A Certain Rich Man

The man who was called the
Morgan, Hill, Rockefeller, Van
derbilt, and Ford combined" of
Japan, has just died, and in
his obituary notice occurred an
interesting item. Ono day of
each month, all his life, he de,
voted to religious matters, with
passages of ConfuciuS read to
him. "He was one of the great
est authorities in Japan on
Chinese classics, and was an
ardent follower Of Confucian
precepts."
The monthly devotion to re-
ligion sounds both quaint and
admirable, although it may
have meant nothing more, in
Japan, than a perfunctory Sun
day morning in church means
in America. Yet it sounds more
impressive. The picture of this
giant of industry and finance,
reclining at his ease, listening
to words of wisdom, refusing to
conduct urgent business, is
pleasing.
"Distance Lends. "
At the same time, suspect
that young Japanese radicals
found this man as intolerable
as Americans found the sancti.
monious Daniel Drew. Distance
lends not only pathos and en-
chantment, but a kind OF pa
ralysis of the critical faculties.
After reading reports on the
opening of Parliament, the
other day. I went back in my
mind to the time of the Brit
ish election. We thought of it,
here, as a bitter struggle be-
tween men devoted to their
principles; we believed that
every man, in every party, was
selfleSS and Jealous. I don't
think it ever occurred to me
that any candidate was merely
trying to hold his job, with its
salary and its honorS. Yet II
we had an election here today,
we would assume that nine out
of ten candidates we're in for
the money and the privileges.
and not for any principle what
ever.

Now Is The Time To Send
Blankets To Be Washed
Elites Famous Process
Does Them Beautifully
i y OW there is a bette


discovered a marvellous new method
"a method which restores the gentle
huflness of the nap-a method which
in Washington is used only by Elite.
Elites process washes blankets
cleaner. Scientific washing in pure
mild suds of just the right temperature,
then many rlnsings of pure rain-soft
water, take good care of that. Scientific
control of every detail brings your
blankets forth from the last rinsing
sweet, fresh, immaculate. But Elite
goes farther-the nap of the blanket is
made softer, hufier, almost like new!
A blanket is as good as it's nap! When
washed by old fashioned methods
the nap is pressed down, making the
blanket harsh, coarse and scratchy.
Elite, by properly caring for the nap,
renews the downy softness of the
blanket, and actually makes it last
longer! You can see the difference in
the small illustrations below. It's so
convenient, too, to bundle up your
blankets and send them to Elite. Now

When the Evening Star was owned by MT Magnus, he formed separate com- pany which he called the Metropol- itan Picture Service, which SUD- piled papers all over the country with a daily picture service, in mat form. But the picture syndicate was discontinued about five years ago when the paper was sold to it's present owners"
 "Ahe their files available?" Dun dee asked.
 If they are, I don't know any thing about it," the girl told him. and turned to another seeker after bound volumes of the paper.
 "It doesn't matter" Dundee as- of blank paper, on which he quick ly composed the following telegram, addressed to Penny Grain:

 In his hotel, while impatiently awaiting an answer from Penny, he passed the time by scanning all the New York papers of Thursday and Friday, on the chance of meet concerning the private life of Dex- ter Sprague or Junita Leigh Selim. united in death, by the press, at least. There was much space devoted to the theory invol- ing the two New Workers with the murder of the racketeer and gam bier. "Swallow-tail Sammy Savelli," but only two pieces of information held Dundee's interest.
 The first was reminder to the public that certain theatricmal col umns of Sunday, Feb. 9. had car ried the rumor of Dexter Sprague's engagement to Dolly Martin. popu. lar baby star of Altamount Pictures and that the papers of Tuesday Feb. Il had carried Sprague's own denial of the engagement.
 "So that is why Nita tried to commit suicide on February 9 --and her attempted suicide, with it's tragic consequences for Lydia Carr, i: probably the reason Dexter Sprague gave up his picture star," Dundee unused. "Did Nita let him persuade her to go into the blackmail busi, ness, in order to hold his wander ing, mercenary affectiOns?"
 The second bit of information which the papers supplied him was gleamed by Dundee himself from new summary Of Nita Leigh's last year of life as chorus girl. specially dancer, "double'' in pictures and di. rector of the Easter play at For. syte- on the Hudson.
 '1f Nita got a divorce or ever legal separation from her bus. band after her talk a year ago with Gladys Earle, she got it in New York and so secretly that no New York paper has been able to dis it up," Dundee concluded. "AnG yet she had promised to marry Ralph Hammond!"

In Jersey City, N. J., the first real children's moving picture theater has become a fact.
 The idea has lived in fancy for a number of years but all good things move slowly and the picture house for juveniles has been one of them.
 However, it is reality now and for establishment of the new theater we may congratulate MT Harold Sheri- dan, who has geen working on the children's theater idea for nine years.
 In turn, MT Sheridan gives credit for the final denouement to a certain unit of President Hoover's Child Welfare program as outlined at the Child Welfare Conference in Wash ington last November-that unit particularly interested in the mo- tion picture industry as it touches the children.
 Other groups of people in the vari- ous states have been at work, along the same line for months, principally in gaining the interest and support of parents, for upon the cooperation of parents depends the success of any children's theater.
 This new edifice in Jersey City has 1435 seats, and is of Spanish design. Three performances will be given daily, none after 6 o'clock. Per- formances will be arranged to cor respond with free hours between

 Bob drove Corrinne back to Sarah
 Shades, shut off the motor, and sat talking idly for a few minutes. Corrinne was calmer now. "I
 oughtn't to be seen with you. You'll
 be indicted for Kidnapping me, l suppose. It's the game that every
 body is playing now. Get something on me before I get something on you. Exciting, anyway, but you get tired of playing this kind of tag all the time."
 What are you going to do' Bob asked the question again.
 "Live with Sarah. I can't tell my folks. They'll think we broke up because of my fathers trouble.
 Maybe I'll tell Ted. He would help me. Men, you see Robbie, are so much more understanding that wo- men when the question to be under stood is complex. Maybe it's because they haven't such stay-at- home
 hearts or something"
 "But won't your family find out" Maybe they'll be too busy to no- tice." She had been pulling off her gloves as she talked. Now she gath cred them and her pocketbook into one hand, and slipped the other in-
 to Bob's. Thanks a lot for all your

classes and other free time outside of school.
 Pictures will be chosen by a spe- cial board from lists recommended by public groups of people interest ed in the family picture.
 In Experimental Stage
 The new theater, we are told, is an experiment.. We are also told that fits practical success will en- courage the film industry to follow the example in other cities and towns where similar needs for select ed children's programs exist" and it is added, that it has national as we'll as local importance"
 In these few words lies the key to the whole matter. Will parents stand behind the movement enough to make it pay, at least for itself? It is just as expensive work to build and run a children's theater as it is any other. We, the people, cannot expect moving picture corporations to stand a loss in the process of giv- ing our children an opportunity for betterment. In their endeavor to fill a crying need they have gone more than half way in demonstrat- ing their willingness, at least in this case-to take a chance.
 l nope tnlS new enema house Will be patronized by school children to such an extent that the question of all money risk will be settled once and forever. For that has been the real bugaboo of the children's movie.
 When it proves to it's packers and managers that no deficit has to be made up out of private or corpora ton pockets and the public is will ing to pay it's own bill, then there is no question that we shall see the amazing spectacle of other children's moving picture theaters springing up quickly all over the country.
 Then indeed think the millenium will be here. For we sadly need spe- cial children's theaters. Say it in capitals. The eyes of the country are on Jersey City. We shall see what haODenS

NANCY PAGE Roger Enjoys Pot Roast on Cold Nights
  By Florence La Ganke.
By Florence La Ganke.

Cold, blustery days call for sub stantial food. Lois needed no other proof of this than Rogers appetite. He would come home of an evening with a ravenous desire for food. And he did not want fluffy ruffle desserts nor thin soups. So Lois bored over cook books and consulted with all her friends.
 She made a pot roast which was especially pleasing to the family. The butcher usually gave her top round, although he said that fore quarter or top of shin would do as we'll Lois rolled the meat in flour and then scared it in a heavy iron cook ing pot. She put drippings or a | piece of fat salt pork in which to scar the meat. When it was scared on all sides, she added two teaspoons salt and one-half cup hot water and covered the cooking kettle.
 The fire was turned low and the meat was cooked slowly for three to four hours. She turned it occa- sionally, but did her best to add very little water.
 ! About an hour before serving time she put into the kettle four carrots scraped and cut into halves length wise. Four small onions, eight me- dium sized potatoes, a turnip cut into eighths and a cup of canned
 peas were put in with the meat.

 "Oh!" Corrinne caught her breath on the syllable, and turned quickly to the door. She didn't speak again until she and Bob had left the ele- vator and were on the street.
 So that's Harry's game. He's sav- ing me kept under guard so I can't plot anything with Clifford. He doesn't trust me out of his sight! l hate him, Bob. despise him!"

 had sudden hunch.
 Have you seen Mir Grain re- | gently? He deserted his family and | fled Hamilton. in rather unsavory circumstances"

 "Oh, there was nothing actually criminal, I suppose, but he is ba- | lieved to have withheld some se- CuillieS WHICH "oulu nave Helpeu | satisfy his creditors, when bank

 "January?" Miss Hart appeared to need time for reflection. "Oh, yes! He sent in his card on the l first night of my show that opened I in. January. It was a flop-lasted only five weeks. We chatted
 of the Forsyte girls who are now in Hamilton, most of whom I went to school with or have met at the Easter plays"
 Do you know where MT Grain | is now?" Dundee asked. "I have a
 message for him from Penny. which I should like to reach him." Why should I see him again ?"
 Miss Hart r.arugged. "And I haven't

 "That her mother wants him to come home," Dundee answered
 "And I am sure Penny wants him back. too. The mother is one of the sweetest. gentlest, most tragic women I have ever met and you have seen Penny for your self. The disgrace has been very hard on them. It would be | splendid if Roger Grain would come back and redeem himself" Half an hour later Bonnie Dun- dee in the file room of the New York Evening Star, was in possess

 of fact. That will prove to Harry
 that you are not seeing Clifford. It

 Then suddenly Bob's arms were around her and he was kissing her on her scarlet mouth. hungrily, as though he had waited long long time. She pulled herself away, and turned her head. Then she gasped. A man who had come down the steps of Sarah's house was looking at her. And the man was Harry!

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR DUN- DEE believes that JUANITA SELIM and DEXTER SPRAGUE were both murdered because they were part ners in a blackmail scheme, while the police theory is that they were killed to avenge "SWALLOWTAIL SAMMY" SAVELLl, whom they are supposed to have betrayed.
 Of Dundee's six possible suspects his case is strongest against FLORA MILES. He thinks 1t possible she killed Nita. thinking Nita had told her husband of some scandal fn- voIving her. and that TRACEY MILES killed Sprague to protect his learns that Flora rushed Tracey into marriage and that he, 'tmale wall- flower," was very fIattered.
 In New York, Dundee finds that the dress fin which Nita was cre- mated ard which he thinks is a wedding dress, was :, bought in January, 1918. At the Forsyte school, where the women involved attened and where Nita was di- rector of the Easter play, he learns that Flora left school and became a chorus girl in 1919, and that the rumOr vast that she had bene living with an actor.
 Her parents brought her back, and the story was hushed up. He learns that SERENA HART, For syte girl and successful stage star, recommended Nita for the job. She tells him that she met Nita. who was very kind to her, in the season of 1017-18, and that Nita was mar ried and deserted before the show was over.

The potatoes, onions and turnip cooked to a rich brown in the well favored gravy. Sprigs of parsley were used to garnish the dish. In serving the pot roast Lois used to put the meat in the center of a hot platter and then arrange the vege- tables around as a sort of crown or wreath.
 Sometimes she added a cup of to- matoes to the water in which the meat cooked and quite frequently she put some pepper cornrs in with the seasonings of salt, celery seed and pepper.
