STORY OF NORTH
 ON LYCEUM SCREEN

A story of the north, with it's beau- tiful snow and tall pines should be welcome in this kind of weather. Such a picture is the Land of Long Shad- ows" featuring Jack Gardner, today and tomorrow. Tho story is a par ticularly strong one and is one of the finest that could be selected for the "Lyceum All Star Week."
 The Lyceum has long promised it's patrons new seats. They have now arrived and a gang of workmen are busy nights assembling them and making their installation as they pro- ceed. It is expected that they will be put down at the rate of one hundred a night, and no performance will be interrupted.
 Friday and Saturday the famous William s. Hart will be at the Ly- ceum in his latest photoplay, Wolf Lowry." His fame is widespread, and his ability as an actor can be said to equal four or five of any stars pre- sented in many other theaters.
 During this 'Lyceum all star week" there will be no advance in prices.

 Mans Face at Window. '-:-
 A few nights later Mrs. Venable and a governess were putting little Marion to bed when the child cried out to her mother:-
 "Theresa mans face at the win dow" ,,r
 Mrs Venable and the governess looked and saw man peering in at the open window. While the child and her governess screamed Mrs. Venable ran into her own bedroom and obtained a pistol. Running back into Marion's bedroom, Mrs. Venable bravely went to the window and looked out. She saw man running across the lawn and she fired five shots at him. Apparently no bullet hit him. He continued running and escaped. Brophy and other gardeners searched the grounds, but found no one.
 On two occasions after that strange men were seen about the place. Mrs. Venable had engaged a detective from an agency, and when he approached the men they ran. Mrs. Venable be- came convinced, it was said. that an effort was being made to kidnap Mar ion, and a few days ago she hurriedly packed few things and left her home with the child. Their refuge is being kept secret, but their flight was So precipitate that Mrs. Venable neglect ed to take with her jewels valued at $10,0OO that had been on dressing table.
 Prowler Escapes by Window.
 Late in the night of the day that the mother and child fled Brophy was awakened by dog barking and saw a light moving about one wing of the bungalow. The gardener called two of his assistants and they hurried to the house. Through a wndow they could see a man moving about, light ing his way with a candle. Brophy and his men went to rear door, to which he had a key, and opened it. They ran into the house, hoping to catch the man, but he escaped through a window. They fired several shots while pursuing him, but he reached the road, jumped into a waiting au- tomobile and disappeared.
 The jewels that Mrs. Venable had left behind and a chest containing all her silver had not been disturbed. and that convinced the household that the object of the intruder was to kidnap Marion. Apparently he did not know that the child had been taken away. that day. He had obtained entrance to the house by forcing side win dow.
 Friends of Mrs. Venable said she had expressed a fear that Marion would be stolen and held until large sum was paid for her deliverance. The court that gave a divorce decree to Mrs. Venable also gave exclusive cus- tody of the child to her.

SIDE TALKS
A Special Garden
BY RUTH CAMERON

about having all those boys around the place but his father overruled her doubts. The other two boys were duly invited and proved the very best feature of the scheme. It was fun for the youngsters to all get out and grub together whereas 1t would have been the hardest kind of work for anyone to leave the rest playing ball and go out and dig by himself. Also 1t stimulated rivalries. And best of all, perhaps, 1t taught cooperation and team work.
 He Outstripped Ills Father.
 Another somewhat unusual feature about this boys garden was that 1t outstripped the grown-up garden. Junior was so much interested that he went to several lectures on gar dening, and having youths willing ness to try the new, he tried out some of the methods suggested by the lecturer and actually outstripped his father in early production of several vegetables.
 The boys are now cooperating in marketing their produce and getting a practical lesson in bookkeeping, be- sides earning (and saving) some real money.
 And the nations stock of food is increased. Ever so slightly? Yes. but what was 1t we used to write in our copybooks about little drops of water. etc.7

'WOMAN WHO DARED"
 AT, FOX'S THEATER

One of the biggest sensations that the motion picture industry has ever witnessed is the big seyen-part drama "The Woman Who Dared" which is the feature of tho Fox program for today and tomorrow. The star of this productlon Is the charming Boattrix Michclena, who is well known for bar versatility in dramatic roles The power and vividness that she nrts into her work is a by-word among the less celebrated of her profession, and when it is said '"rhe Woman Who Dared" is the biggest and best picture that she has ever made, it follows logically that there have been few productions that can compare with it. The picture tells the story of q woman-a different kind of woman, one to whom convention and the opinions of her fellow-kind mean nothing. She is daring in more ways than one, and every foot of the seven thousand that make un the pic- ture is packed with unusual incident and dramatic situation ."rhe Woman Who Dared' will only be shown once in the evening, and there will be no advance in price.
 Another adventure of the popular gentleman scamp. Stngaree, will also be shoWn, as will the latest issue of the American News Weekly. Consid- erable attention has been aroused by the announcement of next Mondays feature. which will be return of the athletic and handsome hero Dustin Farnun, who will be seen in his latest release, "Durand of The Badlands." one of those strong stories of prini- tive passions and n-to-man fights.

I want to tell you about garden.
 Doubtless you have heard g. good deal about gardens this summer. But this is very special garden.
 In way there was nothing re- markable about it and in another way it was quite remarkable. Some folks may find 1t commonplace be- cause they have had similar experi- ences and other folks, not having boys in their family, may not be in- terested on that account. But for the sake of those who have boys and haven't this kind of a garden I want to tell you about it. (And also for the sake of neighbors of gardenless boys).
 The Father Didn't Butt In.
 This garden was a boys garden par excellence. It belonged abso- lutely to him. His father had gar den of his own and he showed the boy some things Uater the boy showed him some things) but he didn't butt in to the boys garden with any bossing or helping.
 That was one important point. An other was this: When the plan was made his father said, Now doing things alone is work and doing things with someone Is fun. We'll let the boy pick out two other boys and let them all three have the garden to- gether.
 The Other Boys Were the Best Feat

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Ger-
many fired the first shot of the war
against America today-and it
missed.
Official information reached the
navy department shortly after noon
today that the United States des-
troyer Smith was fired upon by 4
German submarine at $3.50 Il. III.
to-day.
The torpedo launched by the T.
boat missed the Smith. The des-
troyer gave chase to the submarine,
but the enemy ship submerged and
escaped.
In announcing the first engage
nent of the war the navy depart
u,ent issued the following bulletin;
.Reports from Fire Island light
shin to the navy stations at Boston
and at New York stated that about

.ine fired a torpedo at the Smith,
which missed by thirty yards. The
wake of the torpedo was plainly
e,,r .cross the bow. The submarine
disappeared"
The navy department had not
heard about the clash until press

of the Fire Island light ship have
been in circulation for several days,
it was said here today.
The report of an engagement be-
tw cen submarine chaser and Ger

The rumor asserts that the Ger

er portal of New York's harbor.
While for military reasons the
navy department would not say
what was being done about hunting
down the submarine it was ASSUME
ed that a redoubled watch is being
put into effect.
Reports to the Boston naval sta
ton Indicate that the submarine
was lowering off the New Jersey
coast between Atlantic City and
Asbury Park and only a short dis
tance below New York City itself.
The navy department has no way
Of knowing whether the submarine
has made the journey from Bremen
haven, intending to make quick
strike and return, OF whether II has
been lying off the American coast
for some time receiving supplies
from hidden base on the Mexican
coast or elsewhe along the At
lantic coast.
One of the numerous reports OF
submarine off our coast has been
that n group of them were harbor-
ed in Mexican waters ready to make
a spectacular raid on one of Amer
ita's great ports.
The immediate effects of the
Smith affair, as the navy depart
nient sees 1t, will be to stir the
country to realization that war
is at our very shores and stimulate
recruiting in both the navy and
army.
When the U-53 arrived ut New
port Captain Rose especially called
attention to the fact that he did not
come in for fuel nor did he take
any aboard.
The appearance of fighting,
submarine on this side has naturally
aroused great speculation as To the
possibility of secret base having
been established at some point with

American waters. No information
as to this, however, is available.
