An nmbltlous project has been under

completed nnd work will be begun Im
mediately on n series of special nnd ox

Hodklnson, t'no president of the corpora
tion, has decided to engage C, I. Chester,
who has done some Interesting travel
work for the Bdlson and other com
panies, nnd send him In charge of a
corps of camera experts Into South

with South America, having traveled over

Tho expedition will leavo within tho

The expedition will be gone about nine

too long,
"It Is sometimes necessary for actresses
to kiss In portraying lovo scenct," said
Miss Stonchotise. "It Is not n personal
matter, but one of carrying out the ar
tistry of tho piny. Tho actress, In kiss

Is the emotion nnd not the net thnt the
player wishes to express. If tho nctrcss
understands the character nnd the art of

170,241 Letters From Mothers
Thousands of babies have been bathed, fed
dressed, put to bed, trained under the care
of THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL.
P TO THE PRESENT moment there
have been enrolled in the "Young
Mothers' Registry" more than 40,000
babies, whose progress has been painstak
ingly charted, watched and directed by The
Journal. In five years this department has
received more than 69,288 letters from mothers.
Last year The Journal physician, Doctor
Coolidge, replied to 22,146 letters letters

that must be answered, questions with which
anxious mothers would turn only to a source
which had their implicit confidence.

And a baby or little child means a real
home. Not a halfway-house between the
North Shore and Palm Beach, or a place to
rest between tango-tea and Tetrazzini. It
means a normal, earnest, home-loving home,
dreaming upward, eager for all that is new
and progressive, with thousands of wants just
developing ando with an income increasing
year by year.
Since "Flossie Fisher's Funnies" began to
appear in the magazine, 100,953 letters have
