II would appear that the alien popr-

interested in gaining citizenship than is
that OF Ohio: for last year one out OF

Sh1nmariZinC. it appears that in New

county. one out of every lOS;
in Ohio. one out of every 145: In
Kansas city. one out of every l5S; in

dency to naturalize appears proper
tionately best in places where the for
eign population is largest Kansa s
naturalized. last year. one out OF every
l9f of its aliens.
The effort of the Naturalization Bu-
reau is to better these records; to
hasten naturalization everywhere: 70
make the new citizens intelligent, lit.
crate, and understanding. To this end
it is organizing its big educational
campaign.

At the Palace Tonight.

George Blandon hated girls. SO in
tense was his dislike that he kept out
OF the way when any of his mothers
friends called upon her, together with
their daughters.
Now it was Mrs. Blandon's dearest
wish to see George married. Knowing
that only extraordinary methods would
have any effect, she decided upon a
course of action which promptly
brought results. Her plan meant deep
humiliation for Jean Breslow her pret-
ty but poverty-stricken niece, whom
Mrs. Blandon desired her son to wed.
The outcome of the mothers plot is
shown in The Girl and the Bachelor" /"
Kalem two-act romantic comedy
which comes to The Palace tonight
Tom Moore and Margaret Courtet are
featured in this story. Be sure you see
it at The Palace tonight.
THE Days Adventures is a Bio

Marian Lorimer AN affectionate and
impulsive young wife, falls upon her
coarser-natured husband, and he re-
turns TO the waiting arms of Madge
Creighton, whose charms appeals TO
him more than the delicate qualities Of
his wife. A baby girl comes TO the
home of the Lorimers, and, for time,
this new tie unites husband and wife
more closely, but soonLorimer becomes
again entangled in the wiles Of the
other woman. Jealous and angry, the
heart-sore Marian listens TO the false

At the gate Morian turns back drawn
from the abyss by the love of her child,

At the Lyric Tonight.

A two-reel British Sepoy drama, a
military masterpiece, is the feature at
The Lyric tonight. Thousands of SOL
diers take part in the thrilling hand
to-hand fight for the gate to the Indian
city. AS the story goes, Colonel Free
ney, his three brothers and their Irish
regiment, are stationed in India. The
General hates Patrick because his
daughter is in love with the young
Irishman
GeneralMcLain wants his daughter to
mary a nobleman. The boys of the
regiment get a flag from Dear Old
Ireland made by the loving hands of
their mother and blessed by the old
priest. The Generals daughter insists
on flirting with the Colonel and is call
ed down by her father.
She pulls the flag down, throws it on
the floor and sneers at the Colonel for
hanging it up. The Colonel takes the
flag from her angrily. Just at this time
a message arrives telling of the Sepoy
rebellion. 1t is almost impossible to
take the gate, but the Irish lads finally
smash their way to victory. The story
ends with theGeneral praising the reg
iment. His daughter takes it upon her
slf to cheer the gallant Colonel and is
orderd by her father to capture" him.
The next is a two-reel Rex drama,
THE Vagabond," featuring Herbert
Rawlings and Anna Little, and a
screaming farce, "All In the Same
Boat" making it a good fiye-reel show
at The Lyric tonight.

TOURING AFFORDS
FINE VACATION.
Roads in All Parts of Country Have
Been Prepared for Motorists.

Nothing in the world is so good for
the business man and his family as
to get out on the highways for two
weeks automobile tour. There is a
rest about it, a recreation in the chang
ing scenes and in the beautiful vistas,
that is unequaled by any other form of
vacation. And there is no reason why
the trip should not go smoothly if a
few essentials in preparation are look
ed after.
Baggage should be placed in suit
able cases, and these should not be
thrown into the tonneau but should
be strapped out of the way. If spare
tires are carried, the opening in their
center offers an excellent opportunity
to stow away impedimenta. Ordinary
suitcases, if placed in the bottom of
the car will soon become footsore
tools and by the end of the trip will be
so badly disfigured that they will be
unfit for respectable use.
Touring promises to reach heights
this summer which it has never attain
ed before, and the good roads which
spread in every direction toward
Americas scenic wonders will lead
hundreds of thousands of motorists
on the best vacation they have ever
enloyed.

A HAPPY FAMILY
OF DOGS AND MONKEYS.
Snyder Coaching Party Will be Here
With Gentry Brothers Show.

A touch of nature makes the whole
world kin, and the touch of nature that
is brought out by the Snyder Fam
ily' with Gentry Brothers Famous
Shows, brings all audiences to hearty
laughter. The Snyder Family is the
unique climax of an idea.
At odd times around winter quarters
he built little family carriage. made a
tiny set of harness, several dresses, and
everything else that goes to make up
the toggery for family out riding.
Then he drew upon dogs and mon
keys for his characters. Two big dogs
were chosen for his steeds. Another
big dog, but of different color, was
chosen for Mr.. Snyder. Then Mrs.
Snyder was found, and a nice new
dress was fitted.
From among many other dogs lit
tie terrier was chosen for the Snyder
baby. OF course, the baby had to have
a nurse A monkey was elected, and a
larger monkey chosen for the coach
man. After much rehearsal the ami
mails were working perfectly. Now
they drive in state into the tent of the
Gentry Brothers Show.
The family pays a visit while the
monkey nurse takes the baby outside
When the coach returns it is turned
over. The coachman rights it, and the
nurse attends the injured members
The manner in which these animals 20
trough their entertaining work is one
of the most laughable features of the
Gentry Brothers Famous Show. With
them the ''SnyderFamily" viii visit this
city on mkt Saturday, June H.
For this city only admission is espe-
tally reduced to 25 and 35 cents.
