BIG CROWDS 1 WITNESS
 BERTH 0F A NATl0N'

A crowded house last night wit messed the first showing of "The Birth of Nation," at it's second en- gagement at the Best theatre here, and again there was no doubt of the interest taken and the enthusiasm displayed. over the great spectacle. The music by the special orchestra, all of most appropriate kind, was a feature that added to the enjoyment of the audience. A matinee today and another showing tonight, will bring the engagement to close.
 David w. Griffith, whose fame has girdled the globe, chose for the. theme of his great; spectacle the turmoil of over fifty years ago, out of which a new and united nation was born. A Southerner himself, Griffith knows the heart of the South. Through his wonderful pictorial story of what the South suffered he has brought out the brotherhood of the North and has done more to cement the friendship of the two sections than all the books that have been written. Editorials in northern newspapers say that he has forever wiped out the Mason and Dixon line.
 In order to doa his work conscien- tiously, Griffith employed whole corps of history experts to ransack thousands of printed volumes, pam phlets, bound files of old newspapers and manuscripts. From their re- searches he built up his scenario. Not one of the historical incidents shown on the screen can be successfully dis puted. He is,a teacher of historical truths, but he never becomes tire some in the telling. Distilled in the alembic of his imagination, history takes on the aspect of romance with all of it's fascination.
 Those who have seen 'The Birth of Nation no more wonder trat it cost $50O,0O0 to produce. They only mar vel that it did not cost more. Take the battle of Petersburg, for instance. The reproduction of that alone cost

WORTHAM SHOWS WILL
 CLOSE HERE TONIGHT

Today will see the conclusion of the Wortham Shows engagement in Pine Bluff for the benefit of Sahara tenn pie, Shriners, an engagement that has been signalized by the bringing to the city of the best and most meritorious aggregation of tented attractions in the country and showmen who have had the proper regard for the morals and cleanliness of the community. r There have been no objectionable features throughout the week, there have been no complaints against the shows and the Shriners are pleased with the way the festival has been handled by c. A. Wortham, who has personally directed the entire pro- ceedings.
 The shows have pleased thousands and the Wortham Shows have dem onstrated that the outdoor amusement field is to be carried on with as much decorum and decency as any other line of the amusement business. The shows will present special pro- grams in nearly every case for their last days offering. They will start promptly dI ! U. ill oAu InOAO VIII w

 The wild animal arena will present the lion cubs for inspection. and these baby lions are sure to make a host of friends with the little ones. There will be the dogs and ponies and the funny monkeys in some new acts and altogether it is the intention of Mr. Wortham and the managers of his diff ferent shows to make Saturday May

 the engagement.
 The shows go from here to Little Rock, where they again play under the auspices of the Al Amin patrol and band. The honor of exhibiting for the Shriners is one that MT. Wortham
 particularly enjoys and it Is alto

Today-If a woman has won a place in the business or professional world does her marriage mean that she must necessarily relinquish it to become mistress of her household? That is the question raised in "The Weaker Sex," Triangle play, which has Dorothy Dalton, Charles Ray and Louise Glaum as a tristan combina- tion. The play answers the question, and the answer, it is said, will prove satisfactory to most of the women who see the picture.

Such raw materials brought into free port and sent

The Government delighted to have American labor en-
ployed and well paid would allow the goods to come IN to

The Germans were smart enough long ago to realize
the importance Of giving work at good wages to all the
people in Germany.
That was their idea they cared not how they brought

That ought to be the idea in the United States and the
free port ought to help bring about Congress should do
everything in the troubles that will follow this to give

A Million Tons of Coal
That Is About What Year-h An Could Be Dispensed
With and Light Heat and Obtained Very Cheaply
From the Potomac River.
By EARL GOODWIN.

Heat and light and power flowing by our doors every
day. we stepped out and captured this great flow Wash
lngton would save annually million tons OF coal In the
coming twelve months this would mean about six million
dollars averaging the cost and counting in the coal which
the poor buy at 40 cents bucket and the rich manufacturing
corporation at four or five dollars a ton.
This great wasted power, of course is the Potomac
river Its great and broad reaches and its mpeuous dash
from Great Falls toward the city have power remae
this entire locality to light and heat Washington and to
build great community the Virginia side of the river
and after that to sell power to other cities towns.
We think very efficient and very remarkable
because we erect power plants with intricate and marvellous
machinery within their wallis but what wasteful people
are In reaty For instance, build central heating plant
for the Government department buildings power plant
for the Capo tremendous powerhouse and plant for the
navy yard plants for the street railways and the
electric light company; each Office building has its
plant and the schools have theirs smart
we think would not have separate plant for
the navy yard and separate plant for the Capitol and
require separate maintenance duplicated and Implicated
machinery and all the uneconoical features found scat
tered and decentraEzed operation.
If we smart tell people, would have
thrown massive dam the Potomac above the falls
It would be large that great lake would be formed be-
hind it. the water would flow from there to Georgetown
great pipe AT Georgetown the power plant would lie, and
the water falling from the great pipe would drive the tur
bnes, which, in their turning, steal the force from the
Potomac.
Engineers tell me that such dam and plant might cost
$685. 000000-h it is figured the largest scale If the
money is to be borrowed at per cent by the Government
the annual interest charge would be OOOO depreciation
would be 100000; operation 100000 annually which
makes total of 100000 year to light every house. heat

Artists! An Ebb Tide
Returns Flood
By M a b Ell Dodge.

So you are being blamed and
held In contempt.
This is indeed the dark night Of
the soul Of the artist.
1t is the time Of testing out the
true metal.
But believe this:
II You can hold true to your
ideal, keeping your memory pure,
working silently and certainly,
giving what service you can spare
to aid the suffering near you and
preparing your art with all the
strength You can summon, the day
is coming when all the world,
streaming away from you now,
will stream back to you, beseech-
ing you for Beauty.
The Day Of the Artist is at hand!
For the artist who has been faith
full, who has not been overcome
by disillusion and fear Of loss, but
who has worked steadily on
starving for love II necessary
starving for living II necessary
he will triumph in the end.
The swing back of humanity IS
as certain as the war.
Artists, Be Ready.
Humanity starves you now, tax
ing away the love and response
that YOU need; but humanity will
turn to you, hungry itself, on that
Day.
Beauty and Truth in a brim-
ming measure!
Will you artists be ready, them
to give, and give and rejoice in
giving?
Yes, you will. They call you
cyclists only because they do not
know your gifts. They call you so
because your giving is not their
giving. With what you have to
give you are generous-abundant
-overflowlnR.
When your Day comes your hap
piness will lie in giving. And all
the world-weary and sick-will
turn to you for your music and
YOUR poetry-and your art
craving again the divine solaee oil
Beauty.
Work. All you artists
Steadily and silently work. and
make your gifts more perfect.
When you meet each other. don't
heap bitterness upon bitterness,
hut lcok each other deeply in the
eyes, exchanging courage and
faith, and silently pledge each
other with the TRANSPORTED words:

n IGAT 10 the mothers you are
M the ones whose suffering is
the deepest from this war.
You are shaken to your depths,
and, with every nerve quiverIng,
you are thrown out Of your crea-

You have lost your spiritual
rapport with humanity. for nine
teen-twentieths OF the life current
Of the world has gone in the war
direction-your listeners and your
watchers-have gone, their atten-
ton is somewhere else.
You are like a man trying to
talk down telephone with no one
at the other end.
Keep Your Faith!
Tis present lack Of attention
seems to you to annihilate you. It
shakes your faith in yourself
sometimes it almost shakes your
faith in art.
No one wants art now.
No one wants what you can give.
No one wants You.
You feel spiritually starved, for
the artist is fed from the love
given to his cres.ion-and love has
turned away.
Many OF you, indeed, are starry
ing in actual fact, because the
world has turned away from art.
1t is one of the most terrific ex-
periences TO pass through-to be
feeling as you do, so discouraged
from the current of life, left behind
to struggle with disillusion, or with
the alternative of throwing yourself
and your talent into the service of
war.
For the truth is the war hasn't
infected you. You do not share
the war spirit You are not so
cial" 1 nthe ordinary sense OF the
word.
You do not participate.
You do not belong to any par
ticular time or place.
Art is Your home.
So you have always been called

You never share the actual bur
den.
