Odd Titles Of Newspapers.

200 itIoS OF newspapers.
In Columbus, says the Dispatch. there
is man whose chief Joy is in collec-
ton of newspaper titles.
There are Headlights, Flashlights,
Bees, Eagles, Owls, Mirrors and News
Letters, but when it comes to Derricks,
Meddlers, Telescopes, Flags and Sun
beams the class is limited. In Hot
Springs there is published the Arkan-
sas Thomas Cat, and other titles just
as unusual are the Sledge Hammer,
the 1rrepressible. the Silent Worker
and Gall.
Frequently it is possible to tell from
the title of newspaper the state in
which it is published. For instance,
the Chieftain is in Oklahoma, the Rus
tier and the Lariat are in Texas, Big
Hole Breezes in Montana and the
Roundup in Wyoming.

Effect Of Rats N Food.

The Lahore (India) Tribune quotes q
Chinaman's explanation of the use of
rats for food purposes as follows:
"What carrot is to horses coat
rat is to the human hair. Neither
fact can be explained, but every horse
man knows that a regimen of carrots
! will make his stud smooth and lus-
trous as velvet, and the Chinese, es-
apecially the women, know that rats
used as food stop the falling out of
hair and make the locks soft, silky and
beautiful. I have seen it tried many
times"

The Spear In the rusk.

1t seems unbelievable that a sayase's
iron spear point seven and half inch
es long by one and half inches wide
has been found all grown over and per
fectly hidden In a big bull elephants
tusk. The savage had roasted up In
big tree over a spring where the ele-
plant came for water. Then he drop
ped this spear, weighted to fifty pounds,
SO as to strike the nape of the neck
and pierce the brain. Here the spear
went little to one side OF the brain
and into the big open funnel end Of
the root of the tusk, broke of and then
"growed" up In the ivory like nail TN
tree. The spear was found when the
fusk was carved.-Exchange.

Clever FootNork.

The harp soloist was in the middle
Of a brilliant solo, pastoral which
called for some very clever work with
the pedals used to secure chromatic
changes in the scales. This manipula-

the attention of many in the audience,

Grim italian Humor,

The poorest Italian has the sun in his
eyes and the geniali;y of the gods in his
smile, while his fatalistic stoicism and
keen sense of humor are something
never to be forgotten. remember, aft

ing man whose home had been de-

tatoes and chestnuts over hot spot in

his place. 'Gia! I have fine stove

PAULINE FREDERICK
In "HER BETTER SELF

The film play disclosed yesterday at
Loew's Columbia Theater will be appre-
ciated even more in Washington than in
other American cities. Quite aside from
the fact that it sets forth an exception
ally interesting story, Is extraordinarily
well acted by Pauline Frederick and the
cast selected for her support, and Is a
model of clear photography, Her Bet
ter Self'' deals with a situation that is
particularly timely today.
1t is the story of a debutante who
wishes to be Of some use in the world
an ambition that grips many Washing
ton women in these days of war prepara-
tlon-and 1t pictures society atmosphere
correctly, not with the display of bad
taste that has made so many so-caIled
society plays" particularly ridiculous in
the eyes of theatergoers in the National
Capital.
Miss Frederick is pictured as Vivian
Iyler. engaged to marry an Italian
nobleman. The girl grows restless under
the limitations of her career as a social
butterfly and interests herself in the well
rare of the poor. She meets and Is at
tracted by Robert Keith, a young ply
slcian who. also, is a volunteer welfare
worker. By chance she overhears the
story or girl who has gone wrong be-
cause of hopeless love for the young
doctor, and erroneously Jumps to the con-
cluslon that Keith has wronged the un-
fortunate young woman.
The erring sister commits suicide in a
private hospital. Miss Tyler witnesses
the act, and the shock brings on a dam
'gerous Illness. When she recovers, she
learns that Keith is in danger of convic- |
ton OF murder and she hurries to his de- |
tense. This leads to a well-worked-outl |
courtroom scene, realistically developed, |
ana to logical climax for the story.
Miss Frederick's acting has made the |
Dig scenes of the photoplay remarkably |
enective and convincing. Thomas Meig- |
nan has done equally good work in the |
role OF Robert Keith. Alice Holster, as /
the girl who went wrong, is the third i'm
portant member OF n decidedly well-se-
iected cast. Her Better Self" will hold
nrst place on the screen until Thursday.

REV. MARTIN breaches
FORWARD" DISCOURSE
Pleads for D. c. Representation in Con-
gress and Praises Gty's Papers.

"The war has made washington the
center Of the world" said Rev. ID. n
Martin, pastor of Wesley Chapel, last
night, In his sermon on ''washington's
Supreme Need in War Days" inspired
by the recent Forward Washington
campaign by the Chamber Of Commerce.
I'VE should have representation In
Congress" said the pastor. Taxation
without representation is not in keeping
with the ideals Of our government We
should be made to feel that we are ctu-
zens Of the District OF Columbia by hav-
ing the right to vote. Washington is
fortunate In the character of her news
papers. The press here unceasingiy
champions the rights of the people and
defends the interests of the city. The
business organiza tions of the city should
receive the hearty support Of all our
people in their endeavor to make this
a great and more efficient city.
"All elements should work In harmony
Our city has one fault, we are unor-
ganized and we are lost in a maze Of red
tape. The war Is bringing financial pros
perity Washington should encourage
business by bringing industries here
With industries will come people and
money. We need more money. We wenl
a city Of boosters, not a city Of kickers

1T was this way" the young man con-

this afternoon. The girl was assigned q
bath room and a bathing suit. When we
left the water, she found that every
piece of her wearing apparel had disap-
peared. She sent for me, and through
the closed door explained her trouble in
broken sobs. told her to lock herself
in and wait until returned. What shall
do, Mr. Detective?''
Run to the girls home" said Detec'
tive Burlingame, land tell her mother.
'T never thought of that" said the
young man, as he dashed out.
Later there was a telephone call from
the bathing beach. The man at the othel
end OF the wire said: There was a mis-
take about some one stealing the girl
