Patriotic Leagnc Actl,ilies.

The drive that the Patriotic
league girls are planning for old
gold, silver. copper, lead, brass,
pewter. iron or old rubber should
set every house wife in Rock Island
thinking what she may have in her
household that is no longer of use
and may be given, in this drive.
First let il be understood just why
this drive is being launched and
why the league girls are having this
big melting pot There are two
reasons First, because the gov
eminent needs all kinds of metal in
the making Of munitions. This Is
being done as war work. They
will a. all useless pieces OF
iewelry. ... Old medals. scrap iron.
rubber nose. automobile and bicycle
tires. and turn them over to gov
eminent agencies who will send
them 10 the muniti0u factories. The
second reason is that they wish to
60 relief work in France among
the French fatherless children.
There are coo, 900 Of these orphans
in France and 100, 600 mothers who
90 not have half the means TO care
for them. The French government
Is doing all il can. Ii gives 10 cents
q day for the support OF these or
phans but that is not enough to in
sure healthy children. Tubercu-
lOsis is increasing at an alarming
rate. Some financial aid must come
from outside. America has been
called upon TO give aid in this
movement The committee for ia
therless children of France has
been formed and this committee has
distributed the care of children
throughout the United States in the
larger towns. aIlOtinE a certain
number TO each city. Rock Island

from this melting pot will go to

TRUCK SKIDS AND
DAMAGES BUILDING
ON SECOND AVENUE

Several pedestrians narrowly es-
capped serious injury and perhaps
death late yesterday afternoon
when heavy truck belonging to
the Rock Island Sand & Gravel
company skidded while proceeding
east on Second avenue near Six
teenth street. and, becoming un-
manageable. ran over the curb,
grased the metal telegraph pole on
the northeast corner, and crashed
into the side of the building.
Upon investigation it was discov-
cred that a steering knuckle on
the machine had broken. The truck
was empty at the time. but the
force OF the impact tore a large
hole in the brick wall of the struc-
ture. Fortunately, no pedestrians
were on the corner at the time.

Several new features in game pro. lection have been introduced during the past year.
 The first game law placed on the statute books of any State through the medium of an initiative petition was adopted in Arizona. Hunting game with flying machines has been made illegal in North Carolina by law prohibiting shooting water fowl on any of the waters of the State from an airplane.
 Cat-liceEse bills introduced in Mas sachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere. seem to have failed uniformly but in two States brief cat laws have passed. Massachu- setts passed a law prohibiting pos session of cats on Muskegat Island or the bringing of any cats to the Island. and Michigan declared cats follow ing on the track of game birds or small game public nuisances, and de- creed that the owner who permitted them to run at large after notice from the game commissioner shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor.

AUSTIN, Tex, June II. The trining Of hundreds of thousands of men for military service in great cantonments. camps and schools of instruction within it's borders places Texas among the foremost States of the Union in military acticity since the United States entered the war. There are approximately 40 camps and schools of military instruction in the State.

Tread Review Boosts
 Baby Marie 0sbrone in Told at Twilight"

Told at Twilight" is one of the 1 best Marie Osborne pictures that Pathe has released, says the re- viewer in The Trade Review. It is plain story full of heart inter-
 est and well defined comedy that | will provide an entertainment of
 quality for both old and young
 alike. The plot surrounding the ac-
 tions of Marie Osborne offers the op-
 portunity of a quantity of kid | stun" which is handled in a way
 that does not bore, but will cause
 more than one outburst of merri-
 ment, from the audience. The little
 girl who desires to go bathing with
 her male companions and begins to
 pull off her clothes just like her
 masculine playmates-the sortie up-
 on the chicken coop causing fight
 among the peaceful fowl-the imi-
 tation of blind people to gain enough money for lollypops-are all pre- sented in such an out and out kid
 style that human appeal can never
 be found lacking.
 The major portion of the play IS taken up with the pranks of this little girl and her male escort Of an ebony hue. These pranks occn- py the first two reels and not until then does the plot itself begin to de- velop. As the story unfolds, there is a gradual increase in interest un- til the final reel, when most ap- propriate and appealing climax adds the finishing touches to an excep- tionally interesting photoplay s From the photographic and direc- torial standpoint the picture de- serves praise. The even running Of the plot and many well selected scenes only show the extreme care, on the part of Director King. in presenting a well balanced produc- tion.

"The Stacker Stars a Native American.

Emily Stevens, star of Metros special production de luxe, "The Stacker" written and directed by William Christy Cabanne, is mounting steadily higher in the artistic Armament. There is not on the American stage a young wo- man of more brilliant achievements, or greater promise for the future. And "The Stacker" places her at the zenith of her powers.
 It is fitting that Miss Stevens should be chosen to play the lead ing role in this superb photodrama of patriotism, for she comes of fine old American stock. Emily Ste vens is a niece of Mrs. Fiske, the celebrated actress, and the daugh- ter of Robert E. Stevens and Elm ma Maddern, also prominent players. She made her debut on the speaking stage with Mrs. Fiske, playing the part of maid in Becky Sharp and she remained in her aunts company several years, playing and studying stage technique.
 After winning praise in Leah Kleschna," she was given the lead ing feminine role in "The Devil" with George Arliss. Later she ap- peared in William Locke's Sep timus." She starred in "The Un- chastened Woman" in 1915 and 1916, and the early part of 1917, then appearing on Broadway in John Galsworthys magnificent dra- ma, "The Fugitive"
 This star, however, has come to the full realization of her powers in her motion picture work. She has never Appeared for any other company than Metro Pictures Cor poration, and for that progressive firm has starred in "The Wager" " 'The Wheel of the Law" "Des- tiny, or The Soul of a Woman" ]" Cora" and "The House of Tears"

SOME OF ITs HISTORY
In Modern Times the Pur- suits of Peace Replaced the Old Signs
 of War.

Amiens was once a city of great strength and still possessed citadel of the end of the 18th Century, but the .ramparts which surrounded it have been replaced by boulevards, bordered by handsome residences. Suburbs, themselves bounded by an- other line of boulevards, have arisen beyond these limits, and the city also extends to the right bank of the Somme.
 The busy quarter of Amiens lies between the river and the railway, which for some distance follows the inner line of the boulevards. The older and more picturesque quarter of Amiens is situated directly on lar streets are intersected by the eleven arms of the river and 1t is skirted on the North by the canal derived therefrom
 Besides it's boulevards, Amiens has the ample park or promenade de la squares. notably the Place Longue- vile and the Place St. Denis, in which stands the statue of the fa- nous 17th Century scholar Charles Ducange.
 The Cathedral, which is perhaps the finest church of Gothic archi- lecture in France, far exceeds the other buildings of the town in inn portance. It is large structure, be- ing 469 feet in length and 216 feet in breadth It contains many beau tiful statues and it's several portals are decorated with a profusion of statuary.
 The Hotel de Vile, begun in 1850, a belfry of the 14th and 18th Cen turies and several old mansions as well as numerous other churches are , also of interest.
 It was at the Hotel de Vile on March 25th, 1902 that the famous treaty between Great Britain. France, Spain and Holland which took its name from Amiens was signed
 Amiens has a rich library and ad- mirable collection of paintings, sculp- lures and antiquities in the museum of Picardy Located at Amiens, are ; number of educational institutions, schools for boys and girls, training schools for teachers and schools of medicine and of music and so on.
 The textile industries for which Amiens has been famous since the middle ages include manufacturers of velvet, cotton, wool, silk. and hemp spinning.
 Manufacturing is carried on to quite an extent in Amiens. COnsid- erable area to the North of the city is covered by market gardens. Amiens is an ancient city. Chris tianity was first preached there in the 4th Century.
 During the middle ages it passed from the authority of the Counts of Amiencis to the Bishops, and then became a dependency of the French. However it passed out of the power of the kings more than once, notably in 1435, when. by the treaty of Arras, it came into the possession of the Dukes of Bergundy. to whom 1t be- longed until 1477.
 Amiens is now the capital of the Department of the Somme. It Is S1 miles from Paris.
