Adventures o; ,1TU3 Jimmy Coon's Pantry NOW you remember that Jimmy Coon had a refrigerator , in Murmuring Brook, where little William had strung his fish on a forked stick. Jimmy Coon also had a pantry, and where do you think it was? What would you think if your mother had a refrigerator in, one place and a pantry in another, and neither of them n her own house? You would - say -that was very .Inconvenient. You know if the refrigerator was in the cellar, what a bother it would be, and what would your mother do if her pan try was way up In the attic? Now, you see, the Coon family must have had very lovely dispositions, and they must be a very patient family, for the family lived miles from their pantry and the pantry: was on the top of the very tallest pine tree you ever saw. " This wonderful pantry belonged to the fish hawks and it was their nest. Here they laid their., eggs, and here their little ones lived. Here the parents brought their food. The fish hawka didn't think it was Jimmy Coon's pantry at all, but Jimmy Coon was sure it was his, and, of course, this difference in point, of view led to many quarrels. Now, what the little fish hawks liked best of all to eat was fesh fish, and It was a pretty sight to see their father and mother go fishing to get those hungry children of theirs their break fast and dinner. It was a eight that Jimmy liked to see better than almost anything else in the world, and he would station himself in a tall tree, and watch Father Fish Hawk poising himself with outspread wings above the water, then plunging beneath the water, then flying with his fresh fish: to feed his babies In NEW YORK MILLINERY 248 Third St., Bet.

RIO DE JANEIRO (By MalL) The American motion picture is the strongest link In the Pan-American chain that has been welded to connect Brazil and the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that the American movie Is the most potent factor In rringing to the Brazilians the American Ideal. The unconscious propaganda of the screen has obtained results on every side. Regarded from a commercial angle, the American film has earned for itself a huge airf complete success In this coun try. Within the past five years even during the early part of the war Eu ropean films, particulularly those made in Italy and France, monopolized the Brazilian market. The people of Brazil, as in the other South American coun tries, closer to Europe by reasons of language and customs, were unacquaint ed with American "Moviedom." There was considerable difficulty, ex perienced by American film exporters in establishing their product in the Bra zilian market. The obstacles were not found aming the theatre patrons, but among the exhibitors. Exhibitors claimed that they were satisfied with European films, then backed up their argument with the contention that American-made motion pictures dwere far more costly than those made in the European countries. Naturally, they were readily convinced of the superiority of the American film, marveled at the costly productions and the calibre of the artists. The Brazilian film dealers were brought around, one by one, and the future of the American film established. So rapid has been the success of the American film, that European film pro ductions here now are as rare as Ameri can pictures were five years ago. There are still a bakers' dozen of French and Italian stars, who hold a small following here, but the exhibition of their pictures are rare. Popular American motion picture players are as keeniy appreciated in Brazil as they are in the United States. The beautiful women and the accom plished actors of the American screen liave. proportionately, each, just as large and just as enthusiastic a following as at home. Dancer Went Just Little Too Far Newark, N. J.. June 5. (I. N. S.) It was a very, very hot night. But a jury decided that even at that. Marie Caveline, 24-year-old Hawaiian dancer from New York, should not have discarded the straw dress she wore at the beginning or. her "hula hula" dance in a local auditorium. She was convict ed and is liable to a fine of $1000 and a jail term.
