WARNER WILL STAR IN
 CROOK PLAY AT BIJOU
Alias Jimmy Valentine" Offering of Grayce Scott Players This Week.
 Strong Heart Interest

John Warner is the star of the play
 at the Bijou theatre this week. for he
 will appear as Jimmy Valentine in the
 play by Paul Armstorg. .Alias Jimmy
 Valentine beyond doubt the most suc-
 cessful crook drama ever written.
 A reformed convict is always more
 or less of parsonage. certainly an in
 dividual of interest, mysterious char
 acter to say the, least. for what he has
 suffered, or what went on behind the
 prison walls. or what thoughts chased
 themselves through his mind during his
 moments of enforced leisure always cause people to turn to him with an in
 quiring mind, though none would will
 1ingly go through his experiences. And
 when that convict emerges from prison
 and secures a position of trust in
 large banking institution, with money
 on all sides, within his grasp, and when he employs as his assistants in that
 bank friends that he has made while
 in the penftentiary, then that ex-con- vfct becomes source of wonderment.
 There is a throb in every line of
 Alias Jimmy Valentine" heart grip in every passage, yet there is enough humor to lessen the tenseness of the situations. Climax follows climax in the story with almost kaleidescopic ef- . l., l. tense situation to another with such rapidity that interest never lags, even for moment. It will be a tremendous production, and will tax the ingenuity of the stage employees, as we'll as the actors; but never yet has the Grayce Scott company failed, and they will once more prove equal to the task of giving a corking good production of Alias Jimmy Valentine
 MT. Warner is to have the prime part of the season as Jimmy Valentine, and Miss Scott will once again be a society
 lady and the sweetheart, the kind of part, in the vernacular, she literally eats up. MT. Lane will be the implaca- ble Doyle, who finally succumbs to the pleadings of Cupid. Dewitt Newing Will return to the cast in the character of Bill Avery, yeggman, and all the rest of the company will be assigned pleas Ling and effective roles. As in all of the plays of the Grayce Scott company. the production under the direction of MT. Newing will be one of the features of the performances. It will be a note worthy attraction from curtain to cur tain, and will merit and doubtless re- ceive heavy patronage The play to fol low Alias Jimmy Valentine" will be the drama that caused New York to gasp-"The Lure'

Griffith from the two famous stories written by Thomas Dixon entitled "The Clansman' and "The Leopard's Spots" The unbiased criticisms of the greatest newspapers in America best tell the story of how thoroughly he succeeded. Never before in the history of the motion picture drama has such praise been bestowed upon a work of dramatic art of native origin.

 present at the Jefferson theatre on Thursday matinee and night, November
 4. Role Cooper Megrue and Walter
 Hackett, the authors, say they have
 aimed to give the public rip-roaring g
 laugh provoker and Conan and Harris
 believe they have succeeded in doing
 so. MT. Conan gave a great. deal of his
 personal time to the rehearsals and injected into them his personality to such an extent that a performance not able for swiftness, smoothness and general completeness has resulted.
 Forbes Robertson is proud of the fact
 that his first bank balance was real
 ized from his painting of the church
 scene in Much Ado About Nothing, ?
 which was hung in the Royal Academy
 and now rests in the Players club in
 New York This painting was com
 missioned by the late Sir Henry 1rv-
 ing, who proposed that Claudio should paint the scene in which he appeared for $750. Forbes Robertson at once agreed. Irving was so delighted with the result that he insisted on doubling the amount and sent him a check for $500. Forbes Robertson returned il | twice, but in vain. Irving was adamant and had his way.

In the first place, but the last half of the week, no less person than Lew DocSstader. the world-famous minstrel man, will be there, witlfBa fun company to entertain Lyric audiences There's no use to dwell on the merits of Lew Dockstader, and there Is certainly no necessity to mention just how many years he has been in the min strel business. Dockstader will be the headiner for the last half of the week.
 For the first half of the week four ex- cellent acts are billed. Smith Austin and his clever company, grotesque comedians, will put on roaring sketch entitled All Fun" And it is all fun, if one is to be- lieve the press reports which have been given this company from place to place. Each line is a laugh and there are some hundred or so lines.
 Wheeler Earl and Vera Curtis will pre- sent The Girl and the Drummer" the act billed as a dozen minutes of smiles" Earl and Curtis are good actors and their sketch is one of the best in popular-prfced vaudeville.
 Fred and Albert will give Lyric audi ences something different in the way of gymnastic stunts. They have been on the vaudeville stage for nine years and when the public accepts and enjoys gym nasts for nine consecutive years they are right there.
 Amy Lesser, delightful singing come dienne, will finish up the bill for the first half of the week.
 In addition to Lew Dockstader. the bill for the last half of the week provides for a novelty act by the Davies family. ..The Fall Guy a comedy sketch, said to be humdinger. will appear on the bill for the last half of the week.

The Army's Engineers

l
 In all the great continental armies com munication is maintained on the battle field by a special signaling corps. Tht
 British army, so far, has not found ii necessary to establish such a corps, and
 the Royal Engineers. assisted by tht
 trained signallers that are attached to every battalion and regiment carry out the bulk of this work.
 As the army moves forward, along its extended front field telegraphs and tele- phones are erected by mounted men ot the engineers. Latter'y wireless telegraph companies have been formed, equipped with a special form of light apparatus for wireless that can easily be carried upon a single motor wagon. It can be got to work in very short space of time, and can be dismantled at the finish with equal speed
 The ordinary telegraph and telephone
 companies have with them lights carts Several miles of light, insulated wire oi
 drums are caTied, together with tho necessary tools, batteries, and equipment for setting up a telegraph or telephone field station.

done before.
 The thousand and one things required by the soldiers have resulted in a boom in many trades which the average per son has never heard of. For instance. there was never such demand for boot laces, underclothing, socks, buttons. cart ridge belts, razors, knives and forks, blankets. jampots, harness, and hair combs to mention only few of the nec- essaries that are being bought whole sale every day. Again, some enterpris- ing manufacturers have made small for tunes out of the supply of such things as muttons, badges, ''swagger'' canes, tins in which to pack gifts to troops at the front khaki ties, and so on.
 Great profits have been made in the

coal trade. but perhaps greater in the shipping industry, where the demand for freights has been such that immense for tunes have been made. During the past few months the value of steamships has been going up by leaps and bounds. Re- markable prices have been realized for secondhand steamers which are con- stantly being sold for more than they cost to build. A four-year-old cargo steamer which was bought for f30,000 has just been sold for E6S,000 while another which cost e50,000 shortly before the war has now realized double that price.

 A curious souvenir of her victory over the Dresden is in possession of H. M. $ Glasgow. Among the survivors" of the German raider which were picked up by the Glasgows boats was a healthy young pig. This animal has been adopted by the Glasgow's crew as their ships mascot The pig takes quite happily to his new role of providing amusement for British tars. It has become quite "chummy with it's new messmates, and follows them about the decks like a dog. To one blue- iacke& in particular the animal has at tached itself, and during off-duty times the man may be seen taking a nap on deck and using the pig for a pillow.

Horsepower

From the Louisville Herald.
 The use of the horse power as a meas ure of an engines work came naturally from the fact that the first engines were built to do work which had formerly been performed by horse. John Smeaton, who built atmospheric engines before Bolton

/ and Watt placed their more complete ma
 chine on the market. had valued the
 work done by a strong horse as equal to
 lifting a weight of 22.oO0 pounds one foot high minute When Bolton and Watt began to bid for public favor. they agreed to place their engines for the value of one-third part of the coals which are
 saved in it's use.' They also increased the value of the horse power to B. .OO foot pounds, so that their engines were half again as powerful for their rated pow CT
 as those of their competitors. In this way they established the value of the horse power. The following are the va rious values of horse power: Thirty three thousand foot pounds minute, 55c foot pounds second, 2565 thermal units an hour, 42.7 thermal units a minute The horse power of a boiler depends on its capacity for evaporation. The evaporation of 50 pounds of water from 100 degrees Fahrenheit into steam at seven pounds gauge pressure equals 34i1 pounds and at PIP degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to a horse power

Prisoners of War

From Tit-Bits.
 The laws or recognized principles of war in relation to prisoners of war may De summarized as follows:
 Not armies alone. but the entire people of vanquished nation, state. or town come under the sway of the victors- that is, of their government. The treat ment of prisoners of war was very SC we're in years past. and although the putting to death of prisoners became gradually less frequent they were gen. erally sent away as slaves. Up to the thirteenth century such was their fate In later times, however, 1t was held to, be iustifiable to slay the garrison of be- leaguered city or fortress that had re fused to surrender after the place had become untenable.
 Napoleon. in 1799. in putting to death about 12N Turks-part of the garrison of ,Jaffa-aftersa obstinate siege, is thought to have been the last soldier to practice such barbarity

How Worry Hurts


 Worry has come to be question of hy-
 giene rather than of religion. Whether immoral or not, it is certainly unhealth full so the doctors tell us Whatever It's effect upon the soul, it is known to injure the body.
 If the medical man is correct in his lat l est deductions, many of the most dis | tressing of our physical ailments are due 1 to worry alone.
 | The pulse of worried man is irregular It beats intermittently and its force va ries greatly. He sighs frequently. His respiration is repressed. He is likely to be pale. His extremities are cold. | There is but one meaning to this. 1 Through the marvellous influence which
 mind exercises upon matter the worry has grpped the heart, the circulation is impaired. and chronic heart disease is to
 be feared unless the worry ceases. l The stomach is likely to suffer also | The same worry which disturbs the hearts functions plays havoc with diges- I tion often Recent observations demon- strate that when one is in extreme anN- 1 iety there are relaxtion and decreased mobility throughout the entire almentary l tract. The appetite fails The secretions are disturbed Should the anxiety con tinue, the subject is almost certain to be- come confirmed dyspeptic. l The effect of worry upon the internal glands has not been fully studied Enough is known, however to assure :he l physician that it affects the secretions | of these glands very seriously through l the sympathetic nerves. It thus becomes an important agent in producing ex- l ophthalniic goitre and train of other 1 ills that can only be defined when the real functions of the glands in question are more adequately studied. Insomnia, q
 most fruitful source of physical ills, is q certain ccnsequepnce of worry Diabetes 1 is often due to the same cause. Times Are Changed From the Milwaukee Sentinel. ''The farmers wife used to get the egg money for little 'trifies she needed l "Well?" N s-.. Is
