“'here are the stars .of yester-
year? So asks the movie fan—the
habitual_ persistent, faithful follow-
er of the “flicker drama." He sits
perhaps in the darkened chamber of
the silver screen and sees new faces
come into view and thinks maybe
with a wrench of regret. of those
whohave passed. of the stars that
have faded. And doubtless he won-
ders whether, after all, it is wOrth
while getting: dovotedly attached to
picture personalities when they pass
so soon.
For the film stars do pass more
quickly than stage favorites. A
muchshorter span of years is allott-

the front. rank. Barring accidents.
misadventures with the law and un-
fortunate encounters with public
sentiment few. if any, last more than
seven or eight years. A ten-Year
star is really a wonder. Five years
is perhaps nearer the average of
public favor. Of course, there are
the elders of the screen who play
special roles. the old man old _wo-
man parts, and they are almost
perennial. But the youthful roles.
the "juveniles," the lover parts and
the heroines, call for new material
constantly. _
The film career of a. star is shorter
than the stage carreer for several
reasons. In the first place. the pass-
nig of time can be concealed be hind
the foot-lights to a great degree
by means of make-up. And even
when cosmetics cannot set back the
calendar. as it were, there remain
the personal qualities that endear
the actor or the actress to the pu-
blic—the voice. the skill the tech-
nique. the magnetic element that is
the secret of histrlonic success. The
star may grow stout and gray. and
even wrinkled. possibly on the other
hand may be thin and bent, and
yet hold position through sheer gen-
ius. Sarah Bernhardt hit! that pew—

all the great men and ‘women of the

"BCNNING THE GOVERNMENT
IS STILL THE DIAN’S JOB,"
SAYS MRS. ROOSEVELT.
Women in politics still have a
long'way'to go before they will be-
long to the game as completely as
do men. That. is the opinion of Mrs.
Franklin D. ,Roosevclt. Chairman
of the National Platform Committee
on Social Legislation and other mat-
ters pertaining to women and yel-
fare. -
"American women," said Mr}.
Roosevelt recently. "are backawrd
about taking a. serious and active
part ,in politics. They have the vote.
they have the power. but they don’t
seem to know what to do with it.
Practically the Job of running gov-
ernment. municipal. state or na-
tional. is still a man's Job. There
are exceptions. of course. but the
,very fact that these exceptions stand
out so clearly proves how inactive
are omen as a. whole. They need
continual prodding continual organ-
isation. continual education. Even
then, the majority wonder what it's
all about. .

“Primarily it is a. national weak-
ness fostered by the men. There
is no woman in the world. ‘runa

looked up to than the American
woman. The French woman an-

BldCl‘l some object. the latter is con-

and with the universal laws of
thought in general without distinc-
tion or its subjects. Formal philoso-
phy, howm or. which has to do with
determinate objects and the laws to
which they are subject. is again
twocfold; for these laws are either
laws of nature or of freedom. The
science ofthe former is Physics and
the latter natural philosophy and
moral philosophy respectively.
"Logic cannot have any empiri—
cal part: that is. a part in which
the. uni\ crsul and necessary laws of
thought rest, on grounds taken irom
experience; otherwise it would not
be logic. 1. c. a canon for the under-

‘Natural and moral philosophy. on
the contrary. can have their empir-

ject of experience; the latte r the
laws of the human will. so far as
it is affected by nature; the former
however.. being laws according to

the latter is merely format it is log-
ic; it it is restricted to definite ob-
jects of the understanding it is me-

In this way there arises Kant's
idea of a two-fold metophyslc-a
metaphysic of nature and a meta-
physic of morals. It is the latter he
investigates in the treatise from. the
preface of which the opening para-
graphs above are quoted.

Do Not Know How to Use Power
"Compared with the business of
interesting women in politics. the.
getting of the vote was child's
play. The vote was one thing to—
ward which women could concen—
trate their attention. The woman
in the West was' organized for
that one thing: so was the woman
in the North. in the East. in the
South. It was as if a mighty
chorus had been trained to raise
their voices in one song. It was
a new thing to them. this train-
ing. They liked the adventure of
it. the feel of organization. of
union, of. strength. They got the
vote, and then 'they found they
didn't know what to do with it.
“Those who worked with ”all
their hearts anhminds for women
sum-age thought the work would he
done, once they had achieved their
sin. The ,work is only just be-
gun. The vote gives women the
power to act On 'man' things
hitherto relegated to the lm of
masculine emce. and they do not
know ‘l'iMll to use that power. ‘ It
