THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
John A. Darling,
JUNE 7, 1895.
is 1T YoURsf

1t is rare that a musician is a mill
tary man as well. or rather it is rare
that a military man is also good
musician. For John A. Darling was
first of all a military man, tho he
would have been well known for his
musical compositions had his claim to
fame rested solely upon them.
He was born in Maine in 1895, and
educated at the State Military Acad-
envy of Pennsylvania, At the time OF
the civil war he was commissioned a
lieutenant in an artillery company.
He was mentioned several times for
conspicuous bravery. doing field work
under fire, and rose to be a major In
rank. He had charge OF Fort Monro
wniie Jefferson Davis -ssS prisoner
there. Then he was stationed at Al
catraz Island in California, and at the
Presido-the scene of the recent tragic
fire in which our General Pcrshing's
wife and all but one Of his children
were killed.
At his own request Darling was re-
tired in 1897, 50 he took no active part
in the war with Span.
For some curious reason he adopted
the name August Mignon to sign to
his musical compositions. His Ca
Vote Militaire'' shows the influence OF
soldier life upon him. but most Of his
compositions are sweet and rather
sentimental. I'm the Old Church Tow
era Village "Reminiscences" and
"AdrIft," are some OF the best known.

The first half of Daddy Long
Legs" is filled with the doings of the
little parentless children, clad in
stripes, like as many little criminals,
and fed upon soup and prunes. They
are seen at work, and at the ma
chine-like play prescribed for them;
covering before the matron and the
more grabbed of the trustees; always
hungering for the love and atten-
tion which is denied them; occasion
ally, as every child must, acting
naughty"
The most appealing baby types
We're selected to be actors in DADDY
Long Legs" and with Mary Pickford
among them acting the part of a lit
tie girl as only she can, the ever
moving action becomes series OF
the most laughable and touching pic
lures of child life. Marshal Neilan,
who directed the picture, shows him
self a master of the humanly inter-
esting in his handling of his child
actors particularly. .,
One of the most humorous bits Is
that in which Judy and freckle-
faced little boy decide to lead the
orphans in "prune strike" Out
witted by the matron they are driven
into the yard without food. They
find a jug of hard cider and some
sandwiches which, innocently enough
they consume, whereupon they both
become gay. and get into all sorts of
mischief.

Troops Charge Mob and

BIZ Associated Press.

Londonderry, Aug. 16. - Rioting

ing the past night and early this
morning. Troops charged on mobs,
but did not fire any shots. The SOL

stration. The monetary loss from
looting and from damage to prop
erty is estimated at thousands of
pounds by police authorities.
The trouble started when nation

Bricks and stones were hurled at

were finally driven back to their own

Windows were smashed and shops
were looted by the crowds and the

night. More rioting is feared to-
night.

Identify Man Killed
in New York Hotel
as Portland Resident

New York, Aug. 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the murder of a sol
dier in the Hotel McAlpin Thurs
day was only partially dispelled
yesterday when the body was iden-
titled as being that of C. E. Lam
don, a student of the University of
Oregon, whose home was in Port
land. Sergeant Vos, who has just
returned from overseas with Lam
dan and was discharged from the
Army with him on Tuesday, madc
the identification.
The police believe that Landon,
who had $500 in back pay with
him. was lured to the hotel by n
Broadway "floater" who killed him
to get the money from him. This
theory is borne out by the fact that
only twenty-five cents was found IN
Landons clothing.
The weapon with which the mur-
der was committed was found when
bent and bloody candelabra was
removed from beneath one of the
two beds in the room.

Young men who aspire to a high

sode of Nitagraph's new serial.

can, the star. appears as the hero of

as Dick Daring, makes several long
end runs and rushes, in which he
plows through the opposition of vir-

The particular trick that Duncan
reveals, is the trick of the roll"
when he is tackled and thrown. The
player breaks free from his tackler
by rolling the moment he goes down.
Ordinarily, an unframed player stops
in his tracks and comedies a down

All Europe Facing
Disaster in Coal Problem
By Associated Press.

Berlin, Friday, Aug. 10. - That
all Europe is facing disaster in the
coal situation is the common opin-
ion of industrial and shipping leaders
who have been comforting on the
subject here for the last few days.
Walther Fehling of Hamburg, a
shipping expert, in discussing pros
poets of the coming winter so far
as Germany is concerned, declares
the fuel situation will positively
prove a more potent reviver of acute
Bolshevism than food.
THE question is, can the hungry
people stand added privation and
freezing for three or four months?"
He said machine guns may subdue
Bolshevism but they cannot yield
coal"
Experts estimate the shortage in
the German coal output for the next
IL months will be approximately
100,000,000 tons and predict the
United States will be called on to
offset the continental shortage.

Find Mayor of London's
Keys in Yank's Bedding

Boston, Aug. 16. - Two ancient
kevs to the Lord Mayors mansion in
London, recovered at Camp Devens
from the baggage of an American
Army officer. were in the possession OF
the Army Intelligence Department here
to-day. The keys, each about ten
inches in length, were found in the
officers bedding roll. The officer him-
self has not been at Camp Devens and
1t is thought his baggage was sent
there by mistake.
How the keys cafe into his posses
sion was not made known here. Army
officials at the Northeastern Depart
ment declined TO comment upon a re-
port that the keeps had been handed 10
General Pershing on the occasion OF
his visit to London as symbol Oh the
granting of the freedom of the city
and were missing when it came time
for them to be returned to the Lord
Mayor.

Discolored or Spotted
Skin Easily Peeled Off

The freckling, discoloring or
roughening to which most skins are
subject at this season may readily
be gotten rid of. Ordinary mer-
col!zed wax, spread lightly over the
face before retiring and removed in
the morning with soap and water
completely peels off the disfigured
skin. You need not get more than
an ounce of the wax from your
druggist.
There's no more effective way of
banishing tan, freckles, liver spots,
moth patches, or other cutaneous
defects. Minute, almost invisible,
skin particles come off each day, so
the process itself doesn't even tenn
porarily mar the complexion, and
you soon acquire a brand new spot
less, girlishly beautiful face.
