Each stage In his career acted as a stepping stone to his great achieve ment. Perhaps he was burn under u lucky planet. Anyway, he was for tunate enough to be the son of an actor and received an early training In magic, juggling and acrobatics. He mastered some of these arts before he had finished the third reader. After leaving school he traveled with his father and became more efficient In the art of entertaining. Then followed the period In the newspaper business as cartoonist. This developed his creative ability nnd prepared hlin to write his own comedies. It also taught him to forsake the well beaten path and search In the byways for new material. A cartoonist must be original. Thus, Larry Semon Is perhaps the best qualified for the title of comedy king. All of his past experiences can be utilized upon the screen He can resort to thrilling acrobatics where the average comedian Is forced to use slapsticks. He Is also adept In training animals and has a cat, monkey anr lx white mice that play difficult roles In his comedies. During the three years previous to 1022, Albert E. Smith, president of Vltagraph, has agreed to outlay $.',000,000 on Larry Semon In the production of 86 new comedies. "The Grocery Clerk," width Is something different from the usual run of laugh makers, was the first film to be produced under tin new contract. "Between the Acts," "Dew Drop Inn" and "The Head Walter' re some of Larry Semon'a comedies that stand out prominent as being In I class by themselves. ' . RICKETS DID THIS. Worth Saving.

Now st least her leg Is straight again, and by degrees she It relearnlng to walk. Klcket Is the aftermath of under nutrition, and It Is to cut down the harrowing prevalence of such disease as this Among the chil dren of Europe that eight American re lief organizations are making a joint appeal under the name of the European Wis Council for funds to succor the i millions that face a winter of horror. They are th American Itellef Adminis tration, the American Hed Cross. th Ame.lcsn Frlndt' Service Committee (Quakers), the Jew!li Joint Dlstrlbu- tlon committee, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America, the Knights of Columbus, the X. M. G. A. ! and the X. W. C A. The features of this girl portray tne finest type of Polish childhood that now lies engulfed In hunger and dis ease and all their attendant miseries Belief already administered by Amer ica has preserved her beauty and freshness, albeit her eyes betray the suffering she has seen, but literally millions In ber own and adjacent coun tries still have no one to look to but America as another winter of horror close In upon them. To the end that their prayer may not go unanswered eight leading American relief organiza tions have banded together In joint appeal In behalf of Europe's suffering children. They are the American Be lief Administration, the American Bed Cross, th American Friends' Belief Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal f'hurches of Christ In America, the Knlfhts of Columbus, the V. M. Ci A. nd th X. W. C. A. HAS SEIZED GERMAN TRADE I NOW WAREHOUSES ON WATER Japan Said to Be Furnishing Practi cally All of the Buttons Now Used in China. The style has changed in Manchuria that, Just after the establishment of the republic, set many Chinese wear ing the garments of the West, mid needing naturally western buttons. Such buttons, snys Consul General Al bert W. Pontius, writing I a from Mukden to his government, were Im ported about equally from Japanese end Kuropean manufacturers, but now the Chinese have pretty well goo back to their own style of dress, nnd the one Kuropean garment that still re mains popular Is the heavy olsti r. One no longer needs buttons, except for one's ulster, and these are now chiefly Imported from Japan, for the Chinese costume does very well with "frog." But buttons, no longer Men, are evi dently needed somewhere, for In BMP China Imported about $-iOO,(Hii worth of them, bone buttons, composition but tons, and mother-of-pearl buttons, and about 85 per cent of these buttons were "made In Jnpan." The war has given Japan almost a monopoly; one might say that Japan bullous China. And so It Is, says Consul General Pon tills, with needles to sew the buttons on. Before the war Cina was import ing approximately $900,000 worth of needles n year, chiefly from Germany and Austria; but now the Japanese needle manufacturers control the Chi nese market, and that Is sail for the Chinese needlewoman or needleman. because the Japanese needles 1o not keep their sharp points any thing like as long as the Kuropean needles. Chris tian Science Monthly. FIND MAKES SCIENTISTS GLAD Discoveries Recently Made on Scottish Island Are Declared to Settle an Old Dispute. Discoveries of y. great Interest to archaeologists have been made on the Island of Blsga, In Loch Sunart. Ar- gyleshire, Scotland, where n band of scientists has been searching In huge shell mounds. The director of the party Is of the opinion that the discoveries made In this rocky anil uninhabited Island have gone far to settle the dispute among archaeologists as to whether a break Intervened In the human occupation of the British Isles between Palaeo lithic and Neolithic periods. He says: "Vestiges of human activity ex tremely like the 'Azlllan,' as the Inter mediate period Is called In Frame, hnve now been recognized In Scotland In the Island of Oransny, adjoining Colonsay, nnd the name of Oransay has been given to this period In Soot land." The Blsgn excavations disclosed re mains of the Oransay man's dwelling places, with his food, refuse and rude tools, mad of flint. Jasper, quartz and quurtzlle, horn and bone, and many large Implements made from the ant lers of the red deer. Windows of Life. Every call and challenge of life has its appropriate w indow. Some are of the stained-glass variety, heavy lead ed, but permitting no vision. The win dow ltstdf Is the thing beautiful nnd the beholder Is not expected to see be yond It. Even the sunlight Is changed as It posses through the glass. Such windows are usually stationary and are the end In themselves1. The clouds and sunshine Influence what is within but nothing without can enter. Other windows are of the prism variety. They give rainbow effect! but reveal nothing as It really Is. Such windows bewitch ami enslave, but never reveal the outer life or permit the Inner self to flow out Into the great throbbing, panting world. These windows adorn and beoutify, but We need the crystal glnss to help us get the far vision nnd grow upon the lessons of life. Grit. Says Swans Are Useful. A pair of swans, to replace others which escaped during the war, has been presented by the bird chamber lain to the Boyal Botanic society of London. These are not merely for ornamental purposes, says the London Dally Chronicle, but are to be em ployed on useful work In demolishing the water weeds which have accumu lated In the society's lake In their gar dens nt Regent's r.urk. The absence of the swans resulted In the lake be ing overrun with water weeds, brought there, Is was believed, by a heron which periodically visited the water for fishing purposes. Lightning's Deadly Work. A Jarring crash of lightning Inter rupted the rest of two herdsmen re cently as they slept near their flock of Ljttfl sheep on the range above the American Fork canyon, In north cen tral Utah. A hurried walk of some 200 feet brought them to their charges, says Popular Mi . honlc Magazine. Striking the do gathered flock, the lightning hnd cut two wide swaths, about 250 sheep In each. Between these swaths and 00 either side, the animals were not touched. Japanese Sara to Have Evolved a Scheme That l Ingenious and Profitable as Well. The time may probably come when the land Is overcrowded and people begin to live on water. Then we shall be building floating skyscraper and nquutle park At any rate, congenial Japanese have alreody launched a scheme which In the7 opinion of the projectors hits many Idrds by one stone. The scheme Is th creation of what Is called floating warehouses. During the war Japan built many good-lzed wooden ships to p.td in the transportation of the allies' goods. After the war these ships wore dis missed from the service, and since tben lay Idle In harbors unable to ob taln cargoes due to post-war slumps in shipping. Taking advantage of this circum stance, a group of men organized a concern called the Murine Warehouse company, with a capital of 10,000.000 yen; bought the wooden ships nnd started a floating warehouse business. The company Is now engaged In es tablishing eight floating warehouses of 1.000 tons each In the harbor of Kobe, The ships are to be attended by three launches of 1,000 tons capacity each. The aquatic warehouses, being exempt ed from extortionate rent nnd taxes, nnd largely free from the danger of fire, In addition to many peculiar ad vantages consequential to their mova ble character shnll be able, It I claimed, to carry on the business nt a much lower rate with greater facility, providing a formidable enemy, In th future, of their terrestrial cousins. Fast and West News. WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY Intimate of Great Editor Declare Swearing Was More Than a Bad Habit With Him. Joseph Pulitzer, the f anions blind founder of the New York World, was not always n purist In language. At least so writes Charles Ohapln. who was for 20 years city editor of the Evening World, In nil autobiography, called "Charles Chapln's Story." "Sometimes when I was rending to him he would become explosively pro fane," writes Chapln. "And how shockingly thnl blind man could swear! With him profanity was more of nn art than a vice, time when 1 had read something to him that made him ongry with the writer's stupidity he swore so passionately anil so loud and grew so choleric and red In the face that I feared something Inside of him might snap. "Suddenly he checked himself nnd pricked up his ears. There were angry voices In an adjoining room. One of his young sons was having a run-In with his lutor and was forcibly telling what he thought of him. A peculiar expression, I mixture of nnnoyance and amusement came over my employ er's countenance. "'Dear me,' be said, '1 wonder where that boy learned to swenr.' He didn't litter another oath during the remain der of my visit." Combustible's Many Uses. If the farmer can't make the old hnrse go on straw and corncobs per haps ho can run his car, his trnctor and his stationary engine with gas made from them. That's the problem the department of agriculture Is strug gling with, says (he Nation's Business. Already Its experimenters have run an automobile with the new combustible nnd used It for lighting and cooking. If the results of these tests warrant further Investigation the experiments will he extended to the problem of plant equipment for producing the gns on n scale sufllclent to allow the farm er to supply light nnd heat for his bouse, power for stationary engines, nnd possibly for his tractor from a small Individual outfit. If suitable unit can be constructed It seems likely that the straw gas may have a certain economic value lit the sections of the country where the raw material from which the gns Is made Is now con sidered as waste and burned or left to rot. Sentiment Rules. Ponderous government machinery gave way to sentiment when Mat. Oen. John A. Lejeune. commandant of the marine corps, ouihorlzed the re-enllst-ment In Los Angeles of two Armenians who served In the A. E. I'.. Peter Mosgoflan and Paiseh Normanlan. for the purpose of Joining the marine" on the I'nited States steamship Chnt'n nooga, now nt Constantinople.

They WtU lenvc Philadelphia this Month, via the United States steamship St. Louis, for 'iuikish waters. Record Parachute Drop. The official record for a parachute , drop has been accredited to Lieut John H. Wilson, U. S. A., of the Ninety-sixth Aero squadron, Kelley Field, Texas. Tie r, has been a ques tion as to whether a parachute would open satisfactorily in rarefied at mosphere. The lieutenant demon strated that It wvaM when he leaped from an army airplane at an altitude of 19,861 feet, and 17 minutes Inter made safe landing.- Scientific American. Philippine Coal.
