POPULAR ACTRESS
 ID PLAY TONIGHT

After an absence of many months, popular little Mary Pickford will be seen at the Coliseum tonight in her greatest movie triumph, "A Poor Little Rich Girl" the newest Art craft production and one which has taken the States by storm.
 Little Mary's" latest effort on the screen in "A Poor Little Rich Girl" shows her in the part of the neglected daughter of wealthy American family, the action of the play taking place in the United States. The movie production is adapted from the we'll known book and play of the same name, by Eleanor Gates, and is rated as one of the very best screen attractions of the day. The story affords the popular movie star one of the best subjects ever secured for her. The production is replete with continuous display of luxurious settings and furnishings, many costly scenes having been built especially for the subject, in keeping with the story which tells of the extravagant display of wealth. Among the lux rious limousines used in the picture are two of the big cars owned by Miss Pickford.
 The popular little star takes the part of Gwendolyn, child of wealth, yet poor. She lives in a mansion, yet she has no one to play with, much like the daughters of many weathy families How she escapes from her unhappy surround ings and is reborn into a new life makes an interesting story, with we'll balanced moral.
 The picture will be repeated to- morrow night, when the kiddies will be given the opportunity to see the show without cost. The show will start at eight o'clock. and the price of admission will be fifty cents, with quarter extra for reserved seats.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRES:

of the heart and blood vessels suf- fers. Exhaustive observations, he believes, point to the fact that both at home and in the field, arteric sclerosis is a genuine war disease. What part chronic underfeeding takes in this, we do not know" he adds. The increased blood pressure on the heart and the blood vessels entails many dangers. Only in the years after the war we shall be able to gauge the full extent of this un- precedented tension which is us- ing up human strength. Individual power of resistance of course, plays a great part in organic reaction.
 "The number of those who have gone through this endless war so far without any impairment of health is not large, and it is safe to say that when we come to the end, there will be few indeed who can claim perfect immunity. It seems to me therefore, that it is the wrong policy for the authori- ties to place so many difficulties in the way of people who need rest, relaxation and a change of air and surroundings. -.
 "The state" Professor Albu con- cludes, land this may we'll apply to all belligerent nations-needs care ful husbanding of human material. Public and social hygiene are faced with problems of stupendous magni- tude. This war has killed, maimed or injured more sound stock in four years time than in four peace de- cades.
 "Consistent underfeeding has weakened the system to an extra ordinary extent, especially in the matter of infectious diseases. Moth ing proves this more conclusively than the increased mortality from tuberculosis, dysentery, etc. Burn ed down villages can be built up again more easily than human gen. erations. The value of the ind- vidual has risen to a point which demands the most careful consider ation."

PRISONERS AND THE WAR

Prison labor as a factor in win ming the war is being urged by Warden John Francies, of the West ern penitentiary, who is a recog- nized authority on the management of penal institutions, and retaining recreant manhood. Mir. Francies has taken up the subject with the Cham Der of Commerce of Pittsburg, which body has called upon Con- gress to enact legislation which will permit 5O,O00 inmates of prisons in the country to engage in war work.
 According to the views of MT. Francies, the criminal is patriot according to his lights. He will be glad to help to win the war if al lowed to do so. State laws passed to fit peace conditions prevent this. He holds that it should be possible to suspend these laws for war pur- poses during the continuance of the war by act of Congress. That it has not been done, Mr Frances thinks is due to an oversight rather than to the determination of anybody to make use of the resources of the prisoners labor.
 MT. Francies expressed a firm be- lief in the patriotism of labor and does not think it will oppose the use of prison labor in making supplies under present conditions.
 II am in possession of data which shows that , per cent of the prison labor of the country, engaged in the manufacture of socks, will turn out 100000 dozen pairs in years time" MT. Francies recites: "We should have had twice that many socks ready to send to our soldiers in France to keep them from freez- ing during the coming winter We could have had them if this pro- position of our prisoners had been allowed to work on them.
 What is true of socks is true of other supplies. There are build ings and machinery available to turn out immense quantities of supplies and they are not being used. There are 50,000 persons rotting in idle ness in prison cells in this country because they have no employment They are degenerating morally, men, tally and physically, while their coun- try and the people of Europe need the work they would be glad to give. Something should be done to change this condition of things
