 we would better have dinner early anyway, Katie," I said, amused at Katie's persistence and knowing the absolute futility of com batting any idea or superstition of hers once it be- came lodged in her brain.

 Her assurance made me uneasy Tn spite of myself. I am foolishly sen- sitive about the appearance of my house.

She can be a regal hostess in perrectly ordered and appointed home. ana she would make guests equally welcome entertain them with the same ap- parent zest if they should come an- expectedly to her home when she had painters, plasterers and carpenters at work.
 To have visitors with my furniture Dicky ensconced in such disgraceful untidiness in the living room, was catastrophe not to be thought or.
 I was compelled to think Of It a little later, however, for the Marvin taxi rolled up to the door, and-o1 all persons in the world-deposlted in slightly rumpled, but still dlgn1hed state, my mother-in-law.

Then comes the big sur. prise when the action is explained and Conan has a chance to show himself as a sentime entalist. He does that little job with a thoroughness that characterizes his work throughout the picture.

Undesirable Laughter.
BY RUTH CAMERON

"Men show their character in noth ing more clearly than by what they think ghable."-Goethe.
 A great deal can be said in praise of laughter.
 As much, to my mind, can be said in dispraise of it.
 There are so many kinds of laugh ter.
 There are desirable kinds of laugh ter such as the laugh of a child, the hearty infectious laugh of an unself- conscious man, the we'll modulated musical laughter of woman Gone of the rarest things on earth, the gift of musical laugh Is about five times as rare as that of musical voice nd you know how far from common that is) and the pretty laughter of young girls ("which is and always was," says DeQuincey, 'among the most delightful sounds of earthly
 And then there are kinds of laugh ter not so desirable. There Is the apologetic laugh, the coarse laugh, and the nervous laugh. The latter Is the one I especially want to speak about.
 No Nervous Habit Worse Than the Nervous Laugh. Of all nervous habits, none is any more to be avoided than the nervous laugh.
 1 I used to know woman who laugh ed constantly. She laughed at every l thing and she laughed at nothing. She ! would make plain statement of fact such as it is a pleasant day" and then ] laugh at it. When anyone made jest she laughed for almost a minute. l dreaded to hear people make jests ir | her presence. On all occasions Wher l other people smiled she laughed.

 a hard time getting along. When her mother dies, she runs away from the orphan asylum in which she had been placed, and joins circus. But while she is suffering under the hard ships inflicted upon her by the cruel owner of the outfit, she is found by emissaries of the earl, who has re- ceived news of her mothers death, and decided to bring his only grand child up, thereby filling an aching void in his heart and life. He cer- tainly fills everything when Madge ar rived, even more than he anticipated, for she assumes full charge of his estate, and refuses to take any orders from any one, even the earl himself. She early made the discovery that her grand-parent had the gout, and all that was necessary to make him accede to any wish of hers, was mere ly to twist the afflicted foot, and keep on twisting until he gave in. Tho picture is not all comedy, however. There is goodly strain of serious and dramatic pathos running through the whole production. Another num- Der on the same program of almost as much interest, is the fifteenth chapter of 'The Fatal Ring.' This serial is rapidly drawing to a close now, and the most unexpected and surprising things are taking place in every episode. There will also be shown the first of a new series of funny cartoon comedies, in which the we'll known characters, Mutt and Jeff, are the stars. The pictures are all drawn by the famous cartoonist, T. E. Powers, whose work in some of the biggest newspapers in the coun. try is familiar to millions The Pathe News will also be shown.

POLLY OF THE CIRCUS" COMING HERE

A picture that is guaranteed to sat- isfy lovers of the unusual and spec tacular, and one that has been a tre- mendous success in every city in which it has appeared, is Folly of the Circus," the huge eight reel Gold wyn production in which the popular and dainty Mae Marsh is starred and which will open at Fox's theater for three days on Sunday night. Miss Marsh's work in this picture even sur- passes her splendid triumphs in The Birth of a Nation" and 'Intolerance in which masterpieces she sprung into instantaneous popularity with the millions who witnessed them. The story of the picture has to do with the child, Polly, who was born and raised with a circus, who, following the death of her mother in an acci- dent, is raised by an old clown, Toby. She becomes a bareback rider, and, after being injured by a fall during her act, is left behind in a little town. while the rest of the circus goes on. When injured, Polly was taken to the nearest house, which happened to be that of a young minister, John Doug las. Here she stays during the long months of cOnvalescence. She Is six teen. and beautiful, and as the clergy man is but twenty-five and a bache- Tor, the town gossips are soon busy, and what might have been a pretty romance, is twisted into malicious scandal by the narrow-minded villag- CTS. Pressure is brought to bear upon the minister, and, listening to the voice of reason rather than to the call of the heart, he tries to mako her understand that she must go. She hears that her old friend and foster father, Toby, is dangerously ill, but, having no money With which to has, ten to his aid, undertakes to raise some by entering her circus horse in the big annual races against the horse of Deacon Strong, the biggest and most crabbedly important citizen of the village. The racing scene which ensues is beyond doubt one of the best and most exciting things that has ever been done into pictures. But it is only one of a dozen big, thrilling spectacles. The circus scenes are especially worthy of note.

How Dicky's Mother Returned
 Marvin.

Dicky ''sorted" his collection of books, papers and magazines assid- uously for the space of half an hour in the living room from which Katie, Jim and I had just hurriedly removed the furniture and the rugs to keep them from the dust which had ac- cumulated upon the "collection." He kept Jim busy travelling from the attic to the denuded living room bearing huge piles of the old things he had accumulated there. When the l last one was down the room looked like nothing, so much as a combina- tion of secondhand book shop and rag picker's dump, and Dicky in the midst of it, was evidently happy, but dirty and dishevelled to a degree I had not believed it possible for my fastidious husband to achieve. I didn't go into the living room at all, for I was still smarting at his in considerate action in bringing the dusty things into the room without even asking me whether it were con- venient for me to have them there. in- deed, over my protest that the furni- ture and rugs would be ruined. But from the dining room, where l was helping Katie bring some semblance of order out of the confusion into which the unexpected introduction of the living room furniture had thrown the usually we1l-ordered room. l caught glimpses of Dicky at "work" which afforded me a great deal of quiet amusement.
 "What Do You Mean?"
 He would rush around from one pile to another, selecting books or magazines or newspapers from each and placing them in neat little piles Then omething in the printed pages before him would strike his fancy and down he would sit upon the nearest pile and. relaxing himself in comfort, read the thing he had found.
 The first two or three times he left the routine of sorting for the fas- cination of the printed page he ap- peared uneasy, read whatever he had found hurriedly, and then returned to his work. But. after a while he abandoned all pretence, and impro- vising a couch from the piles of newspapers, he lit his pipe, and half sitting, half reclining, gave himself up to regular orgy of delving and read ing.
 Dot look like old times," chuckled Katie, as she caught glimpse of him.
 w nHL uO yOu 1lSdAl, IAdClS asked, forgetting for the moment that in the days before I knew Dicky, Katie, then raw immigrant Polish girl, had done the laundry work and cleaning in the apartment where Dicky and three other artists kept bachelors hall.
 wy dot joost de way he always do at de flat ven he and dose oder boys lived dere,'' she explained. "He always have lots books and papers, an ven dose oder fellows tell him dey chuck dem all out if he no feex. he always get dem out an den sit an read all time-I bet he dere all day.
 Katie's Prophecy.
 II bet something else. too," she went on and her face was full of mischievous enjoyment. T bet some company coom today"
 "Oh, Katie, don't even speak of such thing!' I said. aghast at the very idea of guests in so disordered a house. I'm sure no one will come The Durkees know we are moving, and the rest of the people here don't know us well enough to call. And I am sure no one from the city will | be here today"

don't know that ever saw her smile.
 At first I Judged her whole charac- ter by that laugh. Later I realized that it was nothing but a nervous habit. When she was more nervous than usual from one cause or another such as overtiredness. shyness at meeting strangers, etc., she laughed more than usual. Think Should Go Insane. l really pitied her for the unfortun- ate habit, And yet I think should go insane if had to live with anyone like that.
 could hear that laugh coming and ] something inside me shuddered. Perhaps other people do not feel as keenly as do about this habit but I am sure most people find 1t more or 1 less offensive.
 The very fact. that laughter Is nor mally the expression of mirth and
 happiness somehow makes 1t more
 hideous when 1t is twisted out of it's normal use.
 1 Nothing More Horrible Than l Maniac's Laugh. A maniac's shrieks are bad enough but nothing in all the world is more ! horrible than a maniac's laughter.
 And the loud laugh that speaks the
 vacant mind is even more imbecile
 than the fools most foolish utterance Watch your laugh.
 Don't let yourself get the habit o1
 nervous laughter. It IS one of the
 most unnecessary as we'll as one of
 the most objectionable habits in the
 world.

LisELING THE WEST.

One of the most vicious American
cartoons published in war times, thus
far, Is that of the New York Pulitzer
sheet of June 2, labeled, Cleaning
Out the West" wherein Uncle Sam
Is depicted, law in hand, pounding a
snakes nest of traitors, plotters, an
archists. pro-German sympathkers,"
and their like.
Publication of this cartoon is not
only a villainous attempt to provoke
sectionalism, but tits a foul libel on
portion Of the nation whose people
have shown the highest order of pa
triotism and the strongest determine
ton to support the administration in
its war policies.
The West has come nearest to fur
nishing its full quota of volunteers.
Present figures indicate that it not
only surpassed other regions in re-
spending to registration for selective
service, but in low percentage of ex-
emptions claimed. 1t bids fair to take
It's quota of Liberty bonds. 1t has har-
vests to reap that will mean national
salvation, and surplus for salvation
abroad
True, the West has its traitors,
plotters and anarchists, it's politica,
snakes of all sorts. But compared
to those of New York city, as an east
ern instance, as to viciousness and
general meanness, its so-called
snakes" are patriots and gentlemen.
The West will clean itself, when
It's necessary. 1t needs neither ad-
vice nor aid in the job from that long
established incubator of traitors and
anarchists, New York city; and the
New York World should know this.

ROBINSON CRUSOE :. :.

HIT Of BIG YEAR
AL Jolson Breaks All Records for
Auditorium With Musical
Extravaganza

Robinson ,Crusoe, Jr.," by all odds
the biggest and most elaDorately
staged musical extravaganza which
has graced the local boards this sea-

office standpoint, but in rapid-fire fun

There's no plot, or at most only
the barest semblance of one, in "Rob-
inson Crusoe, Jr.," but there is no
need for any definite thread to string
together the rapid succession OF daz-
zlingly beautiful scenic effects, bril-
liant ensembles and uproariously ri.
diculous situations which afford Al
Jolson a fun.making medium par-ex-
cellence.
OF course, aside from hundred or

,heraldeda as the particular production
which offered Miss Young the most
remarkable role in her career.
Her characterization of the Russian
peasant girl who become bitter Nj
hilist when her parents are Ikilled in
cold blood before her very eyes is
an example Of film artistry. AS the
story goes on we find her using her
womanly charm and magnetism, lur-
ing on the Russian noblemen and fin
ally throwing them aside when they
have served her purpose. The role is
wonderfully suited to her capabilities

Of all denominations, all races, is
greed for money. Our war is not only
to put down political autocracy
abroad, but, in the methods to which
we must resort, in the processes
through which we must prosecute af-
fairs, it cannot fail to draw our de-
nominations and our races closer to-
gether spiritually The rich and the
poor cannot bleed, sacrifice and
mourn in common without closer
brotherhood The lines of bloodstain-
ed trenches will be remembered when
the lines Of creed and race are forgot

and strongest the great truth that all
men are brothers. In great common
peril, in great mutual suffering comes
Christ was for all men.
After nearly twenty centuries of
the unquestionable conviction that
Christian martyrdom, prayer, preach
ing and endeavor, the world is engag
ed in the unholy occupation of slaugh-
ter. We are in the war that the
things which mean Christianity in it's
broadcast sense shall not perish from
the earth, especially not from our
own midst. Without hate or greed,
we fight for the common brotherhood
Of the rich and the poor among us:
as well as of the victims of autocracy
abroad. And it is a holy war
