WOrSted Man Made
Hit In the Valley

Last Saturday night the large audi
torium at the Douglas county high
school building was packed to it's ut
most capacity, the attraction being
"The Worsted Man." given by the
Leisure Hour club of Carson Under
the auspices of the high school. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon
the young 1adies and the only man
who made up the cast. Nor are we
going to pick out the stars of the
performance, because those who took
minor parts handled their lines with
the ability of professionals.
The show was one of the best ever
staged here and those who took part
were loudly applauded by the appre-
ciative audience made up of Valley
people.
Should the Leisure Hour club ever
put on another show, they are assur-
ed of hearty welcome and a capac-

Costuming Is
True to the Times

A great deal of film comedy is
horse-play, but David W. Griffith in
''The Birth of Nation at the Grand
theater proves that quiet, refined
comedy is "a big laugh maker and
pleases better than the old style,
crude methods.
One of the best laughs in "The
Birth OF a Nation is the lovesick
sentry in the hospital scene gazing
at Elsie Stoneman. This particular
bit is of the "sure fire" order, for
never does an audience miss the rapt
devotion of the sentinel and the
naughty expression Of the young
lady rebuking him with a million
mils s-away look.
Paul lie Blanc is the name of the
young actor who has made the un-
expected hit in the part. He is New
Orleans Creole by birth and played
comedy ro'es with Nine. Bernhardt
before going cut to Los Angeles
where Mr. Griffith discovered him.
The costuming of the young soldier
is wonderfully accurate to the period
of 1904.
Miss Lillian Gish wears her cos
tures of civil war and reconstruc-
times that are heirlooms in her fam
lily. Through Grifith's skill all the
actors in the production are made to
appear as if to the manor born and
not awkwardly moving about In ha-
bilirents to which they are unaccus-
timed. "The Birth of IA Naticin' is
coming to the Grand for four per-
formances, starting Monday matinee

May Appoint Cadets
From Enlisted Men

Following is copy Of the act Of
congress approved May 4, 1916, which
empowers the president to appoint
cadets to the military academy from
the ranks: ... .-.
THAT the president is hereby
authorized to appoint cadets to the
United States military academy from
among enlisted nnen of the regular
army, between the ages Of 1o and y
years, who have served as enlisted
men not less than one year, to be

The above act, together with recent
act sof congress, doubling the num-
Der Of cadets at West Point, affords
an excellent opportunity for the en-
listed personnel of the army to Sc
cure an appointment to the military
academy, which will prove a great in
centive to the enlistment OF desirable
applicants
In the recent report Of the Inspector
general, who visited the San Fran
cisco recruiting district, the officers
in charge were congratulated on the
desirable applicants obtained in this
district, and on the spirit In which
they go about their work.
Recent acts of congress also double
the strength OF the aviation section
of the signal corps, which authorizes
the rating of enlisted men as av;ators.

Restricting Home Streets

Home streets should be sacred to
homes and they should be protected
from the invasion of all kinds of bust
ness. The home is the climax of urban
activity, and 1t should never be sacri-
feed to commerce or industry of any
character. A city wounds itself when
it harms home. And so there should
be regulations and ordinances to pro-
tect the homes against business. Bust
ness can take care of itself; the home
can't. A happy home, the most use
full and honorable thing in COM
munity, loses its high character If a
shop of some kind is stuck up along
side of it. Yes, 1t is necessary for a
man to make a living, but 1t is not
right to make other people unhappy
in doing it. We simply suggest that
there is ample room here for a salu-
tary regulation.-Ohio State Journal.

GREETING AN OLD PERIL

Chicago is great industrial center
and among other commodities, the
output includes a large number of
boy bandits. This is too bad for the
boy bandits and their victims But
the result right now concerns us less
than an alleged cause. An investi-
gator says the worst evil influence in
that direction is the bandit litera-
ture which makes the highwayman
something of hero, and leads many
ambitious youngsters to try to 60
and do likewise, This is refreshing
IL not instructive. Here lately other
reasons have been cited; the movies
were blamed, and cigarettes and the
gang habits of the boys not properly
directed by the Boy Scout movement.
But to one who was boy a good
while ago, 1t is interesting to note
that the old peril is still on the job,
and is still regarded, at least by some,
as the worst of all evils. How dear
to our heart are the scenes of our
childhood, and the old hay NOW in
which we read of the daring deeds of
the James boys, Wild Bill, Diamond
Dick and other Rough Characters.
And of course there were warnings
from the flocks and the teacher that
boys who trified with such literature
were likely to die on the gallows or
otherwise perish with their boots on,
If they didn't get sent to the peniten-
tiary to learn good trade. And yet,
among the boys Of that neighborhood
who maintained a circulating library
Of that sort, none has spent much
of his spare time in our leading jails
or prisons. Which is a memory with
out moral, for there is so much
good literature that 1t is foolish II
waste ones time on trash. But the
devilish influence of the bandit stor-
les is largely overestimated, and
worse stuff sometimes invades quite
reputable magazines. Also, the boy
who is disposed to go to the devil will
usually find his way without printed
rections.-Atchison Globe.
