In Interest of Memorial Fund

AS announced last week the New
Theatre has booked five great pho
toplays which will be shown here i'm
this year in the interest of the SOL
dierS memorial
Tho manager of the Theatre has
not devised this plan as scheme to
separate the people from their mon
c.y. in his own interest; he has taken
this course because it is the only way
in which he can serve in this great
moycment-the greatest opportunity,
IN his Judgment, this county has ever
had to do a'grcat thing.
Each of the pictures that will be
shown is the greatest of its kind and
the scenario Of each is based, on some
phase of the war and its aftermath.
The first of these pictures "Fires
OF taith," is based on the work of
the Salvation Army in France. This
is truly great production and should
be seen by everybody.

MADMAN DEFECTIVE
WHITE

Any man who drifts along in life
without an objective is a defective,
said DR.. william A. White, superin-
tendent Of the Government Hospital
for the Insane, testifying before q
jury in Justice Siddons' court as to
the sanity OF James Henry Jackson,
the negro, who is alleged to have at
tackled and fatally shot Miss Lillian
Hood, a war worker. January "a,
last at her home at 1887 L stBeet
DR.. White testified that Jackson's
mind at the time Of his attack on Miss
Hood was entirely taken up with "the
thing he had in mind, and nothing
else; and that after he once had en-
gagged in this enterprise he had no
control over himself"
The witness styled Jackson as "ab-
normal and anti-social"
DR.. White did not think that Jack
SON intended to kill Miss Hood.
DR.. Percy Hickling will be called to
testify for the prosecution this af-
ternoon. DR.. Hickling's testimony
will tend to show that Jackson was
well aware OF what he was doing. and
that he is not abnormal and perfectly
rational.

Every one OF the seventy-one
laborers employed by the Treas

poorest paid employees of Uncle
Sam, has 'come across" with

When II is considered that
these men get only $500 a year.

quality OF their patriotism may
be appreciated. Furthermore,
