While the crowd that turned out to
greet the opening show Of "a Ro-
nance o. the ARR was not CHAT it
should have been according to the
merits of the picture, the ones that
were there were given treat. The
picture opens IN France at the famous
Lafayette ,Bsaadriile with Lieutenant
Hall playing the leading part. Lieut.
Hall is a native OF Kentucky and has
.7on for his bravery the highest hon
ors that the French can bestow.
Miss Edith Day takes the part OF an
American glll who was in Germany
when the var broke out taking music
and who was staying at the home OF
girl friend OF hers, whose brother
though Of neutral nationality, was
heart and soul with the Germans, al
though of course they kept this from
tho dainty little miss from the D. S.
/ A. as they HAD planned TO use her to
find out the French plans in the near
future.
The scene now turns back to where
Lieut., Hall is sent out to find the pU-
sition Of the Germans, and where he
is forced to lsnd on German territory,
, because OF bad wound that he has
received in the head and arm. But be-
| fore he is forced to land himself. he
brings down German plane, not very
far from where Hall was forced to land

German. and went into the hospital
as Lieut.. von.BerEen. While IN the
hospital he meets the young American
Girl whom kc knew when they were
both back in the states, but she Is a
real sport and does not give out his
identity. The Germans hSve suspic-
toned Hall and the girl and are haT-
ing them closely watched. and they
overhear the plan to escgpe. They do
not try to stop them. but take advan.
tage OF thia opportunity to send spy
into the French country. They get the
counter at whose home the American
girl stays to coax the two Americans
to take her with them, under the pre-
tense that she is dissatisfied with her
surroundings but is afraid to mention
it, for fear she will be killed.
After they finally reach France. Hall
is again sent out TO get information,
for the great offensive which the
French are planning. but the spies find
out that they have this information,
and move all their, batteries and other

NEXT MOVE IN DRY FIGHT
New York Firms Have Begun Ship
ping ~ Per Cent Stuff.

New York, April 19.-The next
move in the proceedings to decide
whether beer containing 2 Y per cent
alcohol is intoxicating is up to the
government today.
Two New York brewing firms have
begun shipping the ~ per cent beer
even tho the internal revenue collector
refused to issue revenue stamps for
it. In lieu of paying the tax, the
brewers deposited $6 per barrel in the
bank where it can be obtained by the
revenue collector if he wants it.
If the government deems 2% per
cent beer intoxicating and therefore
illegally manufactured under present
regulations. it must act to stop the
distribution. The brewers are acting
on advice of Elihu Root, their lawyer

ELSIE IS RIGHT
N. S. A. May Make RattTes Out of
Biscuits-But Here's to Elsie!

Dear AJC-
You know. Art, Elsie and I had
fearful argument the other night. We
were discussing the late war and we
hit on a town called HeeZe. in Hol-
land. Now, Art, she pronounced it
Heeze. I corrected her Immediately,
cause 1 am the one pronouncing kid.
told her it was not pronounced
Heeze, but Heeze, and she up and
yelled, Don't contradict me, 1 know
tits pronounced Heeze, and not
Heeze." OF course I let her have her
own way and pronounce it Heeze but
you know as well as do that it's
pronounced HeeZe and not Heeze. The
real Holland Dutch may put more of
a southern accent to it and pronounce
it Heeze. While some have the Eng
lish pronunciation and say Heeze.
But then with the straight Yankee
way. there is no other way than to
pronounce it Heeze. But what's the
use of arguing with a woman? If
she wants to be laughed at and call it
Heeze 1 won't stop her. But I shall
continue to pronounce it Heeze.
wouldn't you, Art? But at that, Art,
we get along pretty well together.
Course we make lot of mistakes at
times, but we will be regular married
folks some day. You know, Art, Noah
was six hundred years old before he
knew how to build the ark, SO we are
not losing our grip. And Elsie is a
She made a sponge cake last Sunday.
1t was SO nice and light, we just hated
to eat it. And as we haYe no auto
mobile, we decided to use it to wash
the baby buggy, and it's just grand.
We've washed the buggy twice now
and the vanilla flavoring in the cake
seems to harmonic with the oil fin
ish of the buggy and makes it lovely
olive drab. We are so resourceful at
our house. The last biscuits Elsie
made, we had four left over, so I hol-
lowed them out and put some Sleigh
bells in them and they make dandy
rattles for the baby. But speaking of
the baby, you can't tell me that baby
never knows anything. Our baby is
the most patriotic one thing I ever
saw; she absolutely refuses to eat
swiebach. But. then at that you can't
blame her any, a piece of Zwiebach
looks to be about as good to eat as an
old corn cob that had laid out in the
barn lot all winter. Say. I most neg
lected to say that Elsie and 1 like
grape fruit. Art, you know it has such
a palate-tweaking tang, a saporific
SAVIOR, but we never have them be-
swim. And then L wouldn't know
whether to use a mashie or a niblic
on one. Yet with all our faults, we
always try to be glad. We try to laugh
as much as possible. You know, Art,
the world laughs with the man who
laughs-if you don't laugh, the world
will laugh at you. And, oh, 1 nearly
forgot to tell you, that indigestion may
be averted from the children by muz-
zling them, and 1 guess that will be
about all. N. S. A.
