Two feature photo plays, one featuring g Laura Sawyer. the other Florence Lawrence, continuing the role of Kate Kirby, the girl detective introduced in CheIseaa17750sa Daniel F,rohman pro- duetion- Laura Sawyer now becomes the central figure in overpow ering ingenious drama, which hat times vergedt on the tragic but remains al- ways within the bounds of human possibility. Florence Lawrence known to all picture fans is particularly clever in the role assigned to her. These two feature pictures are but a part of the days program, and the Elm pire should be the mecca of all picture fans.

A WONDER BOOK OF 1914.
The World Almanac. Newly Complete
 Halls the New Year,

That Wonder Book which, is The
 World Almanac and Encyclopedia, has
 made it's annual appearance. It is
 complete from the new tariff, the in come tax and the Currency bill to the final baseball score. and from the par eel post to the state of the wonnan-suf- frage movement.
 The standing features of the book are fully present, as usual-the cleo ton returns, the population tables, the statistics of cities, of crops, of col leges, of industries, of churches, of ev- erything that exists and grows. There are the expected pages of sporting rec ords and the facts of 8 year in art literature and the drama. There are lists of trusts and of millionaireS and.
 the condensed family trees of dist1n- guished Americans. There are the Constitution, the. Declaration of Inde- pendence and the platforms of po1iti- cal parties. There are a years chro-
 nology and a years necrology, besides the time tables of great events in years past. And there are other things
 which it would take an almanac of or
 dinary size-The World has it's more
 than a thousand pages-just to men ton.
 A book so constituted is a veritabfe volumed storeheuse of facts and fig
 ures. Butsthis is no case of cold stor- age. The records and other truths that The World Almanac presents are warm with living and immediate in terest, with relevance to the time, place and point directly at hand. So we have the reference book particular and par excellence. Where it is not ready for an instant's, consultation there is a void which any reader, stlr- dent or man of affairs must sometimes feel
 Contemplating The Worlds encyclo- pedic issue, one is reminded With | ainazement of the progress since the days when an almanac served chiefly i to tell the calendar days, the changes
 of the moon and the state of the tides

AUTO SHOW AT ARMORY


 At the Bridgeport Automobile show which opens at the state armory next Monday night. Mayor Wilson will press a button which will turn on the greatest electrical decorative display ever seen at 8 local public exhibition. Manager Stefber has returned from New York where he has arranged to have some of the principal exhibits moved here for the Bridgeport show. In the days when Wintons and Haynes made and drove auto cars there were no joy rides. The cars couldn't go much faster than horses. Most of the exhibitors at the first auto show at Madison Square Garden at the first automobile show ever held in America in 1900 were makers of bicycles. How far the automobile has been developed since that time will be aptly illustrated next week.
 The showswiIl open Monday evening at 8 o'clock and will be open thereaf- ter until midnight. An orchestra will play each afternoon and evening and there will be special entertainment. [

 TATHRN Jane Porter realized that AMk she was being borne away a w captive by the strange for
 est creattfre aswho had res. eried her from the clutches of the ape she struggled desperately to escape
 Presently she gave up the futile effort and lay quietly, looking through half closed lids at the face of the man who strodes easily through the tangled uudergrowth with her.
 TheSface above her was one of ex- traordinarY beauty.
 2 It was perfect type of the strongly masculine, unmarred by dissipation or degrading passions. One thing the girl had noticed part rticularly when she had seen Tarzan rushing upon Terkoz-the vivid scarlet band Fupon his forehead, from above the left eye to the scalp, but now as she scanned his features she noticed that it was gone and only a thin white line marked the spot where it had been.
 As9she lay more quietly. in his arms Tarzan slightly relaxed his grip upon her. :.
 Once he looked down into her eyes and smiled The girl had to close her own to shut out the vision of that handsome, winning face.
 Presently Tarzan took to the trees, and Jane Porter, wondering that she felt no fear, began to realize that in many respects she had never felt more secure in her whole life than now as she lay in the arms of this wild crea- ture.
 When with closed eyes she com menced to speculate upon the future A~ I,~

Here was problem the like of which he had never encountered, and he felt rather than reasoned that he must meet 1t as man and not as an ape. It was the order of the jungle for the male to take his mate by force. But4could Tarzan be guided by the laws of the beasts? Was not Tarzan man? But how did men do? He was puzzled He did not know. He wished that he might ask the girl, and then it came to him that she had already answered him in the futile struggle she had made to escape and to repulse him.
 \ But now they had come to their des- i tination, and Tarzan of the apes, with Jane Porter in his strong arms, swung l lightly to the turf of the arena where the great apes held their councils and danced the wild orgy of the dumdum.
 Though they had come many miles, 1 it was still but midafternoon. and the amphitheater was bathed in the half light which filtered through. the maze

him to the table he asked the at

got to the point where he felt
that he needed legal advice. AS a
preliminary, Hartley preached the
subject of Douglas absence and
said that he would like to retain
Mr.. Groseup as mis- counsel also.
'Tf we are going to get into a
mess over this piece of foolish
ness" he said, I'VE may as well
have you engaged for the de-
fense."

there was no Immediate danger,
but he enlarged upon the import
ance of Mr.. Hartley's not betray-
ing himself.
