The color selected for walls and ceil- ings has a decided effect upon the lighting of rooms and upon our light ills. F.ven where the darker shades are used for artistic or other seasons, information as to the exact value of tach color to reflect light is useful. The illumination required in a room depends largely upon the amount of light absorbed by the walls and other â- surfaces. Dark surfaces absorb light, while light surfaces reflect a good pro- portion of the light back into a room. If the source of light is not changed, the efTectivc illumination will vary with the reflection fai'tors of the sur- faces in the room. If, on the other usual birthday party, because it is the guests who get the presents. Little readers who have wonderful grannies will know how that happens. The Five Funny Fables are really well-known fables cleverly re told sc us to encourage little folks in the art of story telling; and to teucli thoni to interpret by gestures the action of fu- Miiiiar stories. Mr. Kirkman has written the^e books with a distinct jiurpose, to give to the youngest reader the best literature pos- sible, carefully prepared to suit the ago and intellectual development of the chilli. The author first appealed to <|ualiti(d teachers for suggestions and eiicouragcnieiit and then tested liis fin- ished work by submitting it to the severe criticism of about a liumlred children. lie did not ask the children what they thought of the stories; he watched tlieni as they listenedâ€" anil that, of course, is the supreme test.

O. THE HINDU 8EEVANT. In the Hindu family a female ser- vant is known as the jhi, or daughter in Bengalâ€" she is like the daughter of the house; she calls the master and the mistress, father and mother, and the voung men and women of the family, brothers and sisters. She participates in the life of the family; she goes to the holy places along with her mis- tress, for she could not afford to go alone, and generally she spends her life with the family of her adoption; her children are looked after by the fam- ily. The treatment of men servants is very similar. These servants, men and women, are generally people of the humbler castes, but a sens.! of personal attachment grows up between them and the members of the family, and as they get on in years they are affec- tionately addressed by the younger members as elder brothers, uncles, aunts, etc. It may seem curious to some how, in Hindu life, such a cor- dial working relationship exists be- tween the humbler and the higher classes. Though often separated by caste they address each other affec- tionately as relatives.

CANAD/ East and West When tlie T'nited States ceased to bc a Hritiah possession, the citizens of that land lost the rights they had en- joyed of fishing in the territorial wat- i-r.s -that is, within three miles â€" of the Ilritish jiossessions. .\n agreement was reached between the two lands in IHI8 by which Great Hritaiu allowed the United States' fishermen to fish around the Magdalene Islands, and along cer- tain iiarts of the const of Newfound- lanil and Labrador. Tlie.v had, too, the right tn land at certain places and cure and dry their catch. For some years the I'hief complaint of the Americans was that thev were not allowed to land ami buy bait a serious condition when it is recalled that the cod fisheries were mostly without the three-mile limit, al- though the mackerel were nearer shore.

Dip the ink sjiot in pure melted tal- low, says a correspondent, then wash out the tallow ami the ink will come ; v,-.,,, Orally the Maritime fishermen were anxious that nothing should be done that would assist the trade of their Amer- ican rivals. Friction continued to grow over the question until in lH;i7 the British Gov- eminent voted about $2,500 to arm small vessels to |tri!veiit any breach of the Convention of 1S1«. This act and its strict enforement created much ill-feel- ing across the line. Hut in 1851, by the Keciprocity Act, an end was put to the trouble by an agreement which allowed the Americans the right to take fish on any shore -oxce]>t shell fish â€" of the British Atlantic possessions without any restrictions as to the throe mile limit. They were also at liberty to land to dry their nets and cure their catches as long as they did not trespass upon private jiroperty, but they must not lish in any of the rivers. But the act passed out in IStiti, and then there were more long discussiona of the old issue before any satisfactory settlement was effected. out with it.

I do not like to tell him this because I know it would cause him a little bad feelings towards me, since I have accepted tlie ring. \ow, I know that he really and truly loves me and would do anything to make me happy, but I cannot make myself appreciate this. Could you tell ine wlicther I should break this ofl" at once or should I let it continue.

Dear .\ntoinette: I am afraid you were just a little too hastv in rushing into .vour engage- ment. You are several .vears too young to begin with. But since you are en- gaged and to such a fine .voung man, I would suggest that .vou let things stand as tlie.v are for a little while. You have many tastes in common, evi- dently, or things would not have reach- ed an I'ligagemenf stage. Instead of thinking how much you do not love him, try to think how worthy he is of being loved and do your level best to make your engagement to him an in- spiration. If your word means so much to him, vou should consider yourself responsible for helping him make a suc- cess of life. HOSALIND. Hear Hosalind: Once again I am coming to you for advice I wrote to you before and I am sure words cannot express my ap- preciation re your kind advice.

"And I wish they may get him," thought Billy, and added an "l don't think," which came from his very heart. For all that, he went about that (fay, and for some days that followeil, in the mood of a man who isn't over anxious to look at a policeman. Reinstructed in the law, he was not quite sure that something dreadful might not happen to him for what he had done. There were visions of men who came with chains, an<l Juilges in red robes, and a parson who carried u black cap in his pocket. Bill.v had to take very long whiskies arid sodas to lay tho ghosts, and when he had tried this medicine in the evening of the fifth day, what was his embarrassment to see the convict himself walk boldly into his hut, and hold out his hand with the air of one who has no words to tell his story. "Halloa," cried Billy, but his voice had a note of color <|iiite foreign to it "so it's .vou, old chap." The convict sat do%vn upon the edge of Billy's bed, and wiped his forehead with a fine cambric handkerchief. He wore good clothes and boots, and had been shaved. His manner was that of a man who fears nothing, and is not ashamed of what he has done. "I'm Sidney I'arthon," he said, "ex- pect .vou guessed it. Well, I 've seen her, and here I am." His eyes shone at the thought â€" his mind was away to another and mor.- wonderful scene. He had seen the wo- man he loved, and he had learned that she loved him still. Billy was not so dense that he did not understand that. "Say," he remarked, "she's a good sort, that girl â€" what are you going to do about it â€" " " I am going hack to prison," Par- thon rejoined â€" "on my way now. Yon did me a splendid turn, and I don't want to get vou into any trouble. I shall give niv-self up, and that will, be the end of it. Now that I have seen her. it will be easier_ Man, she was wonderful. I found her in the old rock gardens at twilight. She did not speak â€" she just belli out her arms to me, and there it was. She never doubted my innocence, why should she? I can go back now to the place that will be a hell no longer. Don't you understand what you have done for me?" Perhaps Bill.v hardl.v did. His own flirtations were of the slap and tickle order. A pretty girl was something to bc kissed on sight â€" if she were willing, and he was no bigot in his love affalrg. So this prett.y remanco left him un- affected. Much more important was it to keep Parthon out of jail for good." ".See here," lie said, "what's the use of a fine chap like you In prison ? Why not fight, old boy. Go and kill Huns. They won 't talk about prison when you come hack. Help us to do the d-^d old Kaiser in, and she'll be proud of you. Gawd's truth, she will. Don't you sec it might mean much to youâ€" ' ' Parthon shook his head sadly. "They are on my heels now," he pleaded, "T missed them by incnes at Salisbury. The whole plain will be alive with them in an hour's time. I mustn't be found with you, on any account. You mustn't trouDle your head about me â€" " Billv laughed "I don't care the top of a petrol can about them," says he "Look here, you stop jawing copybook, and come back to common sense. To begin with, your clothes are no good. I've got :i suit of yellow canvas in the bag there that is much more in your line. Get into 'em and ask no questions. To night T (Iv to France, and who knows who might go with me. Quick about it, old man. and get your hands greasy. There 's work to be done up at the shed, and you're the expert from Lon- don that's helping me to do it. Don't you see it's the chance of your life--" Sidney Parthon obeyeil him as a man in a dream. Dim perceptions had coin- to him. He coiild rewin his honor in France. Lucv would be jiistiliod in her faith. Better dead than such as he was Tf onlv it could be. "No, no," he said, "the police will be already in the camp. I shall get vou into trouble. I mustn't do it â€" " â-  Billy answered by literally pushing him iiito the oilskins, and then giving him an immense whisky and soda. (Continued next week.) MOTION PICTURES J WHOLE VILLAGE IS DESTROYED Wonderful I<:arthquake Scenes in TJie llope,;.\ow Being - , Made by Metro. ^ The destruction of an Italian village street furnished the final scenes for "The Hope," which wiU be the first of the five great Drury Lane melo dramas to bc released by Metro. This production, which is now being cut and titled, was eleven weeks filming at the Metro studios in Hollywood. It was originally intended that "The Best of Luck," which started first, should bo the first of the five Drury Lane plays to be released. Due to the difficulty in filming thrilling under- water scenes that make up the final episode, the other melodrama was fin- ished ahead of "The Best of Luck." "The Hope" is an all-star produc- tion with Jack Mulhall, Ruth Stone- house, Marguerite de la Motte and Frank Klliott heading the cast. Her- bert Blache directed the story, which was adapted for the screen by A. S. Le Vino and photographed by Harold Wenstrom. The earthquake staged at the <).5- acre Metro Park, in the San Fernando Valley, was only one of the big scenes staged for "The Hope." A polo game, a Derby race, and a battle in Khyber Pass are other events that make this Drury Lane production a thriller. The play was written by Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton and produced on the stage in London by .-Arthur Collins. Many large and elaborate settings were constructed especially for the pic- ture, among them the ballroom of an Just How Constance "Broke In" BY HERSELF. How did I get into tlie movies .' Well, although I hate to admit it, I really did noting more or less than follow â- Norma in, and that's the truthâ€" but it is also the truth that I stopped fol- lowing her as soon as I was in and had a chance to look about a bit for myself. When I was fourteen years old .Vor- ma had a job with Vitagraph, and I used to go to the studio with her and hang around until the directors were so used to seeing me that they rcallv thought I belonged there. Then one day r just walked right in front of the camera, and no one thought to put me out. And once really in I wouldn't go, so here I am! When Norma went to the coast I went too, for mother didn't like to let her'go alone, or to leave Natalie and me here. It was like the old puzzle of the man crossing the pond and tak- ing over one at a time, the fox, the goose and the bag of grain. Which two could he leave behind? So wo all went along, and I did a little work here and there, but nothing very much until D. W. Griffith started to make "Intolerance." He wanted someone for the part of the mountain girl, and at last he chose me, telling me "that I was to be sort of a lioness-girl and not afraid of anything." I had to drive a chariot, and while I wasn't P . T 1- 1 T ,- afraid to do it, I had to learn how. tast Indmn palace, an India street | Norma can tell you that every night after I came home from practising to (built at the Metro studios), the Brit ish army barracks, where scenes were taken showing the return of victorious troops after a battle with Afghanistan natives in Khyber Pass, and the Italian street, built at the Metro Park SPEAKING OF TYPES: EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY Whimsical Public Demands Vi- vacious Mad-Cap Heroines and Homely Heroes. drive that chariot I was bruised from head to toe. After this success I began to dream of something besides being just Nor- ma 's little sister. I wanted a regular job with a name all for myself. Then I met Lewis J. Seiznick and he decided to try and make a star of me â€" though he didn 't promise that he really could do it â€" for usually when two sisters play on the stage or the screen there is just : one who becomes known. For the other I there is plain obscurity behind the title [of "so-and-so's little sister." Mr. Seiznick and I, however, decided to make the Talniadge sisters the excep- tion to the rule, and when he did his share of starring me it was up to me to make good. Before starring I was leading woman for Douglas Fairbanks. Starring isn't half the strain that playing with Douglas was.

When "The White Dove," "The Butterfly Man," and "The Fortune Teller," arc announced it should be renieinbered that they have jiassed the Robertson Cole test. In n little town in Scotland the grave- digger had been induced to give up his habit of hard drinking. .\t a public meeting he related his experience. "I can honestly tell ye," he said, "that for a whole month I liavna ' touched a drnp of onything. I saved enough to bu.v me a braw oak coffin, wi' brass handles and brass nails â€" -an' if I'm a teetotaler for another month 1 shall be wnntin' it." The present rates of exchange, along with foolish speculation, have caused seriou.s loss to lilm manufacturers in C'crmany. The per centage system is being hotly contested in France. The Catherine Curtis Corporation has increased its cnpital to $5,000,000. lie to whom the producers of things theatrical cater. What are the spring styles in motion picture heroines? Well for one thing, the old-fashioned vampire is a drug on the market. Hero- ines may have a past but it must not be too hectic. "Mamise" in Rupert Hughes photodrama of "The Cup of Fury" was a vaudeville artiste before she was introduced to London society. But she returns to overalls before slie wins the recognition every herotne covets in the last reel. In general heroines this season should bc vivacious or madcap ingenues when they are not as tragic as Paulino Frederick or as emotional as Geraldino Farrar. But there is also a particular inclination toward willowly blondes and statuesc|iie society beauties. When you see Naomi Childers in Basil King's picture. "The Street Called Straight." you will cease to wonder why. The picture is a triumph of the photogra- phic art. Fad: The Homely Hero. Homely heroes are beginning to be the vogue. Probably the popularity of Will Rogers in Goldwvn pictures has something to do with 'it. Heroes must have a sense of humor, the story writers say. Then there must be one Ml "Dangerous Days," by Mary Ro- berts Rinchnrt. She always gives her heroes this saving grace. " And surelv Tom Moore, the smiling virtuoso of the screen, qualifies under tho head of hu- morous charmf Speaking of humor, there seems to be an enormous demand for good com- edy on tho screen. Not tho slapstick sort altogether, either. Rex Beach has prepared a lively comedy called "Going Some" of the screen. Rupert Hughes has written an original goenario of great oomlo possibilities entitled "Scratch My Back." It will be his second Qoldwyn releAse for Eminsnt Authors. Popular interest soems to point to special interest also in old men char- acters. Watch the screen for them and yon will find them as important as in many Broadway plays this year. "Joe" in Leroy Scott's "Partners of the Night" is a specimen worth ob- •erving, and Aleck Francis plays a dis- tinguished old man in two recent Qold- wyn pictures, "Tho Paliscr Case" and "Tho Street Called Straight." Buffon calculated that, if a pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply, undisturbed for a period of twenty years, they would yield an amount of fish equal in bulk to the I globe on which we live. and telling him that dead men make no films, I decided to take the risk myself, and have done ([uite a few stunts before the camera. First of all, I don't want to be a pretty-pretty actress. I am willing to be as ugly or as funny looking as the part demands, for the public knows how I look anyhow, and after an ugly part they may think me prettier than I really am, through pure contrast! But my friends have often expostulated at some of m.v faces and tell me that I will get wrinkles and all sort of thing. That doesn't bother me yet, though t suppose in a few years I will have to beware. My debut as a star came when Select Pictures presented mc in Cojmo Hamilton's "ScandaL" Canada is Second in the Manufacture of Automobiles Canada is now the second nation in the world in the manufacture of auto- mobiles, the number of cars owned, and tho number per capita. The United States is first and Great Britain third. Figures taken from a government re- port show that the automotive industry in Canada employs 15,000 workers and represents an investment of $50,000 - 000. The total sales of cars last vear amounted to $100,000,000 and the pay- roll exceeded $15,000,000. During 1919, 94,000 automobiles were manufactured in Canada and it is believed this total will be increased 35 per cent, in 1920. Latest registration records show that about 350.000 motor vehicles are in operation throughout the Dominion. One in every 23 persons in Canada owns a motor car. There are 6.000,000 automobiles in the United States or one to every 20 inhabitants. In Engl.ind there are only 180,000 cars or one to every 268 persons. There is one au- tomobile to every 402 people in France, to 684 people in Germany, to l.OOO in Italy, to 2,700 people in Austria, to 5,300 in Russia. Begistration of cars in Canada ii- creased 13 per cent, over that of 1»18. Ontario continues to be the banner province for automobiles with 127,880 passenger cars and 11,428 motor trucks in use, with Saskatchewan, Alberts, Manitoba and Quebec, following in or- der. The rural population owna mors than half the cars in tho Dominion and in the prairie provnce* the per- centage is higher. Canada is no longer an sssembling center for automobile parts made in the United States. The msde-in-Csn- ada is now a reality. OH SWetC!'
