Battle Cry of Peace
at Odeon Theater
During This Week

The intention OF the picture Is to

Stuart Blakston. author of the
scenario for THE Battle Cry Of
Peace" which opens n weeks en-

the keynote OF the whole situation.

truth In a characteristic way that
cannot fail of appreciation. II is not

our Congressman a vote for more ap-
propriations for our army, and more

Q pretty thought to feel that the ad-
vocates OF pearce are not exercising
their very best Judgment in their ma
tionwide campaign for such; bur J.
Stuart Blackston, somehow. has
struck timely theme for his scenario
that brings home almost too wildly
the total inadequacy OF our prepared

be assured OF peace and plenty and

1t stirs within one that inevita BILE
spirit of patriotism that IS born within
one and while many may feel, per.

ednesy' are a bit overdrawn II In
stills a little germ OF thought that
will gradually assume proportions 81
magnitude, The photoplay OF the play
Is all that could be desired, and ths
general effect is calculated TO please
even the most exactiug.
Some idea OF the magnitude OF the
production may be CLEANED from the
fact that $4,000 National Guard troops

heaviest meal in the middle OF the

It is OF the utmost Importance to
teach him to chew his feed carefully
and thus to take plenty OF time at his
meals But since his tiny teeth can
only partly masticate his food, this
should be properly prepared for him.
Meat should be cut into small pieces,
vegetables either mashed or put
through the colander. and all the
cores skins and seeds should be re-
moved from fruits.
He should not be allowed 70 drink

Rae Eleanor Ball
Noted Violinist at
Lyric Theater

Miss Rae Eleanor Ball. the young
violinist who has made such an en-
yiable reputation before American
audiences, is an enthusiastic swimmer.
and, strange to say, attributes in a
great degree her skill on the violin
to her constant devotion to swimming.
Every day, during the summer months,
she spends at least an hour on the
beach of Lake Erie, at Cleveland, o..
where she has her summer home.
1T may sound foolish when / say
that a good violin player must be a
good swimmer" Miss Ball said recent
ly in an interview.
But don't forget this-that swim
ming exercises every muscle in the
body-and so does violin playing.
Think of the awful strain on the
muscles of the shoulder in violin play
ing. Saving wood or sweeping is a
joke compared with It. I know. be-
cause / have done all three. And the
arms. and fingers-well. II you don't
want to believe me, Just try 1t yourself,
some day. And then think how many.
many hours every day violinist must
spend standing erect on his feet. be-
fore audiences and in practicing.
so my best advice to young violin
player is. learn to swim. When you
can swim half a mile in what we
who live along Lake Erie consider a
fairly heavy sea, then you are almost
strong enough to star playing the
violin in deadly earnest
And II Is rumored about Cleveland
that, should the occasion ever arise.
Miss Ball could make her living giving
swimming lessons.
But If my audiences keep on be-
ing as kind to me as they have In the
past. l hardly think / will ever have to
try" Miss Ball laughed in answer to
this question.
Miss Ball Is appearing this week at
the Lyric.

 A bath should not be taken too near meal time. There is a normal attraction of the blood toward the stomach after eating; any interfer- euce with this and the attraction of the blood toward the surface of the body is apt to arrest digestion.

 l believe the standard of our public schools should be equal to any in AL aska.
 believe in public improvements on sane and business like plan. l do not believe in squandering monies. l believe in conducting the business of the city on the same conservative plan in which business men conduct their private affairs. Am opposed to any Civic Improvement plan, involv- ing the expenditure of half million dollars. Those conditions might exist forty years hence, but we are not ready yet nor is any city in Alaska
 believe in bringing the assessed valuation of Seward down to where it justly belongs. believe in tax levy sufficient to conduct the affairs of the town for the ensuing year-Our assessed valuation is too high.
 believe in maintaining an up-to- date Fire Department and paying the volunteers sufficiently to awaken a new and greater interest in the de- partment. Their efforts have not been fully appreciated.
 Water For Fire Protection.
 If the Council is aware of insuficl- ent water for fire protection it is up to them to arrange for it, and if necessary, install an auxiliary salt water pumping station, an emergency station. I believe that all Federal property enjoying the protection of the police and fire departments should bear their share of the burden and up keep of these departments, and with the proper cooperation with the Federal Commission this may be obtained.
 believe in employing the Oldtimers on all city work so far as is consist ent, and paying not less than-5O cents per hour therefor.
