under a full head of steam he demanded

was a show down between the operator
and Villa. The moving picture man. in
language that is said to have been ex-
ceedingly violent. told Villa that the
time had arrived for somebody to get
OF. and that, speaking for himself. he
had no intention of getting OFF, at
that painful moment. He apprised Villa
that with present processes, good NOV

It's a queer thing. this army game.
Now and then one hears an army officer
crying earnestly for rotation in office
And then the officer gets the rotation
and cries louder than evr. Thus ten
years ago one heard protests of this
sort:
It's shame that Leonard Wood has
been made Chief of Stan. Why, he's
nothing but a doctor"
And now Wood is no longer Chief OF
STAFF, but is in command of the Depart
ment OF the East and is likely to take
supreme command in the event Of war in
Mexico. And the very same people who
once sobbed at the thought of a mere
pill-roller bossing a beautifully ornament
ed military force now deprecate the mis-
take that has been made.
Most of which, on both sides, is nom
sense Wood became major general and
Chief of STAFF because he was pre-em-
inently the best man in the army. Most
of the army will admit that now. The
administration prefers another man as
Chief of Staff or wants Wood on the Dor
der-and the change is effected. Where
ever he may be. Wood will be doing a
days work And in a service that is
crammed with picturesque figures. Wood
stands out like a city hall in a park.

To begin with, he never was a mere
pill-roller, as the men who were his
detractors before they got better &C.

after this fashion: Fighting man. 20 per

Rebel Chieftain Proves to Be Practi.
cal Person as Well as a Mill
tary Man.

Pancho Villa is a practical person as
well as a military man. according to re-
ports received in Washington. He is said
to be deriving a considerable income
from moving picture concerns to sup
port the constitutionalist cause in Mexico.
Right in this connection story Is told
about the activities in Villas army of
a moving picture operator who is rep
resented to be a marvel in his line. AS
cording to reports received the moving
picture operator fought his way into the
good graces of Villa, and now it is said
the two worthless are close friends and
companions.
The moving picture operator is said
TO play an important role in all the
councils of war that are held preceding
engagements in which Villa appears. 1t
is related that when the operator first
attached himself to the rebel army he
found it difficult to convince Villa that
he and his business should be given con-
siderati6n at all times. Villa was will

TO SHOW RELIGIOUS
HISTORY ON SCREEN
International Bible Students Associa-
ton Will Present Movie" Produc-
ton at Belasco Theater.
ADMISSION IS FREE TO PUBLIC

The religious history of the world,
from the moment when the earth was
without form and void" down through
the corridors of time to the present day,
is traced in detail in the photo-drama.
Creation" to- be shown at the Belasco
Theater today, under auspices of the
International Bible Students Associa-
ton. 1t is free to the public.
The exhibition. which is one Of the
longest and most elaborate spectacles,
with music Accomplishments and lectures,
ever arranged, will continue every aft
ernoon and evening for several weeks.
The entire exhibition requires more
than eight hours to be shown. 1t Is.
therefore divided into four parts of about
two hours duration each.
The story of creation, So graphically
depicted in the photoplay. is instructive,
educational and scientific. and distinctly
religious in spirit. 1t, is drawn as accu-
rately as possible from the Bible story.
Beginning with the nebular star theory,
the pictures show the formation that, ac-
cording to scientists, became the world.
There are shown the gathering Of the
gases, the evolution toward solidifyins,
and finally the consolidation into the
bare world of the beginning.
Following this is shown the creation
of the vegetable kingdom, the methods by
which the plants multiplied and e1en
crossed their various forms to make new
species. Then comes the creation Of the
animal kingdom, and finally the crea-
ton of Man, as the king Of all other
earthly creation. The story of mans
disobedience. of the result of the fall
from Divine favor. of the downward
tendency Of sin is brought out by easy
stages up to the time of the deluge. In
delineating the deluge, the Bible account
Is strictly followed. Here the moving
pictures begin. The pictures which tell
the story of the deluge and the building
of the ark by Noah are probably the
most inspiring and awful of the entire
exhibition
Section 1 of the drama, which is to be
presented today and every afternoon and
evening this week. includes the Bible
story thus far, and in addition the life
and experience of the patriarch Abraham.

1t bore. and whalley had heard the story
many times before.
That stif leather bottom particularly
interested him. whalley asked himself
why the bag had missed the arm on the
car. and he listened to the mail bags
version Of the story. The mail bag didn't
speak very clearly, but other mail bags
had tried to tell the same story. and lit
tie by little, Whalley pieced 1t together.
He found that the mail bag had failed
to cling to the arm on No. because the
wet leather bottom had stretched and
lowered the bag just enough to destroy
the balance when the arm struck It.
Therefore. Whalley decided leather bot
toms were not good for mail bags. This
set him thinking in new channels. He
found that the leather bottom also
spread the canvas sides of the bag in
such way that the wind caused by the
moving train sometimes blew the bag
so far out OF position that the crane
missed it entirely.
Whalley took his idea home with him
and night after night worked on the
problem, and the more he worked the
more convinced he grew that a canvas
mail bag was the only solution of the
trouble.
Whalley invented his all-canvas mail
bag and patented 1t. Then he brought
the invention TO the notice of the postal
service officials and induced them to
make a few experiments. The first test
was begun last February. Twenty-Five
of Whalley's sacks were placed in SER
vice on the Washington and Greensboro
Railway Postoffice. between Washington
and Greensboro, n. c., and up to this
time oE,y four of them have been sent
back for repairs. and not a single miss"
is credited to any of them.
1t is probable that the Postoffice De-
partment will replace the present type
CT mail bags with the Whalley type, as
fast as TIE ones in use at present are re-
tired from service.
So II seems that even the mail bags
will tell you a story if you'll just stop
and listen.
