brilliant star. at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre Sunday
June Elvidge appears in the role
of Eunice Terrence in this produc-
ton. She marries wealthy man
not the impecunious youth she is in
love with-and when the youth
stands in position where it looks
as though he was going to be &C
cused of murder and arrested for
the crime, she makes a supreme
sacrifice to save him. She Sacrifices
her good name, her home, every
thing for the man she had loved be-
fore her marriage and still loved
after her marriage.
The way in which she does this is
so effective as to entirely remove
! any and all suspicion from the
youth. But in her own heart she
feels that the youth is guilty and
when her husband divorces her be-
cause of the thing she dSd for her
| lover, she would have nothing to dc
with him.

What do you know about the
kaiser's private life?
Very little, it is probable.
Yet, do you know that there are
incidents in his private, life which
led directly to this awful world
war? This is already shown to be
fact by authoritative statements
from official sources.
Should you ask, what are these
private affairs, the answer would
be, see The Kaiser. the Beast of
Berlin" at the Majestic theatre

Did you know that the kaiser's
left arm is shorter by six inches
than his right and that there is a
very dark story in connection with
this fact. Perhaps you did not
know that the kaiser has an alb

the ladies of his court. He also

that he wears many beautiful rings.

Court Decides Reed
Bone-Dry Law Does
Not Apply to D. c,

A second attempt by the local au-
thorities to keep Washingtonians
with dry throats from moistening
them by importing or bringing bot
ties OF irrigating fluid from Balti-
more has fallen down.
The grand jury holds that when
Congress enacted the Reed Postof-
fee amendment creating the bone
dry provision. it did not have the
District Of Columbia in mind. The
law, in the opinion of the grand
jury. may apply to States and Ter
ritories. but not to the District of
Columbia. And therefore the indict-
ments drawn against Louis Pappas
and Robert Long were ignored.
Pappas and Long were caught in
raid last winter made by the De-
partment Of Justice in cooperation
with local authorities, who swooped
down on a train coming into town
and arrested sixty persons for car
rying unlabeled liquor purchased in
Baltimore.

Garden Lesson No. 2s.

Garden Lesson No. p.
Celery requires cool, rich and
very moist land. If your backyard
hasn't that. don't waste the time
and labor trying to raise 1t, as
truck gardeners can supply all of
1T you need. And it is one garden
crop you can do without if you
have to.
However. some backyards and
vacant lots are ideal for celery
production.
Celery must be started in a seed
bed in February, but gardeners can
purchase plants in June or July and
plant in the garden.
1t takes celery about four months
to mature, and has to be blanched.
That is done by drawing up earth
on each side of the plant, or placing
tile, boards or paper around them.
Celery is an ideal crop to follow
some early spring vegetables, like
radishes, onion sets. spinach or let
tuce, as these will be out of the
way when you transplant the eel
cry.
