WEST END

William s. Hart's new Arttcraft picture, "The Border Wireless ,'' which will be shown at the West End theatre tonight and tomorrow night, has been designated by those who have had pre-views of the pro- duction as a picture with a real thrill" Of course, every Hart pie ture has a thrill, a consistent story with action in every foot, but the fact that this one is concerned large ly with the machinations of a band of Hun p1otters in America on the border of Mexico, gives added inter est and enables the star to depict certain phases of the war at home which are not only timely, but decid- edly fascinating.

scented by the Rocky Mountains, the line was completed m 1869. A sec- ond transcontinental system was chartered in 1864, and under the name of the Northern Pacific, but the Union Pacific was in operation be- fore work on the new line actually commenced. Financial disaster over took the company in 1873, and it was not until ten years later that the last golden spike was driven. Two other transcontinenta1 systems were completed in 1883, and little later the Canadian Pacific line was con- Pleted across the Dominion.

SOAP AND POSSIBLE FAMINE
Youngsters Have No Worry Over ln- pending Danger-Conservation
 of the Present Supply.

Probably all the youngsters, particu- larly the boys, believe that while there's life there's soap. The millen- ial dream of their childhood years would come could they but escape the daily tnquisition of soap and water.
 Apparently there will never be wa- ter shortage. But, according to ad- vices from Washington, indicating pos sible failure of the soap supply unless everyone coRserves carefully, there Is a faint hope for the youngsters of re- lief from a part of the daily sanitary ordeal. Oh joy!
 If all the fathers of the country will carelessly leave the soap in their bath water enough times, and all the moth- CTS will carefully wrap their wet wash rags around the cakes, and all the kids will blow sufficient number of soap bubbles. observes a writer in the ftsl- waukee Journal, there will not any more of the hateful stuff that tH Ger mans first introduced for cleansing purposes and to the discomfort of bil- lions of happy boys and girls. Folks did not use soap in Biblical days. They had only ashes and grease to scrub with. The early Greeks and Romans got along without it. Why should 1t be a necessity today?
 The old folks may look forward with fear to a soap famine. They may de precate the lessened production of fats and the inability to transport vegetable oils from over the seas. They may call those who waste soap citizen slackers, nonpatriots and all that. But the youngsters have their own opinion. On with the soap. Let it all be bathed up quickly. Then a long. long rest from the daily soap annoyance.

Bringing Home the Germs.

When our soldier boys mingle with the soldiers of all nationalities and fight over strange and disease-soaked soil they may acquire many strange disease germs and. returning to Ameri- ca, bring them along, warns World Outlook. Pestilence has generally been a camp follower of war. But sci ence is dealing with this problem with unprecedented vigor. Sir William Os- Ter said Never before in history has SC great a host been assembled; never before in war time have armies been so healthy"
 Yet we are warned as to the danger of indiscriminate immigration after the war and of the great need of care ful medical and sanitary preparation to combat the unfamiliar diseases that Sammies will bring home.

A fedgling author at the Century club in New York drew forth a manu- script and volunteered to read 1t to Robert W. Chambers.

Well, Bob, I want-ha, Ina, ha .-I want to use you in the same way. Have a drink and cigar and then"

Some years ago there was boom town, Blessing, on the gulf coast of Texas, relates the New York Evening Sun. A newcomer built a shack there near the railway station. On one side he had q barber chair and necessary equipment, and on the other a forge and anvil. Between the two trades he managed to make a living.
 One day a travelling salesman went into the shack, threw himself into the barber chair and asked that he be shaved so he could catch a train that was due in fifteen minutes.
