LoeW'S Lyceum.

The work of Tom Mix, the famous
screen comedian, in THE Feud' at
Loews Lyceum during the first half
of this week, is a revelation, For the
first time in his career, Mix drops his
fun making and plays a sterner part.
He is eminently successful in his new
role
The opening scenes of 1.-The Feud"
are laid among the Kentucky noun
tains where a quarrel between two
families is handed down from genera
tion to generation. The closing scenes
are laid on the western plains where
the warning families are finally united
by marriage between the son Of one
and the daughter Of the other.
THE Feud" is gripping love story
of two generations, in which the chill
dren of a couple that are forced apart
meet and marry in after years. Mix
is the lover in both episodes, and pret-
ty Eva Novak is the sweetheart on
both occasions.
The vaudeville bill includes Walter
and Emily Walters Henry Borton &

Mdu ReDiSe Calendar

[From the Pittsburgh Dispatch1
One OF the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations, when
it gets ready for new business, is
one to revise the calendar and make
it uniform throughout the world.
Government burdens of the United
States, Switzerland and Breat Britain
got into touch with church officials
before the war on the subject of
calendar revision, and have kept up
consideration of the matter since.
Church leaders say an agreement
has been reached and a uniform re-
port is nearly ready to go to the
League.
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objection from
the churches to dates for the great
religious feasts. These objections
are said to be removed.
A fixed date for Easter. the add
ing of thirteenth month. the max
ing of every week begin with O
Sunday and have exactly 2S days in
each month-these are the main
features agreed on. Church people
favoring the revision act, car
designate a calendar congress to dc
so, to sit at Geneva.

Bald Heads at Peace Table
[From Answers, London]

FROM AHSWtES, LOiluOhJ
An amusing sidelight on the re-
cent Peace Conference at Versailles
is thrown by an American cores
pondent, who not only reported the
proceedings proper, but took notes
regarding the hair, mustaches,
boards and whiskers of the peace
makers.
Two-thirds of the delegates were
more or less bald. Perhaps some
of them made up for this by wear
ing mustaches. Out of sixty-five
men who sat around the peace table,
all had mustaches but fourteen.
Whiskers, on the other hand,
were not popular. Ony three peo-
pie wore them, and by a curious
coincidence, the names of all these
three people began with V. They
were Venizelos of Greece, Wander
velde of Belgium and Vassitch of
Serbia. The latters whiskers were
particularly prominent.
In regard to dress, here was less
formal attire than one might have
imagined. The English paid no spe-
cial attention to dress. Bowler hats
and frockcoats, once a combination
that would never have been sane
toned, were quite popular; but
there were some countries which put
all they knew into their attire
These were, notably, the Japanese
and some of the South American
states.
Button boots and lace boots, we
are told, came out even.

II we may judge from the advices
coming out of Washington, most of
the brilliant officers of the Army will
have retired to public life before the
end of the year unless Congress takes
some action to recognize their great
services in the war and to compen-
safe them accordingly. Those who
held high rank during the war are
now dropping back to the grade
which they held previous to the war,
and their compensation is rated ac-
cordingly. Republics are said to be
ungrateful. and unless the United
States takes different course with
respect to It's leaders in the war. this
reputation will be justified.

possession, and he turned it over to
Pharaoh; and then he made a trade
with the people. fAnd it shall come
to pass in the increase that ye shall
give the fifth part unto Pharaoh
That is, he demanded, as a return
for his foresight that fifth of the
products of all the land of Egypt
should belong to the King. What
he said was:
-Four parts shall be your own,
for seed of the field, and for food,
and for them of your households,
and for food for your little ones"
Now, see how different the i'm
pressions of the people in those days
from the attitude of the people to-
day toward the infamous men who
follow in Joseph's footsteps, for the
people of Egypt said, Thou hast
saved our lives. Let us find grace
in the sight of my Lord, and we Will
be Pharaoh's children"
"Thou hast saved our lives" for
while they were grumbling at the
profiteer, while they were complain
ing about the huge profits or the
man of foresight, while they were
denouncing his reward, yet the men
Of those times knew, Thou hast
saved our lives"
And while the pronteer was uuy
ing all the land and all the grain
and after he had put the grain in
his store-houses, when famine was
sore throughout the land, the chill
dren ate because of the prohteer'
and when the famine waxed even
more sore the women ate because
of the profiteer; and then, at the
| end of those seven years, Egypt sur
vived because of the profiteer; and
even since that time it has been al
ways the man of foresight who has
saved the peoples of the world from
| their own shiftlessness.

South Turns to Sheep Raising

The South is going in for sheep
raising again, and the Southern Set
tlement and Development Organi-
zation, in connection with the sheep
raising campaign, is interesting Of
ficials of southern states in the pas
sage of dog control laws. The
necessity for the enactment of such
legislation is apparent, says the or
ganization, for sheep raising cannot
be carried on successfully If dogs
are allowed to prowl about at night
and prey upon the flocks.
These proposed dog control laws
provide for registration and taxa
ton of dogs, outlawing dogs not so
officially recorded, permitting the
killing of stray dogs, especially at
night or on sheep farms, and COM
pensation to sheep owners for dam
age sustained. Reports from the
Departm of Agriculture show
that in one recent year $4,000 sheep
were killed by dogs in 5O2 counties
reporting 6,S00.000 sheep within
their borders.
