David BelaseO production which was
her first play on Broadway.
From Belasc0's management, she
went into motion pictures, but let her
tell the story In her own words at
this point.
You see,n she said, II did not think
much OF the movies at that time. In
considered 1t disgrace to work In
pictures. But my mother had asked
me to go to the Biograph studio on
Fourteenth street and try to see MIR.
Griffith. Although demurred, sha
Insisted. and OF course, could not
disobey. But / took the precautlon
to route my trip SO that could make
five cents do the work OF 10. Those
were times when five cents was al
ways doing the work Of ten.
"Instead of taking street car from
where we lived to Fourteenth street,
walked the ten blocks, took the car
on Fourteenth and asked for trans
fer. The old Biograph studio was on
Fourteenth street between Broadway
and Fifth avenue. Thus, when / had
satisfied mother By dropping In at the
studio, / could walk back to Broad
way and use my transfer to ride to
the Times square and the theatrical
district where the booking Offices were
| located.
II felt certain that In the end 1t
would be necessary to visit the booking
Offices to obtain another theatrical en-
gagement, which at that moment need
ed very badly. Imagine my surprise
| then when I was ushered Into the au-
gust presence OF Mr.. Griffith who, after
a short talk, gave me my first motion
| picture engagement"
From such simple beginning,
new figure In world history was born.
| Even today few people realize how
| far into the distant corners Of the
earth our Mary's popularity has
reached Her mail brings letters in
nearly every language. Furthermore,
Miss plckford Ia the only woman In
motion pictures who Is socially hons
ored by the real royalties OF Europe.
When she travels people at every sta
ton crowd the platform for glimpse
of her. And with all this she Is
charming. wistful young woman, hap
| by In the love OF devoted husband.
Still there are many simple pleasures
which she has had to do without, pleas
ures which her less famous nelghbors
accept as matter OF course.
You may wonder from this Ii she
Is happy with her lot. The answer Ia
| yes. But even the reason for her be-
Ing happy In spite Of missing things
which other people enjoy, Is In itself
| a simple thing. Her work makes others
| happy. Therein lies her compensation.
She has learned that service to 9TH

The Idle question betrayed how little
understanding she had of the fierce
ambition which had whipped him
along for years. To be as brilliantly
successful as his father had been; to
command his mothers respect, her adj
miration; to stand at last on an even
footing with her who had been the
Idol of his boys heart This had
been the goal toward which he had
been working through long months
and years of study.
And now that he was within sight
of that goal, now that he had met
his mother as an adult instead OF a
child, he asked himself uneaslly II 1t
had been worth while after all. His
clear young eyes saw her now as she
was a woman suddenly deprived OF
all that had made life worth while to
her, getting through the rest of her
days as best she could, having an ar
fectlonate interest In her son but never
rising to those heights OF companion

had dreamed so long.

Carys' yard. There was little girl
In there, he saw, jumping rope. She
had heavy dark hair cut In an Egyp-

heart-shaped face. and long thin arms
and legs. She wore handsome linen
frock which was none too clean,
pair OF blue silk socks and patent
leather slippers. Her bare knees were
scratched and grimy.
As Geoff laid his hand on the gate
she came toward him, still jumping.
Hello u he said ith-his friendly

LIMIT ON utility
APPEALS IS SOUGHT
Commission to Press Bill to
Strengthen Power on Rates
and Valuations.

Congress will be asked by the Public
Utilities Commission to enact at the
present session q measure designed to
limit the jurisdiction of the local courts,
in cases Of appeals from orders of the
commission, to questions of law, 1t was
announced today by Maj Gen. Mason
NJ Patrick, chairman.
This Is q move to strengthen greatly
the power Of the utilities commission
in its regulations OF rates and yalua-
tons Of the local utility companies. As
the law now stands, officials explained,
when q utility company contests an Or
der Of the commission as to valuation,
rates or other questions Of regulation,
the courts may and do review the facts
as we'll as decide questions Of law, and
in some cases have taken new evidences
and made new findings of facts.
The general purpose of the proposed
legislation, Gen. Patrick said, would be
to avoid possible review of the entire
facts in utilities case by the courts, in
cases where the findings Of the Utilities
Commission are supported by substan-
tial evidence.
The commission has directed its
counsel, William A. Roberts, special
assistant corporation counsel, to prepare
draft of the proposed law. The
commission expects to forward 1t to
Congress in the next few days.
A similar measure was introduced in
Congress two sessions ago by Senator
Capper of Kansas at the request of
the commission. At that time, vigorous
opposition to the proposal developed
both in the Senate Committee and on
the floor Of the Senate, and the bill
failed of passage.
Riley E. Elgen, vice chairman Of the
commission, however. reported today
that Representative Loring Black of
New York had expressed an interest
in the subject.

FOUR ESCAPE PRISON
ON IMPROVISED ROPE

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, April Sliding 80
feet to the ground from the roof Of
Western Penitentiary on an improvised
rope, John Maug, leader OF the
notorious "Maug gang" and three
other convicts broke jail early today.
They have not been apprehended.
Edward Turpack, 26, Maug gang
member; Fred Prince, known to police
as the "pock-marked bandit" and
Theodore Joseph Geisler, all under
heavy sentences, escaped with Maug.
The break was discovered at $50 Am
probably was made under cover of
darkness earlier in the night.
The rope used was described @ hav-
ing the consistency Of ordinary clothes
line. Three strands were wound to-
gether and wrapped In electricians
tape, fastened to the roof.
Maug and Turpack both are under
sentence Of from so to 120 years for
murder and highway robbery.
Prince was serving from Is to 30
years for highway robbery. He escaped
from police in Columbus, Ohio, In 1919,
but the automobile theft charge against
him there was dropped for lack Of
witnesses.
Geisler was serving 20 to 40 years
for robbery.
Pittsburgh police telephoned to Cleve-
land, as Maug and his confederates are
known to have had former hang-outs
in that city.
Rewards Of $50. on each Of the four
escaped convicts were announced BY
Western Penitentiary authorities short
ly after the escape.
Detective Inspector Frank M. Boyd
said he did not expect the gang MEM
bers to surrender without fight or
gunplay If friends furnished firearms.
THE gang is smart, and doubt that
any member would hesitate to Shoot"
he said. II do not believe they sought
cover in the city, but headed out Of
town through aid from outside ~
committees"

GOVERNMENTAL WASTE

In an interview by the late Senator
Underwood of Alabama, for release after
his death, that able statesman commented
on the governments wasteful methods DUR
ing the World War, Of which its shipbuild-
ing program was a striking example. Of
this he said:
"The government decided to build its
own ships, believing that the price of $50
ton offered by the United Steel Corpora
ton was too high.
"Well, we had first to build wards,
towns, plumbing, lighting, pavements, all
living eonveniences for thousands of en-
ployees.
"AH last we got to the actual building
of ships. When we got through the
ships had cost us, not $50 but from $3.50
to $500 ton"
This indictment of government opera
ton of industrial plants was made it should
be remembered, by Democrat, who Loyalty
supported President Wilson during the
war. in spite of the tragic waste of time
and money which Senator Underwood was
powerless to prevent.
The lesson to be drawn from this is:
If you want something done in the slow
est and most expensive way, let some poll
ticaI agency do it. If you want it done
quickly and economically, leave it to pri-
vate initiative and private enterprise.

BUY NOW

Thrift is commendable; everyone who
can should save something. But while.
extravagant spending is harmful, too much
boarding is equally detrimental, according
to leading economists.
For a long time there has been an ull-
usual percentage of unemployed in this
country, as in the rest of the w ID. This
has decreased the total buying power of
the public. But the Tightening of purse
strings by those who are still employed
and are able to buy has reonced consump-
ton to an even greater extent.
What is needed right now in order to
aid in restoring normal conditions is more
liberal spending on the part of those who
have money to spend for the filings they
can really use and need.
1t has been pointed out that the adj
ditional spending of ten cents a day by
every one of the 100 million people in the
United States would increase the nations
business t. the extent of more than four
billion dollars year. Of course, the UNI
employed can not spend this extra ten cents
day, but millions of people could easily
spend an additional dollar or more day
to good advantage and hardly miss it.
1t is sound advice, then, to say to those
who can afford it: BUY what you need
while prices are low; employ little extra
labor that you can use to advantage; stop
boarding and put more money into circula-
ton
By following this advice the more for
tunate elements of our citizenship may do
much to accelerate the return of general
prosperity.
