HEARTS OF THE WORLD"
AT THE PALACE

"Heatrs OF the World" David w
Griffith's undisputed materpiece as
all the world has conceded, is not a
war story or propaganda picture
but love story pure and simple.
And never was the sweetest story
ever told framed in such a setting.
The grim, gaunt, spectre-haunted,
war-ridden fields OF France are the
scenes of its action and its charming
love episodes were played to the mu
sic of English, French and German
cannon. Noyon, rhe picturesque
French town where the American
boys were lighting, was chosen by
Mr.. Griffith as the locale for his
story, and all his players were tak.n
there IN order to get scenes that
would TIT with his sense OF reality.
Reality is the one fetish Of the mas
ter producer, and for it Dorothy and
Lillian Gish and Robert Harron, as
well as the producer, endured many
dangers. They were under shell fire
eleven different times, once for
eight hours. They went through ter
rible hardshipS that the story of
France might be visuaized for the
people OF America, and that it might
live long after the struggle is over.
Noyon then was just behind the
French lines and easily within the
reach OF German guns. Yet here il
was that the love scenes were taken
every now and then interrupted by |
the bursting in the vicinity of a
souvenir sent by the polite Germans.

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN BOYS
silly Idea That Those Born in May
Are Naturally More Cruel Than
Other Youngsters.

What is the origin of the belief that
boys born in the month of May are
cruel by nature? In Notes and Queries
John It. Page says that he was born in
May, "and as look back into the days
of my boyhood / am often Mortified &c
recall many acts of cruelty perpetrated
by me, and at my instigation, on birds
and animals. l seem TO have delighted
In these acts of cruelty until l was
about twelve years old. when they
ceased" Mr.. Page adds that as man
he is supersensitive. Il cannot now
kill bird or an animal without ex-
periencing most poignant feelings OF
adherence of the act"
Are not nearly all healthy boys de-
structive and cruel? They were in our
little village, writes Philip Hale in the
Boston Herald. One of our favorite
amusements was the reckless employ
ment of sling and buckshot. We would
lie on the roof of the minister's house
on Elm street and plug horses, dogs,
farmers in carts or on wood sledges,
Just to see them jump. Nor were we
then aware that surprise was the chief
element of wit. "That's what makes a
man laugh so when he sits down on q
bent pin" Kidding the windows Of a
schoolhouse was almost as good sport
as tearing off the pickets of Deacon
Bodman's feni.e. Hitting little boys
heads with iceballs, not snowballs,
was a favorite winter amusement. II
was considered good joke to kidnap
a youngster at night, take him far into
the Bridge street graveyard and then
run away from him. Tormenting cats
and dogs was common when small
boy was not easily caught. The sling
ers, the throwers of other missiles and
the tormentors of animals were surely
not all born in May. Nor We're all boys
born in May skilled in rude or ingen-
lous torturing.

UNITED THOUGH FAR APART
Ceremony Known as "Handschoen"
Recognized Under the Dutch Law
as Legal Form Of Marriage.

Not so very long ago Boer in Pre-
toria was married to a girl in Amster-
dam, Holland, the ceremony constitute
ing what the Dutch call handschoen.
or glove marriage.
In spite of the fact that distance
of 5000 miles lay between the bride
In the Netherlands and the bridegroom
In the Transvaal they were just as eff
fectively married under the Dutch law
as If both had been present in the
same church.
The bridegroom sent to his friend,
or best man, in Amsterdam power
of attorney to represent him as his
proxy at the ceremony, and at the
same time forwarded his glove, which
at the proper moment, when the two
were made one, was held by both the
bride and the proxy. The wedding
was duly registered at Amsterdam
6Nd at Pretoria. where the bridegroom
fled an affidavit with the proper mag
istrate.
This curious form of marriage is a
purely Dutch institution, the custom
having originated, it is said. in the
old times of Dutch-Batavian rule. 1t
Is, however, dead letter in the Trans
yaal since the English took over that
colony.

Thirsty? Use Belt to Get Drink.

have arranged their stores in taste
full and Christmassy manner: unfor-
tunately. others have not. There is
no question but that the Christmas
spirit has to be displayed in COM
mercial way in order 10 encourage a
greater Christmas buying.
There are large stores in Annapolis
which are well stocked with as good a
variety OF holiday goods as may be
desired. A comparison of prices with
those 70 be found in Baltimore shows
that the home prices are in all cases
fully as low and. in majority OF in
stances. are appreciably lower. The
best posted shoppers will agree with
this statement
Why. then. should we "let Baltimore
have it?" The merchants here are
rightfully entitled to this business and
this money belongs at home. We be-
lieye that il the proper effort is made
and the Annapolis shoppers made 10
feel that their business is really want
ed by local merchants, there will be a
noticeable falling of in Baltimore
trade from Annapolis and a CORES
pondingly large increase in home buy
ing.

aLET BALTIMORE HAVE IT.

There is too much the spirit of ''let
Baltimore have it" among Annapolis
people. There appears to be a settled
conviction among the business men,
in particular. that il isn't worth while
to attempt opposition to anything Bal
timore does-that If Baltimore express
SEES a wish or a determination to get
anything there is nothing that can be
done to thwart them.
And this is fine for Baltimore
So long as this passive spirit ex-
lists Baltimore is going to prosper ana
Annapolis suffer If the Annapolis
business man is content to "let Balti-
more have it" then Baltimore Will most
assuredly reach out and take away the
retail trade which belongs at home.
We believe there is a certain spirit
of loyalty to Annapolis among the citi-
zens. We find that San speak well of
the city. are proud of it and are inter
ested in seeing it prosper But citi-
zens generally have caught the spirit
of the merchants themselves. and.
lacking sufficient inducement and urg-
ing, go to Baltimore to do their buy
ing.
Merchants themselves are much.
perhaps all, TO blame for this condi-
ton. This is the Christmas season. a
time when merchants everywhere are
enjoying the largest business of the
year. a time when their stocks should
be largest, most temptingly displayed
and widely advertised. Yet some
ladies intent upon Christmas shopping
reported yesterday that the city was
practically sold out of certain staple
which is sold in particularly large
quantities at the holiday season.
There Will be large quantities of this
staple sold yet before New Year and
undoubtedly Baltimore viii sell to
those who would otherwise purchase
in Annapolis.
Many of the stores have taken cog
nizance of the Christmas season and

THE H0NOR SYSTEM

There are hotels and restaurants
which are run upon the honor system.
No bill is given. You pay the amount
you say you owe and no questions are
askd. You can buy your morning pa
per from an unguarded pile by throw
ing down the coins and going on
There are Offices, fortunately many Of
them, where one is not rquired TO
punch a time card as he enters and
leaves All thse are ventures in de-
mocracy. They breathe of equality
and personal responsibility. They as
sumo that an American can be trusted.
Just so is the latest program from
the United States Food administration.
Certain necessary big revelations have
been established such as the restaur-
ant and hotel rulings in regard to
bread and butter. double cream, more
than one kind of meat, etc. These are
necessary in order To protect the pa
triot from the Stacker. just as certain
laws are needed even in a democratic
state.
In the homes, however, there are no
hard and fast rules. You are not
asked to present meat coupons. nor
are you guarded as you buy your
weeks supply of fats, nor above all
does an officer come to drive away
Germany.
No one tells you how you shall use
the food you buy All of these things
are left to you, the big individual you,
and your government knows that you
will make no sacrifice of your honor.
III there was great need TO conserve
our food supply and avoid every form
of food waste during the war. there
is even greater need now Again the
country must look to its women and
the American woman must begin right
now to increase the rigidity of her con-
servation rules. The starved in Europe
must eat now, and not wait until next
spring. Reserves must be piled up to
be ready to fill the ships when they
oleAAh dlbtA Jul SOAliGtHs vi llG
coming will be delayed.
The women of America have proved
what they can do when the country
calls on them for food. They will not
fail in this greater task when the
country calls for more. and still more
food--not for our own soldiers. or
even the allies alone. but for a famish-
cd world. The work of the women in
the homes will last for long while
yet-until Europe gets back on its
feet But right now-right today-the
task is greatest of all, because so
much must be accomplished in a few
months. The American women can do
it-they can save food to win the
world, just as they saved food to win
the war.
