. A Record to Be Proud Of .
Attention has been called to the efforts of the Pennsylvania railroad to enlist the public in help
ing the company make its passenger service bet
ter and more efficient. This' railroad has done much for the public, not the least of its. efforts
being an honest endeavor to keep'down the num
ber of deaths and accidents. A recent report of the company shows that it carried 361,072,114 passengers on 2,400,000 trains ihthe last two
years without a single fatal accident. This is a
record of which "the company is proud and-the public may well felicitate the Pennsylvania oh the
showing.' These figures are astounding when one
considers the amount of risk involved, the num
ber of trains operated, the human element that always must be 'considered The statement of the
company is appended for careful perusal;
The entire Pennsylvania Railroad System,
whose 26,000 miles of track serve more than half
the people of the United States, completed two
years without a single one of Uhe 361,572,114
passengers carried in that period being killed in
a train accident. Figures for November and December of 1915 were necessarily estimated. ' This record of two years means the safe operation by day and by night, through fog i and snow, storm and clear weather, of no less than 2,400,000 passenger trains, while at the same time approximately as many more freight trains were being cared for. The Lines East of Pittsburg today completed their third successive year without a single train
accident fatality to one of the 320,000,000 people
carried in the three-year period.
Gallipoli Now;. Salonika Soon The ill-starred and ill-fated expedition of the
Allies against Constantinople has ended in an. inglorious withdrawal of troops. Thousands of
Great Britain's best sons were left dead on the shores of Gallipoli ; hundreds of officers, from the best British families met their doom there.
History will mark the Gallipoli campaign as
one of the military , f ollies of the world, ranking it with Napoleon's invasion- of Russia and withdrawal from Moscow The Allies wanted to take
Constantinople and open a way for the wheat and cereals of Odessa. The stragetic intention .was good, but the momentous obstacles . confronting its consummation were underestimated. Turkish guns,' manned by German officers smashed the fleet that Jkiied to forcethe,; Dardanelles, and Turkiskinfantry,, officered hy Teutons, kept the expeditionary - force that r obtained a precarious foothold on the shore, from entering the interior. -Some one blundered at Gallipoli, and, as is usually the case,' when an error is committed in military- engagements, thousands of privates paid the prjee of the blunder with their blood. Great Britain may boast of her glorious with
drawal but the price she paid to gain, a foothold on Gallipoli (s a bloody commentary .on the feast. - With Gallipoli clear of the enemy, the Central
Powers have a straight road from Berlin to Con
stantinople.; Thousands of Turkish soldiers are released for- the campaign in Mesopotamia and
for, the. expected advance, into Egypt. News dis
patches say many of the allied troops have been
removed to Salonika. Conjectures of the out
come of the campaign to be waged about that
city are rife. Teutonic thoroughness has prepared for even
tualities there. As soon as Great Britain has
landed her Gallipoli troops and sent thousands of
men to the city, the Germans will be ready for a
piece of startegy they have been anticipating for many months, namely,-an opportunity to isolate
a tremendous number of soldiers and then sur
round or crush the whole contingent. The Allies cannot break through the western barrier in
France and Belgium; Russia is out, of the run
ning for months.1 to come; Germany is able to
spare all the men and guns she needs for the Sal onika campaign. Salonika will be another Galli poli.

Requests .. for the address of Mary Pickford have come to tho office. Address letters to 270 Riverside Drive, New York.
Yesterday I told of my determination to leave melodrama, and today I go on spinning the. drab little thread of my story. . For several days I pondered upon how best, to reach out toward my goal. Then I decided that it would
be foolish for me to try to see-the managers, knowing very well I would
never get beyond the office boy. "Or, if lucky enough to pass him, I would find myself, face to face with a score of other dignitaries standing between me and the manager, whom I felt would listen to me if I could once get an audience. Such are the little vanities of youth and that assurance which always carries its;, power. . I wrote eight letters to eight of the leading stars in my profession, telling them that I was not a stage-struck girl, but that I had been a good actress in poor productions ever, since I was 6 years old. All I asked of them was to let me reach the managers through a word from them. Of the managers, I always mentioned Belasco first, for he was the star in my sky which seemed to hold out to me the most brilliant prospects. Hope Springs Eternal. Each morning I would rise early, thinking that surely a letter would arrive in answer to one of mine. I would peek out of the window as the old lumbering postman would round the corner and fly downstairs- to be the first one to greet him. "How many letters have you brought for me!" I asked, as I trembled with eager excitement. "Well let's see!" he would invariably say, as he shuffled them thoughtfully. "One from Canada, and and that is about all, as far as I can see. Miss Goldilocks. But I will be around here this afternoon, and there might be a handful by that time." Little the kindly old man knew how leaden his words were to me, and that each time my heart grew heavier and heavier as he came empty handed. Two weeks passed, and no one had answered my letters. Aunt Kate and Aunt Min insisted I live there with them, although they were so cramped for room I had to sleep In the Morris chair. But I was only too glad to stay, for I dreamed that attbe eleventh hour a sweet-scented pink-tinted envelope would come, and In it would be a letter beginning "Dear Little Girl, I am sorry I kept you waiting bo long," and ending, "Come to me and I will be very glad to introduce you to Mr. Belasco or Mr. Frohman. Sincerely yours," etc. Perhaps it would be signed by Julia Marlowe, Blanche Bates, Maude j
Adams, Frances Starr or Ethel Barrymore. In my fancy I could never determine, which actress would be my guiding star, for across the footlights I loved them equally well. Little did I realize at that time because I had never, been associated with 4 stars, - that an ' actress - receives hundreds of such appeals daily which interest her and touch her deeply. But she hasn't the time to look Into them. Her daily work is prescribed for her, and she cannot sacrifice her rest hours, after three exhausting acts,
to interview, dozens of ambitious aspirants, j ", I know how it is myself. So many girls and boys write to me, eager to have me placet them in moving picture companies, but I have no power to do so and really -very nttle influence, as I am a salaried artist myself and am always, working so hard that I have' little time to give'to personal interviews. After two or three weeks of this hoping against hope, I decided I had better start out for myself. Mother kept writitg for me to come home to Canada, but I had determined . to bring a' contract with, me." . So I replied with encouraglng'letters that I should not leave until I had succeeded. It was Monday when I started out and .1 went direct ' to Mr. . Belasco'B office. - , ' , , - "I would like to see Mr. Belasco," I said hopefully to his secretary, who .looked at me with cold, unseeing eyes. "Very well." he replied. "Come next
Monday and I will see if I can get
Van audience for you. i
He took my name and address, and I lrft the office, my heart almost bursting with song and my feet dam ing, down the stairs. t -, "I am -to see Mr. Belasco next Monday, I cried as I burst in upon Aunt Kate and Aunt Min. "The man in the office said I could meet him." Never, was a week so long, and how my.heagt thumped when.it had passed and the eventful day dawned for ue. I arose with the chanticleers! And what rushing of curls there was as I studied the formal little speeches which I would make to Mr. Belasco! . This will bav to be continued in my next, as t must not forget my correspondents, and I. am as interested in that as I am n the writing of my articles. A MADV BtriirpMin

THERE IS A VAST M1Y of men and women who really never know what it is to enjoy sound, vibrating health who would be surprised to suddenly gain that exhilarating vitality that robust health brings. Literally thousands without any particular sickness live in "general debility", as the doctors call it have headaches, are tired and indifferent. To all such people we say with unmistakable earnestness "Take Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month and allow its rare oil-food to enrich and enliven your blood, quicken your circulation, stimulate nutrition, and aid nature to develop that real red-blooded life that means activity, enjoyment, success." Scott's Emulsion is not a drug, but a pleasant food-tonic free from alcohoL

Haunting Hawaiian Melodies recorded for the Grafonola Columbia Records that really convey the strange fascination of Hawaiian music, and the romantic atmosphere of the South Sea Islands. The plaintive minor wail of soft female voices against the rich choral background of deep-throated male singers in COLUMBIA DOUBLE DISC RECORD
NO. A 1616 75c "ALOHA OE" sung by Toots Paka Hawaiian Company will thrill even those who have never visited Stevenson s beloved " I sle of Dreams," nor heard the distance-softened chorus floating faintly over the waters on velvet-dark Hawaiian nights. "The Hawaiian Medley" on the reverse of this record is an odd blending of the wild melancholy and still wilder merriment of Hawaiian instrumental music No one can remain unresponsive to the all-but-human notes of the South Sea guitar, or the rythmic throbbing of the ukultle the appeal of Hawaiian music is well-nigh universal. For a novel "Musical Evening in the South Sea Islands, your dealer will be glad to make suggestions from among the many Columbia records listed in the special Hawaiian catalog. Hear "Kamawee," the original Hula dance, and others, by the same inimitable company of Hawaiian musicians. CtbnmUm KtetrA in all Ftrtig tmmgwmgn New records go on sole the 20th of every month.
