 Different in French
 The study of the girls progress into spoken language has been extremely interesting to these learned psychologists. For in- stance: psychologists have pretty definitely tabulated the order in which English speaking children learn to pronounce the vowel sounds. But the order in which the quints mastered these sounds was entirely different.
 The quints are learning French, rather than English, and the vowel sounds are different in French.
 But the quints developed their control over corSonants in th,, same order that English-speaking children do. Consonants are much the same in all languages-which indicates, possibly, that a child develops consonants in the order of their difficulty, not in the order of their use.
 Another, along the same line:

Hollywood has recently discovered that Hollywood is good story sub- ject. So, with the ingeniousness peculiar to the movie industry, it has given the public another crack ling movie story close on the heels of "A Star Is Born" The new one, called "It Happened in Hollywood" and produced by Columbia, is quite well able to stand on Its own feet, thank you, as crisp, dramatic document of studio life, filled with the laughter, romance, and occa- sional pathos that is Hollywood.
 An appreciative audience at the Warner State theater, where Tt Happened in Hollywood" opened yesterday, saw Richard Dix and Fay Wray, enacting the roles of two stars of silent Western films, give performances of a distinctly high calibre. Dix and Miss Wray both deserve plaudits for their work in this film.
 An unusual aspect of the picture is the fact that it presents the dou- bleB of most of Hollywood's more famous stars. There are take-offs on W. O. Fields, Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Joan Crawford and others. The sequences in which they appear are especially amusing.
 In roles supporting Dix and Miss Wrsy are Victor Kilian, Franklin Pangborn, Billy Burrud and others who do fine acting jobs. See Tt Happened in Hollywood"-it's novel stroy excitingly done.
 The companion feature is Life Begins With Love-" a romantci love story with Jean Parker, Douglas Montgomery, Edith Fellows, Lums- den Hare and other local favorites.

 My troupe and I had gone out into the SanFernando valley on location. Previously I had worked for D. w. Griffith in the drawing room of the old Cunard residence on l4th Street in New York City, which ID. w. had converted into studio but left the pink cupids on the ceiling) But here it was 1913 and my competition was Broncho Billy Anderson, Wallace Reid, and Tom Mix, who were making two-reelers almost as fast as you could fire a six-gun.
 On arrival at my location, which I had picked out the previous night, I found that frame building had magically appeared on the site. I saw another troupe short distance away and sent messenger over to tell them to get off the property. The director of the other troupe sent my messenger back with ir- structions for me to go hang. I was in no mood to take any lip from upstarts, so went over and braced the fellow.
 When he saw that I was wom- an he was, of course, very apolo- getic. He explained that he was

 All of the girls can say "Yvonne" without trouble. They have way of turning R into w, which makes Marie, 'Mawie." " Annette becomes "Nannette," and Cecile becomes "Teeteele." And Emile is 'Meelie." .-. .. Can't Quite Say It
 The benevolent shadow of pr. Allan Roy Dafoe, the quints' physician, protector and best friend, falls across their early language experiences as 1t does across everything else connected with them. Here is a sample:
 The ordinary child, learning to talk in English, acquires these words first - Mama, Dada, Papa and Baby. The quints, starting out in French, got these words first-Papa, Maman, Tantan, (for Auntie: the nursery cook is their aunt) tit-tot, (for tick-tock: clock) and docteur. Only they don't quite say Docteur; it's more like "Dotteur. .t

 DeMille said he would retire and let me shoot, but that he would not take down his building. He added that if there were any attempts by my crew to tear it down there would be some shooting around there that would not be done with cameras.
 That was our first fight, and we parted after some additional heated words.
 "Art' Costs 8 Job
 The next time we met, I came calling on "C. B." Broncho Billy and Wallace Reid had become so expert they were turning out their two- reelers in four days. I was holding out for "art" and taking ten.

 I knew that he was just trying to put me in my place, and burned. I told him that I wanted a job as an actress and director. MT. DeMille did not exactly snap me up eagerly. Tn fact, he said he had enough actresses around there and one director, himself, which was all he could stand. He also told me should do something that I could do at 90 as well as 19-my age at the time, believe 1t or not.
 He said should get into writing, as there was going to be a great need for writers who knew screen technic and could do genuine dram atic continuity. instead of the Ion the cuff" claptrap we had been shooting.

 It's been a privilege to work with a man of his integrity and acumen. I think he's genius; I think any man would have to be a genius to have made so many hits and stayed at the top so long.
 I look back on a golden pageant of pictures he let me write with him, "The Ten Commandments" "The King of Kings" "The Sign of the Cross" Cleopatra" "The Cru sades," "The Plainsman," "The Buc- cancer" and many that I'm omit ting. And I thank him for an ac. complishment I might not have known without a DeMille to work for.

like all children, the quints were mouthing single syllables, most of them meaningless to anybody but a quintuplet, long before they were putting them together into words. And their increase in the mastery of syllables began about 10 months before they stepped up their increase in the use of words.
 This, to Dr. Blatz, suggests that the mere joining together of syll- ables is not the mechanism by which words are formed. Mean- ings must be added. The child

The third chapter of Titus, our

that except for Gods grace we who

is only a slave in bondage to and

result in mans becoming hateful
to his felloWmen. They in turn are
hateful to him, and so he hates
them. Thus the whole world be-

There is very wise saying that
goes: Thinking well is wise; plan
ming well, wiser; doing well, wisest
and best of all
How very intelligent and wise
everyone woull be if he took heed
of this quotation.
There is no better place nor time
than in our every day school life
to put this into practice.
Everyone has to think and con-
centrate to get anything done at all
in school, but too few of us think
enough. We think just enough to
get by" No more or less. We
take the attitude of why work any
harder than it is necessary?
We study when we find time and
usually do not let it interfere with
anything else. So few of us plan
a well organized schedule. We do
our various duties when it is con-
venient and find that we have no
time left to get other things done
in our irregular plan.
Doing well is wisest and best.
We are doing something all the
time. But such a little of the time
it is our best. We waste so much
valuable time by doing unnecessary
and useless work.
If each individual in Libby High
School would think we'll, plan we'll,
and do well, what school we
would have. We would gain so
much and lose nothing

usually derived from post gradu-
ate course is sufficient TO warrant

When post graduate does choose

that he be required to take a full

must do and to make deposit fee

and cannot afford to go away to
