"Cohan" ' Theatrical Managers Give Credit to the "Yankee Doodle Boy" and His "Pep." NKW YORK, Sept. 18. Now that the tumult and . the shouting In connec liwn with the late actors' strike has more 01 Ipkh died down, it is InterestltiR to coiiKi'lrr the caunco which led to the set tlement Ix-tweeti (he manage rs and the repipceiitfitives of the striking actors. The re;il fact are hereby set forth for the first time. No less a person than the always sure fire George M. Cohan had more to do than anv one else with bringing the war ring factions together in the conference from which harmony reaiflted. When the council of the equity association definitely rejected the managers' pro posal for a nettlement and when the pro ducers had determined lo make a fin ish fight and wink or swim together. Mr. Cohan decided to make one last ef fort to bring about an amicable adjust ment. With this Idea in mind he pot in touch with his attorney. Dennis F. O'Brien, rnd requested 'the latter to assist him In preventing the catastrophe of a long drawn-out and bitter battle. He sug gested that Mr.' O'Brien get Into Imme diate communication with Augustus Thomas and request the latter to make one final attempt to mediate matters. Mr. O'Brien, acting on Mr. Cohan's sug-. gestlon, reached XI r. Thomas on the tel ephone and recommended that he ap proach the equity association In a last effort to procure a compromise propo sition. Sir. Cohan did all of this on his own Initiative and without the knowl edge of .either his professional or man agerial friends. Mr. Thomas acted on this suggestion, got In touch with, the equity council and eventually brought both sides together In the conference which definitely set tled the strike. . The above statement of facts was made by George C. Tyler, of the man agers, who feels that the real slory should be known and that George M. Cohan Is still maintaining his consist ent record for always doing, the fine ind right thing. Wlrat- Whcre- VAUDEVILLE PAN'TAREB Broadway at Alder. High clew taude'ille and photoplay feature.

Wellesley Wonders Welleiley, Mass.. Sept. 18. (I. N. S.) Wellesley will not have the movies. Their ethical value is disputed by Wellesley college, although ' more than three quarters of the town would like to beguile away the eve ning hours at a movie. The boys of the town have to get rid of their superfluous energies that easily could be satisfied by watching the movies and are now prowling around raiding the melon patches. Many of the ethical objectors to the movies have now lost melons from their. patches and are wondering whether movies are better than melons. WITH' AUTHOR ANDPUBLISIIER Parents are criminals unless they ob serve certain laws which ally them selves with marriage, declares Dr. Wiley In an article In September Good House keeping "Making the New American." To quote: "It would not be advisable to eliminate sentiment from narenthnori. Love Is the most exalted of human pas sions. There should be, Tiowever, 'method J In this madness.' It is the duty of the j state to deny the marriage certificate to the unfit and especially to criminal and epileptic candidates. A rigid men tal, moral and physical examination should safeguard the state from the burden of many unhappy dependents. At the same time it would avoid that life of misery caused by social ostra cism and physical and mental suffering, to which so many of our people are born.4 e V. Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novelist whose two war novels, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and "Mare Nostrum" have eclipsed the sales of all other war books in this country, is coming to the United States to deliver a series of lectures. He will arrive in New York early in November and his tour will include the principal cities of the country and extend from coast to coast. He will have three lectures, one jn "The Spirit of the Four Horsemen," dealing with reconstruction in Europe, another on "How I Write My Novels," and the third on "The America We Know, which will present to Ameri cans the new vision of this nation which Europe perceived during the war. As Blasco Ibanez speaks only Spanish he will be accompanied by an interpreter, or co-lecturer; Robert King Atwell, an American who has spent much time in Porto Rico, speaks Spanish like a na tive of Spain and who has been nom inated for the position of United States commissioner of education in Porto Rico. Albert L,. Grey, general manager for D. W. Griffith, has selected New Ro chelle, N. Y., as the location for the new Griffith eastern production head quarters. The site is a part of the Henry Flagler estate. Plans have been drawn for studio buildings that will be complete In arrangement and equip ment.

From the Book of Wonders, Published and Copyrighted by the Bureau of Industrial Education, Inc., Washington, D. C. As a matter of fact plants and trees do grow downward as well as up. There is a part of each called the root whose business it is to grow down and take certain things necessary to the life of the tree out of the ground. But the part we see above the ground is the part we generally think of when we think of plants or Ireea. The tree or plant, in order to grow properly and eventually produce flowers and perfect seeds, must have sunshine and carbonic acid gas, and it is the busi ness of the leaves and other parts above the ground to get these out of the air for the good of the plant or tree. So they start to grow toward the sun. It is easy to prove how a plant will turn. toward the light. Take notice of the plants in the flower pots at home. Set one of them on the window sill inside the win dow, where the sun can shine on it and notice 'how quickly the leaves and branches will be bent over against the window pane. Turn It completely around then, so that the plant leans away from the sunlight, and watch it for a day or two. Before long you will find that It has not only straightened Itself com pletely out, but started to lean toward the window glass again so as to get as near the sun as possible. Most plants, if kept where the sunlight cannot touch them, will die. The sunlight is a neces sary part of their lives. eAdventuresS Quilly's Disposition IT was fortunate for Jimmie Coon that only the outside spears of Quilly Por cupine stuck in his fur vest and coat. If the quills with barbs had stuck into the fur coat of Jimmie Coon they would have to have been cut out. Quilly has two layers of spears and the worst ones Jimmy Coon escaped. The next morning Jimmie Coon felt better and he and Teddy Possum went to see Quilly Porcupine. For Jimmie Coon felt sorry that he had been so rude and that he had rushed Into Quilly's house in such a hurry. Those two rascals knocked at the front door of the gray stone house and then they peeked in, but no one was at home. Where could Quilly Porcupine be? They looked everywhere, high and low, and way up in the top of a tree were two balls of fur. Jimmy Coon thought that they must be some of his own fam ily, the Coons, for they looked like them. So he and Teddy Possum ran up into the tree to make sure. When they were nearly up to those two furry balls, they saw they were Quilly Porcupine and one of his cousins. So they called out "Hello. Quilly ! Come on down and we will show you the holes those sharp spears of yours made in Jimmie Coon's fur coat." Quilly didn't act as if he heard. He just sat hunched up in a ball and wouldn't speak at all. You see all the Porcupine family have very curious dispositions. Once in a wffile they are sulky. Perhaps you have seen someone act like that. Such people are hard to get along with. Jimmie Coon has such a good disposition that he didn't mind Quilly Porcupine at all. He just scrambled up beside him and laughed right In his face. "I didn't mean to rush into your house like that, Quilly, and scare you to death." When Jimmie Coon said this he was very careful not to poke Quilly, for he was scared" to death himself for fear he would be hurt again with those awful spears. Quilly felt truly sorry that he had shot all those spears into Jlmmie's fur coat and when he saw that Jimmie Coon wasn't cross about It and -wanted to make up, he smiled a little. And then Jimmie .Coon laughed again, and now Quilly smiled more and grunted and said something that no one -could understand, and down cam those two Porcupines out of the tree and they all sat down on the bank of Murmuring brook-and talked it all-over. Tou see that -Jimmie Coon is one of Quilly's good friends and' he would hate to lose him.
