Plans have been perfected by the Ameri- can Red Cross whereby photographs Of identified graves of American soldiers in France will be sent to relatives of heroes in this country.
 Several hundred such photographs al- ready have been forwarded to families of men who died in service overseas, and announcement today from the Amer ican Red Cross headquarters today says that the work of obtaining photographs has been speeded to such a point where production from now on is expected to reach about 1000 every month. The photo graph will be sent to the next Of kin.
 The Red Cross has undertaken the task at the request of the war department, and under authority of Lieut.. Col C. C.. Pierce of graves registration service Headquarters of their service are at Tours, France. Each photograph will be mounted in a cardboard folding frame, one side of which contains data con- corning the dead soldier.
 While all requests for such photo graphs should be forwarded to the bureau of communication, American Red Cross, such requests will not be really neces- sary and will not hurry receipt of the photograph. Neither will special requests receive special consideration.
 Every identified grave in France will be photographed. Photographers will not be permitted to deviate from the ar engagements in order to take picture of any particular graves. The Red Cross will forwarded the photographs to rela- ltives as soon as they are received at head quarters.

NNETTE KELLERMANN. noueen

A NNETrE kELAERMANN, Queen
 A\- of the Sea-" has no other equal = in all the wide, wide. world when it comes to prowess as a swim mer, daring as a diver, exquisite sym metry of figure and grace of move ment in the water and her work in the big picture, Queen of the Sea-, is so realistic, so wonderfully clever and so enchanting that there would have been an immediate answer in the affirna- tive from everybody in the vast al- dience yesterday, I feel sure, had some film Tinker Belln of Peter Pan" fame stepped before the footlights to inquire:
 Do you believe in fairies?"
 For surely nothing outside of real fairy stories" is more lovely than this beautiful picture-more dreamlike or more graceful than the ''star'' of the production, whose fame has spread all over the world, whose 1.-the, beautiful body and exquisitely graceful move ments make her a joy to look at-a wonder to the eye!
 As the mermaid, 'Merilla," in this spectacular aquatic photoplay, Queen of the Sea- which is delighting large
  nette Kellermann far surpasses any other role she ever essayed in pictures.
 To be sure "fig leaves" are at a premium when the lovely Annette dis ports herself in the water Gas well as out of the water), but then whoever saw a perfectly good swimmer "ail dressed up and no place to go?" Clothes, to be sure, are an obstruction in the water and one looks at swim mers, divers and aquatic experts in sort of a sexless, impersonal way and the ''undraped drama is viewed as a work. of art which means symmetry, grace and beauty in it's entirety! Queen of the Sea- is quite re- markable picture in many ways, for besides the aquatic stunts" the fairy 1 legend which carries the story along, 1 is well told and presents many beauti- l full and attractive scenes where gob- lins,. elves and high "muck-a-mucks'' | hold sway!

With Annette KelIermann as "Merilla"

while the blue-green of the sea-and the purple" tints of the leaves" and the red d-gold shades and nuances are employed with skil1ful effect.
 Annette Kellermann does some won- derfully beautiful, picturesque diving in the picture-especially the incident when she does the "tight-rope" walk ing from the topmost pinnacle of the "lighthouse' out into the sea and the rope is cut and she dives into the open waters, presumably a hundred feet or more.
 ''The Courtship of Norman" is an amusing and clever incident showing that Hove reigns supreme" under the sea as well as over the briny deep.
 The introduction of this film fantasy is effective. in which the lovely Am nette is presented as Merilla, Queen of the Sea. Swimming in the depths of the ocean, she finds a book of prophe- ciese among the wreckage of a ship, and in it she reads that if she can save four human lives she will be endowed with a mortal form and an immortal soul.
 Boreas, Master of Storms, has de- stroyed the ship, and his daughters, the sirens, are dragging the victims to the bottom when Merilla comes to the rescue and saves three of them. The sirens report her deed to Boreas. who captures Merilla and confines her in his cave. Sometime later the ship on which Prince Hero is sailing to meet his betrothed, Princess Leandra. is wrecked. and Marilla saves the prince, who falls in love with her. but, prompt ed by the good fairy Ariela, he goes to fulfill his engagement with the princess. In accordance with the prophecy, Merilla is then gifted with a mortal body and an immortal soul. Boreas captures Leandra and inn l prisons her in his Fewer of Knives and Swords. Merlla braves the wrath 1 of Boreas to rescue the princess and 1 he is so charmed with her that he wants to make her his Queen. She scorns the idea, however, and makes 1 her way to the princess in the tower, where Boreas locks them both. | Ariela brings a spider to spin a web to the opposite cliff so that the cap-
 lives may escape. Merilla attempts to walk across and Boreas, in revenge. 1 breaks the strand and she is pitched
 into the sea. She escapes and brings 1 the prince to rescue Leandra, who out of gratitude to Merillo releases tie | prince of his promise so that he may ] wed the former Queen of the Sea. The princess finds happiness in the love of her faithful chamberlain and, like all
 true fairy stories, they live happy ever 1 afterward.
 l Besides Annette Kellermann there is a very capable company surroundins 2 her. which includes pretty little Mil dred Keats as 'Ieandra," who seems
 more like 8 "real princess than a

HOME SERVICE SECTION

The home service section of the Ameri- can Red Cross, 2S5 Brown-Marx build ing, calls attention to recent dispa tches from Washington, advising that soldiers and sailors will receive $60 award.
 The method of obtaining these awards,
 as outlined in the dispatches, are that applications should be made to the pay
 master general of the navy, in the case of sailors, and through the director of the division of finance, for soldiers. Appa- rently, the instructions call for sending the original discharge papers. The home service section advises that those entitled to these awards do not send origlnai discharge papers until the details of re- quirements are received through official channels.
 1 It is noted thst many soldiers and sail . ors will be entitled to compensation for disease or injury received during the time | of service, and which may not develop | for some months, or possibly years, with l in the five-year period. In that event, | the requirements are that the original discharge papers be sent with the appli- cation for compensation. Compensation manifestly may become more important 1 than a :S0-award, now, and if original papers are sent now, they would not be available when the application is made
 for compensation.
 1 The Red Cross is endeavoring to get l a ruling as to whether or not certlfied copies of the original discharge papers would not serve the purpose, in appllca- | tions for award. In any event. it is ad- vised that any who send papers, send them to the proper address. by registered mail, demanding the return receipt. and that before sending. a copy be made and verified by notary or other official
 authorized to administer oaths. The act
 was passed only few days ago, and nc
 risk will be incurred by few days de- lay. As soon as proper instructions are
 received, the public will be advised through the press. J. K. BROCKMAN. Chairman

KENTUCKY CROP ESTIMATES

The condition of wheat in Ken
lucky as a whole is most excellent,
after a remarkably favorable fall,
winter and spring. Rye passed the
winter in good condition, too, but as
most of Kentucky's rye is grown on
heavy clay soils, that heavy rather
badly, the average condition of rye is
slightly lower than wheat. Wheat
now shows a condition of 103 per
cent. compared to 100 per cent. at
this time last year, and ten-year-
average condition of "a per cent.
Rye is 100 per cent. now, compared
to nearly 81 per cent. this time last
year, and an average condition of sc
per cent. during the last ten years.
Wheat and rye are in excellent con-
dition in nearly all parts of the
United States, wheat showing an av-
erage condition of almost 100, per
cent for the United States as a
whole, and rye nearly 81 per cent.
Farmers, traders and others
throughout Kentucky now report
that there are on the farms 2 per
cent. more brood sows than at this
time last year, which was a high
year, while the United States as
whole the number shows less than l
per cent. increase over the high num-
Der of 1918.
Farm labor is only IS per cent.
normal in Kentucky now in total
available supply, and less than IS
normal supply throughout the United
States as a whole. On the other
hand the demand for farm labor is 2
per cent. more than normal in Ken
lucky and nearly per cent. more
than normal in the entire United
States.
Labor, including discharged sol
diers, shows a great inclination to
seek the cities and towns, and even
even former farm workers usually
seek city jobs in preference to going
back to the farms.

CAUSE OF HEADACHE

By knowing the cause, disease
may often be avoided. This is par
ticularly true of headache. The
most common cause of headache is a
disordered stomach or constipation,
which may be corrected by taking a
few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Try it. Many others have obtained
permanent relief by taking these
tablets. They are easy to take and
mild and gentle in effect.
