At THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

John Barrymore in a highly anus
ing perturbation of the great stage
comedy, ION the Quiet" will be the
very enjoyable attraction at the
Colonial this evening. Robert Ridg-
way. son OF Judge Ridgway, is a wild
youth who has been expelled from
college and who is ardently in love
with Agnes Colt, heiress to 500. O00.-
900. Horace Colt, executor of his
fathers Will, which provides tina
either of his sisters who weds with
out Horace's consent must sacrifice
the greater part of their fortune. Hor-
ace objects strongly TO an engage
men. between Agnes and Robert.
Ethel with her brothers consent is
married TO the Duke of Carbondale.
but neither is sure of the others love.
AT length, Horace agrees to an en-
gagement between Agnes and Robert,
providing that the latter stops drink
ing, return 20 college and completes
his term. But while outwardly con-
senting to this Robert weds Agnes
secretly, the witness to their wedding
being McGeachy, sporty bookmaker.
McGeachy gets possession OF the mar
riage certificate and uses it TO black
mail Agnes. Robert goes back to col
lege. His brother-in-law, the Duke,
persuades him TO entertain two chorus
girls in his rooms, the Duke to be the
host, with view TO provoking the
Duchess jealousy and ascertaining
If she really loves him. An unsigned
telegram to the Duchess brings her
and Horace post haste to the college.
Agnes also comes to tell Robert that
McGeachy is troubling her, and re-
porter gets on the track of all parties,
seeming a scandal story. The fam
lily reunion in Roberts room results
in the discovery of the chorus girls,
and Robert is blamed. But he hustles
Agnes into an automobile and dashes
away with her pursued by Horace,
the Duchess and McGreachy. The
lovers board a motor boat and seek
refuge in a United States life-saving
station. Then attired in diving suits
they go below the water and find
peace, while Horace, astounded,
learns from McGeachy that they are
married. John Barrymore's imper-
sonation of Robert Ridgway, the
cheerful souse is undoubtedly a
source of real amusement. Mack
Sennett comedy also. This is dandy

Ewes of Eishes.


Although there are few exceptions
to the rule, the eyes Of fishes are in
tended to see beneath the water with,
and, as in the case of the eyes In all
animals. sight only becomes possible
to the eyes of diurnal animals when
there is light present. To be sure.
there may be fishes that are nocturnal
fishes. just as there are nocturnal
mammals and birds of various kinds;
but the majority of fish doubtless de-
pend upon the presence of light in or
der to see or use their eyes. Where
the light is removed. and the removal
persists for an indefinite period. it has
such an effect upon the eyes of fishes
that some of their descendants may,
within comparatively short space Of
time, lose the sense Of sight entirely.

DISTURBANCE NOW
SWEEPING OVER CHINA
Countryside TerrOrlzed BY COnspir-
atOrs. Like Boxer
Rebellion

Disturbances similar to those which
preceded the Boxer Rebellion are now
sweeping over northern China, ac-
cording to statement received by the
Joint Centenary Committee of the
Methodist Episcopal Church from Rev.
G. r. Davis, of the Tientsin Mission.
1.-The countryside in the Tsunhua
district has been terrorized by secret
conspirators who go about at night
demanding money from the villagers
and threatening Christians" declared
Mr.. Davis. Leaders of the Boxer
uprising in 1900 have returned from
exile and are directing the new move
ment Church membership has drop
ped very markedly because the
Chinese are afraid to attend Christian
services.
Though there are those who be-
lieve that this new wave of terrorism
is part of a plot TO restore the em-
pire, the actions of the conspirators
are suspiciously like those which pre-
coded the Boxer uprising. II is unsafe
for anyone to be abroad from sunset
until dawn. The local authorities are
we'll aware of the growing movement,
but are afraid to assert themselves.
General confusion and unrest pre-
vail throughout this helpless, disturb
ed land, the failure Of the northern
wheat crop having added to the uni
versal discomfort. Robberies and
murders take place on the highway in
broad daylight without any interior
ence by the civil officials. The Chinese
Republic is on par with the Bolshe-
wiki government in Russia. Any day
may see another revolution"

The bearing of the Prince Of Wales

every one knows that to say so is no

CONSIGNED FLAG TO OBLIVION
Youngsters First Burned German En-
blem and Then Solemnly Buried
the Ashes In the Earth.

sThe war is making wonderful Inn
preston on the mind of American
childhood" remarked DR.. Edgar De-
Witt Jones, Bloomington (nl.) pas
tor, discussing current topics with
some friends the other day.
Doctor Jones relates little story
about his young son, age ten, to Illus
trate. In 1910 the pastor made a tour
of Europe and brought home with him
a flag of every nation visited. Occa-
sionally they would be brought forth
to exhibit to visitors, but for the last
two years had been kept undisturbed
in q box In the doctors study. One
day two months ago the little son
very earnestly said to his father:
"Papa, haven't you a German flag"
The pastor replied that he thought
there was one in his collection, at the
same time explaining to the lad that
the Teutonic banner was not popular
these days and was not to be exhib-
tied.
A few days later the little son was
more insistent. "Papa," he said, II
want that German nag; please get IL
out for me-"
81 got the boy the flag" said Doctor
Jones, "and through the window Of my
study watched what followed First
the boy called his sister, Dorothy. The
children took the flag into the yard
and with much ceremony burned 1t.
When 1t had been reduced to ashes
the children carefully gathered them
and put them in a cigar box. Then
they dug a little grave and buried the
ashes. There is a little mound in
the yard to show where the ashes OF
the kaiser's colors ere resting. Ihave
never mentioned the incident to the
children and they do not know that l
watched them."-Indianapolis News.

DON'T GET HURT
WE'RE TOO BUSY"

Routine bulletins of Safety First"
work do not always prove effective,
and the officials of the Illinois Steel
Co. have been developing new means
of bringing to the workmen the i'm
portance of care for their personal
welfare and that of other employees.
A poster which has been found
highly effective reads: Don't get
hurt. We're too busy. Uncle Sam
needs you again tomorrow" Bulletins
are posted frequently, usually with
some picture that will attract the at
tention of the men.
Another means of promoting safety
in the Gary plant has been the listing
of certain plant accidents, without
using names of workmen, TO show
how they could have been prevented

AIR CHOPPED UP BY SHELL
Aviator Describes Effect of Heavy
Missile Which Passed Seine Hun
6reds of Yards From Airplsae.

A British aviator who had been fly
ing in France since the beginning of
the war told the story of meeting a
shell from a German 17-inch gun while
he was in the air. says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
II was at an altitude of about 5000
feet one day and climbing higher at
an easy angle. when one OF those big
fellows, almost at the end of it's long
flight, came blowing along in the OPP
posite direction" he says. First
a dark little blur appeared ahead at
an angle of about 80 degrees above
me. At first it seemed TO be coming
right at me and swerved to the left
In an instructive effort to dodge the
threatened blow. Then sort of dron-
ing hum became audible and that
sound increased during the two or
three seconds that elapsed before the
big missile came up to me and swept
past. 1t was probably several hundred
yards away at its nearest. but the dis
lance seemed less.
"a few faint STRINGS of air began
to rock my machine even before the
shell went by, but the full force Of
the air wash came a fraction of a
second later. Then an almost solid
wall of air nearly threw me on my
beam ends and / was really hard put
to it to get the Keeling machine back
on an even keel. For the next mile
or two the air was like water in the
wake of big sidewheeler-all chopped
to pieces-and the machine rocked like
a springless lorry going over cobbles.
The air was disturbed for some sec.
onds after loud roar astern had told
me that the shell had come to earth"

1t is evident from the appearance
of the French flag as pictorial dec

that the tri-color does not consist of
the three colors. blue. white and red,
in equal proportion. When the famous
flag was adopted in the year that gave
the United States its Constitution,

an optical illusion. the white, in the
middle, looked narrower at distance,
than the blue. which is next TO the

YAQUIS JOIN NEW
 REVOLT IN MEXICO

Ell Paso, Texas, July 29.-Yaqui In- dians are jcining the new revolution ary movement started recently in the state of Sonora by Juan G. Gabral and Juan Medina according to informa- tion received here today. Cabral and Medina are reported to have 500 men under arms in Sonora and many In dians and Mexicans are joining them. The leaders issued proclamation re- gently announcing their intention of restoring the constitution of 1857 which was supplanted by the Quere taro constitution of 1917.
