ADJUSTMENTS
"The Birth Of q Race"

''The Birth Of a Race" which is at
tracing ever increasing attention at
the shubert-Belasco Theater.-is a
wonderful Photographic production in
many respects, and therefore well
worth seeing. Opinions differ in the
reviews that have been published. but
it is believed the general public will
consider it splendid masterpiece of
it's kind. Notwithstanding defects that
are justly open to criticism.
The production suffers, and will
probably continue to suffer. the bur-
den of a badly chosen title. Perhaps
The Weakness Of Humanity" would
better suit. It's theme is even mis-
stated in a subtitle. But, notwith-
standing these defects, it is a wonder
full production and some of its pic
lures are masterpieces Of moving pic
ture art.
Its prologue Is devoted to the illus.
tration, with pictures Of biblical in
spiration, of how man, since the days
of the Garden of Eden, has steadily
fought away from Gods purpose that
his life should be one Of love in its
biggest sense and that peace should
be his portion. The wretched strug-
gle Of human selfshness and envy is
pictured with telling effect from the
time or Gain until the crucidxfon.
The portrayal of the Savior, at all
times, reyez>ntly. and with consum-
mate discretion, nevertheless jars
upon the nerves Of sensitive piety.
But with that single exception the in
cidents of the prologue are really
most impressive.
Then comes another period of the
worlds history. from the discovery of
America and impressive pictures of
the landing Of Columbus to the sign
ing of the emancipation proclama-
ton by Lincoln. That-section Of the
production also is strongly and salts
factorily illustrated. butsfollows after
but a f1ve-minute intermission, which
scarcely gives the average mind time
to adjust itself to the startling
change.
The last section deals with the re-
cent war period, and its story is one
Of the most touching ever depicted on
the screen. It aims alternately to
picture peace and love in a beautiful
family relation and discord and war
through causes well known.
The pictures are free from any
thing in the slightest degree objec-
tionable to the prophecies, although
the patriotic doughboy will doggedly
maintain that narrowing hospital
scene is historically incorrect, "be-
cause it implies that the Huns broke
through the. American lines in France.

OPAL MINING IN MEXICO
HAS Renewed ACTIVITY
Valuable Industry Is Yet Untouch-

tive Methods Used.

QUERETARo. Mexico. July Is
Correspondence of the Associated
Press) Opal mining in this district,
an industry as yet untouched by for
eign capital, has shown renewed
activity with the close of the war
and a normal number Of men will
soon be at work. The Queretaro dis
trict for more than sixty years had
furnished virtually all of the opals
sold In the republic. most Of the val
liable gems going to dealers in Mex
leo City. who, in turn, ship them to
the United States.
Primitive methods are still used
here to secure the gems. Dynamite
is used to blast the gems from the
ground. After the rock is broken
into stable pieces It is taken to the
shops for the grinding and polishing
processes. Modern methods are not
used. the rough stones merely being
placed spn spindles and applied to an
ordinary grfndstone worked by foot
power. Vigorous rubbing on soft
leather fs the last step in completing
an opal for the market.

The same writer, discussing the
