In the uncouth mining towns; the scenes
In the concert halls and drinking estab-

follows with intense interest the schem-

Mcnamara to obtain possession of the
valuable property of Glenister.
The elimination Of this intrigue is a
hand-to-hand fight between these two

OBJECTS TO MOVIES"
Abe l.. Einstein, OF the Stanley and
other photo-playhouses, objects to the use
OF the word movies" Writing to the
EvENISG LEDGER. no says:
Among the various matters which
have received attention in our at
tempts to elevate the general tone Of
the motion picture industry is the
question OF the elimination of the
word movie" as applied to tho bet
ter class OF photoplay productions. To
this end we have had conversations
and correspondence with many editors
of prominent magazines and others.
1t occurs to us that you may feel dis
posed to take similar measures in
handling the photoplays at the Stan
ley Theatre. L believe the term
movies has been detrimental to the
photoplay industry. especially when
you take into consideration the digni-
fled manner in which plays are offered
at the Stanley Theatre.
Mr.. Einstein is right TO a certain e.
tent. The photoplay industry has risen
far above its original status, but It is q
question whether the phrase "photoplay"
could be applied Justly to sapstick
farce such as are common just now or to

He CAME BACK


A young Irish curate was preach
ing his first sermon, and chose for
his text the miracle of the loaves and
fishes. He was very nervous, and
read it, "And they fed five people with
five thousand loaves of bread and five
thousand fishes"
Thereat one of his rustic hearers
murmured, loud enough to be heard:
That's no miracle, begorra. l
could do that myself"
The curate overheard him, and so
on the following Sunday he announc-
ed the same text, but had it right this
time: "And they fed five thousand
people with five loaves Of bread and
bread and few fishes"
He paused second, and then lean
ed over the pulpit and said:
Gould you do that, Mr. Murphy"
Murphy replied: Sure, yer reVer-
ence, l could"
"And how could you do it, asked
the priest.
"Sure, yer reverence, could do it
with what was left over from last

The causes OF ruptured fabric and

Separated fabric is usually due to two
causes; Insufficient initiation or friction

are kept properly inflated, separation

Delays Prove Costly

Make all repairs at tnce.
Always carry .'our spare castings IN
waterproof covers.
Don't carry your extra tubes loose
in the tool box Those sharp tools and
the chatting they cessarily receive
will ruin them. Careful drivers carry
them in n flexible waterproof bag that
fits the tube snugly.
Keep idle tires in a dry, cool place,
away from direct sun.
After putting a new tube in casing,
see that it is nct pinehed by the bead,
valve base, lugs or flap.
An inner protector should be used
only in old castings in order to obtain
a little Aiore mileage, but never on new.
An inner protector by making the cas-
ing that much thicker lessons the re-
silency of a case and also generates
heat which will soon cause the plies
to separate, thus raining the tire.
When used AT all they should b. proper
ly cemented.

Discussions are sure 10 arise as TO
who had the better of the bout. To
my way of thinking there wasn't
much between them, but that much
was in favor of Weinert. He is a
better boxer than Howard and he is
a better fighter than Howard, but it
might be added that he isn't as smart
a fellow as Howard, who. through
much experience, has learned a lot
of clever stuff that is not picked up
in minute-or year. either, AS
TO punishment, Welnert was the
worse off. but Howard was not a
beauty by any means Before the
fight there was much favorable talk
among the big men of Weinert's pros
poets and after the bout, even by
those who thought he had been
beaten, the boy was held in high
favor. When Manager Messenger
heard that there was so much differ
ence of opinion over the result of the
battle, he said:
well, I figured We won clearly,
but II there is a difference of opinion
