At the Casino.

Cheating Cheaters," a screen adapt
alton from the stage play Of the same
name, is the latest Select picture in
which Clara Kimball Young is starring
and Is the current attraction at the
Casino along with a two reel slap
stick comedy and Pathe News.
Cheating Cheaters' is one Of the
most unusual plays ever produced on
either stage Or screen. In 1t Miss
Young has the role Of a clever secret
service operative, who apparently is a
member of a famous band Of crooks.
AS the leader Of one band she plans
to rob the home of the supposedly
wealthy Palmers, but, at the last min
ute she learns that the Palmers are
also crooks, and are themselves plan
ming to rob the Brocktons. the name
which the first band has taken. There
is general mix-up of families crooks
and secret service people but in the
end things are smoothed out and the
seed Of an unusual romance takes root.
Clara KimDall Young's productions
are marked by an excellence in every
aspect, from the story. production,
cast, costuming and all TIE other many
details which enter into the creation
of motion picture, Cheating Cheat
ers" comes up to high standard in
every way, specially in the quality Of
the cast that supports Miss Young
Among the members are Anna O.
Nilsson, as Grace Palmer: Jack Holt,

HAS BIC GUNS

drawing had been started. On April
20, 1918, a completed gun was rolled
or it's own wheels to Sandy Hook prov.
Ing grounds for long-range tests.
The guns, Secretary Daniels said.
originally were intended for the new
battle cruisers, but change in design
Of the vessels made the guns avail
able for land service.
The guns were mounted on car
riages 'hich could be moved freely
over the French railroads. With them
went their naval crews. Twelve cars
were required for each gun-machine
shop cars, armored ammunition cars,
kitchen, berthing. crane and wireless
cars. The batteries were sufficiently
mobile that If an order came to move
while in action, they could be on their
way in an hour.
Greatest Range Of Mobile Guns.
The 14-inchers had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mountlngs. The German guns
whi>A fired on Paris were freaks"
T.>ey were built on permanent steel
and concrete foundations. Their pro-
jectile was small and specially built
for long flight. This reduced their eff
ficiency and while they had moral ef-
feet, their military value was small.
Because Of their permanent position
their location was discovered by allied
aviators and the guns silenced.
The German 15-inch gun in Elan
ders also became famous for its long
range bombardment Of Dunkirk and
other allied bases, but neither could
be shifted from base to base without
delay Of weeks. The American IA
inch gun could move from one end
OF France to another and had range
Of 80 miles. At range Of $4,000 yards

RICH WITH CHARM OF AGE
Old Deerfisld, In Massachusetts,, One
Of the Most Interesting Of New
England Towns.

Descendants of the first families will
tell you in all earnestness that the
newest house in Old Deerfield Is at
least one hundred and twenty-five
years old. AS matter Of fact, this IL
not true statement. but It cannot be
called "a lie" on the part of the in
formant, who Is q Puritanical New
Englander.
The difference Is all In the point Of
view. For him or for her. the half
dozen homes and the one hotel that
have been built in the last decade do
not exist. He does not see them. but
looks right through and sees the land
scape as It was before the blot ap-
peared.
Old Deerfield Is little changed since
the Indians trailed through Massa-
ehusetts on their way from Albany to
Boston. Relics Of many battle be-
tween the white man and his red
skinned foe are to be seen in the little
Pocomtuck museum. Deerfelds- only

along Main street and on the Albany
post road commemorate the many
bloody struggles to push the new from
tier westward in those early pioneer
days.
Trees that were old when Columbus
discovered America overreach Deer

street. Their height. II not their size
Of trunk, Is almost great enough to
tempt the eloquence of native Cali

For safety's sake a plump, very
plump, purse or one that has been

industries and renewed needle and
loom artistry. Loom productions like
those that New England grandmothers
turned out. Modest signs may be seen
announcing: "Raffla Baskets" that
have earned for their weavers world
fame for design. color and fine weav-

TAUGHT WORK
THEY LIKE BEST

He couldn't get a lead from this mans
silence, and to get his confidence he
asked to see. the ring. The man took II
off and handed 1t to him. His face
became suddenly animated. Il made
that" he said. Hammered 1t out of
silver myself and engraved those fig
ures on the outside. Nothing but some
playin' of mine," he added deprecat-
fngly. The adviser looked at the ring
carefully. It was well done, with o
certain look about the engraving that
gave him an idea.
That's Just Play"
"How would you like to learn en-
craving and get good position at it?''
"Doin' this? Say, this amt work.
It's just play, and nobody pays you for
havin' a good time, do they?
Lets have try at it," suggested
the adviser, "and see what happens"
The federal board sent the man to
learn engraving, and in few months
he was the best Of all the workers In
the jewelry store where he was en-
ployed.
That ring was the key that opened
the door Of success. to him. He has
walked up and is enthusiastic about his
work; only, he says, ITS not work.
This is fun"
Work always Is fun when you have
found the right vocation, and the fed

disabled soldiers like to do best.
