western productions. is said to be one
of the most remarkable pictures in
which that sterling portrayer of wom-
ern roles has yet been seen imagine
Mr. Hart as a confirmed egotist.
whose motto is “myself first and to
the devil with all others.” That is
"Selfish" Yates. the supreme mastei
of the sordid clique in Thirsty Cen~

ter over which he presides.

But it is the woman. the simpl-l.
sweet. innocent little woman, who. by
the magic force of her compelling
eye and soil yet rigorous example.
redeems him from his shocking men-
tal condition and brings him to a real-
izalion that the love for a noble wo-

lman has a subtle power to the force

of which egotism and selfishness

must succumb.

As "Selfish" Yates, Mr. Hart of-
‘lords his admirers another of those
strong, robust western characterisu‘
ltions. for which ‘fie is famous. When

ithe selfish devil in his breast finally

lis evicted, Yates fights fiercely to
win to retain the respect and love of
'the girl he has learned to YeverMe

i England's experience showed clearly
'the need for training workers where
a large army is raised Thus far not
nearly so large a percentage has been

Etaken for the army as in England. but '

‘inveatlgstlons already undertaken have
shown the need of prompt preparation.

The service is similar to that es—
tablished in Great Britain. where if
was found unnecessary to enact any
laws enforcing training policies.
lManufacturers were eager to obtain
the best information on training meth-
ods. and. except for rare instances of
government aid, financed the entire
program themselves.

he called attention to a tendency
Americans will do well to avoid.

Three or four cases where time has
been wasted have come to notice re-
cently in the United States. One large
airplane factory put a manual-training
teacher in charge of its training room.
This man persisted in teaching work-
ers to make nail boxes and school
exhibits and caused them to practice
with certain tools that would never be
used in actual airplane production.
“Never mind speed." he is reported on
saying. “The government has the
money and what it wants is accuracy."
