ne would click. But now the
same sponsor has bought Eddie
Cantor. And as much as I ad-
mire Mr.. Cantor when visible, it
is in a dutiful sense that I recall
him as an even lesser radio at
traction than Chevalier. He is
nobody'S radio prize.
The same firm now clamoring
to pay him an unseemly wage,
has gone a step farther in its
dizzy plunge and allowed Dave
Rubinoff to quit the air over a
paltry thousand dollars. Rubin
off, built up to lofty pinnacle
at great cost, exits after next
Sunday nights program at WEAF.
He received notice last Saturday
that in view of Cantor's price, he
and his orchestra would have to
take q $1,000 cut. Dave couldn't
see 1t and threw up the sponge.
AS yet no orchestral successor has
been picked.
But a perfume firm, and hear
q cigarette manufacturer, are
anxious to take over Rubinoff
and cash in on the prestige so
generously paid for by his late
sponsor. Meanwhile, Mr.. Rubin
off is going to Pittsburgh, his
home town, to smoke up.

The two combatants, however,
were not impressed. Nervous
from a night of anticipation, they
circled cautiously, measuring each
other and trying to get up cour-
age to lead.
Suddenly, Cantor cried: "Hey,
you fellows? come over here"
The boys in the ring promptly
dropped their hands and came
over to the ropes. AS they got
there, Cantor whipped a small
volume from his pocket.

To be indignant is to be cross, angry
you know. Bill Mink was indignant.
He was very much so. And Farmer
Browns Boy was the object of that
indignation. You see, 1t was this way:
Farmer Browns Boy peered between the
bushes on the banE of the Ri0 River
just in time to see the tail of a pick
erel disappear. 1t disappeared in the
end of an old Snow-covered leg lying
there in the bushes, and Farmer
Browns Boy knew that the log was hol-
low. He grinned.
so this is where you are hiding my
fish," he exclaimed as he stopped over
to look in that log. Finally he had to
lie down in order to look in. He was
greeted by a snarl That was Billy
Mink. Yes. sir. that was Billy Mink. It
was his way of telling Farmer Browns
Boy that he wasn't welcome.
Farmer Browns Boy could see the tail
of a pickerel. He reached in and got
hold of that tail. When he started to
pull that fish cut he found that some
one objected. Yes, sir. some one OBJ
jected. That some one was Billy Mink;
he had fast hold of the head of that
fish. He was pulling in the opposite
direction. He didn't propose to have
That pickerel taken from him If he could
help 1t.
Slowly very slowly, Farmer Browns
Boy drew that pickerel out, Billy Mink
all the time hanging on. 1t was not
until Billy had actually been drawn out
Of that hollow log that he let GO
of that pickerel. But when he
was fairly out of that log he let
go and bounded to one side so quickly
that it was hard for Farmer Browns
Boy to follow his movements. Then
Billy arched his back and fairly
oh nj
eyes were red with anger and the air
was filled with strong, rather unpleas-
ant oder of musk. all of which was proof
CT how very indignant he was.
Farmer Browns Boy grinned at Billy
Keep your temper, you little rascal
said he. What is fair Tor one il fair
for the other. You robbed me- but am
not really robbing you. fer am only
getting back what was mine. 1t was
very clever Of you. Yes, ind2ed. it was
very clever. But now the tables are
turned you don't like it. Well, I suppose
that were I in your place 1 surely
wouldn't like 1t. You feel that you are
being robbed by great giant who is
taking advantage of his Siz-. but ycu are
not. Even If those fish had net been
mine in the first place the law Of the
Green Forest and tho Green Meadows
would make them mine now-the law
that says to him who can take and
keep thing. that thing belongs All
the little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows kncw that law and
live up to it. 1t his always been the law
and always will be. We humans have a
better law 1t is that only those thin-s
honestly obtained belong to any man.
Well, this pickerel is all right Now
I'll see what more you have in here"
He thrust his arm in the hollow log
and presently drew out several minnows
Then he found what he WIS searching
for. the other pickerel. This was the
first one taken from the bank Billy
had taken bite from just back of the
head. but otherwise it YVES all right

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, January 20(N.A.N Al
There is motion picture history in the
making; that is, if all the infallible
signs and portents are to be taken as
having the same significance they have
had in previous motion picture crises.
Sylvia Sydney, brunette, pretty, pos
sessed of plenty of 1T" went in yester-
day to play the role Clara Bow was to
have played in the picture opposite Gary
Cooper, and the Paramount corporation
declares that Clara Bows doctor has
demanded that the star take a four
weeks rest.
So adversely have court appearances
dealt with Clara Bows nerves that the
district attorney, who had earlier in the
case signified his intent of recalling her
to the witness stand later, now says he
will probably do without further ap-
pearances of Miss Bow. But meanwhile
crowds surprising any that have here
tofore collected at the famous lit girls
suit against her former companion and
secretary, Daisy De Doe, have blocked
the vicinity of the courthouse.
The most significant factor in this
entire case is the rumored ire of club
women who have been credited with a
restless rumbling and tendency TO de-
mand less ShenaniganS in the stars put
on the screen for their delectation and
that Of their husbands and children.
That the romantic adventures of
Clara Bow should make her an object
of group diSapproval seems almost
laughable in 1881. But not so very
long ago this thing happened to Mary
Miles Minter, involved in an unsavory
murder mystery, and to Mabel Nor
mand, who, although proved beyond a
shadow of a doubt to be clear of the
slightest faint of participation in the
Taylor tragedy, was destroyed by con-
tact with it.
Women's organizations at that time
strenuously objected TO Mabel Nor
mand's screen appearances, and the
world lost the best Coincidence of pan
tornime it ever had. Edna PurViance
lost out in pictures because of unpleas-
ant publicity
At this telling that is the thing which
threatens Clara Bow-the thing which
producers fear may destroy box-off1ce
returns. For some time now the cor
poration has been trying to build Clara
Bow as a dramatic actress. They feel
she has ability along that line. So her
stories have been bolstered with an in
teresting and capable cast instead OF
the usual material given a Bow type.
Gradually the entire quality of Clara

is just the thing to wear on cold, windy
or snowy days, when you want some
thing that is warm without being diff
ficult to wear.
The original was made from fabric
fur, but it may be copied in velvet,
corduroy or any attractive woolen ma
terial. 1t is. as you see. no more nor
less than close-ftting beret, but by a
simple arrangement Of elastic it is made
to fit down we'll at the back
The pattern for this beret is very easy
to cut. 1t consists merely of circular
portion for the top and a straight bias
strip for the sides. 1t is a good plan
to cut the pieces first from some mex
pensive cotton material, 50 as to be sure
that you have the right size. First,
measure the top piece, and then, meas
turing the circumference of this circular
portion, cut a strip about 3 inches
longer, cutting the ends in diagonal
line. Seam these ends together and
apply the band to the top in seam,
easing the band on little at the back
and sides. A strip of elastic about 6
inches long is inserted in the lower
edge Of this band to take up the full
ness at the back.
Having cut your pattern of the right
size, cut the circular piece and the band

Bows work would have changed yet
the metamorphosis would have been SO
imperceptible that audiences would have
felt no jolt.
The role opposite Gary Cooper was
the first of these big chances in new
field. And the Daisy De Doe business
has undoubtedly checked it.
women of the world allow her to pro-
coed as before? It's hard to say,
Strange little twists can make great
havoc in a public life, and this little
twist comes at very bad time.
When Daisy De Doe tells that she has
been secretary, companion. maid and a
let of other things to Clara Bow there
is a tendency to forget that all this was
done by Daisy De Doe for considera-
ton 1t was a job for which she was
we'll paid, even at the SIS a week rate
on which she was begun. A lot of girls
who work very hard from morning till
night for far less than SIS week would
have regarded Daisy De Boe's job as a
Sinecure.
But the lawsuit is revealing to an
avid public lot of things about a star
which shouldn't be revealed. The ia
nous red hair is dyed, says Daisy over
the vigorous denials of Clara, from
dark garden variety brown. (That's
true of most of the red heads of Holly
Wood)
Daisy paid Clara's bills. and the pub
lie is learning that some of the large
checks were written for poker debts and
some to buy presents for boy friends
The public has heard about these boy
friend from time to time, but seeing
them indexed, so to speak, has them
all worked up.
1t might be very sane thing on the
part OF the women of the world to re-
gard motion picture actresses as mo-
ton picture actresses, to think of
them only from the standpoint of their
work as entertainers and to forget thei:
private lives completely.
Sarah Bernhard carried on to the
finish in spite of lot of boy friends
ami exciting publicity. So did Anna
Held and a lot of others. In the inter
csts of good craftsmanship it might be
a good idea not to identify the work of
public characters with their private
lives.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.
First Aid.


You may know what to do for
first aid in case of a cut or burn or
bruise, but if you haven't the first-aid
tools and materials at hand where you
can get at them in hurry, your skill
as first alder isn't worth a good deal.
1t is possible to buy inexpensive small
tin boxes equipped with firSt-aid neceS-
stiles, but for practical home use a
rather larger box is a good selection.
Possibly you have covered pa 5teboard
box left from Christmas. IL or IA inches
square and or inches deep. Into
this you can put the small tin kit
and additional supplies or you can buy
separately all the small articles needed
and put them into the pasteboard box,
which should be marked with a ed
cross. cut from red paper or applied
with crayon or paint and left in a
conspicuous place in the bathroom.
Your box should contain pair of scis-
sors never used for any other purpose,
because in case of emergency precious
seconds may be wasted looking for
scissors to cut the bandages. Then
there should be one or two rolls of
bandage, a roll or box of sterilized
absorbent cotton, a small package Of
gauze and pair of tweezers to use
for removing splinters.
In this box you should also keep
a small bottle of iodine and a bottle
of alcohol. The alcohol is used to
rub the surface of the skin before
removing splinters or to remove dirt
from the surrounding surface of a cut
or bruise. Before using tweezers or
other instruments you may be sure
that they are clean by dipping them
in hot water and then in alcohol This
does not, of course, make them sur
gically sterile but it is generally
satisfactory precaution in case of emer-
gency.

He prides himself on that. Nothing
apparently pleases him more than to
have the opportunity to discuss the
subject
1t was fletcher who, Immediately after
the World War, advocated establish

the great wartime feet of merchant
craft. And it was he who opposed in
the Senate the sale by the international

ment operation as a means of keeping
the American flag on the seven seas.
