a rule, light gay parts. but she is

her profession and constantly studies
how to advance.
| Pearl White, queen of the serial
heroines, recently stepped out OF her
usual sort of role long enough TO
appear in king Coal" a special fea-
ture made by Pathe for the United

said to be the first government propa-
ganda film which has been made for
the government in peace times.

coming World production, based on "A
Scrap of Paper" originally maga-
zine story, which has already had two
successful seasons on the stage. The
cast is to include Montagu Love, Car

. stronger every day as she works out
of doors in the California sunshine at
Lois Weber's studio, Anita Stewart is
/ as happy as a lark. She has taken a
nice little bungalow surrounded by red
geraniums and roses, and she drives
her own car to and from the studio.
| Something else is making her even
happier however. Her husband, Ru-
dolph Cameron, is being released from
service in the United States army and
will join her here.
Alice Brady is a mighty busy girl
these days. Any one else would
think that playing six nights and
two matinees a week before the
J ifootlights in Forever After" and

afternoons a week before the cam

young woman out of mischief. Blu,
not Alice! She still finds ODD
moments to sneak into the kitchen
and stir up contentions-and rare
bits-in the pots and pans.
A perfect chapter of accidents

ALL WANT "POLLYANNA." "

There has probably been a great
er demand for the motion picture
rights of "Pollyanna" than for any
other modern play with the single
exception of Peg o My Heart
Neither play has yet been released
for the movies, 'Pollyanna" being
still popular enough to warrant the

Looking shoreward, our attention was instantly arrested by a great cloud of dust rapidly ap- preaching from the southeast, while and before our astonished eyes the hills seemed to nod, and tn ground swayed like the short, choppy waves of a troubled sea.

Additional anchors were let go hatches battened down guns secured. life lines rove fore and aft, and for a few minutes all was the orderly confusion of a well ll-disciplined man. of-war preparing for action. Many hands made short work, and in a few moments we were prepared for any emergency.
 But our troubles then commenced. We were startled by a terrible noise on shore, as of tremendous roar of mus lletry, lasting several minutes. Aga:n the trembling earth waved to and ceded until the shipping was left stranded, while as far to seaward as our vision could reach, we saw the rocky bottom of the sea, never be- fore exposed to human gaze with struggling fish and monsters of the deep left high and dry. The round bottomed ships keeled over on their beam ends, while the .'Wateree' rested easily On- her floor like bottom, and when the returning sea, not like wave, but rather an enormous tide, came sweeping back, rolling our un- fortunate companion ships over and over. leaving some bottom up and oth- CTS masses of wreckage. the 'Wateree' rose easily over the tossing waters, harmed.
 From this moment the sea seemed to defy the laws of nature, Currents ran in contrary directions and we were borne here and there with speed we could not have equaled had we been steaming for our lives. At irregular intervals the earthquake shocks recurred. but none of them so violent or long continued as the first.

FIVE HoURs AND COAL

President Wilson's plea that this is no time to attempt cure of the high cost of living by the remedy of in- creased wages has evidently fallen up- on deaf ears as far as the mine work CTS are concerned. At their conven- tion in Cleveland they have an- nounced their intention of demanding wage increases and shorter hours
 It is freely predicted that their wage demands may even run to 100 per cent. and there will be.a declara- ton for thirty hour week. meaning five working days of six hours each.
 Such a declaration. according to prediction, will be sent to Buffalo where the convention is to be followed by conference later in the month. It is to be supplemented By the recom- mendation that. if necessary, what is termed a continent wide strike be called. There is in the advance guard already assembled sentiment against making the demands to be filed too exacting. but it finds com parativeIy mild expression.
 Prices of coal. 1t will be generally greed, are factors in the high cost of living, and coal prices can not be disassociated with cost of production. How the mine workers propose to re- duce the high cost of living by add ing to coal prices through a 30-hour working week is certainly a relevant question.
