B|G FEATURE WEEK PLANNED FUR HI;
 MANY STARS BILLED

The Hip also announces it's Para mount-Artcraft week, and it's bookings will convince anyone of the high standard of excellence. of the produc- tions to be shown at that popular house during the week of the drive for better pictures. ,inaugurated by that great producing concern.
 The first two days of the week. Sunday and Monday belong to Bry ant Washburn. Washburn is acknowl- edged one of the most dashing and handsome of the male stars of the screen. His work has been consistent ly good ever since he cast his lot with the picture game, and it is only fair to say that each picture shows to bet ter advantage than it's predecessor This is the real mark of credit. It was Bryant Washburn, it will be remem- bered who made "Skinner's Dress Suit"-and what a sensation it caused. It was also Bryant Washburn who made Till Come Back to You" Cecil B. DeMille's wonderful success based on Jeanie Macpherson's great story of the same name. Then it was Bryant Washburn who "mopped up" with Wallace Irwin's Venus in the East" Now he comes in Putting it Over" and Washburn certainly knows how to put over role such as has been given him in this cleverly constructed story. He appears as young soda water man in a drug store, in love with a pretty girl, to whom. to win her ad- miration, he represents himself as re- ceiving a salary of fifty dollars a week. Easing her future safety on his com fortable salary, the girl accepts his proposal of marriage, and if you think that ten dollar a week soda man didn't have to do sonic tall figuring to make his salary grow from a ten spot to half century you're mighty badly mistaken. But with the ready wit of the native American. this hustling wide awake boy makes the grade, and gives his boss great business build ing idea which the boss finds the goods" and is tickeTed to pay the erst- while soda jerk" the needed fifty per week. It's fast moving story of sparkling incidents which Bryant Washburn handles in his own inimi table way
 This program gives way on Tuesday to the little girl who makes them all sit up and take notice, for her com edy is not equa1led by any actress on the screen It wouldn't take much of guess to figure that Dorothy Gish is the girl She brings her Paramount picture, Nobody Home Sounds like Dorothy Gish. doesn't it-and when the announcement is made that the picture is along the same lines as the never to be forgotten Battling Jane. = "Tbe Hope Ghests, Hoots."

VIVIAN MARTIN TO
 BE 1T HE LAMARA
 TODAY AND MONDAY

Aircraft week at the La mara will mean the showing of per- haps the greatest line up of features ever crowded into a single seven days in the history of that popular Wash ington street playhouse.
 To begin the week, Vivian Martin, known to her thousands of ardent ad- mirars throughout the nation as ssfhe sweetest girl in pictures, will hold the screen for Sunday and Monday. Her picture this time is Paramount's clever vehicle. An Innocent Adventures.
 All the quaint personality of unso- phisticated girlhood made famous on tle screen by Vivian Martin, is brought into play in this her latest success. That intangible something, her capti- vating sweetness, the infectious smile. the cute mannerisms, the sincere DOT trayal of character study the deep sympathy that comes of perfect un- redstanding of the girlhood of America, all are evident throughout the entire unfolding of the refreshing nature of tae plot of An Innocent Adventures" The entire theme is built around the aig-hearted endeavor on the part of the girl to help a poor family in dire distress. and of the sad plight in which she finds herself. as she is accused of being a thief. Her lack of knowledge of the ways of the world make her m easy prey for the designing ones who would shift responsibility to her. but friend in need proves the res suing angel, and all ends happily. but not until most brilliant story Of honest self-sacrifice has been divulged. In the same program. Eddie Polo will ,ffer one of the fast moving western stories. based on the Cyclone Smith, Adventure tales. This one is 'The Wild Rider.

on which the report is based, and
facts were secured about all the
families into which babies had been
born during the two years previous
to the study. In the northern
county-the Old World county-453

about 80 per cent of the parents in
these families were foreign born,
more than half were native born, of
foreign parentage, who had retained
the customs and often the language
of their European ancestors.

Ideas concerning the care a
mother should have differed greatly
IN the two counties. But even in the
southern county, according to the re-
port, the standard Of maternity care
cannot be considered worthy of
American ideals. Although SO per
cent Of the mothers, as compared
with 10 per cent in the northern
county, had consulted their physi-
clans during the months before their
babies came. none Of them had what

Lectures

Twenty volunteer teachers conduct
these classes. According to each in
dividual capacity to instruct, the at
tending mother gains more than a
mere knowledge Of properly spoken
English-she is told of American in
situations, Of American ideals and,
what would seem the most fitting Of
all subjects, the Constitution. But
the knowledge Of good English Is
absolutely prerequisite to an intelli-
gent and practical understanding of
the fundamentals Of "civics." So
the former is stressed until the
mother is far enough advanced to
grasp the meaning of the latter.

But Mrs. Frederick SchofY, presi-

the Congress of Mothers and the
Parent Teacher Organizations, who
could not attend in person but sent
her paper, declared that the foreign
born man needs to be thoroughly
Americanized before the foreign
horn woman can become so.
Zone Of the greatest obstacles In
our efforts to reach the foreign
born woman has been the foreign
born mans antagonism to her TAX
ing part in the community hfe,"
read Mrs. Shoff's message.
"If the Americanization move
ment would only help the foreign

to the extent that he will encourage
his wife to attend club meetings

work will be half done I know Of
no better effort the Bureau of Edu-

to the attitude ( tho men in he,

"This fact was very clearly i'm.

Club or 'Mothers' Club Instead
OF creating an entirely new body,
such organizations as exist could
and should be utilized; there may
be clubs, some cooperative associa-
ton or benefit society, or, of
course, there may be no organiza-
ton at all and every detail may
have to be initiated.
The Home
Teacher
ut would seem advisable for our
high schools, normal schools and COL
leges specifically to train their I'M
migrant girl students to become
home teachers in the colonies of
their respective nationalities. Their
duty would be to visit the immigrant
homes, talk with the mothers. tell
them how to rear their children,
how to care for the family health,
how to prepare meals, how to work
in the home garden, how to can and
preserve, and they should organize
among them recreation facilities,
reading circles, amateur theatricals,
choruses, etc. The home teacher
should be attached to the teaching
staff Of the local public school,"
Another Slavic speaker was AL
bert Mamaty, of Pittsburgh, presi-
dent of the Slavic League of Amer
lea. He said:
1.-THE foreign woman has been
until lately an almost entirely neg
lected factor in the American civil
ization. In most places her con-
dition is unnoted, no provision is
made for her instruction, the
thought of citizenship is seldom or
never associated with her, and she
receives hardly any consideration In
the development of American COM
munities.
