DOUBLE LAUNCHING
At OAKLAND YsRDS

Oakland, Jan. 20.-The first double
launching in the history of steel ship
building took place this morning at
the yards of the Union Iron Works,
Charles Schwab concern, on the
Oakland inner harbor.
simultaneously, the Regulus, 5000
tons, and the Bessa, 10000 tons, slid
down the ways, while thousands
cheered, whistles footed, bands played
and half-dozen motion picture cam
era men filmed the event.
AS soon as the ships were in the
water-so great is the demand for
vessels-workmen began setting the
keel blocks for two other big steel
steamships.
Indicative also of the demand for
ships in these war times is the record
of the reselling of these two vessels.
The Regulus is now the property of
C. Henry Smith, after having been
sold twice since it was ordered by
the Hon. A. o. Lindvig, former prime
minister of Norway. The Bessa now
is in the name of Wilhelm Wilhelm
son, also a Norwegian, after having
changed hands three times since it
was ordered. In each instance large
profit was made, until now it is said
the vessels have sold for almost dou-
BILE their contract price.
Among the guests Of honor at the
launching was James Dickie, inventor
Of the Dickie trigger, now widely used
in launchings. He was present at
the first double launching in the an
nails of shipyards, when two wooden
vessels took the water at the old
Union Iron Works in San Francisco
in 1896.

At the L. & S. Sunday.

Lionel Barrymore, one of the fol e.
most stars of the stage or screen,
will be seen in the stellar role in
"The Quitter" when that Metro Won
derplay is shown here at the L. & S.
theatre Sunday.
Mr.. Barrymore is surrounded by an
exceptionally strong supporting cast,
including Marguerite Skirvin, noted
stage beauty and artist; Edward
Brennan, Paul Everton, Charles
Prince, Julius D. Cowles and other
well known stage and screen artists.
The scenes of ''The Gutter" are laid
in a picturesque mining camp in the
Southwest, and there are scores of
thrilling and exciting situations. Mr..
Barrymore is seen as versatile char
acter called Happy Jack" Lewis, who
is the subject of many interesting
complications, blending from the Sc
rious to the humorous, and affording
the star one of the best roles of his
career.

Palace Theatre Sunday.

The story of the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon feature, "The Devils Prize
featuring Antonio Moreno and Naomi
Childers. which is shown at the Pal
ace theatre on Sunday. overbounds
with human interest touches.
Marguerite Bertsch, who is respon-
sible for the stories of number of
Vitagraph successes, both wrote and
directed this production, and it is
more than worthy to be called a su-
per-feature.
In this picture, Miss Bertsch has
showed us a side of our nature which
we did not know existed. 1t is case
of "Your skin-or mine?" 1t is hu-
man nature to blame another for our
mistake or act and only conscience
prevents us from doing so time and
time again.
If we should allow ourselves to
blame others for our act very often
it would soon become so natural for
US to do so that we would be unable
to do otherwise. AS one of the lead
ing characters says in the play:
"You have blamed your crimes on
others so long that you are not con-
scious when you do SOP
Never before was picture released
so full of psychological and human
interest situations.

THE WHATCHAMA COLUMN.
HOrseradish.

Horseradish is a pernicious, vim.
dictive, ill-natured vegetable that has
to be watched every minute. Boiled
beef is it's only excuse.
Little is known of horseradish ex-
cept that it grows in china pots and
loafs around cheap lunch counters al
midnight. Mustard, salt shakers, cat
sup and cab drivers are it's boon COM
panions.
The only thing to be said in favor
of horseradish is that it doesn't get
into plasters on peoples backs and
blister them all up. 1t will be pleased
to choke you if it gets a chance, but
it won't go out of it's way to do harm
like mustard.

But when he gets back you'll get

I've made,
From this time on, to sell to cash

Whether twas her winning smile or
the words she spoke,
This "firm resolution" we know he
broke.
She got the tea, but never came back,
And left the grocer to "hold the
sack"
She smiled as to herself she thought
"How easily you old suckers are
caught"
Alas! tits sad such things should be
But the grocer was thrown into bank

She prays, "Oh, Lord, have mercy or

But she never paid for that "pound

.'The Thoroughbred at Palace Tonight

The Sport of Kings, with all its at
tendant excitement, is said to be thrill
lingly portrayed in a number of scenes
in "The Thoroughbred" the Triangle
play by C. Gardner Sullivan, in which
Thomas H. Ince presents Frank Kee-
nan as a star.
The story concerns the efforts a
Puritanic young minister to effect the
abolition of horse racing in one of
the Southern states, his success and
his ultimate contrition, inspired by a
realization of the fact that his ac-
tvities have caused poverty in the
home of Major Ainslee, whose daugh-
ter he loves, Many of the scenes,
therefore, are those of the racetrack.
"The Thoroughbred" will be shown
at the Palace theatre tonight.

POWDER PUFF PRINCE AND
PRETTY MODEL WE'D TODAY
(By United Press)


New York, Jan. 20.-Ora One, Pow
der Puff Prince, and designer of wom-
ems garb, and Eleanor Klinger, fash
ion model, were married at st. Vim
cent de Paul's here today. Theirs
was the first "black wedding" on rec
ord.
Except for the white principals, the
affair was as black as the ace OF
spades. Wedding traditions were
hauled out in bunch and smashed to
pieces. The bride was clad in jet
black from her hair and earrings to
her toes. The groom wore a black
suit, black silk shirt, black linen col
lar and black gloves.
Later the wedding breakfast, at the
brides home, was served by black
walters in black. The menu consist
ed of blackberry cocktails, black bass,
black bread, black coffee. 1t seemed
like everything black in the world
was there, but despair.
"Black," said the bridegroom, "is
the ideal color for weddings. AS
mourning it is losing its significance
No one wears mourning any more
And black is cheaper and more serv-
iceable than any other color"
The couple departed on the Black
Diamond Express for a honeymoon
tour through the principal cities OF
the West. They said they would give
those places chance to look them
over.

ent Low Prices.
~r--,
The North End lands of the Impe-
rial Valley Farm Lands Association
today offer the best opportunity Of
any farm land in the state and those
who buy here now are going to get
in on a mighty good proposition, but
it requires immediate action, because
the actual construction of the Cali
patria railroad is under way, which
will open up these farms to the best
transportation facilities.
In the first place, these farms are
the pick of the Valley-good soft soil
that will raise anything-and they are
actually worth today considerably
more than the price that is asked, and
the railroad is going to add great
deal to their value, making them the
most desirable farm lands available.
In the face of all the tremendous
amount of improvements that have
been made, you can still buy them at
the same price and on the same easy
terms, but you must act Immediately
if you wish to get in on this, because
they are going fast. Wise farmers
and investors are getting and and
buying, realizing that such good lands
at such prices cannot last long.
Go to Calipatria now and let Mr..
H. H. Clark, the general manager for
the syndicate, show you over the
property, and then you can see for
yourself just what the land offers.-
