Mr. Silver' statement wa con tained in a letter to the tenator in reply to the latter a expreitioti on the. Muicle Shoal question made public early in August.

Norma Talmadge has never bad a role for which she was better suited. It fits her better than the proverbial glove. Her art aa an actress, her beautiful matronllness, her petite glrllshness. Is given full play, and sne goes majestically through the plcturea, never losing for a moment her queenly place. We do not be lieve this picture better than "Smll ln' Througut," but equally as good. They don't make them better than either picture. The producers dared to make a costume play when cos tume plays were waning, but so mod ern Is this plot of Balzac's that you forget the period It portrays. And, unlike many costume plays, they left out the spectacular, leaving a con sistent, logical and meaty photoplay. Even when Norma, as the duchess, pretends a headache as a vamping ruse, sne does It with a simplicity and dignity that Is remarkable. Only blind men could fall to fall for her vamnlde. And her close-ups are more exquisite than ever.

He was not permitted to call at' her house or to beau her home after the service. Singing be side her in the house of God that was different. He told her now what he bad just learned, that the factory where he wa employed would close down the following week. Ktwood had worked his way up un til he had been made a foreman a few month before.

She had been trained, indeed, to regard Liu as by no mean a right of her. Mie had rather got the idea that bli a pretty sure to be indecent in. Marriage had been preached to hrr as a lofty duly, a kind of hiuher ordeal. Her father would have abhorred the thought that even it rjtr gave any franchise to rapture unrestrained. Wedlock to him was a responsibility, not a release from pruderies, a sol emnity, not a carnival. And now she was to be denied even that ombcr, laboriou suburb of Paradise. CHATTER II.

She coughed incessantly, cleverly trade-marked as the Kalvcrly , too ,n( fc,pt putting her hand to her Kalkulator, or "K-K-K." But peo; pie had suddenly ceased to buy add ing machines. The world's chief business was subtraction and cancel lation. The last of the uncanceled orders for the K-K-K would be fin ished in a few days. Mr. Seipp, the bank president, would not advance the money for further production. fcven the contribution baskets that were passed up the aisles during the services felt the omen.

Those who had tossed had never seen one. Vet again that had not saved her from A white brat wave drove the wan calm from her check, and a tcarlet war ensued in her veins. She wa the daughter of Eve and of Adam and of all of the Eve and Adams since sin began. But to hear her father talk, it miiiht have been moving picture machine instead of the sernent that tempted Eve to knowtede and started the eternal fjaradc- of wickedness. To hear her father talk, this tittle town of Calverlv had been a pre- Satanic Eden before the Los Angel esian movie crawled in. l et even this voting woman colild remember that be had preached almost thu same sermon against a long series of other amusements. He had never found the town anything but moras of wickedness. She felt a mad impulse to rise and crv down at him across the brass rail: "Fapa, don'tt For Heaven's sake, stop!" ' . For the sheer sake of true trutn, she was tempted to protest against the folly of such a crusade. It was bad enough in a newspaper. It seemed peculiarly heinous that such . . . I . .. , , I-- oau logic ana sucn recKiess .,iaie hood should be shouted gfrom a pulpit. But of course she made no sound, except to cough. The climax of her father's appeal was a jeremiad against the desecra tion of the Sabbath. ' The town's two little picture houses had proved so much more popular than anything ever known before, that they had ventured to slip in. per formances on Sunday nights without interference from the indolent police. The theater managers had claimed that, according to their creed, ithe true Sabbath did not fall on Sun- AK-SAR-BEf FIELD Beginning Tomorrow September 12 RACES 1:30 P.M.

It was the alarum of fate. She loved Elwood since thev were children had loved him all the more for his rags and the squalor of his home. He was the son of the town's most eminent drunkard, old "Fall-down Farnabv." a man whose office had been any saloon he could stand up in. Then prohibition ar rived and he had lacked headquarters, but not potations. An ineenuitv and an assiduity that would have made him a great explorer or a great in ventor kept him supplied at a time when there was no leeal liouor at all. and when what il' ii liquor there j wa to be had was expensive that even cneap moonshine whisky cost more man natea champagne had cost ocrore. Amonor the slipshod children nf til. uuunicu iamny ill wood had some how managed to acquire ambition. He had struggled no throutrh a of woe to a manhood of shackled promise.

Her father, however, had been un able to tolerate the thought of his daughter marrying the son of the town sot. Doctor Steddon felt that he was proving his love, his loving wisdom toward his daughter bv for bidding her even to meet voune Far naby outside the choir loft. He was sure that her love would wear out. He did not know his daughter. Who ever did? The great danger about the whole business of saving other people's souls seem to he that life keeps mocking the noblest efforts with fail ure as it mocks the most high minded playwrights. It is baffling to find that nothing is more effective in de stroying certain souls than the at tempt to save them. Such souls must be like caged birds that go mad with fear when the kindliest hand is thrust into the cage. They dash themselves against the bars; and if they escape from the tender est palm, they flash away to the wild woods. Doctor Steddon was never more devoted than when.he warned his girt to avoid young Farnaby. When she refused his advice he forbade her to see the boy. She felt that she obeyed a higher duty when she se cretly disobeyed her father. She met the young man secretly whenever she could steal away. Her mother had neither the cour age to oppose this stealthy romance nor the courage to inform her hus band of it. The two lovers made an unwilling accomplice of her. and she was assured that they would marrv, the moment Elwood could afford to add her pretty lips to the mouths he was already feeding. The factory had promoted him twice in its heyday of high price and the time had seemed near when they could afford to announce their ap proaching marriage. And now the chance wa gone.

NEARLY everybody has seen a can of paint that has stood too long exposed to air and light. A . thick coating appears on top of the paint and it becomes useless for painting. In 1865 a man named Frederick Walton stood looking at the thick film that had formed on a can of exposed paint. He saw what many 'others had seen, but he did a little thinking as he looked. What Walton Discovered He pried off this film and ex amined it. He found it was tough, elastic, and smooth. It had an even color. Further experiment proved that it would withstand wear. It was durable. Mr. Walton knew what this film was. It was linseed oil that had oxidized and turned from a liquid to a semi-solid, elastic material. He took some of this oxidized lin seed oil that had been exposed to the air and mixed it with cork "flour," or powdered cork. Then he took, a strip of strong tough burlap and pressed the composi tion into the mesh of the burlap. He Named It Linoleum Here was made for the first time a new substance which was named i,inoVjji after linseeJ oiL Mr. Walton has lived to see hi invention become famous through its value as a floor. Great milt in F.urope, the British Islca, and Anietka annually product millions of yards of linoleum for the floors of homes, offices, business places, public and semi-public buildings. Linoleum is a strong, sturdy ma terial that can be printed with col ors and designs, or the color may be put in during the manufacture, in which tase the colors run all the way through to the "burlap back. This, as your wife knows, is called, "inlaid linoleum." Linoleum makes such a good floor that scores of shiploads of cork and thousands of barrels of linseed oil are used every year in its manufacture. It makes a good floor because it is firm, resilient, quiet, smooth, and permanent. No other floor is so easy to clean. There are so many different colors and de signs in linoleum that women who have good taste in interior decora tion make linoleum floors a part of the color harmony of their rooms. How to Identify Linoleum When you buy linoleum, remem ber what linoleum is. It has a bur lap back that you can see. It does not tear easily. Some floor cover ings are mistaken for linoleum that re not linoleum at all. They con tain no cork and are not pressed on burlap. To be sure you are ft tting genuine linoleum, look for the Cir cle "A" trade-matk on the burUp back. This identifies the genuine Armstrong's IJnolcim, a high quaU tty product made in colon and de tigns suitable for any romn in any Wuse. AaJMTftOHQ Coat Cpmsmmt, I tHtHICM DlTIrO?
