DISCLOSED VINEGAR INDUSTRY

Philadelphia, Jan. 30-(By MaiD D.- Dr. H. Garfield's order as Fuel Ad- ministrator, closing certain industries brought to the public attention the fact that vinegar has long been a staple industry in Philadelphia and when it's representatives appeared be- fore the local fuel administrator to claim exemption from the closing or der the statement was made that one factory has been in continuous opera tion, night and day and Sundays, for fifty-two years and another for more than forty years
 The necessity for this almost per petual motion arises from the fact that vinegar is made by placing alco- hol in tanks lined and packed with heechwood shavings. The minute the generating process is halted the shaw ings dry up or are burned out and are useless.
 "There are about 600 bushels of beechwood shavings in vat and we have two hundred vats," said large manufacturer. "Should We stop for a day it would mean the closing of the plant for at least six months"
 Vinegar is a necessity in the manu- facture of explosives and much of the output at present is used for that pur- pose.

oRGANIzE FRATERNAL
 WAR ALLIANCE SOCIETY

Correspondence of Associated Press. )
 London Jan. 30-The British-Amer. ican and Entente Allies Fraternal Alliance' is the name of a new pa triotic association which was inaugur- ated at a luncheon attended recently by the Lord Mayor; the Greek Minis ter, H. H. Buckler, representing the American Ambassador, Prince Borg hese, representing the Italian Ambas- sador, and other prominent city men.
 The chairman said the object of the alliance was to associate the men and women of all nations comprised in the Entente in a common bond of mutual interest and that it's immediate pur- poses were:
 To pledge themselves to a steadfast support of the government in the pros- ecution of the war to righteous vic tory, to overthrow Prussian militar4sm and render it incapable of further evil.
 To advocate the formation of lea que of nations to help in winning that victory and afterwards to ensure for the world an abiding peace.
 To decline to admit Germany or any of her allies to that league, or consort with them in any way until the crimes committed in this war had been ex- plated.
 Their further object was to strengthen the hands of the govern men by awakening the people from a state of passivity and inducing them to respond to tke governments call for help.
 A resolution pledging those present to further those objects was carried unanimously. Y

BEST THEATRE.

"The Land of Promise" is the second production starring Billie Burke to be released by Paramount Pictures Cor poration and discloses the piquant young star as a young English girl whose life has had all the romance and charm of a mummy's. That iss until she reaches "The Land of Promise" the land she had dreamed about where all her dreams would some true. w. Somerset Maughan. the author, chose Canada to represent this land, but un- der the sparkling surface of the photo- play one IS made to see that each in dividual has "Land of Promise" in his or her own heart, and that happi- ness lies waiting for us at our very doors. "The Land of Promise" is com- ing to the Best Theatre today.
 The story has to do with the unhap- py life of a girl "companion" to a wealthy old woman and her longing for the happiness that comes to other girls and seemed to have passed her by. How he went to Canada, thinking it "Fhc Land of Promise" and found only more misery even in that fair country; how she married a rough farmer bathing him all the while, but hoping to escape from the monotony of her life, and how she finally came to love him and appreciate his good qual- ities; all this and much more, is graph lcal!y shown in ''The Land of Prom ise."
