Stocks vs. Bonds Some Advice for
Women Who Want to Invest
In the April Woman's Homo Com
panion Harold Howland gives some
good advice to women who wish to in
vest. He urges bond investments with
safe and Buro profits.
"For there," h sayB, "you have the
maximum of security and the mini
mum danger of loss. You want an in
vestment in which your money will be
safe. You are not going to take it out
of the old stocking hidden in the chim
ney or the ticking of the mattress,
where you know it is safe, and run
risks with it. In that you aire wise.
'Safety first!' is a perfectly good mot
to for the small investor as well ns for
the wayfarer. Tho price that you pay
far your sense of security is the low
rate of return on your money.
"If you wimt a little higher return
on your investment, and are willinc to

you invest wisely, your (risk is only

"Do not buy common stock for in

your inquiry will lend you into tho fas

But if you keep your head in its in

son why you should not keep your
feet."
"SAVE THE BABIES"
These are authentic quotations from
the pamphlet on babies by Dr. L. Em

L. K. Shaw of Union University.
To avoid infection keep tho baby's
room free from soiled clothes and rub
bish. Don't let the baby play with
cats and dogs. They carry disease to
babies. Do not let the baby crawl
around on n dirty floor or a dusty car
pet. Place him on a clean sheet or

Revenge Motive Makes "Bitter
Truth" Film of Unusual Interest
A theme of revenge, conceived in
tho bitterness of a moment of sorrow,
keeping dominant throughout a long
term of years, and finally spending its
force only after it is about to ac
complish its purpose, lends its inter
est to the neweBt Virginia Pearson
picture which William Kox has pro
duced, "Bitter Truth."
Miss Pearson as Anna is a typical
girl of the East Side. Jock Hopkins
ploys tho role of lover and crook,
Anna Is arrested when her lover is
arrested and when she loaves the
prison she believes her one mission in
life is to seek revenge on the man
who sentenced her.
After many stirring scenes Anna
arranges with the opposition forcflu
to place tho Judge In ft compromising
position bo as to spoil his crtii.ite to
win at the coming eleetio.t.
But the old, old story of lovo is
greater tmuv hate .crop 3 out and in
the end Anna exposes tho cli iue that
is working against the juu?'. and re
turns to her old lover who has also
been released from Ptiso,i,
SOMEWHERE IN THE ATLANTIC
(Dean Collins)
There was no-flicker of bunting; there
was no blare of: bands;
There was no roar, of cheering, nor
flarcwell waving of hands;
But gray as mist in the wind blown
free
They melted away on the shrouding
sea;
Somewhere, menacing, still and great,
America's First Line lies in, wait.
So we may argue at leisure and frac
tions of hair divide;
And we may dispute on the Curbstone
11 the war be justified;
And we may hear t'raitorrtSS tiabble
artd stand unmttvM 111 the street;
We may hdair, 'atfene sneering and not
strike IhMn down at our feet:
We m.y fiuibblo about The Service and
ay: "It is thus and thus."
for We know when the first bolt shat
ters, it will not shatter on us.
For while we prattle, unheard, un
seen, The great, grey shield moved out
'between,
And samewhere, dutiful, strong and
great,
America's First Line lies in wait.
So we may sit in the clubrooms and
toast our shins by the fire,
And point to the flaws in The Service
and the changes it may require,
And entertain a discussion, between
our gossip on sport,
On the strength of the Administration
and whether it merits support;
So we may yawn o'er our coffee a
what politicians have said
For we feel, when the first blood
trickles, it will not be from our
head;
For somewhere, wakeful and calm
and keen
Our guard, unquestioning, stands
between.
And somewhere steady, alert and
great
America's First Lino lies in wait.
So we may look up from our papers
and tell with a humorous twist,
How we if we weren't too busy
would work to get men to enlist
We may even boast, o'er our grape
fruit, how our citizens proud
land free,
Will rise when the need is pressing
and "sweep 'em into the 6ea,"
Wo may view with amusement, maybe
the feverish stir and fuss;
For wide is tho sea and the country,
and the foeman is far from us;
And somewhere, out on tho sea,
they bear
The weight of tho duty that we
should shnre;
Somewhere, faithful and firm and
great,
America's First Lino lies in wait
Men who have learned of service,
standing our coasts to guard;
Who follow tho High Idea moro than
tho High Reward;
Seldom we see their faces, seldom
their work we see,
Hence we may criticise them, sharply
and broad and free;
For Fate is mirthful in mercy, and is
sues her Mandates thus;
When the first belt breaks from the
heavens, it breaks upon them
not us:
So wo may look with a steady eye
On the swelling storm clouds, black
in the sky;
For we ore tho wards of a merciful
Fate
And America's First Line lies in wait.
M'hy the Dull Man is Cruel
In the April Woman's Home Com
flanion Arnold Bennett has an inter
esting article to prove that the dull
man is a bad man. Among other in
dictments he makes the following:
"The dull man has no imagination.
Ho does not possess the faculty of
putting himself in the other mnn's
place. Therefore he is certain to
blunder, to be unjust, and to be cruel.
Ho cannot be charitable."
Trying to Smooth it Ovc
Judge You aro accused of as
saulting your husband.
Defendant I admit hitting him,
your honor, but tho weapon J used
proves that I did it more in sorrow
than in wiper.
Judge What did you hit him with?
Defendant A sad iron, your honor.
ARCADE
Fannie Ward Coming.
Having scored such a pronounced
success in "Witchcraft" and "The
Years of the Locust," Fannie Ward,
the versatile Lasky star, will be seen
on Friday and Saturday in the Jesse
L. Lasky production "Betty to the
Rescue," Beatrice De Mille's end
Leighton Osmun's clever comedy
drama, which is the Paramount pic
ture at the Arcade theatre.
In "iBetty to the Rescue" Miss
Ward has a play for which she is es
pecially adapted, and which is unlike
anything in which she has ever ap
peared for the Lasky organization. In
stead of the beautiful society matron
as she was seen in "The Years of the
Locust" tho captivating star is now a
romping, hoydanish tom-boy with
tousled hair, bare feet end is clad fre
quently in a dilapidated pair of over
alls.
The scenes of "Betty to the Rescue"
were laid in the wonderful orange and
mining districts of Southern Cali
fornia. Betty's dying father, who has
sunk tall his money in a mine, leaves
her in the care of some friends who
make her believe she is wealthy until
their orange crop is wiped out by a
sudden frost. How Betty realizing
this, takes the management into her
own hands, and accidentally discov
ers that her mine is worth a fortune,
and goes into the arms of the man
whom she loves, is depicted in a care
ful and delightfully original manner.
Supporting Miss Ward in the cast
are Jack Dean, James Neill, Charles
West, Lillian Leighton and Ted Dun
can, , .
COLONIAL
Violet Mersereau Coming.
The host of admirers Violet Mers
ereau has created through her repeat
ed appearance in Bluebird photoplays
will welcome the news that she will
be stat- of the photoplay entertain
ment to be offered at the Colonial
theatre on Friday and Saturday when
she will present "Susan's Gentle
man," a screen adaptation of Kate
Jordan's story of the same title. Sid
ney Mason will be her leading man,
with Maud Cooling, James O'Neill and
Bradley Barker prominent in her sup
porting company. Love, romance and
adventure blend in exciting episodes
to give "Susan's Gentleman" the
spice of enlivening interest that makes
for the most popular form of enter
tainment. EVANSTON THREATENED
WITH PETTICOAT RULE
Evanston, 111, March 29. (United
Press) Weary of having mere men
mayors and councilmen who spend
their walking hours working in Chi
cago and let municipal affairs in this
exclusive suburb go hang, the women
of Evanston have drafted a system of
Petticoat politics and plan to elect a
woman-manned city administration
this spring.
The women here have the franchise
and the men rather expect them to put
their plan into effect. Already they
have one woman elected to tho school
directorship and another a justice of
the peace, the first in Illinois.
The plan is to have the women win
all the elective offices, then appoint
v.-omcn to all the appointive offices, in
cluding the position of fire and police
commissioner. However, the firemen
and policemen themselves will con
tinue to be men.
"We will admit that men know some
things that we do not know about city
affairs," said Mrs. Anna Row Gross,
wife of an attorney, today, "but we'll
very soon learn them." Mrs. Gross is
one of the movement's leaders.
The Kaiser is Never Dull,'
Says
Arnold Bennett
"The German Emperor has appar
ently neither humor nor fancy, but no
body could ever complain that he was
duu," says Arnold Bennett m the
April Woman's Home Companion, but
has Mr. Bennett ever thought of how
horribly God must be bored?
Fashionable Color Combinations
"Combinations both in fabrics and
colors are very noticeable in spring
and summer frocks, says Grace Mar
garet Gould in tho April Woman's
Home Companion. "Jade-green is
combined with gold. Begonia is used
with sand tones, and white this sum
mer will be combined not only with
iblack, but with a bluish lavender.
raisin, terra cotta and shadow lawn
green. Gray will be much seen, and
gray in combination with yellow,
French blue, navy blue and brown.
"Frequently three or four materials
are combined in one gown. Georgette
crepe, for instance, satin, jersy cloth
aiad crepe meteor are quite often used
together. Gayly prainted silks in Ori
ental designs and colorings are used
with crepe de chine and marquisette.
Flesh color is a favorite foundation
tone."
