Summer When Old Sol
Refused to Function

From various records, including
the famous diary Of Charles Pierce,
ice and snow appeared to have been
mighty occurrences during the
month Of June, 1916. July, whose
average temperature is said to
have been less than 70 degrees, also
experienced ice and frost. The
mean temperature for the month
of August dropped still lower than
that of July, as much as an inch
of ice forming on ponds during the
colder nights, according to old
chroniclers. Six inches Of snow
had fallen on the eighth day of
June, and in some parts of New
England, it is said, the ground re-
manned white with snow through
out the entire summer. Crops were
generally frozen out and ruined, al
though one story relates that the
more resourceful farmers managed
to save little corn by keeping fires
burning in their fields at night

600 persons cheer the opposing

AT The IRIS

Bebe Daniels will be seen at the
Iris theatre, Friday and Saturday,
May 80 and 81, in her latest pic
lures, "Alias French Gertie". Miss
Daniels is seen in the role of a
clever female racketeer. The story
is concerned with an expose of the
smooth methods of high society
crooks and the story is most thrill
ling. The underworld atmosphere
is startling real and exciting, and
much of it is due to the splendid
playing of the leading performers
Miss Daniels and her fiance, Ben
Lyons-their engagement having
been announced recently. In the
cast in support Of Miss Daniels and
Mr.. Lyons are Robert Emmett o.
Conner, Betty Pierce, John Ince,
Daisy Belmore, Nella Walker and
Arthur Housman.
Snappy dialogue, tuneful melo-
dies, jazzy dancing, and all the
thrills of a championship football
game between rival universities
make $50 This Is College, which
opens a three-day engagement at
the Iris Sunday, June l, one of the
best of bets for good movie en-
tertainment. This new collegiate
comedy was filmed on the campus
of the University Of Southern Cal
ifornia and hundreds of students
worked in the pictures as extras.
Robert Montgomery and Elliot
Nugent share the leading mascu-
line honors and Sally Starr is the
leading lady. (Ukelele 1ke) Ed
wards fills the comedy role. The
plot centers about the bitter rlv-
airy between the University Of
Southern California and Stanford
university. The swiftly moving
action reaches a climax at the big

Press Agents Unknown
to Medieval Writer'S

"A striking feature of medieval
literature is its general anonym-
ity," writes II. W. Schofield in
English Literature from the Nor
man Conquest TO Chaucer." Of the
many who wrote. the names of but
few are recorded, and of the his
tory of these few we have only the
most meager details. Nor is this
a simple accident. Formerly, the
Importance attached to any au-
thor's personality was far less than
now. In case either Of a narrative
or a didactic work, it was the sub
stance above all that attracted at
tention. Originality of matter was
deplored as a fault.
independence of treatment
meant to our forefathers contempt
of authority, heinous offense in
their eyes. it was as unsafe for
a story-teller to depart from the
Well-marked lines of inherited ira
dition as for him to disregard or
thodoX beliefs. And even the
greatest dared not present new
views without at least claiming au-
gust support. A prudent author
sought a powerful patron in order
to insure success, or fathered his
inventions on some ancient worthy
who could not deny them. But
the last thing he would have
deemed wise would have been to
copyright them as his own"

Monarch and Minister
Both Soldiers at Heart

I have said that Louis was mill
tary; from the childhood when he
ranged little toy silver regiments
and harnessed toy guns to dogs, to
the last great day before Perpignan.
l have said that Richelieu was es-
sentially a commander. Well, the
two men having this one capital ma
tional quality in common, though
very differently exercised in both,
were linked by it. They were both,
at heart, soldiers.
Louis XIII would never have
made a good general officer; Richie
lieu would not only have made
one of the best general officers
in history, but did in practice
act as a general officer of the high
est talent; and if he had been called
emperor instead of cardinal, the
whole world would see it.
Louis Mi could never have
swept over a mass of detail with his
eye, choosing the exact instant in
which to plant the blow, to fall on
the defensive, or to retire, organ
ize, and triumph through organiza-
tion. He could not ever have
handled great numbers of men.
Richelieu had all those qualities.
Both men differing so vastly in the
degree of their military talent, were
military to the core, and therein is
found the true point of contact be-
tween them.-From "Richelieu," by
Hilaire Belloe.

Uniformity in Spelling
Making Slow Progress

OF, all the hundreds of languages
in the world Spanish is recognized
as the most perfect phonetic. The
Italian tongue is a close second.
This is why these tongues are
among the easiest for foreigners to
learn. The French academy has
made some progress toward a uni
form spelling of French, but the sys-
TEN is yet far from perfect.
When it is remembered that even
Shakespeare spelled his own name
in 30 different ways, it is not hard
to sympathize with foreigners and
elementary pupils in our own
schools who face the difficulties of
mastering the multitudinous forms
of spelling.
Perhaps some time a uniform sys-
tenn may be adopted by English
speaking peoples, but it will not be
soon.-Kansas City Star.
