In the April American Magazine
-Charles A. Stono of the electrical en
gineering firm of Stone & Webster
tells the following story of a college
boy who camo to him for employment.
"He was tho son of a very promi
nent and influential family. His par
ents wanted us to train him. At col
lego he had been cutting a wide swath,
and when I talked with him ho lot me
Joiow that a presidency, or at least a
general manager-chip, was Mont his
strength as a starter. I told him tho
best I could do for him would be to
' send him to Ponco as a car greaser,
'and it would be up to him how long he
remained at tho bottom. He surprised
me by immediately getting off his
high horse and saying ho was ready to
start greasing right away and, by tho
way, he stuck to his job with tho best
of tliom, and in three years, after
serving as conductor, motorman, su
perintendent of one department, and,
finally, manager, got an important po
sition with a very large traction company."
In the April American! Magazine is
an account of the fine old actress,
Mary Davis who has appeared before
American audiences for sixty-three
yeurs.
"Today, at eighty, she is playing
one of her most successful parts and
playing it on Broadway. If any other
actress on our stage has a longer rec
ord of service she is keeping the fact
for' her obituary notices. Mrs. Davis
has served tho stage long and faith
fully; but her servico has not stopper
thoro. She has brought four children
into tho world, taught her sons how to
suve and her daughters how to cook,
and help in the training of her six
1 grandchildren.
"In a character part in 'Old Lady
31,' her play of this season, when she
hobbles onto the s'.-nge with tho aid of
a cane, Mrs. Davis looks her four
score yours. But once in the wings
she tosses away tho sticK, straightens
up her stoop and hops around with
real ngility."

ARC A DE
That in spite of long contact with
Americans, the average Mexican peon
still retains the superstitions and
traits of his ancestors, is brought
forth in the Je3se L. Lasky produc
tion "The Evil Eye," which will be
seen at the Arcado on Friday and
Saturday with the beautiful Blanche
Sweet in the stellar role. It is a
Paramount picture.
This thrilling story by Hector Turn
bull was founded upon an occurrence
in one of the vineyards in California's
famous wine producing country. In
the photodrama as in tho actual in
cident from which the story was writ
ten, a woman doctor was sent to the
Mexican settlement to suppress a
diphtheria outbreak among the labor
ers and their families. In order to
examine the throats of her patients,
the doctor wore ono of the familiar
electric lamps in her forehead. Sev
eral of the peoplo examined by the
physician wero beyond recovery and
shortly died. The superstitious Mex
icans promptly decided that they had
been killed by "the evil eye" on the
doctor's forehead and promptly de
vised a plan to capture the woman
and burn out her eyes. How the plan
is frustrated through the cleverness
of the owner of the vineyard, and how
ho and tho fair physician are finally
united, is brought about in a number
of unusual scenes.
Prominent in support of Miss
Sweet are Tom Forman, Webster

June Caprice took Boston by storm
on her recent trip to attend the Mo

film stars from every part of the
country, many of them also native

player outshone them all. The others
were sons and daughters of whom the
old Bay City was proud; June was -its

Modern Cinderella" just to make that
visit.

Girls Don't Know How a Baby Creeps.
If 1 Were Twenty -one Again.
I would not try to be a business
specialist.
I'd keep as far away as possible
from tho engineering schools.
I should try to train myself to be
a common-sense business executive.
I think 1 should first have gone to
college. I would not take my college
course too seriously; at least I'd not
take my degree very seriously.
In college I would be neither a
sport nor a grind.
I'd rather be business manager of i
tho football team than the half back
who made tho winning touchdown
against Yale.
I would not seek a salaried position
of any sort until I was 25.
I would become a salesman or a
canvasser on a commission basis.
I should keep my independence un
til I was 25. Then if I were willing
to work for another man at a stipu
lated salary, d should at least be able
to feel that my decision had not been
made without some conception of
what I could accomplish when unaided
by that man's capital and business
standing.
If I couldn't afford a law course at
a state university whi-h has a good
short course in law, I should get a
clerkship in a law office with the priv
ilege of using the library for purposes
of study. If I lived in a large city
and had the opportunity to attend a
night school, I should do so.
I should do a gre,at deal of reading.
I should read many books. I should
read the standard novels to get a good
way of expressing my thoughts. I
should study the great philosophers,
but with the temper of an iconoclast.
The study of philosophy is a wonder-
Cambridge, March 17. (United
Press) Twenty Radcliffe girls wore
asked by Prof. George E. Johnson of
Harvard how many different ways a
baby creeps. They could think of on
ly two. Prof. Johnson derided their
ignorance and said he asked twenty
Harvard students tho same question
and got seven answers, to-wit; They
creep on all fours. They hitch along,
using their hips for navigation. Some
roll along like a ship in a stormy sea.
Some, instead of creeping forward,
creep backward. Some move on their
hands, lifting their bodies as a man
would on crutches. Some move for
ward with hands and feet in front, like
a rabbit. Some put their heels in
front of them, propelling themselves
along. This test proved, the profes
sor said, that the boys were more ob
serving and had better memories than
the girls.
College
College is an institution of learn
ing, An institution of learning what?
O, almost anything.
Ball of all kinds, for instance: high,
; foot, base, basket, hand and fancy
dress.
College is where some youths go
to study Broadway. These young men
return home at the end of four or
five years, if ;.t all, with the degree
of D. D. D., or Doctor of Drinks and
Debts. They qualify by spending
dad's money in largo quantities, their
days in bed and their evening in high
collars and low comedy. College for
them is one grand round of toots and
tutors.
Occasionally some obsolete per&un
goes to college to get an education.
