SARAH BFRNHARDT
AT L. & S. TONIGHT

Nine. Sarah Bernhard has, beyond
reasonable question, been seen for the
last time upon the American stage.
in other days this fact would have
portent of Il greater loss to her le-
sion of admirers than now-for the
moving picture has entered to per-
petuate the glories of Bernhardt's art.
The cables have told how the IA
nous tragedienne was forced to alb
luptly close her theatre in Paris,
while she was appearing in Jeanne
Dore." to undergo the perils of sur
gical operation. When she was dis
charged one of her lower limbs had
been amputated and her resource to
an artificial support was undertaken.
Great as she has ever been, she has
found the substitute an unconquerable
deterrent to the complete return of
her stage usefulness. She had pre-
viously been able tc cunningly initiate
lameness, but she has found it far
more difficult to impersonate perfect
locomotion upon an artificial support.
During her last trip to America,
when she was going the rounds of the
vaudeville theatres. her lameness was
then, noticeable: she was continually
supporting herself upon the back of
a chair, or leaned heavily against some
article of furniture whenever she was
upon her feet.
Her expressions of emotion were
then confined principally to panto-
mime. to facial delineations or to eX-
planatory shrugs of the Bernhardt
shoulders. Little matter whether one
could understand the language she
spoke on any of her tours of America
there was the wonderful gift of pan
tomime to tell the story and express
the extremes of her emotion.
The camera has translated the Bern
Eardt facial expressions at close range.
In the score of scenes in which the |
sublime tragedienne is concerned there
is not an expression lost; not glance
Cf the Bernhardt eye has escaped the
camera. From the heights of joy to
the depths of Jeanne Dore's agonizing
grief the Bernhardt command of the
art Cf pantomime reflects better than
most actresses could speak in words,
he changing emotion as it unfolds.

Posed as Ad Agent.

New York, April 26.-The docu-
ments seized by federal agents when
they raided the office of Wolf Won
lyle gained new Importance today,
through an announcement that among
Them was a German code book. This
code, it is said, unlocked valuable in
formation, since many of the Won lyle
papers are in cipher.
Evidence received by the federal
grand jury investigating the alleged
plot to destroy the Welland canal
convinced the United States district
attorney that the government can le-
gally deny the demand of the German
ambassador for the return of these
,rapers.
Arthur A. Hassell, a witness, yes.
terday declared that when Won Iglt
leased his office here on June "a
1915, he made affidavit that the rooms
were to be used by his "an an ad
yertising agent and for no other pur
pose"
This evidence, the federal attorne.

OVERPLAYED ADS ARE
DISHONEST. L. S. RULES

Washington, April 26.-In defining
more clearly than ever before what
constitutes dihonest advertising
through the mails, the supreme court
held in effect that advertisers, even
though they give purchasers value re-
oeived for their money, are guilty of
fraud if by exaggerated advertising
propaganda they have led clients to
expect more.
Officials declare the decision will
pave the way to scores Of prosecutions
and make ppossible the enforcement of
a much more stringent federal super
vision of mail advertising
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice McKenna, reversing the district
court in Southern Florida, which
quashed an indictment against Off
cials of the new South Farm and
Home Company.
The Indictment charged unlawful
use of the mails in selling 1O-acre
farms.
The Florida court held that if a
purchaser received his moneys worth
exaggerated propaganda was not
fraud.
Justice McKenna took the position
that it was an offense if the article
sold did not serve the purpose repre-
sented, no matter what the value might
be.

thousand kilograms protesting against
action which might mean war with
Germany are pouring in on Senators
Sherman and Lewis o. Illinois.
Although signed b. individuals in

Dangers of Desert
Must Be Recalled

! With the coming of warmer wealth
er the fact should be brought to pub
lie attention that the person who ven
lures on the desert that surrounds
the valley without knowing his road
and without making ample prepara-
ton takes his life in his hands.
! So far as the roads in the valley
and the road leading to San Diego
are concerned, one can travel them
with the same disregard to water that
! he could anywhere, for there are am
pie facilities for taking care of the
travellers. But the Yuma road, either
by way of the sandhills or Mammoth
Wash, the road to Coachella valley and
several other roads not well i'm
proved leading onto the desert, are
treacherous in the extreme, and every
esident should make this truth known
to any person starting to cross any
rart of the desert.
The Yuma road and the Mecca road
will in time become main highways
and the traveller can hardly go amiss,
but for the present the dangers of
these roads are great. and especially
IN hot weather death turks along the
trails.
Hundreds of lives were lost on this
desert before it was reclaimed and,
while life has been made absolutely
secure where the irrigation water
reaches, it should never be forgotten
that outside of this area the danger
is just as great as it was before the
reclamation work vas begun here.
Rescue Five Men.
Holtvlle Tribune: It is feared the
deadly desert may have laid its hand
On more victims.
At o'clock today James Suffaker,
who lives in No. 7 district, about S1a
miles from the city, telephoned Earl

that five others On the Yuma road
some distance out were in terrible
condition.

The man who came said he had been
walking since s o'clock this morning,
but as he was nearly exhausted and
as Mr.. Huffaker started at once to
summon assistance, he secured no fur
ther information. In conversation By
phone with Mr.. Chambers, from
where Mr.. Chambers phoned, it was
learned that the suffering men were
evidently some distance out from the
fact that the man who came in had
leen on the road for six hours. How
ever, he was so nearly exhausted that
he probably covered but compara-
tiverly short distance in that time. 1t |

CULTURE OF HARDY MANUALS
By LIMA P. ROSE.

Seeds of hardy annuals should be sown early. in shallow boxes or pots and placed in warm window. or hotbed. A second sowing ought to be made from two to four weeks after for succession, as well as to pro vide against failure the first time.
 The most convenient receptacle for seed is a shallow box from two to three inches deep and of any con venent size.
 The best soil for all of the smaller kinds is very fire, rich, sandy loam. The very best soil is that taken from old hotbeds, or from old pasture land, piled up in sods and allowed to rot for two or three years and then mixed with sand and little old stable ma nure
 Give the tiny 7,ants plenty of air and moisture. yet rot too much water. or they will damp off" Get pots two inches or more in diameter and plant the young seedlings along the edges of the pots. so that as soon as the ground is warm enough they can be easily turned out and planted singly. as by that time trey will have good roots.
 Do not cover seeds too deeply. This is a common and disastrous mistake.

WINDOW BOXES

If there are some windows about the house where you would like to have some plants growing. and no pro- visions have been made for boxes for them, don't forego the pleasure be- cause 1t seems to be late in the sea son.
 Use Goleus instead of towering plants. 4 row of the yellow variety about the outside of the box with scar let in the center. will make your win dow brilliant with color, and as these plants are of rapid growth you will not have to wait long for results.
 They will often be found more sat isfaetorY than Towering plants, be- cause their richly eelored foliage will take the place of flowers, and it will be in evidence at all times; while few Towering plants will afford constant show of color
 The gray eentaurea and the orange yellow pyrethrum fgolden feather) can be used with the scarlet and vel low varieties of coleus, with fine ef- feet.
 Don't be sparing of water on your window boxes Ninety-nine cases of failure out of hundred result from q lack of sufficient water.
 Being exposed to the air on all sides, evaporation takes place very rapidly. Apply water by the pailful instead of the bowlful, and there need be no failure to grow just as good plants in the window box as in the garden beds.

The ground about the barn and other feed and stock buildings. which for convenience are located near the dwelling, may. and should be, as neat and clean as the home grounds proper. This k both good farm management and mark of good taste and char aeter on the part Of the farmer.
