prove their mettle in every ad-
venture.
Yes, we and the youngsters
should get all this in return for
our struggles, our sacrifices, our
hard cash.
A Universal System
And we COULD get all this
if we set ourselves to it. We
COULD make a system which
would serve our children and,
through them, all the race, just
as surely as we have made a
system which serves the big
Railroad, Steel, Automobile.
Banking and Oil Interests.
WE COULD MAKE A SYS-
TEN WHICH WOULD GIVE
EVERY ONE A CHANCE IN
STEAD OF A FAVORED FEW
A CHANCE
A SYSTEM WHICH WOULD
PAY DIVIDENDS TO ALL OF
US INSTEAD OF THOSE FAV-
ORED FEW.
1t wouldn't be hard. Not
nearly as hard as the shell game
we're running now. Just a mat
ter of everybody getting to"
gether and refusing to be
skinned any longer. Deciding
to use our brains and back
bones. Clearing out the rats.
Regulating working hours. Con-
trolling production. Using the
same sense and shrewdness to
protect our own interests and
make a profit for ourselves
which we've used to protect
and enrich the Big Fellows.
And, by so doing, making a
place for the youngsters as they
come along.
Yes, it could be done. There's
no good reason on earth, save
our own laZiness and stupidity,
why it hasn't been done.
Nothing's holding us back.
Here we are, with all the max
ings, staging the show we want
and running it to suit ourselves.
And how do we run it?

To the Irish

With one Of those magnifi-
gent gestures of which we
sentimental Americans alone
seem capable, Mr.. William
Bowers Bourn, Of San Mateo,
CAL, hitherto unknown to
fame, has purchased from
the Earl of Kenmare 100000
Irish acres and presented
them, as a free gift, to the
Irish Free State. Those
acres contain a jewel of the
world, the Lakes of Killar-
ney, immortalized in song
and story, dear to every
Irish heart and one of the
beauty spots of the earth.
The property, with the
three Lakes of Killarney,
near Killarney Town, has be-
longed to Lord Kenmare s
family ever since the days Of
Queen Elizabeth. Hard times
and crushing taxes forced
Kenmare, as it has driven
other great land holders, to
go to the auction block.
Mr.. Bourn, of California,
of Irish descent, seized the
opportunity to present to
the Irish people one of their
dearest bits of land and
water. There was a famous
castle on the land until
about twenty years ago,
when a fire destroyed it
with its priceless collection
Of art treasurers and his
torical relics.

World Is Flat

In 1906, Elijah the Second
took a vacation and left
Voliva in charge of Zion
and with the usual result.
Dowie s vacation became per-
manent. Voliva succeeded to
the post and the profits of
First Apostle.
Not long ago he took a
trip around the world to
prove his contention that the
world is not round but is
really as flat as a pancake
To his own satisfaction he
proved it, calmly brushing
aside all the science of the
last five centuries.

Don't take the attitude that
your friends should like you de-
spite your failings.
Of course they like you but
that does not make them blind
to your faults, nor any less dis
pleased when they come in con-
tact with your bad habits.
They can excuse, while being
annoyed, and silent to you on
the subject.
You are not expected to
change your individuality.
You are liked or disliked for
your individuality.
But you can change disagree
able habits that are mechanical
faults.
What are yours and when will
you begin to cut them out?

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

A man never has so many
faiings that his wife can't find
some other woman's husband,
who is so much worse that she
can enjoy thinking OF her as
"that poor thing"
Somehow, love always defeats
its own ends by making a
woman shy when she wants to
be responsive, weak when she
ought to be firm, and wistful
when she ought to be amusing.
One reason why the modern
man seems cold and Unconditional
is because it's so hard for him
to make love to girl effec-
lively, when he's serious-and
so dangerous when he's not.
Somehow, a girl likes to think
of a man as big and dominat-
ing and masterful, even if she
has to hand him a club and beg
him to strike her with it.
What a modern girl really
puts into her hope chest, in
place of the good old cook book,

THE Movies 4
By JEAN HERSHOLT
Cop,rirht BY fiaI c. Herman

ITO BE technically correct, a series
l. OF conditions and events brought
about my advent into the movies. First,
and probably most important was the
fact that I was born-well. almost-in
the theater. My parents were well
known theatrical folks and were ap-
pearing in Copenhagen, Denmark. So
from such an suspicious beginning I
was reared in the atmosphere of
painted canvas, grease-paint and foot
lights.
My early youth was very similar to
most other young folks and after a
high school and college training / set
out to be an artist. A number of my
paintings won prizes and bright ca
reer doomed before me-but theatrical
blood coursed through my veins in no
uncertain manner-so tried the stage
May 1 say with all due modesty that
/ soon became widely known for my
portrayals Of characters from the
plays of Ibsen, Strindberg. Bjornsen
and Tolstoy?
The theatrical career, as anyone may
know, is replete with travel and thus
/ soon toured all Of Scandinavia. Here
a motion picture company came into
my life, and for four years 1 worked
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-05-19

before the camera, nearly always In
Biblical plays.
soon became so thoroughly estab-
lished as a player Of Biblical charac-
tiers that / couldn't obtain another
part under any circumstances.
At a loss as to what TO do, I was
on the verge Of returning to the stage
when q most welcome summons came
The Danish government wanted me to
stage and supervise the national ex-
hibits at the San Francisco exposition,
In 1915.
That Of course, brought me to Cali
fornia.
The American Telegraph company,
at Portland, Ore, engaged me soon
after TO direct several pictures. The
old love, acting, didn't thrive under
such neglect so l gave up the direc-
torial phase Of motion pictures to
make several pictures with the late
Thomas Ince.
Then followed a year with the Uni
versal company.
During this period l learned to alb
serb the American technique and at
mosphere and believe you me, it was
almost like being reborn.
The part of Marcus" in Eric Won
Stroheim's great picture, Greed" won
me the praise and plaudits of the al
ways generous press of America and
success was knocking at my door.
Followed number of pictures such
as, "Alias the Deacon" The Battle
of the Sexes" and 'Abie's Irish Rose"
And then talking pictures which In
clude, "Give and Take" THE Girl
on the Barge" "The Climax" and
more recently Grand Hotel"
And there is the story-uninterest
ing, wasn't IL? Yet, between the few
highlights run many incidents that
even the world at large doesn't know
OF, or care about-but to me as in
the old seng-"each tear a pearl"
Ny knowledge Of painting las helped
In my makeup and II may interest
some Of ye'u to know / have played
LOO separate Characterization in my
career.
And In closing I want TO say In a
few words out Of a vocabulary that
seems al too small to express my
sentiments, that the gracious reception
Of my work by the American people
and the kind consideration of the
many men who helped me on my way
during my early days, shall always
remain IN my heart-a glowing
memory.

Still Put Faith
in witch Doctor"
Incident Shows Strength Of
Ignorance and
Stupidity.

A few weeks ago a switch doctor"
was shot to death on a Newark
IN. j. street.
He was a witch doctor who didn't
do his job. He had been hired TO
chase away evil spirits. and when
the evil spirits persisted the death of
the witch doctor himself was indi-
Gated.
When arrested, the murderer frank
ly explained the necessity for the
deed. 1t seems that evil spirits had
for weeks haunted his house. Their
manifestations took the form of one
misfortune after another. misfor-
tunes that could have been the re-
suit of nothing but the workings of
the ~evil eye"
So he went to the man who among
certain of his immigrant Italian
neighbors had reputation as mas
ter of evil spirits. and hired him TO
drive out the evil eye from his house
hold But in spite of the magic white
powder which this man sprinkled
about, the misfortunes were not anne
iorated-the bad spirits did not 90
away. In fact the witch doctors
white powder only attracted more i'll
fortunes. So he killed the witch
doctor.
It seems inconceiyable in this day
and age. does it not. that anyone ex-
posed to the enlightening influences
Of American institutions should still
believe in "evil spirits and attribute
occult powers TO a witch doctor" !
Yet we have a murder TO prove it.
And, come to think of it. the Incl
dent is unusual not so much for the
warped and twisted viewpoint that
was responsible for it. as for the old
fashioned names which the murderer
superstitions.
The words 'evil spirits" and
switch doctor" are out Of date. But
not so stupidity and ignorance, not
benightedness and superstition. not
the desire to blame our misfortunes
on some one else and to hope TO cure
by easier means than getting at the
root Of them The same spirit which
caused this poor man to pin his
troubles on a witch doctor Is respon-
sible for more than that one murder
in the world today. II is spirit not
too foreign TO any Of Us If we allow
ourselves TO be swayed by thought
less emotional reactions rather than
the dictates Of intellect and justice.
And it behooves US all whenever we
feel ourselves swayed by fear or hate
or prejudice or the desire TO place
blame, to make very sure we are not
