is RELIC OF PAGAN TIMES
In Brittany There Exists Huge Black
Stone Image Of Woman That
10 Very Old.

One Of the most curious relics Of
paganism remaining in a Christian
country Is the gigantic black stone
figure Of a woman which is TO be seen
IN q forest OF the district Of Morbi-
han in Brittany.
II Is known as the black Venus"
but probably dates far back OF the
time when the Greeks and Romans
worshiped that goddess. Antiquaries
assert that this figure belongs to the
age of the serpent worshipers. one Of
whose subterranean temples is in the
neighborhood. This would make the
figure far older than the Christian era.
The statue is that Of huge, un-
couth woman, with a sullen, angry
countenance, her form enveloped in
loose mantle. The superstitious
Bretons have always worshiped the
figure, asserting that it has power
over the weather and the crops. II
the idol is neglected they declare that
the grain dies on the ear. and If the
anger OF the black woman" over Nor.
bihan.
Twice the stone was cast into the
sea by pious folk, who hoped thereby
TO put an end to this idolatry, and
twice the peasants dragged it back and
set II up in its old place.
Some two hundred years ago Count
Pierre de Lannon, on whose estate the
figure stood, in order to save the
statue from both friends and enemies,
dragged it by forty yoke of oxen to
his own chateau and set it up in the
courtyard. He cut an inscription on
the base Of the pedestal, declaring the
figure to be a Venus carved by Cae.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS
At The Colonial.

Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne
in MAN and His Soul. john Con
cience is born. and it is fore-ordained
that he is to be a creature of con.
science.A When the child grows to
manhood he holds a chair of economics
in a great university. In delivering
the exhortation to the graduating
class he tells the young men of some
of the shameful conditions wealthy
employers are imposing upon the poor
and helpless class. He bids them go
forth with conscience to guide THEN
careers, and they will be successful
in the real sense. John is discharged
by the wealthy benefactors of the in
stitutiOn for his rash utterances.
Stephen Might, whose son, Stephen
Might, Jr., is among the students, tells
John he will give him good position
in business, where the question Of
conscience will never be raised.
John however. decides to try in other
fields on his own account, but fails.
He happen to see girl who is about
to emo her life by plunging into the
river. He dissuades her and takes her
to his mother. She tells how she fail
ed in every good effort, and decided on
death rather than a life of shame.
Inspired with new hope, John goes
to Stephen Might and obtains po-
sition for himself and the girl He
rises in position with this concern,
and love affair develops between
John and the girl. who is Mary
Knowles. Stephen Might. Jr., also
falls in love with Mary. At a time
when rival firm is trying 10 bride
John to divulge a secret that will
prove the undongsof Might and Com
pany, he comes upon Mary in the arms
of Stephen, and thinks she has accept
ed him. His mistake causes him to
throw off conscience, and begin grind
ing, resoluts uncompromising drive
for wealth. In Chicago John Con
science takes the name of John Power,
where he succeeds in gaining control
of great manufacturing interests.
He runs his employees with an iron
hand, without soul or heart. Francis
Bushman and Beverly Bayne are both
extremely pleasing in this splendid

Coniraband Bumbershoot.

Come to think of it now, did you
ever see United States Marine in
uniform carrying an umbrella?
Residents of Washington Street
Brooklyn. N Y, caught glimpse of
Marine recruit carrying a contra
band bumbershoot" during rain
storm recently, but the glimpse was
nothing more than that.
At the very outset of the recruits
journey two older Marines met him,
took the umbrella away from him and
broke it up before his Mortified gaze,
paying not the slightest heed to his
plea of having purchased the thing but
ten minutes before. Then the older
Marines gave the recruit a severe lee
ture on military proprieties and left
him alone to ponder.
There is no service regulation to
prevent the carrying of umbrellas by
uniformed men, but there is an IN
written law of the Marine Corps which
Classics the umbrella as a piece of
feminine finery, and its use is taboo
with older heads who know the ropes.

at The Lyric.

An L. K-O comedy, Caught on
Skyscraper. will be shown tonight at
the Lyric.-Mr Rawsberry knew that
he shouldn't flrt but he disregarded
his conscience admonitions and wrote
a poetic note to lady in the park.
He requested a stranger to deliver it,
but the stranger happened to be the
fellow he lady was waiting for, and
instead he gave the note TO married
lady whose husband was sitting along
side. Husband read it and naturally
wished to know who was writing notes
TO his wife. He eventually found out
and told Mr.. Rawsberry that if he
valued his future happiness, we'll be-
ing or lis life itself he would never be
seen within talking distance of his wife
again Mr.. Rawsberry resolved hence
forth to let women alone. He even
went home to bed to avoid temptation.
An evil fate interviewed however, as
the lady and her husband unknowingly
lived across the hall in the same
hotel. The wife was a sleep walker
and walked into Mr. Rawsberry 5 room.
The husband came home and discov-
cred her and things locked black for
MIR. Rawsberry. The wife walked n
to the edge of a skyscraper and
traversed the psrapet seventeen stories
above the street.

LARGER SAVINGS DEPOSITS.
Made Possible by Important Amend.
ment 10 The Postal Savings
Act Just Approved.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the postoffice This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings Act
just approved by President Wilson. A
postal savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to 81 900 upon
which interest will be paid. Formerly
$500 was the maximum amount he
could have to his credit
This enlargement of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying TO
thousands of hepositors who have al
ready reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another feature
of the amendment that will avoid fur
thcr embarrassment to the public and
to postal officials is the doing away
with the limit on the amount that could
be accepted from depositor monthly
Under the old law only 500 could be
deposited in a calendar month.
The amendment abolishes this re-
striction. While the Postal Savings
System has already proved a signal
success, as is shown by the fact that
more than half a million depoitors have
over eighty million dollars standing to
their credit, still it has fallen short Of
meeting the full demands of the pub
lie because of the restrictions which
have now been eliminated. Postmas-
ter General Burleson and Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Dockery have
been tireless in their efforts to secure
modification of the limitations and
the new liberalizing legislation is par
tcularly gratifying to them.
