The government wants $12,000 from the Alaska Steamship company for the alleged breaking of the cable connecting the city of Valdez with the States. If some one paid the gov ernment $12,000 every time that rotten old cable has broken in the past two years, Uncle Sam could build a hard road from here to Seattle with the money.

How About Ford?
Crane Wilbur, who, with Mary Charlie

Road o. Strife" has been with the Lu-
bin Company exactly two months, and
during that time he has owned four diff
ferent types of automobiles. He first
purchased medium-powered runabout
and within two weeks sold II and bought
n hlgh-powered touring car The latter
didn't suit him. so he turned this In and
became the owner of fast raceabout.
One long tour in this convinced him that
the car wasn't comfortable for n long
Journey so he sold II and now he rides
in a high-powered cabriolet.
Wilbur had the body on his new car
especially designed for him. He can
change the body from an open runabout
to a closed coupe and when taking
scenes on an outside location, he simply
pulls down the curtain and uses the car
as a dressing room. Then at the lunch
con hour he opens the lid of a small ice
box, fitted behind the seat where refresh
ments wait to quench the thirst and
please the appetite. There's nothing
like enjoying life," says Wilbur, "espe-

The Vitagraph Company has under
taken the production Of a feature drama,
espousing the cause of woman suffrage,
entitled "The Ruling Power" which,
when completed, will bring into pictorial
prominence all the well-known suffra-
gette leaders. THE Ruling Power was
written by Frank Dazey, and is being
produced by the Vitagraph Company
under the auspices Of Mrs Raymond
Brown, Lionel Belmore being the direc-
tor in immediate charge. While THE
Ruling Power" naturally favors woman
suffrage, the interest will centre chiefly
in the dramatic strength Of the story,
the real propaganda being reserved until
the end. An unusually strong Vitagraph
cast has been selected for the enactment
OF the principal characters of THE Tul-
ing power" the personnel including such
well-known Vitagraph players as Edith
Storey. Leah Baird. Maud Milton, Ethel
Corcoran, l.. Rogers Bytton, Lionel

Mabel True to Movies
Mabel Normand, queen of the Movies
and feature Comedienne with the Key
stone Film Company, was approached by
a representative of the most powerful or
ganl2ation in the United states last week
and an offer Of thirty weeks engage
ment at an enormous salary was offered
Miss Normand was unable to accept, as
she is signed UP on contract with tho
Keystone Company and receives salary
that is quite sufficient to make Vaude-
vile temptations of little account TO her.
Miss Normand has been with the Key
stone Company since 1t made Its first
picture in 1912. and Is as much a part OF
the keystone as q lens is OF n camera.
An Indexed Wardrobe
Dorothy Gish, who has starred in many
OF the Majestic productions seen In the
Mutual program, boasts one of the most
extensive wardrobes in FINLAND. Indeed.
the number of gowns she possesses Is so
large that, in order to know which one
best suits the part for which she has
been cast, she has had n photographer
take" her in each of her gowns.
So, instead of trying on her gowns un-
til she finds the one she needs, she looks
through her indexed cabinet, where the
photographs have been filed, according to
their cut, colors, etc. until she finds the
one she believes best suits her.
1t is then an easy matter to bring out
the one desired. When she has finished
robe and the photo filed away A cus-
tuner has been specially engaged by Miss
Glsh to keep her extensive wardrobe as
complete as possible. She has private
seamstress, who does nothing but devote

POREIRlO DIAZ.

Tragic was the death Of DiaZ. Pa
thetic also was the taking off of this
statesman.
His wish was to- live long enough
to see government restored in Next
co and permanent relief brought to
the people he loved.
Thirty-five years is a long time to
rule over any nation. but especially
remarkable in such a tenure in Next
co, where dynasties fall and crumble
over night. .,..,
Diaz understood the Mexican pco-
pie. Here was the source of his
strength. He was a dictator when it
became necessary to hold in line the
turbulent revolutionist. Retiring
when eGhis control became uncertain
and the rumbllngs of revolution were
heard abroad in the land, he believed
he could save the nation from a
bloody civil war.
Yielding the reigns OF government
to another, Diaz since 1911 has seen
the stability Of the republic destroy.
ed. His labors Of years have been
wrecked; the credit of the nation
ruined; starvation has replaced thrift
and initiative. Anarchy has brought
the nation to the verge of despera-
ton.
Thus in less than five years has
in%ternecine war robbed Mexico Of the
fruits Of Diaz's constructive and en-
ecutive ability.
Criticized, as he was, DiaZ knew
what Mexico needed better than her
critics, the very men who today are
butchering her youth and filling their
own pockets with ill-gotten gain.
Mexico needs another Diaz.
