What our national legislation seems to lack lacked—is tunefulness. We can in advantage in haying Mr. Dawes where he can pull a phone or fiddle from beneath his official desk and tune in on the deliberations of the august te. For instance, what could be more harn } have the dead rch in Saul, beating SWelling cadence as Henry Cabot Lod league of nations to the nowhere? What more enliven- ing than “The Rickety-Rackety Blues” to accompany Senator Heflin on one of his highest flights tering Seeds of Kindness” when Senator Caraway loose in one direction or another? What more appro- priate than “We Shall Meet, but We Shall M You” when Sen. Wadsworth goes hence, as he may, or “He Can Read His Title Clear” when Senator Jim Watson arises to explain why he doesn’t like Francis Heney as an investi- tor? And think of rollicking along on the fiddle with lagnus Johnson to the tune of “A Farmer's Life for Mine,” or “He's Feelin’ His Oats” when Senator Capper appeals for the downtrodden raiser of wheat? Why go on, when it is possible for the gentle reader to appeal to his own vision? The possibilities are beyond a few words to express and admittedly exceed the probabili- ties somewhat, but the Dawes candidacy should not be always ha "'s eye, see, our Saxo- onious lets Gisregarded by a music-loving nation. If given the unity, he no doubt will make all our laws sing lemselves into our consciousness as they never will ‘otherwise, and the soft and loud pedals will appear to us in their true values. Legislation to beat the band is "within our easy reach. Feeding the Hungry MOTLEY crowd of 800 hoboes, down-and-outers, ne’er-do-wells, and others of their ilk, filed into a “Tittle restaurant in Chicago, a day or’ so ago, and ate their fill without money or price. They were the guests “of Doug Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. Doug explained it thus: : Sat “You see, it’s like this: There is a kick in an act of charity or a kind deed for the one who does it and it “makes no difference whether the one he does it for eserves it or not. You get it in here,” tapping his breast, “if you understand what I mean.” It is fine that these poor outcasts were fed, but it | is finer that Doug and his wife have learned and ex- aplified the true philosophy of giving—that it is more ed to give than receive. The genuine, dyed--in-the- woo! charity is the purest selfishness in the world. Movie Science ‘HE GREATEST skill and the greatest ingenuity of many branches of science have been used and de- _Yeloped in the movies. ; 43 A new profession has arisen as a result, it is that of “movie engineer.” He directs the erection of huge tures, constructs miniature scenes in the laboratory performs all sorts of wonders, thru photography, toy-sized objects and landscapes. ‘This engineer has to be an artist, have a good work- ig knowledge of history, considerable ingenuity and ac- intance with all the “new stuff” of a technical de- tion that applies to his immediate work. ny shipwrecks, train wrecks and other disasters are d with correct models of toy size. Some things e done on a minute scale for large pictorial results, ile others are done in reality on a large scale, so that is impossible to tell which is which. Tn a recent big picture there was a thrilling battle be- feen a diver at the bottom of the ocean and a shark. The shark was real, but he was a baby shark—about ' two feet long. He was in a glass cage, just large enough for the man to stand erect. The shark was made to enormous by the way the photography was handled.
