Last week Mrs. Wallace Reid was in Néw York doing some general pre- liminary wogk before the release of her picture, “Human Wreckage,” | which will show the evil of the drug habit and the hideous results thereof. | Mrs. Reld also paid a visit to Wally's | mother while she was in the east Among ‘thé film Circles wherein I fo i o ; . i I | ] MRS, WALLACE REID. move there has been considerable dis- | n‘ concerning the aforemen- Yioned and forthcoming production of | “Human "Wreckage,” the proceeds of | which are to go, I understand, to the | maintenance of a hospital for drug | addicts on the western coast. . Some are for thé picture and others are against it. The ones who are against | 1t seem to feel, so far as I can tell" that it will be a bad thing for Wal- | lace Réid, jr., because, when he grows | up and is able to realize facts dim | to him now, the drug evil and Cox_xtest' Candidates. | Ryan joined Phiilips in the garden. | Spring weather demanded that the | ‘weekly conference- or'centest or con- fab of the two old schoolmen should | be held in the open and Phillips elung to his garden. ¥ Ryan seated; himself on a boulde that made the background for the rose briars Phillips was coaxing te- ward the way they should gp, and lighted ‘Ris pipe with' difficulty. He used threé matches, which was always 2 bad sign. “What's gone wrong?’ demanded Phillips, taking the other end of the big stone and lighting up cheerfilly. “Tm put out. McNab got another charge against him today. Miss Anne gave it to him for speaking in his- tory ‘recitation, and that counts him out of the essay contest.. And he was a sure winner! “But what has his:speaking out in the history class got to do with his entering the contest?” | “He's got-ten charges against him.” - groaned -Ryan, “and how. can I let A boy who ias ten. charges agaimst him represent the school in. the county:contest?” §5rTs “Ten’ charges?

On the other hand, M Reid must feel that the showing of the picture will affect| €0 many thousands of lives contra- wise that the good will supersede the bad. ‘What do you all think? I don't know about ultimate results, but it does seem to me that if we are to believe in the essential rightness of human nature it must have been— must be—a very gallant and cou- rageous thing for Mrs. Reid to do, so soon after her own tragedy.. If the picture comes as an appeal and a warning from a heart broken be- | cause of that particular human | wreckage, which was Wally's bright | career, then it must of necessity evoke ‘a powerful response. While she ‘was in town Mrs. Reid who looked very wan and white and pitiful, said that she believ. the drug ‘evil should be openly and frankly combated just as in the case| of the tuberculosis evil, or the leper | colony, or the insane asylums, or any of the'dread afflictiong, mental, moral and physical, to which frail humanity is miserable heir. If, she affirms, we are to hide drug addiction as a shameful, hopeless, fatal thing, w are simply going to drive the unfo tunate victims under a cover which will of necessity prevent their buius | able to make an.open-afr fight. She says that it is because those father's . name joined in the | who can help them do not know, or | learn, of thejr plights soon enough that some of the cases e “hopeless.

He'll tie McNab to the perch!” "By the bones of the owl, he won't!" thundered Ryan, smacking his palm with his pipe. "By the eagle's pen feathers, he will,” chortled Phillips, “and may the best bird win.” . (Copyright, 1923.y —_— Milk and Vegetable Soup.

At least that is what she thought, or pre- tended to think. Right down in her heart she knew better. She knew that she wasn't abused at all. She knew that she had simply been pun- ished as she deserved to be. But spoiled little people are quite apt to think themselves abused when unex- pectedly they are punished. It was just so with ‘Littlest Bear. So Littlest Bear sulked and sulked as she tagged along after Mother Bear and Brother and Sister. Brother and Sister had had a feast of fish. but Littlest Bear had had only the littlest fish, and that was hardly more than a bite. “I hate them! 1 do so, 1 hate them!" said Littiest Bear to herself, Of course, she, didn’t do anything of the kind. ' She was simply trying to make herself think she did. “I'll go way off where they will never see me again, and then I guess they will be sorry,” she continued. “Yes, sir, I'll run way, way, way off. I'll run way, way, way off where they'll never see me again. Probably Mother Bear will hunt and hunt and hunt, and she'll wish and wish and wi she never bad treated me s0.” Still, Littlest Bear tagged along be- hind. ‘It was one thing to say that she would run away, &nd-quite an- other thing to do it. But she kept lagging farther and farther behind. She tried to_make herself believe that Mother Bear was walking too Mother Bear was walking fast, Littlest Bear could have kept up without any trouble if she had wanted to. She kept expecting Mother Bear to wait for her,” as Mother Bear had been in the habit of doing. But Mother Bear didn't wait. This fact angered Littlest Bear still more. “It's because she doesn’t care about me any more,” grumbled Littlest Bear to herself. “She don't care what be- comes of me. If she did, she would ,mitu.f.?r me. Tl run away. I will * Yittiost Bear est down Mother Bear and Brother and.

Mother didn't Littlest Bear started off in another direction as fast as her short legs would take her. She actually was running away. Yes, sir; she if Mother Bear Bear | actually was running away She didn't pay any attention to where she was going. There was only one thought in that fooish little head of hers, and that was to get as far she could before Mother Bear would discover that she was no longer following. So she ran and ran and ran and ran until she was quite out of breath, and until her short legs fairly ached. Then she climbed a tree. Little Bears always feel safer in a tree. For that matter, big Bears often seem to feel safer in a tree. So Littlest Bear climbed a tree where in a crotch and prepared to take a rest. She didn’t_intend to go to sleep. but she did. You know she was still a very small Bear, and she was very tired. She was asleep almost before she had had time to wonder if Mother Bear had begun to look for her vet. (Copyright, 1023, by T. W.

SOURCE—An occupation. 1t the family name of Weightman had not been developed until modern times it would be, in all Ifkelihood, customs collector. This thought leads at least to the realization that the medieval English often had simpler ways of saying things than we often have today. The “welghtman' of.medigval Eng- land was, indeed, but a customs col- lector for the king. His duties con- sisted in weighing and assessing the taxes on certaln types of merchan- dise, such as dry goods and raw ma- terials of various classes, principally bulk goods. He did not, however, have anything to do with liquids, for in those days the traffic in “wet goods’ was suffi- ¢lently imppmant to warrant the maintenance of separate officials to guage and measure them, just as there were separate collectors through whose hands had to pass articles of exceptional vdlue, such as precious metals and gems. At first the “weightman” was known by the Norman teym of “le Poyser” or “le Peiser,” for the scales he used were instruments on which the weights were balanced or poised Later, however—and it seems at this time that the family name was devel- oped—his title returned to the Saxon form. and he was “le Waiur,” le Weigher” and “le Weight- Arnabel Waorthen gton This comfortable negiige shirt that is sultable for man or boy cuts in sizes 123, 13, 1332, 14, 14%, 15, 2%, 51z, 16. 161, 17, 17%, 18, 18% and 19 | | inckes neck measure.

They are never allowed to make cloudy skies an excuse for staying home when duty calls them out. They pay no at- tention to bad weather except to prepare for it in the way of donning raincoat and rubbers, and sally forth \ feeling the natural joy of opposing winds and bracing cold, and the tang of raindrops on the face.

Your hair simply needs frequent and regular washing to keep it beautiful, but it cannot stand the harsh effect of ordinary soap.
