ORPHEO THEATRE.

William Desmond has acted a wide variety of roles since his advent as Triangle star, but probably no char acterization as that of Carson Stew art, in the new Triangle feature, Master of His Home," at the Orpheo theatre Monday. In this part, that of millionaire who made the great mistake of marrying for home, he ne is called upon the present mans side in one of the greatest problems of modern times and the consensus of advance opinion is that he has done his work in splendid fashion. The story of the play is as follows:
 Year after the marriage of Millicent she discovers she is about to become a mother, and Mrs. Draek is mortified because it upsets her plans to have Millicent divorce Carson and marry Van lyle. To offset what she deems to be an impending tragedy, Mrs. Drake enlists the aid of a malpractic- ing physician. At the moment, Car son learns of the plans and takes things into his own hands. What hap pens in his struggle for mastery of his home and happiness constitutes an intensely interesting action, and one that deals with some of the biggest problems in the American family life.
 An all-star cast will appear in the support of Desmond, Alma Reuben, appearing as the wife and Robert Me- Kim as the former suitor.

When Amethysts Turn White.

A man recently brought back to jewelry store three rings set With amethysts which had faded to pale yellow within few months after he had bought them. He then discovered that instead of amethysts the gems were topazes. The latter vary in color from pale yellow to deep violet and purple. Under high temperatures amethysts change color, becoming first yellow, then green and finally entirely colorless. Under ordinary tempera- ture, however, genuine amethysts do not change color.

ObIiterat;nn Class Distinctions.

Modern and cultured persons, l be- lieve, object to their children seeing kitchen company or being taught by woman like Peggotty. But surely it is more important to be educated in a sense of human dignity and equality than in anything else in the world. And a child who has once had to re spect a kind and capable woman of the lower classes will respect the. lbsg'Rr classes forever. The true way to over come the evil in class distinctions is not to denounce them as reyolutjonists denouncc them, but to ignore them. as children Ignore tbem.-G. K. Chester

MeAdoo Tells Good News.
Announcement that the second
Liberty loan was an overwhelming
success was made in Washington by
Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury
Department.
"It is a great honor" said the Sec
retafy, "to be able to announce that
the second Liberty loan has been
greatly oversubscrlbed. 1t will be
several days before final figures can
be given.
"The challenge Of the German Kai-
ser has been answered by the free
people of America in unmistakabie
terms"
Cleveland furnished one Of the
eleventh-hour surprises" a statement
by the Treasury Department said
"Reom> official figures made public
early in the day 1t became evident
that many sections had been slow in
reporting. and that the real strength
of the district was just beginning to
show. County after county and city

it's slow start toward its maximum
Of 10000, 900, buckled down hard to
come as near that mark as possible.
Workers had not entirely lost hope
last night OF taking rank with other
leaders, but the task looked diff
hcult. Late returns. however, showed
a growing increase.
German-Americans Buy.
"St. Louis reported that the sale
was being generously supported by
wage-earners and that German
Americans were buying especially
well. Atlanta wired that they were
swamped with long distance tele-
phone orders and with telegraph or
ders. and that all the banks were
staying open until 0 o'clock. Opti-
mistic observers thought that the
district might reach its maximum
quota Of $135, ,0oO, 900.
"only one report came from Min
neapolis, where, with a delayed start,
workers achieved wonderful results.
1t was impossible, because Of the
covers to keep closely advised on
sales. but the message said they were
known to be growing"
The Liberty loan just closed appar
emily is the largest war loan fioated
by any combatant nation since the
war began, as 1t should be, for the
United States is far the richest and
most resourceful country partici-
patlng. Its population is more than
twice as large as Great Britain's, and
its national wealth is estimated to be
nearly three times as great, yet the
