strikingly spectacular settings and
evidence of tremendous money expen-
ditures to- get fantastic effects, 1.-THE
Masque of Life won instant public

interest.
~ Though from its name many would
suppose THE Masque of Life" to be a
costume play, 1T is really a drama of
the most modern sort, having as its
basis the love of a pretty little circus
girl for a prince who inherits the
throne, and SO is prevented from mar
ryfng her. although he really loves
her. Tho girl. unwilling to interfere
in his iifs. disappears. and he thinks
that she is dead. Their next meeting
comes after she has climbed a $50 foot
chimney to rescue the Kings little
son by a Royal Consort who he was
forced to marry for diplomatic rea-
sons, The love of ruler and circus
girl springs into being again. and
with a background of the most e1ab-
crate scenes imaginable the story fin
ally works itself out into a logical and
happy ending,
Throughout the seven reels there
are numberiess thrills, and in addi-
ton. scenes of pageantry, and a ballet
spectacle that are truly beautiful. The
acting of a remarkable trained mon
key is a novelty. and in the cast in

From the day when our great graatl
parents rejoiced over a single stick
of striped peppermint or a barley SUI.
gar toy candy has been an important
part of holiday feasting.
This year it will be important IN a
new way because we are saving sugar
for Sammies or because sugar market
controllers see fit to limit the holiday
supply.
Fortunately there are delicious can.
dies which contain no granulated su.
gar,or only very small portion Of
It, These are the candies which ought
to be made at home this year. The
economical candy maker will find It a
pleasant game to achieve the desired
corrections without wasting an ounce
of sugar.

There are two ways OF knitting
wristlets.
One method makes 12-inch flat
strip Of knitting, folds 1t together and
sews up one seam, leaving 2 inches
open space for the thumb, 2 inches
from the edge. Z,
The better way Is to allow an open
space at each end so there will be no
trouble by getting them on up side
down. The other method uses three
needles making the round wristlets
in one piece like tubing.
Here are directions for the first
method: Each requires one.half yank
Of yarn. No. Q needles are used for the
flat wristlets and two pairs Of No.
needles for the wristlets made like a
tube. Completed articles should be

ton, New York. Philadelphia, Atlanta,
New Orleans, st. Louis. Cleveland. Chi.
cago. Minneapolis, Denver, San Fran
cisco, Seattle.
If you make your wristlets in flat
piece cast on 4S stitches, knit and purl
two for IL inches. leaving the two-inch
open space for thumb 2 inches from
the edge at both ends.
II you want to knit your wristlets
like tube cast 90 stitches on three
needles 16-16.20. Knit purl Q for
inches. To make opening for thumb
knit purl to end of third needle.
Turn. Knit and purl back to end of
first needle, always Slipping first stitch.
Turn. Continue knitting back and
forth for 2 inches. From this point
continue as at first for 4 inches for the
land. Bind off loosely and button-hole

Thorough investigation Of the fail
ure of persons to register under the
selective service law Is to be made In
this State. Acknowledgement James
Tandy Ellis. in a communication to
Joe Atkerson, County Court Clerk or
Simpson county, says that all viola

to the representatives OF the De-
partment of Justice at Washington
1t is the policy of the government,
he says, to be lenient with persons
with regard to duties imposed upon
them by the selective service law, bui
the failure of those within the re-
quired age to register puts an added
, burden upon those who have regis
tered, as every county must furnish
its quota for each increment Of sol
.diers called for. and the provisions
of the law must be enforced.

AUTO ACCIDENT.
Mr.. George Wilder Struck and Pain.
fully Injured by Automobile
Yesterday.

Mr.. George w. Wilder, yardmas-
ter of the Louisville e Nashville. in
this city, and a prominent business
man, sustained painful injuries about
the face and arms about noon yes
terday, when he was struck by an
automobile driven by Mr.. Granville
Denton, of the Hotel Fordham.
Mr.. Wilder was en- route to his
home on Cypress street, and Mr..
Denton was just turning into Fiji
teenth street at Main, when Nc.
Wilder, evidently not hearing the
honk of the horn, got directly in the
path of the machine. He was knock
ed down, the machine passing over
him. His face was cut and he sus.
tanned severe bruises on the arms,
but was otherwise uninjured. He
was removed to his home, where his
injuries received medical attention.
Mr.. Denton stated that he did
everything in his power to warn Mr..
Wilder, but to no avail. He sound
ed his horn several times, but Mr..
Wilder either did not hear it, or,
hearing it, thought he could get
across the street before the machine
reached him. The fender of the ma
chine was bent by, the force of the
collision.
