True Blue Progressiva! and be half

The Oolden Rule phase of the

called a ear lea of confessional confer

Oolden Rula had functioned, In the

for an VRA. Both, the Oolden Rule
especially, are universally regarded as
a fine thing for the other fellow.
Neither have ever been able to offer
much resistance to Greed. The Gold

Editorial Correspondence
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb.
California!! goes to Reno for a
at the Hall of Justice here, aa
they pass out bags of candy at a Sunday school Christmas tree.
Miss Kay Francis appeared in Judge Sproul's court yester
day and with one word, a smile and a nod of her pretty head,
got rid of her third husband. The entire performance took
exactly 3 minutes ! 3 husbands,
Of course Miss Francis had to dress up for the occasion. And
a popular movie actress, applying for a divorce, must choose her
costume with some care. We have the word of a girl reporter,
Kay wore smartly tailored "shnrk skin" suit, topped by a
double silver fox choker, and a perfectly "ducky" black hat,
the rakish edge of which exactly bisected her right eye. There
was a sharkskin bag too, black gloves edged with white, and
beneath the black hat we might add, a sad, soulful, almost a
PAINED expression. Had we known nothing of Miss Francis
or the circumstances, we would have assumed the beautiferous
young woman had been suddenly and tragically bereaved and
decidedly against her desire, had been forced to come to court,
to go through. some formality, which the laws of an unfeeling
world demanded. In short the lady's ensemble looked to us like
mourning extremely smart and modish mourning and we
have an idea that is what it was. Mourning for husband No. 31
Miss Francis was accompanied by a lawyer and a maid. The
lawyer, also meticulously tailored held a large document in his
hand, and raising it before the beautiful brown eyes of his
client, asked:
"Is everything you allege in this complaint true!"
"Yes" was the beautifully modulated reply in a rich con
tralto. "Did he nag and harrass youl'1
"Yes. I would come home late after working 12 and 14
hours and he would keep me up' hours and hours making
SARCASTIC remarks. He was particularly critical of my dress
my clothes and the way I wore them," and Miss Francis cast
down her eyes, until each particular "mascarcd" eyelash showed
on her fair skin, like hand-pafnted sun rays on a Chinese tea cup.
Imagine ANY man, criticizing ANY clothes that such a
ravishing creature might wear, and as for keeping her up late
at night MAKING SARCASTIC remarks oh well, WELL,
cruel, inhuman and unusual 1
"Is there any corroborating witness?"
"Oh yes indeed come forward, Miss Ida Perry."
Miss Ida Perry being Miss Francis' personal maid, should
know about such things, (a fat chance she would have holdiug
the job is she DIDN'T I)
o o a i o
Miss Perry, who could hardly rival Kay in personal allure
ment corroborated everything, and added "Mister McKenna
also adopted a very superior manner."
Think of that another blow below the belt what a fiend
in human form this man McKenna must have been! Imagine
any male, acting "superior" having the unbreakable crust to
do anything before a paragon of intellectual majesty and pul
ehritudinous lovoliness such as stands before you but lie down on
the floor and let it walk over you high heuls, sharkskin bag,
and ALL1
"It made mo nervous" added Miss Kay Francis, sadly, "and
Llost weight 1"
The reprehensible blackguard, the unconscionable scoundrel !
"The petition of djvorce is hereby granted" quoth the court.
And then Miss Kay Francis raised her eyes and smiled, not
at her attorney or the reporters or the fans in the court room,
but at His Honor, the judge. Right at him, straight between
the eyes. The court smiled also, bowed, fumbled with some
papers on his desk, and we wager after court adjourned had
something to write in HIS "memory book."
Just to keep the record straight we don't wish to leave the
impression, that Miss Kay Francis, Mrs. Stephen McKenna or
Mr. McKenna had anything to do with this proceeding, Tho
action was Kathorine Gibbs Milzinger, Jr., against John Milzin
gor, Jr., the divorced husband, in addition to his other mal
factions, going under the name of Stephen McKenna of the
well known Irish family of MeKennas, of county Antrim. He
also is an actor or was once, and the namo McKenna no doubt
helped him in his bookings.
In fact these divorce courts are great revealcrs of true names
as well as othor things.
In the Bame Hall of Justice the same day Charlie Foy, the
son of the lato Eddie Foy, also secured his mnrital freedom from
one Grace Hays Foy, radio singer and actress. Charlie also had
a real grievance. He loaned his wifo ten dollars and she refused
to pay it back. . '
"You can pay that ten dollars or leavo the house," that
was the remark of the wife, NOT Charlie.
Charlie left, greatly humiliated and chagrined.
"Could you repeat her exact language!" asked Foy's attor
ney, in dulcet, insinuating tones.
"I had rather not" replied Charlie, fighting manfully to
restrain his emotions.
That was enough I Charlie got his divorce.
But the name is not Charlie Foy But Charles J. Fitzgerald.
However, in the words of Shakespeare, such a rose as Charlie,
under any other name, would smell as sweet.
Charlie may be a good tap dancer, but after looking him
over we should say that Gracie Hays is the one to be congratu
lated! It's raining cats and dogs here now after nearly two weeks
of summer sunshine. Thy say sharkskin sheds water like a top
hat! R. W. R.

Benefits from drinking buttermilk?
Has It any food value? Haa it any
disadvantages or harmful results?
(Mrs. S. F.)
Answers 1. Yes, it Is a wholesome,
healthful Beverage for anyone who
likes It. In nutritive value a pint of
buttermilk is equivalent to one-half
pint of fresh milk. I know of no dis

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
ON Washington's birthday, when
these words are written, this
thought arises:
What would - Washington, the
founder of his country, have thought
of a lot of the things we are doing
In these days?
The ehances are he would have
been greatly disturbed If he could
have foreseen them.
THOMAS Jefferson, one of the sign
era of the Declaration of Inde
pendence and the third president of
the United States, said, and BE
LIEVED: "That government la best which
governs least."
WHAT would Thomas Jefferson,
holding these views as to alm
pliclty of government, have thought
of some of our present governmental
complexities If he could have for
seen them?
What would he have thought, H
he could have anticipated It, of the
extent to which government. In our
day, has entered Into all the affairs
of business?
The chances are that he, too, would
have been greatly disturbed.
BUT remember thisT
Washington and Jefferson, In
their time, were regarded In the
older and more conservative countries
of Europe as DANGEROUS RADI
CALS. Now we look upon them as extreme
conservatives. .
The world changes, doesn't It?
IT ISNT improbable that 150 years
hence, these new departures in
government which we now regard as
extremely advanced will be looked
upon aa too hopelessly conservative
to be even considered by up-to-date
people.
SPEAKING of changes, did you ever
see a picture of the first rail
road train?
It doesn't look much like the new
stream-lined trains Just announced
by several of the railroads, which are
expected to do around 110 miles an
hour with a very moderate expendi
ture of fuel.
People who saw the first railroad
train, and regarded It as a danger
ously swift engine of destruction,
could not possible have visualized
these new stream-lined trains of to
day. AND so with he steamship. Ful
ton's first clumsy vessel bore
hardly any resemblance at all to the
swift ocean greyhounds of today.
The airplane that the Wright
brothers, first succeeded In flying at
Kitty Hawk didn't look even faintly
like the planes that now soar over
head. THTC world la going through a con
stant process of change.
The old gives way to the new. What
was good enough a generation ago
Isn't good enough now.
We move on constantly from what
we have to something else that Is
better or at least more satisfactory
at the moment.
It always has been that way, and
In all 'probability It always will be.
IT WOULD be tlK iflingly Interesting,
wouldn't It, If we could look for
ward into the future for say a cou
ple of hundred years and see what
will be going on then?

He Is a prominent member of the
