This is a story of the south and
the war, and later Of the west with
Harry Carey as "Kaintuck' Cass
poor but proud, who was. turned
down when he volunteered to fight
| because he wasn't a. gentleman
| That's a much abused word, as we
all know, and before the story's end
| you will easily see who was the real
| gentleman in the case. Because try
as he might, Cass couldn't be any
thing else but gentle, and so his ef-
forts to kidnap Molly and make her
| believe him an outlaw took q sud-
den change when someone told him
! that Molly was an Octoroon. That
was too much for Cass, and the re-
suit Is a. most surprising one. THE
Scarlet Drop" at the Liberty today
and Saturday, ia a somewhat diff
ferent picture, and you'll like it.
THE Honeymoon" delightful
swift comedy Of material Inishaps
starring Constance Talmadge, will

when Dick Greer, on his honeymoon
| with Susan, high-strung Jealous and
| lovable withal, sets out to buy off
Maisfe Middleton Of the Jigfeld
Frolics, who has attached herself to
Phil Lane, Susan's brother. She
sees him in the actress dressing
| room and, since Phil has kept this
affair secret from his sister, she
suspects Dick, flies into a tantrum,
| moves into a separate room at the
! hotel, refuses to listen to explana-
ton, and wires her Uncle Jimmy to
|, institute divorce proceedings.
He receives from Dick a true ex-
PLANTATION of the mixup and leaves
for Niagara, with the rest Of the
| family. to patch up the difficulty.
After he leaves, however, Susan's
dispositions arrive, and an over
Jealous partner secures a, record
breaking divorce. Uncle Jimmy finds
the ,newIyweds, now reconciled, dis
traught over the news Of the decree.
He is at a loss to advise them, when
Dick finds a minister and Is remar-
ried. to Susan. Amid smiling bles-
sings, she swears off suspicion and
he VOWS that this time he will pay
undivided attention to the honey
moon.
Fatty Arbuckle in THE Bell Boy
completes the bill.
Smiling June Caprice will be
shown on the screen at the Isis to-
day and Saturday in William FoX's
latest photoplay "Blue Eyed Mary"
In blue Eyed Mary" Miss Caprice
has one of the best stories Of her
career. 1t gives her a chance to
display dramatic ability far beyond
anything she has attempted before.

Why Torpedoed Ships Sink.

The committee appointed by the
Council Of the Institution of Naval Ar
chitecture to inquire into the effects of
explosions of mines and torpedoes
upon the structure of merchant ships
find that there are three principal
causes Of loss. First, the existence. of
a forward reserve bunker partitioned
off from the cargo hold by non-wa-
tertight bulkhead. A second cause of
loss is the failure to close the water
tight door in the engine room bulk
head leading to the shaft tunnel. A
third danger lies in the main drain
pipes, leading from the bilge pumps to
the different compartments, and pass
ing through all watertight bulkheads,
which are generally fractured in tor
pedoed compartments, .. There should
be non-return valves on the end of
these pipes. The committee recon-
mends that bulkheads should be pro-
tected as far as possible from flying
splinters, at least temporarily, by using
timber or other suitable material as q

The Spending Of Your
Hundred Million Dollars


tricts, including care Of Ave thousand
families and sufficient reconstruction
to make houses habitable, required
over two millions.
Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are all large items; but the
Red Cross is graphing with human
misery on an unparalleled scala
world Of it. The item for. relief Of the
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars The dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thirty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re-
eeives and distributes more than two
hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris.
For this distribution and it's other
work it requires a big transportation
service Of motors and trucks. This
transportation service has cost q mill
lion and half, and its operating e5
penses run to million dollars.
Every dollar it spends means misery
alleviated. Its work is building abroad
for the United States the best good will
In this world. It is building the best
good will among ourselves. Whatever
else the war may produce, we shall be
proud Of our Red Cross.

Woman Champion Maker Of Flea
The title of worlds champion arti-
flcial fly maker is proudly claimed for
Miss Alice Sherwin Coleman Of New
York, who for more than decade has
been making flies for anglers. Some
Idea Of her reputation among the dis
ciples Of Izaak Walton may be gath
cred from the fact that she and her
assistants make 500. OO0. worth Of flies
for fishing enthusiasts every year.
Miss Coleman makes 800 different
varieties of flies regularly summer
and winter, special orders bringing the
number up to 1900 varieties altogether;
for such Is Miss Coleman's reputation
that exacting fishermen In the wilds
Of America sometimes catch strange
flies that hover over particular streams
and send them alive In q ventilated
bottle 80 that she may study and re-
produce them accurately. zz.-.---

The Good That Comes of It,

Do you think that the war is making
people less selfish in the world and in
the United States? Surely it must,
when in so many places people are sac
rificing their dear ones and their
money for a cause. Even if it seems
to some more question of honor and
family or national tradition than JUS
tice or freedom. I often think of the
rank and file of the German army, and
even the junior officers. They are suf-
fering untold hardships. and showing
magnificent bravery in the face of
heavy odds, as much as, perhaps more
than, the soldiers of the allies. AL
though one must be here to realize
that men have risen to height of
courage and endurance in this war that
people living in modern civilization
never dreamed of. Surely some gain
must come from this tremendous eff
fort and conquest Of self, and Germany
must not be entirely loser, when her
sons, even if forced, have paid such
price.-Edwin A. Abbey, II, in the At
lantic.

Cosmopolitan Odessa.

Odessa, recently entered by German
troops, furnishes the most remarkable
instance in Europe of a rapid growth,
like that Of the mushroom cities of the
New World. Founded in 1894 on the
site of small Turkish fortress which
had been taken by the Russians few
years previously, it does not possess a
single building which by any stretch
of imagination could be described as
old. The city as we'll as the port owes
its origin to Frenchman named De
Ribas, an officer in the Russian army
who had led the attack on the Turkish
stronghold. French influence is strong,
and there are important commercial
French and British colonies. Italians,
Greeks, Bulgarians, Tartars, Arme-
mans, Georgtans, and other races in
addition to the Jews and Russians
make up the population Of this cosmo-
pOlitan city.

Superstition is relic Of the dark

wise men, land it has no place on the
battle ground Of modern thought.

toes on Good Friday, nor in seeing
the moon over my left shoulder. I

lieve In walking around stump three
times to change my luck. Neither am

are nonsense. They are in the same
class with that old idea about hang
Ing a horseshoe over the door. That's
an old, played-out scheme, and -
never was worth whocp.
There's only one thing in the whole
list Of lucky or unlucky omens that
works out in every detail, and that's
the idea Of finding a penny and keep
Ing 1t for good luck.
"About three months ago 1 picked
up an old green penny that was ly-
Ing in the gutter. I chucked it In the
match pocket of my coat, and I have
kept it there ever since
Before took to carrying the penny
I couldn't turn my hand over without
losing money, and ever since then I've
made money at every turn of the road.
That's why know it is lucky"
LET me look at your lucky penny?"
remarked bystander. "Td just like
to touch the thing"
The penny-wise man ran two fingers
into his match pocket, and. as he did
so he exclaimed.
"By cracky! I'll bet I've lost the
blamed thing. In fact, Iknow have.
l sent this coat to the dry cleaner the
day after I found the penny, and I for
got to remove it from the pocket"
