Ginger immediately made plans lor n huge festival conflagration on the following Saturday night, in re- turn for which she would get it i great many hours of enthusiastic I guest labor. 1J tftresses, bedding, cm-tains and rugs also were slated for the flames. The English oak pieces were quite as good as new, \better crowed Ginger, \because the older the antiquer.\ She immediately appointed a do- nation committee, headed by Patty Seas, whose gentleness was an in- j slant recommendation to parents, j to make the rounds of the town soliciting contributions for the Junior Country Club—donations of furniture, linens, bedding and .as an after- thought, food. CHAPTER VI \Number one. No preachers,\ Ginger began firmly. \It is customary to name the child first,\ said Eddy Jackson. But upon this point the discus- sion became so involved that they were obliged to temporize. \The name of this club shall be —dash-dash.\ read Ginger as she wrote. \The purpose comes next,\ said Eddy Jackson. 'To have Patty. a Rood time.\ said Tlie grounds were badly grown lip in brush and weeds, but she counted on the high-school boys to 'To paint the nights of Iowa a deep rose-red,\ said Wesley. \To get rid of parents and preach ers,\ said Ginger. At that point they decided not to* bother with the formal organiza- tion just yet — there would be plenty of time for that later on. They made out a list of Zi of their best friends to be honored with im- mediate invitations to join the club —whatever it was eventually call- ed, and whenever organized. \In the meantime, I'll be presi-1 dent and do the best I can,\ said Ginger cheerfully. \Now let's draw up the rules.\ a Jersey cow of venerable age and record on the sole c6ndition that somebody call at Pay Dirt for it, and that he be not held responsible for its funeral expenses in case of sudden death en route or later on. Ginger, who was not to be daunt- ed by any conditions, pressed Patty into service and they two went out for it in Ginger's smart little Dido. And while Ginger drove back to Mill Rush at a snail's pace Patty led the bewildered animal which trembled with emotion at the out- bursts of laughter and applause evoked by her unconventional tour. Ginger ate, near beer and other bottled drinks were bought in large quantities and at the cheapest pos- sible price for resale to customers i Screen Life in Hollywood HOLLYWOOD—Of course movie players seldom play real life roles, but it seems an odd coincidence that three of the lonesome ones in \Lonely Wives\ are among Holly- wood's most contented wives.

Ginger',<; father was a minister, and her stepmother a very wealthy woman, but life iu the little town of Red Thrush, Iowa, ran too slow- ly to suit Ginger and her set. So she announced to her friends, Ed- dy Jackson. Patty Sears and Wes- ley. Meeker, that she was going to start a Home for the Bored. To Jenky Brroks, wife of old Benny Brooks, an ally whom she could trust implicitly, she confided her intention of arganizing a Jun- ior Country Club. She asked Jen- ky to act as her agent in the pur- chase of the Mill Rush farm a 10- acre tract with an old farm house, from Joplin Westbury. The rest of her plans were still in her head, unformulated. \And she told Jenky, \be sure to bring him down in his price. About half of what he asks will be right.\ To Jenky, who, with her hus- band, was to be chaperon, the venture promised to great many dollars-saved, as-a summer on the lann would mean a trimming of living expenses. The house on Mill Rush held interesting possibilities for an imagination as fertile as Ginger's. On the other hand, it was doing its present owner no good, and he was anxious to sell. Westbury finally got down to $2000, whereupon J:-n!:y Sdid she would have to ask Ginger's advice. Within 2 hours the farm had been bought for $1500, and the organization of the Junior Coun- try Club was under way. NOW.C5O ON WITH THE STORY I rooms they had been, was to be re- CHAPTER V I moved, making an ample ballroom. The Junior Country Club was (with the old \parlor\ converted into payment in full. The mile and half of wood lane leading in from the state road was almost impass- able for motor travel, and Dab promised to have ai couple of men pet to work on it the very next day. By eight o'clock on Saturday morning the road to Mill Rush something to do. But. conserva- tive parents who comfortable be- lieved that an entire summer of hard work would go into the neces- sary renovation of the property were due for a great surprise. They had not figured a Monday, the day after Easter, that inspiration visit- ed her upon the parsonage lawn. By Tuesday night she was the owner —to the extent of $250 down -of the Mill Rush estate. At ten o'clock on Wednesday morning she was on the premises for a thorough iqsjteetion of her property. Bab Barnes, the carpenter, was making estimates on the cost of materials and labor for necessary repairs and Ginger Ella herself you may be sure, with notebook and pencil of a cozy lounge. Over the bedroom on the second floor Ginger pondered a long time. The idea of small private dining and sitting rooms was very tempt- ing, for there was something par-! ticularly, devilishly engaging in the' mere sound of the words—a notion | imbibed from novels and motion pictures, as she lacked all personal experience with them. But in the end her practical nature triumphed livery wagons, trucks, bicycles ,two ponies and a saddleless old fire horse—a 11 crowded to running- board or handle-bars --with boys and ; girls from midlle high-school age up to the early twenties. Each was armed with, tools for labor—brooms and hammers, hoes and rakes—and ready to take orders. And waiting for them at Mill Rush was Ginger Ella, burning up with orders to give. and she decided to retain them as Walter Main , the sonoo mouse and no parents were to be admit- ted. Young people of the upper years of high school and private preparatory schools could attend club meetings, by invitation only, and could not participate as active members until they were either graduated or had left school. One large formal function would be given for parents and other mar- ried persons each year. Jenky was to be thp iormal resident manager, chaperon rind house mother. Benny Brooks was the bouncer. \That's great,\ said Eddy Jack- son. \A blind bouncer.\ \That said Ginger wickedly, \is the only kind ot bouncer we'd have.\ *:• -s ti After thai, every afternoon at 4:30 and again at 5 o'clock, Iry Tollivers in the frugal old parson- age days. By a strict mathematical process she figured out that these cookies If made up in large quantities on the gas stove at Doorndee — with Gooby cutting the raisins—cost ex- actly one and one-half cents each. The cookies were large and filling and could be sold for five cents as fast as she could turn them out. So whenever Ginger had a few hours' respite from, the stirring ac- tivities at Mill Rush, she could usually be found flapping about in I rubber-soled sneckers, type of parts she was given. She only came back because the charac- ter she is playing now is similar to those that first brought her fame. In private life. Miss Ralston is Mrs. George Webb. Her husband is also her manger .and she credits him with much of her success. They have been married five years. Miss Miller is married to Tay usually she is Mrs. Garnett, playing In. pictures only occasionally. I believe I have discovered one reason for so few extras getting the much talked about breaks they the much talked about breaks they are supposed to be ever hoping for. After spending several hours on a set talking to some of them, I concluded that they had no interest other than the ticket that would entitle the mto their $7.50 at the end of the day. Few of them knew what the story was about nor who was in the cast besides those ap- stookings, in the kitchen at Doorn- dee, enveloped in a big white apron her bright bobbed hair entirely con cealed beneath a big red handker- chief.

Cellars and pantries of every home withon miles were scoured for donations of food, vegetables, 'Scanned fruits and bottled drinks. All of these demands and countless others, met with a cheerful re- sponse. Many had children already of proper age for membership and wished to carry immediate favor. Those with ineligible \infants\ were looking to the future, and as Ginger said, \nobody is quite with- out hope,\ which principle doubt- less explained why the Donation Committee met with no refusals. The formal organization of tho club was extremely informal.

Alford Between those scientists who be- lieve that a poor mind means a bad brain and those others who contend that it means nothing of the sort, has recently come another compro- mise. The new theory is to be the effect that very bad and long continued habits of thought may finally effect the structure of the brain. They may therefore produce chronic disorders. This theory aims to explain the neurotic disorders which are most severe and chonic. The chief evidence in favor of this theory was the chronic and se- vere nature of some cases of shell ; shock observed in English soldiers, i • The conditions were clearly : : caused by emotional strain but they • • and felt guilty about taking a week- ly check. \Veil don't vorry about vorg,\ he was told. \Ve vant you here on ac- count of your namo.
