Many Thrills in Official Pictures of
"The Battle of Arras."

The second installment of the of
ticlal government war pictures, sThe
Retreat of the Germans at the Battle
of Arras," which are being exhibited
in this country for the benefit of vari-
Gus war charities, will be shown at
the Gem Theatre tomorrow. The
first two-reel installment of these re-
markable pictures attracted large
crowds to the local playhouse. last
Sunday and proved extremely inter-
esting and instructive. They give
closeup" of modegp warfare that
is as gripping as it il true, and por-
tray the actual conditions under
which our boys will live, work and
fight when they: enter into the mighty
conflict. This vivid film record of the
British drive will no doubt be wit
messed by ecord-breaking crowds to-
morrow and on succeeding Sundays,
as each episode takes the spectator
nearer to the fury of the battle.
The scenes showing the operation
of the big guns, the tanks in action,
and the use Of barrage fire furnish a
succession of thrills. The huge
tanks lumber by, crossing grounddhat
spoks to be impossible. These ta ks,
oe,pre than anything else perhapsGZ.t'on-
Vey an idea of the scale on which a
modern engagement is conducted.
Guns of all sizes are seen hurting
their death stream upon the Germans.
But best of all are the "Tommies, :"
who 60 into the battle laughing and
singing.
Even a layman is forced to marvel
at the precision with which opera
tions are conducted. 1t seems as
though some great business organiza-
tion is carrying out an allotted work
on time clock schedule. But the
effects are more startling than can
be correived. Such destruction as
these Pictures reveal is sslite past
Imagination.
1ii addition to the battle filnln '"The
HuNting1 of the Hawk" an absorbing
Pathe Gold Rooster feature, will also
be presented In sheer entertain
ment value, this production far out
classes the ordinary lve-reeler, and is
said to be one Of the very best offer
ings recently released. William
Courtenay is featured in a role to
which he is no stranger, that of a
detective who IS thought by the other
characters and the audience alike to
he crook. Marguerite Snow is the
appealing heroine. "The Hunting OF
the Hawk" is indeed feature that
has no faults perceptible.

pRoDucH lasPEe:roA FOR N. Q.
Government Agent 10 Pass Upon Con-
signments of Perishables.

Among the NEST important news
received during the week by John M.
Parker, food administrator for Loulsl-
ana, was the announcement by the
national bureau Of markets that 1t
had selected and was training an IN
spector of produce who would begin
service at New Orleans about Feb. 10.
This will mean tremendous better
ment in the handling ef perishables IN
the Crescent City market. Carloads
of produce often remain unloaded for
many daysobecause Of disputes as to
the condition Of the consignment and
the refusal Of any party to the trans
action to accept the responsibility
which will release the food to con-
sumption. Government inspection
will certify to condition, tie certif-
|icate will be binding upon all con-
cerned, the car delays will be OBJ
waited, the danger Of food waste re-
moved, and everybody be guaranteed
a square deal. Mr. Parker has been
making the fight for such an in
spector, and has been backed by the
produce merchants, the railroads, and
lothers who realized the resultant bSp-
Ikft. ,n

as applied to nails. Four penny
means four pounds to the thousand
nails, six penny means six pounds,
and so on 1t is an English term, and
meant at first "ten-pound" nails, the
thousand being understood, but the
English clipped it to ten puns,' and
from that it degenerated until penny
was substituted for pounds.

STILL CONFINED TO BED
IN BALTIMORE HOSPITAL
Senator James Condition, However,
Is Declared by Doctor Not Alarm
ing-Loses Weight.

Senator Ollie James of Kentucky is
still confined to his bed in Johns Hon
kins Hospital in Baltimore, but accord
ing to reports from the hospital there
is nothing in his condition to alarm his
friends. DIR. Lewellyn Barker, chief of
staff. is personally attending the sem
ator.
Senator James went to Baltimore
April 20 for physical examination. Sew
cral days later he entered the hospital.
1t was thought an operation would be
necessary. but later this was abandoned.
His case was diagnosed as nervous
breakdown with some complica tions.
BY strict dieting, the physicians are
seeking to reduce Senator James
weight. At one time he weighed 80
pounds. When he went to Baltimore he
weighed 264 pounds. His weight today
is said to be 235 pounds. He is feet
4 inches tail.
The loss Of weight has caused the SEN
ator to become very weak. DR.. Barker,
however expects his patient to be able
to sit up in easy chair in couple
of weeks and to leave the hospital soon
afterward. The senator has had sew
eral of his teeth extracted.
