WAR ON DISEASE

w An YIN OlOEAOE
Of the hundreds of thousands of
men killed in war, we read with
amazement, yet one hundred people
have died of disease for every
one killed in the war. If you were go
ing to war your government would take
every precaution and spare no expense
to save your life. The slight infrnnity
which troubles you but a little now,
may ultimately cause your death. Are
you not as much interested in yourself
as the government is in its soldiers?
Better consult a specialist before it is
too late A little treatment now viii
be as effective as long time treatment
later on. The expense viii be cor
respondingIy less. Is It not to your ad-
vantage to go at once?

To do the stunt Mr. Chatterton, who
essays the role of Lieutenant Hope, u

jections of directors and managers
who had employed Al Thompson, q
professional daredevil, to make the
mad ride, and mad ride it was.
The scene was taken on the road be-

at a spot where bridge had actually

falsity of our assumed national safety"
In the picture production of ''The
Secret of the Submarine one chapter
of which will be shown weekly at the
Hays New Opera House, the leading
roles will be taken by Thomas Chatter
ton and Juanita Hansen.
Through the cooperation of the Off
GERS at the government naval base at
San Pedro some wonderfully realistic
submarine effects have been obtained,
the mysterious undersea craft being
brought right up to the gaze of the
audience and made to go through the
death-deaiing stunts for which they are

Makeup IS So Realistic That Sailors

When William Tedmarsh, the ia
nous character actor, stepped onto the
pier of the United States naval base at
San Pedro he was taken into custody
by sentry and hustled before the com
handing officer without being given
chance to explain his identity.
He was ''made up" as Satsuma, the
japanese spy, in ''The Secret of the
Submarine, - the big film novel, one
chapter of which is shown weekly at
the Hays New Opera House. Mr. Ted
marsh eventually explained he meant
no harm and was promptly released
with the admonition from the com
nander to go "easy" while masquerad-
ing as a Jap.
In these days Of national uncertainty
especial precautions are taken to fore
stall anyone prying into the details Of
equipment and personnel of our regular
forces. Mr.. Tedmarsh arrived at the
pier ahead of the other members of
the company and thought to while
away the time by examining some
ordinance being mounted on the U. S.
S. Farragut.

out the kind of justice idealists have
looked forward to; justice that goes
beyond musty law books and is based
on knowledge of human weaknesses
and desires.
SteIk has studied the harm done
by professional social workers who
blunder' along trying to regulate hui
man lives by the cold, harsh theories
of the social training schools. One
such case is now pending before him.
Mrs. Caroline PUzian had her hus-
band up before Judge Stelk. Hubby
had proven a yellow bird and flown
away to leave his wife and three
children, 5 years, 4 years and g
months, respectively, at the mercy
of landlord who finally just as cold
weather descended on us threw the
little family out into the street.
The little mother found herself and
children at the beginning of winter
with no shelter. Meanwhile husband
was keeping far away, content with
his beer.
Then came one Frank Payza, an
old family friend. Payza knew of the
struggles of the woman. He himself
was a bachelor, tired of rooming
houses and restaurant eating. He
proposed that he provide shelter and
food for the family with the under
standing that he was to board there.
This was done.
For the first time since the children
came Mrs. PUZian knew content and
the comfort of home and enough
to eat. Payza was found of the chill
dren. He brought home his entire
pay. He clothed, fed and housed
Puzian's children and Puzian's wife.
But the shadow of Professional
Social Service Reform cast it's
shadow. over the home. Katherine

Puzian had been dragged when the
police finally found him. She testi-
fed against Mrs. Puzian and an
nounced that she would secure war
rants against Mrs. Puzian for civ
ing with Payza.''. .
Something about the heIplessness
of Mrs. Puzian before the attack
made on her by the social worker
interested Judge Stelk. He probed
depp enough to uncover the real
facts. Then he looked long and
steadily at Katherine Moore.
There's play in town you should
see, Miss Moore" he said finally
"The name of it is Intolerance A
good title for a good play. It would
do you a great deal of good. It shows
the methods of professional social
workers and TefOTmers. It reveals
how you people do damage to the
lives of others by your ,inexperience,
your interference and your intoler->
ance.
"This man Payza has shown more
real Christian charity in the few
weeks he has cared for this woman
and her children than you and all of
your organized armies of social
workers, charity workers and re-
formers have shown in your entire
existence.
"And you as the representative of
