TEN COMMANDMENTS
FOR THE MOTORIST
First: Drive to the right side of
the road; it’s just as good as the left
Second* Slow down when approach-
ing a cross road; it is nearly as dan-
gerous us a railroad crossing.
Third: Look out for children. You
never can ledi what they will do, and
y >u are a'.ways ir. the wrong if you
hit one.
Fourth: Try to help instead of
hinder the traffic officer; he is there
for your good and he’s got a tough
job
Fifth: Be sure your “dimmers” are
really dim; it’s no joke driving into a
Minding glare, as you probably know.
Sixth: Read and obey the warning
signs; they are not put as ornaments.
Seventh: If you feel you’ve got to
speed—do it where you won’t kill
anybody but yourself.
Eighth: When making minor re-
pairs, stop where your car can bs
seen from both directions; otherwise
you may stop longer than you anti-
cipated.
Ninth: Speeding around corners is
a straight route to the hospital.
Don’t race past a stopped car. Some
day the jury may call it manslaught-
er.
Tenth: Use discretion. The fact
that you had the right of way won’t
bring anybody back to life, least of all
yourself.—The Nation’s Highway.
ANY ONE OF WHOM
“You know Pester—the chap who
was always telling the bright things
j his son did ? Well, he was found
shot dead today—no clues.”
| “Good Lord! I thought he didn’t
have an enemy in the world!”
“Mail be not—but he had lots of
friends.”—American Legion Weekly.

DIX SHOULD BE LUCKIEST
MAN IN THE WORLD
If the old wishbone tradition still
holds weight Richard Dix, Para-
mount’s newest luminary, should be
the luckiest man in the world.
Dix, during the filming of “A
Man Must Live,” his second Famous
Forty-Paramount starring vehicle,
broke no less than twelve of the
magic little chicken obnes. Edna
Murphy, playing in support of the
star, f, hared Dix’s luck in these
scenes.
Dix and Miss Murphy in the pic-
ture meet at a military ball game
given by Dick’s regiment in a New
York hotel. It’s a case of love at
first sight for both. During the
filming of the scene, Dix discovered
a wishbone in his cold chicken.
Is Dix lucky? Well, he marries
Miss Murphy in the production, come3
into a young fortune through an old
steel claim and—but that’s just about
enough luck for anyone, in one pic-
ture, anyway.
Jacqueline Logan again appears in
a strong supporting role opposite the
star in “A Man Must Live,” coming
to the Martin Theatre tonight and to-
moijrow night. The picture is an
adaptation of I. A. R. Wylie’s “Jung-
le Law.”

Deacon White had been pacing the
station platform for twenty minutes.
Rather hot under the collar, he went
back to the ticket window.
“I thought you said the noon local
was on time today,” he roared at the
station master’s youthful assistant.
“Wal, she were,” replied the lat-
ter. “Went throuhg here right on the
dot, ’bout three minutes afore you
come in an’ ast me.”—American Le-
gion Weekly.
THE SAME RESULT
“Going to Paris this year?”
“No, I’m going to stay home, drink
my own brew and look at the pict-
ures in the hosiery advertisements.”
—American Legion Weekly.
