Probably the most marvnott* motion
picture in the world will be shown at
Cvour the Normal auditorium next Monday
\Vjth night. Hits picture i« one of the most
fntind astonishing achievements of inotlon-
photography—a pictorial account of Sir
Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedition,
showing animal, bird and deep-sea life,
raging blhzards. mountainous seas and
the towering ice barrier of the frozen
continent.-'
i The picture was pi.O’ographed 10,000
miles from America and 2000 miles from
the nearest habitation m a land never
before 8ben by the eve of man. The
birds and animals photographed in their
perfectly natural action i ' _
in any zoo in the world, and these mo-
tion pictures were secured because df
the remarkable tanVmess of all forms
of life seAi during tln» expedition's long
stay of Rventy-seven months in that
desolate region.. Sir Douglas accounts
for this lack of fear by the fact that
man was an unknown specie* and not
recognized as an enemy.
The nenenin is the most perfect com-
edian in the world, and a million of
these were found in one rookery and
photographed. A picture was secure!
of a roaring blizzard in the windiest
spot on earth—Adelle Land in Antarcti-
ca—where the wind attained a velocity
of 116 miles an hour, a twenty-four aver-
sfae of ninety miles per hour, and for a
whole year of fifty miles per hour.
The expedition was the largest in tha
history of exploration. It w
ed of sixty-six scientists ami
covered a period of
months and cost 8300,000.
Six thousand feet of films are shown
on the screen, which are but the choic-
est parts of 20,000 feet made during the
entire time. 8i^ <mj'

any cause.
Just as^the church member who is as
mean and grasping and generally un-
christian on weekdays as he is pious-
on Sundays, does the church more harm
than many disbelievers, so an over-
statement within the ranks of moral
training does the cause more harm than
many statements of the other side.
The particular overstatement against
which I am getting my guns trained is
this:
“A lie or a piece of sharp dealing
never helped a man get on in business."
A.man who gives talks on conduct
macro that statement to a group of
young people.
To my mind that as it stands, M
overstatement. a
What Every Business Man Knows.
No business man or soman can blink,
the fact that there are, times when a
lie or a piece of unfair dealing would
help ±im get on.
Ta"e a clerk for instance. A custom-
er is looking at a garment. She is the
kind of customer who always wants a
bargain. “Is this marked down?" she
asks.
Tha clerk knows that if she says “Np”
the customer says will pass on. She
soothes her conscience by the thought
that women who are always expecting
bargains deserve to get taken in and
she says, “Oh yes.” She makes the sale
and that lie helped her tcredh it.
Things like that happen every <fey in
business. .
Then They Will Distrust All HLs State-
ments. .
Those, young people are going to find
’. And then they are going to dis-
trust other perfectly good teachings be-
cause of that overstatement.
The truth is that a lie does often help
temporarily. And sometimes a good
ling temporarily, too.
But sooner or later you are bound to
get found out. And then what?
Why, even when you do speak the
truth you won’t get credit for it. One
found out lie punctures your reputation
for truth telling with the person who
finds it out.
How the Foundation Is Built.
On the other hand every time you
make a hard sacrifice of jemporary ad-
vantage to be square you are putting
a stone into the best kind of foun?lati< n
for the best kind of success.
Incidentally you are also giving your-
self a right to respect yourself. I
j haven’t said anything about-that be-
cause I wanted to fight the devil with
fire—the desire for success. But when
you get old enough to begin to realize
that lhe material things aren't the real-
ities of life you’ll ^et a glimpse of how
tremendously much that right may
mean. ; .

Loafer heartily approves all laws that
are enacted having for their purpose
the protection of the weak against the
aggression of the strong. Laws protect-
ing women against the brutal strength
of men. Laws protecting children
against the superior physical strength
of the adult. Laws that have for their
purpose the enforcement of that pass-
age Scripture which says: “A right-
eous man regardeth his beast.” If there I
is anything that would make this Loafer I
fight the Germans and the Irish and the
Dutch all in a wad it is to see some
brute with breeches on abusing a horse
or a dog or even a mouse. It somehow
just makes him want to take that brute
up and shake him until his teeth bite j
holes in his waistband. It makes Loafer i
want to use strong language to even
hear of it. All this Lnafer firmly be-
lieves in and more. He believes there
ought to be a. law protecting telephone’
girls against the outbursts of temper
of patrons who have a grouch and take
it out on ttie operator. Now a law will I
not reach the state of affairs tha* Loafer
wants to talk about. It is not the phys- I
ieal blows that cause the discomfort !
but the little outbursts of* temper and!
mean things said over the wire that '
hurt. Too often it is that the man
who Is already out of humor forgets
that the girl at the other end of the line
is a lady and proceeds to "bawl her out"
as he would never think of doing a lady |
clerk in a store or in any other position. ■
