The military salute had a curios
origin If the tradition brought to light
:. by q. S. Marine Corps officers at their
headquarters here may be believed,
The navy soldiers say that the salute
originated in the days of the tourna-
.ment, at which a queen of beauty was
chosen to preside. The knights and
their esquires and all who took part
in the tourney, on presenting them
selves before the queen, lifted each
one hand level with the brows as
though dazzled by the light OF her
presence.
Although its significance has been
forgotten that same salute is now be-
ing used by military men in recogni-
ton of a superior rank; the Marine
officers say.

providing material that will satisfac-

Her breezy and charming courtship
of the bashful young man is amusing,

ton.
According to arrangements with
Mr.. Lasky, this production was made
in the Famous Players-Lasky studios
with Mr.. Robert Leonard as direc-
tor. The story leads with the adven-
lures Of pretty Justine Gibbs, play
ed by Mae Murray. Justine is a
very attractive and highly American
type of young woman who rebels
against prearranged marriage and
follows the dictates of her heart. It
is essentially comedy and the story
is really based upon the efforts Of
the young woman to win the heart of
a young writer so absorbed in his
work that the heroine must take him
by storm. A great deal of the charm
of the story lies in the quaint and hu-
morous scenes between the absent
minded young writer and the impe-
tuous heroine.
The writer is at work upon a story
which closely follows his own and
Justine's adventures and it monopo-

Whereas, by act Of Congress a
