We have equipped ourselves to rem
der expert service In fire insurance
matters. We do more than write In

We write risks In the strongest COM

If every company in the land should

everybody eliminating fire hazards
about his own property and some OF

causes the most fires in the United

have this information ana they charge
according to the hazard. They tell US
about 1t and our advice ana counsel
will reduce premium charges for you
and often prevent fires from starting.
We are at your service at no cost

Tuesday, of this week-as Sylvia

on a case OF international trickery

keenest head from Scotland Yard.
The photoplay in which these ex-
citing events are recorded is en-
titled sylvia OF the Secret Service. -

The star in the title role appar-
emily takes as many chances as
Dauglas Fairbanks or Bill Hart.
In ough-and-tumble fights with
the male portion of the gang of
criminals she is trying to run down,

Sunday Theatre Openings

Frank Finney, a local favorite, opened
al the Gayety yesterday with his new
edition of the Bostonian Burlesquers
and presented one OF the best shows
seen here this season.
Finney. from his first appearance as
Sweeney the janitor, created continu-
Gus laughter with his quaint Irish
humor and rendered several parodies
on the popular songs that were eX-
ceptionally clever.
Phil OFT, handling a German char
acter created Toars Of laughter and
made his audience forget for the time
that we were at war with Germany.
katherine Dickey possesses a de-
lightful voice and used it to advantage
in several numbers. Nettie Nelson
also pleased her audience.
Finney's short sketch, ole Judge
Nolan" gave him a chance to step
out of his character and handle a
comedy role. which he did
very capably.
The anvil chorus at the close Of the
iTst act was a novelty new and pleas
.ng TO burlesque patrons.
Others in the cast are. Caprice.
Jimmy Hunter and George Mack. The
chorus is pretty and handles dance
and song numbers well.

Loew's CoIumbLa-sThe LIe."

The Lie" Elsie Ferguson's latest
photoplay. shown at Loew's Columbia
Yesterday and continuing as the fea-
tlre until Thursday. was adapted for
the screen from Henry Arthur Jones'
play OF the same name, produced on
the speaking stage several seasons
ago. in which Margaret Ellington
rlayed the principal part.
The theme of the photoplay involves
the sacrifice of a young woman who.
to save the reputation OF her erring
sister. provides for her infant son,
thereby sacrificing the love of a
worthy man who later weds the errinS
sister. The subject has a great deal
OF heart appeal. dramatic action and
tense situations.
Miss Ferguson plays with splendid
force and discernment She is ably
supported by David Powell. John L.
Shine, Percy Marmont and Betty
Howe. The Hearst-PGthe News and
other supplementary reels were also
shown. Thursday and for the last
half OF the week Sessue Hayakawa
will be seen in The Honor of HIS

Monday, April I, 1918.

During the busy hours OF this day
the planetary direction is good, for
Neptune and Saturn are In beneflc
aspect. Jupiter is adverse, the even
ing being unfavorable.
1t Is most promising rule for all
naval operations and officers should
benefit, especially those who have
been long In the service.
While the stars seem TO presage
great attainments In ship building
and success In transportation across
the ocean. there is a forecast of Sc
we're fighting on the water. A great
battle Is said to be strongly fore
shadowed, but it will be sudden. Again
the element of surprise Is strongly in
dicated.
There Is an encouraging sign today
for agriculture and for whatever Is
produced from the earth.
1t is read that while farmers will
benefit from conditions during the
coming summer, they will meet with
many severe anXieties and will over
come serious obstacles.
The food outlook is not altogether
encouraging, although there will be
better conditions than the pessimists
foretelI.
The stars continue to give warning
that the real significance of the war
IS not felt by the people of the United
states
Fraud or treachery in connection
with the excess profits tax Is prog
nosticated by the seers.
There will be, also, before midsum-
mer a tendency to investigate organi-
zations working for the war. Libel
and slander suits are prophesied.
The evening of this day is not a for
tunate time for making any plans
that have a commercial significance.
After sundown anything that has
to do with diplomacy will come under
an unlucky sway:
Persons whose birthdats 1t is have
the augury of a changeful year with
many annoyances Those who are
employed will benefit.
Children born on this day will be
steady and persevering, but inclined
to be extravagant. especially In gifts
to persons of opposite sex. These sub
Jects of Aries often gain through
marriage or inheritance.
