Writing his memoirs in} the Strand, an English magazine, Dowle confides that he is disappointed because his Sherlock Holmes yarns have eclipsed what he consider his more literary works such as “The White Company.” | All this is amazing. dramatic lion doll Theatrical booking agents will nod their: heads and repeat : “Yes, when they can sing, they want to dance. And when they can dance, they want to sing.” The comedian, Eddie Foy, for many years nursed as his greatest ambition the desire to star as Hamlet. George Ade wanted to write tragedies—and got sidetracked. So it goes, all of us imagine we'd have done better if we had followed some other line of work—a peculiar form of self-hypnotism and delusion that is especially characteristic of successful men. There's a saying that every man thinks he knows how to edit a better newspaper than any now published. The life function or purpose of Conan Doyle, unquestion- ably was the writing of the Sherlock Holmes stories. He| started out as a physician in Edinburgh. He felt pulses and | prescribed pills for eight years, his income ‘in this time never | exceeding $1400 a year. Then he wrote “Study in Scarlet,” first of his thrillers — calling his hero Sherrinford Holmes. later was changed. Ormond Saker. In all history, there have been only three endurably great | fictional detective. and Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. These are the three greatest. | Holmes brought Doyle a million dollars, they say.

You'll recall he navigated a 30-foot sailboat | across the Atlantic in 143 days. He'll spend the next two} years sailing his boat alone in the Pacific where he expects to | visit every French island.

The cor Erower will not only win abe: routine and not change places with Allan.” Most of us are forever yearning for adventures. we want are the glory and th not the cold and mate side. Adventures involve hardships which are a “heap sight” | better to read about than to experience. H It looks fine, for instance, the idea of casting civilization aside and starting north on an exploring trip. The dazzle of | sunlight on polar ice would soon send the average person | seurrying home. If that failed, the bitter weather and scant rations of rough food would quickly give the average man his fill of “adventure.” People don't really want to experience adventures. They | just imagine they do. Cunning, fiction writers know this, so they soft-pedal the disagreeable side. For instance, it’s fine to read about the ghostl jungle. The picture is spoiled if the writer tells about the adventurers being devoured by mosquitoes. Even the adventurer has to pay in full for his joys and thrills. That's natural law and he can't escape it. Wh AR DOWN CARS Sentencing auto speeders to the workhouse, a Cleveland traffic judge says he is convinced that within a few years it will be nece: ‘y to prohibit the manufacture of highspeed cars. Cars woultl be geared down, at the factories, so they couldn’t make more than, say 25 miles an hour. A fool or person of bad judgment driving 10 miles an hour may be just as dangerous as a capable, cautious driver going 45, but only occasionally. The way to prevent speed is to take away the means of speed. No one really needs to travel faster than a mile in two minutes, except police, doc- tors, firemen and crooks.

His clothes are frequently worn by men they don’t fit. ey TAXES TOO HIGH A prominent playwright puts his typewriter in his trunk aud announces “he won't write any more plays until income taxes come down. His plays pay him royalties of $10,000 a week, and the tax man takes about half of it. Of course, it’s like pulling teeth, to hand over $5000 a week in taxes. That leaves only $5000 for the playwright. But if there weren't any income tax, it’s probable that this ight’s income would be $5000 a week. Theater tickets t‘more, to provide the tax.

The greatest and most powerful BIRTHCONTROL CLINICS WILL BE ESTABLISHED: BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT NEA Service Staff Writer New York, Jan. 4.—‘Within ten years birth control clinics will ex- cite no thore comment than schoo) hous charitable institutions will largely have disappeared; and the little short word ‘finis’ will have been written over the tragedy ofsthe unwanted child.” Margaret Sanger, foremost pro- ponent of birth control, clad in a frock of black, becomingly feilled with white, a bunch of violets at her fu- belt, thus jubilantly predicts a ture based upon the successful ation of the first birth control here. For 11 months, she reveals, the clinic has been secretly operating at the headquarters of the American Birth Control League, 104 Fifth ave- nue, during which time it has given contraceptive information to 900 women, turned away twice as many more and answered 65,000 letters from women in all parts of the coun- try. Keep Within the Law And all, she says, within the spirit and the letter of the law. For in keeping with a decision handed down in 1918 by Judge Frederick E. Crane of the Court of Appeals that “any duly licensed physician could give such information for the cure or pre- vention of disease,” the climic was put in charge of a licensed physician, Dr. Dorothy Bocker, and has had the cooperation of doctors, hospitals and social workers. The operation of the clinic was kept secret, not because of any fear that it was illegal, explains Mrs. Sanger, but in order that the project might be given an unhampered trial. “And its results answer conclu- sively,” she maintains, “the claims, of our opponents that the giving of contraceptive information would. in- crease immorality, that the poor didn’t want it and that others! wouldn't tolerate it. | “I have no knowledge of a weman, of loose morals ever applying at the clinic. | “The 900 women who were given} information were all married. Of| these 73 per cent wanted the infor-} mation because their families were already larger than they could’ care for and 27 per cent needed it for health reasons. “One day there came to me a wo- man to whom I had given contra- ceptive information back in 1916 when for a brief ten days the first! American Birth Control clinie was operating in Brooklyn, and for which | T later went to jail. She had five} children then, the family. was poor | and she was in terror of adding to it. | “She came to me a few months ago smiling. By curtailing her family she had been able to give better care to her five children and was now| saving to send her eldest boy to college. “Even the woman who would ordi- narily be classed as a high grade moron is in favor of birth » control when once her social consciousness | is awakened.” | Clinics Planned for Other Cities Mrs. Sanger does not fear the in- terference of the law in her present Project. “I do not sce how the legality-of the clinic can be questioned,” she says, “as we have followed the let- ter of the law in every respect. “Already our workers are planning to open similar ¢linies. in Chicago and. Milwaukee and within a few years I expect to see them in every city and town of the United States. “It isn’t only the club Romen who want it. The-swoment of the lower classes are clamoring for it, as our 65,000 pathetic, generally poorly spelled letters show. “It has got to come, else the Unit- ed States will be like China. We may not feed our surplus children to the crocodiles but diseases and vice are even worse monsters.” Bet He's Boss At Home PARIS—Another true gentleman arises in defense of those comfy soft collars!

She is something quiet different from the average woman. Sometimes I have’ come to think that even with my short acquain- tance with her, I know her now even better than I know you. By the way, I wonder if you have ever known asman by tne name of Sydney Carton? He tells me he 15 the most intimate friend of John Alden Prescott, who married your friend, Leslie Hamilton. He also seems to have ‘known, Miss Perier very well before she went into pic tures and for the last few days since he has been here they have been constantly together. It doesn’t take very much to set the gossips going in Hollywood an} the whole colony is agog over the idea that at last Paula Perier is al- lowing some an to shower her with his undivided attention. She has kept entirely to herselt execpt when, for business reasons, she has had to show herself at the hotel with Abe. Einstein. On these occasions she has always insisted that I go with them. Carton seems a pretty recent fel- low and the strange part of it 1> that Miss Perier seems, as far as ! lean see, more devoted to him than he is to her. There is some bond between them, however, greater than friendship. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

M. Leonhard, local architect, is completing plans for a new $50.000 school building to, be erected at El- gin, N. D., as long as work can Se started in the spring. The building is a two story and high basement structure of brick 68 by 61.6 feet in size. The basement will have a gym- nasium 28 by 60, special class rooms for manual training and domestic science, boiler room and lavatories. The gym will have a 17 foot clear- ance to the ceiling. Four class rooms and a library are provided on the main floor while two class rooms, three recitations rooms. a teacher's rest room and a superin- tendent’s office are on the second floor. Elgin citizens in an effort to cut costs of construction this last fall donated services in digging the base- ment while all sand and gravel need- ed has been donated. MANDAN HOUSE | IS DAMAGED Damage estimated at around $1,000 was caused by fire and water yes- terday at the home of Robert Stoltz, Second street, N. E. The blaze started presumably from an overheated furnace which caused timbers adjacent to a chimney to become charred and eventually break into flame about 8 o'clock in the morning. A delay of 15 minutes oc- | curred before the fire alarm could be turned in apd upon arrival of the fire engine it was necessary to use water to quench the flames, as the blaze had progressed beyond use of chemicals.
