'"Flash ot An Emerald"
 Great Play, WiU. Be Seen Last Time.

Aside from the exciting story told in ''The Flash of An Emerald" !" there are enough pictures and scenes to make the picture entertaining
 enough without the plot. The ''pil- grimage to Canada" and the "danc-
 CT" form complete acts by them
 selves. This play will be seen for
 the last time tonight, and is much Natures alles show how medicines
 are prepared and are educational
 and interesting. There is besides,

RIPE CHERRIES ARE SEEN IN
 LOCAL YARDS
Apples Also Are Grown Every Year in Juneau and Many Kinds of
 Tame Berries.

Ripe cherries on a tree in James' yard demonstrate that cherries may be grown in Juneau. Every year a tree in Mrs. Andersons yard bears apples, and the one in the Olds yard has also produced apples, and the cherry three there has produced.
 In many of the Juneau yards tama berries of many varieties are sue cessfully cultivated. The gardens and vegetable plots and flower gar dens about Juneau are, and have been for some time, a riot of color and luxuriant vegetation.
 "The trouble is," said one Juneau resident, nearly every one coming to Alaska, first came with the inten- tion of leaving as soon as he could make stake. I came here with that intention and have been here 21 years and have finally decided that I might. as well make my home here, and you can see for yourself what my yard is producing. owing to little care being exercised. When more of us give up the notion about going Outside to live, we shall have still more beautiful homes in the North and find that we can produce many things from the soil"

 Role in His Neat Artcrdft Picture.

William Hart will in his next Aircraft production, on which he has just commenced work, appear as a United States soldier. Even now his cohorts are looking for suitable To- cations in which to make his new picture, with the exception that one of the United States military posts in Arizona, where troops of cavalry are stationed, will be the scene of several bits of stirring action.
 Mr. Hart is making the initial scenes of his first war picture at the studio, but expects to leave for Ar iZoua early next week.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 Rab- bits which were once the curse of Australia, as they have been to a lesser extent in the Southwestern United States, now are providing a profitable source of revenue and at the same time are helping to win the war by increasing food supply.
 Official dispatches received here say the British Board-of Trade has ordered 600,000 crates of skinned rabbits. which will require the kill ing of 21,600.000 rabbits weighing 36,OOO.OOO pounds after dressing Previously the rabbits were shipped with the skins on. but inconven- fence was experienced at hospitals in England in removing the fur.
 How to dispose of sthe skins is causing the Australians speculation. There is a ready market for them in this country, but tonnage is very scarce

DEMOCRATS CALL
FOR MCCORMICK
Believe That National Chair
man Will Hear if He Sees
Any Kind of Chance

People in many parts of Pennsyl-
vania, and in neighboring states as
we'll, are watching with interest the
development of the latest Demo-
cratic game. 1t will be recalled that
until the correctly-tuned call came
four years ago, Vance c. Mccormick,
now Democratic national chairman
could not think of being a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor. At the recent Democratic
conference IN Philadelphia there
were sharp division over the liquor
issue and Mr.. Mccormick could not
think of being a candidate. The
bosses then put out Acting State
Chairman Joseph f. Guffey to draw
the fire.
Mr.. Guffey is now being bonn
barded as unsatisfactory on most of
the issues and as the Republicans
fight for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton becomes more pronounced there
is the expected renewal of the cali
for Mccormick. 1t will be rercalled
that four years ago Mr.. Mccormick
had no ambitions except to purge
the Democratic party. Now his am
bitions, according to Washington
dispatches, are to serve his country.
1t is intimated that he may be one
of the peace commissioners to rep
resent America when the peace con-
ference is held.
Until the time arrives, he might
be able to run for governor and the
call is noE being sounded. What
is interesting folks here is whether
the call will be loud enough.
The Philadelphia Record to-day
criticises Guffey's availability and
says party men believe Mccormick
should realize he is the logical man."
The Record also says:
Despite the effort made last week
to create the impression that the
result of the Democratic conference
called by National Committeeman
Palmer indicated a general feeling
that Joseph +. Guffey, of Pittsburgh,
is the most available candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. the exact opposite seems to
have been produced"

WEEKS FEATURE
Central 10 Meet Tech Friday
Night in Crucial
Contest

The most important battle of the
season in the basketball world will
be fought Thursday night at Chest
nut street hall, between Central and
Tech. The keenest rivalry exists in
sports between these two schools
and next to football this is the big
gest event on the sports calendar of
both institutions.
Two fast basketball players will
come face to face for the first time
this season. "Nobe" Frank, Central s
shining light, and Beck, the pride of
Tech, will match their strength.
Art Fields Is Star
Fields, who has done much of
Centrals best passing, will help his
team win the day. The game is en-
pected to be one of the fastest ever
staged between the two schools.
Coach Wallower will work his
men to the limit this week in prepa-
ration for the big event. Scrimmages
between the scrubs and first team
and other special practice will be
pulled off. Special signal drills are
in store for the men at their usual
practice at Chestnut street hall,
Monday and Wednesday.
When Chestnut street is filled with
rooters for both teams. it will be
hard for disinterested parties to
hear themselves think. New songs
and yells, with the cheer leaders in
charge, will make the hall ring and
put pep into the teams.

CENTRAL TOSSR HOME FROM DISASTROUS TRET TECH THURSDAY MIC
n XX/EI4LYC
y w CORNER

This week brings the two local
High school cage teams together.
Notwithstanding that Central had Il
hard trip losing at Reading and
Allentown, Tech tossers expect a
hard battle and Coach Miller will
keep them busy until the time for
the big game.
Allentown's sport spirit is TO be
commended. Many team has with
drawn from a race when victories
were not in evidence. Not so with
that Allentown bunch. They went
after Central Saturday night and
won out. This is the first season for
the boys holding tailend position,
but they are going to keep in the
game, and there will be something
doing next season.
I Philadelphia division shooters
were there with the goods Saturday.
Altoona had a bunch of stars and
gave the local shots hard chase.
The Mountain City shooters were
anxious to get into the final events,
but fate was against them. They
could not win, even with two teams.
To Samuel G.. Hepford, athletic
director of the Philadelphia division,
Pennsylvania railroad, is due much
praise. He is a busy man and the
things he must attend to in a day
would keep many men from giving
attention to other things. Not so
with this official. He never flinches
and was quite active at the shoot on
Saturday. Another busy man at the

games. Penn grabbed it's first title
back in 19O5-1906, when they won
nine out of their ten games. Column
bia giving them that lone defeat.
They annexed the title in the 1907
0S race with eight straight games
Without a defeat and again came
through to victory in the 1915-16
stretch with eight victories and two
defeats.
Columbia has been the most con-
sistent winner of the intercollegiate
title since the league was organized
in 1901. The New Workers have six
titles to their credit, having grabbed
the gonfalon in 10000, 19O4-05,
19OS-09, 1909-10, 1901 and
1911-12.
Yale has won five championships,
the Ellis coming through on top in
1901-O2, 19O2-03, 1906-07, 1914-15
and 1916-17. The Bull Dogs would
probably have given Penn mighty
tussle for the title this year had they
not lost several of their best men
through enlistment.
Cornell won two pennants, taxing
the 1928 and 1884 titles, while
Princeton and Harvard, which only
played IN the early years OF the
league, never won a title.

High schools basketball quintet sud-
denly came to life and succeeded in
nosing out Harrisburg Central here
tonight by 81 to 29 score. It. was
the first victory for the local aggre-
cation in eight starts.
The game was a nip-and-tuck af-
rair from beginning to end. First
one team and then the other was in
the lead. At first time the locals were
leading 10 to II. The visitors out
scored the local from the field eight
to six. The good work of Bohlen
from the hfteen-foot mark perched
the eagle of victory upon the shoul-
GERS or Allentown High school. The
forward tailed 10 out of 26 chances,
ana tossed in two field goals.
Frank in Evidence
Center Frank was the big gun for
the visitors. His work from the fif-
teen-toot mark was clever, and in
ADDITION he succeeded in netting four
tWo-pointers. Fields also played a
taSt game at guard. AS a result of
the defeat Central dropped to fourth

Penn TOssers Winner
In College Cage Race;
Clean Slate to Date

Philadelphia. March 4.-By win
ming the intercollegiate Basketball
League title Saturday by defeating
Dartmouth, Pennsylvania captured
it's fourth intercollegiate title. The
Red and Blue have an excellent
chance of finishing the present
championship campaign without a
defeat, for only one game remains
on the schedule, and while this is at
Princeton. the Quakers are playing
such a superior article of ball that
the chances for them to go through
the entire ten league games without
a blemish on their record are bright
To achieve such a feat will indeed
be adding glory to PENIS basketball
1917-1S achievement.
The only blot on Penn's record this
season is the Syracuse smear. The
New Workers, who are undoubtedly
one of the strongest college fives ever
gotten together, came here and beat
Penn in an exhibition game, which
probably gives them the leading
honors of the collegiate ranks.
In most of their games they have
outclassed opponents and shown
such a superior exhibition of team
play and ability to score on any
kind of shots that they have Justly
earned the premier crown of the
collegiate ranks. The team, too, has
shown the necessary nerve when
facing certain games with a critical
importance.
The five. has been just as steady
in its games away from home as it
was at home.
May Equal Columbia's Record
If Penn can trim the Tigers at
Princeton, they will equal the rec
ord of Columbia made back in the

championship by winning all its ten
