I told him I thought that was not nice at all. It's not that I'm a bound for the eye punishment. which one gets from the shooting and kissing and which greet our wistful orhs whea we want a filmed play. But I do go as a matter of amusement, edu-cation and bablt. I believe that the movie began as a Nickelodeon for It was run on a five-ce-basis, but now It's a great Indus-try like Standard Oil or C. 8. Steel. It has stork because people take stock Id It But there are limits to the screen and yon mustn't expect It to educate you the way day school and night school da There's a moral censorship of the screen, so I have beard, but It seems to me that there should be a mental one, too. We don't want to have the conscience shocked by a low-tone- d performance, and we don't want onr brains to be stung by a ahow either. There have been and still are great . tnlnds which have devoted themselves to the stage Bernhardt, Duse, John , Drew, Mantell, Southern and Marlowe. '. Ton can't compare Hollywood names with these, can you? ' Ton and I want tn see a show with some sense to It. We'll stand for all 1 the horse-pla- y and monkey-busines-the kisses and the plea, If only the film-mak- will make the film seem j natural. We bate to be kidded by these screened fairy tales which are supposed to give ua real life. In the other arts the best minds ! set the standard of taste. The archi tect of the Taj Mahal or the Parthe-non didn't try to figure out what the gang In India and Greece would like, lie gave them the Ideal In stone. The great painter haven't ever acted like the boys who make op the coralo strips for the edification of thoughtless people. No, the fellows like. Raphael and Correglo, who flung the fancy brushes, gave people the best and let 'em take It or leave It The same with Shakespeare, whose old plays are still running, and Ibsen and Clyde Fitch. Even old Barnum gave something like an Ideal circus. But the movie has played down to low taste and when It becomes a movle-talkl- it may be shown op so that It will have to brace up to meet the demands of good sense and good taste. Every Kitten Has Its Day YES, she bas and this is the day. Mother's day once a year, but the flapper may claim the other 864 aa her very own. Then there art dog days In the good old summer time, but the kitten has whole calendar full of these purring days of the present .The way that the styles are figured out In Paris, If that's where they do ' come from, every girl has a chance to display ber charms. Even the plain girl can make a good Impression with these modern frocks to say nothing of hosiery. Ton see, it's like this: In the old days with the old patterns, about all you could see of a girl was her face, which was all tight If she happened to be pretty and nothing else. The plain-- ' v er girl who could shine tn a bathing suit where form counted, didn't have much of a chance, for one couldn't go bathing all the time. Rut the modern frock suits the plain girl to a T. Her face may not be dimpled, but she may be able to makeup for that with tricky ankles. Her countenance may not be resplend-ent but where form counts In the beauty game she's bound to score. Mother Nature Is certainly eccentric . when It comes to putting human be-ings together In separate bundles. She will stock a large bead with Its full face on s slender body, and try to pair off arms and legs when they are not at ell proportionate. The contrast between face and form Is very noticeable In most women, al-though now and then Nature will adapt the pretty face to the graceful body, but bow often the beauty of the village or town was not so proud of her shape, and how Just as often the girl whose face was not of the same candle power bad a figure that would make tbe Venus of Mllo want to reduce. . The girl who bas form with grace doesn't need to take any dust from the girl who has Just a pretty face but nothing about ber that would sug-- gest the dancer or swimmer. There ts charm about every woman no mat-ter how little she may think of the Im-pression she makes upon her mirror. and these are the days when a woman's charm baa Its chance. Much of this supposed beauty bnsl-nes- s Is not a matter of creams or pow-ders, but just plain health. Thank goodness, girls, that yon and 1 can move about In a free and easy costume where handsome Is that handsome does Its dally exercises and practices proper diet to say nothing of proper hours.

COLBY The First Steamboat RESEARCH reveals strange and facts. Robert Fulton did not build the first steamboat. Neither did be build the second nor the, third. And bis famous Clermont, which has come down In popular his-tory as the first steamboat, was not Fulton's first. When we get to digging Into dusty records we discover that one Wil-liam Henry, of Lancaster, Pa., had a boot which was operated with a steam engine and paddles in 1700. It wa a cumbersome affair and early In Its career was accidentally sunk. That dampened the hopes of William Henry. John Fitch a little later built an-other boot, an Improvement over Henry'a effort. It was sixty feet long, eight feet wide and Its paddles were fitted In the stern. It made s speed of seven miles an honr and records show that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were among those who marveled at Its me-chanical wonders. FHcb's boat, though It worked, was a finnnclnl failure. He commit led suicide In 1798 when bis backers deserted him. Next to try his hand at steamboat building was John Stevens of New Jersey. After experiments over a period of ten years he launched Ms first bout In 1708. Stevens was the first to nse a screw propellor. About the same time Inventors in England were at work on the same Idea. Robert Fulton was bora In a small town In Pennsylvania In 1705, five years after Henry had tried out his boat Fulton's parents were poor and while he early showed Inventive genius, he made his first money paint-ing pictures and drawing plana for bouses. Among Fulton's Intimates was Franklin and, on a visit to England, he became a friend of Watt, who was the Inventor of the steam engine. Ful-ton started his experiments In steam-boat development In 1802 and his first effort was lauuched In France. This boat was sunk, raised and rebuilt' He ordered a 24 horse-pow- en-gine from England In 1803 to be shipped to New lork. The result was the Clermont which was floated In 1806. The Clermont, 150 feet long, made Its first trip up the Hudson from New Tork to Albany, starting on Au-gust 17,, 1807. The trip was made tn about thirty hours. Fulton achieved the feat of making the first steamboat to be operated with profit, and within eight years ten boats which be designed were In operation. Hla next step was to build a fleet of ferry boats for operation across East river and the Hudson. Stevens was In the field almost as soon as Fulton. His steamer, the Phoenix, was In operation on the ware In 1807, a year after Fulton launched the Clermont, and by 1810 steamboats were In regular operation on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The famous Savannah was the first steamer to cross the Atlantic. This was accomplished tn 1810, but Fulton did not live to see It, having died tn 1811V. One of Fulton's gifts was the ability to make money. Before he was twenty-on- e years old, he had made enough profit from his paint brush and easel so that be presented bis mother with a small farm. He also developed as a gunsmith and computed new proportions for firearms. Gifted In mechanics, he bad the vision to make hla achievements practical. Fulton did not make the first steamboat, but he made the first profitable one and without profit noth-ing can succeed. That was the secret of bis fame. & till, Ltr B, Colby.)

Cecil Alter, in charge of the federal weathor bureau, showed. Sugar beets, tomatoes and apples are maturing rapidly and the weather has been ex-cellent for harvesting alfalfa, hay seed, and for threshing grain and alf-alfa seed. The alfalfa seed harvest is practically completed without frost injury. OGDEN Working forces of the Amalgamated Sugar company are busily engaged in putting the Ogden factory of the company in condition for the season's run to begin October 14. It Is said that beet digging will begin In Weber county about Octo-ber 10 and the factory will be put In commission four days later. The crop in Weber county is one of the heaviest In years, both in acreage and expected sugar content It is said also that labor conditions In Weber county are excellent, bu In Cache valley it may be necessary to import laborers for topping and digging. From 200 to 300 men will be needed in Cache val- - lav an A TAiL OGDEN Articles of Incorporation of the Ogden Union Stockyards com-pany were filed In the office of the Weber county clerk recently and in connection with the filing it was an-nounced that the new company, which Is a subsidiary of the Union Stock-yards company, which has been in successful operation in Ogden for a number of years.'had procured control of the stockyards at Pocatello and Montpeller, Idaho. The acquisition of these two stockyards Is expected to mean much to the bid Union stock-yards, as well as to vBtockgrowers throughout the Intermountali country.. AIRPORT DESIGNED LIKE THE BEEHIVE Novel Terminals Proposed by New Yorkers. --few lork. In n few years the air traveler may look down and regard a beehive on the earth with the same joyful anticipation that an ocean trav-eler sights land. For the beehive, one of the oldest forms of architecture, Inspired the newest plan for the nation's newest need, the airport, and one has been designed by Frances Really and E. I'. Goodrich, New York architect and city planner. Goodrich Is In Chita, having been commissioned by the Chinese govern-ment as consulting engineer in the de-velopment of a modern seaport at Canton and the laying out of a mod-ern capital city at Nanking. His plans call for aviation development and he will nse the beehive airport as a basis for this phase. This new aviation terminal strives to become an architectural asset rather than a liability. And It looks ahead to the time when air travel will be much more common than today, bleally said. Come and Go System. "It is designed ho that one-wa- y traffic becomes an automatic feature," explained Keally. "Twenty-tw- o air-planes and a dirigible can land while 22 airplanes can take off all at the same moment. "The average train leaving Grand Central station carries between 600 and 700 passengers ; thus the air-port ( can handle about the same amount of traffic. "The design la made so as to focus and clear from one point all the high speed traffic of the city. Thus, ' vehicular tunnels and subwsya can come right Into the airport and dis-charge their .. passengers, who then bop off tn planes. "All planes will start from and ar-rive at four terminals, which meet In a huge rotunda. Either the east-we- st or north-sout- terminals may be used to the advantage of the wind direction." The design calls for an airport 6,000 feet tn diameter, the landing surface of which ts covered with cinders, with enough space left for m DM 4 J. -- l. luunaf mAI mi mue lift emu plane, the length of the runway be-ing !!,500 feet "Tbe landing surface has a 2V6 per cent grade so that airplanes arriving will be helped by gravity to stop and airplanes taking off will be helped by a down-htl- l run," Keally continued. "A huge dome will cover the ro-tunda with storage space for several thousand airplanes supplied by two-stor- y hangars. . Above the dome will be a mooring mast for a dirigible and the top of the mast will be ex-actly 1,000 feet from the gronnd, the highest structure la the world. A City Itsslf. "Tbe outer crust of the dome-th- ink of It as the Inner and outer layers of a thermos bottle will be fashioned Into a hotel containing sev-eral hundred rooms. Each fifty story of this hotel will have a terrace so that guests can watch Incoming and outgoing planes. "Passengers who arrive by dirigi-ble will descend to hotel oi to ro-tunda by elevators. In the rotunda will be ticket offices and an outgoing and Incoming waiting room, with pub-lic health. Immigration and a room In which traffic men of the airport will get their Instructions from men In tbe tower. In other words, the airport will be a city Ic itself." How Smart Are Yub?

SUBCOOLED FOG IS GREATEST OF PERILS Solidifies in Layers of Ice on ' Aircraft. Cambridge, Mass. The peril of Ice forming on aircraft may come from three meteorological conditions, ac-cording to Dr. Alexander McAdie, of the Blue Hill Meteorological observa-tory. Harvard university. These are sleet, glaze and subcooled fog. The last, be says. Is the most dangerous. Subcooling means that the tiny va-por particles are actually slightly cold-er than the freezing point, although still ' water. This condition occurs when the air virtually Is free from dust and other particles, upon which the droplets might solidify. Water expands when It freezes, and the minute particles of fog Instead of freezing tend to spread more thinly through the air 'until they come In contact with some other surface. Im-mediately upon such contact, as the surfaces of aircraft, they solidify di-rectly Into a layer of Ice. ' In this case the temperature of the droplets Is de-- cldedly lower than that of the sur. face upon which they freeze. Doctor McAdie says the best way to escape from subcooled fog is to watch thermometers closely and seek levels, either lower or upper, at which tem-peratures are higher. When fibers of sweaters and the hairs of fur coots become covered with boar frost, It Is a sure sign of sub-cooled water. Glaze, which he says formerly er-roneously was called sleet occurs when rain drops near freezing tern, peratures fall upon a surface which Is much colder. Heal sleet Is due to raindrops full-ing through a layer of air below freez-ing, which turns them Into frozen rain-drops. An airplane moving through such a stratum when raindrops are coming from a warmer area above Is In a dangerous zone, for the accumu-lating frozen drops stick to one an-other readily and so build up a peril-ous load. Presumably, If a pilot recognizes ac-curately the sleet conditions, he can escape by climbing Into the warmer level above. State of Yucatan Seat of High Civilization The state of Xucatan Is known to historians as the seat of one of tbe highest civilizations developed In the western world prior to Its colonization by Europeans, but other than some very ancient ruins of which but little Is understood there are no Indications of the old-tim- e glory of the country. Although there were tbe remains of a highly developed civilization when the Spaniards arrived in 1517, the Mayas have left no record of their Institu-tions or of the causes of their decline beyond what may be deduced from their ruined structures. At present descendants of the Maya Indians com-prise 50 per cent of the total estimat-ed population of 858,000 persons. The Indians are Illiterate and have simple wants; they live on the large hene-que- n plantations and In the email country villages. Their principal oc-cupations are the cutting of henequen leaves and the extraction of fiber. Rontas to Foreign Land The Cnited States now has 9,000 miles of air routes connecting it with 16 foreign countries, while more than 5,000 miles, and at least four other nations will be added to the system In the near future. Rocket Plane Being Built in Germany Dusseldorf, Germany. A motorless propellerless rocket airplane, with stream line "arrow" body for greater speed. Is under construction here at the Espenlaub airplane factory. It was designed by Max Valier, In-ventor of the rocket automobile. Lifted Into the air by another plane, the new plane is to take off for its first flight by merely setting off its rockets and dropping the tow-lin- ' A monoplane, with a wing spread. It needs neither mo-tor nor propeller, because of Its rock-et system of propulsion. About 225 pounds in total weight are thus saved. Javanas Death Trap A new Valley of Death bus recently been discovered tn the Island, of Java, ' It Is simply the crater of an extinct volcano one-hal- f mile In circumference filled with carbonic acid gas which continually emanates from the fissures In the valley tn the bottom of tbe eratur. This gas, being Invisible and Incapable of being perceived by un-suspecting animals, is Inhaled by those luckless ones who enter the valley. The gas ts ptesent In the air In such large quantities that (lie animals are suffocated, and the ground Is covered with the bleaching bones of the ani-mals who have been caught In this death trap.

Large Condenser for Navy To the average radio fun, nccus tonied to using small fixed condens-ers, some of which are only a half Inch loni?. the thonpM of a condenser 8 feet long by l' feet wide Is most astonishing. Such condensers, how-ever, do exist and are In use today In the transmitting stations of the United States navy. These condens-ers take the form of round cylinders, the diameter of which Is 18 Inches, while the over-al- l height is over 6 feet Finicky Flyer A Stockton (Calif.) man, taking his first ride In on airplane on his seventy-ei-ghth birthday anniversary, wrote a letter to the transport company com plaining about women smoking in thi plane.
