The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1919-10-31

Last week was Roosevelt Memorial
week and If anything at all was done
in Henderson county we are not
aware. We have seen Republican
day here when all claimed to be
friends and partisans of Theodore
Roosevelt-hence, it will be a pity
to see the county fall flat on the
memorial fund proposition.

his home place in Lexington.

Aren Fiber.

1t seems probable, says the Board
Of Trade Journal, that a considerable
trade may develop in the Netherlands
East Indies in the preparation and
export of aren fiber, which is OBJ
tained from the fibrous mass found on
the leaf sheaths of the aren palm
(Arenga saccharifera LabilD after the
fall of the old leaf stem. The material
can be cut from the stem in strips,
and is used py the natives for thatch-
ing, ropes and small, stiff brooms, and
also as binding material in native
house construction and canoes. There
is also European demand for aren
fiber, arising from it's great resistance
to water, which makes the fiber mark
edly suitable for covering submarine
cables. Aren fiber does not appear to
be utilizable in the paper industry.

Ed Houston, farmer living north OF
Junction City, KAN, who followed all
accodnts of battles in the big war
very closely
Mr. Houston says that the Indian
was an adept at crying "kamerad."
n his own tongue, of course, long be-
fore the German empire was formed.
and cites an experience Of his own
to prove 1t.
MIR. Houston was member OF
Troop G. Seventh cavalry, the resi'
ment commanded by the gallant Col.
George Custer, for eight years. Un-
der Captain Edgerly he went to the
scene of the Pine Ridge troubles. The
troops lined up to disarn band Of
Indians that had given themselves up.
They included the chief, Big Foot. and
q large number of braves. as we'll as
women and children.
The captiveS were herded together
and soldiers formed hollow square
around them. Each Indian wore his
blanket draped over his shoulders,
and, with arms folded across the chest
In the customary Indian position,
maintained stoical silence. 1t was
known that a number Of the Indians
carried guns, but no treachery was
suspected.
Suddenly. apparently without
given signal, one Indian opened fire
on the surprised troopers. Instantly
all of the other braves followed suit,
and even the squawS and older chill
dren joined in the attack upon the
soldiers.
Little Indian boys with sawed-off
shotguns fought until killed and the
battle was a bloody affair. 1t ended
when there were no more Indians, be-
cause the soldiers, angered at the
trickery that had been shown, gave
no quarter and the Indians asked for
none.
The following day the Seventh went
to Drexel Mission. where another bat.
tie took place. After the Pine Ridge
trouble had been stamped out, the
regiment returned to its station at
Fort Riley, where Mr.. Houston con-
tinued in service for a number OF
years.

Americanizstion Influence.

An unforeseen by-product of home
demonstration work, especially in
cities, has been its influence as an aid
in the Americanization of people OF
foreign birth or extraction. In many
instances it was the home-demOnStra-
ton agent in her food-conservation
work who gave the foreign woman the
first understanding Of the war and her
duty as an American citizen.

As TO Speak-Easies

To the Editor Of Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Thc alarm of some persons in
Philadelphia over the alleged existence
of speak easies since the dry (0 law
began to operate is enough to bring a
smile to the lips of an experienced w.
G. T. L. workers who is perfectly aware
of the fact that speak easies have for
years flourish undisturbed in many
parts of the city, even after complaints
from observers and n,ighbors have been
made to tho powers that be.
A prominent Catholic priest com
planned long ago that speak easies op-
Grated by women and patronized chiefly
by women made much work for the
clergy of his parish. A prominent bust
ness man reported districts in and
around "Hell's Half Acre" where
speak easies were beyond count.
1t has been reported that certain
type of open speak k-easy carried on by
gangs of boys has existed in Philadel =
phia for years, and that boys not yet
in their teens were frequent patrons of
these back alley and open-lot speak
easies. 1t has also been reported that
boys employed in bottling establish >
ments have carried ON certain kind
of speak easy trade among their
gangs" for long time.

heart and open your purse. Con-
tribute your small change for the ice

'END OF THE ROAD"
GARRICK'S NEW FILM
Social Evil Exposed in Story
Form Through Medium
of Movies

Perhaps ''The End of the Road"
which was revealed to the public yes
terday at the Garrick, might be
likened unto the play of which Hamlet
speaks when he tells the first player:
For the play, remember, pleased
not the million twas caviare to the
general" Thus, although this photo
play undoubtedly has an appeal to
seekers after truth concerning the seri-
ons physical consequences attendant on
an immoral life, the casual seeker OF
entertainment may find himself shocked
and unamused by the story unfolded
on the screen and will have but him
self to blame If unworthy curiosity Is
not gratified by salacious diversion.
The purpose of the picture was made
very evident by the frank way in which
it has been heralded in advertising and
publicity matter.
The health authorities of the state
have sanctioned this picture. though
the censor board has neither approved
nor disapproved the film. Prepared
under government auspices for wartime
use, it is now being shown as pri-
Nate enterprise.
The careers of two girls are depicted
in detail from childhood to woman
hood; one informed by her mother of
sex hygiene, the other left to seek out
her own information by a mother

| thy man for her SON. in law. The
clean minded girl renders service to
mankind as nurse, but the other
girl is revealed as of one who pays for
the evanescent flowers that fade along
the primrose path of pleasure.
The cast of players has been selected
with care. Richard Bennett. who played
in Brieux's stage play of similar theme,
has the role of a physician who has lit
tic more to do than act as a human
pointer, in showing the two girls the
aftermath of afflicted unfortunates.
Joyce Fair has the part of the indis

that gains sympathy. The other girl,
whose life is made happy because of her
understanding, is ably portrayed by
Claire Adams.
| This film has been made from the
woman's side, no doubt influenced BY
DR.. Katherine b. Davis, who served in
the War Department. commission on
activities at the camps and who wrote
the scenario, which was directed by z.
F. Griffith at the Edison studio.
