Your Health

THE argument to whether exercise is beneficial

be less likely to become fatigued than one who is
not IN training.
There is a general belief that the hardy noun

In the darkness, the earth will grow smaller and

Soon you will feel the magnitude of that vast
ocean in which each twinklng star is really great

Sooner or later in any contemplation of the
heavens the question of life in the universe arises
Are there out in that vast of space; creatures
like ourselves inhabiting globes like own earth2
Is there any life Venus or Mars or the other
planets of our solar system? Are any Of those dis
tant stars surrounded with planets like our own
sun? These are the questions which arise. There
are no positive answers yet.
For life know it, We may quickly rule out
all the planets but Venus and Mars. Mercury is too
hot and without atmosphere. The others are too
cold and have atmosphere containing such gases as
ammonia and methane gases which would not per-
nit life as know it.
OVER the individuality of Venus and Mars there
" is sharp division of opinion One group thinks
the chances Of life on Mars pretty good but the
recent work of DR.. Walter S. Adams at Mt Wilson
indicates that Mars has only about one-tenth of
per cent as much oxygen over each unit of surface
does the earth. His work also indicates that the
amount Of water vapor slight and that night
temperatures on Mars average about 40 below zero.

forward with word of caution. Nature is prodigal

Theatrical World
Ruth ChGttertOn Shines
in Journal of o. Crime
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

NOBODY will be able to say
~ that Ruth Chatterton is
cute" in her latest movie.
In journal of a Crime" Miss
Chatterton no only kills her hus-
bands mistress, but lives to suffer
the agony of a guilty conscience.
1t is high-powered drama, mixed
up with a lot of good melodrama.
Don't confuse journal of a
Crime" with the mine-run MUIR
der mysteries.
This one is as different from the
murder stories as night is from
day. There is no mystery about
who the murderer is.
The spectator knows who muir
ders the woman as he watches
the husband find his wife's re-
volver in bucket on the theater
stage where the murder was COM
mitted.
Only two people in the cast
know who is guilty. They are the
killer and her husband.
In dramatic scene the hus-
band refuses to surrender his wife
to the authorities, but decides to
live in the same house with her
and watch her break as she
struggles to keep her crime secret.
This is made more interesting
because a man. known to police
as a killer and who is wanted for
the murder Of bank clerk, was in
the theater and possessed re-
volver at the time the actress was
murdered.
He is charged with both crimes
the one he was guilty of and the
other for which he was innocent.
Even when Miss Chatterton visit
ed the killer in his cell, he goes
noble" and refuses to share his
murder record with her.
The story then takes a strange
turn. For months and months
the terrible secret that she was
carrying with her was bringing
her to the point of confession.
Her husband calmly looked on
and recorded his observations in
a diary which he called a journal
of crime.
Miss Chatterton is one of the
few women on the screen who
can register mental grief with
telling effect. She is the best in
the business at that sort of
thing.
AS the wife. Miss Chatterton
gives a performance that estab-
fishes her firmly as one of the
three best leading dramatic
actresses on the talking screen.
Adolphe Menjou as the husband
of Miss Chatterton gives re-
strained but effective perform
ance. Splendid work.
The test of the acting of Miss
Chatterton's is that one actually
feels sorry for her because she
puts her deed on such a high
plane-she just would not let her
perfectly good husband divorce
her and marry his mistress.

deep in intrigue and politics.
Miserable suicides were seized
and bitten by fierce dogs.
Were Dante's catalog of sin and
punishment a true one those
ruthless individuals who have de-
frauded people of their savings
would, at their death, be subject
to the dire vengeance of the ninth
circle. At the pit of hell, traitors
were frozen alive in the ice. Dante
was eXiled from his city by men
whom he considered traitors; SO
it probably was a bit of neat
satisfaction to the poet to con-
sign his enemies to a sad end by
a few strokes of the pen.
T UCIFER, the arch traitor, is a
IL giant not unlike those of
Morse mythology. Over his frozen
form Dante and his guide crawl
down to the center of the earth
and up to the base of Mount
Purgatory. Almost every one ex-
cept a few saints must travel
through purgatory to wipe out
earthly sins.
Those who pass through pur-
gatory are bathed in the River
Lethe (forgetfulness) to wipe out
the memory of the terrific torture
by which they purified themselves.
Thus persons who reached terres-
tial paradise could look down
upon the misery in hell with no
feeling of remorse or compassion.
Justice is higher than love" is
emphasized throughout 1.-THE Di-
vine Comedy"
Dante prophesied the end of the
world. On that occasion Christ
would sit in judgment on the
world. Earth and terrestrial para
disc would be destroyed Those
who were pure would enter into
heavenly paradise, mystic union
of souls. The heavenly paradise
is an idea that Dante borrowed
from the deeply philosophical ORR
ent and corresponds to Nirvana,
a nebulous place so clesnsed of
worldly things that it is almost
complete nothingness.
Dante is a composite of many
ideas current in his time. Aris-
totle, the profound Greek thinker
who might be said to have Gre
ated philosophic thought in the
western world, contributed his
three divisions of sin to 1.-THE
Divine Comedy"
