we'll as in New York under Tanmany.
Under the party system, judges who get on the
bench by election of the people have to get party
nominations first. There is little or no chance of
being nominated even at primary, unless supported
by the party organization.
And when magistrates of the lower court ap-
pointed by mayor, as in New York City, appoint
ments seldom made if at all without approval Of
the Tammany district leader,
The big and little bosses who dictate nominations

There many hgh~class, honest judges on the
bench in New York-men of high character credits to
both bench and bar. But the chances that some
body paid money to politicians to get them there.
The practice is immoral of course It's dsgraceful.
But it is just well to look at conditions they
are, but try to cool down and look for cure after
you get through boiling over with righteous indigna-
ton.
While bad men may get on the bench by buying
Jobs and trying afterward by devious ways to get
their money back, how good. capable, honest and
unpurchasabe judges to get the bench unless some
body puts up the money demanded by political bosses
who control nominations and elections?
Shall they stay out and leave the field wide open
to the crooked lawyers. who naturally become crooked
judges when they get on the bench?
