Red Tape.

The expression red tape,' meaning
official formality, owes its origin to
the use of red tape by lawyers and
government officials for tying up pa
psfs. An advertisement in the Public
lnte;ligencer, Dec. 6. 1868, offers a re-
ward for the restoration Of "a little
bundle of papers tied with red tape.

night, between Worcester House and

routine by Sidney Smith.

FINDS LONG LOST
FRIEND ON SCREEN
Veteran Of Bandit Raids Sees O.d
Pal as Cowboy In 1.-THE
Honor System."

Chip Brown, cowboy who has
passed through three insurrecto
sieges of Mexico and was one of
Pershing's scouts, says that
Americans who are not actually
residents of the border will get a
better idea of a border raid than
any of the persons actually con-
cerned in it when they see the
thrilling portrayal in The Honor
System" the biggest of screened
melodramas, the scenes of which
are laid in Arizona and the south
west.
Brown, who is former New
Yorker, but has spent many years
along the border and in Mexico,
is in New York as the representa-
tive of Texas firm which is
shipping horses to the allies. On
special invitation OF William
Fox, the producer of ''the great
est human story ever told" he
had private view of the play.
THAT is about as real as you
can get it without it being the ac-
tual flesh and blood stuff re-
marked Chip. THE locations are
real, and the cowpunchers and the
Mexicans are real. When the La
Plata ranch was raided we got on
the jump as quick as possible, but
the surprise was complete, and in
the confusion and the shouting
that followed a fellow couldn't
just get a clear idea of what was
happening in general. He just
knew how it was affecting him
and the friends he was with.
Now, in this great picture that
Mr.. Fox was good enough to let
me see, you get all sides of it
the inside, the outside, the near
side and the far side, and at such
times what sends hill into a
man, but makes his heart stouter,
is the thought of the women and
the children. On the screen they
are true to life, and from the kids
to the killing this raid stuff is the
real thing"

Dear Sister Eva:
| received your letter mailed
the 2Sth of July. l received it
Sept. 23rd. From now on we will

sure hope they had a failure on
their crops of acorns. Then they
won't have a thing TO eat. They
are grinding them up and putting
them in their bread. The people
are starving. Women and chill
dren fall dead on the street for
want OF food. You know how a
German loves the kaiser and the
fatherland. Ii il wasn't that he
was starving, would he take a
chance to desert them and es-
cape? The Germans chain their
soldiers to the machine guns so
they can't run. Some of them we
have here say if the war lasts till
spring you'll find bones chained
to them.
don't suppose you have heard
the latest. Well, I'll put you wise.
King George was eating water
melon and the kaiser asked him
for a little peace. He told him
he wouldn't give him any, be-
cause when we all got a bit, the
Rhine wouldn't even be left. You
know | can't understand why Ger
many is starving. They ought to
get good eats from Turkey,
hadn't they? We haven't had a
pay day for two months, so we got
up a little song. Here it is:
