Little Marguerite Courtot is the
youngest star in filmdom, and the
Kalem company boasts exceeding
" much of their discovery. She
has won her way to the hearts of
thousands of movie fans and
others more fortunate who were
privileged to know her person

Some time ago Miss Courtot
met and became a fast friend of
the Princess Braganza da Velour
of Portugal. Now the Princess is
visiting in Union Hill, New JeF-
sey, and the two charming chums
are together almost constantly.
The Kalem company expected
Miss Courtot back at the Jackson
Vile Studio for the winter, but
she wrote to Director Bob Vignola
sayia that the Princess is urging
her to visit her in Lisbon.
It was just about one year ago
that Marguerite Courtot passed
the Kalem Studio without the
slightest thought of ever becom-
ing an actress. The Kalem di-
rector saw her and being greatly
attracted by her pretty face and
appearance. determined to max e

SCHOOL CHILD
NEEDS GOOD FOOD

Food supplies material to make
up for the waste of tissues, to
maintain the activities of the
body and to secure the growth of
the child.
The waste of the adult may
equal that of the child, but the
added necessities for growth
make the food supply of the child
of the utmost importance.

Try Fels-Naptha Soap once and you'll
never bother with other kinds. Doing

unnecessary work is not wise. Many
women think that they cannot do their
washing unless they stand over tub of
hot water and rub up and down on a
dashboard, wearing out their clothes,
hands and nerves.
AwOman doing her own work should
have any help that can be found for her,
and great help has been found and is
being used by hundreds of women. These
women do more i'm few hours than
others do I'm half a day because they use

Deadly Effect of Eruption.

''The effect of the eruption on what

volcano was annihilation. The position of
the death-line around the volcano came
practically down to the sea. fifteen miles

to a larger degree than would perhaps
be expected.
Bears, rabbits. reindeer and other ami
mails and birds We're made blind Dead
geese. ducks. ptarmigan. snipe. hawks
and many small birds were found at the
mouth of the kakhinak river. Man was
indirectly affected by the eruption through
the injury to other animal life and to
vegetation. The eruption differs from
almost all other known great eruptions
in that the immediate damage to property
was almost nothing, and that. as far as
Ia known. Il was not the direct and sole
cause of the loss of a single human life
The sparse settlement of the distric,

ECZZARDS BAY. Mass. July 2s.-The
Roston Cape Cod and New York canal.
connecting Buzzards bay with Nassa-

vessels to avoid the dangerous passage
around wreck strewn Cape Cod. was
formally opened today by August Bel
mont of New York, president of the
I constructing and operating company.
The canal shortens by seventy miles
the shipping distance between the
ports to the north and the south of 1t.
Although the canal has actually been
open from one end to the other since
early this month. no vessels other than
those belonging to the owners of the
canal have been allowed to pass
through il. TIE canal will be open TO
traffic tomorrow and will be completed

A feet of government torpedo boat de-
stroyers and submarines. private yachts
and excursion boats gathered here today
for the passage through the canal. Al

should pass through the canal to the
eastern entrance in Cape Cod and imme-
diately return. Formal exercises are
planned for this afternoon, with addresses
by Mr. Belmont. Gov. Walsh, Congress
man Thomas c. Thacher. representing
the Cape Cod district. and others.
Thirteen Miles Long.
The Cape Cod canal is thirteen miles
long, including a cut through sand and
powders from Buzzards bay to Sand
witch, Mass. 1t has a bottom 100 feet
in width, shelving out to 900 and 400
feet at the passing points, and has a
draught of twenty-five feet at low
tide, Greater in its dimensions than
the Suez canal, as originally construct
ed, 1t can accommodate the largest
ooastwise vessels afloat, with one or
two exceptions.
At the eastern end is a massive
breakwater 5000 feet long. which con-
tains more than $4,000 tons Of granite.
This is designed to protect vessels u.s.
ing the canal from the storms that
sweep across Cape Cod bay.
The $12,000.000 which has been ex-
pended in the constructing Of the canal
has been spent largely in excavating
some 100000 cubic feet of sand and
powders. In order to keep the wash
from passing vessels from wearing

raped or paved with granite blocks
