At The Republic Tonight.

A new photoplay of peculiar inter
est is announced for the Republic to-
morrow. II is called THE Girl With
the Champagne Eyes" and has as its
star the beautiful Jewel Carmen.
The play deals with the life of a
person of such exotic and fascinating
beauty that it stands in the way of
her making a living as other women
are permitted to do. This girl, how
ever. chooses to become a thief, to keep
herself from falling lower. 1t is
enough to say here that she Injuries
through her offenses the very man
whom she comes to love and it is her
efforts to make up for this great harm
that you see depicted in a large por-
tion of the play.
The play is presented in excellent
fashion. Most of the scenes are laid
in the far north-in the crude civili-
cation that follows those who seek
gold. In the cast with Miss Carmen
are Francis Carpenter, Gertrude Mes
senger and others of the famous
Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp"
picture.

Anonymity In Literature.

A writer in the Boston Transcript,
speaking of a man who had written
much for publication but always anony-
mously, says: 81 doubt the wisdom of
this on practical grounds; for the pub
lie likes TO know whose work it is
reading; a pseudonym is far better
than nothing. and If persisted in is as
good in the long run as the right
name but a book by an abstraction, by
nobody, generally fails to win the read
er's interest, unless a rumOr is put
about that there is a mystery concern
ing the authorship, and that the author
is a famous man trying a new expert
ment." He might have added that
anonymity is not profitable to the
writer, especially If he is capable of
good work. He gets no credit with
the public for what he does; whereas
his name If 1t accompanied his pub
lished writing should become a dis
tlnct asset, editors, especially Of maya
zines, being governed to some extent
in their acceptances by the value Of a
name, and persistent use of a name
even when attached to matter Of trivial
quality has become source Of liberal
income to many q writer"

WOULD EXTEND CLOSED
SEASONS ON BIRDS
Department OF Agriculture Pro
poses Slight Changes In
Migratory Bird Law.

Slight changes in the regulations
under the Migratory Bird Law have
been proposed by the United States
Department of Agriculture in accord
ance with a resolution adopted at
recent meeting in Washington of the
Migratory Bird Law Advisory Board
The proposals have been published.
and a period of three months is. al
lowed during which the changes may
be examined and considered before
final adoption The regulations as II
nally adopted will become effective on
or after September l. 1918.
Owing to the continued need of pro-
lection. it is proposed to extend TO
September l. 1920, the closed season
which would have expired September
l. 1918. on band-tailed pigeons, little
brown. sandhill. and whooping cranes;
wood ducks: swans; curlews; willet;
and all shorebirds except the black
bellied and golden plovers: Wilson
snipe or jacksnipe; woodcOck, and the
greater and lesser yellow-legs. 1t is
also proposed to continue the closed
seasons on rails in California and Yer
mont and on black-bellied and golden
plovers in California and Utah until
September l. 1920. and on woodcock in
Illinois. Kentucky and Missouri until
October l, 1920.

MEAT PROGRAM OF THE
FOOD ADMINISTRATION.

We need for shipment to our army
and our allies about 75,000.000
pounds of meat and meat products per
week, while we used TO ship them be-
fore the war less than 100000
pounds. Even with these large ship
ments, the Allies have found IL neces-
sary to reduce consumption of all
kinds of meats and poultry TO an aver
age of about IA pounds per person,
which our consumption is about 3H
pounds.
At this time of the year there is a
normal decrease in the number of ami
mails coming to market 1t is prob
able that the number coming TO mar
ket will still further decrease, but the
actual amount of such decrease can
not, at the present time, be deter
mined
The Food Administration is anXi-
Gus, if possible, to avoid the necessity
of re-establishing meatless days and
meals, and therefore, urges ms TO
practice a rigid economy in our con-
sumption of all kinds OF meat and
poultry, and especially beef, in the
hope that general voluntary action OF
this kind will obviate any necessity for
for the re-establishment of meatless
days and meals. Particular attention
is called TO the desirability Of increas-
ing the consumption Of milk during
the summer months, using it as
substitute for meat

Innkeepers' Siuns.

In the middle ages, before turnpikes
were constructed, the castles of the
barOns and the monasterieS offered
shelter and food to travellers. The
baronial arms were always hung before
the castles in prominent positions, the
object being to enable wayfaring stran-
gers to identify a gwen house
by the most conspicuous object in the
device. Thus, if q rose, lily or lion
appeared in bold relief the building
was named by the traveller by one
or other Of these terms. After the
overthrow of the feudal powers and the
suppression of the mOnasteries the
wayside hostelry was the only re-
source left to wanderers. and ii took
over the former custom by displaying
signs.

To Warm Room Evenly.

The temperature of heated room
is several degrees warmer at the cell
ing than at the floor. To equalize the
temperature, it is necessary for the
air to be in circulation. This may be
accomplished with an electric fan, but
TO prevent any unnecessary draughts,
the blast from the fan should be con-
fined. AS the air must be driven from
the floor to the ceiling, place the fan
in one corner of the room in such
position that it will drive the air up
wards. To keep the air confined make
a cardboard tube about six inches In
diameter to carry the air up and across
the ceiling to the opposite corner Of
the room. This win take the cold air
from the floor and force it out at the
ceiling level. Naturally ID? air cur
rents are forced from lower to a

SPOTS or LIFE IN DEAD SEA
Small Fish and Other Living Creatures
Have Been Observed in Desc
late Waters.

The Dead sea is not quite so desc
ate as was represented by early writ
ars. who pictured IT as utterly without
life. with sterile shores, and so peSti-
lential that even birds flying over were
liable TO fall dead. Though 40 miles
n length and more than 9 miles in
greatest breadth, IL is especially not
able as being the greatest depression
on the earth, its surface being 1900
feet lower than that Of the Mediter-
ranean. The rainfall Is slight, but the
great volume of water poured in by
the Jordan raises the surface 10 or
10 feet at times, though, with no out
let, this inflow is all evaporated in the
dry season. The water has become
very dense and bitter, while floating
masses of bitumen elected from the
bottom and sulphur deposited from
springs along the shore add TO the IN
attractiveness. IT is true that neither
animal nor vegetable life is TO be
found in the safest parts Of the sea,
but DR. w. G.. Masterton, in an ac-
count to the Royal Geographical So
ciety, stated that near the shores,
where small bracklsh streams find en-
trance, occur small fish, crabs and
mosquito larvae. At a spot whore he
and other travellers saw fish actively
swimming. the water was found TO
contain not less than 1873 per cent of
solids. There are many places along
the shore where acres Of reeds and
many trees flourish, and at such spots
birds and other animal life are abun-
dant

THE HOME SERVICE

Activities Of Local Representa-
tive Of The Home Service
Work For Service Men.

In a quiet, unpretentious way, a
splendid work. known as THE Home
Service" is being done in quiet nook
at a desk in the Municipal Building,
second floor, where the local repre-
sentative receives complaints, gives
out information, has interviews, and
writes letters, besides answering in
Vulnerable questions.
The work pertains to the families of
the enlisted men of the service in the
Regular Army, National Guard and
National Army, and it frequently does
work for the Navy as well. OF the
latter, a case in point illustrates. A
few days ago the Secretary of the
Home Service Section received a let
ter from a naval officers family in a
far-distant city, asking her to 10
cate the officer, whose father was dy-
ing. This the Secretary attempted to
do, and through the aid of the Naval
Academy authorities, was able to To-
cate the Ensign and to communicate
the news of his fathers condition.
kilograms were sent, letters written
and the family of the dying man was
enabled to get in touch with him
through the Home Service Section in
Annapolis, of which Miss Nellie Ennis
is Secretary.
Her work is far-reaching, for in a
day many families are visited, allot-
ments adjusted, letters written, loans
made, etc.
Recently a soldier came here from
Camp Meade. He had not enough
money to return to the camp. He
knew of the Home Service, went to
the Office and secured The small .oan
and purchased his ticket for the re-
turn trip. A similar thing happened
to man from Camp Mcclellan, who,
having come home on visit on one
way ticket, could not return and Dor
rowed the money from the Home
Service. These loans are always made
in good faith and are sure to be re-
turned.
The following is the report of the
Home Service Section for the month
of May:
How many different families were
dealt with by the Home Service Sec
ton during the month ?-49.

When an aero cylinder explodes,
Just so much gas is gone. not to be re-
generated within the motor. But when
you WELD the hoe in your war garden,
your muscles of the hand and arm are
propelled by an explosion of part Of
their own substance. The burnt-up
portion is automatically replaced by
natural processes.
If you require great deal of mus

deal, DR.. Macfie explains-you must
eat starchy foods and take all the oxy'
gen you can get.
In other words, clay off, the meat,

Good Word for Snakes.

"Only II of the III varieties Of
snakes in America are poisonous -
writes Glayne X. Norton in American
Forestry. "None," lac asserts, will at
tack a human being except in self
defense. All of them destroy rodents
that injure crops and carry communi-
cable diseases"
The United States department Of ag-
riculture places our annual crop loss
due to rodents at over S5O0,000O00, or
something like s. n person.
Just how many more snakes we need
in America to save this $500,000.000 Of
food no one claims To know, but ii
may be a good idea for snake haters
TO permit the wiggling reptiles a longer
lease of life-a reprieve, you might
say, until all the rodents are gone.

LOOK OUT FOR THE ARMY WORM!

Atlanta, Ga, August-(Special.) >
The army worm is now occurring in
different sections of the state on
young corn and other crops, says the
Georgia State Board of Entomology.
Hence, it is important that a close
lookout be kept for it, and that treat
ment for control be applied at the
first occurrence before it has a chance
to destroy the crop.
These worms can be easily CON
trolled if the work is begun in time.
When they are advancing, efforts
should be made to check their prog
ress and prevent the infestation of
other fields. The remedy is simple
and inexpensive. The most satisfac-
tory remedy is arsenate Of lead.
The powdered form of arsenate Of
lead should be employed in fighting
the army worm. 1t can be used at
the rate Of one pound of srsenate OF
lead to four pounds of air-slaked lime
1t should be applied by busting it over
the crop attacked. A simple method
Of applying it is by putting it in a
