TRIANGLE FILMS
TOMORROW NIGHT

A play of considerable educational
value as well as of thrilling interest
is "The Martyrs of the Alamo" Jt
is a historical drama telling how in
the early days the courageous but
much outnumbered defenders Of the
Alamo were slaughtered and how other
Americans avenged their death by de-
feating the Mexicans and winning the
independence of Texas. Some of the
historical characters that appear in
this stirring border drama are: Silent
Smith (Sam DeGrasse); Santa Ana
(Walter Long,; Sam Houston (Tom
wilson,; David Crockett CA. d. Sears)
and James Bowie (Alfred Paget). Sam
DeGrasse is the cool, crafty scout to
the life. He is the leading light in the
defense of the Alamo, and when Its
fall is imminent, he is chosen to take
the hazardous trip through the innu-
merable Mexicans besieging the place.
After warning Houston, DeGrasse Is
shown deceiving Santa Ana, the Mexi-
can dictator, by a well-feigned imita-
tion of a deaf and dumb man. His
information leads to successful
attack on Santa Ana's forces by the
Americans under Houston. Walter
Long gives realistic portrayal of the
cruel, vain, but cowardly dictator. The
tragedy of the fall and massacre Of
the Alamo defenders is Eghtened py
love affair between Silent Smith and
an old soldiers daughter (Juanita
Hanson).

DEATH TOLL INCREASED,

Harrisburg Pa" Safety first plays
no small part in the complex problem of
the cost of modern living. according to
DIR. John Price Jackson, State commits
sioner of labor and industry.
THE fewer workers are injured and
killed the less cost the people will have
to bear. The greater the number of
safety devices, the fewer accidents will
happen.
Every step toward greater safety in
the industries aids in preventing higher
cost of living" said Commissioner Jack
son. industrial safety is of almost as
vital Importance to the prosperity of the
general public as it is to the employers
and employees. Every injury received by a
worker in Pennsylvania industries,
whether resulting i'll disability or death,
creates a cost that must be paid by the
people of Pennsylvania.
This has always been true Before
the State workmens compensation act
became effective these costs, both for
medical attention to the injured worker
and for the support OF his family after
his death or during the period of dis
ability, were paid either through CHART
able organizations, through costly court
litigations for damages, or by the family
of the injured worker, often entailns
hardship and want. In any event, the
cost was there, ultimately to be paid by
the whole people
DIR. Jackson made these observations
in commenting on the toll OF health and
life taken in September, totalling 24j
workers killed and 2l,949 others injured
These figures are above the average for
the year. The first nine months OF 19lC
have resulted in an average OF 203 killed
each month and 20,717 injured, in spite
of all cautious as to safety first
The daily average of accidents in Sep
tcmber was SSS. The total for the yeal
is lSS,27S, up to September 80, and 1927
either killed outright or dying from ac
cidents.
/ These casualties constitute a tremen
/ dous and largely preventable economic
drain on the people of Pennsylvania.

that the value, less depreciation, is $1S,-
OIL $3.50. Taking account of leases, the
present value is put at 81, 15+, ,99S.

"SYSTENI" EXPERTS, 'TENTION

Cleveland The attention OF System
experts is called to the favoritism and
the lack of efficiency on the part of the
Pennsylvania railroad, which the federal
grand jury has uncovered. The COM
pany is charged with granting conces-
sions to the Cambria Steel company by
permitting freight cars to stand in the
steel plants yards from 10 to 35 days
without collecting demurrage. Under
the law the railroad company should
collect 81 per day demurrage for every
car held longer than rs hours.

Owing to the departure Of John Let son for Los Angeles. C. F. Yoager. for several months connected with the Tucson Citizen and more lately in Phoenix. has arrived in Bisbee and has taken charge of the business of flee of the Arizona-Risbee Copper Co. in the Maze Building.
 Yeager declares that interest in Ari- zOna-Bisbee is increasing every day. He predicts that Bisbee will soon be the seat of the biggest copper boom in the state of Arizona.
 The people of the Warren District have become used to a very stable condition of affairs. It might be said they are, in a measure moribund. They already have the greatest mines in the southwest and have little curi- osity in what might lie at their doors | think the result of our promotion and our subsequent development will prove to them that the camp is even larger. than most of them would be lieve."

On the Day After
 Christmas

~ CR word Santa Claus Is cor
 fuption of the Dutch San Me VI OlaS. and the story of the
 original saint from whom the name and the custom come Is told in the Encyclopedia Britannica as fol- lows: "St. Nicholas. bishop of Myra. iu Lycia. a saint h0norel by the Greeks and the Latins on Dee. 6.
 His cult is as celebrated as his his tory is obscure. All the accounts that have come down tO us are of q purely legendary character. and it Is iInpossi- ble to find any single incident confirm ed historically.
 '"rhe main facts of his life are usual " given as follows: He was bishop of Mvra at the time of the Emperor bio cletian. was perSecuted. tortured for the faith and kept in pIisOn until the more tolerant reign of Constantine and was present at the council of Nicaea.
 Tt should be observed that this last circumstance Is ignored by all histo- rlan= and that St. AthanasiuS. who Allth all lllt HOldDlt hL lbt. period, never mentions Nicholas. bish- Op of Myra. The oldest known monu- ment of the cult of St. Nicholas seems to be the Church of Sts. Priscus and Nicholas built at ConstantinOple by the Emperor Justinian. In the west the name of St Nicholas appears in the ninth century records of the mar tyrs, and churches dedicated to him are to be found at the beginning of the eleventh century. It is more especial ". however. from the time of the re moval of his body to Bari. in Apulla. that his cult became popular.
 'The inhabitants of Bari organized an expedition, seized his remains by means of a ruse and transported them to Bari. where they were received In triumph on the 9th of May. i0SI. and where the foundations were laid for q new basilica in his honor. This was the origin of famous and still popu- lar pilgrimage. There are nearly 400 churches in England dedicated to St. Nicholas. He is the patron saint of Russia. the special protector of chil- dren, scholars, merchants and sailors.
 In art St. Nicholas Is represented with various attributes. being most commonly depicted with three chill (lren standing in tub by his side. Of the various interpretations of this none is absolutely certain.
 "One explanation has been sought In fhe legend of St. Nicholas miraculously restoring to life three rich youths who had been murdered, cut up and con- cealed in a salting tub by a thievish innkeeper or butcher in whose house they lad taken lodging.
 "A legend of his surreptitious be- Stowal of dowries upon the three daughters Of an impoverished citizen who. unable to procure fit marriages for them, was about to sell them is said to have originated the old custom of giving presents in secret on the eve of St. Nicholas. subsequently trans ferred ;o Christmas day.
 ] Hence the association of Christmas with Santa Claus an American cor fuption of the Dutch form San Nico- Iaas.' the custom being brought to America by the early Dutch colonists."
