GRIFFITH'S SUPREME TRIUMPH
TO BE SHOWN NEXT THURSDAY

Hearts of the World" the supreme
triumph of D. w. Griffith, to be pre-
sented at the American theater on
Thursday. September 19. inaugurates
a new era in the realm Of the screen
drama. Here, with the great war as
a background, Mr.. Griffith has filmed
simple little love story, old as the
ages yet ever new. Hearts of the
World" has proven the latest sensa-
tion in the screen world. Mr.. Grit
fifth realized that the public which be-
came enthusiastic over THE Birth of
a Nation" and Intolerance" would
expect something big from him in this
latest picture. and therefore instead of
trying to out-do himself in staging gi-
gantic scenes. he used the great war
only as q background for the filming OF
a simple and attractive story of tre-
mendous human interest.
Hearts of the World" shows the
happy, peaceful life OF the people of a
small village before the grim horror
war reared its ugly head over the hor-
izon. The causes that led up to the
war are shown: the meeting of the
English parliament on the eventful
night when the vote was cast for war;
the session of the French senate yot-
ing upon the declaration of war; the
session Of the cabinet awaiting the
fatal hour when the ultimatum to Ger
many would expire. These scenes
come as a prelude; then the great big
drama begins swhen the German
hordes enters France.
In taking the battle pictures for
Hearts of the World" Mr. Griffith
had the assistance and cooperation OF
the British war office. 1t is the opin-
ion of all who have seen Hearts OF
the World" that Mr.. Griffith has out
done his own best achievements and
has established new artistic record
which 1t will take years and years for
someone else to equal. II indeed such
thing is possible.

we can knit at home. At present the

TWENTY-FIVE DUCKS Is NEW
LIMIT FOR DAYS SHOOT

The season for hunting wild ducks
opens in Nevada Monday morning,
September 10th, a half hour before
sunrise. This date has been Sc. by
the federal government.
That duck hunters may kill twenty.
1--we ducks each day In accordance
with the provisions of the new regu'
lations of the federal migratory bird
act is the opinion OF J. A. Kirwin, ths
county fish and game warden.
The new federal law provides that
"a person may take In any one day
during the open season prescribed
therefore in regulation four not to ex-
coed the following migratory game
birds: Ducks Except wood duck and
elder ducks)-Twenty-fiye In the ag-
gregate of all kinds"
The act also fixes a bag limit OF
twenty-five doves and opens the sea-
son in Nevada on September 10th. The
bag limit for geese and brant is eight
birds In one day.
The bag limit on ducks under the
Nevada law is fifteen birds in a day
but there is a section in the law which
says 1t shall conform to the fedora
law. Under this section, the game
warden says, he believes 1t will be law
full to kill twenty-five ducks day.

WANTS CLOTHING
FOR THE BELCIANS

At the request of Herbert Hoover,
chairman for the commission for re-
lief in Belgium, the American Red
Cross will conduct a drive during the
week of September 23-30th to collect
an additional 5000 tons OF used cloth
ing for the Belgians.
or this 5000 tons. $50 tons are al
lotted to the Pacific division. Allot-
ments are now being made and will
be forwarded to all chapters in the
division within the next two or three
days.
Hoover's plea to the chairman of
the Red Cross war council follows:
"The ten million imprisoned people
in occupied Belgium and France are
facing shame, suffering. disease and
some of them death, for lack of cloth
ing this winter. They must be helped.
I hope that the Red Cross will under
take a renewed campaign to obtain
this clothing in America. 1t can come
only from us. Your first campaign
yielded magnificent results, bringing
in full 5000 tons of clothing in good
condition. But much more is needed If
these war-ravaged people are to get
through the winter in decency and
safety. In the face of brutal coercion
and spiritual suffering they remain
splendidly courageous. This courage
challenges our charity. Let US match
the courage of Belgium by the gen.
erosity of America"
