WIRELESS PLANTS
ARE FEW IN CITY
Order Requiring Apparatus
0iSmantIed viii Not Affect
South Bend Much.

The order issued by Pres't Wilson
TO the effect that all wireless
plants for Nhich no place can be
found I'm the navy's wireless system,
including amateur apparatus. for
which close search will be made,
are TO be put out Of commission
Immediately" will have little effect
on amateur wireless operators in
south Bend, most OF the young men
having dismantled their apparatus
during the past several months.
The presidents order is as fol-
lows:
Whereas. IL Is necessary TO oper-
ate certain radio stations for radio
communication by the government
and 20 close other radio stations not
so operated. TO insure the proper
conduct Of the war against the inn
perial German government and the
successful termination thereof.
Now. therefore, IL is ordered by
virtue Of authority vested in me by
the act 20 regulate radio cOmmum-
cation approved August. 1912, that
such radio stations within the juris-
dictiOr OF the United States as are
required for naval communications
shall be taken over by the govern
ment OF the United states and used
and controlled by T.. 10 the exclu-
sion Of any other control or use. and
Furthermore. that all radio stations
not necessary 20 the government II
the United States for naval commu-
nlcation may be closed for radio
communication.
THE enforcement OF this order
ig hereby delegated 20 the secre-
tary OF the navy. who is authorized
and directed TO take such action in
the premises as TO him may appear
necessary"
Probably the only local amateur
sets that would have been affected
by the above order from Washing
ton are the Y. NJ G. a set. the
High school Wireless clubs set and
the set owned and operated by Roll
land Glavin, us Lawndale av..
probably the only licensed radio OPP
orator in the city. Young Glavin,
when seen Saturday, stated that he
had received no communication
whatever concerning the taking
down OF his set. Glavin also said
that probably out 81 the 10 or more
stations about town only one or two
would. an his estimation, be affected

these stations in charge. being eX-
perienced enough in the work 70

naming sets. Glavin declared. be-
long TO boys who are inexperienced

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
 ATLYCEUM THURSDAY

We'll, we'll, well! Look who's here. None other than our old friend, Doug las Fairbanks. the smiling, ever ready, daredevil, smile copyrighter, in his very latest motion picture of- fering, 'The Man From Painted Post" Douglas is going to make his return appearance at the Lyceum theater Thursday, and will remain here Fri day and Saturday, just to accommo- date his hundreds of friends. They could never get into the theater in two days so he will be here one day extra in order to give everybody a chance.
 Fairbanks always shines in a vest ern role, and in this story he is~per- fectly at home, enacting the part of Fancy Jim SherWood,' professional bad-man cleaner-up. His experi- ences in landing a man for whom he has sought since his early youth, and his efforts to win the heart and hand of the girl he loves furnish the theme for one of Fairbanks best yet. Just give Douglas a lively horse or an op- portunity to perform a difficult stunt, and you have him at his best; add in a little sentiment just to balance things, and Douglas is unbeatable.
 In ''The Man From Painted Post'' he has all these, and is given a chance for comedy action of his most rollicking sort. He retains the cen ter of the spotlight throughout the story, and deserves the chief place of Illumination. Anyone who has ever seen & Fairbanks picture will agree that the famous and justly popular actor deserves all the credit coming to him.
 In order to catch cattle thieves he visits their section purporting to be an easterner who recently bought a ranch there. The cowboys. give him a good time" and while so do- ing, Fairbanks puts over his comedy work. What with falling in love with the school teacher, cleaning Up the gang and getting revenge on his sis ter's murderer, he has quite an excit- ing time. 'T1e Man From Painted Post" will be the feature of the week in theatrical circles, and there will be no increase in price.

TROUBLED CROSSED"
 DRAMA OF THRILLS

Action, thrills and suspense, the l three big ingredients of a successful dramatic motion picture production are contained in Pauline Frederick's latest feature, Double Crossed,,''
 which will head the program at the Lyceum theater today and tomorrow. Miss Frederick, playing the role of a young wife who is willing to sacrifice her honor. to save that of her hus- band scores a big individual success, and the story itself carries one along with delicious rapiditg, while the out come hangs in mid-air until the last flicker. }.. Double Crossed relates the story of a woman who outwits a strong political clique, members of which have an evil influence over her hus- band With signed confession of a theft he committed in his youth, they are to force him to commit an- him, and keeps the desired papers where they can do no harm. This is a big, pulsating, gripping story of po- ;litical crookedness and social intrigue and has a theme that strikes home. You will like it's backgrounds of poli- tics, burglary, society and love, you will admire Crauford Kent, the young stock broker who is willing to sacri- flee all to retain the love of his wife, and you will love Pauline Frederick for herself

I wonder if there Is any direction in which people differ more widely than their allowance of that quality which seems to have no other name as adequate as the slang word "cheek'
 There are some people so lacking in it and so high spirited that the bare suspicion that they are not want ed anywhere or that anyone thinks they are imposing upon him or her, is like the lash of a whip to a sen sitive horse.
 And there are other people so de- liberately thick skinned, so richly padded with cheek that they will en- truding or imposing.
 Let me tell you three authentic in- stances.
 A young girl went to visit her cousin, a young married woman with two children, much hospitality, and small means.
 She Didn't Need Her Pocketbook.
 She stayed three weeks (she was invited, I believe for one) In all that time she never took her hostess anywhere, never paid a carfare, nev- CT brought any little thing to the children. Once when they were go- ing out, her hostess who was a very generous, easily imposed on person and couldn't bear to give more than the gentlest hint, asked her guest if she didn't want to take her pocket book which was lying on the table "Oh no," she said cheerfully, II won't need it for anything Incidentally she considered helping with the dishes all she was called upon to do in the way of work though her hostess who kept no maid was busy from morn ing to night. When she left she in- vited her hostess to come and visit her in the country, few weeks later. The latter began making her plans to do so but she never paid the visit for
