Cutting Children's Ears.
It Is a senseless practice to cut
children's ears, and arises from a fool-
ish superstition. Many years ago it
was thought that backward ehlldrcn
could be cured by making an Incision
in a certain part of their ears. Th'
belief exists In some parts of the coun-
try today, the operation being per-
formed usunlly by a woman at tho

it results only In pain and misery for

Ethel Clayton is one of the most
ideal types of screen stars and her
reat popular'ty Is due not only to
her beatuy ( harm but also to the face
that in her portrayals she mirrors

bracing a stealing character and all •
f the beautiful and fine traits of the
weaker sex.
Miss Clayton keenly feels and lives
pat- | every role she portrays. She thinks
as well as acts her part, and is thus
keeping on the front line of the pro-
of the motion picture art.
Her charac terization in "The Ladder
of Lies" her latest ^aramcuiy Art-
craft picture which shows today at
the Idle Hour theatre is mark-
ed hv beauty and strength, and by the
tenderness of the underlying motives
which impel the heroine to make bit-

gled with three boys who had attempt-
d to rob him. and that in the strug-
gle a pistol which he tried to wrest
from the hand of one of his as-
sailants, exploded, the bullet hitting
Cress' thumb and a f nger of his left
