It was a mad pageant, with ig-
norance as the director and the devil
as the prompter.
OF course, there were some wise
heads in the picture colony. They
did not Join the mad parade but lived
as they always had lived and put their
money into California real estate and
Government bonds.
Players Different Today.
Most of those individuals survived
the transition from silent pictures to
sound, but those who did not were
comfortably fixed and went into re-
tirement with nothing to worry them
for the rest Of their lives.
But the picture player of today is
Of an entirely different kind. The
great majority are from the stage.
They have had both ups and downs.
They know that in most cases the
screen life Of a star is approximately
seven years. They know that when
they reach the top there is only one
place they can step and that is of.
They are people Of education and
stability.
Plunging Declines.
So, today, we find the screen play
ers living in modest homes such as
any prosperous business man might
occupy. They drive inexpensive cars
for town use, and in some instances,
Of course, have a fine car for special
occasions.
You can follow the players to the
betting windows at Santa Anita and
find them putting down bets of from
50 to $40, instead of the wild plung-
ing that they did formerly.
A great majority Of the players
are buying ranches, income property,
annuities and gilt-edge securities that
will provide for their old age. Joel
McCrea, John Cromwell, Zasu Pitts,
Francis Lederer and score of others,
including myself, have ranches that
already are beginning to return an
income.
Parties Smaller.
The screen colony's members live
less wildly than do the wealthy people
who surround them. They take their
recreation at the beach and in the
mountains. Their parties are, with
few exceptions, sQall, intimate ones
such as any family with q moderate
income could stage.
And Hollywood is being still more
provincial. The stars are having fam
lilies. as last years records prove. In
many instances they are adopting

In this one the headers have

ways and their branches which pass
through a particular State. The puz-
zle now is to allocate, or throw, prop
erly, the town cards to show how
they are serviced by railway connec-
tions. County cards are thrown the
same way. Since some counties and
towns have as high as 20 possible
rail connections, the task looms larger
here.
Some time in his career, II he last

Drop into the Washington City
Post Office. Go downstairs to the
fatal examination room in the base
ment, and watch one Of the candi-
dates.
In front of his chair is a shallow,
hox-like arrangement of pigeon holes
fixed to an easel The examiner
hands the candidate first batch of
SO small cards called headers" On
each header is printed the name of
one of the counties in the particular
State he is to be tested Gu. Next.
the candidate gets another batch of
$50 cards. On these are printed the
names of as many towns, big and
little, as are in that State.
At the beginning the candidate
places his county headers in the holes
in any order he sees fit. Next he
must put the town" cards in their
proper county" This is called
throwing the cards" Evidently this
candidate thought the exam was a
cinch; he finished with an error of
but two cards misthrown, at the rate
of 43 allocated in their proper slots
each minute!
On another test he handles I'll

by this and so can the Senators,

At any rate, these youngsters
from northeast hope to enjoy an"
other season as successful as that
of 1894. They see no reason why
they shouldn't, since the lineup
will be the same as last year with
two exceptions.
Two Additions
These two are Abner Mont
gomery, center fielder, and Brady
Washburn, pitcher. Their pres
ence is expected to make the team
even more powerful than in 1884.
Gale Lumpkin, Harry Nc
Carthy, and Albert Patton, are
the regular outfielders of the
Cubs. Bill Thompson, first base;
Ray Cole, second base; George
Strobel, shortstop; and Louis
Cooke. third base, comprise the
infield.
The catching department is
handled by william Zimmerman,
last years leading batsman. The
new addition, Brady Washburn,
will do a great deal of the pitch

OCTOBER ADDS
TO TRAFFIC ON
INDIANA ROADS
Football, Late Vacations
and Autumn Scenery
Cause More Travel.

Indiana highway traffic is in
variably increased each year during
October, it was pointed out today
by James D Adams, State Highway
Commission chairman.
The reasons are the large num-
Der Of football games scheduled dur
ing this month and the fact that a
great many persons are embarking
on late vacations. Mr.. Adams said
Many take advantage of October's
highly-cOlOred scenery by taking
more sightseeing trips than usual,
he added
Considerable mail is being received
daily at the highway commission Of
fee, according to Mr.. Adams, from
persons in other states and from In
diana residents, requesting informa-
ton concerning road conditions and
vacation facilities.
As a result of an extensive i'm
prOvcment program undertaken dur
ing the summer, state highways are
in excellent condition and ready to
meet the increased traffic Mr..
Adams said. In an effort to CO.
operate with motorists, construction
and improvement projects are be-
ing completed as soon as possible
and detOurS removed.

ScriDDS- Howard .JuOinr Aviator


7 WONDER how many of you
i have ever figured out what the
ultimate aims of mankind are in
this flying business what are
the final things he wants to with
his lately acquired wings.
We are outlying the birds, ma
lures own aircraft We can fly
faster, higher and farther True,
We are doing these things by brute
force-aS far as real aerodynamic
efficiency is concerned, the birds are
way ahead of our best efforts. Ma
ture has to be economical with her
power and hence uses certain tricks
that are not familiar to us.
Some time ago a Labrador duck
was captured and metal tag was
fastened to its leg 1t was then re-
leased-and in an unbelievably
short time was caught in Cape
Town, Africa. Our aeronautical eX-
pertS calculated that such per-
Torrance, taking into consideration
the wing power of duck and its
wing spread and the weight to be
carried, would have required the
duck to take off from Labrador with
about 80 gallons of gasoline on
board
From such a statement you can
see that nature gets a much higher
performance from her power and
wings. Well that's a thought
to keep in mind while we again
turn to man and his dreams Of fly
ing in the future
Curiosity is the corner stone OF
knowledge, and mans unfaltering
curiosity is the reason for our scien-
titic progress. What-Why-whe
how these are the important
thoughts in any language.
The world we live in and on is
within our reach-but what lies be-
yond, off through the blank cold
spaces that stretch for millions and
millions of miles, where it is always
night? But we won't know until a
/ greater discovery is made than the
mechanical or chemical inventions
of today.
