SEVEN SINNERS
FACE BUSINESS
Douglas Mailaeh- "POet of the
Weeds" Defines Crimes in
Working World.

The liar. gossip. Crouch. pessim-
list. gutter, loafer and fiend-for-
work are the seven sinners of bust
ness. according to the deductions
of Douglas Malloch, known nation
wide for his poetry, optimism and
witticisms, who spoke to the bust
ness men of Moline at the Com
mercial club last night.
Mr.. Malloch never once lost the
interest of his listeners, as he &c
fined each of the crimes against
good judgment. He said the liar IN
business is the outgrowth OF the
night Geographic letters for lit IS
easX to tell the truth in 10 words
but hard to keep within its bounds
in So" The gossip was described as
the submarine of conversation ="
"One who sees light in the dark
ness, where there is no light is the
optimist, but the one who blows out
that light is the pessimist.
1.-THE only referee who can call
you down and out is yourself" Mr..
Malloch said, "and so long as you
are able to say you're out, you re
able TO fight. The man. who loafs
thinks he's fooling the boss, but the
worst fooled man is himself. But if
idleness is foolish there is a thing
twice as foolish, that's for a man
to oVerwork. Only one man became
multi-millionaire through burning
of the midnight oil-and he let
someone else do that"
THE sinner" he put in as the
eighth crime, for good measure, is
the man who talks too much. His
head is like a strangers valise, no
one would know how little is in it,
if he wasn't always opening it.
Opportunity knocks at every
mans door, but some men are maxi
ing so much noise they never hear.
But there's one nice thing about op-
portunity-ft knocks only once"
"a smile is the only beauty doctor
who ever made good" continued
Mr.. MallochS just before he gave
some of his poems which illustrat-
ed that adage.
Preceding Mr. Malloch's talk
there was a/half hour of commun-
ity, singing led by Charles Gardner.
A buffet luncheon was served at the
conclusion of the program.

INSECTS WAKE UP
IN MONTH OF MAY

Washington-May is the month
when the insects wake up and get
ready to attack your trees, says
a bulletin from the American For
estry association. Here is some
tree advice from the association
for May:
Plant evergreens during the
first part of May. Spray for all
varieties of insects. those that
chew, suck and bore. Spray for
fungous disease. Commence cuI-
tivaJing and watering trees and
shrubs. Complete the removal Of
trees hopelessly infested with Dor
ing insects such as the Hickory
Bark beetle, the two-lined Chest
nut bOTer. Examine trees to see
that they are free from eggs Of
the TussoCk moth. Gypsy moth,
etc, and from coeoons such as
those of the Brown-tail moth AID
the Bag-worTn.

DE- JemteS E.CroWeker

To show in striking, dramatic
manner that the present world I'M
rest merely repeats chapters in his
tory is the purpose of a stately, in
spring pageant which has been ar
ranged by DR.. James E. Crowther
of Seattle, Wash, for presentation
at the big Methodist centenary cele-
bration of June 20-July Is in Co
lumbus, Ohio. Understanding and
comfort to the man bewilGered by
the trend of modern events are the
essentials DR.. Crowther desired to
convey when he chose this most
dignified form of public presenta-
ton.
DR.. Crowther is the father Of the
centenary celebration pageant idea.
A2ealizing that the celebration
would attract many thousands who
could carry away great spiritual
message if it was presented in
striking manner. he designed the
pageant, THE Wayfarer," as more
than an entertainment or a specta-
Gle, and combined Impressive re-
ligious drama with a high class
musical setting to show that
throughout the ages religion has
triumphed over seemingly insur-
nountabLe opposition.
THE Wayfarer." with not less
than $50 stage characters and an
oft-stage chorus of 1000 voices,
shows the title character led by
understanding through phases of
history's troubled times ranging
rom the ancient Jewish captivity
and the crucifxion to the late world
war Hope is the dominant note
of the pageant's finale.
DR.. Crowther is pastor of the
First Methodist church of Seattle.
but has been giving practically his
entire time to the success of the
centenary celebration.

the full effect of the precipitation

AT THE MAJESTIC.

The famous picture which the
west has been waiting for will be
seen in Rock Island three days. be-
ginning at the Majestic theatre. 1t
is none other than David Ward
Grifith's 1.-THE Girl Who Stayed at
Home"
1t is a notable fact that Mr.. Grit
fifth is now producing a series OF
photoplays which are admittedly
the best he has ever done. He
started them with THE Birth of a
Nation" Intolerance" and Hearts
of the World" and he has kept
right on with his plan to the point
where he had been doing his great
est work.
In the field of silent drama. the
name of Mr.. Griffith is a power
second, to none. He is one of the
most accomplished producers OF
cinema spectacIes in the world
THE Girl Who Stayed at Home
is a distinctly artistic achievement
in fact the finest he has made since
The Birth of a Nation" 1t is not
a war story but it is a love tale
which compels the closest inter
est and the greatest exercise of at
tention.
The sAory concerns the son of a
wealthy shipbuilder who falls in
love with a French girl. These
two central characters appear in a
series of dramatic situations which
for sheer power have not been ri
vailed by anything which Mr.. Crit
fifth has ever done. There is just a
bare touch of the war in the pic
ture, enough to give it color and
add to the splendid story which
the author has provided. The back
gound is somber but not depress-
ing at all and there are moments
of light touches which only a mas
ter producer like Griffith is able to
show.
The Majestic theatre, in addition
to showing a series of excellent
dramas this week has provided
many clever comedies and news
features.
Tonight, George Walsh, the inim-
table screen star, will be seen in
his very latest comedy drama,
Help. Help. Police" This is a
picture of unusual possibilities and
Mr. Walsh extracts in full, the
chances to show his dramatic abil-
ity.

POSSIBLE TO
PARADE ALL OF -
THIRTY-THIRDS

The Thlrty-third division will not
be paraded in Chicago. but It VIII
be possible to parade units Of the
division providing there is no de-
lay occasioned to other units by the
parade, reports from Washington
indicate. This information is taken
to mean that the one Hundred
Twenty-thlrd Heavy Field Artillery
may be paraded in Chicago, and Ger
tainly means that She batteries VIII
be permitted 10 parade IN their
home cities.
II is stated by the representative
of the adjutant general Of Illinois
that the reason for not parading ne
division is because il would deiay
the boys in getting discharged aud
being sent home The majority OF
soldiers have expressed the desire
TO be discharged as soon as they ar
rive in this, country.
The letter written 10 the sccse-
tary of the Kewanee commercial Or
ganiZation follows:
1T has been found after many in
the desire uppeTmost in the minds
of nearly all returning soldiers rs
to be discharged and returned 20
their homes as quickly as possible.
ITO transport a division by rail

vision in one interior city wOu.I

lay the rehabilitation Of this and
other organizations.
Contrary TO Policy.
For these reasons 1t Is now con-
trary to the policy of the war ue-
partment to hold in service or dez
lay the discharge of any organsza-
ton in order to await the arrival Of
other units so that they might az
parade together. However, the de-
partment will be pleased TO author
ize and arrange for the parade Of
complete organizations of the Thir-
ty-third division, provided they ar
rive so that there is no waiting for
other units and no delay in reIeas-
ing railroad equipment.
Until this division arrives no
definite arrangements can be made
1t might be that the dates Of arrival
and the availability of railroad
equipment will be such that "A large
part of this division can be landed
in Chicago on the same day, but no
promises can be made to that effect
now"

LOOP CELLARS
FLOODED FROM
Sewer SYSTEM

The heavy rainfall of last night
and this morning overtaxed the
sewer system and as a result fires
in furnaces in Easements in many
loop buildings as well as in some
parts of the residence section were
extinguished by water backing up.
Because Of the high stage of the
Mississippi river, the pump at the
sewer outlet at the foot of Fifth
avenue has been in operation, the
sewage being pumped out Of the
mains into the river. The pump
has been kept in constant opera
ton and Commissioner ]. A. Muir
rim declared today that it was eX-
pected that the flooded conditions
of the Easements would only be
temporary.
