It is not surprising of one small boy in these parts develops what is popularly known as "the swell head." "When an infant child is the heart and soul and center of a regular, full length picture, with people like Wheeler a in a and Raymond a t-j ton and Doris May running' around in cir cles, playing up to his antics. It's quite reasonable to suppose he'll be a trifle spoiled by it Jackie Coogan. all. Of course you know I am talking about young Jack Coogan, who is Peck's Bad Boy at the Strand this week. A very clever and decidedly appealing youngster, he marched from co-stardom with C.

Chaplin in "The Kid." to the full stature jcf movie importance in this story. But he is, after all, a baby child and an entire film devoted to his naughtiness palls just a bit after it has run on and on for reels. Don't misunderstand me, "Peck's Bad Boy" ia vastly amusing, and it has its moments of excitement, as when the offsprifig of the house of Peck is rescued from a handcar running full tilt in the path of a locomotive. It is bound, I think, to be extraordinarily popular. So popular that it is not worth while to bother about the possible inflation of young Jack's cranium.

Let's, hope that he's given enough play time between pictures to forget the fame that has been thrust upon him. Hoy's $500,000 Estate Completely Wiped Out By War Plus Taxes Chicago. War and taxes have combined in what internal revenue officials said they believed tobe the practical annihilation of a $500,000 estate. The estate is that of Mrs. Mary E.

Hoy. who fell a victim to exposure following the torpedoing of the Laconia by a German submarine, February 24. 1917. Austin Young Hoy, the present beneficiary under the will, may have to borrow the money to pay the government what he owes in taxes. He is the son of Mrs.

So long as old hokum is good hokum there is no odium attached to it. "The Traveling Salesman" has all the tags of rare old stuff; the unpaid taxes on the heroine's property, giving the villain a chance to force her to marry him; love at first sight and ether unmistakable signs. Nothing, anyway, can be older than love at first sight. But it seems amusing, and honest, too, when the rapt and cow-like gaze of Fatty Arbuckle meets the charming glance of Betty Ross Clark. Even M.

Arbuckle, robust Romeo that he is. manages to make you believe he is aware of the mystery and the ecstasy of romance, it is not easy to understand, but the fact is there. "I think "The Traveling Salesman" is the best picture he has had in ages and ages. It has a line, rapid swinjr to it and is as funny as it should be. Miss Clark, before mentioned, has a look of Alice Joyce about her, and she is sensible enough to eppear in the unpretentious clothes a town girl would be likely to wear, instead of trotting off to her job in the telegraph office dressed in some simple little thing from Paquin.

She is a native of Langdon, North Dakota; has had a stage career in stock and other shows, and is the proud possessor of light brown hair, gray eyes. How's that for a thnirb-nail biography? OLD-TIME GIRL CANNOT COMPETE WITH THE MODERN Chicago. The old fashioned girl is passing. Into her place is stepping a brilliant, self-reliant purposeful feminine type the modern American girl. And with critics deploring the extreme dress of the girl of today, Mary Ross Potter, dean of women at Northwestern University, came to bte defense.

"There is a question whether the Did standards are best," Dean Potter said today. "Time will tell. "We should not judge too harshly. Let ua build for the future. io not restrict the youns Kirls, but give them a chance.

"Everything is keyed up to the maximum. Life is very, very complicated in this transition period and in transition the younger generation is generally more susceptible to the thrill and excitement. And they go to extremes because this is a day of extremes." Dean Potter admitted that the ultra-fashionable dress and the modern dance steps are often lamentable, yet she believed that the modern college bred girl puts greater en thusiasm into frivolities. Once she has "found herself," the modern girl is an ideal type. "The spirit of optimism in the modern girl is admirable," com mented lean Potter.

enters into training for life work as seri ously as the young man social service and journalism seem most popular." The random' girl with vocational training and exierience, in business, makes an ideal helpmate, according to Dean Potter, for she becomes more than a housewife she is a real comrade to her husband. Dean Potter does not think married women should help earn a living. "She will find, enough to occupy herself in the home and with her children." she said.
