NOW that Rudolph Valentino and the former Winifred Hudnut have decided to go their separate yvays, temporarily at least, Broad way is indulging in much whis pered speculation, accompanied by vigorous eyebrow calisthenics, as to “Rudy’s” future associations— tnarital and otherwise. * One of the hardiest of these White Way rumors connects the pame of the Great Lover of the screen with that of winsome Ruth Waddell, the 16-year-old beauty of Astoria, Long Island, who recently achieved fame as winner of the 6econd SI,OOO check in Smart Set magazine’s cover model contest. The wise ones declare that Rudy was the first of the scores of man agers and celebrities who rushed to congratulate smiling, blond haired Ruth as soon as Broadway learned that David Wark Griffith had presented her with the SI,OOO prize on behalf of Smart Set. The meeting took place in the beautiful studio where Artist Henry Clive was busily posing Miss Waddell for the portrait in oils which was used as the cover of ] Ancient City Discovered in North Carolina Hills Washington. Sepf. 30.—John R. Harriett, of iVnland, Mitchell county.l North Carolina, has unearthed some thing akin to the tomb of King Tut. In a letter to Senator Overman he has asked for a government expert to look into his find. “I have on my place on Bear (’reek, four milet> north of here, an ancient city, uncovered by mining.” Mr. Bart lett wrote. “Would like to haye you give me the names and addresses of the government geologists who handle this kind of matter, ami if possible some one who could read the inscriptions on the engraved rocks. Can get out samples of the rock* and forward them if they wish to see New Found Letter Shows Franklin’s Kite Claims True Cincinnati, Oct. I.—(/P) —Lately i American historians have been bomb- i ing I lie story of the flight of Benja- i min Franklin’s electricity detecting : kite. They have attempted to rele- i gate the legend to the junk heap of 1 historical fallacies. Their claim has i been that, had Franklin tried the ex- < pertinent, he would have been electro- i cuted and burned to a crisp brown i crust. i But a book has been discovered, . piled with 12,000 other volumes in a i garage store room owned by the Cin, ] cinnati public library, containing a i letter written by Franklin himself on the experiment aud its results. The : volume is a compendium of many let- i ters written by Franklin and members 1 of the Royal Scientifis Society of Lon- 1 don. AY’hile the story handed down placed ed the scene of the trial in the tower ! of old Christ Church in Philadelphia. Franklin fails to mention the locality, j It is also evident that he had no in- , tention of attracting lightning to his ' kite, but that he merely wanted to prove the presence of electrical energy in the atmosphere during a thunder storm. JThe letter was written probably in I 1752. His observations and instruc tions follow : “Make a cross of two light strips of cedar, the arms so long as to reach the four corners of a large silk hand kerchief when extended; tie the cor ners of the handkerchief to thg .ex tremities of the cross, so you have the body of a kite, which being prop- This Young Man Has Grandparents Galore. , * .

Valen tino was so struck with the girlish charm of the contest winner that he stayed for more than an hour talking over her movie ambitions, and discussing her points of beauty with Mr. Clive. And now heated discussions as to the approved technique of the latest “Charleston” step are fre quently’ interrupted by gossip of the progress of the Waddell-Valen tino “affair.” Authoritative re ports have it that the lucky Long Island girl will at least have the honor of sharing the final fade-out with Rudolph in the picture that follows his latest production, “The Lone Eagle”—if she does not achieve an even closer connection. There are some, however, who point out that the SI,OOO contest for Chicago’s Prettiest Girl, in which Smart Set is cooperating with the Chicago "Evening Ameri can,” will bring into prominence dozens of other beautiful girls, and insist that the screen star will wait until he has had a glimpse of the fair Chicago winners before i selecting his next leading lady. them.

Two large stones set up north anil south of this large one, about six inches thick, show a lot of writ ing. The best information I can get is that this was done from 400 to 600 years before Christ.

To the top of the upright stick of the cros is to be fixed a very sharp point ed wire, rising a foot or more above the wood. To the end of the twine next to the hand, is to be tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk and twine join a key may be fastened.

And when the rain has wet the twine so that it ctfn conduct the elec tric fire freely, you will find it stream out plentifully from the key on the approach of your knuckle. At this key. a phial may be attached, and from electric fire , thus obtained, spir its may be ignited and all the other electric* experiments performed which are usually done by a rubbed glass globe or tube, and thereby the same ness of the electric matter with that of lightning completely demonstrated.” Dorcas A.

Mr. Lowery says that In passing the Lee hardware store the other day, he heard the following conver sation from within: Judge of your denying the taking of those chickens. I live next door to that place and aaw you with my own eyes.” Shorty: “All right, jedge, if you saw me wid youafc own eyes, dat’s different. I thought maybe aome ob deae triflin' niggers had been lying! on me.” 1 Students Who Don’t Study and Teachers Who Don’t Teach It si not alone in politics nr in- mil itary life that the business of “pass-’ ing the buck" is commonly practiced. It has invaded the field of education, says the Raleigh News and Observer. Go into any home, now that schools' are open for it new session, and hear parents and children discuss why the children do not take a keener interest j in their studies and make greater ad vancement. You are told that the fault is with the teacher and that lack of power to interest is the rea son why the boy prefers the movie to the schoolroom. If the teacher had the power to attract or take the prop er interest in Johnnie, he would be come a great scholar." If. by chance, yon could drop into a teachers’ meet ing. you could often get nearer the truth. "The children are permitted to do as they please at home, they go to movies at night when they should pre pare their lessons, they resent disci pline ami seem to spend more time to keep from learning than to imbibe instruction. This passing the buck goes further. The college authorities explain the de fects of pupils to the lack of thorough instruction in the high schools and the high school professors lay the blame on college professors. Where lies the blame? As a rule parents put the onus on teachers when their children do not learn and teaohers do not hesitate to tell how they strive in vain to obtain the necessary eo-opemtiop of teacher and pnpils. If nobody went to college except those keen to learn, the diffi culty would largely be solved. In an effort to weed out the indifferent stu dents who are “sent to college" higher college tests are being established. These more difficult entrance exami nations have been widely approved, but is there not another side to the question? G. I’. Dinsbip, of Cam bridge. Mass., in writing in the New York Times upon this object, raises some questions which must interest all teachers and parents and serious minded students. He writes: 4 President Little of the I’niversity of Michigan is reported by The Asso ciated Press to have said that 85 per cent, of college undergraduates do not go to college to study. He pro poses to reduce this proportion by making the entrance requirements more difficult. , There is a corollary to President Little's observation which I have not seen mentioned in the discussions of how college students spend their time. This is that there seems to me a dis tinct relationship between the per centage of professors who are not good teachers. My own opportunities for observation have been only occas ional, but I have noticed, with much interest, that college professors who have a reputation as good teachers, and who pay more attention to their classroom work than to their personal studies, have large classes of volun teer students and do not have difficul ty in getting their students to work. If I am right in thinking that the reason why So per cent, of the col lege students do not study is because So per cent, of the faculty do not know how to teach them, the remedy does not lie in the entrance examinu to Protect J --'As Well as to I Beautify M When you get ready to paint and are talking it over, debating this color and that, don’t overlook the most gest job paint has to do is to save the surface. It is a well known fact that Pee Gee Mastic Paint has never been surpassed in protecting any surface to which applied. Its beauty is an incident to its real value —adding long years of life to your home, barn, out buildings—wherever used. It stays “put” and retains its Ritchie Hardware \ m / Ph° ne 177 S. Union St. finns. My impression is that mqst of ■ the harping on the need of making the way into college more d ffieuft is a smoke screen behind which members of college faculties are concealing 'their inability to impart to others the knowledge and interest they pessess in the subjects which they proffs-s. | They are. of course, quite justified In doing this if the college exists, as some seem to think, for the sake of the professors. If, however, it is the student who is important, eollege executives mast find some way to free themselves from the thralidom of their faculties, by insisting that new appointments, and promotions as well, shall depend pri marily upon ’'ability to impart knowl edge .and interest to young people. This, and not stiffer entrance require ments. is the way to increase the number of graduates who will through out tlfeir lives do credit to their Alma Mater. President Little is himself, if ru mor may be trusted, a shining example of the importance of not neglecting the 85 per cent, he now wishes to get rid of. With his abilities he would . undoubtedly by now be a multi-mil? lionaire if he had been denied en trance to eollege. Instead, he passed most .of his four years in college with no thought of academic distinction, until chance, rather than intention on his part threw him under the spell of a teacher who inspired him with an abiding passion to find out certain things. Today as President of Michigan I'niversity, with a recogniz ed reputation as a medical scientist. 1 there is no man in Amerien with greater opportunities for usefulness to the nation as a whole—if he does not persist in raising the entrance re quirements. Consideration should bo given to the fact that most colleges and uni versities are suported by public tax ation, and are set apart to give in struction to the many who stand in need of its advantages. Therefore, ■ the duty of eollege authorities to o]ien the doors wider instead of making entrance more dijeult. Tests are be-: ing changed, he present unit sys- j tern is undergoing criticism and is far] from perfect. The elective system has I not proved its value. No hard and j fast rules are perfect. After all, the 1 only college is one Where teachers know how to teach, and in the final analysis the need is to substitute teach ers for research professors. There are foundations for research work ami there must be opportunity for a cer tain amount of research work in sep arate and different from teaching the students. No matter how learned a man is unless ho has the gift of im parting instruction to youth lie has no place at a college or university. It is hard enough for the most gifted teacher to awaken the minds and kin dle the enthusiasm of students for knowledge. If a scholar finds he lacks this Csential, he should find his ; calling. If he persists in holding down a chair when he does not measure np to the greatest need of his students, the authorities should take steps to secure teachers who love to teach and who have genius for this most im portant and difficult calling.

I soon could «at anything any time. “I use it for colds and bilious ness and it will knock out a cold and carry away the bile better and quicker than any liver medicine I have ever found.’’ Eating too fast, too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes discomfort after meals. A pinch of Black-Draught, washed down with a swallow of water, will help to bring prompt relief. Bloat ed sensations, ernctations, bad breath and other common symptoms of indigestion have disappeared after Black-Draught has been taken tor several days. NO-16A
