AT THE QUEEN.

Trail, which Is at the Queen today and
tomorrow, proves concluslvely that all
such adages are susceptible 10 refuts-
ton. In this new Paramount picture, his
first starring vehicle for Paramount
Mr.. Washburn plays the part Of a de-
vout lover. lacking those striking and
picturesque qualities that appeal to the
heart OF a maid
But he has sterling qualities, not the
least Of which Is his fidelity. He tries
proposals OF various sorts. but in each
instance he falls TO move the heart OF
the girl who thinks she is romantic,
who is after all quite commonplace and
conventional. There enters a young
vagabond OF the Irish temperament,
who almost carries on the princess to
his castle. However. marriage is hardly
in his scheme Of life and he balks at
the altar which would literally be a
halter" TO his rowing disposition. Then
he rides away and the faithful swain
in a spirit OF heroic self-sacri1ce goes
10 bring him back 10 the girl who Is
apparently eating her heart out for love

Worlds Three Cushion Billiard Star Gives
Pointers on the Game for Evening Journal Readers

For thrce cushion billiards is game
that Is easy 60 play once the player
has acquired knowledge OF tho essen
tials OF english, draw shots, and cue
manipulation. Then, too, one must
learn TO know The angles OF the cable,
but this comes with practice.
,All these points must be known 10
the player OF straight rail or balk limo
billiards, and in addition he must know
how to nurse the balls and how TO
make masse shot.
In three cushion billiards nursing tho
balls Is impossible, and unless one
plays a safety each shot the cable Is
always open.
Then, too, an amateur player In a
short game has an equal chance with
the experienced one. Runs are goner-
tlly short and a poor player with luck
may beat a professional.

NEW YORK. Dec. ii.-A deal which
will bring Jack Coombs, the former
Iron Man" OF the Athletics, to the
Phlllles 10 replace Patrick J. Moran as
manager, and which involves several
other players Of the Phillles and Brook
lyn teams, was virtually closed ycster-
day by President William II. Baker, OF
the Phlllles. and President Charles Eb-
belts, Of Brooklyn. so FAR as the club
owners are concerned. everything is sat

that prevented the deal being closed is
the provision that II Coombs comes 10

dephla. COombs has gone 10 Texas 10

The announcement that Pat Moran
had been given his conditional release
by President Baker created almost -
much OF a sensation In Peacock Alley
as Mr.. Bakers announcement OF the
sale Of Alexander and Klllefer 10 the
Chicago Cubs a year ago
The release OF Moran was really no
surprise to those In close touch with
the Phlllles' affairs. As early as last
September, during the worlds series
games In Boston, the rumor was olrcu-
lated that ne was 10 go. and II has been
mentioned several times since. The sur
prislng part or II Is that there appears
TO be no good reason for 10. Several
times during the last seasan II was re-
ported that things were not as harmo-
nlous in the camp OF the phlls as they
should be, but this was understood TO
have been caused by the way the play
ers felt oyor the sale OF Alexander and

THE HEART OF HART.

To outbandit a bandit Is easy enough,
for that is merely the arrival OF a
younger, more vigorous bandit on the
scene OF Illegal activities. Such con-
dition gives point TO the truth In the
phrase 1.-The survival OF the flttest,
which holds good in the under world
as well as on the farm, in the shop or
ONCE. But TO pull yourself out OF your
former self. by a mighty tug at your
own boot straps, IS more than anyone
else can do except Hart.
It matters not how many times VIII
liam S. Hart has played bandit he has
never thrown all heart and soul into

one thing my husband and agree
about. Ho always goes to a minstrel
show whenever ono comes, and al
ways 20 70 anything musical. but both
of US always go to the Howe pictures.
Thus spoke a young woman coming out
OF the Playhouse lobby last night after
witnessing the diversified scenes OF the
trexel festival.
Beautiful scenes In the sunny south
OF picturesque France were succeeded
by the rugged grandeur Of the snow
canned American Rockies The charm
Of the mysterious east was felt by the
audience In the views Of Hindu temples
and oriental bazaars. filled with the
swarthy populace Of immemorial lndia.
In contrast, were pictures OF pottery
makers and rug weavers among the
Indians OF New Mexico.
The marvellously beautiful scenery OF
Mexico called forth pleased comments
from the audience. The residence OF
Madero, the murdered Mexican presi-
dent was shown. as well as other
beautiful buildings OF our southern
neighbOr.
The Kaieteur Falls, In South America,
which are 1--WE times the height OF
Niagara Falls. and have been seen by
few white men, was perhaps the most
wonderful film shown.
The difficulties OF taking these pic
lures OF the Wild places of the earth,
mountain. and cataract and rapids, are
tremendous, and have meant many mar
row escapes from death for the camera
men.
An interesting item in the taking OF
the pictures by the explorers was the
capture OF many wild animals. One
garden snake, shown in the film. was so
large that Il needed six men to carry II.
The pictures are Of places and people
from every corner Of the globe. In or
der TO add a laugh now and then, hu-
morous fake pictures are interJected
which are mirth provoking.

Britain and British.

It was not until their occupa ton by
the Romans that the word Britannia
came into use as a name for the Brit
ish isles The name Great Britain
was applied to England, Wales and
Scotland on the accession Of James I
In 1903, when the king of Scotland
succeeded Queen Elizabeth, and the
crowns became united. The expression
had been used for some time before
that event to distinguish England,
Wales and Scotland from Little Bri-
tain-Britannia Minor-which was the
French province Of Bretagne or Brit
tany, across the channel from Eng
land. On January 1, 1901, when the leg.
islative union of Great Britain and Ire
land took place, the name adopted was
the Omitted Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland" 1t is a mistake to refer
to the United Kingdom as England.
England is a part of the United
Kingdom, as Saskatchewan is a part
of the Dominion of Canada.

A food map OF Europe today shows
not single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only. small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
INFLATED on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers Of population.
Belgium ard northern France, as
we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie OF the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war ratfons of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after~the-war needs, which, with those
81 Serbia, must be included In this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have Immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
tor the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own
