Human Interest in
 "The Devils Prize
Players Live Roles and Film Grows Into Masterpiece-The Show for Tuesday.

The panic scenes of "The Devils Prize," the five-part Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature starring Antonio Mo reno and Naomi Childers, which was both written and directed by Mar guerite Bertsch, are marvelously true.
 This feature, which is the attrac- tion at the Gem Theater on Tuesday tells how the owner of large coal mines apparently opens his heart to the mass, selling shares in the stock at small prices. The mine workers take their savings which they have hoarded in all manner of places, and rush to the scene on the day of the sale. It becomes as holiday to them. The women and children stand at the broken and tumble gates and wave goodbye, their faces register ing unbounded joy at the opportunity Of investing the savings in safe pro- position.
 Then the crash comes! The mine owners crime becomes known. Re- alizing that his mines were worth less, he decided to save his own skin at the expense of his poor, half

Take round steak or other beef that
is not too stringy, cut into half-inch
dice and cook in a double boiler, near
ly covered with water, two or three
hours, adding salt, pepper and a small
piece Of butter toward the last; take
the rind and other tough portions, COW

LET UNIONS BE CONSISTENT

AS the present crisis is no time to
bring up party politics, neither is it a
time to bring up unionism and try
and force manufacturers or mine op-
orators to recognize unions.
It is true that the price of living
has so advanced that workmen should
receive higher wages, and in many
lines of industry this advance has
been freely given where conditions
warranted. especially in the manu-
featuring line, where large profits are
quick and sure. In the mining dis
ed at profit wages have advanced
in like proportion.
In Gilpin county and other gold
camps wages cannot be materially ad-
vanced without the closing CT the
mines. Gold has fixed value and
although all supplies needed for gold
mining have advanced from so to 300
per cent. still the price OF gold per
ounce remains the same and but very
few of the mines can stand wage
advance.
The Leadville district is another
instance where wages could not be
materially advanced at the present
time. Many of these mines have been
closed for over twenty years, until
the recent rise Of silver prompted
new operators to expend hundreds Of
thousands of dcllars in repairs and
pumping out the old mines, and be-
fore placing them on a paying basis.
whereby they might realize a profit
that would enable them to pay hi gh
er rate of wages, the heads of the
Miners union call strike, demand
Ing higher wages, and also recogni-
dcn of the union, with the result
that the mines are now closed and
the workmen are either idle or re-
moved to oher camps. Had the
heads of the urion, whose living is
derived from fomenting trouble,
allowed these operators time to place
their mines ON a paying basis, the
miners wages would undoubtedly
have been raised, corresponding to
the high cost of living.
There is no patriotism or love of
country in those who for dollars and
cents. would deprive an army of
workingmen from earning living
tor themselves and families, simply
to provoke dissensicn in order that
they may draw their bloated salar-
les.

BILE copper mines in Japan, has dis

rate Of 48 per cent in the last half
year, and the stopping of the subsidy

WHAT ONE BILLION
..l1 DOLLARS MEANS

1t is easy to say billion dollars,
and since the war started many peo-
pie have ccme to refer to billion
as sum of no great Importance one
way or the other. ao'
But the fact is that million dol
lars is so huge sum that few Of us
can conceive 1t in our minds.
Here is one example that VIII help
us to grasp what billion is:
Everyone has seen how rapidly an
expert bank teller manipulates coins.
The treasury experts will count A.
900 silver dollars in an hour and keep
it up all day long, but that is their
limit. Working eight hours a day
then, am expert counter Of coins will
handle $1,000 silver dollars in a day.
1t will take him thirty-one days
and two hours to count million dol
lars.
Now, If this man continued to
count dollars, day after day, year af-
ter year, he would find at the end Of
3l25 days, or approximately ten years
that he had count ed one hundred mil
lien.
To count a billion dollars would
require 31,250 working days, or ap-
proximately 100 years, Of steady work
at the rate of eight hours per day.
Another illustration that helps us
to visualize a billion is the fact that
one billion silver dollars laid down
in line, each coin touching its neigh
bors preceding and following it. would
form line sufficient to stretch prac-
tically around the world, the exact
number of silver dollars required to
form continuous line equal to the
earth's circumference at the equator
being approximately 1O52 900 900.
Another fact that startles many
people is that just a little over one
billion minutes have elapsed since
Christ was on ear.h.

CONSUMPTION HAS
VARIOUS DEFINITIONS

We fully believe that the only just
way to raise am army is by conscrip-
tion, and not by volunteers By con-
scriptdcn for the army or navy, the
high, the low, the rich and the poor
stand upon the same level as regards
battling fer their country's rights.
There is also another kind of con-
scription that enrolls the wealth OF a
nation in time of war for the pay
ment of the nations debts, and the
one Is as essential as the other.
Many of our citizens have wa4ed
wealthy in the last three years from
war revenues. and II hey are patri-
otic to the country that gave them
these opportunities, they should free
ly and willingly allow the government
to consoript large per cent CT this
income (fcr the period Of the war;
for its urgent needs.
In England, the government has al
ready ccnscripted as high as sixty
per cent of the income of the wealthy y
for war purposes, and there is no
reason why the wealth of our nation
should not bear the majority of this
wars debt.
The soldier at the 'front.'. who is
battling for the preservation of his
country and this great wealth, may
give his life in the prime of his
manhood for the safety of both, and
his only reward is that he died for
his country and It's flag. The wealth
OF the nation is centered mostdy in
those who are beyond the age of
conscripticn, and their duty is to
see that the debts of the brave boys
who are fighting at the frcnt are paid
from the Golfers of this accumulated
wealth.
Let Our government emulate that
of England and other nations, and
pass laws that will conscript the
wealth (for war purposes) of those
who have made untold profits from
the result of the war.
