Two charming. congenial, and highly
entertaining young folk were cordially
received by a National audience last
evening. They were Inez Bauer and
william Pruette. jr.. who danced and

One falls naturally into this chatty
style after listening to the Aborn pro-

whispering confidential asides to his
audltors, the young couple mentioned
seemed to be dancing with them, rather
than for them. and, on the whole. it
was a most Informal and happy AFFAIR.
only the defective patent and copy

nearly approximates Hitchcock that the
audience was distinctly disappointed

BUTTERMILK'S ECLIPSE

The news that many dairymen op-
pose the fashioned buttermilk
because it is too unstable to be
handled to commercial advantage,
shocks US less profoundly, grieves US
less poignantly than similar intelli-
eence would have done in the days
when, under the auspices of the
Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks,
then Vice President of the United
States, that sturdy drink was attain
ing eminence as a national beverage.
Buttermilk since those days has
suffered loss of prestige. 1t is still
a sound and wholesome drink, but
it Is without official exploitation and
has been allowed to go it's own mil Ky
way without the praise of poten-
tates.
The dairymen explain, to be sure,
that "cultured" buttermilk is all
right. But that will not help mat
ters much. New beverages have sup
planted in official favor the acidu-
lous draughts which brought delight
to Mr.. Fairbanks. The palates of
statesmen now yearn for grape juice.

sweet as the lilacs and jessamines
that nodded good-by in the old-fash-

turned to a mother and the severance
of ties that only woman can weave
from the fabrics of love; you felt
her wet eyelashes caress your red
dening cheeks: the pressure of arms
that had ached for you when the ills
of infancy came was again about
you; a voice that had soothed always
when you needed friend broke un-
der the sorrow of farewell-and you
swung off down the familiar lane
out into the world and the nearest
railroad station.
Among the things she said was

Mothers Day is to remind you of
the duty you owe to her; to freshen
the memory Of her sacrifices, her be-
lief in you, her prayers for your
material success.
If you forgot to write to her, the
fates will still be kind even if you
deceive a bit for her happiness and
date the letter back to Sunday.

THE LETTER TO MOTHER

Did you write a letter to your
absent mother on Sunday?
1t was Mothers Day-dedicated to
the woman who nurtured you, who
crooned lullabys in the long ago and
brought the sleep to baby eyes, who
guided you by prayer and precept
through the character-forming years
of boyhood, who watched through
tears your start from the old home
upon life's highway in early man
hood.
Many poems have been written in
praise of mother and motherhood
They were deserved. But your
mother treas sures above any poem
ever written letter from you-the
son away from the homestead of
youths happy days.
Probably the most of us forget, at
times, to do the little things that
mean much to her as she grows old
and turns an adorable, wrinkling
face toward the end. Men grow busy
in the struggle for career, a live
lihood. Their letters grow less fire.
quent to the old home town; their
visits are far between. The daily
tasks call unceasingly-and the alb
sent son responds and the mother
waits.
And yet they are not bad sons,
these forgetful ones. 1t is merely a
question of thoughtlessness, of put
ting off until tomorrow what a
mother needs today.
Whether success or failure is
crowning your efforts out in the
world of big things, to her you are
still the boy she kissed good-by that
day you left for the rainbow's end
1t is not difficult to recall the pic
ture. 1t is one that never should
fade in memory.

dicate that Government assistance
was opposed.
1t will be valuable to know what
the sentiment of the business world
is on the subject of subsidies and
subventions as aids to the creation
of carrying fleet. 1t would notbe
surprising if the view taken should
be similar to that regarding the
building of railroads. Every county
and township votes bonds, or other
wise assists the construction of rail
lines, and it was with Government
support that the. great transconti-
mental roads were built.
The question is one for American
business judgment to decide, for it
affects practically every economic
interest of the nation.

BELASCO.

The second, week of the kinemacolor
pictures OF The Fighting Forces OF
Europe" began at the Beasco Theater
yesterday afternoon with the presenta-
tion of several new reels Of film depict
ing scenes not shown during the first
week. The program as whole, how
ever. remains the same. and gives the
interesting and intimate view of the
European armies that were the features
OF the first week.
These pictures, made by the only nat
ural color process of motion photog-
raphy that has been found practical
give that hrlllianCe and color to the
warlke scenes that has been missed
from the black and white pictures that
have been made by the ordinary pro-
CesseS. They arc much more compre-
henslve. in many respects. than the
average motion picture exhibition of
the same subjects. for the rea son that
they embrace much larger field than
the usual war pictures.
The kinemaCOlor pictures are not
views OF actual fighting. but Of the
training OF the lighting forces Of all the
countries now engaged in war as well
as OF countries which have remained
neutral. Thus the military power OF
Italy. Switzerland. and the United
States are shown in addition to the
army and navy OF England. Germany,
France. Russia, the Balkan countries.
Greece. Turkey, and Austria.

AMERICAS GREATEST NEED

The United States must become
amphibious. We have been stabbed
into a realization of what it means
to be without merchant marine. In
normal times we paid a tribute of
four hundred millions annually to
Europe and Japan to handle our
commerce, and in addition made
them present of 25 or 80 per cent
of the worlds export trade. Now
we have the markets of the whole
earth crying to us, eager to purchase
our products and manufactures, but
we lack ships to transport them.
1t was imperative that a movement
be begun looking to the establish
ment of an American marine. The
lead has been taken by the Cham
ber OF Commerce of the United
States, which has submitted refer
endum to thirty thousand represen-
tative business men throughout the
country. On the ballot will be Gov
ernment ownership and operation;
Government ownership and private
operation; subsidies from the Gov
ernment, and subventions from the
Government.
At the recent annual meeting of
the chamber the members by two
thirds vote opposed the ship pur-
chase bill favored by the Admins
tration. 1t indicated that business
sentiment is hostile to an innovation
savoring of socialism and to an in
vasion by the Government of the
legitimate field of private effort. The
vote taken then, however, did not in

SHARPLY contrasting with the discon-
nected musical comedy structure Of
Bright Eyes, which was presented
last week, is Naughty Marietta "A
genuine light opera which forms the
orering of the Columbia Musical Stock
Company this week-the most ambitious
effort of the company's season.
Light opera, with well sustained
musical theme presented in the mel
lowest of Victor Herbert measures.
Naughty Marietta" is an unusual Sc
lection for stock presentation for sew
eral reasons. The most important lies
In the fact that for two seasons It
served to provide the temperamental
genius of Emma Trentini with an out
let Tor her peculiar qualities of enter
talnment to an extent that 'Marietta"
ana the Trentini personalities became

THE NEW SMITHSONIAN

Not many years ago the Smith
sonian Institution was regarded as
place where highly trained scientists
spent hours in dingy rooms in search
of polysyllabic information to put in
annual reports. Downstairs, as a
concession to visitors, stuffed birds
and animals, and Indian figures were
on view.
Nowadays the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, in its way, is doing as much
to popularize science, especially
those branches relating to natural
history, ethnology, and invention. as
is the National Geographic Society
in another field
Recent exhibits at the Smith
sonian Institution and at the New
National Museum have summed up
periods Of history, and the develop
ment of certain subjects, more ade-
quately than any textbook, or even a
pictorial representation could do.
There was the notable exhibition Of
American fashions, ranging from
costumes of the days of Martha
Washington down to the present
day. Another exhibit showed the
progress of the American locomo-
tive. third the development of the
typewriting machines, and others, in
telligently and simply placarded, will
do much to stimulate interest in the
history, customs, social life, and
abodes Of the American Indian of
the past and present.
Most recently announced is the
room arranged especially for chill
dren. There wonders of nature are
grouped so they compel the atten-
ton Of the child mind. Curious rocks,
birds, animals, fishes, insects, and
plants are on view.
This work was begun under the
late Dr.. Samuel Langley, who made
himself Honorary curator" for the
cf.ildren's exhibit, and, in pursuance
Of his plan, two years careful study
and work were given to the exhibit
which now affords a valuable edu-
cational adjunct to the Smithsonian.
The average layman feels a pc
culiar gratitude to scientists who
can thus humanize and vitalize sci
ence so that it's appeal can become
well-nigh universal among men
women, and children with the aver
age normal instincts of curiosity and
interest.
