THE FUTURE WELFARE OF THIS
COUNTRY IS IN THE HANDS OF
THE SOLDIERS.

Some four or five weeks ago this
paper ventured to suggest that our
returning soldiers would have a ire
mendous stabelizing effect on the peo-
pie of the United States. Not day
passes but some one suggests appre
tensions about the future Of this coun-
try, fearing the disintegrating .hflu
ence of afterwar conditions. We had
Just such aprehensions some months
ago but finally concluded that the
safety of this country lay in the hands
of our returning soldier boys, and
here repeat that they will come back
home with a heightened respect, a
something akin to yeneration, for our
system of government. If the discon-
tented element in our country, the
class that wants to free the arch-mur-
derer, Mooney, who adopted Kaiser
methods to terrorize those who diff
fered with him, if this Disconnected
clement undertakes to pull off any
rough stuff in this country, they will
come squarely up against that return
ing army.
The following dispatch, in the daily
press Wednesday, is a significant in
dication Of what will happen:
New York Nov. i8.-soldiers
sailors and marines engaged TO-
night in a fight with several hun
bred members Of the socialist par
ty of Greater New York, who with
red flags pinned to the lapels,
had paraded up Fifth avenue on
their way to attend meeting at
which funds were TO be raised for
the defense Of Thomas j. Mooney,
the labor leader, under death SEN
tence in California. More than
a hundred police reserves had to
use their night sticks freely be-
fore the trouble was quelled

To this writer it always appeared
that the allies would win the war be-
cause they had access to the worlds
storehouse Of food and all the things
that are necessary to the carrying on
Of the war, whereas the central EN-
pires were practically thrown on their
own resources. Then, too, the finan-
cial backbone of the allied powers was
vastly stronger than the enemies
Germany could not longer fight be-
cause she was on the verge of star
walton, and was desperately short of
war material of all kinds. Her credit,
too, was gone What money she re-
ceiyed came from her own people.
Germany had to feed and finance her
allies. If she had been able to supply
Bulgaria with money and food that
nation would not have sued for peace
this year The wearing out Of armies
and the starving out of the stay-at-
homes, had tremendous effect in
bringing the war to an end this year.
1t was costly, but it won.

"OH BOY" LEAVES
PARSONS TOMORROW

All who intend to see i"Oh, Boy at
Parsons theater this week should
hurry for Seats as this musical COM
edy is attracting capacity audiences.
There will be performances tonight
and Saturday at 8, with q popular
priced matinee tomorrow afternoon
at $3.50.
When Fiske O'Hara, the eminent
Irish romantic star, comes to Par
sons theater next Monday, matinee
and night, one of the principal treats
of the performance will be the special
musical program rendered before the
performance and between the acts by
Mr.. O'Hara's augmented orchestra un-
der the leadership of his general di-
rector, Cass Freedom.
Beautiful, dark-eyed Miriam Coop
err, whose graphical portrayal of the
F'riendess One in D. w. Grif1th's
masterful spectacle, intolerance,
which comes to Parsons next We'd
nesday for four days, found herself
confronted by a rather perplexing
problem during early rehearsals. Miss
Cooper, who was educated in con-
vent, was elected by Mr.. Griffith as
the exact type he sought for the role
Of the modern Magdalene in the pres
ent-day period of his masterpiece.
Miss Cooper put forth her greatest
efforts to visualize the emotions of a
fallen woman. But to no avail. At
the suggestion of Mr.. Griffith, Miss
Cooper, under the chaperonage of her
mother went to San Francisco, where
guided by a police reporter, she
studied the mannerisms, habits and
daily lives of friendless ones. Her ex-
periences were fruitful. AS a result
of her truly wonderful and realistic
portrayal of the difficult role, she has
been pronounced one of the worlds
leading emotional actresses by critics
wherever Intolerance has been
shown. There will be daily matinees
of Intolerance" during the engage
ment at Parsons.

A Uniform for Women
RY RUTH CAMERON

turn straight round and go as far in
the opposite direction.
I have often commented on the
fact that while a man of the middle
class can put on a business suit, wear
it to work, go to a matinee in it,
change his collar and shave and ap-
pear in the same suit at an informal
evening gathering, it has alwys been
impossible for woman to do the sam
and be as we'll dressed as he. She
must have not only different gowns,
but different wraps, shoes, hats, ETC.,
for these different occasions
Think of the Functions Serge Dress
Can Perform
Enter the serge dress and all this
is changed. Take a simple blue serge
dress with just a touch of some
bright-colored embroidery. A woman
can put it on and wear it to business,
fix her hair and put on a daintier col
lar and wear it to the matinee, and to
an informal evening gathering or even
to the theater.
Suppose women refused to yield up
the serge dress after year or two,

can fancy at least seven out OF
ten will answer yes to that first
question.
And, shall we say five oft of seven,
to the second?
I am immensely interested in the
serge dress, Not just as a dress, but
as a possibility.
There has a great deal been said
first and last about uniforms for
women. (Mostly, by the way, by
mem. Except for the efforts of a.
few scattered dress reformers, how
ever, little has been done.
Has Not Fashion Given Us a Shove

bringing forward the serge dress and

BASEBALL FOUR
KEENEY HEADLINER

There are any number OF baseball
players who have failed to make good
as footlight favorites. In fact, the
big majority Of them have drifted
away from the 1imelight and glamour
of the stage and gone back to the farm
to spend the winter months around
the old, hot stove and cracker ba--
rel, and tell of their exploits on the
ball field to their gullible fellow
members of the old home winter
leagues.
But not so the Baseball Four
who are now playing to capacity
houses at Keeney's theater, having
just finished very successful metro
politan season of nearly two mouths
There is a dash to their turn that
carries every fan in the audience with
them from start to finish, their sing
ing is me1odious and their songs
catchy and up to date.
At last nights performance, they
captured the house. 1t was a base
ball performance, the sort that at

but insisted on keeping it as basic
uniform comparable to the mans
business suit. They might still have
their evening gowns-as men have
theirs-and, of course, for summer a
substitute would have to be devised.
Let's Standardize the Type, Not Color
or Style
Mr. George, the feminist, who is
one of the most ardent pleaders for
g. feminine uniform, would have it
some definite, set color and of some
set style. 1t seems to me we should
do better if we standardized merely
the type of garment and persuaded
women to settle the matters of color
and cut according to their own in
dividual needs instead of the Dictates
of fashion.
Should Mr.. George see this, can
fancy his quiet smile at the radiant
optimism of that last sentence. Ard
I can't say I blame him.

'AEROPLANE GIRLS"
STAR AT LYCEUM

Acrobats of more or less ability
have appeared in this city at differ
ent times, and their presentations
have varied from very good to ex
ceedingly bad, but it took the Aero
plane Girls at the Lyceum yesterday
afternoon and evening to set the
pace for performers who make this
city a stopping place in the future.
They are without a doubt one of the
greatest pair of women in the bus
mess that have ever been here and
comment on their work was very
favorable on every side.
Using brilliantly lighted aeroplanes
Of a novel construction as their
trapezes, the girls went through
breath scratching stunts with start
ling audacity. This act will head the
bill today and tomorrow and should
prove welcome to theatergoers who
have been accustomed in the past to
the mediocre Offering of other aero
bats. The bill as a whole, with es
pecial mention for the Aeroplane
Girls was we'll balanced and very &C.
ceptable.

the woman displays an excellent
singing voice. Lewis & Hurst as an

as the big comedy hit of the per-
Torrance. The italian uses his abit-
ity with the Italian dialect to get
every laugh possible.
Capacity audiences at both per-
formances branded the bill even bet

week. It is better balanced, and
action is continued all the way. The
same program will be offered today

HART AND MARKOVA
ON FOXS PROGRAM

A big double program, fun Of vari-
ETY., with lots of thrills and lots of
laughter, will open for two days at
Fox's today. William S. Hart and
Sonia Markova, the latest Fox find,
are the featured stars, and each is
alone worth the price of admission.
Hart appears ini one of those pulsat-
ing western Dramas THE Apostle Of
Vengeance" that is positively packed
with excitement. 1t tells a story Of
pursuit and retributive justice, and
Mr.. Hart is at his best throughout the
entire five reels. Miss Markova, that
fascinating Russian of mysterious an
tecedents, is here in an absorbing
drama Of love and politics., as those
two games are played in diplomatic
Washington. This photoplay, which is
called "A Hearts Revenge" is color
full and stirring, and has an excellent
story. Thrill after thrill follows right
up to the climax, which takes place on
the sea, where Madame Markova, in
a swift motorboat chases after
schooner bound for China. This
schooner is bearing away her sweet
heart whom Russian Baron is en-
deavoring to lose so that he may him
self win the hand of Madam Sabouroff,
whom Markova portrays in the play.
The willy Chinaman enters into the
picture and lends much Oriental at
mosphere to it. To aid the Baron,
he brings from his laboratory a chem
ical which, when administered to a
person causes the victim to lose his
initiative and will power, and moth
ing but a severe blow on the head
will restore it. The blow comes, but
it's effect is an awful surprise to the
one who strikes it. "a Hearts Re-
venge' presents some mighty good,
clean and stirring entertainment. 1.-THE
Son-of-a~ Gun" is the title of another
one Of those absurdly funny Sunshine
Comedies which Is also on the pro-
gram. Like former Sunshines, this
one is brimful of pep and rib-tickling
laughter. The third chapter of that
serial thriller, 'sVengeance-and the
Woman" and some new antics Of
those comicaI cut-ups, Mutt and Jeff,
and the Pathe News are among the
other superior subjects of this big show
which will run continuously tomor-
row, the second show starting at 5
o'clock.

Straight bands of satin are applied to
the bodice. One of them at each side
extends over the shoulder and down
the back. The three bands on the
front and back of the bodice between
those at the sides, are pointed at the
top. They all hang several inches be-
low the waist and the end of each band
is threaded through a bead. Two of
these narrow silk bands are tackled
about the waist and the bands that are
applied to the bodice are threaded over
and under them and then tackled to
them. The ends hang free.
The same bands in five overlapping
rows are stitched about the tunic just
