The dilemma appears in the case of the rail- way crossing law passed by the last legislature. Under it several hundred dangerous highway cross- ings over railway tracks have been marked with prominent “stop” signs, Under the law it is required that every vehicle, no matter what, come to a full stop before crossing the railway tracks at these marked crossings. In fact, few observe the signal. Bus operators have been doing so under the wise rules made by their employers, long before the stop signs were placed. * haired, to whom ‘suspicion points xi cept to, give the dope to Mott.

Those who think of him as a trifling, flippant per- It is axiomatic almost that a mere fool, an idle trifler, could fiot have won the affectionate gopd’ will of millions)pe thi men had. Valentino had physical beauty to be sure, but he ‘had brilliancy and that necessary elusive element of charm called personality. Women particularly admired him, but he was a man’s man too. The men who came in personal contact with him became his warm friends, Critics often say with rancor that it is a sad com- mentary on American taste, when a Valentino, a Chaplin, a Pickford, a Dempsey, or a McCullough make big fortunes in a short time, when the college prefessor, the teacher of philosophy, the classics, logic, or law must worry along on from five to ten thousand a year. The fact is, however, that these popular stars really do not have so terribly much left when they have paid all around the circle. Ancther thing is that their work is within the reach of all. What anyone pays these stars does net hurt. Valentino can be seen in a day by mil- lions at an expense to each one of from a dime to fifty cents, A college professor cannot spread him- self that way. Few there are who can afford to hire a professor permanently and few there are who cannot afford to see the movie star in action.
