HENRY ALIENS NOMINATION.

Kansas upset a lot of sacred politi-
cal traditions Tuesday in the nomina-
ton of Henry ]. Allen of Wichita for
ticket. Aliens overwhelming plural
ity-probably a straight majority
was a knockout to the old style #
campaign organization.
But the real blow to the political
wise men was in the fact that Allen
and his committee did the very thing
the politicians said could not be done
They said Allen couldn't win a nomi-
, nation and stay in France. Kansas
had to see the candidates--1ad 90
hear them talk-had to real, their
promises. But Allen didn't CO lie
home. He didn't writs political let
ter. He didn't make a political
speech He stayed right in France
The nearest mention he ever made of
politics was in a letter to Old Bill
White of Empory when he said that if
White happened to see his boom run
ming around, say hello to it"
And Kansas--up to her eyes In the
war and the war activities-turned up
her nose at the critics and fault find
ers who stayed at home and said AL
len was trying to capitalize his work
for the American soldier The cnas-
tisement which came as the result of
the fault finding, grumbling, cr1ticiz.

campaign will stand as evidence in
Kansas for many days The conf
dence and trust which the Republican
party placed in Henry Allen was
something more than a party recogni-
ton. 1t was a Kansas tribute to one
Of her very own. And the faith which
the Republican party placed in Henry
Allen will be made binding on behalf
of the entire state in the November
election.
The overwhelming endorsement ac-
corded to Henry Alien by the vo.ers
of Kansas yesterday is especially graf
flying to his friends, because the OPP
posing candidates were all good men,
well known to the people of the state.

public affairs. His nomination may

of the cleverest politicians in the state
and one of the most vigorous cam
paigners; also man of the highest
standing and unblemished record of
public service. All this he did altho
thousands of miles away.
The nomination of Henry Allen may
fairly be regarded as a call from the

call was spontaneous. Even local
pride was set aside as is evidenc ID in

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ny cousin
was drafted and went to camp a short
time ago. The last night he was here
he was at our house for supper anf
he told me about his sweetheart. I
was very much interested, as L like
this cousin. I have never met the girl.
altho we are about the same age.
have had a letter from my cousin
and he says that after he left me the
last night here he went to say goodhy
to his girl and they talked about me.
She was anxious to meet me.
My cousin wants me to telephone
her and make arrangements to meet
her in some way He says that ne
knows she would like to have me.
Do you think it would look as if I
was running after her il / did? Do
you think she ought to phone me if
she In anxious to meet me?
1t is all right for you to seek her.
She could hardly phone you because
it would Sc m as if she were running
after your cousin. The boy is privi-
legged to make advances, and as he has
requested you to get acquainted you
can do so without hesitating.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have a boy
friend who has a car. Whenever he
has time he comes after me with his
car and gives me a ride home from
work. He always talks and acts nice
then, but when he takes me out car
riding in the evening he talks and acts
something terrible. He is only II and
sometime 1 think he doesn't know
better.
Whenever we go out he tells the
boys untrue things about me. Do you
think 1 should go with him any more?
He always asks me for a date.
What should do wf1eI. he tells I'M
true things about me?
MISS FLUSSIE.
Do not go with him again. If peo-
pie tell you things he has said that are
untrue, say in a quiet, positive way
that he has not told the truth. Refuse
to discuss the matter, because the
more it is talked over the more they
will believe what he said. 1t is al
ways a mistake to protest too much.
If they see that you no longer accept
his attentions and are refined and
ladylike in every way, they will be-
lieve in you.

Just Like Reading Arabian Nights to See Intolerance" i"

In his great film Intolerance" l" which will be presented at the Col iseum Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, D. w. Griffith has visualized imaginings such as one might have after reading the Arabian Nights, but never expected to enjoy except in fancy. There are no superlatives enough to do justice to this crea- tion, particularly that part of it re- creating ancient Babylon and show ing the scenes attendant upon the taking of that city by Cyrus the Great and his horde of Persians.
 MT. Griffith in Intolerance" with it's four parallel, correlated stories, has set mark in spectacular motion picture production that may never be surpassed. It is safe to assert that if it is surpassed it will be done by MT. Griffith himself, and not by any of his rivals, clever and resourceful as some of them are, because Intolerance" is so much masterly in execution than anything which has gone before that it is logical to assume that anything big ger will come from the brain which gave it birth
 The ehtical purpose of "Intol- erance," as it's name suggests, is to show that narrowness and bigotry and lack of human sympathy have been responsible from earliest times until now for most of the misery under which the world has stag gered.
 The historical incidents taken by MT. Griffith to illustrate this truth are the betrayal of Babylon to the Persians by the priests of Baal; the persecution and crucifixion of Christ; the parallel modern story shows how the Pharisees and bigots of today, including the holier-than- thou reformers, retard social pro- and justice.
 Each of the separate stories has it's separate characters and each in turn is interrupted to give way to one of the others. The whole is in tended to show the prevalence and the iniquity of intolerance in all ages.
 The most spectacular features of the entire picture relate to Baby Ion and its fall. The battle scenes, introducing all the ancient methods of warfare, are on an indescribably stupendous scale. How many per sons are employed in the picture no one but the director himself prob ably knows. There seemed to be thousands and then more thousands. Daredevil feats were numerous and the turmoil and excitement of some of the scenes became almost mad dening.
 The entire original musical score that accompanies this picture will be played by the companys own musician.

The orchestra has been augmented by Miss Ethel Forbes at the organ. Aside from the entertaining fea- lures and the large scale on which the play is staged, it is valuable for historic purposes and present peace overtures prove that the climax simply somewhat advances history.
 In commenting on the film pro- duction "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" critics have laid stress on the splendid detail Of the film.
 Rupert Julian, who produced the film and portrays the Kaiser, him self, has paid particular attention to the smaller details of the cos tuning and settings for the photo play. Lee Smith and William How ard, are directors, assisted MT. Ju- lian in getting the settings ar ranged and they were constructed by Norman Dawn and G. H. Arm strong. Photographs and blue prints of the Imperial Palace, Ber- lin, were used in the making of the sets. Mural decorations for the various rooms of the palace were painted by Henri DeBeauville, Sig nor LeMair and George Daives.
 The costumes worn by the Kaiser, various generals and soldiers were purchased abroad and brought to this country early in the war. Cos tunes for the women and peas ants in the cast were made by Mark Fiolka, Mrs. L. E. Littlefield and Mrs. l.. H. Coulter.
 Edward Kull photographed the entire film and arranged the light ing effects. Chester Bennett se- lected the out-of-doOrs locations. Frederick Tyler assisted MT. Julian in the direction of the action for the photoplay.
