SOME CLEVER
ARTISTS. COMING
TO The LYRIC

The Lyric theater has scheduled
for Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee, the most unique
and wonderfully funny picture ever
produced. The name of this feature
alone brings smile to the counte-
nance of the most sedate person, and
when You consider that the main
character is portrayed by no less a
person than the famous comedian
Charles Chaplin, supported by Mabel
Normand, Marie Dressler, and host
of other clever artists, making in all
a cost of sixty fun makers, you can
really expect to see something out
OF the ordinary in this wonderful six
reel photoplay.
Yes, TITLES Punctured Romance"
is some picture, and from the house
records 1t has broken throughout the
country 1t certainly must be well
worth seeing. II costs real money to
produce good comedy picture, and
this particular one costs the local
management more to exhibit than any
other picture ever shown In the
town. Coming as 1t does direct from
a four days run in Salt Lake City at
advanced prices, 1t will doubtless be
well patronized, as there Is nothing
person enjoys more than a good
hearty laugh. a.aj

ITALIAN COUNCIL MEETS
Many Rumors Result, But Officials
Deny Their Au-
thsntleIty

Rome, April IA long audience
by King Victor Emmanuel to Minis
ter Sonnino this afternoon following
a session of the council Of ministers
the first since March 2s, resulted in
the circulation of many wild rumors
regarding a decision as TO ltaly's at
titude concerning the war. A semi
official statement was Issued, how
ever, denying that any such action
has been taken.
Even while the council Of minis
tiers was in session itSwas reported
that most momentuous decision was
imminent. The assertion was made
by persons who professed to be well
informed that Italy had decided to
throw In her lot with the allies and
invade Austria. Another rumor was
that Prince Won Bueiow, the German
ambassador, had induced Austria to
cede the SO called Italian provinces
to Italy and that the audience be-
tween the king and Baron Sonnino
followed by the meeting of ministers
was to ratify this agreement.
The statement denying these re-
ports declared that Baron sonnine
frequently was received by the king
to make reports on the international
situation while a session of the coun'
Gil Of ministers had become neces'
sary following the Easter vacation.

THE STORY OF FIRE MAKING

Today the world in which we live
Is veritable paradise to which each
days advance brings a new develop
ment for our betterment, education
and comfort it might seem We were
becoming too civilized as compared
TO our rugged and uncutured for
bears, who lived and prospered with
out the luXuries We nave come to
need. One of mans earliest and
most important discoveries was fire,
the story of the finding, the gaining
of knowledge, and the preservation
of which is uniquely shown by a col
lection of objects and implements as
sembled and arranged by the nation
al museum and now on display in
the Smithsonian exhibit at the Pana-
ma Pacific International Exposition
in San Francisco.
To appreciate true value of fire
to the world, 1t Is necessary to inn
agiue an existence without fire and
light and heat, its accompanying fea-
lures, as well as the industries, arts,
and sciences dependent thereon. We
would at once drop back to the stone
age in our daily occupations and So
cial life; our houses would be unlit
at night our food uncooked, our COM
munication with the rest of the
world would be broken, and only by
foot or on the back of domestiCated
animals could we journey abroad.
Not only this, but we would be un-
able to renew our existing stock of
tools, apparatus, supplies, and every
thing made or fashioned by the as
sistance of heat, and thus We would
be carried back to the early days of
the world by the loss Of fire alone.
No one really knows just how prim.
tive man came to discover fire and
utilize it; but at some far distant
period he certainly found that fire
existed in nature, derived from the
volcano, lightning or friction, though
he seems to have made no use of It
for long time. He may nave come
to know that it could be transported
or transferred through having seen
red hot volcanic rock ignite dry grass
leaves, or wood, or possibly by hav-
ing seen the lightning strike and set
fire to tree. He may even have Sc

ed his food, and kept him warm as
well as gave him light at night. But
1t was at least a long time before he
realized that he cou,i himself create
or make fire by rubbing two dry
sticks together. Once discovered,
this process alone was used for cen.
turtles, before 1t was found that by
knocking flint and pyrites together,
sparks capable Of igniting finder
might be struck. Somewhat later, In
the iron age, flint and steel were
substituted, a common method EN-.
ployed in fire making until late in
the seventeenth century. A little
later there came chemical inventions
which eventually gave way to match.

In discussing the matter MT. Broyles says that the public are being hood winxed into buying mattresses contain ing filthy, dirty linters, factory sweep ings soaked in old tallow cotton oil and other germ producing materials and will endeavor to have the legislature enact law requiring manufacturers to label all mattresses, stating specifically the character and quality of filling so that the unsuspecting public may know what they sleep on.
 Some dealers with perfectly honest in- tentions may say to customer This is fine cotton mattress" when in fact if the purchaser knew it's contents they would not permit their dog to sleep on it.
 At the Big Furniture House, where prices are right and clerks polite, the salesmen have been instructed as to the quality of merchandise they are to sell and they all know full well that the slightest misrepresentation would meet with the fate of the impolite clerk.
