ANOTHER KICK

A young man writes that it is not only hats that annoy the movies but the fellow who beats time with the music on the back of the seat ahead of him. This sufferer, who can be compared favorably with a war scared Belgian, says: Deliver me from the fellow who uses the back of my seat for drum.''

"THE CLARION,

A newspaper play and scathing at tack on the patent medicine industry represents the chief factors of "The Clarion,'' picture based on the novel of Samuel Hopkins Adams, produced by the Equitable company. with Car lyle Blackwell in the leading role. Of course much of the book has been left out, but enough of the dramatic values have been retained to make a thoroughly enjoyable five-reel picture. Carlyle Blackwell is ever the graceful juvenile and his performance in 'The Clarion" marks a further advancement in his art. '"The Clarion remains at the Trianon theatre again today.

 Hazel Dawn, i'll "The Saleslady," continues to please the patrons of the Strand theatre. In this five-part Famous Players-Paramount offering, Miss Dawn returns to her "fiddling," and the musical comedy stage (only in the movies). It will be remem- bered that Miss Dawn made her bow to fame as the prima donna of the Pink Lady"
 In the "Saleslady'' Miss Dawn shows a much improved style of acting especially in the emotional scenes. Irving Cummings and Clarence Handysdes are excellent in the lead ing male roles, opposite Miss Dawn.

 While "The Cheat has not the moral significance of 'The Birth of a Nation nor it's historical interest, it has more technical and histrionic value, as it portrays the highest de- Yelopment of both thus far produced before the camera.

CHAIN OF AVIATION
 RELAYS FROM THE
 BORDER ID FRONT
Enables Pliers to Travel Light-PerfOrm Messen- ger Service, Mails and
 Emergency Supplies

Field Headquarters, American Fu- nitive Expedition, Colonia Dublan' Chihuahua, Mexico, March 27.-(By mo- tor to Columbus, N M. March 31O-A complete chain of aviation relays rom the border to the front where Amer ican columns are close on Villas trail has been established.
 The main base is at field head- quarters The advantage of the relay is that it enables the planes to travel with fairly light loads from one sta- tion to the next. It also serves In part to overcome the problem Of altitude which the aviators have faced by Tightening the load of fuel. At present the machines perform messenger serv- ice, carry mails and occasionally emer- gency supplies. One of them took small hand mirror more than 100 mics for important work
 IS IMPORTANT WORK
 All this preparation is for more vital work, as the aviators have already done some of the most important work accomplished by the field division.
 One of the aviators today expressed the wish for a special type Of noun tain flying machine which could De driven to an altitude of l5,ooo rect, carrying an observer and military load.
 With such machines" he said, the circumstances might readily arise in which we could go into the mountains and locate Villa in very lew hours. No aviators can beat our men in sklll.
 The colo and other endurance tests to which our aviators have been put does not seem to have impaired the vitality of the fliers or in the least affected their health.
 So far as the aviators know none of them has been shot at in any or their flights, though one reported shot had been fired at him while he was on hike doing typographical work after landing some distance away from the American lines

 Way, way down in the fourth deck under water, obscured in an out of the way place, were hidden thoughts running in an entirely diff ferent way. A boy in his late teens had run away from home, de- cided that he would do for himself. ''VMhy did he determine to go on this dingy ship? How long before he would be off duty and allowed to go up the ladders, up to the fourth Geck fer breath of air? Would tw., years ever be up? This boat was horrible. Those ladders never ended. The air was foul. Those bammocks he had to sleep in weFe not nearly so comfortable. as bed would have been. The captain was so uppish." ..
 Both minds were working at the same time and yet, what contrast; the captain proud and masterful, and the boy taking a solemn vow never to work again on ship.

The Community Ch14stnlas Tree

n A great feature of the Christmas as in the big cries and especially in New York, is the community Christmas tree. But how many peo- ple either giving or attending # one of these trees know that little city it. Alaska-SkagwaT by name, is the birth place of the Communi- ty tree. On board the Steamship City Of Seattle on February 22, 1899, the Arctic Brotherhood lodge was born. From the first, one of the chief ideas of the lodge was great Christmas tree that should shower it's gifts upon every child in the community and should make sure that every child, hoWeW:E poor got at least one gift on Christmas day. ...
 The first one was held in skag- way in 1900.
 Of course the plan was not work d out as completely then as it is now and although they usually sue ceeded in their aim to give every child of fifteen or under present once iii a while Santa made some queer mistakes, such as giving pair of little red baby shoes to a boy of fifteen. Now, however, eVe.S child gets a bag of nuts and candy in addition to an appropriate gift and every child who has lived Christmas in skagway carries with him thru life a memory of Santa's sleigh bells jingling up to the A. B. Hall and Santa Claus tumbling in with bis great sack of toys.
