ALEXANDRIA TODAY-~sAPHo.-

Pauline Frederick's immense follow
ing among FL Paso people will be
pleased to know that she will be at the
Alhambra two days in succession in two
different pictures. The picture today is
a return showing of ''Sapho." in which
Miss Frederick recently delighted Al
hambra patrons. This picture brings up
the question of, how is il that the huge,
Goliath style of man appeals to the
petite woman, that actors invaria bly,
marry missionaries and ministers
espouse chorus girls2 Can this be the
attraction of "oppOsites," OF which we
hear? At any rate it is clearly set forth
in Pauline Fredericks "Sapho,' IN
which she plays the part Of the butter
fly-woman who plays at love, fluttering
from one heart to another until she
finally chooses the quiet. studious Jean
Gaussin as the one real love of her life.
His companionship does much to
change her life for the better. and on
losing him, she abandons her career of
pleasure for that of Red Cross nurse,
showing that. after all. underneath the
shallow part of her nature, lay a big
heart and splendid character.
"Sapho" will be shown at the Alham-
bra today only. Prices are 1Oc, 15c and
25c.-Adv.

(From Farm. Stock and Home.)
Suppose, neighbors. we try to get
this thing right. A lot of us have
come from Germany where the gov
eminent, the social and economic sys-
TENS are different than they are here
in America.
We left the lands of our fathers for
very good and sufficient reasons
Perhaps with most of US the chief
reason was that we hoped here in
America to get ahead faster than we
could hope to, do in the old country.
Perhaps. too. some of us had
friends over mere who wanted US to
join them, and in sserderIto get us to
come perhaps they laid the bright col
ors on with a vigorous brush, and
perhaps to some Of us the bright Vi
sions have not all been realized.
And some Of us came to escape
military service: some of us to keep
out Of the political prisons that well
come people who do not agree with
the chosen of God: some of us as chill
dren, because our fathers came.
And some of us were born here:
We brought to America our packs
and wooden shoes, Jul religion and
our language, u distrust of all who
spoke in other tongues. and u burn
ing desire to be free.
To us freedom simply meant not to
be interfered with by the government.

We kicked off wooden shoes. We

GERMAN i'm THE SCHOOLS

The fact that we are at war with Germany is no
reason why any person who wishes to do SO should not
learn the German language. Whether one learns Ger
man or some other language, or none at all but his own,
is q matter which must be left largely to the pupil or
his parents. And, if the decision is to learn q foreign
language-and the study Of languages is a very useful
one-there is no sound general reason why that language
may not be German as well as any other. The one thing
to be insisted on in the study Of either German or any
other language is that in prosecuting the study. the
child shall not, either from instructor or text books. i'm
b1be principles which are contrary to sound Americanism.
There is, therefore, the very best of reasons why
school authorities should at this time scrutinize with ex-
traordinary care everything pertaining to the study of
the German language. A German workman in a factory
is not necessarily there for the purpose of blowing up
the plant But in view Of what we have already seen.
1t is inevitable that the German whose character and
antecedenfs are not thoroughly familiar to those with
whom he does business should be carefully observed
before confidence is reposed in him. Because of the one
desperate character abroad the ninety-nine honorable
men are unavoidably subjected to some measure Of Sis
picion.
The same rule must govern in the employment of in
struetors and the selection Of texts. We cannot carry
courtesy to individuals to the extent of running the risk
OF poisoning the minds of our children, and if care In
this respect involves some inconvenience. and even some
hardship to occasional individuals, that is one Of the
inevitable accompaniments of war.
