Music One OF The
Important Subjects
Taught In Schools

Hot Springs, Ark. May AFTER
the three RS" Of reading. writing
and arithmetic. music is the most i'm
ject taught in the public schools, in
the opinion Of Philander P. Claxton,
commissioner Of education Of the
United States. Mr.. Claxton was to
have addressed the convention Of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs here today but was unable to
be present on account Of pressing
government work. Instead he sem
a message which was read to the con-
%vention.
II believe most fully in the value
of music as an important factor in
the education and life Of any people,"
he wrote, land especially of a free
people with a democratic form Of
government. The songs Of a nation

termining legislation and obedience
to law, which in a democracy is only
the formulation of public opinion and
popular sentiment cannot easily be
estimated. After reading, writing
and arithmetic, I consider music the
most important and the most prac-
hope your federation will constantly
and persistently use its influence for
the promotion Of the teaching Of mu-
sic in all our schools Of whatever

Commissioner C1axton-4also {" asked
the club women to work for the well

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS find REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are eIated
ever the fact that they have at last
found a genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throat and o.
grippe. For years they have depend
ed chiefly upon the old style calO-
mel. which is certainly fine. but un-
Fortunately many people won Il not
take IL because OF its nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess
caIomel tablet called 'Calotabs"
whose medicinal virtues are vastly
improved. the doctors and druggists
are claiming that CalCtabs are the
IDEAL remedy to abort cold over
night and cut short an attack OF
sore throat or relieve la grippe
They are also finding IL most effec-
tive as the first step in the treat
nent CT pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating or your work and pleasure.
The next morning your cold has
vanished and your whole system
feels purified and refreshed. Gallo
tabs are sold only in original seal

PALACE.

David Wark Griffith, in presenting
'The Greatest Thing in Life" a mo-

and pathos, now running at Loew's
Palace Theater. has achieved a sue

the great war.
two stars of Heart of the World"
take the leading roles in Griffith's
latest. Their acting is almost fault
less. and contributes greatly sto the
general excellence of the production.
The first scenes of the play are laid
in America, where Harron, as the
wealthy American, meets the daugh-
ter of a French tobacconist played
by Miss Gish. Then follow the hap
peninEs which bring the principals to
France. The war breaks out and
Griffith proceeds to give full play to
his ability to pull at the heartstrings
OF his audience. The war ends and
the lovers are united.
Elmo Lincoln, as the French poilu
in love. brings distinction upon him
self, as does peaches" Jackson as
the demure little French maiden OF
five summers.
Adolphe Lestina, David Butler, Ed
ward Peil, and Kate Bruce, the Other
main participants in the picture. also
contribute to the general excellence
Of the latest Griffith presentation.
Short subjects and the musical fea-
lures add to the charm of the Palace

SAVOY AND APOLLO.

"He Comes Up Smiling" shown at
Crandalrs Apollo and Savoy Theaters
yesterday and to be repeated at both
houses tonight, provides a distinct
novelty in that it presents Douglas
Fairbanks in a film version of one OF
his own stage successes.
Cast as a young bank clerk in a
small town who tires OF his monoto-
nous existence and becomes a tramp,
Fairbanks renders a refreshingly
original Characterization. His numer-
Gus adventures as he follows his self
appointed calling provide a full quo
ia Of thrills and permit the introduc-
tion Of all the time-honored Fair
banksian stunts" as well as several
new ones.
The humorous side, of course, pre-
dominates and serves to keep the au-
dience in constant gales OF laughter
A well-chosen cast appears in Fair
banks support
The programs are completed by
shorter films.

improbable? Probably so. But
Guy Bates Post makes through the
excellence of his art even the i'm
probable seem probable. That two men
should so resemble each other as did
John Chilcote, NJ. P, and his cousin.
John Loder, penny-a-liner. is not i'm
possible, but that the resemblance
should be so strong as to hoodwink
Chilcote's wife is almost too great
an appeal to ones credulity. In,
many things even twins are not
alike.
Post makes of Chilcote an irritat-
ing person. his morphia habit all
powering and disgusting to healthy
minds and perplexingly strange to
his friends. War clouds appear on
the horizon and. when Mr.. Chilcote,
NJ. P. must do his duty for England
and humanitS-lo. he is in the midst
of a morphia debauch.
BY chance Chilcote meets his twin,
John Loder. in a London fog. Com
pleteIy overcome by the desire for
his soul-destroying drug, the parlia-
mentary leader prevails upon Lode
to replace him for a few days.
He attains his object by a ruse
that strains the imagination a bit,
but the new John Chilcote is accept
ed by all, behind and before the foot
lights. While Loder is making
reputation in the House of Com
mons, Chilcote is lying stupid and
broken at Cliffords Inn. a prey to
hideous shadows and vague whispers.

masterfully shown by Mr.. Post.
Rather skimped, though, is the un-
folding of Mrs. chficote's recognition

endings, they demand much.
Lionel Belmore,- as the loyal ser
want, Brock. who served Chilcote. his
father and his grandfather with un-

greatly in the faithful presentation
of the star. He provides much Of

LYCEUM.

THE Tempters," who will be at the
Lyceum Theater all this week. were
seen for the first time last night be-
fore a large audience, an audience
which seemed to appreciate the
ability OF rhe actors and rewarded
the snappy toke.. songs, and dances
with storms OF applause.
This snappy burlesque show Is
made up of an all-star cast, including
that well-known Hebrew comedian.
Max Fields. with William Davis and
Bunny Dale.
Max Fields has mastered the Jewish
dialect to perfection, and when he
demonstrates how fuently he can
speak the language he is greeted with
shouts and laughs. combined with
hand-clapping.

with the Yankees in France" Is
the best of Mr.. Holmes last summers
collection of pictures thus far shown,
and is attended by a lecture which is
on a par with the display. The audi
ence which filled the National Theater
last night was kept at a high pitch
of expectancy as marvel after marvel
was shown in American preparation
for and in the conduct of the supply
department in the war which is over.
Camp Meades" raised almost over
night in France, pictured from the
lowered shade trees beside favored
highways, the saw mills and the
framework to the hustling Yankees
completing the storehouses, the bar
racks, the hangers, and the miles OF
railway. imade one feel that the
French are right in their opinion that
the Americans are a wonderful people.
Greatest in interest, however, were
the views of the salvage work, which
reclaims millions of dollars worth Of
apparel from the battlefields. Hills,
actually hills, of recovered oeercoats.
covered with tarpaulins-so big that
they looked like the circus tops
were shown, as were many of the
81 900 men and women of France and
Belgium working for General PERISH
ing in this service.
But the picture that made last
nights audience move about in the
seats was the starting of a motor
supply corps for the front.
The regular chauffeurs marched
into view in military formation. Then
the long line of parked trucks, began
to swing into line, driven by the men
who in railway roundhouses would
be called "hostlers.v As each truck
reached headquarters its new chauf-
feur leaped aboard, took the wheel,
and the "hostler" jumped of, the
truck not lessening its speed in the
operation. II was just a sample of
American pep" which won applause
from this Washington audience.
The humor of the eveuin's pro
gram, outside of that ripping through
the lecture. was found in the raising
of an ancient drawbridge at the
citadel at Anglers. Holmes saw the
possibilities of a "movieS of the
hoisting OF this bridge, which had
not been raised for many, many years.
The efforts to lift the thing failed
until an American "jack" was brought
from the auto.
Red Cross work among the soldiers
formed an appealing part of the pro-
gram last night.
The lecture will be repeated at 4:3n
this afternoon and at $3.50 next Sun
day afternoon.
