"The Birth Of A Nation p

D. w. Griffith's THE Birth of a
Nation" is decidedly the most re-
markable historical spectacle ever
presented in America. 1t will be
seen at the Grand Opera House to-
night, and tomorrow. matinee and
night.
Petersburg, and Atlanta, Appomat-
tox and Ford's Theatre, the foothills
of South Carolina, and the wild rides
of the Ku Klux Khan live again in
Mr.. Griff1th's $4,000 feet of superb
motion picture, which took eight
months to produce, cost 100000,
employed $4,000 people and 5000
horses. The great spectacle is an
epitome of scenes, incidents, charac-
tiers, passions and emotions of the
whole period from 1861 to 1870
the period occupied by the Civil War
and Reconstruction. Suggested by
Thomas Dixon's 'The Clansman, land
THE Leopard's Spots" it has a
grandly epical quality of it's own
which stamps 1t as masterpiece of
genius. The enormous popularity
achieved by it in New York, Boston,
Chicago, San Francisco and Los An
geles has been repeated in all the
towns of the route, and the pros
poets are that it will crowd the local
theatre at every performance. ADV

Tassels

So many times the home sewer is
apt 20 f6fget that many of the small
ef trimmings she can make herself
ut great saving of her dress allow
ance. This is particularly the case
with taSsels. This small trimming is
very stylish this year, and a great
number of fancy tassels of odd ma
terials are being shown on new
frocks.
It is not hard matter to make a
tassel. For a silk or wool or chen
lille tassel wind your strand of silk or
wool around two pegs or pins lit
tie more than twice the distance
apart of the length you wish the tas-
sci to be. Gather the skein together
in the middle and tie it temporarily
with thread. Then detach the skein
from the pegs and wind your wool
or silk or fancy braid around the
doubled strands just below the tenn
Qorary' tying. Then cut the doubled
lends and your tassel is complete.
For beaded tassels, which are very
stylish, a different method will have
to be employed. The beaded strands
OF silk, not beaded too closely, will
have to be carefully measured, as
they cannot be cut after doubling. A
large bead may be used for the head
OF such a tassel and each thread
threaded through this large bead and
all tied together in a large enough
knot.
Narrow ribbons can be made into
tassels in the same manner as silk
or wool threads. Strips of leather
can be treated in the same way.

For his sermon today President Ell

2. Separate Me Barnabas and Saul
for the Work Whereunto l Have

He said in part:
'sThe church still hears the ancient
call of God to separate from her
membership certain men for the min
istry, and all such must leave their
homes, forsake their former occupa-
lions and isolate themselves as reli-
gious leaders. This does not mean
the hermit life of Simeon Stylites,
the pillar saint not the monastic
ideals of the middle ages, but a nor
NAL life among their fellows, yet
aloof from money-making schemes,
high above their fellows in the realm
of thought, and most at home in the
secret places of the Most High.
There must be a separation from
all secular business; for the sacred
affairs should not be profaned by the
smell Of the soil, the dust of the
shop, or the din of the market, and
from every manual toll that offers
wages, clerical, professional, or po-
litical Office that pays salary, and fl
nancial speculation that pays divi-
dends he should be divorced, for the
Lord ordained that they which pro-
claim the Gospel should live of the

1T may be legal for minister to
speculate, but not expedient; for get
rich-Quick' schemes do not contrib
ute to his pulpit power, evangelistic
fervor, or pastoral sympathy, and
there are many and recent records of
the specializing parson losing his
money, reputation and sometimes
his Office. The preacher who is temp
ted to add to his salary the income
of some business or the returns from
some speculation should either ques-
ton his call to preach or else quit
trying to keep pace with the high
living of his rich parishioners."

BIG MIx-UP AT CONVENTION
Voting While Delegate Himself
Is Present.

A southern black-county convention
was in progress, and the hall was
crowded. Among rows upon rows of
the dusky sons of toll an occasional
white delegate stood out like flake

One by one the delegates answered

vote, and it's yea"
Don you listen to his talk, Mr..
Cheerman. De alternate's got de say

Omaha and the Grade Crossings.

One detail Of our municipal life to which the
visiting expert on city planning and management
has called attention is the unprotected grade
crossing. This. however, will hardly be credited
to him as an original discovery; others have noted
and deplored the fact for To- these many years.
From time to time The Bee has raised protest
against the unprotected grade crossing, and still
is persistent in its efforts to secure relief that is
all too slow in coming. No town in Nebraska
has been so neglected, either by its own authori-
ties or by the railroads, as has Omaha. In no
other community in the state will be found such
crossings as those over the Belt Line or the Elk
horn tracks in the north and west parts of the
city. For years these have stood without gates,
fagmen, or similar devices to secure safety, and
the public has and yet uses them at its peril,
with now and then fatality to denote the neg
ligence of some one. Nor does much OF consola-
ton flow from the fact that viaducts long ago
ordered to carry roadways over dangerous cross
ings have been delayed by reason of the inter-
vention OF our city planning board, figuring with
the railroad involved to secure something In lieu
Of the bridge the courts said must be built No
matter from whence comes the impetus, the city
will be the gamer when the dangerous grade
crossing is eliminated.
