NationaI-"Have n Heart


Have a Heart" Is a rollicling example
OF the American-made girls-and-music
show, containing so much that il spark
ling, and so much that Is invigoratins,
that there Is no temptation to criticise
the weeks o1ering at the National The
ater.
Thanks to Jerome Kern's tuneful, MT
ing, and irresistibly '-whistly'' music;
Billy Van, and a strong lineup OF clever
players; and a handsome scenic and Sar-
toriaI production, Have a Heart" proves
to be a triumph.
To enumerate all the events and tea-
lures on the program would require more
space than we are allotted, so do not
censure too harshly II we only mention
those personalities and happenings which
seemed to US most interesting and attrac-
tive.
Have a Heart" concerns a young mar
ried couple who have arrived at what
seems to be a parting OF the ways, and
all on account of hubby's rather too dem
onstrative sympathy for "the poor work
ing girl" as exemplifed in the case OF
pretty saleslady employed in his store.
A divorce is impending when husband
and wife meet Unexpectedly and discover
that they are more in love with each
other than each suspected.

and kept the house In a continual uproar
throughout the evening. Katherine Gal

made Look in His Eyes and Tell Ne,

Dresser's blond beauty was a big asset of
the show, and Marie HoIlywel was an
other pretty charmer.

Moore's strnnd-.womanhood.v ~

'Womanhood, the Glory of the Ma
tion," the most deliberately conceived
and staged film drama ever offered
the Washington public, was continued
at Moore's Strand Theater yesterday
for another week to large crowds.
At this time the picture is most ap-
propriate and well calculated to stir
the public pulse and rouse intense pa
triotic spirit. "Womanhood" Is the
Joint work of Commodore ]. Stuart
BlHckton and Cyrus Townsend Brady,
and is an impassioned plea for pre-
paredness. The story Is in no wise
overdrawn, and pictures a condition
that, in view of the present interna-
tional crisis, may overtake this coun-
try at any moment
''Womanhood" has met with a won
derfully hearty reception at the Strand
Theater. and from the prologue to the
hnal scene OF the picture applause and
cheers are incessant. At such a vital
time as the present. with this great
peace-loving country at grips with the
most powerful and unrelenting mill
tsry machine of all times, Woman
hood should be seen by every loyal
American in this city, for IL cannot
help but awaken every spark of love
for the land of the free and the home
OF the brave"
From an artistic viewpoint the pic
ture is all that could be desired, and
realism Is lent to the battle scenes by
Uncle Sans Atlantic fleet and many
troops of the American soldiers. An
especially arranged musical score Is
finely rendered by. the augmented
Strand Symphony Orchestra The the
ater Is elaborately and beautifully dec
GRATED, both inside and out, and the

MEETS DEATH NEAR
WILSON CREEK.

Miss Cook, school teacher in the
Timm bistroct, was instantly killed
in an auto accident Tuesday even
ing about nine o'clock. Miss Cooks
school term had just expired and
she was on her way to Wilson Greek
to take the eleven o'clock train for
Seattle, with Mr.. Herschal, bachel-
or living in the vicinity of the Timm
school house. While going up a
slight grade a few miles north of
Wilson Greek a horse ran in front
of the car and before Mr.. Herschal.

which threw Miss Cook from the car
and in the fall she struck her head
on a rock fracturing the skull.
She died instantly. Miss Cooks
brother arrived here from Seattle
this morning and will take the re-
mains back there with him for bur-
ial. Beside the brother that is here
she leaves two sisters in Seattle and
her father in California. Miss Cook

Attractive Dress Not Enough.

Why don't the women stand straight,
hold up their heads, throw their shoul-
ders back and look at you as the
queens that they are? AS rule, they
depend upon their dress, their hats,
gloves, shoes, waiosa. to sl9sss1 t''--ssa
look attractive and neglect that fea-
ture of their appearance that is most
important-their carriage and their
bodily form. There are too many hol-
low chests and stoop shoulders going
about. The women should think more
of themselves than of the fashions and
thus make womanhood appear at it's
very best. 1t is not the finest dresser
who is the most beautiful woman

TO WHOM 1T may CONCERN:

On Tuesday, June 5, every male
person who has passed his 21st birth
day and has not reached his 3lst
birthday must call personally at the
place of registration designated by
the sheriff in his home precinct and
register for military duty.
Doing this is not optional; it is
mandatory; no excuses will be ac".
cepted and persons failing to regis
ter will be arrested by the sheriff
and prosecuted in the United States
courts; the penalty is not to exceed
one years imprisonment.
Only about one person in 20 re-
gistering will be actually called a.

moned for military duty and it is
probable that all married men or
persons with relatives DEPENDENT
upon them as well as those physi-
cally unfit for duty will discharged.
These exemptions will be settled
later. All must register.
On Thursday, May "a, all male Pc
rsons within the age limits named
who are sick and will probably be
unable to go to the place of regist-
ration on June 5, must send a mes
senger to the county auditor, who
will make known tie procedure to
be followed.
On Thursday, May "a, all male
persons within the age limits named
who are travelling or otherwise not
sure that they will be at home on
June 5, must secure from the county
auditor registration card which he
must properly fill out and send to
the registration agent in his home
precinct. Responsibility for seeing
that these cards are mailed in time
to reach the registration officer on
June 5, rests upon the absentee.
1t is the duty of every American
citizen to see that every person re-
quired by law to register does so
and knowledge that anyone who
should register has failed to- do so
should be communicated to the sher-
iff Immediately after June 5.

SUBMARINE PROBLEM.

The New York Times not long ago
pictured civilization as confronting
the scientist, pointing at the sub
marine stain upon its dress and say
ing: "Youre responsible for this.
Now take it outp'
1t begins to look a little as if the
creator of this marine Frankenstein
of frightfullness had at last hit the
means of curbing or destroying its
destructiveness. Not only is Simon
Lake reported to have invented "a
mercantile submarine which will be
practicable and profitable for COM
mercial uses thus nullifying the sub
marine blockade of traffic by means
of surface cargo-carriers, but
Sperry, the real inventor of the gy-
roscope which made the airplaTie
foolproof, is credited with having
invented a destroyer of the subma-
rine.
Details as to this reported invent
ion of course are kept secret If it
be an ae.uality and success, the
public need not expect information
about the nature for several months.
Political and naval considerations
would forbid divulging such facts.
Watchful waiting is requisite. Sur
prise may be expected to be employ
ed in connection with this supposed
submarine destroyer. But hopeful
ness is justified, partly because such
successful inventors as Edison, Lake
and Sperry are at work upon the
submarine problem.
No American lives at whom the
submarine may look with greater
apprehension than Elmer A. Sperry
of Brooklyn. Remarkable invent
ions already stand to his credit.
They have had capacity for mill
tary servicableness. For many
months he has devoted himself to
study of the submarine problem.
His stabilization of the airplane by
the application of the principle of
the gyroscope won the $4,000 prize
at the French areo club in 1914.
Another of his successful inventions
is the latest areial torpedo. 1t would
seem moarlly certain, on the mathe
matical principles of probability,
that it cannot be long before such

" OLYMPIA, Wash, May 24-At The
request of Governor Liste', the 81
2ervisio Of the MILITARY registration

Governor Hart, thus giving the Gov
ernor more tie to attend to the many
added duties of his office incident to

as these officials will be on duty

ion. Such an invention would prove
as effective in waging war as throw

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM FOR
DECORATION DAY, may 50.

Next Wednesday, May 30th, will
be red letter day in the history of
Coulee City and vicinity. Memorial
day will mean more to this genera
tion than it has ever meant before.
At ten o'clock will occur big pa
rade of the Sunday School and the
public school children led by an
army bugler and a drummer. At
eleven A. M. there will be big
meeting at Gregg Hall with special
music and patriotic songs by the
audience. An army bugler will give
the U. S. A. bugle calls from Rev
ellie" to Taps. Following the mu-
sical program will be an address
from one of our army officers from
Spokane, Major Ennis, and, if time
permits, other speakers. The Major
will doubtless present the matter of
advantages of home guard in the
course of his address. Everyone is
requested to bring lunch, unless
dinner at the restaurant would be
preferred. Let us make Wednesday
big picnic day. The time from
one p. M. till two-thirty will be de-
voted to the decoration of graves.
AT two-thirty will take place the or
ganization of a local Red Cross by
one of the Spokane officials. This
is an exceedingly important occ-
aston as we'll as one of exceeding in
terest. Make a sacrifice, if necess-
ary to be in Coulee City on that day.
The official announcement that
even alien enemies must register, al
though they will not be drafted, fur
nishes a sufficient answer to all
those who have an idea that certain
favored individuals may be declared
exempt under the provisions of the
conscription law recently passed by
congress.
K, Washington entertains no illus
ions on that score. 1t regards the
law as so sweeping that no exempt
ions are possible, save as laid down
in the measure itself. In particular,
it emphasizes the fact that every
man between the ages of twenty
one and ..s,is'tssf, inclusive, must pre-
sent himself on June 5 for registra-
ton, unless he desires to lay him
self liable to severe penalties carri-
ed in the act itself.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
who has charge of the registration,
says the registrars will drop per-
manently from the list those who
have been obvious disqualifying
physical defects, such as the alb
sence of a leg or an arm. However,
this is as far as the power goes. All
other claims for exemption will be
passed upon by the local boards and
each case will be considered on its
merits.
1t is not the intention of the gov
ernment to impose undue hardships
upon any individual. While Gen
eral Crowder consuls the availables
not to "hide behind petticoats or
children to avoid service" the fact
remains that the federal authorities
will strive to make their selections
in such manner as not to penaliZe
dependents or impose undue bur-
dens upon American communities.
However, these are matters to
come before the local boards. They
will decide upon the merits of the
exemption statements submitted by
individuals. The latter have no au

PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday May

AA<l AAA4A, NNSohSoooJ A'Aoy
23.-Tales of a desperate encounter
with a German submarine off the
north coast of Africa were told by
sailors of a British freight steamer
which arrived at this port yesterday.
The battle with the undersea boai
took place shortly before daybreak
on the second day out.
In the darkness the two boats
maneuvered about the British steam
ers gunners locating the hostile
craft only by the glare that went up
as she fired volley after volley from
her small guns. Officers of the
steamer declared the U-boat fired al
least sixty-three shells and then sent
a torpedo through the water. Ii
missed by a narrow margin.
The British gunners returned the
fire, the battle continuing until day
break. Then the U-boat fled toward
the African coast and submerged.
The freighter escaped without dam
age.

TO CONSERVE FOOD PRODUCTS.

Spokane-To assist in the con-
servation of food products and to
help provide farm labor, the agri-
cultural committee of the Spokane
chamber of commerce has begun
compiling information which will
be turned over to the commissioner
of agriculture, E. F. Benson and to
Henry M. White, of Seattle, state
Representative of the Uuited States
Department of Labor.
That the commercial clubs and
trade organizations throughout east
ern Washington will assist this
movement in every way, is assured
by the fact that most of them have
already endorsed the action taken
at the food production conference
held at Tacoma recently. AT this
conference it was deemed advisable
to compile all information possible
in regard to farm hands for the
coming harvest.
So many calls from farmers who
want help on the planting of their
farm work this. year have been
made that two students from the
State Agricultural college have been
employed to assist County Agent
Shinn.
These youg men hae begun their
work. They are furnished with
motorcycles and give their advice
gratis to any farmer who asks it.
They will be employed for two
months after which it is expected
that the county agent can handle
the situation. 1t is believed other
counties will follow suit as :. part of
the preparedness progrm.

they are exempt and will get no

order to dodge service.
On June the entire manhood of
the nation between the ages men
toned above must march to the app
ointed places and register. Ameri-
can-born and foreign-born, married
or single, the law applies equally to
all. The law contemplates no ex-
ceptions to this rule and all resi-
dents of the United States, whether
they do or do not possess reason
