JACK HOLTFS NEVER
 OUT OF LUCK

Speaking of actors being out of luck, there's Jack Holt who never is. It's a sure thing that he must carry a rabbits foot, for he dOvetails so nicely that one wonders why 1t Is that he's neither overlapping or hay ing a few days of freedom. All of which goes to show that Jack is a very conscientious actor and attends strictly to business.
 In connection with that I must tell you about the new, strict rules our a time when Theda Bara arrived at 8 P. NJ. and kept a director with few hundred extras waiting. Again, many of our stars have arrived al 10 A. II. when ordered on the lot at S:30. Henceforth, We are to have the docking system and the star will be punished for the losses occasion ed by her gadding by night and her sleeping in the sunshiny mornings needed to complete @ picture. In two recent changes of stars, the public believes that everything ran beauri- fully. whereas the real fact is that the management simply "canned' the player because of continued tar diness, in defiance of the written contract. Efficiency is creeping in at Iast-eScuses are taboo-and exhibl- minimizing of expenses. This tenn peramentaI stuff has to go!" said one big producer.

IMPORTANT TO PATRONS

II Is extremely difficult for newspa-
uer publishers to give the layman an
understanding OF what does and does
not constitute news and there is ap-
parently some misunderstanding In re-
gard to this matter among patrons OF
the Evening Capital.
Lawyers, doctors. and other profes-
sional workers have their code OF
ethics and draw the lines rigidly
against a breach of them. The estab-
Hshment OF similar arbitrary lines is
impossible in newspaper work and IL
is therefore impossible to publish set
of rules for the guidance of the public
because of the many complex phases
of newspaper publishing. The best
that can be done is to establish some
fundamental rules as matter OF SIM
ple business procedure, abide by them
and allow other problems to be dealt
with by the publishers as they arise.
To avoid some of the misunderstand-
ing that seems to exist in some quar-
ters The Evening Capital therefore
announces the following policy relative
to free advertising:
Announcement of events at which an
admission is charged, or where articles
are offered for sale, or which are held
for the purpose of private or associa-
ton gain. will be charged for at regu-
lar advertising rates.
Where the event has for its object
a strictly charitable, benevolent or pa
triotic purpose the regular charge for
announcement of it will be made but
the event will receive suitable news OF
editorial support. according to it's i'm
portance. This special privilege will
not apply to benefit performances OF
sales OF any kind where the entire pro-
ceeds are not given to charity or pa
triotic uses.
Events of the character mentioned
which appear, in the discretion of The
Evening Capital, to have news value
will be given due publicity in the news
columns from copy prepared in the
Evening Capital Office. II news men
ton is made of any event in more than
one issue of the Capital it will be en-
tirely at the discretion of this Office
and will be dependent wholly upon its
apparent news value.
These regulations are adopted to
prevent the possible abuse of priv.
leges extended to patrons and in the
belief that the public. and Evening
Capital patrons in particular, will be
better served. Evening Capital pa.
irons are asked to cooperate in this
by not asking to have special priv
leges extended

BOY SCOUT INFLUENCE

In a newspaper letter, the other day,
several prominent citizens of Boston,
writing to help on the campaign for
funds now needed by the Boy Scout
organization, mentioned one important
phase of that movement that seems to
have attracted little attention. 1T not
only stimulates properly the boys en-
listed in its ranks" says the letter,
land so sets good fashions for all boys,
but il leads the parents and friends of
the Scouts to perceive how greatly
their interests are cared for by the
community" In other words, and
aside from all the good the movement
visibly does in training boys in whole

ing, these gentlemen see the influence
which Scouts unconsciously exercise
in their homes a valuable aid to the
promotion of the right feeling between

short, is national asset in that it sets

SURPRISE MEETING
WITH FATHER GREETS
RETURNING SAILOR

The proverbs have it that Its a
wise son that knows his own father"
but the case might be reversed by an
incident that occurred one day the
early part of the week, for it was a
wise father that recognized his own
son at Academy Junction.
The lad in question had journeyed
some fourteen hundred miles from a
southern seaport, and had not been
home for a year and half. When he
reached Naval Academy Junction on
the W.. b. & A., having come over
from Washington, what was his sur
prise to see his father waiting for an
Annapolis car. The boys first inclina-
ton was to rush TO his father and en-
brace him, as he is still youngster
in his teens, but. realizing an absence
of eighteen or nineteen months makes
a great difference in a growing youth,
waited to see if his father would recog-
nize him. Walking slowly past and
pretending not to see pater familias.
the boy watched his father out of the
corner of his eye. AT first the older
man was in doubt, then he came nearer
and began to scrutinize the lad in
sailors uniform. who had grown a few
inches taller and several lateraliy
This time father was sure and. re-
gardless of the people standing round
the station, he exclaimed, my boy, my
son" at the same time embracing the
lad who had grown much taller and
broader than his father
The incident was Witnessed by sew
eral and the women in the waiting
party for the coming Annapolis car
at Academy Junction were seen to
brush away tear. The boys father
was heard to inquire, why didn't you
wire usg' oh" said the lad in sail
or's clothes. Il wanted to surprise you
and mother"
As the two sat together and talked
on the way to Annapolis on the car.

the splendid treatment of the Red
Cross women waiting to hand the
sailors and soldiers hot coffee and
sandwiches. and sometimes candy.

warm in his praises of the Red Cross.
and of the naval officers under whom

me TO the service, and what we give,
