repeated tonight for the last time, with highly successful results! This is an absorbing story written by Frances Marion, the famous screen author, and directed by George Mel ford. If a most hearty reception is any criterion, this is perhaps, one of the best vehicles in which this sterling Japanese star has thus far appeared.
 The story deals with Jang Lung, a young Chincse-American, born of a white mother and a Chinese father, who is sent to a University to be cd ucated. When a child he is taken from his mother by his ambitious father, and under the shock, the | mind of the mother gives way, and in succeeding years she nurses a doll
 under the impression that it is her
 own child.
 Jang is reared in ignorance of his
 white blood and, at a party in the
 east, he meets Marcell Mathews, the
 daughter of a wealthy silk merchant
 and instantly falls in love with her
 She is fascinated by his Oriental
 manners, and for time believes
 that she reciprocates his passion
 Returning to San Francisco, Jang at
 tends ball, given in honor of the Chinese Ambassador, and here again he meets Marcell, to whom he now declares his love. He takes her in his arms and is observed by Mar cells cousin, a man who is mortified at the thought of his cousin wedding Chinese. He takes her through the Chinese quarter, and after she has seen it in all it's loathsome as poets, her feelings undergo com plete change, and she repudiates Jang. In revenge for her course, Jang discards his Americanism, dons Cain. csc clothes and becomes thorough Oriental

MISS MlNTER LIVES IN
 REALM OF MAKE BELIEVE WHEN SHE'S AT WORK.

Mary Miles Minter, the charming little motion picture ingenue, whose friends are counted by the million, says that all picture plays in which she is featured are really and truly fairy tales to her-that she never for moment loses the fairyland aspect of her profession.
 Miss Minter, who is starred in a new American Mutual production, ''The Mate of the Sally Ann,' said in an interview a few days ago that she regards herself as regular fem mine Jekyl and Hyde, whereupon everybody laughed hilariously because Mary was looking her prettiest in a summery, girly gown with white kid slippers.

Miss Carmen and gives her every op- portunity to show not only her ex- treme beauty but her great talents as an actress. Jewel Garments career as a star has been comparatively brief but she has gained a remark able reputation during that time Confession" is thrilling drama of sciety life. All the trouble in it is caused by the loss of the brides wedding ring.
 It is a play that no one who loves high class pictures should miss. Miss Carmen as Usual, is delightful.

"THAiS" WAS WRITTEN
 IN MARY GARDENS PALM,

Mary Garden consulted a clairvoy- ant to learn what un'1 awaited her in the realm of motior pictures just before leaving Paris to make her first screen play, "Thais," for Gold wyn Pictures Corporation which will be shown at the Palace Tuesday
 This is quite in line with Miss Gar den's usual superstitious practice. Those who know her intimately are well aware of the fact that the prima donna consults a soothsayer before undertaking each new opcratic role.
 The clairvoyant she consults when in Paris is a woman who numbers among her clients many of the not able figures in French political and professional life.

COUSIN BRU1N EATS HONEY.

When Aunt Matilda Ursus had
pushed those little cubs ahead Of her

sight. Cousin Bruin- and his little
friend came to the hollow tree.
Cousin Bruin had a fine appetite, for
he had seen Aunt Matilda and her
little cubs eating that sweet honey,
and he felt hat he would die if he
didn't have some too.
So he thrust his great paw into
that hollow tree and drew it forth
dripping with honey. and Cousin
Bruin wasn't very particular and any
one could see that he ate many bees
with their honey. You would have
been astonished IL you could have seen
those angry bees swarming around
Cousin Bruins head
There seemed to be thousands or
millions Of angry bees. Teddy Pos
sum and Jimmy Coon ate little pieces
of honey comb that dropped from,
Cousin Bruins paws, but as some
of those angry bees settled Of JIM
my Coon's nose, he ran to the brook
and stuck his poor nose in the mud.
Teddy Postum had his tail stuns
for the mud cure. Jimmy Coon had
to make a little mud plaster and tie
1t on Teddy's tail.
II don't care so much about honey
this time of the year." said Jimmy
Coon, ut doesn't seem to agree with

Bruin gorging himself with sweet

Time after time Cousin Bruin put
his huge paws into that nest Of the
honey bees, and he didn't stop until
there was not. a bite Of honey left.
The way those angry bees sw4rmed
over Cousin Bruin was a caution.
You would have been sorry for those
poor little bees. all their summer

farming and are an innovation which
will be highly valuable In stimulating

ment Of conservation say.
A study has been made Of the Sub.
ject Of the effect Of calcium COM
pounds upon the soils Of Indiana. It
has been ascertained that there IL
much acid soil in the state that needs
treatment with limestone to neutral-
lie the acidity Of the earth. Practic-
all all soils in Indiana west and south
of a line passing diagonally across the
state from the Southeastern bound
ary Of Newton county southeastWard
to the boundary Of Randolph county
are decidedly acid. There IL also q
small area in the Northwestern part
OF the state including most Of Porter,
LAporte, Stark, Pulaski and Marshall
counties that has acid soil.
In the treatment Of these soils lime
stone Of any brand will have q bene-
ictal effect, according to conservation
officials.
Both in Northern and Southern In.
diana there are outcroppin8o Of lime
crushed for use on the soil.
Many farming communities would
find 1t economical to install q crusher
which would powder the stone for use
on several farms, 1t 10 believed by the
conservation department authorities
who have been studying the subject.

WHEN A YOUNGSTERS ON HIS
KNEE.

AN EEL.
When a youngsters on his knee,
Mans as good as he can be;
Then it seems his soul takes hold
OF his tongue and turns to gold
All the words he utters low
Telling tales Of long ago.
Then his thoughts are always clean, \
Never selfish, mean.
And his touch grows gentle, too,
AS he runs his fingers through
Silky curls like once he had
When he was a little lad.
When a youngsters on his knee
Mans as fine as he can be.
Then the strong arms that have
fought
Bitterly for things they've sought
Just like angel arms above,
And he's proud that he can place
Kisses on that little face,
AND his sweetness bubbles up
JUS like wine within the cup.
For those few glad moments thea
He is innocent again.
When a youngsters on his knee
Mar is what he yearns to be.
Then he turns IVA from strife
To the happiness Of life
Turns away from selfish things
To the joys which kindness brings:
Changes in that merry hour
FROM a mar of force and power
TO a teacher, wise and good.
Talking, living as he should.
Mans as great as he can be -

wHATIL WE DO?.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
large amount Of whiskey stored in the
government warehouses in Indi-
ana, offers a problem for Peter j.
Kruger, collector Of internal revenue,
who is in charge Of the consolidated
districts of the state.
Government bonded warehouses
contain approximately $500, 900 gal
Ions Of whiskey which it is impossi-
bic to transport by common carrier
except for medicinal. sacramental, or
experimental purposes in compliance
with the pational prohibition law, and
as a consequence it cannot be shipped
to other states where possession Of
liquor is not illegal, nor can it be sold
in Indiana, according to the collector.
As a result the government is COM
PEELED to keep watchmen at the ware
houses day and night and the distil-
also are compelled to help police
the warehouse and maintain a force
inspectors to watch for leakage, as
the owner must pay the regular beve-
rage tax of $40 a gallon for all that
is lost. The lost liquor IL technically
considered to have been consumed.
