'OPEN YOUR
EYES" SOLVES
GREAT PROBLEM

"Open Your Eyes" was prepared
under the supervision of the United
States Public Health Service. Med
ical authorities, public officials, Y. M.
C. A. secretaries, educators, social
workers, and army and navy officers
have strongly endorsed this "picture
with mission" Besides telling a
story replete with thrills and pathos,
the picture is intended to be a potent
factor in educating the public on the
subject of social diseases.
"Open Your Eyes" begins with
the pictures of a lecture before a
medical clinic, in which the plain
facts of what is commonly referred
g as the social evil are set forth
in the strongest possible manner.
The danger of ignorance in regard to
the vital facts of life is emphasized.
The gay life on Broadway of Alex
Valentine, a wealthy scion of one of
New York's socially prominent fam
lilies, is clearly depicted. Frances
Forester, an innocent young girl,
whose mother has kept her in com
plete ignorance of the dangers which
surround young people, comes to the
Valentine household on a visit to the
young FOUNDERS aunt.
Delighted with the girls curiosity
to see Broadway and its gay life,
young Alex takes her on round of
the brilliant cabarets, where, for the
first time, she drinks wine and sees

at first hand the life which complete
ly absorbs her host. Before long Val
entine persuades Miss Forester to
take an apartment in New York.
where he is a constant visitor.
Some time later the young man
falls genuinely in love with Kitty
Walton, young heiress, to whom he
becomes engaged. Just at this time
Frances Forester is informed by her
physician that, as a result of her re-
lations with Valentine, she is the
victim of malady, the very exist
ence of which she has hitherto been
in ignorance.
Valentine, fearing to we'd Kitty,
visits quack doctor and is assured
that there is no danger whatever in
his marrying. An elaborate wedding
is arranged but Frances Forester,
determined that no other innocent
girl shall suffer what she has endur-
ed, interrupts the marriage ceremony
with the startling announcement that
the bridegroom has no right to
marry.
Saved in this manner from Val
entine, who eventually goes insane,
Kitty turns to her youthful sweet
heart, while Frances Forester, cured
by proper treatment, married a youth
who was devoted to her before her
fatal visit to the Valentine home.
This lad has also fallen victim to the
pitfalls which beset the ignorant, but
has been saved from the consequent
ces by the wise treatment of a re-
putable physician.

CITIZENS WILL HELP
FARMERS FIGHT FIRES
Volunteer brigade Organized to As
sist in EXtingltishing Grain Fires
During Harvest Season

A volunteer fire brigade, COM
posed OF citizens of Pullman, will
be organized here at once to assist
the farmers OF this district in fight
ing grain fires during the approach
ing harvest season. Fire fighting
apparatus, including several milk
cans filled With water, and shoyels,
sacks and mop stocks will be as
sembled and kept in readiness at the
city hall the apparatus to be taken
to the scene of the fire by the mem
bers of the volunteer brigade. State
Fire Warden W. a. Groce was in
the city Tuesday in the interests Of
his office and urged the organiza-
ton of such a brigade al the meet
ing OF the chamber of commerce. He
called attention to the fact that
grain fire hazards are fully so per
cent greater this year than in the
past few years, due to the extreme
n dry season and the heavy foliage,
and urged that every precaution be
taken to reduce the grain loss TO
minimum.
Grain valued at $4,000 has al
ready been destroyed in the state
this year, he said, and Is of the II
grain fires which resulted in this ire
mendous loss were the direct result
OF carelessness. Some of them
originated with cigarette or cigar
stub carelessly dropped by an auto
mobilist along the public roads.
Mr.. Groce called attention to the
remarkable efficiency of the vol
unteer fire brigade at Waitsburg
as well as at other places, the Waits
burg fire fighters responding to ~
calls for help last year and reducing
the fire loss to minimum
A committee including J S, Klein

ward the organization Of a fire brl'

BUY BUSINESS BLOCK
,oeaI Fraternal Order Takes Over 1.
q q. r. Building ON Main Street
for Lodge Home

ryening Star Lodge No. 26,
xniehts of Pythias, is the new owner
! The three-story l. o. o. f. block,
]. Main and High streets, a deal
having been closed this week for the
anrchase of the structure from L. c..
Fniott. of Walla Walla, who has held
II for 90 years. The purchase price
Was $50 900, or about half what it
geuld cost to construct the building
mder present conditions. For sew
anal months the local lodge has been
considering the question OF a new
home. the time being ripe for the
oreanization to broaden its scope and
nroyide for future home that would
al credit to the city. The construc-
tidn OF a new temple was considered
fully, but the high cost OF labor and
material made such q move almost
mohibitiye. The purchase OF the Ell
lictt building solves the problem to
nicely, and will place the lodge in
position to dispose of the struc-
ture and construct new temple
when conditions warrant.
The building is 90x100 feet and
Of three stories, with boiler room
Id the rear and steam heat through
out the building. 1t was constructed
By the Pullman lodge of Odd Fellows
in 1890, the year following the fire
which destroyed the entire city, but
during the panic of 1893 the hodge
was unable to meet It's obligations
and the building passed into the
hands of Mr.. Elliott, who has held il
ever since.
The first floor is now occupied by
the Nook confectionery store and the
Variety store, with apartments or
the second floor and the entire third
floor ball room. Under the plans
Of the new owners the second floor
will be remodeled, the entire front
part to be used for club rooms

ASK ARTER|AL ROAD
FOR WEST APPROACH
Chamber of Commerce Endorses
Route Through Palmerton Prop
erty and Gets Busy on Ar
engagements for Improve
ment

A troublesome question in regard
to the proposed new west approach
to the city of Pullman was disposed
of Tuesday when the chamber OF
commerce went on record as favor
able to the proposed route through
the j. NJ. Palmerton property, to
the north Of the present West Main
street highway, and appointed Judge
Thos. Neill a committee OF one to
draft a petition for an arterial high
way to connect with the Colfax-Pull-
man road near the J. B. Holt prop
erty, on the west outskirts of the
city Preliminary figures assembled
by Prof. NJ. X. Snyd1~, following
a survey of the route, indicate that
the cost of the road will aggregate
$4,000, part to be paid by the
city of Pullman, part by the county
and part by the farmers who reside
west of Pullman and will make use
of the road.
j. S. Klemgard, prominent farm
er of the Evansville district, vol
unteered to establish a zone of the
farms which would profit through
the new approach to the city, to as
sess each farmer stated amount
per acre 10 pply On the cost of the
highway and to collect the money
himself although the contributions
will not be compulsory.
In case it is found necessary to
issue bonds to take care of the city's
part of the cost of the new road an
attempt will be made by the farm
ers and citizens to have the city
council include in the bond issue a
sufficient sum TO improve the road
leading into the city frolA the north
a. the same time. The farmers who
use the road recently improved it
themselves to tho city limits and ask
the city to put it in shape from that
point to the business district
With most Of the preliminary
work already completed, the chamber
of commerce will proceed with all
haste in making final arrangements
for the construction of the new west
approach, thus eliminating the IL
per cent grade of the West Main
street approach, against which the
farmers have registered strenuous
objection.
