"althoagh there are plenty of indications that " it is destined to be smothfred and hushed op. It Is about as wel come to the enforcement organiza tion as" were the remarks of Col.

Chasing bootleggers is great sport and doetn't disturb political align ments like real enforcement would. What would-you think , of a law against horse stealing which Indulgently ovei looked the man who furnished a market by buying the stolen animals, and insisted that penalties should be Inflicted solely on the farmer who, raised the horses in the first place? A majority of the. people want prohibition enforced, but very few of them get a chance to help do it. The enforcement officers are all politician's, and veyy few poli ticians are sincere about anything; Host of them are neither real pro hibltlonists nor antis; they' are policy men, willing to make a big noise, at the proper time, but, care; ful always to n,ojt offend "ileople who cunt'pepje who.

Before going into pictures she was Mary McKenna, of Millersburg, Pa. She keeps house in a Holly wood bungalow with IJEAN MARTIN also in the movies. In love with Slyvia is '.- HOWARD .BENNETT," young business man of Millersburg, a schooltime friend. Sylvia's friends in Hollywood are quiet, hardwork ing people, whUe Jean travels in a rather fast set.. Making love to Jean is S Y D N EY HARMON, young movie director, a married flirt. His wife ISC-BEL HARMON, former southern society girl, suspects his attentions to one of the girls, but cannot determine which one, as he also makes extravagant love to Sylvia, who, however, scorns him and advisee Jean to break1 with him for the sake of her reputa tion. Sylvia is chosen to play the leading role In a big new picture for International, "The Miracle of Notre Dame," which excites the envy of Jean and the other girls who hoped to be given the part. Sylvia's friends rejoice, however, and as she is to go to New York as a publicity stunt before begin ning the "Miracle," they give a number of affairs in her honor. Returning from- one of them late' one night -Sylvia finds Jean ill and slipping off her evening clothes and donning a light negli gee she goes to the kitchen' to get a hot drink. Answering a knock at the door, which' she thinks may be a messenger, Sydney Harmon, very drunk,' stumbles in and will not leave Until Sylvia promises to kiss him. This she at last con sents to do to get rid of him and avoid a scandal. As he folds her in his arms, Mrs. Harmon's voice sounds coldly behind them and with her are Sheila Anderson, one of the contestants for the "Mir acle" part, and "Wally" Pickering, gag man. Sylvia has no chance to explain. She wakes Jean and asks her to talk to Mrs. Harmon and exonerate her, but Jean refuses. Now Go On With the Story TWELVE -V"' The stories told about Sylvia were originated by Sheila Ander son and Wally Pickering, and helped along assiduously by every woman jealous of Sylvia's recent success, were amazingly grotesque. and worse. There were details, it seemed, which could only be whispered, be hind discreetly eager palms de tails which varied,' -grew, with each new telling. Sylvia and Syd ney had been together for an hour -two hours drinking. Miss An derson had seen a half-empty whiskey bottle, and glasses, on the table. Sylvia had received him in her nightgown -her lingerie. A bachanalfan revel, clearly. They had been discovered locked in eacl other's arms, in the living-room the bedroom here the details be came unprintable, depending" on the imagination of the person tell ing the story. Mrs. Harmon had barred her husband from the house had decided to bring suit for divorce on the best or worst possible grounds. Sylvia and Sydney had been lovers for months, the affair cleverly screen ed by his attentions to Jean Mar tin. They were to be married as soon as Mrs. Harmon secured her divorce. "Perfectly disgusting!" Sheila Anderson announced to a group of friends, on the United lot. "And to think how we all fell for that little girl line of hers! I always said she was too good to be pos sible." Serenely unaware of the stir she had created, yet by no means blind to the possibility of It, Sylvia pass ed the gate. at. the International lot and hastened to Paul Lamar's of fice. She had hoped, still hoped, in fact, that Sydney Harmon' had followed his wife the night before, explained things to her, admitted he was drunk, and that she, Syl via, was quite blameless in the matter. It was a vain hope; had Sydney been mble to 'see his wife that night it is probable that he would have told her the truth,. but when he reached the sidewalk she had driven off, and the barred door of his house had forced him to take refuge at bis club. Mrs. Harmon was not a vindictive wom an but she had suffered a great deal at her husband's hands, and this time she was determined . to teach him a lesson. s Arrived ' at Mr. Lamar's office, Sylvia . addressed his , sphinx-eyed secretary. Miss Ream, with eager confidence. . "I must see Mr. Lamar at once," she said,- a certain wistfulness in her voice. "It is most important." She did not ask if he was In. Miss Ream disappeared into the rear of fice with a curt nod; she had not envied Sylvia her screen' success, but she had resented her super ior's very apparent Interest in the girl.

It wa3 a large room, very plain ly furnished. . In s p i t e of the gorgeousness be lavished on his productions, Paul Lamar in his personal life maintained an atmos phere of simplicity. Some said it was a pbse, but. they did him an injustice. A big man, both men tally and physically, he had no time for trifles. As Sylvia came up to his desk he rose, put out his hand. thought you would come," he said gently. "Sit down." Sudden tears" rose to Sylvia s eyes as she felt the friendly pres sure of his hand; at least he had met her without having first judged her. "You've heard?" she asked faintly. , " ".Yes all sorts of . things." "And believed them?" . "I never believe, any stories about people until I've heard both sides. Tell me yours.' Sylvia told him, simply, direct ly, sparing Jean as far as she could, yet making no martyr of herself on her friend's account. She implied that Sydney's affair with the girl had been a harmless one, as indeed she had no reason to doubt. "Of course," she concluded, 'l wasn't strong enough to throw him out. And., I was terribly afraid that if J didn't get rid of him somehow., -and quickly, his presence in the house would be come known. . Jean was sick in bed and .couldn't , do. anything. g0 when he promised to go at once, if I'd,;let him kiss me. I 1 told him to go ahead. It may have been foolish but there didn't seem to.be anything else to do, except run off and call for help. And you; can imagine what that would have meant. And just at that mo ment, when I'was trying to push him away from me, his wife came." Her voice trailed off into rather a dismal silence. Some how, even to herself, the story sounded weak, unconvincing. "You believe me, don't you?" Mr. Lamar sat drumming on the top' of the desk with his finger nails. For a full -moment the room was so still that Sylvia could hear the ticking of his wrist watch the beating of her heart. "Of. course I believe you," he said presently. "And under the circumstances I don't see what else you could have done. It was unfortunate, as matters turned out, that you had to. let him in in the first place. " Ami a great pity that you did not insist on explain ing matters to Mrs.' Harmon and the people with her then and there." "I-tried to. She wouldn't lis ten. Before I knew it she was gone." "I understand." "And I expectod her husband to follow her tell her the truth. He certainly had every reason to." Mr. Lamar shOok his head. "It was too late, then," he said Picture time is here.

"Still. w,hen peo ple hear my side ' " Again 'Paul Lamar shook his head, and the look of sympathy In his eyes deepened. "I'm afraid you don't know the world very well, my dear girl." he said. "People ome people -if it did not sound cynical I would be tempted to say most people are only too ready, even glad, to judge - condemn without waiting to hear both sides of a story, ,,Don you realize that this scandal or aUeged scandal has already ,bee'n flashed to every newspaper office in the country?"

God knows, we would, Jjuick enough, it we could, not only for your sake, but for the sake of the picture business as a whole. But we can't." "How dare they - publish any thing that isn't true?" Sylvia asked stormily. "What they publish will be true. The facts as they stand. That Mr. Harmon did find, you and her hus band together found you in fact, iii his arms. at an early hour this "morning. That you were, to.' put it plainly, very unconventionally dressed, and that as a result Mrs. Harmon Is threatening a divorce. These things are facts, and you may be very .sure that the news papers, throughout the country will know how to present those facts in their most damning light without laying themselves open to suits for libel. I have just been talking with a friend of mine on one of the Los Angeles papers. He would do a great deal for me for our company but with all the other papers running the story, how can I ask him to suppress it? And what good would It do, if he did? Sheila Anderson has given a sworn statement of what occur red, to the newspapers. Ko has Pickering. Mrs. Harmon has told the reporters to see her lawyers. Mr. Harmon is in hiding some where, and refuses. Jo talk. All those things are trueand no news paper in the country will hesitate to publish them. , They will be after you. too rwijl want..to print your story. I wonder they haven't approached you already."

It grew so abundantly, on. the Lake Lablsh beaverdain lands, that the quantity waa embarassing, as. it took up a iot of " storage space, and there couldt be found no way to work it up profitably for the markets. It would have cost too' much money for "-machinery or other facilities, unless the ptate wanted to stay in the hemp Industry and .this seemed "inad visable, as' 'the inmates- smoked j. the leaves for hasheesh, or "marw awauna." a mild opiate.
