Mary Pickford May Be No Business Woman but She Is Mighty Clever

By JACK JUNGMEYER 77] OLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 13. H Mary Bickford is not a business woman. Those who debate that dispute Mary, for she herself pricks the myth of commercial predilection which interviewers and character analysts have insisted upon ascribing to the queen of the screen. "The fact is,” she said. “I have a positive repugnance toward all business dealings. I have never considered myself a good business woman. “Commercial intrusions distress me. I find no compensatory delight in the worries involved in the marketing and presentation of pictures. These elements of production are, of course, inevitable, and I deal with them from self-protective intuitions developed by long experience in the industry, rather than from the pleasurable impulse that moves the genuine business mind. “My longings are to creat. And there is a fundamental difference between natures stimulated to create and those that enjoy purveying what others produce.” Miss Pickford brought up the topic deliberately during comment on her forthcoming “Dorotjiy Vernon of Haddon Hall,” and as is often the case in talknig with Mary, the grace notes of conversation soon dominated the original theme of the interview. Mary Considers Herself a Sort of Business Woman As sheer conjecture I hazard the opinion that Mary Pickford is irked by reiterated stress on her “shrewd business ability” because she believes it is creating an erroneous impression of her essential character: that it implies a taut, calculating nature behind the gracious screen self known to millions. Astute she is. Intuitively keen. Her judgments are usually as sound as they are speedily arrived at. She reacts rapidly. Her mind does not follow a single track. It radiates, and is not easily baffled. Persons seeking to take advantage of Mary Pickford find more than a match. But cold or designing she emphatically is not. Her protestations at being considered a business woman were not based on failure to manage her practical affairs, for in this she has been phenominally successful. Money matters are no longer of primary concern, if they ever were. The impression she wanted to convey was that she takes no Joy in dealing, in trafliicking, in bargaining. “I consider myself a good business

Old Man’s Advice *ls Great Help Suffered Terribly With Gas on Stomach

“I hsd pains in my side and would bloat up terribly after each meal. One doctor said I had appendicitis. My neighbor, an old man. told me to take Adlerika Mntestinal antiseptic! and the first bottle helped me and after taking six bottles I am permanently relieved." 'Signed! F. G. Konkle. A Treacherous Disease. Appendicitis attacks at any moment even persons seemingly in goad health. Usually, however, it Is preceded by socalled stomach trouble, constipation or similar disturbances. Often when there is a warning feeling of uneasiness in the abdomen, appendicitis can be guarded against in the same manner in which one guards against the spread of throat infection, because that is just what appendicitis is—an infection in the intestines spreading to the appendix. When one has sore throat, one can often prevent further trouble by using an antiseptic wash or gargle to fight the germs and a laxative to carry off the poisons from ihe body. The same procedure is necessary to fight '.e intestinal germs and guard asrains* appendicitis. But Instead •>f an antisr ic wash for the throat, an INTESTIS. ,1 antiseptic is necessary.

Attendance of babies and hcildren at child hygiene 'clinics in the city was 878 for January, compared to a monthly average of 857 last year. Paul L. Kirby, director, reported today. Eight hundred and eleven babies and 320 children were carried on registers of nurses during January. Nurses made 2,007 visits, and of the 811 babies cared for only one died. Dental clinics reported 241 appointments, 170 teeth extracted and 172 teeth filled.

STAR WILL DISAPPEAR Aldebaran to I>o Houdini Stunt Behind the Moon. Smoke and the weather man permit ting. Indianapolis citizens who are still awake tonight at 11:12 can see the moon “occult” the bright star Aldebaran. In other words Aldebaran will disappear behind the moon and will remain in seclusion about an hour. It goes behind the dark limb of the moon, according to Russell Sullivan, local astronomer, and comes from behind the bright limb at three minutes after midnight. The phenomenon is unlike an eclipse, Sullivan said. In an eclipse the eclipsed object passes through the shadow of .some celestial unit. SAWYER CASE TO JURY State "Rests Late Tuesday; Victim of Attempted Slaying Is Chief Witness. By Times Special WARSAW, Ind., Feb. 13.—The case of John Sawyer, on trial here on charge of attempting to murder his divorced wife, Rose Walton, was expected to go to the jury today. The State rested its case late Tuesday. Mrs. Walton was the principal witness, testifying that she was shot twice by her former husband, the defendant, as she was going from her home to her place of employment at a iiotel on Jan. 10. The defense attempted to prove that Sawyer was not at the place of the attempted slaying when the shots were fired.

BOTH upper and lower bowel and removing foul matter which poisoned the system for months and which notning else can dislodge. It brings out all gases, thus immediately relieving pressure on the heart. It is astonishing the great amount of poisonous matter Adlerika draws from the alimentary canal—matter you never thought was in your system. Try it right after a natural movement and notice how much more foul matter it brings out which was poisoning you. In slight disorders, such as occasional constipation, sour stomach, gas on the stomach and sick headache, one spoonful Adlerika ALWAYS brings relief. A longer treatment, however, is necessary in cases of obstinate constipation and long standing stomach trouble, preferably under direction of your physician. Reports From Physicians. “I found Adlerika the best in my entire 37 years' experience.” (Signed) Dr. G. Eggers. "I use Adlerika in all bowel cases. Soem require only one dose.” (Signed) Dr. F. M. P. (Name on request.) ‘‘l. have found nothing in my 50 years' practice to excel Adlerika.” (Signed) Dr. James Weaver. "After taking Adlerika feel better than for 20 years Haven't language to express the AWFUL IMPURITIES eliminated from my system.” (Signed) J. E. Puckett. , Adlerika is a constant surprise to people who used only orflinary bowel and stomach medicines, on account of its rapid, pleasant and COMPLETE action. It is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Sold in Indianapolis by H. J. Huder and the Hook Drug Cos. and other leading druggist s.—Advertisement.

lessness and cupidity. And If one is equitable one is just to himself as well as to others, holding the labor and the product of neither one too cheap. "Aside from that —well, I have cut only two coupons in my life and know very little about the details of my investments. I seldom go into the studio business office; only when I am forced to. Desks, typewriters, cabi-1 nets—the talk and ‘props' of the com- 1 mercial world repel’ me.” She Explains How She Plans Big Productions She led the way to her bungalow on the lot. There, with light filtering through vivid cretonne and in a diffusion of a personality expressed in subdued tone and ornament, she curled like a fur-clad ball into a chair. "Here,” she said, “planning my productions, taking stock of myself and my professional efforts, always with the desire to please others rather than to advantage myself, I feel at home. I wish I needn't bother about a picture once it is filmed. “My needs and my pleasures are simple. I have no desire to own homes here, there and everywhere. And I j can eat only one egg for breakfast." j Husband Doug breezed in excited about a novel plan for presenting his “Thief of Bagdad” in New York. Almost Instantly Mary vetoed it, and a later consensus of opinions sustained her judgment. 'Centrifugal she is by temperament, giving out; having something of the solitariness of the artist, it is true, without, however, being self-centered. But let no one discount in Mary Pickford the practical perspicacity which she herself minimizes. ENGLISHMEN PAY VISIT Londoners Study Methods of American Milk Dealers.

PLYMOUTH JURY CALLS EIGHT IN MURDER PROBE Mrs, Smith Near Nervous Breakdown Following Slaying Charges, By Cnitrri Bretts PLYMOUTH, Ind., Feb. 13,—Mrs. Ray B. Smith, whose charge that her husband murdered his grandmother and his father caused the greatest sensation in Marshall County in years, was kept in seclusion today. She was near a breakdown after telling details of a confession she claimed her husband made to her that he killed his grandmother, Mrs. Fran ces Sweet, 83, and his father. Pending some word of confirmation from Pittsfield, Mass., where she said the murder of Smith’s father took place, authorities were inclined to doubt that part of her statement which charged her husband had killed his father with a hammer. Eight witnesses were summoned today to appear before the Marshall County grand jury in the investigation of the murder of Mrs. Frances Sweet. 83. whose body was found Sunday beneath the foundation of a henhouse on the farm of her grandson Ray B. Smith. The witnesses called were: Mrs. Margaret Smith, wife of the accused, whose statement that he had shot his grandmother In the hack two years ago and buried the body, caused his arrest; Michael Barnhart, father of Mrs. Smith; Mrs. Bernhart, her mother: William Hooten. Harper Sickler, Elmer Truax, Roy Ringer, and Alfred Ringer. Hooten haloed Smith lay the concrete foundation for the henhouse under which the aged woman's body was later found. The other men live near the Smith farm. The grand jury wrfs to hear the first witnesses late this afternoon. It
