The Craft Of the Ages

When the producers of the remark
able extravaganza, Ali Baba and the
Forty Thieves" which will be shown
lat the Arcade Theatre tonight, con-
ceived the idea Of presenting this
wonderful classic on the screen it
, was decided that every little detail
must be true to the period and that
all settings must be as elaborate and
as substantial as in the days of the
great caliph, Haroun-al Rashid.
1t was fortunate therefore that the
director was able to secure the SER
, vices OF number of Oriental ar
tisans to work on a reproduction of
the ancient Persian city that was to
form the locale of the production.
Persian mechanics learn their trade
from their fathers and the art is
transmitted from father TO son down
through the ages. 1t is therefore
very probable that the ancestors of
these same workmen who built the
city that is shown in the photoplay
assisted in the construction of the
original city of Teheran over thou
sand years ago
The unusual photoplay extrava-
ganza may be said to have some of
! the original caste of which the ro-
J mancers of old Persia wrote when
they compiled that remarkable vol
ume, the Arabian Nights.
"lAli Baba" is said to have been
produced with all the splendor of
the original times and period Among
the properties secured for the pro-
! duction were a number Of rare old
Persian rugs. The history Of one of
these it is claimed, dates back to the
famous monarch Haroun-al-Ras
whose court it adorned. Such a
claim is not unreasonable for it is
we'll known that Oriental carpets and
rugs are preserved with the greatest
care and respect by their owners. The
oldest and best rugs bring fabulous
prices today in all the markets Of the
world.

Camp Fire Notes
Entertainment

Entertainment
 The Camp Fire Girls would like to have it known, how much they appre- ciate the good time given them by Mrs. Little, Mrs. Fitch, Mrs. Baird and Mrs. Barratt, and how grateful they are to Mrs. VanDeusen, MT. Bar ratt and Mrs. Lindell for assisting on these occasions. The last party was given in honor of Miss Edna Barratt on her thirteenth birthday, and, like the previous ones, was the merriest kind of a success. The prize for the conversation game (which consisted of a change of subject and partner every three minutes) was a curious Indian bead and was awarded to Miss Margaret Goggins, who was voted by the other girls to be the most entertaining conversationalist. Miss Mary Sweeney helped herself to the piece of birthday cake contain ing the thimble.
 Liberty Pig
 The Camp Fire Liberty Pig was converted into pork on attaining his one-hundred twenty-fifth pound. As his entire expense to the Camp Fire was sixteen dollars and his selling price fifty-six dollars, the group has realized a profit of two hundred fifty per cent. The girls wish to acknowl- edge MT. Badgley's generosity in giving them his top notch price per pound.
 Red Cross Work
 On last Saturday, was completed the last contribution to the Red Cross, that the girls will be able to make for the present. It consisted of
 5. hoods, 10 bootees, 8 afghans, 10 baby quilts, and 3 complete layettes, Each layette consisted of 3 ribbed shirts, 3 cotton waists, 8 flannel waists, 12 diapers, 2 pairs of bootees, 3 abdominal bands, 2 dresses, ! hood, swaddling blankets, 1 jacket, afghan (knittedD, 1 bag, contain ing: 1 spool of thread, l box of tal- cum powder, cake of soap, wash cloth, roll of linen pieces, 1 thimble, 1 needle book containing 6 needless, 6 large safety pins, medium safe ty pins, 6 small safety pins.
 The money used in purchasing ma terials for these articles was made by the entertainment given under the management of Miss Ruth Fitch and Miss Marion Werner, by the "Tiny Tots".
 Possible Camp Fire in Norfolk
 Four Norfolk ladies who are in terested in starting Camp Fire Or ganization in Norfolk, attended the local meeting on Saturday at Mrs. Borg's. That they might become acquainted with the ceremonial garb, Miss Ruth Fitch and Miss Caro- line Himmel, both Torch Bearers, wore their Indian costumes. Each of the sixteen girls present, in res ponse to her Indian name, told the visitors what particular advantages she enjoyed in belonging to the Camp Fire. The answers, which were thoughtful consisted of sIch ideas as

Buzzing Over Washington.

Washington is up to date in the mat
ter of avistion service. It now has a
sightseeing aerial bus making daily
flights from a station over in Virginia
along a route of about sixteen miles.
In time doubtless there will be numer-
GUS "rubberneck" airplanes. At pres
ent the rates are not such as to bring
this experience within the range of the
average tourist. Sightseeing from the
air must remain as luxury, but the
time win probably come when no trip
to Washington will be complete with
out q buzz over the capital for a birds
eye view Of the American political
center. Washington has certain ad-
vantages for this kind Of inspection.
It's "1ayout" is strongly marked, with
the rivers and parks and detached pub
lie buildings. Those who have made
the trip over town aver that it is one
Of the most interesting experiences
they ever had. The dangers attendant
upon passenger flights are so slight
nowadays that one is practically as
safe in an airplane as in an automo.

would prefer the plane to the motor

captains Of industry and labor leaders
are exchanging views. Surely we may
expect a remedy from sources % well
qualified to diagnose the complaint.
Meanwhile, rhetoricians and agita-
tors should trim their vocabularies and
put themselves under restraint. For
an instance, Arthur Henderson, Brit
ish labor leader, speaking yesterday
at an international socialist confer
ence in session at Lucerne, Switzer-
land, predicted an early "spasm Of
rage and despair among the peoples
Of Europe in which the final remains
Of civilization may be totally an
initiated"
Europe's plight is much worse than
ours, but not so desperate as Mr.. Hen
derson represents. Civilization is not
on the point of extinction anywhere.
The destruction of life and property
has been enormous. But history
shows distinctions almost as great
without the loss of civilization.
Let all superlatives be cut out. Let
peace terms be used for peace times,
aud particularly let everybody be en-
couraged to believe that great as pres
ent distresses are they can and will

In connection with the demands for
higher railroad wages, representatives
of labor are urging upon Congress q
project Of public ownership Of the
rail lines known as the ~Plumb plan"
This plan, so-called because it was
conceived by Glenn E. Plumb, general
counsel for the Organized Railway
Employees Of America, proposes the
purchase Of the railroads by the gov
eminent through an exchange Of gov
eminent bonds for securities now held
by investors, the value Of the roads
to be determined by the courts. An
operating corporation is to be formed,
composed Of five men representing the
public to be named by the President,
five elected by the operating officers
and five by the classified employees.
The roads are to be consolidated into

der the control of boards consisting
Of men named by the national board
Of control, the operating officers and
the classified employees. Each year
after operating expenses Of pay and
fixed charges are met, including in

be divided equally between the gov
eminent and the men. The employees
portion is to be divided between the
managerial and classified employees,
the former receiving double the rate
