'"Sins of Her Parent." This is Mbs Brockwell's first starring vehicle, and it is a story which called for all the versatility of the charming actress. In the first part of the story, Mis Brockwell nortravs a vounc faetorv girl of Virginia, "V;.lerie MaVehmont an innocent, trusting creat-.ire. who scarcely knows right from wrong. Later Valerie migrates to Alaska, and completely changes character. In stead of the unsophisticated girl of the southern factory huts, she becomes a brazen woman of the northern deuce halls. She knows everybody, drinks with everybody, and gives herself up to a life of unrestrained abandon. In the midst of this wild and dis orderly life, Valerie has to pose in nun's costume for an artist, who has seen traces of the real mother's beau ty through the mask of the danc& hp.'.l woman. And she has to assume the saintly expression of the Madonna, even while conscious of the' lowness of her life on the outside. But this is not all that Gladys BrockeH hhs to do. While playing tho part of the Alaskan, she also has to portray an innocent girl of New Eng land, the daughter of Valerie March mont. The girl's name is Adrian, and she is a polished, well educated so ciety girl, sharply in contrast to the mother. All these various women were tak en by Gladys Brockwell. The years nf experience which the talented actress has had on the stage and before the camera served her in good stead. Her marvelous powers of facial change were called into use again and again, in showing the shades of difference between one character and another. "I didn't mind changing character," said Miss Brockell, when "Sins of Her Parent" had been, cut and shipped east. "That was comparatively easy to one who has done any screen work at all. But what I objected to most was the constant change of costume. It wore out my patience, and put my maid out of sorts. This latter is the worst calamity that can happen to any woman.

Ct tter get mud with the feller called Me Than with anyone else on caith. He's so blind sometimes that he can not see The gifts that were his at birth. He stumbles and trifles and goes astray Instead of just going right on Up tho straight and narrow and tmthest way To the golden gardens of dawn. Better get -wise to the feller called Me Tnt iirst thing that you do; it wi'l help so much in the day t- m To put what you want to through S .udy him over and take his size, And probe him clear down to the deeps, ' " And learn by his ears and his nose and his eyes What bad in his nature sleeps. Better pick quarrels with the feller called Me Than with anyone else you know; Tonder him over from A to Z, And watch him wherever yon go. For every weakness you find and cure Will be something to set you ahead In the path that is straight and fine and sure That your soul is destined to tread. Folger McKenzie in the Baltimore Sun. O. A. C Is Economical. By H. Hamilton United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Jan. 18. Orecron Agri cultural college didn't defeat the Uni versity of Pennsylvania at football; neither did it win the championship of tho Pacific Coast. But it did do one thing deserving of credit when it kept expenses for its football team down to an average of $295 a man for the 1916 season. Nearly all this average was spent ; jn paying traveling expenses of the players, $205 a man being doled out m his fashion. Twenty men were in cluded in the transportation list. Coaching for fifty men came to $35 a man, and personal ecpiipment for thirty-two men hit $47 a head. Medi service for fifty men was $8 each. Dr. A. D. Browne, head of the O. A. C. atheletic department, decided some years ago that the college that pays him annual salary was getting far under the average in cost for football and he conducted a questioning of important universities, discovering that they were paying an average of $10 a man more than the aggies. Cheapness is a matter of compulsion with Oregon Agricultural, however, for the books closed on the 1916 sea son show a deficit of $1,222.40 on th home field, and a surplus of only $2, 247.19 on foreign grounds. Next year expenses are to be cut still more, for O. A. C. isn't like most colleges. It admits it wants to make a little cash out of the exploitation of its football teams, and likes to derive the benefit that comes from advertie infr. And 0. A. C. received quite a little publicity two years ago when it smashed things up generally in the middle west. The biggest game of the season will be played next fall in Portland, where the biggest hunk of cash came from last season. Not the Governor's Way.
