Plenty of Water, Salt,
Life-Saver for Horses

Sudden hot weather, intense and
continued for days, usually brings
reports of horses being lost from
over-heating. This is unnecessary.
Good horsemen do not lose horses,
no matter how hot the weather
may be.
The Horse and Mule Association
of America advises taking cou-
pie of barrels of water, on a wagon
or stoneboat, to the field, and al
lowing the horses opportunity to
drink at the end of each hour. If
this is done, and the animals are
allowed access to all the salt they
want in stables, or in pastures
when turned out at night. heat
losses will not occur.
The same plan-plenty of water
and all the salt they want-allowed
to men who work about coke ovens,
where the temperature is about 1876
degrees, has stopped heat prostra-
tons among men. 1t works, with
men or with horses, and is so sim
pie, so easily adopted, that there
is no excuse for losing horses from
overheating. no matter how hot the
weather is.
Common sense in working ami
mails, water every hour and all the
salt the animals want, is all good
horsemen use in handling their
work animals in hot weather. 1t
will save work stock from heat
prostrations.

Playing Cards as Cash

A fortune on a card had unique
meaning for early residents of the
historic French Canadian city of
Montreal. In the latter part of the
Eighteenth century real money was
so scarce that playing cards were
used as commercial tender, the sig
natures of three administrators of
the French colony being inscribed
on the back to make such money"
legal. The playing card money, to-
gether with land transfer written
on the back of a jack of hearts, is
among the exhibits in the McCord
National Museum of McGill univer,
sity.

Copper Indestructible

Copper comes from a thousand
sources and goes back into use in
as many and varied ways. Though
copper is virtually indestructible
and seemingly could refux to bal
ance with consumption, this is not
the case. Home scrap eventually
equals all consumption because it
goes back into use, but there are
losses from wear and through the
dissipation of small objects. Sup
ply is, of course, controlled by the
obsolescence rate of copper prod
ucts and this may or may not bal
ance with consumption at any given
moment.

Foot Rot in Sheep

Foot rot in sheep is a chronic
infectious disease of the tissues of
the foot, and remains more or less
localized to that area. The eco
nomic Importance of foot rot lies
in the severe losses which. the own
er sustains from long period of
inactivity of the infected animals
from the loss of body weight, from
decreased wool clip, from the di-
minished milk production at lamb
ing time, and finally from the prob
able infection of the newborn and

ing is at least equal, if not superior,
to her own.
It must, in fact, be a union based
on mental qualities quite as much
as on affection. The domineering
brilliance of Mauritz Stiller the fire
of John Gilbert, the simplicity of
SorenSen, and, to sum up, the high
minded, awe-inspiring aloofneSs of
Carl Gustafson-all these qualities
and the tender affection for which

the time. Because her steward
divulged the fact that she ordered
no meat, all the newspapers came
out with stories about her being a
vegetarian.
She expected to stay in Sweden
till late in the fall of 1896. The
usual rumors were being bruited
about her. 1t was said she arranged
to settle in Sweden for the rest of

Some people marry in haste and
repent at leisure. Dorothy Lee isn't
allowing any grass widoWers to
grow under her feet, though. At
Is she has just acquired fourth
husband, the wealthy A. G. Cox Of
Grown Point, In1.
On the other hand, there's the
mature elaboration of Patricia Ov-
erman and Jerry Meacham, whose
wedding has just eliminated the
only formal three-year engagement
of which the film colony has ever
heard.
Somewhat different are the i'm
pending nuptials of Charlie Chap
lin and Paulette Goddard, who,
though not admittedly betrothed,
have been inseparable companions
for four years.
Secrecy Is Puzzling
Such secrecy is a little puzzling,
as in the case of Douglas Fair
banks. Nobody knows what he
gained by concealing his intent to
marry Lady Ashley and thereby al
lowing the loose-tongues to re-ink
his name with Mary Pickford.
Young, matinee-idolish Robert
Taylor told me that he'd announce
an engagement if he were engaged
but that if he were actually to
marry he'd keep it a secret. Which
seems to be bit of pretty fine dis
elimination in gauging fan opinion
And it raises a couple of ques-
tons: Do fans care whether a star
is married; and, if they did care,
would they be more resentful when
they found out they'd been de-
ceived?
Ballyhoo Not Bad Omen
A ballyhoo marriage is likely to
turn out as successfully as any.
When Rod LaRocque was a top
notch star and Wilma Banky was an
unknown from Hungary, they fell
in love. Both were under contract
to Samuel Goldwyn, and he recog-
nized a chance for great pub
licity stunt.
The wedding was heralded six
weeks in advance by an expenditure
OF something like $4,000.
Most of Hollywood attended the
super-spectacle and Goldwyn him
self gave away the bride.
That marriage is doing very we'll
indeed. The LaRocques celebrated
their tenth anniversary the other
day.

the duty which had drawn her to
Sweden, spent Christmas Eve in
strictest privacy with her mother.
Only one person seemed to enjoy
her complete confidence. That was
Max Gumpel, whom she had met
at the Dramatic School, long be-
fore Greta had ever dreamed of 60
ing to America. He fell deeply in
love with her, and would have mar
ried her if she had been so in
clined.
But Greta went to America and
Max married some one else and his
wife bore him five children. He
gave her a tasteful and comfort
able home. But somehow love flew
out at the window when Greta's
name became a household word.
Eventually, with Greta's return to
Stockholm imminent, the wife took
a decisive step, secured a divorce
and carried off the youngest child
with her, leaving Max to look after
the rest. 1t was all very sad and
lneXpllCdDle.
TUST exactly how Max and Greta
u came together again no one quite
knew. But to his motherless home
the proud Max brought the lady of
his dreams; and Greta, shedding all
shyness, spent many happy a hour
playing unreservedly with his chill
dren.
Her interest in children was a new
phase in Greta's complex charac-
ter. She seemed to find in their
simple directneSs a refreshing relief
from the finessing subtlety of her
fellow adults.
Greta makes no secret of the fact
that she hopes one day to possess a
home of her own. The house of
her dreams has often been a sub
ject of discussion in the privileged
circle admitted to her intimate con-
fidence.
Will Greta ever marry? That is
a question very often on the lips of
her admirers. Personally, feel that
if once she could meet a man with
the patient tenderness of a lover
and the ennobling authority of a
father rolled into one, she would
find happiness.

No one who has had the privilege
of seeing Greta face to face can
deny that she is extremely beauti-
full.
Even. when her hair is quite
straight Gas it is by nature) even
when she emerges with it all wet
from her bath; even when she
strains it severely back, as she often
does in the privacy of her home,
or screws it up under a bathing
cap, she is still a beautiful woman.
The chiselled regularity of her fea-
lures seems 20 overcome every effort
to make her look plain.
Her eyes are more striking for
their expression than for their size
or color. Her sweeping lashes are
unique. Her friends know only one
person who has eyelashes to equal
ners in beauty, and that is her bro
Their, Sven.
She has a rather large, but soft
and sympathetic, mouth, while her
teeth are pearly white and regular.
1t is said that they were not always
SO small as they are now. Skilled
filing at an early stage in her screen
career made them more suitable for
film purposes. Similarly, her eye
brows were slightly plucked to in
crease the natural symmetry of
their high arches.
Greta is not so tall as she ap-
pears in the pictures; but her long
limbs, narrow hips and square
shoulders make her appear taller
than she is.
Her feet are not small, but very
slim. In her impoverished youth
she knew the agonies of thin shoes,
ill-fitting and leaky. Consequently,
nowadays, she values foot comfort
above everything, and will never.
for the sake of appearances, squeeze
her feet into frivolous little fem
mime shoes.
Gretas childhood ambition was to
oulld up in her own small person
reflection of Naima Wristbands
personality. She would practice
walking up and down the family
living room, speaking improvised
lines, deliberately pitching her voice
TO Naima'S tone, and initiating
Nalma's movements and gestures.
Greta still retains from Naima the
trlck OF lingering on certain vowel
SOUNDS. Her pronunciation of the
word love" for instance, is that
which Miss Wifstrand in her ac-
cented English habitually employed.

GRETA'S STRANGE IMPULs ST

GREIA'S STRANGE IMPUI, SES
TRETA'S nature is extremely
~ sensitive and responsive to
outside influences. She min1ics cas-
lily, and often quite unConsciously.
Inns is the reason why Mauritz Still
Ter found her such enhancing ma
terlal to work with. He could mold
her, with the sure touch of a born
producer, to his will.
With all her love of privacy and
solitude, she is not able to live
alone. She always must have a
companion. Her tendency to single
out individual persons as special ia
vorltes, and to lavish her company
upon them for long periods to the
almost complete exclusion of everv-
one else, has caused more gossip
than anything else about her.
Hence she remains a lonely soul, and
her friendships rarely seem to bring
her lasting satisfaction.
She finds comfort in inanimate
objects and pets. Her home-mak-
ing instincts have never vet found
expression. Yet she loves old fur
niture, oriental idols, good pictures,
German books, dancing by Swedish
artists, super acting, classical or
folk music. Everything Swedish
naturally appeals to her, and when
working in America, she simply
lives for those periods of holiday
which take her back to her native
land.
She is extremely attached to her
family. When in Sweden for holi-
days, she invariably devotes the an
nual festivals to her relatives. She
would not dream of spending
Christmas away from her mother.
