relieved the pain and tension. but did
not restore her lost sight. The glau-
coma, however, continued as bad as
ever. DR.. Bates thereupon used the
following method in treating this
type OF blindness:
The patient was asked to imagine
a small black spot or dot about the
size OF period. When the sight was
almost gone, at the start Of the treat
ment, the period imagined was imper-
feet. The memory or Imagination of
a black period, at all times and in all
places, secured for this patient un-
usual benefit.
What Mind Does.
1t was explained that by this ak
ation," a passive, receptive or re-
laxed condition of the eyes, nerves
and mind are intended. When the
mind Is sufficiently at rest the eye
sees best what It looks at. With the
passive, receptive, relaxed condition
OF the eyes and mind or with the alb
sence Of strain or effort, as manifest
ed by central hxation, the sight, says
DR.. Bates, Is always improved.
The near-sighted "refraction" pro-
duced by an effort to see distant OBJ
jects and the far-sightedness pro-
duced by an effort to. see near were
absent when the eyes became relaxed
and fxed In the manner described.
Color blindness, pain, fatigue, a
narrow field of vision and blinkings
from too much light were all either
benefited or cured The symptoms of
glaucoma, tension, sQuint,. muscle

appeared instantaneously' when the
patient was conscious of the central
hxation" mentioned.

No less enthusiastic than the
crowds of thea trical people who wit
messed the first unofficial showing OF
broadway Jones were the thronSs
attending the debut here of this film
at Loew's Columbia Theater yesterday
afternoon and evening.
As in New York, everyone turned
out to pay tribute to the entrance of
George Cohan in f1lmdom-
For his debut he has selected bis
most popular stage success, Broad
way Jones'"
The story concerns Broadway
Jones, so called because of his love
for the famous street, who is tired of
the old-fashioned business methods
employed by his uncle in conducting
Chu-Chu Chewing Gum Company in
Jonesville.
When Wallace, an advertising man
from New York, comes to the town,
Broadway finally decides that he must
see the white lights. He journeys to
the city, leaving Josie Richards, the
stenographer of the company, behind.
In New York he sets a terrific pace
until his funds are gone. Then he
proceeds to become engaged to Mrs.
Gerard, rich widow. He regrets the
engagement soon after, and Mrs. Ger
ard proceeds to pursue and pursue
him.
When Broadway receives word of
his uncle's death H. goes back to
Jonesville. At first he plans to sell
the plant to the gum trust, but real
izing that he will throw many men
out of work by SO doing, he assumes
charge of the place and installs Wal
lace as advertising man
Mrs. Gerard foiled in her every at
tempt to further ensnare Broadway,
contents herself by marrying his but
Ter, and Josie becomes Mrs. Broadway

Apollo.

Several Of Theda Bara's recent
screen impersonations have been
made in pictures in which she has
not appeared in the "vampirish"
roles for which she is best known.
but The Tiger Woman" today's at
traction at Crandalrs Apollo, is not
one OF these. On the contrary, its
central character is a real vampire.
Devoid Of any of the softer emotions,
the heroine's sole reason for exist
ence seems to be found in the graft
hcation of passion for Jewels and
priceless raiment.
The early part of the story is laid
in Russia and is later transferred to
America Miss Bara's work, to ad-
mfrers of that particular type of wo-
man, VIII prove pleasing.
Other members of the cast which
made this picture include: z. +.

The German people regret as deeply as any of us that
their government and Administration have been unable

between them and the result of what our Department
of State has called he great changes which have occurred
IN the conditions and means of naval warfare since the rules

Great Britain to declare legal blockade of the coasts of
Germany. She has, instead resored to the illegal procla
nation OF military areas the high SEAS by means of
which she has stopped our legal commerce with Germany
The German people cannot understand why we should
submit to these British military areas" where all neutral
ships threatened with immediate destruction by nines
and warShipS," officially announced by Great Britain,
and should refuse to submit to the German war zones"
where neutral ships threatened with destruction by sub
marines.
If the loss of American lives in the British military
areas has been comparatively SMALL this due to the fact
that Administration has withheld its support from all
who dared to enter them
If we to follow the same course with respect to
the German war zoneS" established by Germany as a re-

should avoid additional loss of American lives and should
remove all danger of friction with Germany.
