Dear Mrs. Thompson: Kindly an
sWer this little story in your col
ufnn:
The Sin Woman rs very good
name for woman living here. TINS
woman's husband was one Of those
noble men to die on a battlefield
somewhere in France, fighting Tor
the wife be had left back here,
thinking II it was Gods will he
would come back to find her pure
from sin and waiting for him. But
God in His mercy thought other
wise.
Last month this lieutenant was
killed. The news came to this IN
faithful wife he had left behind.
What had this Sin Woman been do
ing? There was another man. You
understand.
You know what should be done
with that woman-she should be
tarred and feathered, just as the
Sin Woman was. The mouSling
she wears is a disgraceDto any good,
pure lady who wears mourning.
A MOTHER.
Are you sure that your lnIofIua-
ton about this widow is correct?
Remember that idle gossip has
broken many a true heart and de-
stroyed the reputation of many a
good woman. Before you say any
thing about this woman suppose you
investigate further and try earnest
ly to learn whether your present
judgment of her is not, after all,
founded on hearsay rather than on
your own positive knowledge.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am a girl
of 20 years 1 have been. going with
one young man for three years who
lives in the city, and corresponding
with another for three years who
lives out of town. My out-of-town
friend, who lives about 800 miles
from here, comes to see me twice
a year. I love both of them dearly
and would hate to give up either.
Each one objects to my going with
the other, and they both have asked
me to marry them. ! don't know
what to do, as I don't know which
one I love the most. Kindly give
me your advice.
BLACK EYES.
You are not in love, or you would
know which of the men you care
the more for. Keep both for friends
and if one objects too much, lei

the following to say of Moline:
Here is where Moline gets some

it.
'One of the Moline four-minute

Moline factory to boost Liberty loan
subscriptions.
He went and gave his talk. 1t
was a good talk. He had the ma
tives crying one minute and laugh
ing the next He urged every en-
ploye to buy bond and to buy it
on the first day of the drive.
But after he had completed his
four-minute talk one Of the en-
ployes got up in meeting and po-
litely informed the four-minUte man
that every man in the plant had
already paid down his money for a
bond and that the initial purchase
of bonds by the men was twice as
| much as the total bond purchase
for that plant during the third

"The Iced Bullet" Stars Willidm Desmond.

William Desmond is seen as full play, "The Iced Bullet" which will be seen at the Coliseum theatre to- night. The play derives its odd name from a mysterious contrivance used by the villain of the piece to as- sassinate his guardian while the two are separated by some hundreds of miles. Desmond appears as crime specialist who is called on to un- dertake the difficult task of finding out how the shooting was accom- plshed In this he succeeds, and in cidentally wins the hand of the vic tim's daughter. Desmond also ap- pears in another role in the same play, as the early part of the action shows him as an aspiring scenario writer seeking to place his play "The Iced Bullet" at the Thomas H Ince studios In this he is wholly unsuccessful, and the theme of his story takes place only in dream which comes to him in an un- guarded office after he has been buffeted about the studios. This earlier portion of the play renders possible the showing of both exter- iors and interiors of the great Thom- as H. Ince plant at Culver City which are said to be extremely in teresting.

While Regina Badet in Atone ment" is referred to as the Yam pnre of France, the play is the story of woman who is true to her lover and refuses to be tempted by riches and promises of luxuries, and therefore gives the wrong impress sion. Her vampire" act in this play is used for the purpose of se- curing justice.
 Better even than Sarah Bern hardt!"
 This was the conclusion reached by three famous New York critics when they saw the work of Albert Signer in Mothers of France"
 Now MT. Signer is to be seen in another protodrama bearing the ti- tie of "Atonement," and in this pro- duction his wonderful artistry, his great ability and his polish is seen to the best possible advantage "Atonement' is the first release in the Brady-International Service = World-Pictures in which the most famous, French screen artists are seen in American plays.
