NOT ALL HATE PIRATE OF THE SCREEN!
THEDA BARA SAYS SHE RECEIVES LETTERS FROM GIRLS PRAISING HER---ONE
PRAYS TO HER AS TO A MADONNA !
BY THEDA BARA.
Not all persons hate the scren Theda
Bara, linked by both fate and intent
with the character of a screen vam
pire.
Accustomed as I am, to receiving
bitter communications from persons
who misunderstand in part or in en
tirety of the purpose of the vampire in
the pictures, I am also accustomed t<>
receiving perhaps the most remark
able letters ever written to a woman
in all the world’s history.
For example, in this morning’s mail
came this letter from a girl in Green
ville, S. C.:
"Dear Theda Bara:
"As much as other women hate you,
just so much do 1 love you, almost
worship you. Perhaps, before people
have told you that they loved you, but
never before —I am sure—have you
been told this: every night before I go
to bed kneeling in front of your picture
as tothe Madonna, I say a wee prayer
that goes something like this: ’Theda
dear, even as you are beautiful in that
wild, fascinating way, grant, O, Lord,
that I will grow to be even one-half so
beautiful.”
A strange burden is imposed upon
one suddenly called upon to listen to
the confidences of thousands of per
sons. Since I have been writing these
articles I have received almost 20,000
letters from persons who follow my
writings and my work. Gould I regard
any one of these letters lightly?
Quite rhe contrary. I am busy pre
paring to answer each one.
Think of getting such a letter as this,
which came from Charton, O.:
“Some of our greatest ministers are
not accomplishing the good you are
at this moment. Your character roles
are sermons that touch deep into the
heart; sermans that impel of the real
ization of the sanctity of the home,
sermons that make men think.”
BABYOLOGY
SIMPLE SCIENCE BY WHICH MOTHERS MAY MAKE
THEIR BABIES BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHFUL
Baby never looks so cunning as when she is sucking her thumb... But
mother must stop the habit.
The third of a series of articles
n:ay follow to preserve the beauty
giving simple rules any mother
and health given a baby by nature.
CARE OF BABY’S MOUTH.
Don’t let the baby suck his or her
thumb!
It won’t hurt the thumb at all, but
it may spoii the child’s mouth, and inter
mar her beauty by a crooked mouth.
\on owe it to Baby to watch the
mouth, to guard it against malforma
tion and against such accidents as thick
lips or crookedness.

warn you to consider this point very
carefully.
t ’ lc European war broke out
$100,000,000 a year of American manu
factures were being sold in Russia by
Berman middlemen as German goods.
The credit and the future of that trade
was lost to America because it was indi
rect, because it was not controlled by the
American seller. American goods were
making a reputation for Germany—not
America. That amount of business must
now be handled direct or not at all.
"Another thing to be considered is that
Russia, after the war, will be a different
country' from Russia before the war"
said Mr. Martens. "The trading after
the war is going to be far different from
that which existed before the war, espe
cj“ly because the Russian populace, ISO -
000,000 strong, hy the war has received
an extraordinary education. The Rus
sian peasants have been drawn by the
war far from their home surroundings,
which have been unchanged for genera

seeing new sections of Russia, new con
dltions and new cities. They have seen
trench diggers, motor cars, field kitchens,

highly civilised community, and which
before the war. they had never heard of.
Those things have made a lasting Im
pression on their minds, for the Russian
peasant has an extraordinary power of
observation, assimilation and imitution.

Letter of City Attorney Peebles To Mayor
Littleton Transmitting Draft of Ordinance in
Regard To Georgia Terminal Gompany Matter
Augusta Ga . May 18th. 1916.
lion .Tames R Littleton, Mayor City of Augusta.
Augusta. Ga.
Dear sir: In compliance with your request. I
have drafted form of Ordinance for grant of a
tianehise to the proposed now Termtnal Company
which Mr. Hrand intends organling for a period of
25 years, and herewith enclose you copy thereof.
This Ordinance is the product of numerous confer
ences between Mr. ltrand, Bryan Gumming. Ksq..
til*- Joint t'ommittoe from Council and t'anal t’om
mission, representatives from various business inter
ests, including the M. A- M . and myself.
As a member of the Joint Committee from Conn
eil and the t’anal Commission, 1 do not wish to
be understood as approving tills Ordinance, my po
sition simply being that if an exclusive franchise
for 25 years is going to be granted, the Ordinance
herewith enclosed, with the suggestions herein con
tained, in my opinion, will protect the interests of
the city a-* fully as 1 have been able to do so.
The methods adopted whereby tills draft has been
evolved are as follows About three weeks ago. 1
made a rough draft of hu ordinance and submitted
it to Messrs. Hrand and Cumming. They, in turn,
submitted me such changes as they saw fit to sug
gest. I then ma le such changes as l thought nec
ccHsary in their draft. The result has been a con
stant interchange of proposed drafts between us, and
tlie enclosed is my final form of draft.
It should he noted that If Council permits the Ter
initial Company to go to the Eastern side of Elbert
street as per the I'.rand-Cumming draft of the ordl
nance, it will not lie necessary tor it to procure any
further authority from the city to go East of or lie
low Elbert street until it strikes another street In
order to hedge against tills proposition, you will note
• bat. in my draft. I have provided that the Eastern
terminus shall be on the Western side of Elbert street
I have in my possession a final draft of the Hrand
and Cumming ordinance handed me yesterday by Mr.
Brand, in which It is promised that as to the Au
gusta & Summerville tracks, on the expiration of the
present contract, the right of user of the Augusta &
Summerville tracks and the streets covered by that
contract .would lie open to adjustment. My draft
provides that their rights shall terminate In March,
1926. but that the expiration of tills contract shall
not affect the Terminal Company’s use of its own
tracks for n full period of 25 years. I think 11 the
part of wisdom not to give Ht this time ihe Ter
initial Co. any implied right lo use. these tracks after
Marcli 20, 1926. Consequently. I have provided
that they shall have tin rights as lo the Augusta
A*. Summerville tracks unless council confer the same
after the expiration of the present contract, in which
event, such tracks as to charges shall be treated
as a continuation of the Terminal Company’s own
line. If the contract is renewed the Hrand-Cum
ming draft also provides the A. and S. tracks shall
lie treated ns one line us to rates.
Tlie Brand-Gumming draft (Par 15) proposes that
the other railroads shall have the right of user of
its main track from its Western terminus at Inter
section of Mclntosh street and the I<evee and its
Eastern terminus at intersection of Elbert and Bay
streets, and (or) its tracks on Washington street
which may connect with the Southern Railway and
(or) with (he track formerly owned by Augusta ami
Summerville in said street, and (or) the tracks In
Bay street, leading from the terminus nt Elbert street
to Center street, serving the City Wharf, for the pur
pose of making interchanges with each oilier, and In
making deliveries to and from the City Wharf, upon
an equitable basis to lie determined by arbitration.
At the suggestion of certain meridiem of council
and on my own volition, I have included in Para
graph 1 of Section 15 of Ordinance drafted by me
In lieu of the substance of the proposition In Brand
Cumming ordinance, that only the tracks above
named should he used by other companies upon an
equitable basis .the provision trial the use of all
tracks of the Terminal Company should lie granted
to all the railroads upon an equitable basis.
I might add that Mr Brand lias authorised me
to state that if council should see fit to provide for
(tic use of all the tracks of the Termtnal Company
by tlie other roads upon an equitable basis, that he
will not accept tlie franchise.
Tlie argument is used that as other roads have an
exclusive right of user of their industrial or side
tracks leading to industries or warehouses, it would
not lie fait to the Terminal Company to permit
other railroads to compete with the Terminal Com
pany (in effect the Georgia K R ) as to business
located on said industrial or side-tracks leading to
warehouses or industries This argument is not
without weight. Coder file Brand proposition, other
roads could pay the right of user to go to City
Wharf, tint could not use sidetracks to warehouses
along the tracks of Terminal Company, hut Would
have to deliver shipments destined to such ware
houses to the Interchange track of tlie Terminal Co.
who would then deliver the same to tlie warehouse
on tlie line of the Terminal Co . and collect from
the other carrier a transfer charge. This trans
fer charge would not he absorbed by the other
transportation company, as I understand it. except
when tlie element of Competition enters Into a ship
ment sufficiently strong to bring about the absorp
tion.
For example, as to a carload of freight moving
to or from Savannah to a warehouse or Industry on
the line of tlie Terminal Company, the switching
charge of the Terminal Company would tie absorb
ed by the line which handled tlie freight, because of
the element of competition. On the other hand, on
n shipment moving from any local station on any
railroad. Hip switching charge of tho Terminal Co.
would le In addition to tin* rate, and would be paid
by tlie public, and would not tie absorbed by the
railroad company. in other words, when It is a
competitive through rate, the charge Is absorbed, but
when a local rate is Involved, the charge is added.
You will note that tin- ordinance, as drafted, doe*
not contemplate a Joint Terminal Company that Is a
joint owner.-liip by nil the railroads, such a; the
Aughsta A Summervi 11- tracks are’ now operated un
der. Tie* objection which has been urged to this
Joint ownership is that If you wanted n sidetrack
under a joint ownership proposition, the consent, of
nil the roads would have to be obtained to put in
the side-track, anti a majority of the companies op
posed to river traffic or the development of the riv
er. could possibly hamper the development thereof.
As a compromise between Joint and exclusive
or monopolistic ownership, it has been suggest
ed, and to my mind is really the sensible tiling
from the standpoint of the ultimate {good of
the city, that the franchise t*e granted under the
conditions set forth In tlie Ist paragraph of Section
15 of the enclosed ordinance as »•> the use of all tlie
tracks on an equitable basis, safeguarding the same
with the arbitration provision. I'nder tills arrange
met it ,if a side-track were wanted, the only road to
lie consulted would be the Terminal Company, ami
the other roads would have to run and operate their
locomotives and cars on this terminal company's
tracks under reasonable rules and I emulations of the
Terminal Company, which rules would apply alike
to the Terminal Company. This, in effect, would
constitute the relation of Landlord ami Tenant, the
Terminal Company owning the tracks, and prescrib
ing tlie rules (or the operation thereof, and tlie otiier
lords would have the use of the tracks, paying an
equitable sum therefore; tills equitable sum being
based upon the cost of tlie propertied of the Termi
nal Company and a reasonable return to the Ter
minal Company for its investment, and also tlie cost
of necessary up-keep, maintenance and renewals. I
understand the general method is that the tenant
luies pay a reasonable return oil tlie investment In
volved, and then a proportionate share of mainten
ance, Upkeep, etc . oil the basis of user.
If city council should decide, however, to rfestrlct
tlie right user by other railroads to the main line
and certain other tracks proscribed In the paragraph
(Section 15) of tlie ordinance drafted by me. as
war. developed in a conversation with a represent*
live of business interests. It. is of the most urgent
necessity. I consider, that council provide that It have
the option in the future to require the right of user
from and alter March 20, 1926 by all railroads upon
(inequitable basis to no determined by arbitration. I
ray "urgent m'malty,” so ’bat. in the event some
future council should j*erinlt ’ Terminal Co. to ex
tend its tracks to East Boundary, and practically
do away with tlie necessity of the Augusta A Burn
merville it K except as to a few industries, the
council would U* in a most disadvantageous position
v.hen It undertakes to readjust tie railroad situa
tion. which will have to be re adjusted from Marcli
20. 1926 If you will make this provision and df*
tide to grant to tlie Termtnal Co. the rights and
franchises. I cannot see where the interests of the
city, shippers and Terminal Company would not be
protected amply and fully under tills ordinance.
As to Transfer Charges under Hec. 15 of Hrand
Cumming ordlainca, tnave is a provision that 0m
transfer charges now in operation as to tlie other rail
loadi shall remain until March 29, 1920—that Is
tlie Terminal Company will be and Income a party
to tlie railroad contract of February 18, 1897. Their
draft of this ordinance is that after the expiration of
said contract on March 20, 1926 "upon tlie termi
nation of tlie effective period of such contract, or
any renewal thereof, for transfers of like character,
and for such service, the Terminal Company will
charge a consignor or consignee not exceeding one
dollar per <ar for such local transfers, during tlie
remainder of Its franchise, except where the railroad
or railroads to or from which the transfer is made
charges the Terminal Company for the movement of
the car upon such otiier railroad or railroads' tracks,
and, In that event, the Terminal Company will charge
in addition to said $1 pgr car only such amount as
It is necessary to reimburse It for the amount that
it Is required to pay such other railroad or rail
roads."
lo other words, the agreement hi make a maximum
}2 00 charge is dependent upon the renewal of tlie Au
giiHtH A Hun.merville contract. It may tat that on
March 20, 1920. the city may not wish to renew this
contract, or It may decide to require the taking up
of the Augusta A Hummervllle tracks In Washing
ton street Tlie Hrand Cumming ordinance does
not agree that If. after March 20th, 1926, the
other railroads are held to a maximum charge of 91
over their own lines, or to 92 P«*r ear over more
than one line, the maximum charge of |2 i>er car
shall not be Increased by reason of the transfer's
having to la* made over the tracks of the Terml
ns I Company
My draft would. I think. Insure a maximum rate
of 12 per car after Marcli, 1926 as long as die otiier
iallroads are held to a maximum charge of Si over
their own line, or to 92 per car If over more than
one line
I nder tlie Hrand Cumming ordinance, there ia no
provision compelling the Terminal Company to furn
i-ti ears for transfer* from the Host-line As I
understand that the bait offered Uni city for this
valuable franchise Is to develop River Traffic. I see
no reason why the city should not Insist upon tlie
proposition that tills Terminal Company ►ball furn
hdi cars and shall make local transfers The Hrand
Cumming ordinance state* that the Terminal Com
pany will "undertake to furnish these cars," but
does not obligate to furnish them
i have not attempted to set forth all the minor
differences between the Brand « umrnlng draft and
my draft of this ordinance, but simply to stress and
call attention to some of the vital points of differ
eni’c Involved
Mine is not a legislative function, and I do not
mean, by this letter, to dictate to city council what
It shall or »hall not do I merely wish to put my
self on record, mi that, If council shoo Id k<-4 into
muddy water* In respect to this Franchise, It can
