It was a happy day for the Times-
Recorder, among others, when the
men of Atriericus msde the decision
to adopt the Golden Rule aale plan,
it was something decidedly new far
this community and so full of tho
j ideals that.have been generally lack
ing among local business men a* be
tween themselves, and promised so
much in the way of the establish
ment not.pnly of h truce to end sus
picion and .rivalry, but a treaty of
peace and good fellowship forever.
It showed tho way to collective ef
fort for the upbuilding of good will,
, magnified lenterprise and compelling
. periuision’ for the wholesome and
sound extension of the retail trad
ing area qf Americua many fold. It
(promised the: very things Americua
I has long needed woefully.
I Some may have suspected a tself-
Jiah interest on the’part of thla nows-
;paper, since one of the essentials
' tho plan was widespread adver-
ng. The business result has been
■stifying, but we must say that thia
itturc has been a surprise. It hud
{ten our expectation that tho first
slid probably other curly monthly
“Me occasions would moan actual loss

{^prehension that many Arms would

Ftierchant’a bargain space and for

Seir advertising for tho month, or

' *uld not lose in the end, however,

if any of them had returned, hut nury bora ao well that, unlike his wife, ha
a one Imd ^showed up—nml here it j knew the danger of leaving the
family for even the half of nn In-

Mr. Fifteen-Spine Stickleback (who
was always ninddereij aristocratic
not only because ha was handsome
and hail fifteen sharp spines on hi*
back, which atood up proudly, but
because he had such a lung hlgh-
voundlng name) was *o indignant he

everything, and Mrs. Stickleback not
caring a lend dime about anything
A» Mr. Stickleback confided to the
Twins, he had built the nest to begin
with—and a beauty it was, all made
up of glistening coralline tea-weed
and shaped like a large pear—and
now he had to atay home an() watch
It, to aee that no greedy neighbor
nine along and ate up the eggs
atnnt. And If he did not leave, how

Stickleback did not come soon, how

"You see," he won) on Ulkatlvely,

DR. BARTON’S DAILY LETTER
BY DR. WM. E. BARTON.
The early races of mankind were
bearded.
It would be Interesting to examine
the protraita cf different generations
and nationalities and -to discover to
what extent portraits could lie as
signed to their proper places in his
tory by the record of the work of
the raxor.
In Greece shaving the face came
in with Alexander. He was a young
king, and it beeame popular to ap
pear young.
Greek sculpture commonly repre
sented beardless men, for the rea
son that the sculptors largely chose
athletes for their model), and these
were young nten. But when they
chose ideal types, as Homer or
Sophocles, they made them bearded—
Homer with a long ond flowing
beard, 8ophoclea with
arrive when men will be as proud of
a good beard as they now are of a
smoothly shaven face, and they will
rejoice in their deliverance from the
tyranny of the raxor.
The day may come when even
side whiskers are popluar again.
But let ua hope that that will be
after ihost of us are dead.
How would Michtlangelo have got
ten on with hit statue of Moses if
ho received in an automobile acci-
him as beardless?
There is something to be said for
the beard.

THE CONFESSIONS
OF A MOVIE STAR
CHAPTER XVII—
I DREAD FIRST BEDROOM SCENE
jyjOTIIERDEAR didn’t sleep very
well that night. More than
once I realized that she was arrang
ing a rever over me.. In 'ri <«ily
duwn, site 'rtw the shade;: :c t!nl
i cautd sleep late.
So mu:!) trouble •alio took for me!
All the money I wux earning d:.ln’t
make iife a bit easier for her. The
higher I climbed nnd the harder I
worked, the harder 1 made life for
her. - Once 1 told her ro nnd she re
plied:'
“Why, little daughter, that’a whnt
i mother in for!”
, t did hot knoyV about that hut I
Coo'd sec that I never could earn n
salary of six figures if Motherdeur
had not been behind me with her
own special brand of morale.
I had one regret connected with
Rose’s dinner: I hadn't asked her
with whom Cjshy Sheldon hail fallen
so violently in love.
It really, didn’t matter to me so
much ua an explanation of whut was
making'Cissy so dependable. I jvns
grateful to any girl who could per-
formi that miracle..- It helped my
own work tremendmfsiy to have Cis
sy arrive on time at the studio, and
be wide awake when he arrived.
I wanted to know the girl to whom
I was ro indebted. Certainly it was
nobody in the atudios. I named them
over. Ciasy had flirted outrageously
with some of our beauties. And
more than one of them complained,
with Glnettc, that Cissy was a piker!
He wasn’t spending n dollar on a
girl where formerly he had spent
i»n! J
' What a man apent on an evening’s
entertainment seemed to be the only
measure they N Had for a man.
I was glad Cissy was reforming
because “Love in Leash" - was
strenuous play, I didn’t want any;
retaken.
There wa3 a bedroom scene,'
Motlierdear had objected nml ' she
and Demaison had talked it over
and ahe admitted that the theater
owners and managers demanded such
ctuff nnd .that probably I couldn't ^
evade the demand any longer.
The bedroom stuff would go into
the reol as J'a vision.”
I belongetl to tha eighties in the
piny. I was the heroine, her mother,
nnd her grandmother. I was to wear
a nightie of the old atylO which but
toned high about the throat nnd had
long full sleeves with close cuffs,
it was of earn-colorqd satin—it would
“shoot” a pure white. It was so
quaint that I loved it. _ ■ .
Dick wus to be the villain, who,
after a struggle in my room, would
strangle me, Othello fashion.
Cisry was to come to the rescue, in
a hreak-away set which would per
mit the villain to escape from him.
That was the vision. Two genera
tions later. Cissy would unite on
time nml as our own dsaecndunta, we
would settle the family feud tot-
f
I was happy to postpone the love
scenes with Cissy us long ns possible.
I couldn’t bear to think of them, af
ter the revealing kiss which had com
pleted our lost picture. It had been
an initiation in on emotion hither
to unknown to me. It gave me a hint,
at last, of Motherdear'a rule for boys
and girls: Hands Offl
But 1 think I dreaded the bedroom
scene most on account of Dick’s part
in it. I didn’t want him to' touch’
me. An there was no way of fak
ing the struggle.
I dreaded It also on account of the
crowd of men which collects along
the chalkline when a bedroom set is
shot.
