Guards Mobilize.

San Antonio, May 13.-The COM
pany of coast artillery from Galveston
passed through San Antonio this
morning on its way to Marathon to
strengthen the base of the second pun
tive expedition in Mexico. Headquar-
ters has been advised that the ten
other coast artillery companies have
left for Fort Sam Houston. With
mobilization of the Texas militia prac-
tically completed the next step will be
to muster in the troops and then put
them through a course of training.
The belief was expressed by depart
ment officials that it will be at least
three weeks before the first of the
National Guard companies are sent to
border stations.
General Funston is expected to re-
turn to headquarters Immediately, as
he is needed here to direct disposition
of the many additional troops placed
under his command.

SCHOOLS CONDUCT SHOWS.
Municipal Movies idea Is Growing in
Kansas, Says McKeever.

Lawrence, Kan, May 13.-Four
cities of Kansas now have municipal
motion picture shows and three 9TH
ers except to inaugurate the plan soon,
according to Prof. w. A. McKeever,
head of the child welfare department
of the University of Kansas, who an
nounced today that the movement for
supervised municipal motion picture
shows was spreading rapidly in KAN
sas. Syracuse, Kincaid, Cimarron and
Chapman now have such shows and
Colony, Coldwater and Ashland are
preparing to start, he said.
1.-The shows are conducted through
the schools" said Professor Mckeev-
er, land it is the best way of censoring
films that 1 know of. The films are
a part of the eduction of the children
and also are entertaining to grown
persons. All films shown in the mu-
nicipal movies are educational. They
are divided into three parts: The
comedy, which is selected for its
wholesomeness; the story, usually
taken from some we'll known classic;
and the travelog, considered strictly
educational.
Usually the shows are given two or
three times a week with an afternoon
performance for the smaller children.
The university is preparing to be able
to furnish pictures for schools and
thus facilitate the movement. So far
the plan has proved to be highly salts
