This is the opinion of Mildred Har ris Chaplin, who plays the role of such a girl in “Old Dad” her latest . First National , starring vehicle, which will be screened at the Rex; theatre commencing Tuesday. “Not that there is anything par- ticularly obnoxious about tomboys, for T have known many who were really delightful creatures, but most of them have been cheated in life at the start,” commented Mrs. Chaplin. “The majority of girls I have known who were in the tomboy class, came from families of wealth. Thelr mothers were either not living, or had all their interests wrapped up in soclety, while their fathers were generally so - immersed. .in business that they gave but little time to-their children. Nurses and -governesses and fashionable boarding schools con never substitute for the loving care of a real mother. When such substi- tutes are offered in the [place ot | genuine mother love for a. girl re-| action is bound to take place in her life. The chances are that she will. develop : certain - little - eccentricities | that are not common among oOther | girls. Hence we have the tomboy, | who seeks excitement so frequently in unconventional and unladylike ways. And she is more to be pitied than blamed. 1In the humble home, the tomboy is a rarity, for the ties| .ot love are often closer than in the | mansions of the rich. The mother has neither the time nor the entree into society, while the father hasn’t great business interest: to obscure his visioh of the really finer things in life. An orphan girl has no op- portunity to become a tomboy;: nhe must work for her living. *““Any girl who enjoys the love and ! tion. of a.mother should ‘re‘nd ’her most ‘priteless possessi 7.,5‘”!1 dv, am; proud thyt 1 efine a ible home with devof o i're ” &Jr«f filnrfls Chaplin, W ose“ “-mother-accompanies her wherever she goes, is a Wyoming girl. is the-place-of her nativity and the year of her birth 1901.

Merchandise is only worth what it costs to re- place it. There is no economic law which en- - ables a merchant to ¢ash in on a rising market- and then do the same thmg when the decline comes. Holding onfo “high cost” merchandise instead of getting rid of it and replacing' it with “low cost” goods is unprofitable and disastrous. All busi- nessiand labor must take its share of this eco- “riomic loss.. It is impossible for one industry to 4addle its loss onto another. *A prompt return to normal reduces the 16ss to a minimum. ' Itis only when the program is resisted that the loss be- comes acute and severe. Hunfireds of instarices are now a matter of record to prove that resistance to these economic laws is futile.
