DARCYS FUNERAL LARGEST EVER
 HELD IN AUSTRALIA.

Unprecedented scenes were wit messed after the arrival in sydney of Les Darcy's body. The casket was exhibited at an undertaker's establishment in that city, and it is probable that hundreds of thou sands of persons passed through the temporary morgue and paid silent homage to Australia's late and deep Iy lamented idol. The crowd got out of hand at one time, so great was the crush, and some huge plate glass windows were pushed in and smash ed. Thousands of persons stayed outside for many hours at stretch in the hope. of seeing the late worlds champion. ~ A special mass was Held at St. Francis's Church, Woollahra q suburb of Sydney. and then tho body was removed to the scene of his childhood. West Maitland, a suburb of Newcastle, the great coal field of Australia. Hundreds ot thousands lined the roadway lead ing to the church, which was packed to suffocation hours before the ser vices commenced.
 There were many famous ek-box- CTS present at the service, who af terward marched behind the body to the railway station. The body was again exhibited in the casket al Maitland, and the little township was the scene of huge pilgrimage lasting three days. Special trains were run from Sydney, Newcastle and other points to the town or Sunday, July 1, when the funeral took place. The town was full up every vehicle being engaged days before the funeral, and every vacant room in the town being engaged by visitors. The last sad rites were per forneo before huge assemblage

Powerful Drama
 for Popular Star.

That the first picture made by Ger
 aldine Farrar as an Aircraft star will
 be far out of the beaten track and on
 an unusual scale of production, is the
 statement that comes from the Art
 craft Pictures Corporation.
 The title of the picture will be "The
 Woman God Forgot" It is a colorful
 and powerfully dramatic story of Az
 tee life. introducing the historic char acter of MonteZuma and releaving the
 splendors of his court. Jeanie Mac
 pherson, whose Joan the Woman
 made her one of the most talked about screen writers in America today. is the author of "The Woman God Forgot" and it will have the personal direction of cecile B. DeMilie.
 DeMiile and staff of research ex- perts have been at work for many weeks preparing data for effects and costumes. and it is expected the cost of the special settings which will be built will run into figures which might be considered excessive if they did not pertain to so magnificent and import ant production.
 Among the special sets is a tropical
 jungle. containing lake for water fowl. the whole fenced and covered with over 10000 feet of wire netting to prevent the escape of the animals and birds.

NO PIN MONEY FROM
JUNK FOR KIDDIES
City Judge Warns Them
Against Future Sale of
Rags, Old Iron, Etc.
DECISION COMES
IN STIRLITH CASE

The hearing Of Lawrence and Alex
ander Sterlith on the charges of buy
ing second hand personal property
from boys and operating a junk BUSH
ness without a license is extremely
important in its results to American
children
Under a decision given by Judge
Churchman in Municipal Court this
morning boys in this city no longer
will be permitted to collect and sell
rags, bones, old iron and brass, as has
been the heritage of boys from the
time boys we're invented. The court
so ruled in the cases in which John
and Alexander Sterlith were charged
with violating the pawnbrokers' act
in purchasing second hand material
from minors and without a license.
The testimony of several small Pol
ish boys that they had sold to Sterlith
old scrap iron, screws, bolts and
pieces Of brass lamps, which they had
gathered from ash dumps, opened the
question. After much argument and
the citation OF many authorities by
Philip L. Garrett as to the difference
between second hand material and
junk. the court ruled that the words
of the statute ANY second hand ma
terial whatsoever" meant just that.
How about old bones| inquired
Mr.. Garrett.
1.-THE question Of whether bones are
second hand when first used on the
creation OF an animal, and if after il
has got done using them they are
junk is simply ridiculous" replied
Judge Churchman.
Clerk OF the Peace John L. Wright
testified that the Sterlith Brothers had
a license to do business at the corner
of Front and Tatnall streets, hut I'M
til March 20, this year, had no license
for their branch at No. 613 West Front
street.
Each was held under nominal bail
for trial by the Court Of General Ses-
sions.

When You Feel Tired,

(BY W. NJ. GRANTIER, NJ. D.

If your wife tells you that you are
"grouchy" and out-of-sorts, be thank
full for the suggestion, and set to
work to get your liver busy for il is
more than likely that its inactivity is
at the bottom of your trouble. Don't
blame your liver for not doing its
work! You have undoubtedly been
giving il too much to do. You may
have occasional headaches, feel tired,
no appetite. and coated tongue, and
this condition may lead up to other
things. At such times you are the
easiest prey for colds, grip, or the
disease germs of malaria, typhoid,
the deadly phthisis. or the many ills
which carry of so many of our citi-
zens.
My advice is, give up alcohol, tea
and coffee. If you must drink some
thing with your meals let il be a cup
OF hot water. Begin in the morning
with a pint OF hot water with a half
lemon squeezed in it, if possible, and
drink in a half hour or less before
breakfast.
Take a few minutes of bending ex-
ercise and breathing in the morning.
Walk in the outdoor air Occasional
