NEWS 0F ENSLEY

The movement to prevent the pre- sentation of the art photoplay, "Pur- ity." at a local playhouse may result in the appointment of local board of picture show censors. It is stated that as many of the pictures are shown in Birmingham before coming to Ensley they could be censored in time for the local managers to can- eel such pictures that may be deemed objectionable It is not only inconven- tent, but expensive to the management of a picture house to have to reject a picture that has been contracted for without notice and the proposed local board might be the means of removing this inconvenience.
 The local managers state they are desirious of maintaining a high stan dard of film service for their, houses and give the wishes of their patrons every consideration. So far as Purity is concerned there are many who have witnessed the film and agree with MT. Barber that 1t is stupid" but other wise objectionable.
 At the meeting of Ensley lodge, Be- nevolent Protective Order of Elks, to be held tonight Tom Moxley, chair man of the minstrel committee, will make report on the progress of the entertainment It is understood that so far as the principals are concerned satisfactory progress has been made, but that there are still some vacancies in the chorus and other parts of the show.

DEVICE MAKES FOR COMFORT
No Longer Need Lazy Man Roll Out
From Warm Bed to Start Fire
in Furnace.

Nobody need run shivering to the
cellar in a house which has been
equipped with one of the new furnace
starters. The head of the house stays
in his warm bed and sets the furnace
to heating the house by merely press
ing a push button at his side. Or IL
he is given to oversleeping, his alarm
clock will perform the same service
for him, says an EXCHANGE. The APP
paratus for regulating the furnace con-
sists of a weight attached by ropes to
the damper and drafts, a light strip
of wood to hold the weight, two mag
nets, an armature and pulleys to les
sen the rope-frictiOn. The strip Of
wood which holds the weight is wide
at one end and pointed at the other.
The pointed end rests on heavy strip
of soft iron which moves on two tin
rails. When the push button in the
bedroom is pressed a circuit is closed.
and the two magnets draw the piece
of iron, or the armature, from under
the supporting strip Of wood, causing
the weight to fall down and pull open
the drafts. An alarm clock may be
used to take the place of the push but
ton. The clock can be set to complete
a circuit at certain hour and then
open the furnace drafts.

she had drawn forth a small gold

Tell me, lieutenant, by which road do

THANK you so much! You have

MADAME is welcome" he said, with
another low bow.
Smiling happily, Ethel left him. She
congratulated herself, both because she
had escaped detection and because
she had obtained the information that
was so vital to the French.
AS he watched her departure, the
