Then he told me fds big discovery
with much feeling when he said,
The three things which make life
worth living are health, love and
work and 1 have had all three.
Smoking his pipe with evident
satisfaction and with his tobacco
pouch on the table before him, the
actor told me that he had been off
and on the Claypool site for more
than forty-five years.
q can remember back forty-flye
years ago when the Bates House was
here" he said. Il remember one
time about forty years ago, 1 was
playing here State Fair week.
This amusing incident happened
one evening in the dining room. A
country gentleman and his girl were
at one table. And he was very much
country. honest and all of that.
THE Bates management, desiring
to get more class, had the menu
written in French and the Negro
waiter beaming with mirth handed
the country gentleman the menu.
He blushed and became confused
and the scamp actually handed the
menu to the girl. The waiter
beamed more and more. Fir 'ly the
boy said, 'Damit all, bring 10 some
food
Just An Incident
isn't it funny how some Of the
littlest things of life clings to our
memory. 1 will never forget that
incident"
The last time Mr. Warde acted in
this city was many, many years ago
as Nobody in 'Everywoman.'
A letter from his grandson was
before him when I asked him his
opinion about youth today.
1.-THE youths of today have more
self-reIance and esteem than years
ago. 1 have seven grandchildren
and I can speak as family man.
Talking of the folly of youth, l
ran away from home and went on
the stage and it was the darnedest
stupidest thing for boy to do.
Fortunately, I was partly successful.
when we look at the younger
generation today, we better look
back to our own youth"
I told him that all famous men
were announcing their ten greatest
list. He smiled and told me that
would take some thinking.
Il have always considered Edwin
Booth the greatest actor l have ever
been associated with or seen on the
stage. For a practical scientist, 1
would put Edison in the list.
Bernard Shaw is a question
mark At times he impresses one
with his philosophy and then at
times you think he is shaking the
cap and bells at you.
Roosevelt is a greater man dead
than alive" he said in giving up
thinking about the ten best list.
Some of MS Wisdom
Some of his punch lines in his in
terview we're: Youth of today is
born to the automobile, not the
horse and buggy. I doubt if you
could get lady today in buggy.
1.-THE radio is to my mind the
miracle of the age.
THE movies is very interesting
modern entertainment as long as
they are clean and wholesome.
Many pictures are wonderful eX-
amples of scientific photography but
nothing can take the place of the
magnetism of two human beings, I
mean the actor and the actress.
THE drama is one of the Oldest, if
not the oldest, form of popular en-
tertainment. 1t will continue as
long as the world will last but its
nature and its greatness will depend
upon the people"
I told him that many critics were
contending that Mrs. Fiske was the
greatest living actress.

UPSW|NG IN STOCK
PRICES IS RESUMED
Market Continues Rally of
Late Yesterday With Heavy
Trading Volume.
BY STANLEY W. PRENosIL.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The stock
market opened with an outburst of
strength today, turned reactionary
around midday, when fresh selling de-
veloped in the copper shares, and then
rallied again in the early afternoon un-
der the leadership of the amusements
and public utilities. Trading was IN
fairly heavy volume, with the ticker
running about Is minutes behind the
market.
There was little in the days business
news to influence the price movement.
Arthur Reynolds, Chicago banker, was
quoted as saying that |business Is I'M
proving more slowly than optlm1StS
would have us believe, but, nevertheless,
it is improving and, in my opinion, will
continue to improve with probably no
considerable upturn until after July l."
A rebound in wheat prices had favor
able effect on speculative sentiment, but
most of the days earnings reports made
unfavorable comparisons with the nrst
quarter Of last year.
Many Of the leading commission
houses expressed the opinion that the
recent selling was IN the nature OF q
correction Of a weakened technical po-
sition and that the market was In
much better position as result OF the
shake-out. A drop in call money from
4 to 81 per cent, with loans available
in the outside market as low as per
cent, had a favorable effect on sentl-
ment and probably provided some slim
illus to pool operations.
In the midday selling, Anaconda,
Kennecott and some OF the other cop
ners sank to new lows for the year.
Vanadium Steel and Pittsburgh Coal
each dropped more than points, the
latter touching q new low. Union Car
hide fell 3 points and United States
steel common, American Can, Radio
and some Of the other leaders sold
down q point or two, but most OF them
made good recovery In the early art
ernoon rally.
J. I. Case was again a spectacular
feature, adding nearly 10 points TO It's
recent sharp gain by touching another
new high at 1924. Diamond Match
scared II points to $50, and Keith Al
ee-Orpheum preferred jumped 12A 70
l4l. ali new highs. Worthington Pump,
Allied Chemical Peoples Gas and Radio
Keith Orpheum sold 5 to 8 points nigh
err, the last named attaining new peak
at 47A.

Keesport Tin Plate, Loew's, Pathe issues
and Fox Film all moved into new high

The Democrats up in Maine, at their
State convention, have adopted a plat
form containing dry" plank. That
is not surprising in Maine, where pro-
hibition has been supported by the
voters for many years. But 1t is not in
line with the sentiment in most of the
other New England states. Massa-
chuSetts, next-door neighbor. will have
a wet Democratic platform and wet
Democratic candidates, for example.
Representative Henry B. Steagall Of
Alabama was one of the principal
speakers at the Maine Democratic State
convention. He started line Of attack
on the Republicans and the Hoover adj
ministration that is likely TO be followed
paign. Mr.. Steagan declared that Presi-
tive wing of the Republican party aimee
he has been In ONCE. He attacked the
tariff bill and the farm bill and turned
his guns on ClaudiuS II. Huston, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, who has been Quizzed by the
Senate lobby committee on his con-
nection with the Tennessee River I'M
proVement Association. which was lob
bying in connection with Muscle Shoals.
1t seems quite clear that Mr. Huston Is

the rest Of his service as chairman Of

Still an Experiment.

From the Oakland Tribune.
II the San Francisco experiments In
the treatment of cancer justify even a
small part of the hopes Of those who
are making them, a large and impor-
tant advance will have been made in
a field Of research which is occupying
the attention of medical scientists the
world over.
1t remains a public duty to call at
tention to the fact that the San Fran
cisco doctors call their work but an ex-
pertinent and say they have no evidence
to support the claim their preparation
can cure or prevent cancer.
That being so. great harm may come
with the holding out of false hopes TO
sufferers, particularly to those IN places
far removed. II people are TO sacri-
fice their money, give up the treatment
they have been undergoing, and trave!
long distances on q promise not yet
authenticated, the costs may run high
in money, suffering and death.
Medical annals reveal many discov-
cries reported to be of utmost impor-
lance: there have been numerous waves
of hysteria occasioned by the sudden
offering of false hopes, and there have
been heavy penalties to pay.
An experiment is under way by men
who did not wish to make 1t public at
so early a date. 1t Is being watched
and studied by medical science the
world over, and 1t has not had time to
demonstrate its worth. A public hold
ing the highest hopes for its ultimate
success will do we'll to heed the words
of the doctors concerned, the American
Medical Association and the lessons of
the past and refrain from attributing
to that which has been done more than
the discoveries themselves would dare
venture.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRAcEWELL.

The Cherub In art is the winged
head of Q beautiful and innocent child.
So It was . Cherub, nothing less. who
looked at us as we sat on the stone
wall at Twentieth street and Massaehu-
The child, gazing from the car which
had been stopped by the lights, was
merely a head. The rest OF her was
She had a beautiful head, crowned
with thick, wavy, darkbrown hair. She
was about years old, but had serious
look far beyond her age.
There could be no question that she
nodded her head. She not only did 1t
once but three times in Q dignifed,
old-fashioned way, yet touched with a
bit of coquetry.
"she is nodding to you!" came the
thought.
Now. it was Sunday afternoon, q
beautiful Sunday afternoon, when one
could not have been blamed for flirting
with the devil, let alone q Cherub-
and q beautiful Cherub, at that, one
who insisted on nodding.
So we waved back.
We waved boldly, openly, caring moth
ing for Father and Mother, sitting in
the front seat, nor for Big Sister-n
all probability-in the back.
BY this time the amber light was
showing in the traffic control.
Our Cherub smiled quizzically.
We waved again, and thought we got
an answering wave, although We could
not be sure, our head was In such q
whirl by this time.
The green light flashed and the car
leaped away. The Cherub, turning to
the back window, looked back at US
and this time she did wave.
And we swear we saw wings.

Children are so much more naive
about their likes and dislikes. Il don't
like you," they will say, very plainly.
If they do, they will look at you with
eyes which say as plainly, II think you
are pretty nice, do" There usually
is no half way with the kids.

Walt Whitman, something Of child
himself, put their unspoken attitude into
words for them:

and like you, why should I not tell you

Well, there are many reasons why
one cannot be so outspoken, but chief
of these are common sense and the dam
ger that one may be mistaken.
Too often passing liking is based
on nothing more than a pretty face,
or nice hair. or smile. or two violet
eyes Swallowed by long lashes.

Yet sometimes liking is instructive, is
it not?
All of US have seen persons whose
faces linger in memory, and whom 1t is
always a regret We did not somehow
manage to speak to.
These people undoubtedly constitute
ones Unknown Friends, those similar
souls. throughout time and space, who
should be known but unfortunately are
not.
Life plays many a sorry trick on the
average human being, but none worse
than this-that it often presents him
with acquaintance he does not want
and deprives him of the friends he
would have liked to have had.
Mankind has tried to decry this
position, using such pretty senti-

The safest of the Unknown Friends
are the great writer's of times past, who
somehow managed to express for US 50
many Of our own thoughts.
A reader has right to regard writer's
as his friends. Surely each one of them
wrote Solely for him. because writing Is
something between one and one, not
between one and a mob The pilinR up
of readers may make for popularity, but
in the last analysis a book is a thing
between one man and one mantle
writer and the reader.
Even more universal than music are
the great books. A symphony is scarcely
better understood than a novel, al
though it does not have to be trans
lated, of course, into another tongue.
Given a good translation, however, a
great book is as at home in Russian as
entertain in score of lands. The
novels of eminent French, German and
Scandinavian authors know no bound
airy lines.
* y n y
It Is solacing to understand that the
Unknown Friend one sometimes passes
on the street, or sees in railroad sta
tions, theaters, or other public places,
already has demonstrated the one mark
of a real friend.
He has not criticized.
Perhaps he deserves little credit for
this, since he has not spoken; but the
fact remains that he has found no
fault, the common vice of humanity
the great blot on friendship.
No doubt he would recognize this
essential If he we're to become known.
At least let us give him credit for it.
Fault-dnding is so common among all
ranks and classes of human beings that
most of US have forgotten just how ugly
and ungracious it is.
From the so-called personal remarks
TO queries IS to why don't you do
this?" and why did you do that?"
criticism Is too much with U.s.
Late and soon every Tom, Dick and
Harry. to say nothing Of every Mary,
Jane and Ann, thinks that he Cor she)
must superintend the life Of his Cor
herr friends.
y
The two things that human beings
mostly crave, although many of them
are never aware Of it. are dignity and
freedom from unnecessary criticism.
In fact. the former involves the lat
ter, because it cannot exist where the
latter functions. If you will look into
the life habits of great and prominent
men, particularly in industry you will
see clearly that their Offices are so or
ganized that their dignity is preserved
by safeguarding them from the I'M
thinking familiarity and resultant fault
finding of the mob.
The Unknown Friend, never coming
close enough to be lured by the untln4nk-
ing urge to criticism which results in
broken friendships, stays a friend, not
being subjected to the ordinary wear
and tear Of life.
So our Cherub will remain forever our
Cherub, sweet, uncrttical, angelic
whereas If we came to know each other
she might end up by asking gravely,
Why have you got all that dust in
your hair?"
