Bedtime Stories
On the Shore of Paddy's Pond
By Thornton W. Burgess
A beaver ivith a task will work
Until iifs done, and never ahirk.
?Paddy the Beaver.
The pond of Paddy the Beaver lies '
deop in the Green Forest. It is all his
own, for he made it. And it was on the
?here ef thi* pond that Old Mother
Nature waa to hold school tbis morn?
ing. By sun-up all had arrived but
Johnny Chuck and Striped Chipmunk.
They were sfraid to go so far from
home. To the surprise of everybody,
Prlekly Porky, he who knew all he
wanted to know, was there.
"He must have traveled all night to
get here in time, he Ls such a slow
poke," whispered Peter Rabbit to his
couain, Jumper the Har*.
Peter waan't far from the trnth. But,
however he got there, there he was
reach ing for IHy pada from an old log
which lay half in the water. And to
all appaaraaces Prickly Porky was very
well satlsfled with life. You know,
there ia nothiag like a good meal to
make things seem just as they should.
A good meal will smooth out more d if
ftcuities and do lt quieker than any?
thing else in the world.
Old Mother Nature seated herself on
on* ead of Paddy's dam and called
school to order. Just a* she did so a
brown head pepped out of the water
close by, and a pair of anxious eyes
leeked ap at her.
Old Mother Nature smiled. "lt is
all right, Paddy," said she. softly.
"Thase little folka are trying to gain a
little kaowledge of themselves and
other folka, and we are going to have
thi* roov&ing's lesson right here, bo
eaose it ia to be about you."
Paddy tho Beaver ae longer looked
anxious. There was a sparkle in his
eyes. "May I stay ?" he asked eagerly.
"If there la a ehance to learn anything
I dont waat to miss it."
Before Old Mother Nature could reply
Peter Rabbit spoke up. "But the lesson
la te be about yoa aad your family. Do
you cxaeet te learn anything about
yeurselff* be demanded, and chuckled
as tf he thought he had said something
bright.
"it seems to me that some one ,iamed
Peter tearned a great deal about his
own family when he first carne to
aehcol to me," said Qld Mother Nature,
aad Peter had the grace to hang hia
head. "Of eowrae you may stay, Paddy.
In fact, I want ye? to. That i? why wo
ar* holding school over here thifl morn?
ing. I knew you wouldn't fecl at all
comfortable if I aent for you to come
ove/ to oor usual-'spocting place, bo
*?us* it U se far ifrem water. Uaaidas,
'Do you expect to learn anything
about yourself?" ha domanded.
there are things here I want tbe others
to see for themselves. Just come up
; here on the dam where we can all get a
; good look at you."
Paddy climbed out on the dam. It
j was the first time Happy Jsek Squlrrel
! had ever seen him close to out of
? water, and Happy Jaek gave a little
1 gasp of aurpriaa. "I had no idea Paddy
j is so big!" he exclaimed.
"He ls the btggest of all rodents in
1 this eoontry and one of th* biggest ln
; all the Great World. Also, he is the
j smartest member of the whole order,"
said Old Mother Nature.
"Hc doesn't look it." said Chatterer
1 the Red Squlrrel, with a aaaey jerk ef
i his tail.
"Whleh means, I suppoae, that you
! haven't the atlghtest doubt that you are
: quite aa smart aa he and perhaps a
! little smarter," eald Old Mother Nature
, quietly, and Chatterer looked both
| guilty and a wee bit aahamed?as much
! aahamed as it la poesible for an impu
dent Red Squirrel to look. "111 admit
, that you are sciart, Chatterer, but often
i it ia in a wrong way. And, after all,
| smnrtnea* in wrongdorng isn't true
I smartnea* at all. Just twtaember that.
| Paddy is smart ln th* very best way."

choosing as his subject "Personality."
Dr. Boynton urged the graduates to '?
cultivate an unselflsh spirit in their j
coming careers, and said one of their
greatest ambitions should be to ac- !
quire a fixed personality. He said the
period of recreation and reconstruction
following the World War must be ac

selftsh spirit. No nation is so big, he
said, that it can afford to hold itself
aloof from other nations in this work

Baccalaureate Sermon
Preached to Vassar GirU
People Better off To-day Than
Ever Before in History, Says
the Rev, Robert E. Speer
Bpecial Diepateh to TJk Tribune
POUGHKEEPSEE, N. Y? June 6.?
"When wo look back on the history of
the world, we realize that we of to
day, with all our burdens and prob- j
lems, are better off than our forebears," ]
said the Rev. Robert Elliott Speer, in i
his faccalaureato at Vassar to-day. "If j
it be said that the world needs cnang- i
ing, that is not amiss and need not be j
dis. eted, for there are many thinge to
be made right. But when we consider
the days of the Refonnation, the days
when barbarous hordes poured in upon
Rome and the days of the nineteenth
century, we know tbat we are no worse
off than were men in days gone by,
and that we have far more to recom
pen?e us than they had.
"The root of our troubles to-day
lies in a laek of brotherhood. We
can trace some of it to property owner?
ship, and while I de not advoeate the
abolishment of property ownership, aa
many men in many countries are cry
ing to-day, I do say that competition
should be abolished for cooperation.
"The first property ownership, with
first accompanying trouble, came in the
jungle days, when the cave man
inherited a good stone axe from his
father and by polishlng it a little more.
made it a better stone axe and handea
it down to his son. His son could do
the work of seven men with sc^en
ordinary axes and became a man sin
gled out by his contemporaries."
Tbe Rev. Mr. Speer is a New York
autbor of note and is also secretary
of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Misgions.

Emerson Deuies Lackaye
Equity Election Charges
Actor Says Ignoring of Mailed
Votes Was Not Intended to
Defeat Independent
John Emerson, regular candidate for
the presidency ot the Actors' Equity
Association, in a statement issued last
night denied charges made regarding
the Equity election by Wilton Lackaye,
the independent candidate for pres>
dent. The votes east at the election
have not yet been eountrd.
According to the statement, Mr. Lack?
aye charged at a meeting of the asso?
ciation last Friday that the decision
of the Equity Council to count votes
east at the meeting, in preference to
any vote which the same member
might have east previously by mail,
was an attempt to defeat him.
"Such a charge," said Mr. Emerson,
"ib ridiculous. The rulings of the
council regarding the balloting were
madeon the advice of its lawyers as
I the only possible rulings under the
I constitution and were made with the
i sole desire of permitting the members
I to register their free and untrammeled
will. Mr. Lackaye seems to feasFtha.
I many who had voted for him by mail
j might change their minds and vote the
? regular ticket at the meeting. Of
{ course, this possibility existed, but
j both sides took equal chances."

On the Screen
"Remodeimg Her Husband"
Shows Gi?h Director-Star Com?
bination Is a Happy One
Lillian Gish is not in her usual place
in "Remodeling Her Husband," which
started a weeks run at the Rialto yes?
terday. Instead of showing her pretty
Belf she remains invisible and leaves
the spotlight to sister Dorothy, whose
acting captivates the filmgoer. But ab
sent though she is from the screen,
Lillian's directing hand is seen
throughout the picture. Fancy knitted
coverings for the boiled eggs at break?
fast, a heart-shaped pillow for the
young bride's boudoir. carnations in
each of hubby's alippers, which wait
for his return, are only some of the
evidences of Director Gish _ work in
this truly feminlne film.
Dorothy Gish is the star of the film,
sister Lillian the director, and Dor?
othy Elizabeth Carter the author.
After they get through there is little
left fer mere man to do except to take
some of the roles in the comedy. It ia
a happy combination, this new one of
the sisters, and, judging from the re
ception given to "Remodeling Her Hus?
band," not an exeeptional or novel
story but well told and invigorating,
there will be more heard from them.
Perhaps in the next the positions will
be reversed, with Dorothy the director
and Lillian the star.
Without a deubt Dorothy Gish is one
of the most refreshing of all the
screen eomedicnnes. Her pout, her
eyes, her feet, her geatures, all con
trive to make her performance one of
lightness and pleaaantness and abound
ing in amusement.
Dorothy cures her flirtatious hubby.
She rsunodels him by giving him the
absent treatment and going into her
fathar's business. Hubby inherita his
weaknees for the oppostte sex and
flirts, not because he has tired of his
bride but because he cannot help it.
TJnfertunataly, he ls eaught in several
eompremising sltoatiens, not always
ef his own making, and his wife packs
her belengings and goes home to
fathet and mother. After he is re
modeled sbe returns to him, not at all
eertain that hle heredltary weakness
has been eVadfcated. Jamea Rennie as
the husband glvee able support te Miss
Gish. Ra eertainly has s try ing time
of it when she rants and raves all
night becKttas) she eaught the widow
kisslng him.
Ban Tnrpin and his ere-s-eyee in "Tha
Nut Craekers" ls the other eotnedy on
the program. The Rialto Magasine this
week ie one of the loagest that haa
been shewn at the theater in years.
Mr. Riesenfeld is experlmenting, and if
publle approval is forthcomfng will
contime the feature. Ameng the things
shown thia week ls Debs, in prison
garb, receivfng the nomination of the
Socialist party. Possible candidates of
the other parties alae are flashed on
the screen. The overture is the "Prel?
ude and Love-Death" from Wagner's
"Triatan and Isolde." in which the or?
chestra is assisted by Alma Doria, so?
prano. Martin Brefer, tenor, and Edo
ardo Albano. baritona, sing the duet
from Verdl _ "La Foria del Destino."
There are other orcheatxal and organ
numbers.
Again is Hobart Bosworth _ man of
the sea, and again is the film in which
frPft**? * I0*** ?n?f because he is
probably unequalled in his portrayal
of atrong sea characters on the screen.
The picture ls Thomas H. Ince's "Be?
low the Surface," which was seen at
the Rivell yesterday, and in it Mr.
Bosworth ia a deep sea diver, a fine,
?P_ight resident of Doreas Island, Me.
Although the story ls a strong and
interesting one, it ls completely over
shadowed by the sub-surface scenes
which are shewn. Hobart Bosworth's
struggle, under fifty five fathoms of
water, to free the stranded submarine
from a muddy grave; the underwater
scenes of the wreck of the steamer;
the wreck in the fog, and the dive by
Bosworth to rescue his fast sinking
son, make the film noteworthy, if it
is so for nothing else. But it has some?
thing else, a story which, poorly
handled, might have developed into one
of those ten-twenty-thirty "drammers"
prevelent a few years back, but which
is told simply and effectively in Mr.
Ince s production.
After naval divers have failed to
reach a submarine which lies at the
bottom of the sea off Doreas Island,(
Martin Flint, played by Mr. Bosworth,
goes down and saves the vessel and
twenty-seven men who are slowly suf- i
focating. A crooked promoter reads
of the feat and sees in it the possibil-.
ity of making easy money.
With a woman accomplice he goes to
the fishing town and attempts to in
veigle the diver into a scneme for
making a fortune out of sunken treas
ure. His proposition is not an honest
one, and Martin Flint refuses. But his
son, ensnared by the woman, marries
her and then dives to aid the scheme.
As soon aa she geta the gold for the
promoter, she deserts him. He lies at
death's door, broken in body by the
efrects of the hazardous dive and in
spirit by his wife's desertion on the
day of their marrlage.
The father traps her in a cabaret in
the city and starts for home with her
on a passenger ship. On the way it
crashes into a derelict and sinks.
From the wreck comes the means for
reconeiling Martin and his son.
Supportmg Mr. Bosworth are Lloyd
Hughes, Graee Darmond, George Webb,
Gladys George, J. P. Lockney, Edith
Yorke and George Clalr.
"Worries and Wobbles," a comedy,
and the Rlvoll Pictorial complete the
film program. Tschaikowsky's "Fourth
Symphony," played by the orchestra;
"Happy Uays," a duet sung by Betty
Andersen, soprano, and Helen McGee,
contralto, and an organ solo are the
musical offerings. Alexander Ouman
sky and May Kitchen are also on the
program in a dance fantasy set to
Frits Kreisler's "Caprice Viennois."
Georges Carpentier, European heavy
weight champion, is giving abundant
proof that he ls something more than
fighter?he has a strikrng stage pres?
ence, radiatea personality in long a*
ters, and, what Is more, either he or his
theatrical trainers, perhaps both, have
fi?4.*^11*^ on his sereen performaaees
that liits him entirely out of the ama?
teur class. Georges is a really rood
actor.
At the Strand this week Georges is
featnred in "The Wonder Man.' Some
tart criticisms might be handed tho
scenario, but the story is plctured ad
mirably and the plot enables the great
French airman and gladiator tc prove
to a host of admirers in America that
he made no mistake when he went into
the movies. The five-round cource over
which he, as a French secret service
operator, travel3 with Robert BarraV is.
of course, all stajre "stuff," because
the French champion absorbs heavy
eonsignments of punishment, but he
does the eorrect imitation of one who
can "come back" under the inspiration
of his sweetheart's note of confidence
in his intentions.
The Strand this week also is givir.g
motion pictures of the leading Repub?
lican and Democratic Presidential can?
didates. Judged by the eoeiparative
volumes of applause, it would appear
that General Leonard Wood is the fa
vorite on the Republican side, with
Hiram W. Johnson a close second. A.
Mitchell Palmer received little applaute j
when his picture was flashed on the
sereen; On the face of the evidence, it
seems *at William G. McAdoo is the
favorite among Democratic candidates.
"Humoresque," the film version of
Fannie Hurst's story of the Ghetto,
started yesterday in the second week of
its rnn at the Criterion Theater. The
acting of Vera Gprdon, who plays the
part of the mother, and the work of
Frank Borsagw, the director, are re
ceiving much praise. Mme. Lubovska's
dancing, part of the music program, is
also proving an attractive feature.
At the Broadway Theater "The Re?
turn of Tarzan" also is beginning its
second week. Bert Earl and Girla eon
tinue.
The Rothapfel type of entertafnment,
introduced at the Capitol Theater last
Friday evening, is continued this week.
Rugert Hughes's "Scratch My Back,"
the Petite Ballct of Roses and other
musicai and film features are included.
Second Division's Dead
Honored at Memorial
9t* Thomas* Rector Urges Su*>]
vrvors to Lead in Winning
Objectives Still Ahead
One thousand survivors of the 2d Di?
vision of the American Expeditionary
Forces attended a memorial service in
honor of their dead comrades at St.
Thomas's Church, Fifty-third Street
and Fifth Avenue, yesterday.
Dr. Ernest M. Stires, rector of St.
Thomas's, whe conducted the service,
publicly tbsnked the men who went
overseas with the division. Inviting
the soldiers to stand, he told them that
he had been in France and was near
the front lines when the 2d Division
covered itself with glory. He added
that he hoped the memorial servi
might be made an annual ceremony.
Dr. Stires reviewed the 2d Division's
record in the fighting lines, and asked
its members to Tead in winning the ob?
jectives yet ahead of them.
"On the eve of a great political con?
vention," he said, "it is the duty of
the people to demand leagues and prin?
ciples that will aafeguard all the peo?
ple and not what will be useful merely
to some political clique. After one
and a half years there is neither peace
nor a settlement of the many diffi
culties which the war has brought,
about."
The day's offering was handed over
to officers of the 2d Division Associa?
tion for those of the command who aic
in need of flnancial assistance.

Dr. Levinthal Wins
PostgraduateDegree
At Jewish Seminary
Eight Graduated as Rabbis
and 27 Receive Diplomas
of Teachers' Institute;
Dr. Adler Makes Address
The Rev. Dr. Israel Herb?ri Levin- S
thal, rabbi of the Brooklyn Jewish
Center, received the degree of Doctor
of Jewish Literature from the Jewish
Theological Seminary of America, at
the annual commencement exercises in j
Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon The i
degree of rabbi, preacher and teacher'
was conferred upon eight graduates of
the seminary, and diplomas were given
to twenty-seven graduates of the
Teachers' Institute, nineteen of whom
are young women.
The degree given to Dr. Levinthal
comes after a short and brilliant career
as a scholar and pastor. For the Last
two years he has pursued post-graduate
work ln the seminary, having recently
presented a thesis to the faculty on
"The Jewish Law of Agency, with
Speeial Reference to the Roman and
English Conamea Law."
In 1910 he graduated from the sem-!
inary with the degree of rabbi. Ho is
a Baeheler and Master of Arts from
Columbia University, and a Juris Doc?
tor from New York University. He also
ia a nwrnber of the New York Bar.
While at Columbia he won the Curtis
Medal for Oratorical Excellence. Rabbi
Levinthal came to Brooklyn in 1910 and
has been at the head of the Brooklyn
Jewish Center since last November.
Louis Marshall, chairman of the j
i board ef dlrectors of the seminary, j
delfvered the introductory address, in '
whleh he said that there is now no ;
? deficit to face and predicted a brilliant
future for the rnstitution. Hc reported |
, a gift to the library from Mortimer j
SeSiff, of the collection of books of
| Israel Selemon ef London.
j Mr. Marshall made a plea for greater
Interest in Jewish education in thia'
I ectratry. He aeid that there are a,0O0,
000 Jews i_ the Unrted States and '
300,000 Jewish children in New j
York C*ty not 15 per cent of
whom aet Jewlsh education. "Jew?
ish. education hae been neglected >
in this country," said Mr. Marshall,!
"to aa extsnt that can only be char- |
aeterised as shameful. The Jews have
been generoos te their charitiea and
in a aseeeure genere-s to their breth
ran aereas the seas, but they have been
niggardry te their children and to these
institutions which are needful to the
preservation of Jwdaism."
Dr. Cyrus Adler addressed the newly
made rabbis and the graduates.
He said in part: "You who are en
tering upen yeur rabbinxcal careers
have twe eholces before you. You may
buiid a house or you may simpiy keep
house. But let me ask of yoii not to
consider the question solely from your
own point el view. You have made
sacrinces aplenty during four years of
stndy. You should be willing to con
tinue to make them."
To the newiy made teachers Dr. Ad?
ler said: "Do not trouble yourselves
too much about the psychological tests
of the various klnds described in the
books. These things are very good, no
doubt, in the preparation of learned
papers, but they ahould be the work of
the few and not the many. They
should be relegated to those less at?
tractive souls who have not the divine
spark which alone makes a great
teacher. Do everything that you can
to make the content of Judaism inter?
esting to the children.
"Be not eaught up by the industrial
unrest in the world, and do not align
yourselves with movements which may
produce, I am sorry to say have pro
duced, actions by Jewish teachers which
are so repugnant to the entire history
of your profession as to con3titute a
revolution in the annals of Jewish edu- j
cation." i
Max Kadushin delivered the valedio
tory address.
The following were the graduates:
Rabbis ? George Abel3on, Master ef
Arts, New York University; Philip
Reis Alstat, Master of Arts, Columbia I
University; Nathan Herman Colish, !
Bachelor of Arts, College of the City j
of New York, with merit; Isaac Alfie I

Newspaper Ads Called
Real Forum of People
Press Qub President Says It
Would Pay Government to
Patronize Press
It would pay the government to buy
advertising space in newspapers, Ed?
ward Percy Howard, president of the
New York Press Club, told the mem?
bers of the Church of the Ascension
Forum last night.
He spoke of papers not as aervants
of the publie, but as the magnified
voices of their owners and referred
to the advertising columns as the real
forum of the people.
"It is from these columns," he said,
"that the public should demand that
the government speak. When the gov?
ernment is forced to recognixe news?
paper space as a commodity aad uses
it as it uses other commodles for tne
welfare of the people. a big stride will
have been made in betering both our
economic and our political conditions.
"The newspapers are the only ef?
fective means of a proper contaet be?
tween the government and the people
who create it. The province of the gov?
ernment is to make people happy.
"The public money should be ex
pended for the public good. The de
partments of the government could per
form immeasurable service if they used
the newspapers aa a commodity and
with intelligence."
Robert G. Lees, a uniformed poatal
?mployee made an appeal for pubhc
support for the effort of the poorer
paid claeses of postal employees te ob
tain aa increase in wages.
