Painters Frenzy,

The painter-engraver, Alexander Luz
nois, who has just died, excelled in
oriental n He had passed half
his life in the lands of the Mussulman.
His works were full of light, full of
color, full of movement. During his
last illness, at Paris, where his ele-
CANT apartments looked out upon the
quay, he was on his couch burning
up with fever. From time TO time he
threw a glance upon a beautiful Van
Dyek. The picture was covered by a
glass. Suddenly in the reflections of a
glass of water he imagined that he
saw in the sparkling light a dance of
odalisques, such as in former days he
had seen in Constantinople. He could
not restrain himself. He leaped from
his bed and, all trembling, he seized
his palette, his brushes, and frantical-
~ set at work upon a marvellous
sketch. His wife found him nude save
for a slight covering over his Shout
ders, his eyes sunken, his teeth chat
tering, painting with the fury Of a
mailman. She led him back to his
couch. He died a few days later and
the last picture of the great artist re-
manned unfinished.-Le Cri de Paris.

1t is probable that few men in New
York of the great number who con-
stantly patronize hotels, restaurants
and theaters have any idea of the sum
of money they spend annually in tips.
The statement of the manager of q
large New York hotel that a man of
his acquaintance found that in FIVE
months he paid Sc in tips for a hat
that had cost him "a gives some idea
of this drain upon the average mans
income.
So lucrative is the checking privi-
lege In popular restaurants and SINH
lar places that the work is frequently
let out by competitive bidding, without
expense to the proprietor. But the
public pays, as in everything else.
No mar objects to tipping a waiter
for good service while at table, but
that a boy or a girl should get a
quarter-and in many places a less
sum stamps one a ''piker"-for the
mere service of hanging up a hat and
then handing it back when the check
Is presented seems a bit too much.
Maybe some day a wise manager will
abolish this abuse and see that the
persons who come to his place get
proper service without the additional
tarif.-New York Telegram.

FIRST IDEA FOR MOTOR CAR
Invention of GottIieb Daimler Was the
Germ From Which Sprang Pres
ent immense Industry.

Little more than thirty years have
passed since Gottlieb Daimler, then a
director of the Otto gas engine works,
invented the first engine worked by
explosions of gas.
1t was an engine worked at such I'M
heard-of speed-we are going back to
that time in using the epithet-that the
heat generated in the working was suf-
hcient to ignite the subsequent charges
Of gas nee the engine had been set
running.
In 1886 he mounted this engine on a
bicycle, s%uspending it vertically be-
tween the front and the rear wheels,
and making it drive the rear wheel by
a belt.
In this primitive motorcycle, for such
1t now appears to us, was embodied
the first real germ of the motor car
Of today.

ARE GIRLS BECOMING UGLY7
EngIIshman Makes the Assertion That
Beauty Is Fading as One Re-
suit cf War.

"Women will be not only physical
wrecks, but they will become decidedly
ugly If they continue to do mems work
for an indefinite length of time. They
will be unfit heirs to the heritage that
will be handed down to them"
The words were spoken with en-
phasis by a man who should have
known what he was talking about.
1t must be admitted that the health
and beauty Of our women are in these
troubled times suffering on a colossal
scale, but it is the wars strain and
not the nature of their work which is
causing the mischief. ANY work just
now must come as a blessing in dis
guise to the majority of our women.
The novelty of the duties of tram
guarding, working on the railways,
farm labOring and other kindred occu-
pations brings diversion, and in many
instances saves the reason of many
overanxious wives, sweethearts and
mothers.-London Answers.

WHO PRODUCES The METALS7
some Figures That Are Interesting in
View Of the Present Great World
Confiagration.

The national advantage of holding
premier rank among the worlds metal
producing countries has been accentu-
ated by the war. To both belliger-
ent and neutral nations the control of
the output of any metal has become
an Important asset, either through sup
plying domestic needs or by increasing
revenue through sales to neighbors less
fortunately situated. The international
scramble for metals has directed at
tention most forcibly to tie sources
of the worlds metal supply and has
brought into prominence some of those
that hitherto have been obscure or
relatively unimportant.
Among precious metals 60 per cent
of the worlds production of gold is
controlled by Great Britain. The
United States holds second rank with
30 per cent. In pig iron and steel the
United States easily holds first rank
with an average production Of about
40 per cent of the total. Germany
follows with about % per cent. Great
Britain is third and France and Rus
sla divide fourth place. The United
States stands prominently in the pro-
duetlon Of copper, lead and zinc. OF
late years we have produced about So
per cent of the worlds output of cop
per. We produce about one-third of
the total lead and about so per cent
the zinc in normal fines -Matol-

Maternity" a Brady-Made,
Comes to the Sun This Week

Based upon a theme that is Of tre-
mendous interest to every woman,
Maternity" will come to the Sun
theater Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, with Alice Brady as the star. The
story has consistent continuity and
sustained force. As the fear-stricken
young wife, as the courageous woman
who rescues little child from burn
ing hospital and as the proud and
happy mother, Miss Brady rises to
heights of dramatic art This fire
scene in which Miss Brady makes the
thrilling rescue is said to be one of
the most wonderful fires ever screened
for a motion picture. A big structure
was erected by the World Film cor
poration for the purpose Of being
burned and it was set on fire and the
picture taken about Q o'clock in the
morning. An idea of just how realis-
tcally this part of the picture was
staged may be gained when It is
realized that Miss Brady sustained
bruises and burns which laid her up
for a week. Little Madge Evans ap-
pears in this fire scene and, even
though it was so very exciting, she
was fast asleep two minutes after her
part of the work was over. "Matern-
ity" is the newest World Picture

Simple Plot With HomeIy

Lynn F. Reynolds, who has become
known as Bluebird's mature study"
director, has the rare faculty of maxi
ing excellent photoplay entertain
ment out of the simplest of plots.
Reynolds never brings the heavy viii
lain into focus in his film stories;
there are never any serious crimes in

ing the simple and logical stories Of
every day life, this is one director
who seems to have close touch with
the appealing side OF humanity.
Southern Justice" to be displayed
in Bluebird photoplays at the Hipp
theater today and Monday, will GER
tify the foregoing claims in interest
ing and attractive detail. The pre-
senting company will be led by George
Hernandez and Myrtle Gonzalez and
a story of real life in a small Ken
tuck town will be unfolded in simple
and homely details, set in natures

Mary Pickford in Great Drama
Will Shine at the Strand

"A Poor Little Rich Girl" will dis
close Mary Pickford in picture
which, although of typical Pickford
charm, presents the famous girl star in
a character quite different from any
thing in which she has appeared here
tofore. For instance, who ever heard
of Mary Pickford being regular
little bob-cat when 1t comes to fight
ing? Yet this is just wat po >
be the case in Little Mary's" new
film when a gang of street urchins at
tack her at her palatial home.
In the luxurious conservatory, with
its lily pond and gigantic palms, she
battles with half dozen sturdy
youngsters and finally sets them to
rout at the cost of much expensive
furnishings as we'll as her own i'm
maculate appearance. Bespattered
from head to foot with mud from the
erstwhile lily pond and severely
scratched. she stands triumphant as
the remains of the gang are set TO
flight The urchins used in these
scenes were instructed to give real
battle and in fighting them off the
popular little star has her hands full
in every sense of the expression-as
well as her teeth and feet. After this
fight Miss Pickford's activities for the
day at the studio ceased right then
and there and those who will witness
the affair on the screen of the Strand
theater commencing Tuesday and for
the balance of the week will easily TN
derstand why this was the case.

"Red Star" Workers Are Actiue;
Relief for Horses in War Time

equipment will be furnished through
the American Red Star Animal Re-
lief as fast as funds become avail
able. At least $250,000 will be needed
to carry out the work already out
lined for it by army officers.
The government has likewise made
it known that the aid of the Red Star
will be gretly appreciated in recruit
ing 1000 veterinarians for the veterin-
ary reserve corps. 1t is anticipated
that the mobilization OF an army Of
100000 men. even though not sin
gle cavalry regiment Is recruited, will
require at least 100000 animals. The
government at this time has only TO-
900 animals on hand. The staff Of
100 veterinarians in the regular army
has all it can do to care for the ami
mails now in regular service. The
purchase of 100000 additional ami
mails will require large staff Of
veterinarians to safeguard them from
disease and give them such attention
as may be needed in case OF accident
or surgical treatment.
The work in Europe has demon
strated that army animal relief is OF
a very practical nature. The Royal
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals has already expended
100000 in its special campaign and
the government has requsitioned sup
plies from it to the extent of $780,
900 more. The work has been car
ried on so efficiently that it has won
the approval of the highest English
officials. Sir Douglas Haig has given
the work of this English society his
stamp of approval in the following
terms: 81 take this opportunity of
rendering my best appreciation and
thanks for the very valuable assist
ance which the society has rendered
to the army veterinary service in, al
leviating animal suffering and pre-
venting wastage of animal life"

who plays Margaret in the serial pre-

this is one of the deftest touches in
the piece.
"In the picture" she said recently
"it had to be shown that Margaret
was driven reluctantly to accept the
husbands attention. She is an essen
tally pure, well-principled woman
a writer bound up in her art, utterly
unavaricious, ascetic rather than
sensuous. How could such a woman
stray from the path1
"Why, simply through loneliness
Every woman is in terror of being
alone. Every woman demands little
affection, little warmth, from some-
one. If Margaret had had home,
family, friends-well, there wouldn't
have been any picture. But there was
no one, until Kennedy, the husband,
came. She didn't feel especially drawn
to him, she didn't love him as she
later came to love Norwood. But he
did stand out in the dark world that
encircled her as the one human being

Albany, N. Y, May 26.-Theodore

dore Roosevelt has Just written the
director general, with headquarters in

prove of the proposed organization OF
the American Red Star Animal Re-
lief. 1t seems to me an abhorrent
thing not to do everything we can
do for the horses and other animals
used in war;" General Wood like
wise appreciates the Importance OF
such an organization and writes:
"Your undertaking is an admirable
one and, if effectively carried out in
time of war, its influence will be felt
not only from the humanitarian stand
point, but from the standpoint of ef-
fciency."
Intense activity marks the efforts OF
the officers of the American Red Star
Animal Relief to secure the needed
equipment for veterinary hospitals,
which must soon be placed at the dis
posal of the army, in its army animal
relief work. There has come an un-
official request from a high army Of
hcer for fifteen horse-drawn horse
ambulances' which may be placed at
the disposal of different training
camps that have been planned. Funds
for the purchase of these are being
collected. In some instances, branches
Of the Red Star or groups of patriotic
citizens are agreeing to present one
Or more such ambulances to the Red
Star.
Veterinary hospitals will be erected
at the various concentration camps,
built similarly to those used in all
the armies of the allies. They will
have capacity varying from 100 to
! 900 animals. Sheds opened on three
sides, with runway down the CEN
ter, will house 100 horses each. They
will be built of wood and corrugated
iron. Each hospital must be supplied
with an ambulance, a supply wagon,
a feed cart; besides brooms, rakes,
forks, shovels, buckets, currycombs
and brushes. Great quantities of sur
