WIIEX STABILITY MAY BE FATAL.
"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.

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.

Wants to Abolish Park Commission.
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

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.

NEIGHBORLY ADVICE
Freely Given By An Ashland Citizen.
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."

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

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?
