Measure Passed by Massa-
chusetts Legislature Is
Signed by Gov. Mccall.
RATED LEGISLATIVE STEP
TOWARD REORGANIZATION
Commonwealth Agrees to Transfer
State Troops to National VOL
unteer Force When Organized.

A measure regarded in Washington as
the first legislative move toward COM
plete liberalization of the militia has
been signed by Gov. Samuel ". Mccall
of Massachusetts.
The bill, proposed to the Massachu-
sets legislature by a special military
commission, puts Massachusetts, on rec
ord as urging complete liberalization
of the country's militia forces, and
Ma ssa chusetts by statute is now COM
mitted to transfer of it's militia from
state to federal control whenever ma
tional volunteer force shall be pro-
vided.
Massachusetts, has called the meas
ure the preparedness bill. The state
is the first to legislate in anticipation
of fully federalized militia, and the
government and people of Massachu-
sets have been enthusiastic in taking
action that may help toward standard
ling and developing the forty-eight
state armies as a national second-line
army. More than 90 per cent of the mi
litiamen of Massachusetts and New
England were in favor of working to-
ward complete liberalization as OPP
posed to the Hay bills scheme of COM
bined federal and state control. The
passage of the bill, by overwhelming
voice votes, was marked by speeches
placing the national defense above
states rights.

Ancient Egypt paid taxes with a
vengeance. The names Of more than
15O different taxes imposed on the
Egyptians of the Roman period have
been learned from the papyri. Besides
the poll tax, they include taxes on
exports and imports, on animals, OH
business transactions, such as sales
and mortgages, imposts for the bene-
fit of the government and its Off
cials, from the emperor downward,
who took his baksheesh in the form OF
national offering, at his accession.
When one further considers the other
burdens to which property was liable,
the imposition of public duties and
the discharges OF costly municipal
functions, the wonder is that there
was anything left to tax.

Already Bought the Serial

Pathe has become known as "the
house OF serials" Certainly that en-
terprising organization has more sue
cessful serials TO it's credit than any
other in the motion picture business,
and 1t was one Of the very first to
make one, "The Perils of Pauline"
having been begun about two years
ago The first episode of 'The Red
Circle" was released on December
18th Now comes announcement from
Mr.. RamirezTorres, Assistant Man
aging Director Of Pathe. to the effect
that sometime in February will be
released another serial "The Iron
Claw" by Arthur Stringer, the well
known novelist, and Geo B. seitz.
1t is interesting to note that AR
Stringer's work was selected on its
merits from large number of manu-
scripts submitted by some forty-seyen.
different authors, among them many
of national reputation. Il is a strong
story Of mystery and love with the
hero's identity kept in mystery until
the last moment Many Of the scenes
are laid on an island off the coast oi
South Carolina.
"The Iron Claw" will be in twelve
episodes of two parts each. It will be
produced by the Feature Film Corpor
alton. and directed by Edward Jose
who has achieved fame as a pro
ducer Of of Cold Rooster Plays.
The principals of the cast have been
determined by the numerous letters
which have been received by Pathe
from exhibitors and movie fans all
over the country, requesting that Pearl
White, Sheldon Lewis and Creighton
Hale of "The Exploits of Elaine fame
be featured in another serial.
Over six hundred newspapers all
over the country have already been

Arthur Stringer will be well remem
bered as the author Of THE Shadow
"The Secret Agent" "The Wire Tap
pers," "The Gun Runners" "The Hand
Of PERIL . "The Occasional Offender

with that vital quality known as
punch" and "The iron Claw dis
plays plenty of that characteristic.
Creighton Hale. who is featured with
Pearl White, acquired great fame
as Jameson" "Craig Kennedy's" as.
sistant in the elaine" serials. He
possesses a remarkably engaging per
sonality, and his talent has been recog
nized by his being given important
parts in a number of Pathe features.

the harmony OF things, drinks the
magic of the world How beauty

stroy it, cannot take from us the feel

such perfection. 1t cannot take the
voice from the streams, remove the

Furthermore, the winter quarters Of

PATHE'S "HAZEL kIRK-,D A PLAY
WITH WONDERFUL RECORD;
HAS BEEN PLAYED FOR OVER
THIRTY YEARS.

Ask anyone to mention the most
famous American plays and he win
give without hesitation the names Of
three or four, two of which will in
evitably be "Uncle Toms Cabin" and
Hazel Kirkec' 1t is significant that
all the plays mentioned will be found
to be based upon American rural life
that they preach a uniform lesson
Of the beauty of parental love, the
importance of living a clean life and
the unhappiness and ruin that result
from doing evil. Those who preach
the decadence OF the taste Of the time,
would do we'll to consider that the
suggestive in plays condemns them
to q short life and that the plays that
live are of the type mentioned above
containing strong heart interest and
an evident moral.
Hazel Kirke" has shown a phe.
nomenal vitality which has endured
for over thirty years 1t was written
by the late Steele MacKaye, the well
known actor and playwright. In the
original production were featured
Charles W. Couldock and Effie Els
Ter, who. as the old miller and his
daughter, took the country by storm
and played their parts for years.
The story deals with an old Ken
lucky miller, Dunstan Kirke, whose
daughter Hazel has been educated by
wealthy neighbor, Squire Rodney,
to whom she has been promised in
marriage by her father. She, how
ever, falls in love with rich young
man from the city, Arthur Caring
ford. When her father learns Of this.
he curses her for her lack of com
pliance with his wishes and drives
her from his house. She goes with
Carringford and is married to him
at a country hotel. The minister has
been secured by Carrlngford's butler,
who knowing that the young mans
mother is opposed to the marriage for
purely selfish reasons. has hired, as he
thought, a bar-room loafer to perform
the marriage. The terrible grief OF
Hazel when she is informed by her
motherin-law that the marriage was
not legal. drives her from her hus-
bands house to seek refuge with her
father. Denied shelter there. she
seeks to kill herself. to be rescued
IN the nick Of time by her husband,
who has vainly sought her everywhere. /
The marriage Is found to be legal, and
the play ends happily.
Pearl White, in the title role, finds
an opportunity for serious expression
denieS her in the past. AS Hazel she
is always convincing and does per-
haps the best work Of her career.

ripened by years Of starring on the !
