SOME ONE appears to be trying hard to write a defense for the Kaiser! THE JOLTS those who attend the Gipsy Smith meetings receive are almost as severe as those they receive in traveling the streets to the tabernacle. MEMBERS of the school board doubtless wonder if the right to disagree with the State board of accounts is reserved entirely for Leo K. Kesier! STRANGE, isn’t it, that the managers of Thomas C. Howe’s campaign overlooked so many of his supports when they formed that exclusive charter member list for his club! THE MAKERS of broom handles deny boosting prices. The rest of the material is blamed. The broom handle, next to the rolling pin, always did the mischief, whether there was any material on it or not. IT IS SAID Vice President Coolidge has a favorite cobbler, who is his friend, philosopher and guide. If one man is even one-third that to the Vice President, then grapple him with hoops of 6teel, for such is seldom found. The Little Things Little things in the aggregate soon amount to large Five thousand tons of tin are used for “tin foil” to wrap chocolate, cigarettes and merchandise, while four thousand tons are used to make collapsible tubes for dental creams, toilet creams and artist’s moist colors and such goods. The little paper-like wrappers will weigh ten million pounds at the end of the year, and require a hundred largest coal cars to move them, while the innocent tubes will be almost as heavy. It is almost the old story, in anew form, of making a ton of steel into screws for watches, or into needles. An Infinitely small product, comparatively, is the result, and these in the aggregate amount to a great deal. It Is the body of a dead insect that gradually builds the coral island, the little drops of water and the little grains of sand, etc., but why go farrier? The little interest to the bank, the small income tax, added to a thousand other little things make the large income. The one cent more on the street car ride and the thirty-cent raise in gas all count in the aggregate. What Does Hays Mean? The proposal of the Republican job hunters that President Wilson's order placing first, second and third class postofiices under civil service, be rescinded, is not receiving the unanimous approval of Republican Senators and Congressmen. It is stated that new members of Congress are the leaders in this raid on an efficient organization. Their anxiety for the recall of the order is due to their pre-election promises in the way of postmasterships. Unless the blanket is lifted and positions opened to thousands of their constituents throughout the United States, they feel that they may be brought into embarrassing situations. On the other hand,-figures prepared by the Postmaster General Department, show that out of over 2,100 appointments made to offices in these three classes during the last administration, practically 50 per cent of the appointments were Republicans, and from these and the Republican members who stood sponsor for them, is coming a vigorous opposition to the movement to cancel the order. With the placing of these classes of postofflees under the merit system, it was assumed that the spoils system would never again be applied to the Potofflce Department. The appointment because of merit alone, of the present incumbents has caused the standard of efficiency to he very appreciably raised. If the offices are again made the subjects of congressu - .al patronage, the old days of Inefficiency will return. One wonders if this is what Postmaster General Will Hays meant when he said that ho intended to “humanize’’ the department. International Necessity A report issued last week by the foreign trade financing corporation contains reliable information of a very interesting nature relating to our foreign trade. It shows that several million bales of cotton are stored at various points in the South, and surplus supplies of grain to the extent of several hundred million bushels are stored throughout the West, awaiting an European market that Ik very anxious to buy. The lack of adequate credit on the part of European buyers is the sole cause for the interruption in this foreign trade. The revived war finance corporation and the newly organized foreign trade financing corporation are two organizations that have for their object the financing of our foreign trade. The first is the government concern that successfully financed large export enterprises during the war, and the second is a private corporation organized under the Esch law, planned to work along similar lines to the government agency. It is expected that through the operation of these two corporations, such financing of foreign credit will take place, as will open up European markets for a large part of the cotton, wheat, wool and other raw products now being held In this country. If the efforts of these two agencies are successful, it win cause relief from the present condition or trade, but their work calls attention to the condition of credit or Europe. Every one knows the depreciation in exchange is entirely the result of the unsettled condition of Europe caused by the failure of the United States to join In and carry out the conditions of the Versailles treaty. No student of the times can fail to see that the refusal of Germany to meet the conditions of the reparations commission’s awards was based on her hope of a separate trade with the United States, as proposed by the Knox resolution. While there was nothing in President Harding's inaugural address directly referring to the matter, his positive statement In his campaign speeches that he would sign a resolution for separate peace as soon as it could he passed by a Republican Congress, gave such assurance that it would be done, as to justify the attitude Germany has assumed. There can be no settled trade relations with European countries until the Versailles treaty is fully complied with and the United States has become associated with the other nations of the world in some association similar to that of the League of Nations. _____________________________________ * V it amines It is now claimed and demonstration is assured by those who know, that anew element is discovered in our food—something not yet seen nor located with gun nor microscope. For want of a better name it is known as a vitamine. Human beings require not only fats and proteids, salts and other elements, but vitamines. No alarm need be felt, however, for this necessary part of human needs may be obtained at any lunch counter, and it is taken unconsciously, -without fear of an overdose. The United States Public Health Service says that nobody ever saw a vitamine but reminds the public that the same is true of electricity. ‘The absence or presence of the vitamine is demonstrated in the relative value of the food. That Government bureau also comes to the aid of the ordinary eaters who had so little suspected the necessity of these heretofore unknown valuable additions or component parts of food and says that cabbage is strong in vitamines. In addition the Government does not restrict the manner in which the cabbage may be served, so that the vitamines will not escape in the cook ing process. Boiled, fried or raw cabbage and kraut are most wholesome, in fact, since the presence of the vitamine is now established, though still unseen, cabbage is surely a delicacy, fit to serve as a most wholesome and essential refreshment. There are actually at least three kinds of vitamines instead of two as generally exist in the animal kingdom, a water soluble one, as found in milk, a fat one found in butter and the yolks of eggs and one found in fresh vegetables. The latter is called “antiscorbutic" and wa9 the first to be discovered. Vegetarians as well as others consume the vitamines at * verj meal in various number. )
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life
CHAPTER CLXVI. Hardly had Virginia departed, leaving me with the difficult commission of trying to persuade Phoebe to be a simple little girl again instead of a gay young society woman, when Jim phoned. “Anne!” he exclaimed, with an air of breathless hurry. “Will you stuff a few duds into a bag and send them down to the station by messenger. Cosby wants to chase across the river to meet a couple of the big fruit men from the coast. He asked me as a favor to come along. An Inspiration came to me then, and because of It I acquiesced so amiably that I could hear Jim gasp as he went on: “Cant be back until tomorrow. Do you mind being alone?” “Don't worry about me,” I answered. “I wouldn’t particularly mind being alone, but I think I'll ask Jeanle or Phoebe to come over and stay. “Ask 'em both. And take ’em to a show if you like. Call Drysen and get | decent seats while you’re about It. I’ll ring you up first thing when I get back. Tou’re a good sport, Anne. So long.” At once I executed Jim's commands. Then I called Virginia's apartment and asked for Phoebe, and when her voice came to me over the wire, plunged right Into the midst of my plan. “It's Anne, Phoebe. I'm homesick for you. It's months since we had a good talk. Are you ready for a reunion?” | "Os course.” replied Phoebe with ln- ! different politeness. “Jim's called out of town for the night,” I went on, trying to arouse her enthusiasm. “Why can’t you and I go to a show and then you come back here to protect me from ghosts and things?” “I’m sorry, Anne. I'd like to, but I have other plans. Shall I call sister. She may be a hie to come." “No. Virginia and I had a —little disI cusslon this afternoon.” That was intended to make Phoebe recollect the days when my “discussions” with Virginia 'hadn’t left us on speaking terms. Phoebe's reply showed that my plan was beginning to work. “Oh, I see. Well, 1 don't like to leave you alone. How would It be If I came to you after the party? No—wait; I've a real Idea. Will yon Join us?” I accepted promptly. This was even better than I had dared hope—lt would give me a chance to Rtudy at first hand the situation Pat had reported, and It might present an opportunity I could use to wean Phoebe away from Evvy and her whole dangerous group. When Sheldon'a car waa announced 1 hurried downstaira with a cocky feel- ; lng that the situation waa In my hands and that Phoebe was as good as ''saved.'' All through the dinner at a garish place called the Red and Black Club, Torn behaved with a quiet dignity pleaa-
KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS
(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Ilooper has evolved ami found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their heme life and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat of living with them.) MONDAY, FOURTH WEEK. The day had been a trying one for Mrs. Hooper. On no Monday morning for a long time had she found that so many little things had gone wrong during the week. And there were matters of more serious Import as well that seemed to present themselves regularly to upset the even tenor of the household. She had called to a plumber to mend a leak under the kitchen sink and his inspection in that spot and several other places In the basement Indicated that a considerable bit of work would have to he done on the pipes to prevent more leakage In the future and. as Mrs. Hooper realized that the health of her family depended on the sanitary condition of the house she always kapt a watchful eye on the plumbing. The electric hell battery had also given out. but fortunately this was a Job which Roger could take care of ao that the expense of that bit of repairing would be reduced to a minimum. The family underclothing had shown a deplorable state of "all goneness" when she had prepared It for the wash, but she also knew that these winter garments could be made to last until the middle of April If one more round of mending and re-enforcing were given them. From the butcher's she planned to buy for the week, one pound of chopped real, six lamb kidneys, one pound of salt pork, one pound of bacon and a leg of mutton with a sufficient number of chops for dinner on Saturday. For her dairy supplies she would need two pounds of butter, one pound of oleo, one dozen fresh eggs and two dozen cold storage eggs, as well as the three quarts of milk a day which she always used. Her pantry shelf also needed replenishing to the extent of cornmeal, coffee, salt, ginger and flour. HOROSCOPE “The stars Incline, but do not compell” TUESDAY, MARCH 28. They who would make the most of this day should begin their work early, for, according to astrology, Venus, Neptune and Jupiter are all helpful In the morning. Saturn and Mars are adverse in the later hours. Women should profit by the sway and should perform all difficult tasks before noon. This means that business matters requiring sagacity and foresight should be postponed, if they cannot be attended to in the morning. Organized movement against war tn the future again is Indicated by Mars. Fersons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a prosperous year, if care in flnnnclal matters Is exercised. Children born on this day may be nnsettled In their dispositions, but generally fortunate. They are subjects Aries, and Mars is their principal ruling planet.—Copyright, 1021.

antly In contrast with the conduct of the other men—the hilarity of which Pat had warned me. “Where do we go from here?” Sheldon demanded toward the end of the meal, flinging his . arm across Phoebe's chair as he spoke, and catching the end of her floating chiffons between his long fingers. Phoebe didn’t stir, but Dick West turned and stared at Sheldon’s straying fingers. There was a sullen glint in his slightly close-set eyes. “Why not to Cheng Fuey’s as usual?” he demanded. “Maybe Anne would rather” —began Phoebe. “Afraid of Anne?” purred Evry. “She’s no goody-goody, and she likes Oriental things as well as the rest of us. Tommy, I saw a fan of peacock feathers In a shop down In Chinatown the other night. And it seems to me it would Just match that blue robe you—” I “Peacock feathers are unlucky,” Interrupted Tom solemnly. “I carry a rabbit’s foot on my watch chain, and a fourleaf clover in niy watch and under my coat lapel reposes a pin I once found head toward me. So you can’t lure me to Chinatown after peacock feathers. But if that pretty little Toy Yon is going to dance Rgain-—I should think any properly Jealous blonde would try to lure us away." Every one laughed as If Tom were being tremendously clever. And I, who knew just how clever he had been to defeat Evvy's malice, forced a quavering little smll“. “Want your chicken chow mein and a dance or two to give you the appetite for it, baby?” asked Sheldon, his voice a little fuzzy as he leaned toward Phoebe. “The waltzes are mine!” challenged Dick West, also leaning across toward Phoebe. As we got np to go. Evvy came and slipped her arm through mine. “I didn't realize what I was doing when I almost gave away that you were the girl to whom Tommy was making presents of wonderful blue robes. Forgtve me, Anne?” she purred. “It doesn’t matter," I replied with far more Indifference than I felt. “I'm glad," acquiesced Evvy with an air of understanding. "Isn't It amusing what a little flirt our Baby is turning Into? Dicky and Shelly are quite mad about her. She puts my nose out of Joint, but I love her for all that. And I do try to keep an eye on her. You believe that, don't you, Princess Anne." “Oh, yes." I replied, dryly. Then Evvy made the final overplay of her weak hand: "You know we have to keep her from being too lonesome while that sweet brother of yours Is away. By the way, isn't Neal due back pretty soon?" —Copyright, 1021. (To Bo Continued.)

OH! WHERE WERE MARY PICKFORD’S CURLS IN 1909? O’Brien Plays Heavy Role—Mildred Goes in for Sob Stuff — Chaplin on View
Boy, ring out the family album, turn back the pages and see if our Mary Pickford had curls In 1909. Sweet shades of sadness —Mary didn't wear- 'em then. Maybe it wasn't the style way back in 1909 for our Mary to wear curls. She wore her hair In a fluffy roll. No curls were visible. Somehow I have always thought of Mary as the girl with the curls. You remember how all the little flappers several seasons ago blossomed out with those Mary Bickford 1 curls, usually purchased at a hair store or curled for the season. 1 made that terrible discovery yestf."<lay afteruoon at tiie Circle in witnessing “The Old Time Movie Show" in whicti Mary Bickford and Owen Moore appeared lu “Shadows of Doubt.” This movie was nrfcde and presented in the nickel shows In 1909. This picture was made when Owen Moore was courtin’ Mary and we recall that courtship was successful, but the finish was terrible. This old-time picture is being presented as the comedy feutnre of tills week’s bill at the Circle, Just as it was presented In 1909 In the nickel shows. A pianist hammers out such melodies as I"A Hot Time In the Old Town To- ■ night" aud others heard in the good old days. In “Shadows of Doubt," and I admit most of the pleturo is doubt, Mary loves a ninn (Moore) and she puts on the shawl of a married woman. Husband of married woman finds Mary with his wife's shawl on In ttie arms of Moore In the married's man’s house. Married man strikes Moore down and thinks he has killed him. Married man runs out of house, thinking spirit of Moore follows him. Wo don't see the spirit, but James Kirkwood, who wears a terrible looking beard and plays the husband part, gives j tho impression that something is following him. Married man becomes “nutty” for the time being and the doctor lia* Mnry and Owen to do the lovp scene ; over in the same room. “Nutty" husband comes in. Sees the tiling which I drove hi in dippy. IB* Jumps on Owen and Mary throws back the shawl. Married mun sees his mistake and his | "brains” return. Mary sinks contentedly into Moore’s arms. Married man kisses i ids wife. End of the picture. Then the slide Is flashed on the screen : i "Ail those having seen tlie show go out. Make room for those standing.” i Also another slide: "Anyone caught I putting chewing gum on tha seats will ! be removed." I Then comes the announcement that an j Illustrated song will be rendered. The piano player strikes up the time, I "My Little Kangaroo," while a maiden sings, and colored slides are flashed on i the screen. j Oh. I forgot to say that Mary's skirts | were so long that they trailed on the ' ground. Oh, this old-time movie show Is mighty good fun and shows the best the screen i offered In 1909. How the world do move, i "Th Old-time Movie Show” is Jolly tine fun.

All the dramatic possibilities of Mrs. Henry Wood's "East Lynne,” a familiar offering of the American stage for more than ba!f a century, are portrayed In Hugo RalHn's modernized screen version of this famous success, which was exhibited yesterday at English's to c-l tlntie during tb- renwilndur of ths tvc.-k, Mabel Baliin appears as Isabel Vane, the fatherless child who becomes the wife of her parent's lawyer, nnd she gives to tiiis oft-repeated role a depth j of fe-ling and a wide range of character portrayal which placed it in the ranks of the. best acllng of tills type which has been screened In recent years. , The story of “East Lynne” is too old to be repeated here. It has been told many times, and modern plays and mod erln books have served to keep it before the public under new titles aud with added complications. But In spite of Its age, the theme of this famous drama Is given new beauty in the screen production with Mabel Baliin in the principal role. At the beginning she Is a dainty and capricious bride- happy in the beautiful home that her husband has provided for her —but stumbling through life until she la parted from him, she becomes the mother of an Illegitimate child, and finding misery turning to black despair, : wanders back to East Lynne after her , baby has been killed iti a railroad wreck, to die In the arms of the man who has : never ceased to love her.

The story of “World's Apart” concerns a man by the name of Hugh Leyyard. who Is “turned down” by the girl he lovt-s. She “turns him down” because she wants a man with more money than he had. Hugh then marries a girl whom he discovers In the act of attempting suicide. He asks no questions. The wife is given nil the comforts money can buy but she is uncomfortable. Her father has Just been released from prison and she gives him the position of butler In her own home without telling her husband the facts. In comes the man who has married Hugh's sweetheart —the one who “turned him down.” lie recognizes the butler and 1s prepared to expose him. The unpleasant party Is saved this trouble because he is murdered and suspicion falls on the butler. Hugh's wife then admits that the bntler is her father and that he is an ex-convict, but declares that he Is no muni rer. Husband leaves his wife t frolic about with the wife of tho murdered man. The wife is forced to visit an opium joint to get the evidence to clear her father. In this "Joint" Hugh and his wife again kins and make up. Eugene O'Brien Is a good actor and a far too good an actor to placo In such s poor vehicle. I do not like movies in which there are opium Joint scenes, although these scenes are well directed and phofogrnplied. The scene* of the hnnt in this movie are beauties. What does not appeal to me, may be a sonree of pleasure to others. At the Colonial all week. W. D. n. -|- -|- -|- . FORMER MRB. CHAPLIN ATTEMPTS THE HEAVY STIFF. Mildred Harris, formerly Mrs. Charlie Chaplin, has decided to try the “heavy” stuff on the movie sewn nnd attempts i to pull out tome tears from her audiences In “Folly of the Storm Country.” The only water I saw- while witnessing this movie was the water used in the storm scenes. Certain women of the stage and screen aro fitted for special roles. Miss Harris has done in the past in a satisfactory way parts in which she wears fine clothes. I believe that her audiences desire to see her in fine gowns and pretty hats. It is my opinion that she should play roles of that nature. I am told that she Is coming soon to the Circle in such a ve'hicle. in "Folly of the Storm Country." Miss Harris Ims the role of Folly, the daughter of a Kentucky squatter. There Is a j conspiracy to hustle her father off of bis \ land and the plot is successful. With her j father missing, the land thieves attempt | to remove Folly from the cahln. Her! sweet temper gives way and she becomes
a woman without a heart, but In the end her sweet nature returns and she marries a man with a bunch of money. There is one splendid character in this movie and it Is the old grandmother, a quaint person who lives what she reads in the Bible. The movie Is well directed, especially the storm scene, but I fall to see bow one of the men wore a stiff hat through the storm when trees nearly bend to the ground In the storm. Stick to fine clothes. Miss Harris, and allow other women to play the gingham roles. At Mister Smith's all week.—W. D. H. THE EYES OF REBE MAY BE AS FAMOUS AS ANNA'S. Teh eyes of Bcbe Daniels may become 8 famous as those of the late Anna Held. It was tho saucy eyes of Anna and the work of a press agent telling the world that she jnst couldn't make ’em behave, which made the French music hall singer an international success. The latest screen vehicle of Belie Daniels Is called “Ducks and Drakes.” concerning Teddy Sampson, who owns a pair of flirting eyes. Miss Daniels la of course the flirting Feggy. Feggy does not relish the Idea of marrying. settling down and darning a sock or two if occasion demands. She had the naughty habit of calling strange man on the telephone and engaging In a wordy flirtation. Feggy becomes so deliciously naughty that the man who wants to marry her decides to tame her before he slips the weddln’ ring on her finger. The prospective husband stages a "frame-up” and in the end Feggy is content to focus her flirting eyes on hid. The “him” In the cast Is played by Jack Holt. Others in the cast are Wade Boteler, Mame Kelso and W. E. Lawrence. May be seen at the Alhambra today, Tuesday and Wednesday. -|- -|. -|. CHAPLIN AND COOGAN ON VIEW AT REGENT.

I PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. You remember In the last story that the little Bluebird had Just sat down for breakfast with the Gnome King. Wells In less time than I can take to tell itj several nimble little men of the fores! placed grains of wheat and a goblet ol golden fruit-wine on the table, and after she had eaten It took her but a few moments to tell him all about Puss. “Come, let us hasten," he said, and slipping into his pocket his magic pipe and a little piece of soap, he left the cave and walked rapidly toward a small clearing. Leaning over a pool In the hollow of the grassy earth, he filled his pipe, rubbed the soap about the rim, and In a moment more blew a large soap bubble Then taking the little Bluebird In his hand, he opened a small door and entered the magic soap bubble. Up and up It went, until it was well above tha tops off the trees. Then It turned toward the east, where the rising sun was gilding the sky with its golden fingers. Faster and faster it sailed, overtaking In a short time the Fairy Queen and her three ladies-in-walting. mounted on their friendly robins. In the distance could be seen the turrets of the castle, gleaming In the morning sun. “Now, little Bluebird,” said the Gnome, opening the little door of the big soap bubble as It hovered above the castle, “fly down and tell Puss that help Is near. Also tell the beautiful Princess, who I see 19 still asleep at her window." Off flew the Bluebird on her happy errand. “Your Majesty,” cried the Gnome to the Fairy Queen, as she drew rein at the I doorway of the magic soap bubble. “I would suggest that you touch the cage | which Imprisons Puss Junior with your magic ring. And while he still has the form of a cockatoo, tell him to fly up to the topmost branch of the pine tree. Also tell the Prince, while he Is still a gamecock, to do likewise. "Then after I have brought the bubble close to the window ledge so that the beautiful Princess may step Inside, I will cause it to rise to the treetop, so that we can rescue Puss and the Prince.” "But what to do with the Pine Tree Giant,” added Gnome, scratching his I beard reflectively, “gets me! However, 'one thing at a time,’ as my grandfather used to say when I was a boy, ‘one things at a time!’ ” As the little Bluebird whispered In the ear of the beautiful Princess, the magic soap bubble came close to the window sill. Although very much startled, she obeyed the Bluebird, and stepped softly into the bubble. It then rose to the topm .. branch of the pine tree, where the game rooster sat on one side and the coekatoo on the other. As they hopped into the bubble, the Fairy Queen touched them with her magic ring, and at once they regained their natural forms. Then the Princess threw her arms around her dear brother, while Puss thanked the Gnome King again and again for coming to their rescue.—Copyright, 1921. (To be continued.) DRUPES DEFINED. Q.
