CHICAGO—Well about all I know
Is just what I read In the papers, and
what 1 have been seeing as 1 been
prowling around
convention-
ward. Course I
been writing you a
lot about them so
we better dig up
something more
pleasant. Holly-
wood is what 1 am
asked more about
back here than all
the politics. Every-
body has their fa-
vorites and they
want to know how
tney are getting on. “Hows Clara
Bow”? “Did you see Barrymore’s
new Baby?" “Is it so that there Is
no such person as Greta Garbo?” "Why
dont you make another good picture
once In awhile?” “Who do you have
to look like to get in the Uovles?”
“If we go to the Olympic Games can
we get in and see em make pictures?"
Well they just ask you so many ques-
tions I dldent hardly have time to tell
em who was going to be elected Presi-
dent.
Now about Clara Bow. Clara is up
on her ranch in Nevada. She married
Rex Bell, a boy that played with me
in "They Had To -See Paris" He
was the sweetheart of my daughter
(Margaret Churchill) before she went
to Paris. Then he also was with us
hi "Llghtnln”.
Now you have heard of "Ranches”.
Everything out here that is not an
apartment is a "Ranch”. If you got
twenty feet in your back yard its a
"Ranch”. If you got an old Avacado
Bush, (no matter if it bears or not)
why its an “Avacado Ranch”. "Lemon
Ranches" "Orange Ranches" "Peanut
Ranches" ‘Rabbit Ranches" "Squab
Ranches", we even call mine a
“Ranch” and there is nothing on it
but an old Polo Field, a few calves to
rope at, and some old Cow Ponies.
But what I started to tell you was
that Clara Bow’s is “A" Ranch. Its
right out in about the remotest set-
tled part of America there is, the
desert country out west of Boulder
Dam. I never have been there, but
I have flown over It. and know the
country. Neighbors? I expect their
nearest neighbor is the Dam, about
SO miles away. And they got cattle
on it. Its a Cattle Ranch. “Big Boy”
Williams has one up in that country.
Their stock ranges for over a hun-
dred miles.
Now about Barrymores new Baby.
I never did see the old one. Or has
he got another one? I believe he has,
but he’s got a pretty wife, and he’s
not bad looking himself so they are
liable to have a mighty pretty little
Baby. This Baby thing has got to be
quite an epidemic out here in the
movies, there Is more Babies being
born out here than In any time since
I can remember. 1 dont know if its
depression or unemployment or what,
but a lot of em that never raised any
children before are doing It uow. I
guess there Is fads in child raising
just like In anything else. Paul White-
man and his wife Margaret Livingston
(I think that was her name) by the
way she worked with me In a picture
In the silent days, called “Water
Water Everywhere”. It was Irene
Rich’s first picture with us. It was a
western, and I had to swim out Into
a river and rescue ner from drowning.
I was on horseback however, add, I
had to take her up on my horse and
carry her to town. Now a drowned
woman that is all wet is mighty hard
to carry with you on a running horse,
and its hard on the lady too. And I
never see Margaret that I dont think
of that ride. We took it in the Kern
River out of Bakersfield. Its as hard
to find a running river in Southern
California as it is a drowning woman.
The Athletes dre drifting in here.
Most of the runners are walking in.
Its kinder hard to predict just how
the Crowds will
turn out for thaL
Its a funny
Just when
think people
no money
something wont do
any business why
its packed.
We are living in
an age of selected
entertain-
ment. They will be
here If they want
to see em, and if
they dont they wont. Folks used to
not know what they wanted, but tbey
sho do now. We are getting every-
thing cleaned up out here for the
Games. The place dont look natural.
If nobody dont come we will just
have had all this trouble for nothing.
I will sho be glad when I can dirty
up my place again. Coriimltte even
told us to curry our horses. Why l
would as soon try to skin some of
my old ponies as I would try to curry
em.
Well Its getting late, and I havent
seen much of Chicago yet. So I think
I will go find a couple of Senators and
see the town. I wont let anybody know
they are Senators then we can get
into the best places. Everybody that
you ever read of that manhandles our
country is here. Both sides are tryin-
to get their clutches on it tor the next
four years, so no matter what hap-
pens there is little hope for us. Some-
times you wish politics were like Hol-
lywood Babies, just a passing fad.

Variety of Offerings
to Attract Business
It would be interesting to know
which of the world's Journals started
the practice of bestowing what are
nowadays horridly termed "free gifts”
on Its readers. The earliest instance
I know of was that of the Paris Fi-
garo, which somewhere about the mid-
dle of last century sent a case of or-
anges to each annual subscriber. A
grave political sheet. “Standard," gave
boxes of sweets to Its subscribers at
Christmas time In 1888.
About the same time Paris restau-
rants took to supplying a new install-
ment of some popular novel with the
hors-d’oeuvre, after giving due warn-
ing, so people dined there day after
day until the tale was told. Reading
rooms gave free tickets to certain res-
taurants, so that after Oiling the mind
one could go round the corner and
stoke up the vile body.
A wine shop proprietor offered to
clothe his customers free; each gar-
ment was given after the consump-
tion of a certain number of a certain
sort of drink. Sprightly “lads of the
village” who had lost a hat or needed
another pair of boots used to round up
a crowd of friends, who vowed to Im-
bibe the requisite number of glasses.
A necktie or a ring, however, could
be "earned” at one session, without
help. If one had a fairly strong head.—
Manchester (Eng.) Guardian.
Causes
Boy's essay on a goose: "The goose
is m low heavy set bird, composed
mostly of meat and feathers. Ills
head sets on oue end and he sets
on the other. He cannot sing much
on account of the dampness in the
moisture in which be lives. There
ain’t no space between his toes and
he carries a balloon In his stomach
to keep from sinking. A goose has
i wo legs on his running gear that they
i a me near missing his body. Some
geese when they get big are ealleu
ganders. Ganders don't have to sei
>r hatch, but just loaf, eat, and go
-wimmlng. If I was to be a goose.
I’d rather he a gander."

Entire Body Affected
by Overstrained Eyes
Eye-strain is as injurious to the hu-
man system as an actual defect la the
structure of the eye, according to the
reports of hundreds of eyesight special-
ists questioned by the Better Vision in-
stitute. Normal eyes that are sub-
jected to the continuous burden of fine
work requiring close application are
forced to recruit their nervous energies
from the supply which Is intended for
other functions, and the result is a
tired condition of the entire body.
Headaches are to be expected, but the
sapped vitality often takes unexpected
forms, such as digestive disorders and
kidney and back troubles.
“Strained eyes are racketeers of the
nervous system.” says M. J. Julian, di-
rector of the Institute. "The human
body has s limited supply of nervous
energy at Its disposal, and if one part
of the body draws more than Its nor-
mal share, other parts rare bound to
suffer. The proper glasses restore the
right distrlbutlou of energy to the
body.”
The Evergreen’s “King”
It seems to be nature’s Intention
that all evergreen trees shall have one
main spike, which rises straight up.
The spruce, as an example, grows In
this way with the side branches going
straight out parallel to the ground
from the base of the upright. The
upright then spronts a number of
branches at Its tip to repeat the proc-
ess. If through Injury or pruning, the
center or upright branch of a new
series Is killed all of the side branches
at this point turn gradually upward
and this continues for some time until
one, through some mysterious selec-
tion, asserts itself as the, main branch
and the others then gradually drop
back to their horizontal position and
the tree resumes once more Its normal
growth.

Clergy’* Wive* Live Long
The expectation of life still shows
an upward trend. Of thirty-two peo-
ple whose deaths were announced In
England one day recently, five were
over ninety years old, twelve over
eighty and eight over seventy, with
the average age seventy-seven years.
Since the beginning of this century
there has been a great advance In the
average life of the British people.
Forty years ago a baby would have
a life expectation of about forty-five
years. According to the present av-
erage, a healthy child today may be
expected to live until It Is fifty-eight.
Clergymen, It Is stated, are among the
longest lived persons, and their wives
reach an even greater age.—London

ond ; according to one calculation It
takes about 8,000,000 cubic feet of
smoke for each letter, a mile long.
