lAMARA

The Lamara has an exceptional week to come from a picture stand point when one sums up the splendid lineup for the seven days starting this morning. Harry Carey shares honors with Fatty Arbuckle. Carey comes in the first of his new pie lures, "The Scarlet Drop" a story of a man who wanted to go to war but the blue bloods of his locality. who had formed a company, thought he should not be permitted because he was not an educated man.
 ArbucEle presents the funniest modern comedy he has made this year for Paramount, "Moonshine." It is a sparkling augmentation to the western dramatic feature story and makes a fine double bill.
 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day starts one of the greatest dra- matic masterworks ever done to pie lures with the greatest star of them all, Mary Rckford, in Bret Harte's immortal Miss" heart tale of the hills of California when the gold state was in the making.
 This wonderful bit of fiction is perhaps as well known and as widely read as any story that had to do with the gold days of California, when men went wild over the chances to wrest an easy fortune from the earth with little or no effort.
 To Bret Harte goes the credit for this child of his fancy.
 Miss. this untutored girl of the hills, who afflicted with a drunken father and what with her hoidenish ways creeps into the heart of every one.
 It is one of the types that per haps no woman or girl on the screen can play like Mary Pickford. It is a story of just the kind that Little Mary" revels in and makes so hu- man that one wonders if this ragged bit of humanity on the screen can be the fastidious Mary who travels in a 5000 limousine, and who gives more to Uncle Sam's income tax fund than some kings count as sal ary.
 Mary Pickford. the critics say, has had many vehicles in her wonderful screen career but none just like the part of this wild child of the noun tains. Bret Harte's "Mliss."
 Miss" remains for Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday and gives way l to Charles Ray in Playing the l Game" a smart modern story with the dash that has made his creations | famous in the past few months.

dence of Chandler stamina. And tire testing crews are not noted, either for anything like gentle handling of car; in fact the very nature of their work demands rough usage of the car.
 With above fifty-five thousand miles recorded on the speedometer and a tire average of over nine thous- and miles, it is good proof of the ser vice merits of the Chandler siX-and just because this Chandler roadster has shown such excellent perform ance. the Goodrich company has pur chased and taken delivery of another Chandler roadster, also for tire test ing duty.
 There are vital reasons, certainly, why Chandler cars give the service they do,'' continued Mr. Rabbit. "The motor is the dominant feature of the Chandler car of course. Owners have named it the marvellous motor, but the Chandler is not simply a motor with a car built around it. The com plete harmony of the whole car i'm presses even the casual observer. The motor is mounted on a splendid chassis and on this chassis the pur- chaser may have the choice of an equally fine body in number ol various fine types

 He surely moved fast when the mo- tion to be a real sure enough "kink'' became his. Douglas Fairbanks, famed for the rapidity with which he per forms in front of the camera, per haps never had a chance to step as lively as he does in this character lstic dramatic story of the ambitious young American who knows no fear and fears nothing.
 The Fairbanks picture gives way to Farce, the Son of Kazan," with Nell Shipman, famed for her work Tn Gods Country and the Woman" as the girl" in this splendid picture fiction from the pen of the gifted James Oliver Curwood, who also wrote Gods Country and the Wo- man"
 To those who followed the fortunes of Curwood's dog hero" Kazan, this story will come as a welcome relief from the surfeit of dramatic and fic- tional misfits that from time to time are filmed because real outdoor stor- les are not obtainable.
 KaZan has warm spot in tho hearts of those. who read of his ex. ploits in the far off northland anC now he wated with a blind she vol and "Baree," half wild beautiful "huskie' came to furnish them a son
 The story deals with the same char acters that featured Kazan on th' trips he made to the wolf country when he forgot his domestic training and fought shoulder to shoulder witt his wolf friends and then tiring O blood and the chase sneaked back fol a breathing spell with the human friends who always knew his bari and opened the door to him.
 Curwood never created a more fas cinating part than that of his hal wild dog of the woods, and in tn narrative of the son of the range and the she wolf the Vitagraph peo pie have given, to the screen a dis tinct novelty that is to be screened for three days starting July 1 at thu Hip.
 This snow picture redolent of tn great pine woods with it's touches O the wild life of the forests. and it animal appeal is sure to find favo with all classes of picture lovers thes hot days, for it's truly novelty. remains for the rest of the week giv ing way Sunday to Wm. s.

SUMMER COMPLAINTS

This is the season of the year when overheating troubles begin to be more or less chronic. There are many causes of overheating and the novice often has trouble in locating the real basic cause in his particular case. The cooling system is the first place to suspect. Any obstruction to the free circulation of the water results in pverheating in hot weather. The rub Der connections should be examined and the radiator drained to see if the water flows freely from top to bottom. After emptying the water system, pour water in the radiator and see if it flows down quickly Sometimes drain cock may be clogged, inducing a restricted flow inside. Run a piece of wire up the drain cock to dislodge the obstruc- tion. If there is an overflow pipe see that it is not clogged. Dirt often gathers in the lower opening. Tighten the fan belt to remove possible ex- cessive slippage. It must be remem- bered that overheating sometimes re- suits from bad handling of the car from trouble in the fabrication sys- tenn, ignition system, etc. But the first place to look is the cooling sys- tenn itself.

CORN VS.. PORK
BY HAMliN GARLAND
Of the Nioihantes.

If the war goes On Gas IL seems likely
to do) We may come to Doctor KEEL.
logg's way of thinking and cut out
the raising of pigs altogether. He as.
Inmates that II takes nearly ten pounds
Of corr to make a pound of pork. and
that when we get the pork We are
worse of than IL We had none. This,
I suspect, Is true. for I. under orders
Of my doctor, have had no pc, x Of any
kind for three years.
Kellogg Is m extreme vegetarian. OF
course, and his statements must be
read In the light of hat fact. And
yet he has 'oglc on his side. Why
continue to feed the most vital food
Of the human race to droves Of ami
mails whose flesh Is admitted 20 be un.
wholesome to many people and without
which all Of us would be better off?
Another curious reflection In
when discussing the raising Of any
kind OF flesh food. How much OF the
corn or oats goes to supply energy for
exercise on the part Of the animal?
Every time a pig or steer takes a
trot or Il gallop around the yard "A
considerable amount OF food IL used
up In a muscular action. This sounds
like n Joke, but II isn't, II Is a seri-
Gus observation on the part Of vegeta-
rians.
The Germans. with their usual eff.
cheney. have taken these matters In
hand. They have decreased the num-
Der OF pigs not only to save food. but
to preserve Il certain balance In the
ration. We may yet cOmc TO KellOgg's
point Of view and begin the re-.
duction Of pork raising 10 save corn,
retaining only enough pigs to act n
scavcngcrs of the kitchen refuse.
This much we can do, we a feed
our hogs with caro-. ! wonder how
many Western farmers still iced their
pigs ms they used 10 do by throwing
the corn into the penn At that time,
with corn Mt H. cents \ huShol, it didn't
matter how much was trainpled into the
mire, but now the case Is different. We
are careful to clean u W plates,
and yet I am not sure that the farmers
are making their cattle feed GO rs fur
as II might by careful r%utioning. AMI
mails used TO be ovcrfcd on our farms.
Are they being scientifically fed now?
Corn and wheat can win this war,
and when the final choice is made pigs
must go. cotton and wool be- reduced
in amount and cattle be raised without
exercise and In the most economical
way.
As ! write these things ! am sud
denly taken anew with the wonder Of
the changes that have come to this
America of ours. That we OF all ma.
tionS of the world should be seriously
considering how to conserve our food
supply, makes clearer than any other
measure the appalling blight which the
war, with It's destructive agencies, has
thrown over the entire earth. 1t is in.
credible but It is true. II Is not only
true, but Is becoming each day more
vital In our thinking. How shall we
feed the allies. ourselves and the waves
OF the North sea?
We must double production. we must
save, and we must use with scientific
precision.
