the Gods" Coming at the Missouia
Theater, May II and IS.


Another. motion picture spectacle Of
dimensions. and on Il plane of beauty,
said to be rare, even in these ambitious
days Of the films will be disclosed on
Monday and Tuesday next, when "A
Daughter of the Gods" comes to the
Missoula theater for two-days' en-
gagement.
This notable masterpiece of William
Fox studios is 4 fanciful story which
might almost be distinct echo of
some fable out Of the Arabian Nights
In its making the camera has caught
nature pictures, with the sea as their
background, of truly wondrous beauty,
and It has the Unreasonable adj
vantage over other spectacles of the
films in that it is dominated by a great
and striking personality.
She is Annette Kellermann, who is
to the swimming art what Pavlowa is
to the dance and Charlotte to the ice.
and around her singularly beautiful
and graceful water feats clings the
story which was acted on the coast of
1sAAhsNsA Nv lhSu'uHu % SLlSSlANS
for the uses of the camera as the sea,
and the ingenuity in utilizing the feats
of Miss kellermann. while telling at
the same time a fanciful story of the
Orient is one OF the very high levels
that the motion picture art has
rea ched.
The production has been rightly
named a fantasy. for 1t deals with
mythical creatures to whom the chang
Ing of crocodlles into swans and the
bringing Of the dead to life is a matter
of little Importance. The film appeals
to that side Of the audience which
lives in dreams and the imagination.
In fact, the foreword of the producer
is an invitation to become children who
are the wiser because they live In a
world of their own making. The picture
will delight any child as more exciting
than any Of Grimm's fairy tales. 1t
almost convinces the sane adult of the
existence of super beings because of
the great scale Of the undertaking and
the realism of the photography. The
spectacle would be entirely impossible
IF reproduction on the stage. for only
the camera can create the necessary
illusion and capture the wide horison,
which gives the play it's fascination.

Shark Fishing Season.

The best season for catching sharks
seems to be during the cooler months
from October to March Fishermen
say that sharks are not so plentiful at
other times of the year.
The flesh, fins, maws, jaws and
other bones, livers and skins all enter
into the commerce of Alden, which is
the center of the shark fishing indus
try. The fresh meat of the smaller
sharks is sold regularly in the fish
bazaar at very reasonable prices to the
poorer classes of natives who cannot
afford other sorts of fish. The meat
Is strong, but is said to be quite palat-
able when one is accustomed to eat
ing it. The principal consumers of
shark meat are the Arabs, although
the native Jews and Somalis also use
it. The SOmali and Arab are Moham-
medans and their religion forbids eat
ing the flesh of any fish that has not
scales. However, the working classes
of natives are so poor that shark meat
is the only sort of fish they can afford.

Effects of Fear.

The coward on the field Of battle
dies many times whether death comes
to him or not
Not only on the field of battle do
men suffer fearsome deaths but in
various walks of life. Their fear of
failure makes weaklings of them Just
as the fear of disease renders them fit
subjects for it.
1t was not long since that some
thOughtless companions Of young lady
who had horror of smallpox told her
that she had been exposed to the dis
ease and pointed to some innocent red
splOtches on her face as evidence that
she was taking it. For days and nights
she suffered from pain and fever and
mental anguish. Upon learning the
facts in the case the physician assured
her that she had not been exposed to
the disease and that there were no
symptoms of it,. She thereupon took Il
turn for the better and rapidly re-
gained her health
This Is but one of the constantly re-
curing instances of the effects of fear
on the mind and through it on the
body.

Estate Of Eccentric irlshvvoma,1.

A very eccentric lady died in County
Meath. says London correspondent.
After the lady's death no will could
be found. and 1t was thought she had
died intestate. The solicitor for the
person believed to be next Of kin spent
about 40 days in the house going
through the most extraordinary &C.
cumulation Of papers, documents and
valuable property that filled the rooms
IN the house and even the hall. Not
only every room, but every corridor
was piled high with loose papers,
books and parcels Of all sizes and de-
scriptiOns, and the litter on the stairs
was almost knee deep. Various sums
OF money were found in very peculiar
end unlikely places; in rubbish on the
floors. in band boxes. and in a purse,
and two bank notes for FL were actu-
ally found glued to the floor. The
lawyers recovered an Immense amount
Of property, including f7,0OO in bank
notes and securities Of every kind,
They also discovered the lady' will
under which various charities much

He GOT The FANS
Officer Met Objections of His
Superiors in Washington.
Offered to Transfer One of his Heavv-
weight Ensigns to Make Room
for Extra Equipment.

When q squad Of civilian volunteers
went on a battleship training cruise,
Lieut. F.. 81. Roberts one day told them
about service with the destroyers.
"No special attempt" he told the
volunteers, lis made in selecting the
men to serve in torpedo craft, wheth-
er they are fat men or lean men, short
men or tall men. The character and
spirit are developed by association af-
ter their arrival. AS a rule, they are
older than the men on the battleships.
''You all know that one of the char
acteristics of destroyer is ability to
make high speed. TO this end it has
always been the policy of the naval
constructors to keep fittings of the
vessel strong but of light weight. No
chances were ever lost by the naval
constructors in Tightening the destroy
ers by removal Of any fittings that
they considered unnecessary"
To illustrate: A flotilla of destroy
ers was dispatched from the Atlantic
coast to the Philippines via San Juan,
Suez canal, Indian ocean and the West
Indies.
1t so happened that on one of these
destrOyers the commanding officer was
a man weighing $50 pounds. His two
assistants, both then ensignS, each
weighed we'll over 200 pounds Out Of
a half-dOZen chief petty officers three
Of them were heavyweights, and in the
rest Of the crew were two others of
the same avOirdupois.
Upon arrival in the Philippines the
weather was hot and sultry, the sun
keeping the decks of the vessel warm,
adding another torment.
The vessels original allowance list
had included one electric fan, so the
commanding officer submitted a reuui-
sitiOn requesting that a fan be fur
nished for the wardrOOm, and one in
each compartment in which the crew
were quartered, Il total of five fans.
The request in due time reached
Washington. and some three months
later was returned disapprOved as the
bureau did not wish to add any I'M
necessary weight to the vessel for fear
of reducing it's speed.
Nothing daunted. the commanding
officer returned the reQuiSitiOn with a
statement thereon of the weights of
himself, his two commissioned assist
ants and other members of the crew
and requested that one of these heavy
weights be transferred and that man
weighing about $50 pounds be sent in
his place.
The fans were forthcoming ahd no
body was transferred Since that time
electric fans are among the few COM
forts found on destrOyers.

WAR PLANTS ARE REGULATED
There Has Been Very Little Direct
Management Of Business by Great
Britain and France, However.

Contrary to the common understand
ing In the United States there has
been very little direct management of
business by the governments Of Great
Britain and France In those countries
since the war began, according to a
report on "the relation of the govern
ment to war industry" made to the
National Civic federation by Prof. Jer-
emiah W. jerks.
There has been, however, Professor
jerks explains, rather strict regula-
rion Of industries producing or hand
ling war supplies, but virtually no di-
rect management of business outside
the regular government arsenals and
certain special factories, few In num-
Der. built by or for the British gov
ernment. The power given the Brit
ish government under the defense Of
the realm act is outlined in the report
as follows:
"To require any work In any factory
or workshop to be done in accordance
with the directions Of the government.
ITO regulate or restrict the carry
ing on Of work In any factory or work
shop or to remove the plant.
"To take possession of any unoccu-
pied premises for war purposes.
I'm actual practice. the government
gets its work done:
"By paying liberal prices to estab-
lishments for all work done while
guarding against monopolistic or other
extortioHate prices.
"By restricting or forbidding the
making of certain classes Of goods
not needed for war purposes.
"By prescribing rigidly the order in
which the various classes Of work are
to be finished and delivered.
by regulating through various re-
strictiOns the distribution Of the sup
ply OF labor and the conditions under
which work shall be done.
"While the government does not di-
rectly manage establishments" Pro
tessor jerks says, lit does tell what to
do, determine the order Of work, con-
troll transport Of goods and materials
In proper order. forbid workmen who
are needed for production Of NUM-
tions to enlist and forbid trade except
under license.
These regulations" he says, "are
enforced by a committee Of subordi-
mates acting In a friendly way by
unanimous agreement. Their deci-
sions are on disputed questions laid
before them, and are subject to an ap-
peal to their superior officers. Their
classifcations may be put into effect
by employers or contractors subject
likewise to an appeal. Disputes of all
kinds regarding prices, wages and con-
dittons Of labor are settled by COM
uittees representing all parties"

The Good of Life.

1t is essential for the community
and state that each citizen should be
brought up to fully understand that
his one duty towards himself and
others is to make the most out Of
this life, to develop in himself the
possibilities nature has given him,
and be as happy as possible. In this
way he contributes most to the hap
piness of others. Let it be fully un-
derstOod that melancholy and pes
simism, though possibly attractive, are
sins If they lead to inactivity-as seri-
Gus as any sin in the world. They
have to be avoided by strict self-con-
troll. Life is in itself rich, beautiful
and full of possibilities. Let the
young man learn to see that, and not
pine for what is not 1t should be al

Now and then q man pauses to take

Of his days the milestone due to the
