ANNETTE KELLERMANN CAN'T
EVEN WEAR A WRIST WATCH
Dog Impressed Into Service 10 Carr,
Diving Venus Ting
Piece

So anxious is the public to view
Annette kellermann' matchess
charms that Miss Kellermann could
not wear even wrist watch during
the filming of "A Daughter of the
Gods" William FoXs screen fantasy
now playing at the Lyric theater.
The consequence is that Miss Kell-
ermann has today the only really
genuine watchdog in the world. This
goes literally.
No one was in such a quandry for
a time, and for the time, while the
spectacle was being made, as the star
of "A Daughter of the Gods" herself
She was i'm doubt as to the horo-
logical conditions until the ever-pre-
sent Kellermann superefficiency mani
tested itself and solved the problem
Miss Kellermann brought the much
maligned wrist watch into its own
altho the many honest-to- goodness
reasons advanced by its male ad-
herents did not carry the conclusive
weight to sway public opinion in its
favor
While "a Daughter of the Gods
was in work, Miss kellermann found
it extremely difficult to keep account
of the exact hour of rehearsal and
conferences, and had still more trou-
BILE in timing her numerous dives.
The reason for the Fox stars pre-
dicament will be apparent on a mo-
mcnt's thot.
As everyone knows. Miss Keller
mann is not overburdened with an
excess of costume. She could defy
the rocks. the waves and the sharks,
but not the public.
A wrist watch seemed out of the
question until she thot of Coo-ee, her
little English bulldog. CoO-ee follows
Miss Kellermann everywhere. The
day was saved.
Fifteen minutes of coercion and
pleading induced Coo-ce to present
his right leg, and thenceforth he
strutted around Jamaica with the
watch strap tied firmly to his north
eastern limb.
The innovation was so popular with
Miss Kcllermann and her watch
bearer, that she continued the custom
begun in the West Indies. And in
all the world. there is no canine
prouder than Coo-ee.

HOW MANY GERMANS CAN
LICK A LONE AMERICAN? ?
Tcuton at Bixby Talks Too Much
Being Fed With Spoon

An unruly German. who lives near
Bixby, had the idea that the German
people were possessed with prowess
which enabled them to meet and over
come the rest of the known world. A
few days ago he left his farm and
wandered near an oil well where a
true son of the stars and strips was
engaged in his work.
well now" said the German,
wouldn't that beat you-the Ameri-
cans are being used in the French
trenches. It's all foolishness to send
the Americans to the front-why. one
German can lick six Americans over
there"
The driller peeled off his coat and
started to come down the rig. That's
funny, they can't do it here" re-
marked the driller as he rolled up his
sleeves.
According to the latest reports the
Germans wife is still feeding him
with a spoon.

There are many things In common
between the white people and the In

We believe in the same God, the
brotherhood of man. We believe that
God created all things and that we
must answer to him for our misdeeds
There have been many changes in
conditions since | became acquainted
with the white people When | first
knew them they accused the Indians
of using too much paint. But now
the Indians cannot use it. The white
ladies have monopoly on paint
which has made the price so high the
Indians cannot afford to purchase it
There is one difference betwCer
the white 'ecple and the Indians tha'
We notice very much. The white peo
