Telltale Evidence.

An Indianapolis schoolteachcr. ac-
cor,ling to indianapolis News, tells the
following story:
A mother and her little boy were
walking down street in which food ad-
ministration membership cards were
especially thick.
.Those people don't have anything
to eat" said the little boy, pointing to
a house in which there was a food
card.
"Those people don't have anything 10
cat, either" he said at the next house.
"Those people don't have anything to
eat" he said at the next house in which
there WAS Il food card.
By this time the mother began to
wonder what her young son was talk
Ing about.
"Those people don't have anything to
eat" the little boy said Mt the next
house.
"\Vhat on earth do you mean by say
ing that those people don't have any
thing to rat?" asked the mother
"They have a card like ours" said
the son.

Sands of the Kenyon Red Cross:
"Received your letter a few days

some person in that vicinity has
made the statement that I have pur'
chased socks and other garments
from the Red Cross.

AT REY Tonight

If you want to be carried back to
the days of the old swimmin' hole,
cookie baking and other youthful
joys, just see Little Mary McAllister
in young Mother HUBBARD at the
Rex tonight This excellent comedy
drama will instantly lift the burdens
Of many years from your shoulders,
carrying you back to the days when
YOU scorned shoes and stockings in
summer
The picture is intensely human,
and has a heart appeal that will
bring tears to the eyes of even those
who ordinarily laugh at persons who
cry over movie situations. On the
other hand, there is a wealth Of HUI
morous situations to offset the pa
tbos. The picture is so well bal
anced that the loughs come just in
time to relieve the tenseness of the
pathetic scenes, and the ending is
so happy that everyone will leave the
theater with a smile of conten tment.
young Mother HUBBARD depends
almost entirely upon a group of chill
dren for it's action. There are adults
in the picture, of course, but they
are, for the most part, in the back
ground. Little Mary Is supported
by an excellent cast of Juveniles.

THEATERS
At THE. GRAND

AL IdE GkAND
Criticisms of "A Mans Man" In
the six daily newspapers of Los An
geles actually graded 100 per cent.
Unanimously they complimented ev-
erything connected with the picture,
especially the fine, clean work of Mr..
Kerrigan, Miss Lois Wilson and Miss
Ida Lewis; the devotion to details in
the settings, the practically faultless
direction, superb photography, and
the excellence of Mr.. Kyne's story as
adapted for the picture. At the
Grand theater last night this seven
reel production pleased all who at
tended. Praise was unstinted. "A
Mans Man" will again be shown at
the Grand tonight.
Such Mothers Exist.
For genuine deep human feeling,
few actresses have succeeded in
equalling Vera Wilton in such a role
as she appears in 1.-THE Rosary
which will appearat the Grand thea
ter Tuesday night, January Is. Miss
Vera Wilton is cast as the wife of
a wealthy Wall Street magnate, and
she certainly looks motherly with
her warm, all-embracing smile, as
we'll as her ready sympathy as ex-
pressed in her eyes: No man or
woman can look upon Miss Wilton's
portrayal without being uplifted and
cheered that such mothers exist and
spread their sunshiny influence in
this cold and oft times cruel world.
Miss Vera Wilson is wonderful in
her costumes and makeup, but most
wonderful in being and living the
very character-for the moment
that she is playing the wife.

SOLDIERS ARRESTED
FOR PETTY THEFTSS
Members Of 4. E. F. Must Behave
Themselves at All Times

Headquarters American Troops with
the British Army in France, June Il.
Corresponding of the Associated
Press) A purloinod goose was the
cause of so much trouble for a few
soldiers of the American army recent
~ that they now consider that the bird
would have been cheap even at the
nigh war prices that prevail in these
regions.
The complaint Of the woman who
lost the goose was the only one re-
celVed at the headquarters of the di-
vision to which the men belonged;
she promptly received satisfa ction in
the coin of the country and the men
were obliged to digest their feast in
the guard house while they reflected
upon the rules regarding 'foraging.'
"Of course there are worse things
a soldier can do than to swipe a
goose" said an officer of the division
in question, but even that is more
than shall be permitted in this force,
We came over here to do a laudablc
thing and we are going to do it clean
ly. Whatever we draw from this
country is going to be paid for in due
form and the few men in our ranks
who dare try any other other system
will pay dearly for their experience"
Other units of the American army
in this zone have not had a single case
of this kind. The men behave even
better than at home: they are getting
on splendidly with the inha bitants and
with their allies. Guardhouse cases
are rare and are generally for insig-
nificant misconduct.
"Insubordination." said one officer,
'is often the consequence of a crouch.
Our men have few grievances and we
have little trouble with them"
The dignified but friendly way in
which the average officer tells a man
where he falls short provokes earnest
ness instead of the resentment that
more brutal methods engender in
some European armies.
THAT'S bad" said a lieutenant in
cha rye of q company at rife practice,
handing a poor record back to q, SOL
der. you'd better try again."
ct never could shoot much, sir"
replied the soldier. visibly relieved at
being let down so easily, "but I'll do
better next time" He came on with
another detail and did far better
The excellent feeling between Of
ficers and men that results from this
kind of discipline Is apparent every
where among the troops billetted in
this area. It difficult to find sour
