MuRRETTE.

The William Fox 1918 version of
The Plunderer," which will be shown
at the Murrette Sunday and Monday,
is crowded with thrills. In the very
beginning William Farnum is made a
prisoner In mine when his enemies
roll a giant stone down the mountain
side and into the mouth of the mine.
Then there Is the strike of the miners
working for Farnum, which is follow
ed by the blowing up of the reservoir
that gives power for the working of
the mine. Other thrills are worked
in and finally the big one-the bare
handed fight between Farnum and
about twenty husky miners. The love
affair runs through the pictures and
comes out to a happy ending.
Jewel Carmen loves the water but
she would rather look at it from the
shores of California than from the
deck of a ship. Miss Carmen, who is
the star of The Fallen Angel" the
FIRING photodrama which is to be
shown at the Murrette Wednesday and
Thursday always becomes alarmed
when she sees in a script any scene
that calls for it's locale on board a
ship.
In filming The Fallen Angel" Di-
rector Robert Thornby, with Miss
Carmen and her supporting cast, had
to take some scenes aboard ship,
so the company went on an ocean trip
to San Diego on board one of he
Pacific liners.

Clock Weights Smash FlGar And
Ceiling,

About 3.45 o'clock Tuesday after
noon, as Lonnle Foulks, janitor,
was winding the striking mechanism
of the court house clock, the wire
cable to which the 1900 pound
weights were attached, parted and
the weights crashed through the cell
ing of the circuit court room and
knocked a hole about IS inches
square through the concrete floor.
The steel reinforcing rods kept the
weights from going through. The
crash was heard all around the
square, and people poured into the
building to see what had occurred.
Fortunately, no one was in the
room, and no one was hurt from
falling debris on the lower floor. A
large table was demolished. The
accident could not have occurred at
a more fortunate time, and if it had
happened during a session of court,
1t Is ALMOST certainty that there
would have been a loss of life.

Communal Kitchens Save Food in
Great Britain.

Communal kitchens are being es-
tablished throughout Great Britain
and are proving successful IN saving
food and fuel, according to reports
to the Department OF Commerce.
An article from a recent issue of an
English newspaper is quoted:
vThe war has brought home to
the public that the communal or ma
tlonal kitchen is necessity and can
be made a success. Within a COM
paratively short period there will
probably be installed many hundreds
of these establishments throughout
the country. The national kitchen
was originally intended to supply
poor people with nourlshing and at
tractively prepared food at low
prices, but there is considerable
prospect-certainty, in fact-that
the more prosperous will form a fair
proportion of the customers.
"As an example of the outfit of a
peoples kitchen that at Hammer
smith London) may be taken as a
model. This supplies about 6, 900
customers a week, which probably
represents 1900 to $1,000 con-
sumers, as customer commonly

in them is much stronger now than when

ever been used by us in making sales and

Trench Diseases.

The 1nsanitary conditions in the
trenches have bsen responsible for a
number of diseases that are new, or
new in appearance, to the medical
officers of the armies. SO far four
affections seem to be traced dehni-
tely to that origin: trench fever,
trench foot, trench leg or trench
shin, and trench hand.
Perhaps the most clearly defined
is trench fever. 1t begins suddenly
with headache, pains in the bores,
high fever and a feeling of prostrati-
on; IN few days the very acute
symptoms of the onset subside, and
then follows period marked by
fever and by the prostration that
accompanies amp long continued ele-
walton of temperature. That con-
ditlon lasts sometimes for several
weeks, and then the fever very
gradually begins to subside. The
period of amelioration also lasts
some weeks. No one has SATISFACTORY
ly determined the exact nature of the
disease. Some observers regard it as
malarial; others look upon it as "rat
bite fever" and lay the responsible
ty on the rats that swarm the trench
eS.
The most common symptoms of
trench foot are numbness, blueness
and dropsical swelling of the feet.
Sometimes numerous small blisters
form, and in the there are more or
less extensive are more or less eX-
tensive areas of gangrene. The
cause of this disease is the defective
circulation that come from standing
for hours in cold water and mud and
from wearing the same shoes for
days at time with no opportunity
to change. The condition is not so
common as it was IN the early days
of the war, for with the increased
number of soldiers on the front
change of station and of duty can
be made more frequently.
Trench shin, or trench leg, does,
not seem to be strictly local af-
lection, as Its name would imply, for
the patient suffers not only from
severe pains IN the Sims but also
from fever, headache, chllls, lassi-
tude and malalse. The cause, like
that of trench foot, seems to be long
standing in the cold and wet of the
trenches, although some army
doctors regard it as an acute infecti-
Gus disease like rheumatic fever.
The fourth of the new diseases is
trench hand, which is merely stiffness
of the hand and contraction of the
fingers, evidently caused, like trench
foot, by long exposure to cold and
wet. 1t most frequently attacks
soldiers who have had to stand or lie
long hours in cold rain or snow
storm grasping a rifle with ungloved
hands.

Mrs. Bingham Left
$551,389 N. Y. Estate
Most Valuable Piece of Prop
erty Was Her Summer
Home at Mamaroneck

Mrs. Mary Lily Bingham, who was
the widow of Henry M. Flagler when
she married Judge Robert Worth Bing-
ham, of Kentucky, had a New York
estate valued at $551,389 when she died,
July q, 1917. Mrs. Bingham was a
resident of Kentucky, and her entire
estate has been estimated to be worth
as much as $100,00O,000, and even more.
The value fixed by the transfer tax
appraiser in the report he fled yester-
day in the Surrogates' Court represents
only that part of the estate which is
taxable in this state.
Mrs. Bingham's estate in New York
consists of $467,840 in real and $9s,9s9
in personal property. The most valu-
able parcel is Satan's Toe, the summer
home at Orienta Point, Mamaroneck,
consisting of thirtytwo acres, in which
Mrs. Bingham had an equity of $751;
526. The furniture and paintings at
this place were valued at $13.917.
Of the personal estate jewelry is val
ued at $74,000. There are thirty-nine
pieces, the more valuable ones being q
diamond dog collar, $4,000; diamond
and emerald necklace, $4,000, and dia-
mond and ruby pendant, $4,000.
At the time Of her death Mrs. Bing-
ham owed Tiffany & Co. $22S,00 for a
pearl necklace and $32,350 for an emer-
aid cabochon pendant, which she had
recently purchased and which forms a
part of her Kentucky estate. Two sis
ters, a brother and niece are the chief
beneficiaries.

The World in Music

America is destined to become the
foremost musical nation in the world,
according to the prediction of Frank
Wright, president of the New York
State Music Teachers Association.
Mr.. Wright, in addressing the annual
convention of the association at the
Hotel Majestic yesterday, complained
that American artists and teachers
have been laying entirely too much
stress on German music.
eve have greater souls than the
Germans" he continued, "as current
events bear out. Besides, our artistic
inner life will be for a long time after
the war less disturbed than the Euro
pean's, and with the Americans ca
pacity for application I have no doubt
we shall rise to the front rank in the
musical world"
DR.. Frank r. Rix, musical director
of schools in this city, told the assem-
blage that music was as important an
element in the education of children
as any of the major studies.
1t was announced that Enrico Caruso
and Pasquale Amato, of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company, had promised to
attend this mornings session at about
