New York, May 24.-Les Darcy. the
Australian pugilist who died in Mem
phis today, arrived in this country
on a tank steamer December % last
year. There were rumors to the ey-
tent that Darcy had left Australia
surreptitiously to avoid joining the
British army, and Governor Whitman
issued an edict forbidding the Aus
tralian champion to appear in any
glove contest in the state of New
York. Meanwhile bouts were being
promoted between Darcy and promi-
nent light-heavy-weight and middle
weight boxers, but none of these ma
tured.
Darcy never appeared in real ring
contest in this country and the only
opportunity he had of exhibiting his
prowness was ON brief theatrical
tours giving boxing exhibitions.

looks like a great Chinese lantern
on the end of pole. The lantern
part is the chamber where the
photographer is stationed. The pole
part is a tube through which the
photographer climbs down into his
camera chamber.
THE tube is chained to a ship
which moves hither and thither at
the signals of the men beneath the
water. The camera at the bottom
of the tube is placed behind a
circular window that has specially
made glass, strong enough to bear
the water pressure, yet thin enough
TO permit phOtographing through 1t.
THE boat then moves around,
towing the tube containing the cam
era and the operator just turns the
crank and gets his great pictures.
There is no mystery or trickery to
the system. A standing offer of
$4,000 is in a New York bank to be
paid by Carl Laemmle, president of
the Universal Company, to anyone
proving any part of the picture a
fake. Residents of Fargo will have
a chance to look over the much dis
cussed picture at the Orpheum thea
ter on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

the entire receipts Of the productions

marked was the success in Canada,
that Uncle Sans ally has loaned this
juvenile aggregation Of war workers
to fatten the recruiting fund in the
northwest. The children are travelling
under the patronage of the Canadian
government.
The merit of the production, as
heralded from other cities, coupled
with the merit of the cause is expect

Bismarck. N. D., Nov. NV. c.
Edwards of the state examiners Of
flee left yesterday for Helena, Mont,
to make an examination of the Bank
ers' Insurance Co. at the request of
the company. The Bankers, which
has had a great amount of trouble
in adjusting it's 1917 drouth claims
in this state, contends that 1t is
mailing out drafts to policyholders
as rapidly as losses can be esti-
mated. 1t declares as investigation
of it's books will prove the truth of
this assertion. The state examin-
er's office is concerned through a
circular recently mailed to the state
banks requesting that they with
hold payment on certificates of de-
post issued in lieu Of notes given
by policyholders until the Bankers
has satisfied the state of its good
faith. This circular was followed by
the garnishment OF state bank
reserves in twin city banks. Mr..
Edwards goes to Helena at the ex-
pense Of the insurance company.

In the effort to make him reveal
his fathers plans-Of which he is en-

AS the heroine of the film play
Miss owen proves to be a feminine
Bill Hart. She appears first as a
heart breaking coquette and later as
the prOprietress Of a sheep ranch in

transition with perfect ease and
seems as much at home in a saddle
as in a drawing room divan. AS a
fighter Miss Owen shows that
she can hold her own with the
she is seized by the foreman of the
ranch, she makes her escape by
strong arm" methods from her as
sailant and gallops madly away on
horseback. In this scene a chase en-
sues, and to elude her pursuers Miss
Owen makes her mount swim across
a lake.
She goaded the animal into the
shallow water and expected him to
swim the rest of the way. AS the
deeper water was reached the steed
sank into the mud until he was I'M
able to extricate himself and found
cred helplessly. No one but Miss
Owen realized the pFedicament she
was in, but she resolved not to let
the accident spoil the scene and
struck out to swim to the other side
Of the lake without the horse. The
camera man had the presence of
mind to keep the camera focused on
the swimming girl, and the photo

and realistic the director decided to
incorporate it in the picture without
change.

AN OLD MANS STOMACH.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands Of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of IS or so, you
will find that he is a light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform it's
functions naturally. They also cause

Heights Citizens Association, asking
that the name of the Mount Pleasant
playground be changed to columbia

day by the board to Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes. supervisor of Fairgrounds.
II is believed that no objection will
be placed in the way of the change
proposed by the citizens body Mrs
Rhodes stated that when the Mount
Pleasant playground was established,
II was on land lying within the Mount
Pleasant limits, which had been loaned
to the District for playground purposes
but which had subsequently been used
by the owners for building, and that
the ground was then transferred to its
present site at the southeast corner
of 14th street and Columbia road,
within the Columbia Heights territory,
but that the old name had been re-
tanned.

Enthusiasm of the children of the
johnson School is largely responsible
for the success of that building in its
collections of old papers, according to
members of its faculty. The Johnson
School has been one of the heaviest
contributors of papers to the fund for
Fairgrounds and other social activities.
I'VE have made no special effort at
our school TO work up a rivalry be-
tween the classes or anything of that
Sort, said one of the teachers there to-
day. THE children have been most
enthusiastic concerning the plan from
the very beginning. however.
I'VE talk to the boys and girls from
time to time concerning the collec-
lions. Of course. We have tried to eX-
plain to them the full significance of
the entire proposition.
They themselves have given hearty
support They have been active in
collecting the papers, and to them must
be attributed the great portion of the
success of the school,"
Nearly 5000 pounds of paper was COL
lected yesterday. The Carbery School
led with a contribution of S17 pounds.
The Thomson won second place with a
collection of 571. and third place was
gained by the Van Buren, with con-
tributicn of SIG pounds.
