H. N. c.. G.
Friday.

Fox's Baby Grand stars, Jane
and Katherine Lee appear at the ii
n G.. c., Friday in "Troublemakers
which is undoubtedly the brightest
film comedy drama before the pubic
today. Little Jane, irrepressible IN
her humor and little Katherine rising
to great height in emotional scenes
are at flood tide as ''Troublemakers.
In "Troublemakers" they are
children of a young widow, who, al
ter the death of her husband in a
Western city, returned to the village
where she had been brought up and
where as a girl she had a romance
of the heart with a young attorney
The love is revived and the "Trouble-
makers" enter.
A George Ovey Comedy completes
the program.

c. For those who have read Ken
meth l.. Roberts Saturday Evening
Post story. Goodwill and Almond
Shells" this picture will have an
added interest. To those who have
not the real meaning of The shell
Game" will be a puzzle. What is
a shell game? In this case almond
shells enter into the plot which is
concerned with the scheme of a con-
fidence man.

GAS MOST VALUABLE AS FUEL
Comparatively Little Is Now Being
Used for the Purpose Of Giving d.
rect Illumination.

Although gas Is being used more
than ever before, its direct employ
ment for lighting is almost a thing OF
the past. Our modern "gas lights" are
chiefly burners where the light is not
given out BY the gas at all. 1t Is mixed
with air to produce dim blue flame
with great heating power. This fame
serves TO heat a mantle Of min
eral salts white hot, and 1t is this In
candescent mantle that gives the light.
Here the gas Is used not for It's light,
but for It's heat; and 1t is as a fuel
that gas is now most valuable, says
the Literary Digest.
According to an address delivered
recently In England by President
Harry Jones of the Institution or Civ
4 Engineers, and reviews by Nature
Uondon), not per cent Of the whole
gas output Is now used for direct IL
Elimination, so that the name "gas
light company has become some
thing of a misnomer. The use Of gas
as fuel, President Jones says, has re-
ceived special development during the
war, and the ready applicability of gas
appliances to the rapid making of mu-
nitions In emergencies has made them
especially valuable. Mr.. Jones quoted
n high official Of the British war office
as follows:
"without the direct aid of the gas
industry 1t would have been
perfectly impossible for this country
to wage the campaign of the last three
years, or even for any but a trifling
time resist the overwhelming floods Of
enemies that were poured upon 1t.
When 1 first was asked TO take charge
Of the manufacture and production Of
explosives II took me but a few days
to realize my absolute dependence on
your great industry"

Wartime Footwear In Holland.

The manufacture of slippers with
wooden soles and cloth tops is a war
time industry which has sprung up in
Holland, reports the United States de-
partment of commerce. The upper
and inner parts Of the slippers are
formed Of twill, corduroy and wooden
stuffs. All these materials are rela.
lively cheap, and yet make comfortable
md durable slippers. The cloth parts
hre made by hand and the wooden
soles by machinery.
In view Of the mounting prices Of
leather footwear. these combination
tlippers, which retail for the eQuiva-
lent Of 81 pair for the best quality,
are selling rapidly. It Ii claimed that
they are entirely satisfactory for wear
In the home and are practicable for
women engaged In indoor occupations.

GENERALISSIMO OF ALLIES

Gen. Ferdinand Foch, who has been
put In supreme command Of the armies
Of Great Britain, France and the Unit
ed States on the west front, is of
Basque origin, and is famed as a
strategist.
Foch began by mastering the STRAIT
egg Of the war Of 1870 In its minutest
details. Knowing the mentality Of the
Germans, he counted upon their repeat
Ing In future conflicts the maneuvers
that had succeeded. He also expected
them to make some of the old mis-
takes.
In his teachings at the Superior
war school and In his writings he held
always to the idea Of an inevitable ag-
gression by Germany, sprung with
lishtning-like rapidity after long pre-
meditation and most minute prepara-
don-the swift thunderbolt Of the
opening to develop into a struggle of
colossal proportions. To parry the
blow, Foch said repeatedly, France

Sunday School Folk Hear Program From
international Leader.

More than sixty people, representing
over twenty schools, we're present at n
dinner given in honor of w. G. Pearce,
of Chicago, field superintendent of the
International Sunday School Association,
on Wednesday evening, at Hanna's cafe.
Mr.. Pcarce, in forceful address, out
lined Wilmington's opportunity in this
time of world crisis, with relation to maxi
ing democracy safe for the world. The
world, he said, had a tragic example Of
what it meant for nation to be intelli-
gent and not righteous. This great
democracy of North America had the
best facilities for an intelligent people
through the public school system, but
the all important feature Of Righteousness
was the function of the church which
operated through the Sunday school.
The speaker said this could not be
adequately accomplished unless the work
of religious education WAS put upon the
same efficient basis as the public school
The public school was united system,
the Sunday schools were scattered units
caring for their own selected constit-
uency He urged the adoption OF a
comprehensive program OF religious edu-
cation for the city which would include n
board of religious education engaging a
to put into operation ITS
program.
The meeting was enthusiastic in sup
port of such program for wilmington
