SIXSHOOTER ANDY COMING TO PALACE ON NEXT SUNDAY

"Six Shooter Andy" is a produc- tion that will appeal to those who enjoy plenty of killing and an abun- dance of gun-pIay. The audience is introduced to this from the very first Right off the bat the girls father Is murdered. Then, when a formal in troduction is given to the town, and in order to show what a terrible place it is, few murders in broad daylight are shown. Nothing is done about little things of this kind, every one seeming to take it as a matter of course. From then on the story shows about fifteen actual killings Whether things that happen are prob able occurrences or not is not the question, the fact remains that those who enjoy this type of entertain ment will find this production to meet with every approval.
 It is typical Western story, lit tie reminiscent of the old-time West ern features, and carrying thrills in every hundred foot of film. It is the quick riding, rapid gunplay, shoot to-kill sore of entertainment that gains it's interest from it's sensation alism. The atmosphere has been carefully maintained until the very end. The direction and photography is all that could be asked for.
 The acting of Tom Mix is pleasint to say the least There is no doubt but that he is well cast. He not only looks the part but acts it as well and his ability of horsemanship cannot be denied. Enid Markey proves a pleasing picture as Susan while Sam De Grasse, as the villain ous sheriff, and Jack Plank, as Cy Gallagher, both do well in their re- spective roles. The balance of the cast is worthy of everp raise.
 "Six Shooter Andy" is sensa' tional melodrama closely bordering on the blood and thunder variety and it will appeal to all lovers of this class of production. It has action and thrills in abundance and will

For a Generation Children Will Con- tinue to Study on a =25 per Cent Efficiency Basis-Tryins
 to Equip Schools.

New York.-Edsic;ttion s$in northern France ceased ill the autumn Of 1914. It cannot recommence until Germany pays the war damages to France. and France subdivides the indemnity into the proportions demanded by each de- pertinent canton and commune for the erection and equipment of schools.
 As Germany is only expected to pay 25,000,00O francs immediately and the rest in twenty years. the most hopeful outlook for French education is one quarter of the prewar force and equip ment within the next two decades.
 In the meantime, says the Brooklyn Eagle, children who ceased to attend school in 1914 are five years in arrears, and for generation will continue to study on % per cent efficiency basis.

"HoME" MEANS LANDLORD AND RENT'

The United States has fought all her wars to preserve the home," and yet probably 60 per cent of her people are tenants. This was the text se- lected the other day by United States Senator William M. Calder of New York in an address before the New York Real Estate associatiOn's conven- ton urging the necessity of a national campaign for the creation of homes. He said:
 "The object of each of our wars has been, in the last analysis, to pre- serve the home. Yet we find that to the majority of people in this country home means little more than a dwell ing for which they are paying rent. What is worse in the situation is that the percentage of these rent payers is growing.
 'sIn 1890 we were advised that 52 per cent of the people in America lived under the rental system, in 1910 that the percentage had increased to 55, and probably the census of 1920 V people will be classed at tenants"

NOT EVEN BEAUTIFUL
Found Smaller Towns of England Were Fruitful Fields for Her Operations-Faked War
 Adventures.

LOndOn.-A rare and picturesque person-an adventures who was not beautiful-has finally brought her nultitudinous and successful ventures Q the attention Of the British police after many years of perfectly safe operation.
 She is known as Masie Crawford, and she found the smaller towns of England all too ready to believe the old dictum that Americans must in evitably be wealthy, for her most sue cessful operations were conducted playing these parts:
 Daughter and heiress of Harry Thaw.
 Wife of George Crawford, American millionaire, whom she divorced in or der to marry his brother.
 Widow of Walter Crawford, the will stipulating that she should mar ry 'Outside the family"
 To Desert at Altar.
 A working man, who was helping the girl obtain the mythical fortune of Walter Crawford, mythical Ameri can millionaire, by agreeing to mar ry her, and leave her at the church door. thus complying with the terms of the will, brought downfall and po- lice investigation.
 As the daughter of Harry Thaw, Masie Crawford had moved through many English towns, finding welcome and easy money from some of the hardest listed folk of the British islands.
 Despite the fact that she is slender, of childish figure, with a slight hump on her back and small features, she was able by brilliant conversational gifts and bearing that spoke ''class" at every minute to win instant belief no matter how fictitious her life" happened to be at the moment.

'1BiIIy Goat Is 0rnery
 Cuss," Says Physician

Santa Ana.-'The billy goat is an ornery cuss." This is the verdict of Dr. w. c. Dubois. after an experience that he doesn't care to repeat.
 The physician was making q professional call in the suburbs and inadyertently left the door of his car open. A billy goat was eating tin cans and Der muda grass nearby; the auto seat looked very inviting. and the. goat entered. ensconsing himself comfortably upon the cushion.
 Having completed his call, the doctor tried to "ShOo" the ami maj out. but it refused to be, shoOed. A grab at one of its hind legs resulted in brief en- counter which was not disaS- trous, but brought the goats horns into play.
 All other means failing. Du- bOis then possessed himself of a long pole and with one mighty heave pushed the obstinate thing from out his car. This done, he had to keep the goat at the end of the pole until he could start the car and make his getaway.

When coumunes are wiped out and buildings asf. non- existent, taxes cannot be levied, and until readjustment of government finances is accomplished there is little prospect of adequate school facilities in the war-wrecked area.
 Motoring one afternoon through the beautiful Aisne valley. where scarlet poppies covered the pock- naked fields and the great war seemed as far away as the Roman wars, workers of the American committee on devastated France heard the faint strains of a poor violin and the high-pit ched voices of children singing the 'Marseilles."
