 CLUB WILL MEET
 TOMORROW NIGHT
Much Interest Evidenced in Plan to Increase Membership-To Organ
 ize Home Guard

The meeting of the Jefferson Rifle club, which has been called for o'clock to- morrow night at the Chamber of Con- merce, is attracting much local interest and a large attendance, both of old mem- bers and new members who are interested in the project, is expected. The Jeffer- son Rifle club was organized several years ago and has had very successful career. A number of the prominent officers and men in the local militia have been active
 in the work of the club, as well as many local citizens who were interested in shooting practice.
 The executive committee of the club consists of J. T. Mabry, captain; M. H. Jordan, Lucien c. Brown and A. De- Funiak It is urged that local citizens who are interested in the formation of a stronger club and in the provision to form home guard for the protection of tho community during the absence of the militia, attend the meeting tomorrow night. One of the features of the club is to be target practice at the rifle range and, through the cooperation of the fed eral government, rifles and ammunition are to be provided without any duty de- volving upon the members to respond to the call in case the militia should be called out.

SHIPPING BILL TO BE.
 PRESSED TO VOTE
Democrats Will Get Action on Meas ure Even if It Takes All
 Summer

Washington, July 6.--The govern ment shipping bill probably will be pressed to a vote in the Senate at this session, even if it is necessary 70 keep Congress here all summer.
 This was evident today following last nights caucus of Senate democrats. \ majority of them insisted that action be taken on the bill, despite strong hints from the republicans that any move to that end would mee' With determined opposition. The latter had proposed that if action be postponed until the next session they would agrea to fix a date for the vote.
 Final decision of the democrats. how ever. was deferred until tomorrow night, when they caucus again. Mean time the Senate commerce committee probably will amend the bill in order to satisfy several Senate democrats.
 Republican senators who arc plan- ming to unify the shipping bill pro- posed conference for fight today because of failure of the democrats to take definite action at the caucus.

ONE-TH|RD OF MEN
 IN GUARD MAY 60.
Those Having Dependents to
 Be Released
NEW ORDER ISSUED
This Will Apply to Troops Now on the Border as We'll as Those in State Camps-This Move Made Fossil
 ble by Change in Situation

Washington, July 6.-All army de- partmental commanders have been au- thorized by Secretary Baker to dis charge enlisted men of the National Guard in the federal service who have one or more dependent relatives.
 Orders to the departmental command CTS. sent yesterday and made public to- day. give them full power to consider applications and direct that discharges be granted where the circumstances warrant. They also provide that re- cruiting and mastering officers shall be instructed not to accept recruits with families dependent upon them for support
 Secretary Baker and his advisers at the war department decided that this step was imperative to meet appeals which have been flooding the depart msnt on behalf of thousands of guards men whose families have been left destitute by the Presidents call upon the state force for service on the Mex ican border
 Officials estimated today that fully one-third of all the men in the Ma tional Guard might be affected by the order, which applies to troops now on the border as well as those waiting to move
 Vain efforts were made to attach to the resolution authorizing the Presi- dent to draft the guardsmen into the federal service provision for relief of 1 with dependents Later the House passed a bill appropriating $2,o00,O 900 for relief purposes, but no action has been taken on it by the Senate and it probably would not have been passed there even if the new order had no. been issued by Secretary Baker.

A QUEER PHENOMENON.

One of the most peculiar features about men and women who eke out an existence in acting before the cine photographic camera, is their ages. This is particularly noticeable about the male contingent of movie players. The ladies, of course, through ade- quate preparedness, can always leave the question of age an unsolvable problem.
 But as to the actors and near-actors, all of whom are strapping fellows, who would make excellent truck driv- CTS or farm hands. if they were in- clined to work, their photographs readily indicate their ages, yet if one is to believe the biographical matter that accompanies all photo movie male stars are about 21 years of age, col lege graduates and trained athletes
 The female of the species are usual ly sweet IS, and have their mothers always in attendance while at the studios, in order that no contrary influence might enter their young lives.
 In fact, while the general trend of the motion picture industry is going forward. the ages of the actors and actresses are patently going back wards. Selah!

Gregory Says He Is Not T Likely to Go on Bench

Washington, July s.--On leaving the White House after conference with the President today Attorney General Greg ory said he thought there was little like lihood that he would be nominated to succeed Charles E. Hughes on the su- preme court bench.
 There are a number of cases now pending for re-argument before the su, preme court that would be disqualified from hearing on account of my connec- ton with them,'' he said. and Justice McReynolds also would be disqualified in sitting in several cases. Hence that IS one of several good reasons why l think my appointment would be bad one.

CIVILIZATIONS CHILD"

CIVILIZATIONS CHILD"
 Miss Anna Lehr and William H. Thompson are featured in "Civiliza- tion's Child" five-part Tnce-Triangle feature, at the Trianon theatre today. This is a very dramatic picture of young Jewish girl, whose parents are massacred In Russia and who emigrates to America, where she falls under the influence of a political boss. She goes through the melting pot of the modern economic battle, in which virtue is de- stroyed and vice apparently reigns triumphant until, in desperation, she kills her seducer and then expiates her sin in-death. This is picture which portrays the truth of certain phases of life in every large American city.
