Most of us have thought of the famous scientist as a solemn sort of person, but Irene has discovered that she most decidedly had a lighter side.

For example, she was the best dancer in her village, and loved music. Incidentally, Irene has drawn another plum out of the motion picture pie. One of the three pictures which she is to do for Paramount is The Count of Luxembourg. Gladys Swarthout seemed to be all set for it, but, although she is beautiful and has a lovely is not too good in pictures. Her technique seems to be better suited to opera than to the screen, ist when practically all the people of all the civilized countries of the world by paying a small price for a seat in a cinema theater look round the world and back again.

The camera man has completely replaced the men who used to go forth and view the world and bring home pictures of it to be thrown on a still screen. From your seat in a theater you can view the Eskimo catching a seal which will provide him with his supper and an overcoat, with a good clear glance at the peaks of the Alps the Andes, or at Elephants a pilin teak in Bur mah. Minds feed on what the eyes see. Wherever there is anything worth seeing the camera goes. Loving their work, and eager to bring home pictures of all the known world, these daredevils of the films are never daunted by obstacles, or by dangers.

To me it has always been astonishing that every school room in every city and village and town has not long ago been provided with cameras and screens to aid the children in their work. Not only would they vastly broaden the view of many sections of the world, but they could, I should think, be tremendously useful in teaching such subjects as biology and zoology An intelligent teacher provided with a moving picture projector and a stock of films would never lack the earnest attention of her pupils. Even pictures which only incidentally show the streets of foreign cities would be valuable What they would do if wisely used would prove a marvel. Nebraska City, Neb. The head toll-taker at the Waubansie bridge here that joins Iowa and Nebraska, is wondering if a certain European dictator, the newest of that expanding group, would answer his letter.

It is the opinion of Will Luebben, the toll-taker, that Dictator Karlis Ulmanis will, if he isnt too busy dictating to the peoples of the exrepublic of Latvia. For Will remembers distinctly when Dictator Ulmanis was nothing more than his own assistant as a buttermaker in a Council Bluffs (Iowa) creamery. Political Refugee Will also remembers how the thirty-year-old agricultural editor' from Riga, and a political refugee to boot, set about to acquire further learning and education. He lived on only 15 cents a day, saving his money for books and tui-ition at the University of Nebraska He brought a loaf of bread to work with him every Luebben explained. That'was an initial investment of 5 cents.

He broke it in two, drew a quart of sweet milk from a vat in the creamery. That was breakfast. For lunch, he would spend 10 cents for a heaping plate of beans. Usually a piece of bread went along with the beans free. In the evening, before he left 'the creamery, he would eat the other half of his loaf, washed down, with another quart of milk.

His Dairy Failed After attending the University of Nebraska, he obtained financial backing and went to Texas where he started a dairy of his own. But this venture failed. About this time he received word that an amnesty had been declared, for all political prisoners, so back to Riga he went to take up his editorial work. It wasnt long until imperial Rus sia was seized by Bolsheviks and Latvia seemed to favor the Communists. But Germany marched into Latvia and the little country was under German rule until the defeat of the latter by the allies.

Latvia was quick to take the opportunity to declare itself an independent nation. Karlis Ulmanis (known in Lincoln and Council Bluffs as Ulman) was named president. A few years later his title was advanced to premier. Recently he grew further in stature: He is now president-premier, or the complete dictator. Pattern 1191 vary them by using up colorful scraps.

Season's Beauties Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. Dickens. Ball Bearing Houses Mr. R. W.

De Montalk, a New Zealand architect, who specializes in planning earthquake-proof buildings, holds a theory that damage to tall structures seldom results from the sudden sinking or upthrust the soil. He has noted that when a tremor occurs, buildings sway until their foundations crack and the wails crumble due to intense rigidity. He has planned and tried out small houses built on huge, rounded beach- stones, standing on a concrete, saucerlike base. During an earthquake these stones move backwards and forwards very slightly, take the shock in the same way as ball bearings do, and the structure remains upright and unaffected. He now intends to try his novel foundation out -on a.

skyscraper, and believes that it will defy all but the severest tremors. Unavailing Remorse LIFE NEED to be careful how we deal with those about us, for Death carries with it to some small circle of survivors thoughts of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired. Such recollections are among the bitterest we can have. There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its pains, let us remember in time. Dickens.

It was 55 years ago. William Steinway, founder of the piano house that bears his name, had just been elected first president of the Liederkranz society, an organization of music-loving Germans that has sung its way down to the present day. On him (fell the duty of selecting a site for the home of the society. Two properties were available at exactly the same price, one at Park avenue and Fifty-ninth street and the other adjoining it on Fifty-ninth street. Mr.

Steinway gave due consideration to the advantages and disadvantages of both. In the end, he decided that the inside plot was more desirable. His reasoning was simple and direct. A building on a corner necessarily would have more windows than one on an inside plot. In those days, windows had to be washed just as they do now.

So, with an inside building, the upkeep would be less. Other singing societies, including the Arion and Fidelio, came into existence and Park avenue frontage was acquired. Thus, the start of Harmony Row," the name by which the properties are still known. Also, later, a 15-story apartment house was built on the corner. The other societies gave up and for some time the Liederkranz has been seeking other quarters.

Recently, the Columbia Broadcasting company acquired Harmony Row and will build a new home on it. Thus, in a way, Harmony Row will be preserved. The. new building will have frontage on both Park avenue and Fifty-ninth street and will be L-shaped. And the thrift of the first Liederkranz president is the reason.

Encountered an old friend out at Coney island Rosy. She was the star of Billy Roses Jumbo but when he took the show down to Fort Worth, he left Rosy behind. For some time, she was a lonely prisoner in the basement of the old Hippodrome. Now shes billed as the sacred white elephant. I first met Rosy years ago.

The school children of Detroit contributed their pennies to buy an elephant for Belle Isle and I was commissioned to make the purchase. That necessitated visits to the Hagenbeck depot over in Hoboken where Rosy was on sale, But the decision was in favor of young elephant that would grow up with the children, hence Sheba. But I got so friendly with Rosy that she ate my straw hat. I guess an elephant never does forget. At any rate, the instant she saw me out at Coney, Rosy reached for my Virgin islands panama.

W. 17M Marlene Dietrich finally got off to New York and then to. Europe, with 19 trunks (she took an extra room on the train for the trunks, so that theyd be handy whenever she wanted to change), various servants and attendants, and her daughter.

Interviewed her arrival in New York, she said all the right things that American women were the most beautiful in the world, that Garbo was her favorite actress, etc. She was dressed in a sheer black frock, and a tiny hat, trimmed, of with feathers. If you love thrills and automobile racing, be sure to see Speed, with James Stewart and Wendy Barrie. Young Mr. Stewart is climbing fast, perhaps because hes so natural, perhaps because all of us who go to pictures seem to be getting tired of too-handsome men.

As for Wendy Barrie, she is charming. Incidentally, shes been seen around again with the young millionaire whom rumor had her all set to marry when she landed on these shores. Warren Hull is both resourceful and sensible. His young sons want; ed a swimming pool, but Hull is one movie actor who refuses to have a pool (and what with the cost of the pool and the cost of keeping it filled, who can blame him?) So he did what, fathers all over the land have done; had a tank built, seven by nine, that can be filled easily with the garden hose, and now everybodys happy. Joan Crawfords favorite records are no longer those made by Bing Crosby.

Heatpaeet Cities. Ohio Museum Pioneer Relics Widely Viewed Upper Sandusky, Ohio. A museum that began in 1929 as an exhibit of American pioneer relics has grown to attract such wide interest that its visitors book bears names from every state and many from foreign countries.

MISCELLANEOUS Bridge Rated Fine Art Vancouver, B. C.

Soft ball and bridge have been elevated to the fine arts by Vancouvers public library. The librarys latest report lists a book of official rules of soft-ball and a book on bridge under the fine arts section, along with such intricate hobbies as hand-loom weaving and metalcraft. Always learning something through conversing with taxicab drivers. For instance, whenever a taxi driver leaves his cab to eat a bite, do an errand or anything else, he takes out his card bearing his picture and number and places it "carefully in his pocket. A police regulation is the cause.

The license might be stolen and put to some improper use. if a cop comes along and finds it unguarded, he confiscates it. In order to get it back, the driver has to go to tiie hacking bureau. There it is either returned or a duplicate is issued. But and hence all the care the driver is barred from driving his cab for the next three days.

Still another bit of knowledge was that drivers for some companies must show a fixed amount on the meter when they turn in their cabs. If they dont, they are not allowed to take out a cab the next day. So, the driver, seeing he hasn't reached the minimum, pulls down his flag and drives until he makes it up, the difference coming out of his own pocket. That practice is known as "riding the ghost. Leave it to a New York young' ater to spot a chance to pick up a bit of change.
