about Lyman H. Howe's moving pic
lures to be seen at the Grand on April
IL and 13, you would feel that you
could not afford to miss seeing the
new programme. 1t takes you from
fce-bound Polar regions to the trop-
les; from the homes, industries and life
in Holland, to a French battleship
where it shows you the duties and
life of the French sailor. 1t gives you
the sensation of riding 80 miles an
hour in an automobile as though you
actually participated in the race. 1t
shows you the European methods of
fighting big city fire-and the des-
perate efforts of the firemen, and still
more, hopeless plights of the fires vic
tins. 1t reveals an assemblage of Wild
animals in lake, forest, cave and ravfne
as they have never been portrayed be-
able moving pictures ever produced
are those entitled, '.Wild Birds at
Home" This amazing insight into the
family life of birds must be seen to
be believed. 1t is of supreme interest
not only to nature lovers, but the
quaint and provident ways shown will
delight anyone. Only born and recog-
n1zed bird lover could so deeply win
the confidence of the birds here shown
to enable him to get close enough to
get such remarkable results. Even then
extraordinary skill, resource, and
patience were required to obtain pic
lures of the mother bird feeding, car
ing for, and tenderly nurturing her
young. This phase adds such infinite
beauty and gentle charm to the pic
lures that it unconsciously enlists the
sympathy of the whole audience.

THE GIRL YOU LIKE.

She is the girl who is not "too
bright and good" to be able to find
joy and pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates
the fact that she cannot always
have the first choice Of everything
in the world.
She is the girl who is not ag-
gressivc and does not find JOY in
melting aggressive people.
She is the girl who has tact
enough not to say the very thing
that will cause the skeleton in her
friends closet to rattle his bones.
She is the girl who, whether it
is warm or cold, clear or stormy,
finds no fault with the weather.
She is the girl who, when you
invite her any place, compliments
you by looking her best,
She is the girl who is sweet and
womamIy to look at and listen to,
and who doesn't strike you as a
poor imitation of demi-mondaine.
She is the girl who makes this
pleasant place because she is so
pleasant herself.
And, by and by, when you come
to think of it, isn't she the girl
who makes you feel she likes you,
and, therefore, you like her?
