Food Administrator
Says Flour Rulings
Are Misunderstood

In order 10 correct all misunder-
standings caused by the doing away
with flour cards, H. c Moore county
food administrator, has issued a set OF
rules that apply to the new regulations
Since the Hour cards have been done
away with, some customers have the
idea that substitutes no longer have tC
be purchased, This is not the case
The iiity-fiity plan is still in effect and
all flour purchased must be covered
with an equal amount OF substitute. The
six pounds per person per month still
holds good in the case OF city customers.
Farmers who have their own wheat are
allowed to exchange it for a sufficient
amount 10 last until October ! on an
cight-pound per capita basis.
Farmers may make years contract
with mills and leave enough wheat with
the mills to supply them for a year, but
only enough to last until October | can
be taken at once.
If farmers have their own corn meal
or other substitutes on hand not bal
anccd by a previous purchase OF flour,
they may purchase thirty days supply
on the six pounds per person per month
basis, providing they give a signed
statement to this effect.

CONNECTICUT WAR FILM WELL
 BE SHOWN HERE THURSDAY.
NotabIes in Picture Presented Here at Private Showins--To Go on Screen Throughout State.

A small number of spectators, among them Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, witnessed a private showing at the Princess theatre Tuesday afternoon of the Connecticut war film which will be presented in theatres throughout the state under the auspices of the Times and other newspapers of the state.
 President Wilson was seen signing a document, former President William H, Taft was shown seated before a reception committee, and Theodore Roosevelt was caught in the act of telling crowd something. Another colonel on the screen was William J.. Bryan, who makes a plea for a saloon less nation and peerless days as well as meatless and wheatless days.
 Then Governor HoIcemb was shown in front of the state capitol shaking hands with the president of the film Company which took the pictures. A statement from the governor as to why the United States was fighting and a prediction that democracy throughout the world will follow the war followed his picture. Former Governors Waller and Weeks were shown, as well as Lieutenant Governor Wilson and Sen ator Morgan c. Bulkeley. Senator Bulkeley says in the statement fol- lowing ms picture that anyone Wno can predict what's going to happen after the war is a better Yankee than he is.
 President Arthur Twining Hadley of Yale and President William Arnold ShankIin of Wesleyan were shown and statements from each of them were thrown on the Scheen.
 Editorial opinions as to the justice of Americas cause are offered by sev- eral of the state newspapers which are backing the film. There is also a statement from the Connecticut coun- cil of defense as to the functions of that body in the work of war. The film is certainly worth seeing, and it will undoubtedly be received with en- thusiasm throughout the state. It will be placed in the state library here at the conclusion of the showings, and will not be taken out until the year 196s.-Hartford Courant.
 These pictures will be shown at the Breed theatre Thursday afternoon and evening. There will be a special mat inee for school children at D. m. The greater part of the receipts will go tc help -defray the expenses of the making of this picture.

Queens of fashion had better beware of their laurels. Miss Virginia Pear son in her latest William Fox photo play, Stolen Honor, wears some ex- quisite gowns. She will be seen at the Auditorium theatre today for a run of three days.
 Besides these beautiful gowns Stolen Honor has many points to recommend it to all motion picture followers. The story is good and is laid in Washing ton, D. c. It has some thrilling scenes and the sets are richly made.
 One Of the most thrilling scenes in the burning of Lost Mine camp by the outlaws in the fifteenth episode of The Fighting Trail is where the sherif's posse time and again charges down the narrow bullet swept street against the narricade held by the outlaws. In the glare of the burning camp can be seen hand to hand combats, ending only in the death of a bandit or his adversary. Nothing was spared to add to inc realism of this great climax to the serial, which will end in this epi- eode

Rupert Julian and Ruth Clifford play the star parts in this production and the mother role is in terpreted by Ruby La Fayette, wno now in her 72d year receives her initiation as a protoplayer. Mother of Mine is produced in six wonderful acts and is photoplay of surpassing beau ty and excellence. It is a supreme triumph of photoplays. The second feature on the bill for today and Tuesday is the world famous screen star. Crane Wilbur, in The Eye of Envy, a dramatic allegory which viv- idly proves that contentment Is the keynote of true happiness. The latest war news in the Hearst Pathe Weekly completes this big double bill.
