William N. Selig has instructed
that every film released under the
Diamond S" trademark carry an
ending presenting a direct appeal to
patriotism. This ending Is a pictorial
in plastic art in which the soldiers
in the trenches are shown and an
American flag is seen floating. Fad
ing in comes the patriotic admoni-
tion; "Do your bit. Buy a liberty
bond!" Ultimately this appeal will
reach millions of people through the
medium of moving pictures. A pho
tograph of the pictorial work and an
outline of the idea has been furnished

Favorite Appears
Six or seven weeks ago, when captain
Hogan first started football practice Tor tne
Marines the navy men stationed IN the
navy yard began their preliminary gridiron
training That is they started, but falllns
to receive any encouragement, dropped the
idea for awhile, until Upton Favorite,
Penn player of '07 and 0S, became inter
ested in them. Since that time the football,
germ has made great headway and has
taken possession OF many men.
Under the direction of Fayorite and Chap
lain Murphy the football squad was reorgan'
ized. Practices are now held each after
noon on the aviation grounds. The greatest
handicap was the lack of the necessary
equipment. including footballs head guards
and moleskns. The men, inspired through
the efforts of Coach Favorte and Chaplain
Murphy. kept striving for places OH the
team. Two weeks ago a war cha ity was
kind enough to send twenty-five football
suits down TO the training station with
