Mr.. Johnston had to have another
pair of glasses The only available
man with a pair of glasses was the
proprietor of a saloon in the town
where the picture was being filmed.
But Mr.. Saloon Proprietor was loath
to part with his glasses. When he
was told they were to bbe used on an
American diplomatic officer, however,
he relented. He said that he would
never allow any one impersonating a
German to use his glasses. "The Ca

FAIR SUFFRAGETTE WANTS
TO VOTE FOR KEENAN, AS
PRESIDENT OF THE u. S

A New York maiden, anxious to use
her recently acquired vote on the
presidential election, has written to
Pathe Exchange, Inc, inquiring why
Frank Keenan, doesn't run for Presi.
dent of the United States.
'Not that l want to displace our
own Woodrow Wilson," she says, "but
I think he deserves vacation, and l
can't think of anyone who could fill
the presidential bill any better than
Frank keenan,, can you?
'Look at him! Hasn't he an iron
jaw? A kindly eye? A noble brow?
An alert brain? And dignified-look
at his gray hair! Think of how
spifty he'd look in q frock coat and
silk hat bowling to cheering crowds
on Fifth avenue!
Cant he crate? Isn't he making
everyone who has heard him at all
those personal appearances he has
been making in theaters and at con-
ventions, ETC., wonder why he sticks
to the silent drama?
"He wouldn't be lost to the screen
as one of its biggest stars, either.
Every time go to the theater | see
President Wilson, but, as just a NOV
ing picture actor, l don't see Frank
Keenan, every time. Perhaps, because
of his connection with you, he would
pose exclusively for Pathe News
weeklies every time he ate at Childs'
or went to the circus, thereby turn
ing all other screen newspapers a pas
sionate purple of envy.
"Now, truly, Mister Pathe, Inc,
don't you believe that as President of
these United States this actor would
be as successful as our Secretaries
and Senators are as actors? Mine is
the first vote opposite Yes. Sigh
here!"
Miss New York's proposed candi-
date for President will appear at the
Nogales Theater tomorrow in his new
est Pathe picture, "The False Code"
1t is typical Frank keenan, picture,
written by Mrs. Kate Corbaley, and
directed by Ernest C. Warde.

THIRTY" STUFF

When a motion picture director
wants the cameraman to stop the
camera he says "Cut!"
Lynn F. Reynolds, who directed "a
Little Brother of the Rich," to be
shown today at the Nogales Theater,
varies the rule and says $50" when he
thinks that the camera has turned
enough for the moment.
Reynolds reason for the popularity
goes back to the days when he was a
cub reporter on a Denver newspaper.
In the parlance of the daily journals
the expression "30" means that the
days or the nights work is done.
The telegraph operator gets the flash

for "all-over." The city editor calls

MR.. WHITLOCK's DOUBLE

In the taking of a scene of "The
Cavell Case" the story of Edith Ca
veil, the British Red Cross nurse,
whose shooting by the Germans
aroused the whole civilized world,
Mr.. ]. w. Johnston broke his glasses.
Mr.. Johnston takes the role of Brand
Whitlock, U. S. Minister to Belgium,
and it was necessary for him-to wear
glasses to correctly impersonate Mr..
Whitlock. There is a remarkable re-
semblance between Mr.. Johnston and
Mr.. Whitlock and when the former
wears glasses there is very little doubt
that the U. S. Minister to Belgium is
not really on the screen.

farm was worth approximately that amount
Plenty Of farmers all over the country are
making more and they are not all Of them
operating land by the section, either. Just the
same $1,000 il $1,000 and not to be sneezed
at among salaried folk.
The point Is that there has been great
awakening in this county in regard to the
value Of business methods as applied to agri-
culture. Farmers have learned many truths
that they hardly suspected . few years ago.
They know now how to work together and that
it pays to do 50, They have found out that q
county agent can easily save them the cost Of
Ills salary on one item alone and in the course
Of year the account is overwhelmingly on

thing for the members and for the county, and
its possibilities have not been exhausted eth

II the senate finally takes such action as
will amount to rejection of the treaty in its
present form It will do so in the face Of full
knowledge - to what other powers with which
We have been associated think Of our action.
From both English and French sources it has
been broadly intimated that the clause forcing
them to give assent to our interpretations will
not be acceptable.
Speaking in the house Of commons at Lon
don yesterday Lord Robert Cecil referred with
feeling to the seriousness Of the situation. He
did not question the right Of the senate from
the American standpoint to take such action
a. the majority seems disposed to take. but
he stated that reservations already provision
ally adopted amount almost to reputation Of
the covenant Of the League Of Nations and that
means reputation Of the treaty with Germany.
AT best" he continued, nothing Is to be
expected but long period Of negotiations and
the possibility Of further rejection when the
negotiations are concluded We desire Amerf-
can cooperation and American leading. but II
the United States decides not to share in the
great international effort We must 60 on. and
the burden will be the greater upon us and the
other nations"
From the attitude the president takes It is
probable that the other powers never will be
called upon to formally reject the American
Interpretation. Rather than put them in that
position the president will withdraw the treaty
and the United States will remain out, making
such . settlement with the central powers as
the senate in its wisdom is able later to secure.
This country has great deal to lose in
return for what the senate thinks It can gain
by its reservations

Poor Results.

Congress has about finished for this session.
The house will undertake no moro business and
the senate is rushing the treaty through to get
It OF its hands before the next session. which
convenes the first Monday in December.
For six months both houses have been in
session and very little useful legislation has
been enacted In fact. matters, stand pratty
much a. they did in March and April, when
there was such clamor on tho part Of mem
bers for the president to call an extra session.
r Some amendments to the food control bill
were adopted after months Of delay and after
the president had strongly urged them.
It took six months Of consideration in COM
mittee to get the railroad control bill framed
up and prospect Of firSl enactment ut this ses-
sion is not particularly bright. In fact the
country will be lucky If any action Of legis-
lative character is taken on the subject before
the first Of the year when 1t is the intention Of
the administration to turn the roads back to
the private owners.
Investigation of the manner in which war
expenditures were made has taken up much
attention and is still in progress. The econo-
my program fell down. The total appropria-
tons for the current fiscal year are approx
mately seven and one-quarter billions Of dol
lars. Departmental appropriations. such as
army, navy. Indian. sundry civil and others,
were passed by the present congress almost
identcally as they passed the house in the last

nciency BILL
On the whole the session has been pretty
much Of failure especially after the record

Dear Mrs. Thompson: There Is q
16-year-old girl who lives in this
neighborhood who IL continually
throwing herself in the way Of mar
ried men. She writes them vile
notes and tries to attract their at
tention in every way. She even
goes to their homes after them and
tells people that they are crazy
about her.
She came and told me a lot about
my husband, but he told her to her
face that she had lied. I forgave
him. Should I have done this or
should l have left him and got q
divorce?
I ordered her never to step in my
house again. Did do right, or
should I have put ,her in care of
the juvenile court? She has been
going out with boys since she was
- years old. Her mother left home
four years ago and her father. will
mot do anything with her, although
he knows all. ANXIOUS.
The poor little girl needs love.
At the most dangerous age in her
life her mother left home and she
has had to learn Mfe's secrets with
out guidance. Naturally she put
the wrong Interpretation on many
things, and now she is running her
life because no one takes enough
interest in her to show her a bet
ter way.
The girl does not need preaching
or advice. She needs love and
wholesome friends. If a few Of the
injured wives got together and re-
solved to bring a little Joy into her
life they could do q great deal. She
should have a glimpse OF the home
life in q respectable family.
This is your opportunity to do
some real good and to bring into
practice true Christianity.
You were right in forgiving your
husband, but should not have re-
fused the girl admittance to your
home.
