Proposes Travelling Units.

Legislation making 1t possible for
the Commission to make practical de-
monstrations before members Of the
families Of tubercular patients, while
az the same time giving local physi-
clans postgraduate training in the
detection Of the incipient disease and
doing active work toward its eradica-
tion, is proposed by DR.. w. L. Heizer
secretary oil the State tuberculosis
Commission, in his annual report, ap.
proved by the Commission here. He
suggests the creation of two travelling
units, each to be composed Of tactful
competent and resourceful physician,
skilled in tubercular examinations, ac-
companied by an experienced public
nurse and an assistant to do micro
scopical and clerical work. These units
could be sent into counties desiring
them and aid in manifesting a spirit
Of cooperation. They could visit fami.
lies OF persons thought to be afflicted
with the disease in company with the
family physician to give free examina.
tions, instruct the family physician
and make microscopical demonstra.
tons. The unit would spend sufficient
time in each community to do the
work thoroughly.

Soldier Boys Leave.

On Friday. Sept. q, at 7 o.
clock, a. M, the first contingent
of the drafted selects, compris-
ing about 40 of Morgan county's
finest young men, filed out Of
West Liberty enroute to Index to
take the train for Louisville where
they entered camp Zachary Tay-
lor and began an indefinite term
of service in the Army of the
United States. They were met
at Index by ten other boys who
remained at home with their fam
lilies the last night before leaving.
1t was an impressive scene as
the boys marched away, erect,
smiling and brave, in obedience
to their country's call. 1t was
attended, of course, by the usual
scenes at parting, and there were
few dry eyes and few voices that
were not husky in the large
crowd that had assembled to bid
them goodbye and God-speed.
A chorus sang America" and
the crowd cheered vigorously as
the boys marched away.
On the evening before their
departure they were given a re-
ception by the local Red Cross
chapter at the theatre. A splen-
did program consisting of vocal
and instrumental music, read
ings and speeches by Ed. l. F.
Coffee and Judge D. w. Gard

MARGUERITE CLARK AT
THE ISIS THEATRE TODAY

If you were told to make a role
both absurdly, swaggeringly mascu-
line, and yet appealingly feminine at
the same time, what would you reg
ister?" This was what little Mar
guerite Clark, "the sweetest girl in
motion pictures" faced when she
commenced rehearsals for her latest
Paramount picture, "The Amazons."
As Tommy" the daughter of the
Marchioness of Castlejordan, she
makes the most fascinating hoyden
ever caught by the eye of the camera,
and the tale Of her adventures, anus
ing and ro/antic, forms photoplay
seldom equalled in the history of film
dom. AS a comedienne, Marguerite
Clark showed unusual capabilities in
her recent production of "Miss George
Washington" and in "The Amazons"
she has more than lived up to the en-
thusiastic prophecies which were
made concerning her abilities at that
time.
In boys clothes, Tommy parade
through the village where he lives to
the standardization and secret delight
of the villagers, but when it comes to
the same antics in London-well. YOU
will have to see for yourself. Mar
guerite Clark, in nifty dress suit and
cleaning silk hat will appear at the
Isis Theatre today in "The Amazons -
You can't afford to miss Marguerite

LABORATORY WORK
OF A SCREEN STAR

In "The Question:" the Greater
Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature which
will be the attraction at the Bonita
Theatre tomorrow, Harry Morev. the
forceful leading man, is right in his
element. Mr.. Morey was born in
Michigan and studied for a time at
the state university at Ann Arbor.
1t was his ambition to become a
chemist until he surrendered to the
lure of the stage.
AS John Stedman, in "The Cues
tion," Mr.. Morey plays the part of a
young chemist, assistant and pupil of
an older and greater scientist. A
large part of the early action of the
story takes place in laboratory and
Morey. owing to his experience at the
university, works lust the same as he
did at school. This part of the pic
ture, Mr.. Morev says, gives him more
real fun than he has enjoyed in any
picture he has figured in.
"We had the real stuff in the lab"
he said, "and l had lot of fun try.
ing to work out some of the old for
mulae."
In making the picture, the Vita.
graph company used for its labera
tory scenes the "first aid' room. the
emergency hospital that is part of its
big Brooklyn studio. This hospital
is modern in everv respect and is
fully equipped TO handle emergency
cases, doctor and a nurse being on
duty at all times. In the making o.
pictures the actors and extra people
take a great many desperate chances
and as a natural result injuries are
frequent. The Vitagraph company is
