weird. very wonderful, very full of tragic charm.
 Nazimova is sihouetted against the drab figures with amazing cameo-like elearness. The helpless groping, mother less girl of the Light" arouses our in- finite pity; it is not Nazimova at all; it is the Keepers Daughter melting into the background of cold masonry, the wist- ful child who is destined to wing away across the shoals like the freed bird.
 From the very first moment we feel the dull pain of the impending crisis We know it has got to come, and it does with dramatic intensity.
 Ala Naziinova has always held her audiences as if by magic. Gan you ever forget that shadow of a woman in 'The Comet?' dominant, hloodless, immutable as granite?
 And later the crafty siren of the sand wastes, who had the waters of the Nile in her veins, the fashionable Mrs. Chep- stow" of London, the carroding Bella Donna" of the desert?
 Even in pictures with all color and sound gone, Nazimova fairly chills the heart, even while gripping it. You can't talk or laugh or chat with your next door neighbor when you sit before Nazimova picture; you've got to keep your. eve and your mind right on the picture every min I,ute that the little 'tick-tock' man is winding off the reels. If you don't you'll miss something's gesture, look, shad- ow, and all is lost. "Out of the Fog or "'Ception Shoals,' gives us a brand new Nazimova. It nevei

6C1HE following letter has been sent II to Womans Christian Temper
 S ance union workers in this city

C0C1HE following letter has been sent
 to Womans Christian Temper
 S ance union workers in this city by Mrs Chapel Cory and will be read with deep interest.
 It is with unfeigned sorrow that the vice president of the Alabama Wom- ans Christian Temperance union finds it becomes her duty to take up the work of our president Mrs. Mary T. Jeffries, even for a short period. Not that your vice president is afraid or opposed to work attached to these du- ties. but because of the sad reason for "offending."
 For some weeks past our much loved president has not been very well, ow- ing to a spell of influenza, which has been no respecter of persons Believ- ing each day that she would soon be better and could take up the fast ac- cumulating work of her office, she struggled on with high hopes from day to day until she suffered relapse Her physicians have ordered her to Asheville, N. C., for absolute rest, after which they believe she will be com pletely restored to health.
 With our presidents characteristic regard for others, she sent in her res ignaton as president, and stated 1t was final But just as promptly this WY with strong and loving resolution which could not be rejected.
 Therefore, for short while as vice president I gladly take up the duties of my friend in this service of love, believing that all officers and members of the Alabama Woman's Christian Temperanca union will lend loyal and helping hands. thereby proving that our expressed love for our president is more than mere Zip service" regard.
 Especially must I beg assistance from the different unions in my work as editor of the Alabama White Rib bon. If unions will send accounts of meetings it will mean much toward making the paper more interesting.
 Knowing full well the deep love in which our devoted leader is held by every member of this great organiza- tiop, I feel sure that my own petition to our Heavenly Father, that He res store to His service and the service of the state this faithful and conse crated worker, has an echo in every earnest Woman Christian Temperance union heart.
 With the firm belief that our presi- dent will very soon be at the helm where

occurred to me before that she could portray youth" it never occurred to me to picture her as Innocence" in bath ing suit-a girl-child still in her teens.
 Nazimova is great picture actress as well as a great legitimate actress, and there are still fresh, unheralded laurels for this wonderful woman. for, see how she lives a lifetime from the 1.-the sprite of the noonlit shoals to the woman as old as the Sphinx itself!
 Yes, Ala Nazimova is a great artist; not that this is news to anybody, for none has ever doubted it, but this latest pie ture of hers, ''Out of the Fog" strikes every string of the human heart, lifts her to supreme heights of achievement.
 And when all is told the one supreme moment of the picture is the little epi- sode of the open bird cage, when practi- cally no action is interpolated, when the silence of the picture speaks supreme dialogue when vista of sea and fog and sky and sunshine and the bowed figure, all hold us so tense.

 My greatest suffering was in my right side was so sore and I felt if I stepped down or jared myself the least bit I could not stand it-so just walked mostly tiptoe. This kept up until was just about discouraged and decided I had best try something else.
 Someone told me of Cardui. and where it had benefited cases similar to mine. felt at least it would not hurt to give it trial.
 After my first bottle I felt better there was less pain and soreness in my side. | After my third bottle of Cardui was well and have been ever since"

MERE was little W1nQOW Tn the living room of the 'Ception Shoals = Light; it faced the tempestuous, open, angry sea, where the gulls forever circled and the white surf beat gainst the rocks, and the buoy that was a mothers voice" calling, calling, spoke without cessa tion.
 And as if in defiance of the solemn, se- pulchral place, two tiny potted flowers struggled for existence at this window, their pale blossoms reaching for the sun shine. Just above them hung the wicker bird cage,
 But the door was open now and the cage was empty. The wee bit of song was silenced; it hung there against the squares of glass like tomb holding only the memory of melody.

Friends of Knocked Out Fighter Bias Referees Judgment When They Interrupt Count With an
 Artillery Display
By JAMES J. coRBETT

Copyright. 1919. by King Features Syn dicate, Inc)
 Another refereeing yarn that Walter c. Kelly of Buffalo springs is this:
 Twenty years or so ago I was asked to referee a bout in Black Rock, a suburb of Buffalo. I had a more important job on hand for that night, but suggest ed to the promoters of the Black Rock show that they appoint George DeRade, who then was an office boy in the news paper shop where I was working.
 "DeRade was r, bug on boxing and just about five feet tall. But the kid knew the rules and had performed mighty we'll in preliminary bouts around Buff fa1o while pinch-hitting for me- Upon my recommendation DeRade got the job and left for Black Rock without dreaming of how he would come back
 Two bantamweights, local brides, were the main attraction. Kid Hartke was one of them, but I've forgotten the name of the other kid. think they called him Sailor Boy.
 ''The youngster sput up a slashing fight for about three rounds, when all of a sudden, Hartke belted the Sailor Boy a beautiful right-hander on the chin. And down went the Sailor Boy. Over jumped DeRade, the midget, and began counting over him. But hardly had he started when the seconds leaped out of the Sailor Boys corner and a half dozen toughs, who had bet on the Sailor Boy, also jumped into the ring.
 Hey, you-hey, beloved the seconds of the Sailor Boy at DeRade 'Hartke fouled him; he fouled him. I'll bust your skull into a thousand pieces if you keep on counting. Hartke fouled him-stop
 Cnunting-he fOuled him. v
