LONDON, Jan sos rroSitesriag was carried to such an extreme in Turkey during the war that, in the opinion of special representative of the British press at ConstantiIople, it passes comprehension how people managed to live. Writing from Con stantinople, he says:
 There is no doubt that Turkey during the war was largely the play thing of Enver Pasha, Talaat Pasha, and their band of satellites. They reduced the country to state of wholesale corruption remarkable for Turkey, and in amassing riches them.

COMMUNICATED

JUNEAU, Jan. 21.-To the Editor) Tn your paper of yesterday, Jan uary, 20th., under the heading, Frank Daniels Disappears. and Ar. rest Is Made," you further state that Joe Brown, a Filipino was with him on the night before he disap peared, and that he has been ar rested.
 An inquiry at the Federal jail ahows that Joe Brown is not a Fili- pino, but Mexican.
 There are large number of young Filipinos in this vicinity, and there have been very few instances of their getting into trouble as a result of the violations of the law. These men naturally feel humiliated that statements like the foregoing should be made, which have tenedncy t. convey the idea that they are a law, less element and addicted to crim inal practices.
 On behalf of the Filipinos in this section, and with their knowledge and approval, I respectfully request that you make correction of the article referred to. I may call your attention to the fact that there are great many Filipinos on the Pa cific Coast and an investigation will reveal the fact that their record for criminal arrests is lower than among any other foreign residents.
 accused of crime happens to be dark complected, he should be thoughtless ly designated as a Filipino.
 Yours truly,

Grayson's First Horse Race

Admiral Cary T. Grayson, White House physician to Presidents Roose- welt, Taft and Wilson, in an interview reported by Richard M. Winans in Phys
 ical Culture tells this interesting story
 of an early horseback riding eXperi- ence. 'I vividly recall my first real
 good fall. It. was during road race
 when I was about II years old and
 weighed around 15 pounds. I had a
 very fast thoroughbred and q boy of
 about my age also had a good animal and he challanged me to race him. The
 event was scheduled for the court day, Monday, and as it had been widely ad = Nertised the whole countryside turned out en masse to witness the contest, which was mostly that of horseman-
 ship.
 'The course was one mile, the greater part of which was through the country | town. l allowed the other fellow to hold the lead about half the distance and then when near the finish l closed up on him until my horses head was on his Hanks, when his horse stum-
 bled, causing my horse to make q lightning bolt down a cross street. But l kept right on going, making an aerial flight that would have paled the early
 effort of the Wright brothers, soaring far over the heads of the populace in
 the sidelines and landing in market t
 wagon at the curb. That fall certainly
 made dent in me and it was the first
 and last ever to put me to sleep. did
 not awaken until I was almost home. I nave ridden in many races since at country fairs and horse shows but that lesson taught me never to ride full onto the heels of another horse.

Meditation

From Meditation" by Dr. Frank Crane in Physical Culture. Meditation is an art unknown in our in our western world
 About the only meditation we indulge in is the kind induced by an imagina- tion overheated by some strong desire as when we revel in visions of gratified appetites, of success or of good fortune This is not true meditation; it is g sort of drunkenness Real meditation is where the intellect is liberated and goes over our whole self. inspecting. setting all things in order.
 It is an art. It cannot be done with good results except by practice.
 Most Americans are forever doing doing. doing. When they are not doing. they want to be amused. Every minute must be full. We cannot ride or the cars without a newspaper. We will not sit quiet for half an hour without some person to talk to or some periodical to read. To commune with ones self is the height of boredom.
 The person we least know and most dread to be left alone with, is ourself.
 To acquire skill in meditation, set apart half hour every day. Be alone in your room. Be physically still, ab- solutely. Read nothing. Look at noth ing. Concentrate upon your own thoughts.
 Fix in your mind that you are thor oughly to take stock of yourself: your mind is to go over all your body and soil to see clearly what you are, to avoid living in a fools self-delusion.
 Take up your body. What habits aye you dropping into? Have you any ra- tional plan of exercise? Is your eating haphazard or intelligent? Whatever you do. at least it will not hurt you to know.

 For the last half of the week that noted screen star, Bert Lytel, will be will be noticed in the first reels of tilis seen in ''Blind Mans Eyes. Bert picture with full grown mustache, but you won't like it, and he knows that, so in the last part of the film he will appear just as handsome as ever with a clean upper lip.
 Blind Mans Eye" is play of un- usual power, and it gives the young actor a role of tremendous range, showing his ability both in the deep and heart gripping phases of the play and in the moments of sympa- thetic comedy which gives light and humorous appeal to the otherwise in tense drama.
 The two programmes offered by Loews will be of exceptional merit, each photoplay being a superb offer ing, and the two stars are as popular as ever appear in Birmingham at any of the theatres.

 Only by making the supreme sacri- flee on the altar of love, however, can Alice Lindsay prove her devotion for' her husband. She does this and the ensuing situations form not only an intensely interesting but an unusual sort of story, one which proves true the saying, "Woman's at best a con- tradietion still
 Miss Nesbit's part enables her to display a wealth of beautif& gowns in her latest picture and, as usual, she does this to advantage. Her acting is said to be even better than in her previous successes "The Woman Who Gave" and q Want to Forget, both of which met with much favor To- cally.

Two Big Features

 Ethel Clayton will be seen in "Pettgrew S Girl" picture that is wonderfully adapted to this marvellous little screen artist. and one that will prove quite as inter- esting and pleasing IS any she has been seen in. There is little use in going into detail regarding Miss Clayton, for the large follow ing she has built up in, this city is certain to greet her most cordi- ally.

Griffiths new production is flashed upon the screen next Wednesday. to run for the rest of the week, for this pie ture is one that the great pro- ducer of the silent drama has put weeks of time and a great amount of money into, and it is offered to the public as Griffith's ideal TO- nance of the present time. The title of the picture is The Girl Who Stayed At Home," and it re- cords the romance of beautiful southern girl, the daughter of an old Confederate veteran, who saw her soldier sweetheart shoulder his gun and march away that the world might be made safe for de- mocracy.
 It would be easy to review the plot of this most entrancing pie ture. but to do so would destroy much of the pleasure of those who will see the production upon the screen, for one of the great charms of Griffith's pictures is their de- parture from thee ut and dried brand of romance as it is recorded upon thes creen in the senarios one sees in the average picture thea tJc, anu lil1S one 10 ip tAtSPticii' for every flicker of the film brings a new surprise and the verdict of all who have seen it is, Why, it's absolutely original.

 Earle Wiley and Grady Hol- lingsworth, the Strand organists, have arranged a beautiful musical score to accompany the picture, which within itself will be great treat, and, of course the current edition of the Pathe News will wind up the programme, for the strand I,,vr to h
