t V7an ( g?e LETTER FROM BEATRICE SUMMERS TO LESLIE PRESCOTT. Dear Leslie: I am sorry—how ; trite and cold those words seem — | you know, however, dear friend, that the same words spoken by different people take on entirely different meanings. When 1 say I am sorry it means j that I sorrow and sympathize with ] you with all my heart. You have been in tny thoughts ever since I re reived Sally's letter. You have had much grief lately in the deaths of your father and sister. Perhaps tho greatest grief of all is j the thought that one must go on llv- ; ing the same old life, doing the same j old tilings, even thinking the same old thoughts, when one's heart is I desolate. I found this out myself, dear, when I lost my fa the r and mother In that automobile accident many years ago. I almost resented when a thought outside my grief crept Into my brain and finally I realized that the only way to live on was to try and eliminate grief as soon as possi : ble. This may sound very hard, but : it is the only way. I Sally sent me some clippings from the papers saying that you and your j mother were going to Atlantic City ; for a little while and that after that ! you might come out here. That ' would be glorious and i am sure it - would do you good. You would love j it out here in our sleepy little town •J Hollywood. I expect that sentence will make : even you smile. It ia a sleepy uld town. dear, not withstanding everybody outside of lc is Angeles seems to think it a noisy roaring gateway to hell. The trouble is that the world and his wife think they know well all the picture people they see on the screen. They are interested enough i in them not only to read but to gossip about them and every little bit of scandal is caught up blithely and flung from lip to lip. growing more and more exaggerated each time it is dexterously caught and Hung out I again. Most of the motion picture actors ; and actresses have just as much j privacy as Irvin Cobb's famous gold fish. I sometimes wonder if those ; who mil the gossip of their favorite • actors and actresses under th-lr ; tongues, would come out any better i if they were all the while disporting j themselves about in a glass bowl i where every one might see their anJ tics. Hollywood, my dear, is a home of beauty. I used to think that one had to go to New York or Baltimore or I Washington to see the most heautl- | ful exuberant youth on the globe. Right here on the Hollywood I Boulevard I have seen within three | squares more beautiful girls and | handsome young men than I have ever seen in all the other three ' places put together. Beauty is one of the things that ' must ho the stock-in-trade of those I who want to be seen on the screen, j (Copyright. 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) Next: This letter continued.

RADIO STATIONS ARE GIVEN NEW WAVE LENGTHS Additional Channels Provided for Broadcasting Programs. Bu ftl'leil Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. Several new channels for Class B stations will be created by a plan for tbe reallocation of wave lengths which is now being put Into effect by the Radio Bureau of the Department of Commerce. The new plan calls for the reduction of tbe separation between tbe wave lengths of stations from 10 to 9, 8 and even 7*kilocycles. Experiments which have been conducted for the last three weeks have convinced radio officials <>f the feasiIMlity of this plan and beginning immediately a change will be made in tbe wave length of a number of stations. Here are tbe stations whose wave lengths will be changed immediately: New Old Call Location Wave Wave I>ongth Length WHAA lowa City Towa . . 49H I*4 W’OC Davenport lowa 49* 4*4 WMC Memnhi*.

Mo. 549 1 546 It can be seen from examination of the above changes that practicali Iv two nw channels are created. \ Under the new plan, WNYC New York has an exclusive wave length 1 whereas it warn formerly on the same wave length with WO A\V Omaha and WHO Des Moines. A : new channel Is also created at 542 2. which will be assigned to anew station which is expected to come in at Auburn, Ala., within a very short time. Changes \bove 484 Meter* So far. the only changes that have been made are with fattens above 454 meters, which under the :iew plan will be separated by only | seven kilocycle* When tho experiments were first started three week* ago, these \ stations were separated by only five kilocycles for test purposes It was I soon found, however, that such a small separation resulted In Interference and the separation was In- ; creased to 7 kilocycles, where it was found stations worked satisfactorily. The idea of tho new- changes is to provide additional channels, while at the same time keep Interference : down to a minimum. Similar changes will be made in the wave lengths of Class B stations below 454 meters within a | short tlm. I Experiments will be started Immediately to determine the exact distance necessary to prevent interferi ence which, it I* believed, will nver- ! age around eight, nine or ten kiloccles. Just as soon as the experiments i have been completed, changes will be made in the wave lengths of j these stations so as to provide additional channels for the two dozen or more new stations which will re- | quire wave lengths within the nett j sixty days. SHANK MAY BE SECOND John J. Griffith First to ('roes Delaware St. Bridge in County Car. Mayor Shank learned today his auto can't be the first to cross the new bridge over Fall Creek at Delaware st.

Martha Lee Says Age Takes Toll Even From Dream People One of the surest ways for either man or woman to realize his own blessings is to fee his first love, whom he almost married, grow to be fat and forty, while his own wife—or husband, if such be the ease —remains slim and youthful.
One of the surest ways for cither man or woman to grow most dissatisfied with hts own mate is for his first love to be far away, and so to remain, in bis dreams, as she was when he last saw her. She Is clever and sweet. She never looks tired and old in the evenings. She never gets home late from bridge parties, so that he must wait for dinner. She always is well dressed, but her clothes never cost much. The dream man. the first love, of the wife, loses neither his slim fig lire nor his hair. He Is as gentle as a dove, but as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar. He is successful in business, but he does not think business to tbe exclusion of everything else. He never forgets bis wife's birthday. If these folks could see their first loves as they are now. they would realize that age takes its toll, even from dream men and women. And they would be better satis tied with their own wives and busbands. Her Dream Man Dear Mir* lye I am 51 var old and have been married nine rears, Mr bus band t. eood t<> me but be want.* to stay borne all the time, and I like to go Before ! married thi* man. 1 was en (raced to another mail We quarreled and I broke ttie engagement.

Can you tell me how to forget him FAITHFUL WIFE My dear woman, had you married this man of your dreams, you would Idealize vnur present husband ns you do the other man now probably Is just as ready to “settle flown" as your husband is. and bis wife probably has the same dreams you

Your husband and you should compromise on this “settling down” proposition. Make a “fifty-fifty” agreement. His Old Lovo Dear Mow Le T had been going with a boy for more than two months We wore going to be married ill the spring, but had told no one.

OUT FOR CHRISTMAS Company Thinks So Much of Official It Pays Ills Alimony. Bp Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24. Charles D’Arcey won’t get to spend Christmas in jail, as he anticipated. Last week, D’Arcey, controller for a local paper company, voluntarily went to jail rather than pay his wife $3,000 back alimony. He announced his intention of spending the rest of his life, in prison rather than paying. Officials of the paper company decided they couldn't get along without him, so they paid the alimony and agreed to keep up the payments as a Christmas present to their employe.
