travagant project: The Siwanoy
Country Club at Mount Vernon, N.
Y, an organization in existence since
1893, has decided to purchase, the
links at Mount Vernon, which the
clubs members now are using, ac-
cording to the terms OF lease. The
club has been leasing tho links for
tour years or more and they now
will be taken over under an arrange
ment which provides that $50 MEM
bers shall put up $1,000 each, so that
the total subscription will be $780,
600. The first payments on the sub
scriptions will begin next March.
The decision to buy the links was
reached by the governing body of

San Francisco, Dec. 12.-The Chi
cago Cubs have closed the deal for
Charley Pick, the man who went to
them from the Seals last fall and
played such good ball in the world s
series. DIR. Strub was rather. hoping
the Cubs would fail to come through
with the $4,000, for he would rath-
er have Pick than the money, but
Manager Mitchell, of the Cubs, liked
Picks work so we'll that he has
closed the deal.
Pick was the best third baseman
In the Coast League, but he was put
on second for the Cubs and was a
star there. Manager Graham would
have welcomed Picks return here,
to help steady some of his young
players. Pick is not bit enthusiasts
tic about the big leagues, and would
rather play out here, but the big
money is up there. so he will take a
chance.

Tonight Mary Pickford will be seen
in new Aircraft picture, one of the
best ever produced. "The Spirit of
the Red Cross" a special production
for the benefit Of Red Cross workers,
will be shown. Also a two-part Key
stone comedy, making one of the best
programs possible. In the part of
Stella Maris, Mary appears as we
know her best-a beautiful child with
long curls and pretty frocks. Living
in a home of wealth, surrounded by
every luxury and with the tender care
Of circle of friends who worship
her, the character is similar to those
which have disclosed her eff
forts in the past. Unity Blake, how
ever, is part which shows Mary as
we have never seen her before. With
curls Strengthened out and hair braid
ed down against a dirty face and over
"a hunched shoulder, the unattractive
Unity, slave of an orphanage, is as
different from pretty Stella as the
cactus is unlike the rose. Although
of two entirely different worlds, the
lives of Stella and Unity become
closely linked in the course of the
story-a narrative of sublime pathos
and charm which lends itself we'll tc
the rare talents of Americas Sweet.

the inevitable temptations presented
to visitors in new and interesting
country. AS the very life of the av-
iators depends on their mental and
physical condition, without counting
machines worth $1,000 or more each,
the commander is doing all in his
power to teach the aviators to lead
sober lives in every respect.
The rough and ready discipline ap-
piled to infantry or cavalry has not
been found adapted to aviators on
whose morals so much depends.
Downright drunkeSaess and the con-
traction of ayoidable diseases are the
only two offenses which meet severe
punishment, and the latter always
means courtmartial.
For the rest, persuasion is used. In
the nightly lectures on flying, the av-
iators frequently are reminded of
this stern fact: "You have been sent
over here after great expense by the
government of the United States. A
whole lot of money is being spent on
you, probably more than some of you
are worth; but you were picked out as
first class men and it's up to you to
prove it,"
