man, people didn't exactly like to go
to church, and he found shortly that
his collection was becoming smaller
and smaller. But down in the front
row every Sunday morning. every
Friday at prayer meeting he never
failed to see the face of the daugh-
ter OF the richest man in town" She
seemed to be fighting right along
with him in every way possible.
Then Bert decided when he saw a
gang of young boys hanging around
the town pool room that they needed
a boys club, but when he asked the
town folks for aid in putting the
boys club drive over they were not
with him, so Bert decided that he
would open a grocery store and earn
the money.
Then he found that it pays TO ad-
vertise, and he soon had the crowds
away from the richest man in
towns" store. With the aid of the
boys he nearly succeeded in putting
this fellow out of business, but ev-
erything came out all right after

ROMANCE OF FAR WEST
ON CRANDALL,S BILL

The picturesqueness and romance OF
life in the far West before the domi-
nance of the law, an unsurpassed
quality OF photography, and the indi-
vidual and ensemble strength Of a cast
that has had few equals in pictured
drama combine to make when a
Woman Strikes" the feature Of the
bill for the first three days Of this
week at Crandalls Theater, one Of
the most noteworthy melodramatic
offerings of the season.
when a Woman Strikes" visualizes
the tense story of q bitter rivalry
between "Quick" Benton and shady
the bad man, for the favor OF. Lassie
Doone, left an orphan among the
rough characters of a Western gam
bling town by the death of her father.
The manner in which Quick" whose
nomenclature was derived from his
dexterity in the manipulation Of a
brace of deadly shooting irons. not
only protected the welfare of the girl
against the trickery Of shady and
his consort, Marquita, OF the dance
halls, but also saved the life of the
girls brother, unjustly accused of
murder, constitutes the chief source
of motivation for one of the most
vivid Aim dramas ever screened.
Ben Wilson and Murdoch McQuar-
rie, Neva Gerber and Rosemary Theby
are the principal players.

At The Resorts
GLEN ECHO PARK.

Among the thousands who paid a
little visit to Glen Echo Park yester-
day were many who had their first
glimpse OF the charms the resort has
for pleasure seekers in midsummer.
They found its huge shade trees and
cool breezes a pleasing transition
from the sweltering heat Of the city
and separated from it only by short
car ride that in itself can be recon-
mended as a successful "cooling-Off'
process.
Cello and his band presented a Sc
ries of concerts during the afternoon
and evening.
While the big crowd gave the me-
chanical fun providers something that
resembled a rest during the concerts,
between times there was a steady
rush for some OF the favorites. The
Derby and gravity were in keenest
demand. but there were also crowds
about the whip, rifle range, and other
fun providers.
Tonight and the rest Of the week
dancing in the big open pavilion to
music by Mills Orchestra will be
added to the program. No charge for
admission TO the grounds is made.

an interest in him. he was placed in
command Of the office by the appoint

Then the work that Captain

the "N-plain s. use telegraph" told
him how TO proceed. II hesitated

He was caught in the act by the
chief OF the Confederate secret serV-

Miss Talmadge has never had
more thoroughly congenial role than
that of Barbara Townsend, the dis

lesser half of a mistaken notion Of
marital obligation by shrewdly per
hitting him to have his way. SO
obnoxious was the henpecking OF the

trustful tolerance of his bride that
he was exceedingly grateful for the
opportunity to remarry the gentle
