Famous Editors Epigrams.

Sir Herbert Tree had Il reputation
I'm England for making enigrams. One
of his obituary articles quoted several
times that he made when playing In
this country. 'In America" he said,
"there are many babies but few chill
dren., "There is something in the
air in New York he thought. "that
stimulates and solaces activity; one
ought always to he tired, but never
YEARLY" More ambiguous, but without
doubt honestly meant in a compliments
ary sense, was his remark after a
conversation with Cardinal Gibbons:
"Of great men one sometimes learns
little things This would have been
better If he had said. "From great
men, ETC., as perhaps he did. In his
own line of theatrical work he said:
"If the commercial managers of Amer
lea had but served Shakespeare as
they have served musical comedy, he
would not have been deserted in his
old age" Probably Sir Herbert had
heard of our famous ''tired business
man." but apparently he forgot him in
this remark about so-called musical
comedy.

WELL CALLED GREATEST GIFT
Hard to Overestimate What the Quail
ity of imagination Has Done
for the World.

A man may be denied health,
wealth. friends. education many Of the
other good things of life, but there is
one thing which, if he be so happy as
TO be endowed Herewith, can never
be taken from him no matter what
his condition in life may be-and that
is the quality of imagination. This
quality it is which inspires all hope
and furnishes the wings for faith,
which peoples the heavens with an
gels and lights up the very shadow of
the tomb. Imagination it is that
opens the windows of the soul ana
allows man to see back down the
vistas of the past and far along the
lanes of coming time. 1t is 1magina-
ton that brings happiness and con-
tentment into the lives of the sick, the
impoverished and the oppressed. 1t
makes noble men sing in prison vet
haunts with awful dreams the tyrant
on the throne. Without imagination
there would be no 'Pilgrim's Prog
ress," no paradise Lost" no mid
summer Nights Dream" nor would
there be ever any invention or archi-
lecture or music that is "the wine of
the soul" or sculpture or painting that
reflect i'm form and color the ideals
i'm the minds of men. Blessed be
imagination. the greatest gift of SUI
preme wisdom and power to the chill
dren of earth.-Los Angeles Times.

At The Republic Tonight.

Anita Stewart, star of 1.-The Mess
age of the Mouse, the Greater Vita
graph Blue Ribbon feature which will
be the attraction at the Republic Thea
ter tonight has emancipated her sex
by proving she is not afraid of a
mouse. In the production of this pic
ture, which is the screen adaptation
of q story by George Randolph Ches-
ter and Lillian Chester, it was abso-
lutely necessary that live mouse be
used, because a mouse is the key to
the plot.
Incidentally, the picture was con-
sidersbly delayed while the Vitagraph
director found mouse with sufficient
his,rionc ability to play the role.
He tried cut many mice, but all ran
true to type and out of the picture
when the director tried to use them.
Commodore Stuart Blackton, who
directed the picture, was almost in
depsair. until finally he hit on the
scheme of setting traps on the stages
of several New York theater. Final
ly, he caught mouse that had been
accustomed to actors and was not
afflicted with stage fright. This is
the mouse that appears in the picture
and his salary consisted of chocolates,
paid to him by Miss Stewart.
When Mr.. Mouseawas fret brought
into the picture, Miss Stewart, without
any acting at all, registered fear.
Later, she saw that the mouse was
regular actor. and she went through
the scenes with him without any ap
prehension When the picture was
finished, the mouse continued to live
at the studio lin cage-and Miss
Stewart fed him chocolates regularly
until
One day, his Mouseship got out OF
the cage and Gasoline" the Vita
graph studio cat. saw him. That wac
the end of his career as an actor.
Gasoline" made him go so East the
mouse VISA named "Jitney." But ne
never knew it, because he never went

With elaborate settings depicting
French fishing village and the Latin
quarter of Paris and company of
more than 200 players the new Tri-
angle play THE Mother Instinct. "
starring Enid Bennett, which comes
to the Republic Theater tomorrow,
promises to be one of the most inter.
esting plays presented in several
months.
The story concerns Eleanor Ccutierre,
a fisherman's daughter in little coast
hamlet of France, who goes to Paris
and enters the gay revelries of the
Latin quarter. When her mother
comes unexpectedly to the city she
finds that Eleanor has become q moth
er and is innocently proud of the name
less babe. In the meantime cleaners
sister. Marie, has visited her and told
of her love for man in the fishing
village whom she has refused to marry
bee of the disgrace brought on
the family name. The peculiar mys-
terry of circumstance is penetrated
when Raoul Bergere, worthless fell
low is found dead. Marie is held for
mis- murder, but she il cleared before
the French court, and with her &C
quittal Eleanor's name is cleared of
scandal.
The intense scenes of the picture
are admirably acted by such well
known Triangle players as Margery
Wilson, JACK Gilbert, Gertrude Claire,
Rowland lee Carl Ullman and Tod
| Burns.

Mary Plckford in Q delightful screen
version of the famous story "Rebecca

superb attraction at the Colonial to-
night. Rebecca Randall and her large
family Of brothers and sisters live to-
gether at Sunnybrook Farm. which is
principally remarkable for the size of
the mortgage it carries. The task of
taking care of all the children is too
much for Mrs. Randall, so finally Re-

New England disciplinarians and they
strive to bring Rebecca up in the way
they think that she should 60.
Rebecca descends upon the aunts
and makes friends of all the children
in the neighborhood except Minnie
Smellie, daughter of the minister.

come fast friends and to raise money,
the two start out selling soap, intend
ing to get banquet lamp to present

her establishment he purchases enough
soap to obtain the banquet lamp.
When Rebecca tells him about Mrs.
Simpson and her lack Of q wedding

FEW GIVE LUCID TESTIMONY
Average Person Seems to Get Badly
clustered When Talking to
Lawyer or Detective.

"And after the choking" prompted
the lawyer who represented the
plaintiff in a recent trial for assault.
"0h. there wasn't any choking that
| saw" said the witness.
"No choking? But didn't YOU tell
the officer that the accused sprang
upon his victim from behind and
seized him by the throat?"
sYes, sir. surely But there wasn't
any choking. He Just squeezed him
till he couldn't breathe"
swell, wasn't that choking, I'd like
10 know?"
"When body chokes. he coughs till
he spits it out explained the witness.
shut the old man didn't have any
thing in his mouth, and he didn't
cough, so he didn't choke. He was
squeezed till the life was most squoze
out of him. that's ALL"
If the court was not enlightened by
such a finely Disseminated point,
neither was the truth beclouded. But
William J. Burns, the famous detec-
tive, declares that it Is nearly impos-
sible for the average person TO give
simple. lucid information to a lawyer
or detective. He gives as an exam
pie the office boy who was asked, did
Mr.. Jones or his partner usually reach
the Office first?''
"Well," said the boy eagerly, blush
ing and stammering with excitement.
s'Mr. Jones at first was always last,
but later he began to get earlier, till
at last he was first, although before
ne had always been behind. He soon
got later again, although of late he
has been sooner. and at last he got
behind as before. But guess he'll be
getting earlier sooner or later

Kinobird IS chlvaIrous Fighter.

The scientists call the kingbird Ty-
rannus tyrannus, doubling up on the
tyrannical significance Of the thing be-
cause this bird of ours tyrannizes
over other birds, but 1t is grateful to
say that his pecking pugnacity re-
strains itself in the cases of birds
smaller than himself.
There are some good friends of the
kingbird who will tell you that the
uranus of his name is used in its
extremely ancient significance. which
was that of ruler rather than tyrant,
but the kingbird is tyrant, neverthe-

SANITARY UNITS ARE
TO BE ESTABLISHED
Twelve Cities Have Asked Cooperation
of The Red Cross.

Appropriations to Eestablish Red
Cross Sanitary Units for the protec-
tior of health in districts surround
ing four more army environments were
announced recently by the Red Cross
War Council. Tewlve cities have now
requested the cooperation of the Red
Cross in taking measures to prevent
the spread of disease or epidemics,
and in making the communities sur
rounding the camps safe for the SOL
diers. The total amount now apprc-
priated to begin.,t this work is sos, 900.
The four latest cities to receive Red
Cross aid in sanitation are: Newport
News, Va; Aver. Mass. /; Atlanta,
Ga. and Chillicothe, Ohio.
At Newport News large shipyards
and an aviation school make the pro.
lection of the health of the inhabitants
particularly important. To begin the
work in Washington, S2I 900 has been
set aside.
Three public health nurses have
been assigned to Aver, Mass, for
which 1000 is provided. They will
work with the Massa husetts State
Department, which has already es-
tablished a very efficient organiza-
ton, for taking sanitary measures
around the cantonment nearby.
Eradication of misunderstanding mo-
suuitoes will be one of the problems
Of the unit which will operate around
Camp Gordon at Atlanta. 1t is to aid
the personnel of the local organization.
This unit, to be known as No. IL,
has an Apr opr itain of s14, 900.
The twelfth unit is designed for
Chillicothe, Ohio, and will assign a
nacteriologist to work in cooperation
with the Ohio State Board of Health.
IL will include also several sanitary
inspectors and two Public Health
nursesto support the existing health
organization. The appropriation here
Is $4,000.
All these Sanitary Units of the Red
Cross are 10 be placed at the disposal
OF the Public Health Service and State
and County health authorities. I'm
der their direction they will assist in
the sanitation of districts around cam
tonments and army communities.
Specifically, they will aid constl-
tuted officials in insuriDg the purity of
milk and water supplies, and in clean
ing up iusanitary places near the
camps which might be dangerous as
germ incubators. The inspectors will
patrol the territory surrounding camp
limits 20 enforce sanitary regulation,
Ia cooperation with the sanitary Off
GERS of the army.
Ia addition TO the twelve Sanitary
TUFTS now authorized by the Red
Cross to help protect army camp COM
munities from disease. the Red Cross
has recently prepared to equip five
laboratory railroad cars, for emer-
gency work These are to be SO sta
toned that any cantnment can be
reached within a few hours from re-
ceipt of request from federal or state
health authorities.
