cided that he who leaps, like he who
laughs, must leap last to leap best.
So he did.
In the summer of 1914 he went to
work for d. w. Griffith at $1,000 a
week for ten weeks and he made a
picture called "The Lamb which was
an immediate success. Triangle, of
which Griffith was the head, came for
ward with three-year contract and
from then on Fairbanks was Gin" the
movies for keeps.
He also had habit of going to a
given point by the shortest route and
in his earlier pictures he would some
times leap over fence or hedge-and
once negotiated the other side of a
house by going over it.
Here the producers and technical
experts gave vent to grave misgivings
as to the cameras ability to record
such rapid movement. Everything
heretofore had been done very slowly
in pictures and all gestures were de-
liberate-like the old melodramatic
poses. However, in spite of all the
howls Of protest, Griffith waved them
aside and waited to see what would
show up on the film.
The result brought forth an ava
lanche from the press about the aero
batic ability of Doug" Fairbanks and
before long all his stories were being
written with new and more difficult
leaps.
The astonished public viewed long
series Of pictures including Double
Trouble" Manhattan Madness" 1.-THE
Good Bad Man." 1.-THE Half Breed" TN
Again Out Again." "Wild and Woody"
''Man From Painted Post" and among
others, a screen version Of his old
stage play, HE Comes Up Smiling"
by this time,' Doug said, "a long
nourished desire to do other things
beside leap and smile started the urge
to produce my own pictures. What
ever success I may have gained in this
direction is most apparent in such pro-
duction as The Mark of Zorro The

REVIEW LESSONS
By ANGELO PATRl

LIVERY so often it is necessary for
II pupil to go over the points he
has learned. He repeats his rules,
brushes up his tables, does the prob
lens once more. This is an essential
step in his learning. 1t makes for
thoroughness, for one thing. Our
minds often trick us. We think we
know fact very well. 1t has pleas
ant familiar feeling as we remember
it in passing. "Oh, | know that" says
the child, and goes on. The wise. teach
er doesn't stop with that. She says,
Good Tell me all about it." Oftener
than not the pupil is dismayed to find
that this thing he knew so well slips
from his grasp when he tries to lay
hold of it. He hesitates, stammers
and fidgets and finally says, u knew
that just as well as my own name and
I couldn't say it."
He didn't know it as well as he knew
his own name. His name has been
part of himself. The fact that slipped
into the haze when he tried to hold
it had not been used often enough, had
not been knitted into the fabric Of his
thought. TO make an idea part of
ones thinking one must work it, knead
it into his mind by repetition and use.
Repetition alone will not help a
child to knowledge. 1t is not enough
to repeat words, accurate though they
may be. That is only one form OF an
idea, it's thinnest. most elusive and de-
ceptive form. To grasp it's values and
make them useful to our thinking we
have. to know the idea in many forms
in action, in association with other
things
A child learns that river is a
stream of water running down hill to
ward the sea. Suppose he never saw
the boats carrying their loads up and
down its course. never saw the farms
turn green and bear their harvests be-
cause of its beneficent watering. never
noted the difference its drainage meant
to the nearby uplands-how much does
he know about a river? We begin
with the word but the word must be
clothed and made manifest before a
child knows much about it.
When you are trying to help child
review a subject, instead of hammer
ing on the set word. try to get new
view of it by helping the child to find
new associations for it.
A review ought to be the old idea
with some additional sidelignts. If the
pupil is not interested in the idea the
review won't help him at all and the
way to interest him is to call up other
ideas in support of the original fact.

GLOVES TO MATCH
COSTUME FOR FALL

Your gloves will match your cos
tune this fall in fabric as well as
color.
If you are stepping out in a new
black satin afternoon gown, you'll
want black satin. gloves to go with it.
And you'll be able to find them, in
satin jersey fabric that fits like the
good old chamoisette, and has sur
face as sleek and shiny as your gown.
Or, if you have brown wool knitted
suit, you may wear brown knit gloves,
in smooth ribbed knit fabric, not
bulky, but smooth fitting and neat.
And so on.
The good old silk jersey glove is
back again with bang, and you'll
find it in all the newest shades of fall
gray, eel-brown, navy, and black.
Then chamoisette, the grand old
standby, is presented in new colors
and perforated styles, for wear with
fall clothes.

The American Woman

1t is too bad our American men do
not fully appreciate the beauty of
their women. Thus it remained for
a South American to say the "Amer-
lean woman is the supreme feminine
expression of our time"
Those are the words of none other
than the noted Argentine painter,
Cesareo Bernaldo de Quiros. The
artist also noticed the practical side
of our ladies, for he said: II was
surprised on my arrival in New York
to see the manner in which women
who once had everything are accept
ing changed material conditions with
practically no change in their brave
and gay enjoyment of life. How do
you Americans say it? She has the
stuff" -Pathfinder Magazine.

There are some rainy Saturdays in

Getting wetting is not going to
hurt a healthy child. They are as wa
terproof as young ducks, provided they
are in good health and their clothes
are fit. There is beauty in a rainy
day. The soft gray that wells the
world enchants it. The everyday
things take on an air of mystery. The
smells and the feels of a rainy day
are welcome variety in the children's
experiences. 1t would be pity to de-
prive them of the delights that the
rains bring.
The drip of the rain from the trees,
the echoing voices, the soft thud of
footsteps on fallen leaves, the smell of
earth that lies open to the meat and
drink that the season is offering, the
colors and the atmosphere of all our
days offer something precious and last
ing to the children who can enjoy
them.

Shirtmaker Frocks Are
Startlingly Picturesque

Now that the hinterlands also
have made the poignant discovery
that a wardrobe not filed with shirt
maker frocks is menace, the New
York makers are running riot with
ideas on the subject.
During the Palm Beach season, one
bought tony little tub silk in shirt
maker style and called it day, but
now folks are riding high, wide and

Tattersall checks, gaudy jockey stripes
and tie silks that would startle an

The new autumn woolens are most
intriguing. Striped versions are par
ticularly stressed in the early show
ings. also diagonal tweeds in wooven
and knit versions. For the model pic
tured, the designer plays up the stripes
of mustard and dark brown tweedy
wooden to perfection. The high neck-
line is here considered and the capelet-
yoke gives the sprightly shoulder eff

many novel ways throughout recent

of brown velvet. The little draped
toque is of self-material, following up
a mode which has been in evidence

Tops of Shoes for Fall

There are rumors that manufactur-

to think that some day spats will come
back. Day clothes are long enough

PARIS. September 2.-Georees Lev
gues, former premier and foreign min
lister Of France and minister of marine
in the present government, died this
noon. He had been i'll the last few
weeks.
His death leaves a vacancy in the
Deladier cabinet, the first among the
full-rank ministers since it was formed.
1t is know that Premier Daladier has
been considering the possibility of re-
forming his ministry in time for the
Autumn session of Parliament, and po-
itical circles saw in the death of M.
Leygues an opportunity for that recon-
struction.
M. Leygues would have been IS years
old IN November. He entered Parlia-
ment in 1885, and ever since he repre-
sented his native Department of Lot-et-
Garonne in the Chamber
He first attained cabinet rank in
1894, assuming the portfolio of public
instruction and fine arts in the Dupuy
ministry. From the Autumn of 1920
until January, 1921, he was premier,
giving way to the late Aristide BRAND.
Known as "the grand old man" of
the government, M. Leygues was an un-

quate for the home defense of France
and for the protection of her far-f1ung
possessions overseas. At the London
