An aerfal trapeze artist was to fall from the top of the tent, and several thou- sand extras were to register surprise, horror, and so on Dr. Murnau, the director, knew it would take more than the usual in- struction to get this shot. The camera was arranged to drop on a cable toward the ground, and this moving shot was to record the drama of the moment in the faces of the audience. They were told to look up and at a ‘lvvm signal to register amazed horror. hat they were not told was that 16 guns, some ear-splitting sirens and va- . rious assorted bedlam were to be re- leased at the same moment. Murnau got his realistic effect. Two women fainted dead away; others jumped almost out of their s Yells, near-panic—the usual reaction of a few hundred Americans under an abnor- mal condition, which was just what the director wanted. It's lots of fun being an extra. No boredom. You never know just what's going to happen next. And all for $7.50 a day. Lina Basquette had to reverse the usual romance procedure. Girls gen- erally announce their engagements. But Lina had to make an announce- ment that she is not engaged to Pev- erall Marley, is not going to be engaged to him, and doesn't intend to marry anybody for the time being. This formal statement, mailed to all concerned, is just another evidence of the strength of rumors in Cinemaland. Lina appeared with Marley in public a few times, and it seemed that a ro- mance rumor flew so quickly that their marriage was announced in print in several localities.

With the beginning of the Autumn quarter the earth forms a major con- junction with the planet Uranus. The seers warn that the craving for what is new will become an obsession with the people and will affect politics. Mars is clevated in a manner most threatening to Europe, and indications of war are strong where boundary lines are in dispute, Banks will develop greatly, and busi- [ ness will be stimulated as the Autumn advances, astrologers predict The moon promises prosperity to workers, and the outlook for American warm water and soap.

CRAIG. eptember 22, 1864.—Mayor Wallach | has sent to the Enrolling Bureau of the | District of Columbia the following let- ter, which was made public today: “As ample notice has begn given by | you to all who claimed a residence or were enrolled elsewhere to have their | names stricken from the enrollment in this District, I deem it but just to us that all claims for exemption from the draft here on that ground should be rejected by your board. “Doubtless many have allowed their names to remain on the enrollment here in the full knowledge that they were enrolled elsewhere, in the expectation, if drawn and exempted, they may by | chance escape being drawn in the other, as well as the chances of the quota of that other being filled without resort to the draft. “If persons drawn here are exempted from service on such ground after the ample notice that has been given it will operate very injuriously on the citi- zens of this District, and I, therefore, ask that they be held as liable to serv- ice here.” Draft mectings were held again In several city wards tonight. Efforts are being made by the draft associations of the different wards to aid the Govern- ment in completing the draft and also to see that each ward is given full credit for all enlistments which should prop- erly be accredited to it, in order that the number of men necessary to be drafted to make up the deficiencies may | be fair to each section of the city. Mary Kelly and Rebecca Smith, who | have been confined in the Old Capitol Prison upon the charge of repeatedly aiding soldiers to desert by furnishing them ecitizens’ clothing. have been sent to the female prison at Fitchburg, Mass., in charge of Capt.

The move- ment was ordered in conjunction with the recentiy impending battle between the Union force under Gen. Sheridan and the Confederates under Gen. Early in the Shenandoah Valley, which re- sulted in a victory for the Union arms. The raiders also destroyed . Liberty Mills and 4,000 parrels of flour about 6 miles above the Orange & Alexandria Railroad.

' Taking a Sporting Chance on Marriage Is Better Than Staying Single—Shall They Marry in Spite of Religious Differences? EAR MISS DIX: T am a young woman engaged to be married, but I hesitate to take the fatal step because so many of my friends say: “You are better off single,” and even those who seem to have made sful marriages say: “Marriage is all right, but I would nevér do it over aga j What is your idea of this? Why do so many feel this way about marriage? ONE WHO WANTS TO BE SURE. Answer: When you say that you “want to be sure” that your marriage will be happy, vou ask the impossible, No venture in life is an assured success. No matter what you do, you have to take your chances of disaster. You can't go down the street without the danger of being run over by an automobile, but the risk you are bound to take doesn't keep you sitting in the house all the time. You can't eat without the danger of putting a germ into your mouth, but that doesn’t make you starve yourself to death. You can't go into any business without the chance of failure staring you in the face, but that doesn't keep you from making an effort to succeed. And it is the same way with marriage. It may raise you up to heaven, or it may cast you down into hell. You may find in it perfect happiness, or utter isery, but there is no way to tell beforehand how it is going to turn out, and, vs offers you a sporting chance that is worth taking. You say some of your friends tell you that you are better off single. That depends _altogether on’ the kin, a judge of men at all, or have a grain of intelligence is easy enough to settle. If the man is a drunkard: if he is immoral and a petticoat chaser: if he are a great deal better off single than you would be married to him. Because there is no loneliness equal to the loneliness of the woman who watches night after night for the drag of a drunkard's footsteps coming home. - There is no woman's life so empty as that of the wife whose husband has forsaken her for younger and prettier women, and whose heart is torn by a thousand jealousies, And it is far less work for a woman to support hergelf than it is to support a husband and a houseful of children. But if the man you are proposing to marry is a fine, honest, industrious man, you most assuredly will not be better off single than ma ied to him, because marriage completes a woman's life and gives to her her instinctive craving for her husband, her children, and her home. No matter how hard a woman has to work, she is happier and better satisfied married than singie, so long as she has a husband who loves her and a | baby’s head on her breast. As for your married Triends who tell you that “marriage is all right, but they would never do it over again,” that is all piffie. Why, the sod has hardly settled on the grave, or the ink dried on the divorce, before practically every Widow and widower or divorcee is hunting up a new mate. Even those who have been unhappily married want to try it over again. They can't stand the loneliness of being without a companion. They want somebody to talk to all the time, somebody even to quarrel with. Somebody to look out for their comfort and provide them with the kind of food they like. They want somebody to make a home for, and somebody to make a home for them. Finally, take this for your comfort, that your marriage is what you make it, and if a thousand other marriages have failed all about you, it is no reason why you cannot make yours a success. DOROTHY DIX. . EAR DOROTHY DIX: I have been engaged to a young lady for the last five years. We love each other very devotedly, but we are of different religions. ~ This makes no difference to us, but some time ago my mother learned of the affair and worked herself into a dangerous physical state over it. We broke off, but secretly went back to each other. Lately friends and relatives of the young lady have begun to say things about our protracted courtship of an embarrassing and sarcastic nature. Now, what shall we do? Shall we continue on indefinitely, insensible to the scoffs, jeers and whisperings of the outside world, subduing our mutual d e for a home and a family? Shall we separate P | and break our hearts, as it would for us to part, or sheuld we defy parental wishes with possibly fatal results to haunt u: SWEETHEARTS. Answer: To me the most amazing thing in the world is, that there should be any one with so little understanding of what religion really is that he or she is willing to break the hearts and wreck the lives of two young pebple because they do not hold to the same creed. There is no religion in that, for God is Jove and the greatest commandment He gave us was to love one‘another. He didn't say a word about what we believed or what creed we held to. You are called upon, then, not to deal with religion, but with bigotry and fanaticism, and I see no reason why you should sacrifice your happiness and that of the girl to whom you are engaged to that. To prevent your marrying her, your mother has deliberately worked herself up into a nervous state. I have known many other women to do that same thing and to keep their whole families cowed for 20 or 30 years by threatening to die if they were crossed. But they don't do it, and the chances are that if you go along quitely and marry the girl and tell her afterward. mother will throw a hysterical fit and then settle down and accept the situation. Anyway, she is old and you are young. She has had her life, yours is yet to come. She is taking an uiterly unreasonable position. You are proposing’ to do nothing but what is perfectly right for you. to do, so I think you will be entirely justified in disregarding her, and marrying the woman you love. But since your mother Is such & fanatic, is it not possible for the girl to join your church? Creeds amount to so little in reality. They are only different pathways up to God. DOROTHY DIX. [DEAR DOROTHY DIX: The other night I was with a girl at a dance and was talking casually to her when she broke out with this: “I think you are simply divine. I love you.” For a moment my senses left me, but when they came back I thought the hest thing to do was to beat it. So I did and said to myself: “That's enough from you.” Was I right or wrong? FRED. oo Answer: You were right, Fred, if you wanted to save yourself. There are times when absence of body is better than presence of mind, and that was one of the conspicuous occasions. You remember what Mr. Kipling said about the female of the species being more deadly than the male. Especially is this true in love-making, and when a woman goes after a man with intent to marry him, there is no safety for him but in flight. This young lady is a ploneer wooer and startled you because she was the first woman who ever made love to you, but I prophesy that her example will be followed, and that in another generation it will be just as comman for a woman to propose to the women he desires. And there is no good reason why she *shouldn't. So you had just as well get accustomed to being made love to. After all, it can’t be unpleasant to be told that you are divine, And, of course, you can always say “no” if you don't want to marry the girl. DOROTHY DIX.

Anyway, you know what I mean and you may be one of the drogressive members of your commu- nity who have already begun to wear them. The idea of these new flat little curls really did come from the sculp- tured busts of anciest Greece. And be- fore the fashion was launched fash- ionable and influential coiffeurs in Paris doubtless spent hours in the Musee de Louvre looking with more than usual interest at the reproductions of the work done by their predecessors in Athens centuries ago. In going back to the Greek models of hairdressing they aimed high, be- cause it is an acknowledged fact that in no place and at no time did the art of hairdressing reach a higher level than in Greece in classic times. Sometimes these flat little curls are arranged at the side of the head as in- dicated in the sketch, sometimes there is a profusion of them all over the head. In one rather amazing coiffure I saw the other evening there was a row of them running in single file from the center of the forehead to the nape of the neck. It would probably be difficult to re- vive a fashion for wigs as they were worn “in_the eighteenth century, but the wig-like evening headdresses, in which silk floss is used instead of hair, are enjoying considerable vogue. They might be considered simply as closely fitting evening toques covered w neatly arranged strands of silk. I have seen very lovely ones in light yellow, pink, mauve or green. In pure white these evening head- dresses are most appropriate for wear with the bouffant skirted period frocks, suggesting as they do the white wigs worn by the hoopskirted ladies of the cighteenth century gram from which you may easily cut out a new fashioned baby jacket, with | directions for making and sketch of the little garment when completed.

Come uf) to his room and I'll show you some of his stuff.” in his room the father began to ex- plore for samples of his son’s fancies. The room itself was characteristic of modern youth. Photos of foot ball squads hung on the wall. There was an old Remington print of Indians and cowboys, and school emblems occupied other spaces. After searching through a writing desk the father found several of what he called “the kid's blurbs.” “Just read this junk and see what you think of it.” said he. We did. To our astonishment we discovered that it pos- sessed merit and told the father so. He was more amazed at our statement than we were at the boy's talent. It might be said that the poems were not so much of stars and moons as of he- two-fisted people, of fighting folk and virile men. They were Kiplingesque.

Todin Needed in Body. “please tell me whether unrefined salt (powdered rock salt) is better to use than the refined white salt. Does | white salt have a tendency to draw to jtself the minerals which have been | removed from it in the refining | process?"” M. | " Refining salt takes out the dirt and some of the minerals, so that it is left pure and white and fine. There is one clement which is lost in the refining | that experience has shown should not be lost, and that is a very small amount of fodin. TIodin is necessary for the normal body chemistry of both man | and animal. | ™1t is the thyroid gland that needs | the lodin especially, and if it doesn't | get it, it enlarges, forming a goiter. | In some localities the land apparently is leeched of its natural iodin, so the vegetation and water do not contain it. These localities are known as goiter | belts, for quite a large percentage of | the animal and human population suf- | fers from goiter in these regions. | Marine found that 90 per cent of the dogs in Cleveland are affiicted. In Michigan the farmers were about to give up the sheep industry because such a large percentage of the cattle developed goiter. They had been fed with salt obtained from remote sources. Salt mines were opened up in the vicin- ity of Detroit and the sheepmen began to use it for their sheep. It was soon found that the sheep were better in all respects, and the new litters were free of goiter and did not develop it after- ward. On investigation it was found that the local supply of salt had a mi- nute supply of iodin. At the request of the public health physicians the salt manufacturers are | making an fodized salt by putting back | the very tiny amount of iodin that has been removed. It is used extensively in these goiter regions with strikingly good results.
