CLOTHES—QUITS RAGS
Always when his admirers think
of little Jackie Coogan it is as a
member of that submerged society
which endures existence in rags, lb
has always been the child that lived
on the seamy side of the street, tin
heir to misfortune and the son of
poverty —at least on the screen.
v Soon, however, Jackie will be seen

Splendidly and with his hair, not
tousled nor unkempt, but decorously

TWAIN’S IDEA OF WHAT
ARTHUR’S COURT WAS LIKE j
The plumbing was bad in King .Ar
thur's Court.
There was no telephone system.
The brave knights, teh flower of .
chivalry, spent their time in eating, ;
drinking, slaying dragons, re.-cutng |
damsels, and fighting.
There were no carpets on the j
floor of King Arthur’s court—only
rushes. None of the knights thought
it worth while to learn to read and
write. Not one of them knew the
difference between a carburetor and
a spark plug. They believed that ,
Merlin was a mighty powerful magi- '
cian. Until the Yankee arrived. lie ;

First, he put the plumbing to
rights. Then he pulled the great ma
