Special Chef to Disguise Billie Burke's Prunes.

Billie Burke's Prunes.
 enced any serious trouble in filming Billie Burke's Paramount picture, "The Mysterious Miss Terry" di- rector J. Searle Dawley told the fol- lowing anecdote:
 '"It seems that Billie Burke as Miss Terry is resident of a board ing-house where, as everyone knows" said MT. Dawley, people eat prunes daily with relish. Billie Burke having just returned from the Biltmore where she had lunched, found it impossible to accomplish the feat, and it was necessary to find substitute for the prunes that would appeal to her epicurean pal ate as well as resemble the prunes in question closely enough to give the required boarding house atmos- phere.' This was done by f1avoring a dish of extra quality California peaches with chocolates process known only to most expensive French chef who had to be hired for the purpose" Aside from this, Di- rector Dawley said he had had no difficulty.
 This picture will be shown to- night at the Coliseum.

 Dear Sirs:
 After receiving the tobacco and answering the enclosed card, feel a note of appreciation, as you sug- eest on the box, is the proper thing to do towards you.
 In my estimation the work you are engaged in, the sending of to- bacco to the boys over here, is a blessing to the boys. It may in terest you to know that some of the boxes have been issued to the boys in the trenches. If you coud see the pleased faces and hear the many expressions of joy you would feel more than repaid for your good work Though many cards may not be answered don't be discouraged, the boys are doing a i"Le-man's job" and letter writing time is Him. tied, also the number of letters by each individual is limited. ssI
 You ask me to tell or my eXpeTl- ences. They are not numerous and -fors fear of treading on militry matters, l can't say very much. However, I might say that at pres ent my job is dispatch-bearer from headquarters to the front. Outside of lodging shrapnel and "cant you, don't you" shells (high explosives) there isn't much to wor- ry about unless you happen to stop some anti-aircraft shells as they shower down Everybody keeps in the best of spirits and resorts gto our favorite saying, Well, we can't be worried about that"
 Again thanking you for the to- bacco and hoping this attempt at letter don't bore you to death, I am

SPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif, June 21 will be one of the major sports which will be carried on along the Pacific Coast with the least inter ference so far as the war is con cerned. Already number of teams, both in California and in the North west, are making arrangements for some preliminary training either dur ing the Summer months or early in the Fall prior to the commencement: of the regular season.
 That the teams of the North west and those of California will meet on the gridron this year in regular schedules, as in the past, appears practically certain and the interest in these games is expected to be maintained at least as war as the student bodies of the various colleges and universities are con cerned. Whether or not the public at large will attend in the numbers as formerly remains to be seen.
 All of the Pacific Coast institu- tions played the game last Fall, While the majority of them lost many of their star players, the fate that the teams were maintained by the use of players as were avail able will it is believed make far better play this season due to the instruction given the recruits last Upar
