"Confidence in her husband Is the most beautiful thing In a married woman's Hfe. When that Is gone, nothing is left," testifies a Kansas City woman In a suit for divorce. Confidence is the basis of success in business. Bankruptcy results when a man loses the confidence of bis business associates. Confidence Is the basis of peace between nations, and when it Is vio lated they go to war. But most fortunes are piled up late In life after a man has learned bow to do business successfully by failing several times. And nations at war In one decade protest their friendship In the next and become allies against a common enemy. It Is only in marriage that men and women Insist that confidence, once lost, can never be restored. But even in that we are learning. Now we bave domestic relations courts in many lare cities, the object of which is to re-establish homes from which confidence has fled. Unfortunately , the most bitter tragedies are never discussed In do mestic relations or divorce courts. Husbands and wives live and die in distrust of each other because they forget that all the religions of the world preach forgiveness, and that all eclonce teaches the law of change. Refusal to change ourselves, re fusal to recognize change in others means death to the emotions, of which love Is the most vital. To claim that one cannot renew one's confidence in another Is not at all a proof of one's own integrity and respectability. It is very often proof that one la self-centered and selfish. 41 7 IN MY last "Jalk" I com mented some what upon the type of fea tures that pho tograph teat in motion pic tures and the difficulty of ten experienc ed in correctly this respect. 'a'. Beatriz Michelena estimat'ng values In Sometimes the girl that might be ex pected to show to great advantage on the screen proves an utter impos sibility as a photographlo subject. That it should be so seems out of all reason and inexplicable, but must be accepted as one of the vagaries of the picture camera. Neither can any definite Judgment as to a person's motion picture possi- bijities be based on the kind of por trait Le or she can secure from the "still" photographer. A "still" pho tograph is specially posed with lights and position carefully arranged for the occasion. If this alone is not enough, the photographer can re touch the negative and, If he is clever enough, bring out one feature strong ly and subordinate another. The mo tion picture, however, must accept things pretty much as it finds them. There is but limited opportunity for special arrangements and poses, and none at all for retouching. It is consequently with consider able hesitancy that I attempt any analysis of facial lines or features in connection with motion picture requisites. Anything I say must be tentatively and with reservations. With thiS understood, I will ven ture the opinion that the eyes are the most important of a picture actress's features. In drama where the voice is denied one, the eyes are the most nearly audible part of the face. I think that you will find them always the most eloquent. I have often heard It said that dumb animals the horse or dog, for instance talk with their eyes, and I have certainly found it true with, my own pets. The only reason we have not taken this more into consideration In respect to people is because they have a tongue and consequently there is small need to pay attention to the eyes. In a way , I believe it took motion pictures to make us realize Just how much one may express with the eyes The screen emphasized the old adage that "The eyes are the lamp of the soul." I will not attempt to say what kind of eyes in shape and size and color are the most desirable. As a gen eral thing, directors believe that dark ones photograph the best. Hazel eyes, too, prove excellent in this re spect, as do any ethers where there Is a decided contrast between the Iris and the white. Such eyes always seem to be the most decisive and to enunciate the most plainly In "Bcreen language." In any event, it is the expressive rather than the merely pretty eye that pictures require. They must be readily responsive to every mood of the actress's role. They must interpret her part; in short, they must talk. 8 ,DO YOU KNOW THAT OIK GOOD THEORIES WHICH WE LET OTHERS PRACTICE. Young nations, like the newest ba bies, profit much by modern advan tages. There's Cuba, which, accord ing to her Inherited traditions, should deal with criminals after the manner of the middle ages. But Cuba, although only recently made a republic, is setting older countries an example in prison con struction, management and discipline. At present her prisoners make their own clothes and work on the govern ment roads. A new prison which is now being planned by Colonel A. H. Aguirre, the warden of the three Havana pris ons, will be a model of scientific ar rangement, and It will be constructed as far as possible by the convicts. Colonel Aguirre is at present In the United States getting posted In some of the fine theories In which we are "long." We have plenty of theories' about criminals In this country. It Is only In penology, their practical application, that we are "short." We do much less well than we know be cause our prisons everywhere are re garded as the proper spoil of our politicians. We may be no judge of beauty or shape, but we don't like these long legged, pompadoured, pie-faced simps in the Illustrated clothing ads. ASHLAND LUMBER COMPANY Dealers in LUMBER Shingles.

Editor Tidings: I would like, as a citizen of Ashland, if you could see your way clear to publish this arti cle, entitled, "What's Going to Be come of Our Parks or Springs Water Project?" It is indeed a deplorable condition that such friction and discenslon and spite, etc., prevail between members of our city council, springs commis sion and park commission. All of this friction is uncalled for and hurts our city, especially when strangers are in our midst, which they are at the present time, and at a time when plans are being perfected for our Fourth of July celebration and other pageantB, etc., that such friction is liable to hurt. I therefore ask from every reader of this article your care ful and Just consideration of the fol lowing proposition: That the people of Ashland draw up. a charter amendment abolishing the park commission, which was cre ated in 1908, and also abolishing the springs water commission when their work Is completed and their final re port is made to the city of Ashland. Then provide one commission of three citizens, to be known as the park springs commission, such com mission to have entire control and management of all city parks and springs water plant, and that the people shall say by their votes what funds this commission shall have to spend annually. This commission to be elected one for three years, one for two years and one for one year, and thereafter every one for three years. Such a commission I believe would settle this whole question for all time. I can see nothing at present but FINANCIAL STATEMENT OP THE SPRINGS WATER COMMISSION Week Ending May 20, 1010.

',, ' BERT R. GREER, Chalnnsn, friction ahead of us, while both com missions exist. I will illustrate that In a few words. The park commis sion controls all lands created for park purposes; the springs commis sion controls the springs water proj ect. The pipes of the springs com mission go through the land con trolled by the park commission, and if ever the pipes have to be dug up for repairs or other reasons, through the park, shrubs, trees, walks and flowers will have to be moved or de stroyed, then you will have friction with either the park superintendent anj park commission, or vice versa. Any citizen who is concerned in the future of Ashland will realize this. The writer has nothing but the greatest respect and regard for every member of our park commission, springs commission and city council, but the future of Ashland is at stake and every man and woman should pull together, with one end in view, for the upbuilding and betterment of our city, and that can only be accom plished by co-operation and unity, not through knocking, kicking and fault-finding. The people of Ashland voted $175, 000 for spring water and park pur poses, and that monoy and Interest we have to pay whether we like it or not. If we ever expect to get any body here who will help us pay it we certainly have to get them through co-operation and not by wrangling and fighting. Such quarreling drives people away and is liable to drive away those we already have estab lished here. 'These are the things to be consid ered by the men who have brains and the women who have homes and like our city. If any citizen likes this proposition, come out in the open and declare yourself. A CITIZEN. Southern States Organize Outing One of the largest meetings of for mer residents of other states was held at the city hall last Tuesday and it was decided that the next meeting should be held on May 31, at which time the organization would be per fected. The spirit in which the southerners have taken hold of and are enthused with the idea of hav ing an outing this summer shows that hospitable spirit characteristic of all southern people, and their organiza tions bids well not only of being the largest of its kind, but also that of making the stranger who comes here on an outing to feel that he or she is welcome and that they are here for a good time. The meeting will be held" in the city hall on Wednesday, May 31, at 3 p. m., and all who formerly resided In the south are invited to attend. This does not include the former res idents of California or Arizona, as these states are included In other outings. TOO BUSY.

When one has suffered tortures from a bad back and found relief from the aches and pains, that per son's advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. The follow ing neighborly advice comes from an Ashlnad resident: Allen Davis, 137 First street, Ash land, says: "Some time ago I had a bad attack of kidney and bladder trouble. It came on so suddenly that I thought I was done for. My back ached and when I tried to pass the kidney secretions I had such terrible pains I could hardly stand them. I finally began using Doan's Kidney Pills and they proved a Godsend to me. They corrected the trouble and restored me to my usual good health." Price 60c, at all dealers.

C. r Tuxedo Nights by Walt Mason When the day's work's done, and the good old sun has sunk in the well known West, then I stretch my form by the fireside warm, I sit at my ease and rest Then I take my pipe which is mildly ripe, as the pipes of good smokers are, with a chortling soul then I fill its bowl from my glass Tuxedo jar. And I smoke at ease, and mv trouble flees to the place where dead troubles go; and my worries seem, in my waking dream no longer to have a show. And I say, "In deed, it's a noble weed that drives all the ghost3 away, and clamps the lid on the cares that skid around through the busy day. The worries and woes and such things as those in the daytime leave their scar, but there's rest at night and a calm delight in my glass Tuxedo jar," " (bajuffl w 'in r Bulletin No. 1 A Mistake in the Policy of the Bethlehem Steel Company To the People: ( The Senate of the United States has passed a bill to spend $11,000,000 of the People's money to build a government armor plant The measure is now before the House of Representatives. It Is said that manufacturers of armor have "gouged" the country in the past, and that a government plant is necessary to'vecure onnor mure cheaply. The mistake of the Bethlehem Steel Company has been that it has kept quiet. We hnve allowed irresponsible assertions to be made for so longwithout denial, that many people now believe them to be proven fucts. We shall make the mistake of silence no longer. Henceforth we shall pursue a policy of publicity. Misinformation will not be permitted to go uncorrected." s f It is and has been the policy of our Company to deal with the American Government fairly and squarely. We shall henceforth place the details of our relations with the Government before the American People. ' The United States has for twenty years obtained the highest grade of armor and has paid a lower price for it than has any other great naval power. Figures officially compiled for the Senate Committee on NtiI Aflalra from the Naval Tear Book abow that ndrr condition! prevailing juat before the European war, tbe ebief naval povere of the world ware paying theee price for armuri England, $503 per ton; France, 160 Germany, 190 Japan, 490j UNITED STATES, 1425. A government plant cannot make armor any cheaper than we can do it; and We are prepared to manufacture armor at any price which the Government itself .hall name as fair, THAT BEING SO SHOULD $11,000,000 . OF THE PEOPLE'S MONEY BE WASTED TO BUILD A GOVERNMENT PLANT?
