Cheer Up, No Shortage
In Wool, Says Expert
Nor Will Prices Advance, Is
the Opinion. of William
M. Wood

In these days of less fuel, food heat
and light, the announcement just made
by experts that there is no need Of
fearing shortage of wool has aroused
what is akin to enthusiasm, particularly
IN cotton and woollen trade circles.
The roassuring figures, so far IS this
che commodity is concerned, are puo-
lished IN the most recent issue OF
"Commerce and Finance" trade jour
nal. The statistics on the wool trade
were gathered by william ". Wood,
president Of the American Woolen
Company.
MIR. " oo1 points ou. that, during the
last year, Americas consumption os
lew wool amounted TO about 650.000,-
600 poundr Tie moss recent figures
Mr. Wood was able to obtain show that
during the present year Americas sup
ply, 10th from her own resources and
what she will be furnished by her
Allies, amounts to .26o, 100000 rounds
OF new wool.
"personany I see no shortage in
wool or advance in wool prices. says
Mr.. Wood in his article. "Of course,
there might be temporary rise on

On the Screen
Charles Ray in The Hired
Man. Opens at the
Rivoli

Again Charles Ray! This time he is
at the Rivoli in Paramount picture
called "Thc Hired Man"
The tale is /; simple cnc, but when
one sees Ray on the screen he does not
wish to be bothered with detail. 1t
takes ones attention from the central
figure Charles Ray is the sort of an
actor VINO can stand for five hundred
feet of film merely chewing a straw
and make you wonder why the scene
hadn't lasted longer.
The scenes where Ruth Endicott. in
the person Of Doris Lee, Is teaching
Ezry how to dance are particularly
good. There is always q touch of
pathos with Rays humor and that Is
the reason he reaches the heart. There
is no one else on the screen who has
the power to portray so cleverly this
particular brand of comedy, unless in
deed it be that greatest of all COM
edians,. Charles Chaplin.
Ezry Hollins is the hired man. He
works from early morn till night for
Caleb Endicott, because he is in love
with Ruth. But Ezry has aspirations
and he has saved S4S0 to go to college.
The other 500 he wins in a hurdle race
at the county fair, and then, at last,
just as his dreams are about to be real
lied he is called upon to make great
sacrifice for the girl he loves.
Poor Ezry stumbles on, unhappy and
misunderstood, and then comes a
chance to make still greater sacrifice,
and he never falters.
The titles are in keeping with the
quantity humorous way in which Ray
portrays the central character. For
instance, Ezra in his embarrassment
says to Ruth: 'Why-why haven't you
gone to the danceo' To which she
replies. "Of course. what made YOU
think | hadn't gomez
The supporting cast is excellent. 1t
includes Lydia Knott as Mrs. Endicott
Charles French as Caleb and ilbert
Gordon as Walter, his son.
The picture was written by Julien
Josephson and directed by Victor
Schertznger.
Mr.. and Mrs Sidney Drew presented
comedy called "Heip Wanted" On
the picture programme were two un-
usual features called "Where the
Clouds Come From" and "Whte Water
and Windy Willie"
The overture was Karl Goldmark' :
"sakuntala." Helen Morrill, song "Love
Is Best of All from Princess Pat;
Annie David, the harp solost, offered
"Aeolus's Harp" and the Rivoli chorus
contributed the bell chorus from "l
Fagliacci.' II. L.

Miss Kellerman at Palace
Perfect Woman, Not Lady,
Now Does Wire Act

Annette kellermann is at the Palace
this week in an eliminate" revue. The
word is in quotes because it is Miss
kellermann's own. Between scenes she
came down to the footlights in a Gun
ming red silk sweater and knickers and
said that she wanted her revue to be so
very intimate that she was going to
make a speech. 1t wasn't much Of a
speech but the people liked it; and
then she did some dancing on the wire,
which they liked also.
Miss kellermann said that she re
GREETED the fact that the management
had advertised her as the perfect wom-
an because she had no wish to be a
perfect lady.
Miss ekllermann's revue is extremely
pretentious. The company includes Ed
mund Makalif, Charles Adler and the
beautiful Kellermann girls. The songs
arc by Irving Berlin, Bert Grant, Ted
Snyder, Joe young and Sam Lewis.
There are ten scenes, including "The
Land of Flowers" "Thc Deep Blue Sea, !"
Air" and "Thc Battleship L. S. A."
Besides her live wire act Miss Keller
mann does some remarkably graceful
toe dancing and some still more grace
ful diving and swimming.
Theodore Kosloff is remaining for his
second week at the Palace. He is ac-
companicd by his own famous Russian
orchestra and Vera Fredowa, who does
q fascinating Russian winter dance.
Maria Marlova, Natcha Rambona and a
number of other dances.
kasloff is commanding figure
whether he be on the screen or on the
stage. When he does an "Aftcr Poem,'
clad principally in leopard skin and
q pair of sandals, there is something in
the weird music and the way he flour
ishes his spear tina makes every woman
in the house afraid that he will rush
down into the audience and rag her
around by the hair.
Kosloff, whose first name is also
Theodore, had to respond to dozen
encores, and we couldn't help wonder
ing if he looked half so attractive
after he was clothed and i'll his right
mind.
Edwin Arden presented a timely lit
tie play called "Trapped." 1t was all
about the U. S. Secret Service and
Major John Dent. L. S. A. The Court.

omens on Horses.

There are several omens dealing with
horses. A warrior likes his mount TO
neigh before going into battle, as this
is sign of victory. To meet piebald
horse is lucky, and If you meet anoth-
er soon after you may express any wish
and get it granted. A horse with
white star on its forehead is another
lucky sign, but to meet white horse
means bad luck, unless one spits at 1t.
This averts the i'll luck. Another bad
sign is for horse to neigh opposite
the door of a house. 1t means sickness
to one of the inmates.

Makers of Heroes.

Emerson says, "Times of heroism are
generally times of terror" They show
true character. 1t seems that human
nature needs test to show the stuff
it's made of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by
mighty challenge. 1t seems as though
there is some militarism of the soul
that waits the fife call ard the meas
ure of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack of occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rouses and
strides frayward to the dismay of petty
puppets of annoyance.

American Red Cross Aids With
Supplies and Comforts in the
Equipment Of Valiant
Army.

TT is particularly interesting to Amer
leans to know the tremendous
work which the American Red
Cross has done toward relieving dis
tress in Belgium. Among the many
things done for King Albert's gallant
little army by the Red Cross the fol-
lowing are a few:
1t established dining room and
reading and writing room at the ware
houses in lie Havre.
1t gave a plate and bowl to 6,O0O
munition workers in - to use at
their meals.
1t fitted up recreation rooms for
workers at munition plants.
1t installed cooperative restaurant
for the military personnel of the Mari
time Agency at lie Havre.
1t installed shower baths and bar
ber shop for the army garrisons in
lie Havre.
In army training centers the Red
Cross gave household comforts, phonO-
graphs, games, etc.
1t established dormltory for 200
men at the Home for Permisslonaires
at Calais
1t established canteen and library
at Calais.
1t established another canteen for
the personnel OF sanitary trains.
1t gave material and games for
canteen for the personnel of the nayal
base at .
1t gave the same for a canteen for
the personnel of Belgian seaplane
units
1t equipped mess for the personnel
of the unit at Calais.
1t gave tents, canteens, reading
rooms and shower baths for the per
sonnel of the Bourbough bakery.
1t organized dining rooms for
searchlight companies and artillery
batteries having fixed cantonments
and installed shower baths in them
1t distributed 10000 enameled plates
and cups for soldiers in the trenches
1t gave prizes for organized athletic
tournaments.
1t sent presents 20 each man deco
rated for bravery These presents are
usually razors, pipes, fountain pens
and such. Up to now this work has
only applied to the infantry.
The Red Cross provided the appa-
ratus and films for cinema shows.
Eight thousand soldiers see them
every day.
1t supplied books for all soldiers.
1t Installed recreation and writing
room at the large canteen at La Panne.
1t presented to every infantry and
cavalry regimental surgeon medical
travelling case, holding set of medi-
cal instruments for field service.
This work required an appropria-
ton of approximately 1,250,0OO francs.
Straight from the front is this COM
ment of a Belgian colonel. 1t was
made recently while he was sitting in
his dugout talking of the work of
canteen for which the American
Red Cross had Just provided quarters

Catholic in Its Friendships.

A certain cat, the story of whose ca
reer is vouched for by a cat club,
adopted litter of young rabbits and
nourished them well. This cat was,
for that matter, very sociable and in

constant companion was chicken.

same dish and slept every night in the
same inclosure.

Your Face.

The face of a man or a woman Is
an unfailing mirror of what is in the
heart of that man or that woman. If
you will study faces you will study
life. The face cannot deceive you If
yon study it. If the face tries to dis
semble you look through it into the
heart of a more or less pathetic hypo-
crite.

The Murderer's Touch.

1t is an old belief that the body OF
a murdered person will bleed on being
touched by the guilty one. This "evi-
dence' of guilt was once admitted in
the Scottish criminal courts. If you
harpen to possess a copy of Sir Wa

Border" you'll find an interesting story
in this connection.
