 time Is Held Up.
 Anyone who knows Daniel MaIkhas. who was employed in one of the Cor bin factories in 1910 or 1911, can help him out of a predicament by com municating to the local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Co. Malkhas is detained by the imm gra- tion officials at San Francisco Cal.
 According to one understanding. he returned to the old country several years ago and is now seeking re- admission. He cited the name of Mates Babiana, of this city, as ono or his friends, but Babiana was recently in the contingent sent to Camp Upton. He could testify that Malkhas arrived in America at Halifax, N. S., and give the name of the ship. It is believed that Malkhas has other friends living on Arch street who can help him now.

with the naval consulting board of which Thomas A. Edison is chairman and has just received a reply from the board in which it is stated that in the opinion of the board the invention is not practical.
 But the drawings and the specified tions have not been returned to Gypsy Joe," who has lost no faith in the discovery, whatever may be the belief of the naval consulting board. The improvement proposed is not in the weapon but in the projectile which consists, first of charge of explosive, then a turbine, then chamber stored with either electricity or compressed air and then of the material of which all projectiles are composed.
 The invention is based upon the theory that a body insufficiently rapid flight leaves in it's wake a vacuum whose tendency is to retard That tendency is not removed by the inven- ton but is met and overcome by the acceleration given to the projectile within the storage chamber.

 the aviation corps. Cole has been employed by the Pacific Gas & Elec- tric Co.,, and Prescott by the Sanitary

 ferred to choose their branch of the
 service, and volunteer in the three in
 one service, as the Marine Corps is
 now called, because they serve on land
 and sea and in the sky.
 Married men are accepted in this branch of the service, and they need
 not fear that their family will suffer l durinu their absence, for the govern ! nlent makes a liberal allowance in ad- l dition to the allotment, which must | be at least 515 per month, made by l the husband.
 High school students. are urged to 1 investigate this branch of the service as there are many openings now, for l commissioned officers, and all these will be taken from the enlisted per sonnel. Officers training schools have

 Little Miss Margaret loper, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. John D. loper and general manager of the enterprise, was the first one connected with the concern to real- ize that "perhaps Mr. Hoover would not like it."
 That was also the opinion at food headquarters where they re- eretted to tell the agent of the young patriot that "all manufac- tre of less essentials starting in business after April could have no sugar." The local authorities ex- pressed regret that they could not deviate from the Washington pro- gram for the little folk.

"Les Mis.rabIss" Scores Heavily

..Ies Miserables" at the Empress is attracting crowds through the master ly interpretation of the great character, Jean Valjean, by William Farnum.
 Every reel of the picture is alive with
 intense interest and the producer has
 succeeded in bringing out the salient
 features in the great novel of Victor Hugo.
 The interest ranges from the tragic and intensely human events in Jean
 Valjean's life to the thrilling scenes In a barricade fight during the latter days of the French revolution. The faithful
 portrayal of a man who retains the in- delible effects of 19 years in prison and has lived to become honored and loved in his community, only to be again sentenced, is the task of Far mum. The picture carries one into the slums of Paris and gives an exciting scene of Jean Vatican rescuing Marius by hiding in the sewers that formed a
 network under Paris.
 The picture is an appeal for kindness and sympathy for the poor and weak

Marguerite Clark, who comes to the Lamara today for a three day engage Inent, has succeeded in making herself the idol of the children throughout the nation through her wonderful DOT trayais in stories of fairy lore. She re- gently announced that once each year she would make a fairy picture. Her premier picture, Snow White" was adjudged one of the most beautiful pictures of this nature that was ever thrown on a screen. The Seven Swans" seems to begin just where
 Snow White left off. In no picture of her career, has the scale of beauty and massiveness been attained that has been reached in this production. Some of the sets occupied the entire floor space of the Famous Players studios. The lighting effects are re- markable and the costuming gorgeous Marguerite Clark appears as the little princess whose brothers were trans formed into seven little swans through the jealousy of a wicked queen, and has created a wonderfully winsome role.
