THE INSECT HERO
Some of the motion drama writers
have singularly grotesque ideas of a
popular tale, but they seem to "gei.
them over" nevertheless. It was
formerly cons.dfered the thing to cre
ate a model hero who was "right” at
every angle. The old plan was to drag
the hero through situations in whi;h
his manly qualities were absolutely
non-skid and puncture-proof. He j
was certainly a perfect gentleman in 1
every respect. I
"Here, little girl is the $40,000 that
Harold Hardheart robbed you of: !
take it and be happy." he said to the
heroine, and as he started to walk
away he was deeply surprised when
she wanted to marry him, but finally
consented.
The present innovation creates a |
hero who it too often a warm sport, !
out for any game, in sight. He is
permitted to make an awiul bounder
of himself through five reels. lie per
secutes the heroine, and when he finds
that he cannot rob her of her patri- !
mony he dlsccvcre3 that he loves her, !
and the heroine 'melts at once and
marries him.
This insect is shown to be worthy of
a cell in any trustworthy penitentiary !
in the land, and yet he is given a
fadeaway with the heroine and pro- i
sented with her hand and all of her
money. The moral, as it appears, is to
be a cad and get rewarded, and the
audience seems to cat it up.

CHILD BORN
AFTER MOTHER
IS KILLED
New York.—The birth of a child
half an hour after its mother had mat
a violent death by a fall from a
window in Brooklyn recently creates
one of the most remarkable surgical
records that has been made in many
years, according to the statement
made by one of the officials of the
Long Island College hospital.
While sitting by the areaway of
her flat on the third floor of 103 Col
umbia street, Mrs. Marie Fucchera, ?o
years, held in her lap her year old
child. She leaned from a window to
call to a neighbor, lost her balance
and fell, still holding the child, to
the basement.
* An examination of the dead woman
showed she was again to become a
mother and with his stethoscope, the
doctor could distinguish the faint
beating of another heart beneath the
3tilled heart of the mother. An
operation was performed immediately.

MARRIAGE
BY CONTRACT
NOW VOGUE
A recent number of the New York
Sun contains an article dealing with
the growing popularity of marryii.„
by contract, which is being adopted
by Barnard girls especially.
Instead of midnight elopements
and sleepy clergymen as witnessed in
best movies, the man and woman in
question get married a3 follows:
Assuming the man's name to be
Frederick Brown and the woman's
Georgiana Averill, they themselves
draw up a typewritten agreement
which reads thus:
"We, Georgiana Averill, residing ft
202 Fifth avenue, and Frederick Brown
residing at 39 West Eightieth stre-t,
do, by this contract executed this 281b
day of October, 1916, at 280 Broad
way, enter into the marriage rela
tion and do hereby take each other
for husband and wife. In witness
whereof we have subscribed our
names, in the presence of Richard
Averill and Al.ce Averill. both of 202
i ilth avenue, and Rosalie Brown of
T W st Eightieth street, and we md
the said witnesses have duly acknow
icuta-u tins evn.ract before a Judge
of record of the State of New York."
Then it is taken to a Justice's office
at d 3igned in the presence of witnes
ses. Very simple, very inexpensive
and very binding.
