AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

This is the story of D. s. Mac CT and of how as a member of the Red Cross in Italy, he relinquished fame and fortune in the world of art the better to alleviate. to the best of his ability, the suffering in War-torn Sicily
 Captain MacLaughHn, in a Red Cross uniform, may be little known to Americans, but as MacLaughun, etcher and painter, there is perhaps no one familiar with American art who will not recognize him. His case is typical of Red Cross volunteers.
 Make use of me- was his only condition when he became a mem Der of the Red Cross And of me-" said Mrs. MacLaughlin, who was in Italy with her husband at the time, so from the north of Italy, in the threatened Veneto, they went to Sicily.
 Captain MacLaughlin recently re- turned to his headquarters in Palermo after visiting all the provinces of the island In cooperation with local authorities, he has given quick and substantial relief to the most needy oh Ihe 1di11i1leS oi tHc eOIulels dl lHe front
 It is hard work that Captain and Mrs. MacLaughlin have been doing, but in spite of this both have stuck to the job without faltering. They have been unwilling to leave, even for a short rest. As a matter of fact they can't leave. They are caught in the trap that holds every Red Cross worker in Italy. The work, once under way, soon grows beyond the possibility of adequate assistance; ; every worker finds himself doing the

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this Through Faded, Strcaked Locks and They Become Dark,
 Glossy Youthful

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make ii at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm proved by the addition of other in gradients, al a small cost
 Don't stay gray! Try it. No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's age and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- VentiOn of disease.

FOX'S THEATER,

Carmen of the Klondike", a spec tacular 7-reel melodrama; four high class vaudeville acts, and a brand new Sunshine Comedy, entitled "A Div CTS Last Kiss, vie for honors on the Fox program today.
 One of the big and tensely dramat- ic scenes in Carmen of the Klon- dike' is a great fight that comes as climax in the latter part of the pro- duction. The combatants are Edward Coxen, who is playing the part of Cameron Stewart, the hero of the story and Herschell Mayall, portray ing the part of the villain, Silk Me- Donald'. The battle of fists by far surpasses any fight which has been enacted before a motion picture cam era.
 Two men, fighting viciously, dash from a burning building and staggcr into the street of the town, forgetful of all else they struggle in knee deep mud, amid a downpour of rain and in

the teeth of an Arctic gale. They bat tie until mud and blood disguise their features and make them seem what they are-no longer humans but rag ing beasts. Clothes torn off, bodies with mere rags still clinging to them, sodden with mud, they fight on, talk ing real knockdoWn blows and scram bling to their feet for more.
 Meanwhile, the crowd, as bestial and crazed as the fighters, watches and urges them on regardless of the rain and whipping gale. Dance hall girls in himsy costumes and miners in mackinaws brave the wrath of the clements to observe the greater wrath of their fellow beings, until at last when the combatants are near ing the end of their endurance and are foundering from exhaustion, there comes a startling and uaex- pected end-the end of the flight and the end of the story. Carmen of the Klondike" is truly of a story that ture. It is the kind of a story that will appeal to everyone who admtres red-blooded action without stupid over acted melodrama. It is doubt less the most gripping production which has been shown at Fox's i'll a long time. The newest Sunshine Com edy, "A Divers Last Kiss is rip roaring laugh-maker, and had today s audience rubbing their sides from laughing. F'ox's Sunshine comedies are often copied but never can they compare with these products of the Fox California Studios. The four acts of vaudeville consists of Margaret Ravens, singing comedienne' Denny 6 Hewins, com edians; Nick NaZZaro, the street singer. and Minstrels la Carte, a big blackface minstrel act with special scenery and numerous comedy effects.

CHAPTER VIII.
 (Continued)

Copyright, 1918, by William Fox) MERS. Pershing at first, naturally AsA enough, was reluctant to sec him enter the army, as she much pre- ferred to have him near her. At the same time she realized that she, too, the pioneer woman who had stood beside her husband and loaded the guns with which he defended their home against the bushwhackers of the Civil war. Convinced by ref1ec- tion, she finally rejoiced in being able to give her son to the flag. The eve ming of July fl Pershing went over to Trenton in readiness for the contest next morning.
 Seven stalwart boys presented themselves for the examination One of them, to the surprise of the other six was a Negro. This was the first time that a member of this race had applied for appointment to West Point from that congressional dis trict, and his appearance created quite a stir.
 According to the schedule, the phy- sical examination came first.
 One. by one the boys were led into the doctors office and given a thor ough test Only two of those husky boys failed to pass. One was the Negro It was found that one of his feet was what Is termed web-footed- that is, as in the case of @ duck, there was a thin web of flesh con- meeting his toes.

on the side of the big factories. The wide use of power driven machinery has worked the industrialization of war, as it had previously done in manufacture. But back of the men, the ships the shops, and the food there must be an adequate supply of financial support. This great rich country has been turning huge sums of money back into the hands of the people in return for food, clothing, labor, munitions and other requisites, until now there will be no particular credit due us in a $300,000, 900, 900 country for raising the sum of $6,- 900, 100000 allotted, and in the speci- fled time. We dare do no less. That is our duty. We must shorten the time, increase the number of con- trIbutors, or overrun the amount in oder to give any claim to praise or glory, even in raising so gigantic a sum as is asked. tAnd we should all be better Americans for having had the experience of buying, selling and owning Liberty Bonds.

PICKS BAD GIRL.

Those who remember Charles Chaplin in his early career recall a beautiful girl who played opposite him with d mouth as wide as a dime and eyes that blinked as if snow flakes were bothering her. Her name is Mabel Normand New Britain is fortunate to have her here in her latest picture called "Peck's Bad Girl" just one week after its premier showing in New York. While she does not throw custard pies about as she did when playing with Chaplin, she works her way through a num- ba1, of mischieVous antics which will make the grown folks chuckle and delight the kiddies. Not until this picture was released did folks know that Peck's Bad Boy had a sister, and it seems that she is following her brothers footsteps. This picture will be shown at the Lyceum for three days commencing today, together with an exceptional program of vaudeville.

LIFE OF GENERAL PERSHING

The mental test occupied the next day. Pershing found that his expert ence as teacher greatly aided him in this part of the competition. He could remain cool and at ease during the questions, whereas some of the others were nervous and agitated- not so much by the questions them selves as by a realization of the inn portance of answering these correctly. Here was a menace to mental con centration. John had seen the effect of such nervousness as a teacher, so when he entered the room 1t was with the resolution to permit nothing to interfere with the solution of any problem that might be placed before him.
 There was only one whom he real iy feared in the competition-a boy named Higginbotham. who had the reputation of being a brilliant stu dent, However John purposed to do the very best he couId-and, if he did not win, it would be because Higgin- botham was a better man.
 Higginbotham was first to complete his papers, and he passed from the room with a confident smile. John still had to verify some of his answers before being satisfied that they were correct.
 That night was very anxious one. The whole town being interested in the event, turned out the next day to hear the announcement of the out come.
 Congressman Burroughs, very i'm pressive in his frock coat, stood up with the important paper in his hand. (To Be Continued)
