HELEN HOLMES IN THE
MANAGER OF THE b. & A.
Directed by MCGOWAN: Pastime Tues
day and wednesday.

DAY anu WEDNESDAY,
Life on the rails, with a punchy,
thrilling plot and tense suspense is
presented in ''The Manager OF the B.
& A." the newest Of the big motion
picture dramas featuring daring Helen
Holmes.
This picture, from the studios Of
the Signal Film Corporation, and pre-
sented by the Mutual Film Corpora
ton, is typical of the strenuous works
of the director, ]. P. MCGOWAN, known
to world wide fame as the maker of
thrill dramas.
In "The Manager Of the B. & A."
Miss Holmes has the attractive and
interesting role of Constance Emory,
the daughter of an aristocratic father
who loses his position as manager Of
the "B. & A" because Of his leisurely
and aristocratic viewpoint in life,
which leads him more regularly TO the
golf links than to the office.
The story has timely element in ii
in view of its dealing with a rail strike
in terms of vigorous INSTALLATION. OF
course there is strenuous rivalry
over the beautiful girl, Constance
Emory. There are newspaper compli-
cations. fights, explosions and deeds
of daring and violence without end.
Leo Maloney, who will be remem-
bered for his virile work in 1.-THE
Girl and the Game" and for his share

"Steal the Flag"

"Steal the flag is a game that will
interest the girls as well as the boys.
This game is played as follows:
\ gathering of boys is divided into
two groups, or armies, called blue and
gray, each army consisting of an even
number of boys. There are two flags
between the two armies, and a boy is
placed on each side to guard the flag.
The object of this game is to try to
seize the enemy's flag. The flag must
be placed so that the enemy can easily
seize the flag.
\ line is made to divide the two
armies. IT one Of the boys from the
blue army crosses the line and il boy
of the gray army tags him before he
has time to seize the flag he is taken
prisoner.
Then the blue decide as to which of
the boys should rescue the prisoner.
and if the boy succeeds in rescuing the
prisoner and the encmy's flag his side
wins. In order to rescue a prisoner
the boy has to touch him.

something to adore. They raised a fund
among them to procure a marble bust

Mr.. and Mrs. Singleton did not quite

to be proud Of it or ashamed of it.
Bessie's associates envied her, having
her bust set up in the engine house

WERE was a fire engine house
near Mr.. Singleton's city resi-
dence, and it SO happened
that the place was an object
OF curiosity to his little daughter

ring of the gong announcing a fire she
would run to the engine house to see

She was six years old when this adj
miration for fire apparatus, horses and
men first developed itself, and very
soon she was noticed by the tiremen

One day one Of them offered to show
her the premises. She accepted the in
vitation and inspected everything with
eyes a, big as saucers. When b de-

at home there.
And she did. She went in and out at
her own sweet will, climbed up on the

she was carried to the fire. There was
little to do in quenching the flames,
and since the ladders We're not needed
she was permitted to remain perched
high, al object of interest to a gaping
crowd. On the return she was put
down ct her home and lectured by her
mother.
But from playing in an engine house
she had got a taste for going to a fire.
and from that time forward all efforts
to keep her away from the former
failed. One day when the leDartmant

WOmen's Ways and Fancies
THE FAMILY BUDGET.
The Wisdom Of Settling on a Family
Financial Proaram,


The young married man must, to be
successful, outline some sort of tinan-
cial program. He must, after careful
consideration, decide upon the family
budget. Next to the budget, or in most
cases of even greater Importance, is
protection. 1t is the sacred duty. of
every married man to provide this pro-
lection. Should one emain lax and
improvidential ono may have cause to
regret.
Therefore when one has selected the
wife. or perhaps ono has already done
so, it is the duty to the fam
lily budget, and the first and most i'm
lection fund-life insurance.
No better confederation of this argu-
mcnt Il be found than the recent
statement of President Woodrow VIII
son:
eff a man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide for
those dependent upon himself, then he
has not opened his eyes to any concep-
ton of human life"
Life insurance is the greatest insti-
tuition for systematic saving there is,
and it has more adherents by several
millions than the savings banks, which
have 100000 depositors. It is not
antagonistic but supplementary to 9th.
CIR forms of saving. But as an institu-
ton it encourages systematic thrift
more than any other form.
A dcpOsitor in Il savings bank makes
4 deposit and may intend to make
more. But a man taking a life insur-
ance policy makes q definite financial
plan for years ahead. if not for life.
He may forget to make his deposit in
the savings bank next year. but the
man who takes out the life insurance
will be reminded Of his obligation.
The statistics would startle one if in
formed Of the number of young men
in the United States who have re.
received their first training in saving
through a life insurance policy.
