World" hunted long time before they
found just the right young woman for
the pant of Sibyl Andres. Scores were
looked over critically and the search
extended clear across the country to
the most eastern field of the motion
picture industry.
When Miss Novak was picked it was
not because of her beauty, but because
she answered infinitely to the descrip-
tion of Sibyl by the author. Mr..
Wright, who assisted in the filming
of his book, said this young woman
was precisely the kind of girl he
imagined when he wrote the tale of
California love and adventure which
has reached sale of over 100000
copies. s.

Jane Novak is admittedly one of the
most beautiful women in the realm OF
the film. She doesn't have to be star
red to attract attention, or base
drummed or press-agented.
Nobody is starred in "The Eyes of
the World although the cast Of the
great multiple1reel production of Har-
old Bell Wright's story was carefully
selected for type and ability, but that
will not prevent Miss Novak shining
as a real beauty when Clune's "The
Eyes of the World" has its first local
presentation at the Plaza Theatre on
Thursday, June 26th.

OPINION OF EXPERT
What the Battery Does Is OF Con
siderable Importance.

"A good many things of utmost
importance are constantly going on
inside the box of every automobile
starting and lighting battery" says
the local Willard Battery expert,
yet it is very seldom that any of
US has an opportunity of watching
these changes as they take place.
THE whole process is shown in an
unusual way in a demonstration given
at the technical school conducted by
the Willard Storage Battery-' Com
pany. At this school, number of
cells are assembled in glass jars in.
place of the regular rubber jars and
are charged and discharged under
conditions which closely approximate
the condition Of actual service.
"To show what happens to these
cells when impure water Is used,
several foreign substances are
dropped into the various batteries.
To one nitric acid is added; into
another a little sal ammoniac is
dropped: little hydrochloric acid is
put in the third All the results are
carefully noted by students. In this
way the Willard service station ex-
perts who attend the school are en-
abled TO tell at glance not only
when impure water is used in a bat
terry, but exactly what sort Of i'm
purity is interfering with the proper
work of the cell. adv.

PRESIDENT BACK
AT WHITE HOUSE
Although Apparently Much Improved,
Wilson has Cancelled all Engage.

IHVitSs
Washington Sept 2S.-President
! Wilson returned to Washington today
ON his interrupted tour for the peace
| treaty. He was able 10 walk through
the railway station from his special
train 10 White House automobile,
and was taken at once to the White
House. where ii was said there was
little change in his condition.
President Wilson returned TO Wash
inston today, to all outward appear
ances on the road to recovery from
the nervous exhaustion which inter-
rupted his speaking trip for the peace
treaty.
Leaving his bed virtually for the
first time since his special train start
ed homeward Friday from Wichita,
Kans., the President walked unsup-
ported and smiling through the rail
way station to waiting automobile
and later in the day took a two-hours
motor ride through Rock Creek park.
DR.. Grayson, the Presidents per-
dition was as good as could be eX-
pected, though a period Of rest from
official cares would be absolutely cs-
sential to complete recovery. The
afternoon ride was prescribed to give
Mr.. Wilson some fresh air after two
and a half days of continuous confine-
ment on the train.
Although he walked with an ag-
gressive swing as he passed through
the railway station, the President was
feeling some weakness, DR.. Grayson
said, from a bad nights rest while his
special train was racing eastward.
Tonight he retired early after dinner
with his family at the White House
and Dr.. Grayson was hopeful Of re"
freshing sleep.
All of Mr.. Wilson's engagements
for the near future have been can
celled. and his physician will insist
upon real vacation. No definite de-
cision has been reached whether he
will remain in seclusion at the White
House or go to some rest resort, but
the indications were that the Presi-
dent would not leave the capital soon
After run Of nearly 10000 miles,
the presidential special reached Wash
ington at 1905 this morning. Await
ing Mr. and Mrs. Wilson when they
alighted from their private car was
Miss Margaret Wilson, the President S
daughter. Outside the station he en-
couutercd the last Of the many crowds
that greeted him on his twcnty-five-
day tour, and he was cheered as he
walked through the station concourse.
Helping Mrs. Wilson and Miss Mar
garet into tie automobile, the Presi-
dent climbed in beside them unas-
sisted. During the afternoon ride he
was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and
Dr. Grayson, who had shared the tack
of caring for the President during his
illness aboard the train.
The only formal expression from DR..
Grayson during the day was bull
letin issued just before the train ar
rived in Washington. 1t said:
"The President had poor nights
rest but he is doing as we'll as could
be expected in the circumstances"
