ParIor, Bedroom and Bath." Could you select a more suitable title for this Imaginable, personal farce? I am sure that you could not, as it is the product of months of thought on the part of the producer, A H. Woods
 Scores of titles had been suggested, and rejected for this amusing comedy, among them being "The Private Suite'' and "Licentious Reginald" But it was in the midst of rehearsal that Mir
 Woods indulged in an enlightenine moment in which this appropriate title flashed across his mind. And as such. the comedy has gained national fame

Also. another superb feature of Morley entertainment is the fact that it cannot be deterred by indictment weather.

Theda Bara in "CIeop atra"

"Cleopatra," the spectacular and sen- sational William Fox extravaganza, .n which Theda Bara is seen in the role of the famous siren of the Nile, is up for final showings at the Lamara today. The Lamara has never played a more satisfying bill than this production. From the point of beauty 1t excels any screen story of recent years. Fo, ma ssiveness it has never been excelled and very seldom equalled. while from point of costuming and daring presen- tation,>it marks up a record that will stand for years. It begins when Julius Caesar was making his conquest of the world, when Egypt fell and when Cleopatra was driven before the vic torious hosts, and forced to take her retinue of court to thed esert. when Caesar fell into Cleopatra's wiies and his downfall. Then in turn came Oc- tavius Caesar-the leader of the Roman army. and last the greatest Roman of them all. Mark Anthony. Cleopatra reevals in detail the sublime love story of all times, Anthony and Cleopatra, depicting the eternal feminine in her most alluring light.
 Tomorrow starts the engagement of Gladys Brockwell. appearing in Flames of the F>lesh.

five millions of people in this country
so ignorant that they can neither
read nor write? Probably you did
not, but so the census shows.
Over $4,000 900 of the illiterates in
this country are 20 years of age or
more. This figure equals the total
population of the States of Cali

Utah. Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico
and Delaware. The percentage of
illiterates varies in the several
states from 1T per cent in Iowa to

10 per cent of it was in thirteen

MEMORIAL
.SCYTHES

There are three scythes hanging in
the crotch of an old tree on a farm
near Auburn, New York. One of
them is eaten by rust and SO over
grown by the live wood of the tree
that only a tiny bit of the blade pro-
trudes. One is rusty, but is still
whole, with the development just
started. One is new.
The old scythe was hung there
sixty years ago by James Johnson,
when he marched off to the civil war,
telling his wife not to touch it until
he came back. He never came back.
The farm passed into other hands
but the memorial remained. Then
when the United States entered the
war, Raymond Schaeffer placed his
scythe beside the rusty relic, and
marched off to an army camp. Re-
Gently his brother Lynn added his
scythe and went to join the navy.

POLITICAL
IGNORANCE

We have with us today, and during
every campaign, in this land of the
brave and the home of the crank,
thousands of little 2x4 pothouse
politicians.
One hears them in the streets, in
the hotels, everywhere, s~elf-import-
ant -personages, who know as little OF
political economy as a parrot of the
power of prayer, prating l%earnedly
of tariff and free trade, peace trea-
ties, leagues of nations and the prop
er governmental control of the
world. Men who couldn't tell a fun
damental principle from their funny
bone, an economic thesis from a hot
tamale, who don't know whether
Gladstone was an economist or a
corr doctor, evolve from their empty
ignorance new systems of Saving
the country"
We have noticed that, as a rule, the
less a man knows of the science of
government the crazier he is to go
to Congress, and that about half the
young statesmen who break into the
various legislature think that prob
ably James G. Blains, Mckinley or
Mark Hanna wrote the Science of
Economics, and that Jefferson Davis
was the father of democracy.
We sure do need some schools for
others than the children.

1T HEALS
THE SCARS

Let us switch our thoughts from
the carnage of war and shame o.
profteering, once in a while, anC
think of something that is true ant
good and beautiful. The flowers are
beautiful, but the grass is more thar
thai. Here is what John j. ingalls,
said about it:
Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelions of May
scarcely higher in intellect than the
minute tenants of that mimic wilder
ness, our earliest recollection are
of rass; and when the itful fever is
ended, and the foolish wrangle OF
the market and forum is closed, grass
heals over the C a which III de-
carpet of the infant becomes the blan-
ket for the dead.
Grass is the forgiveness of Ma
ture - her constant benediction.
Fields trampled in battle, saturated
with blood, torn with the ruts of
cannon, grow green again with the
grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown like rural lanes and are
obliterated.
Forests decay, harvests perish,
flowers vanish, but grass is immortal.
Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of
winter, it withdraws into the impreg-
nable fortress of it's s~ubterranean
vitality and energies upon the first
solicitation of spring.
"Sown by the winds, by the wan
dering birds, ~propagated by the sub
tie agriculture of the elements which
are its ministers and servants, it
softens the rude outline of the world.
1t bears no blazonry of bloom to
charm the senses with fragrance and
splendor, but it's homely hue is more
enchanting than the lily or the rose.
1t yields no fruits in earth or air,
and yet, should it's harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopu-
late the earth"

SUCCESSFUL
TEAM WORK.

1t sometimes happens that when a
number of persons are working to-
gether for a certain end there is a
temptation for self-aggrandizement,
an inclination on the part of n or
more to do star-performing at the
expense of the rest Of the team.
This may often be seen in athletics;
but a person is not thoroughly eff
cient on any team or on any COM
mittee until he learns to sacrifice
himself when necessary for the good
of the entire team. A player often
has the opportunity to make a good
record as an individual when by do
ing so his cam would be injured
There is a temptation to gain the
glory for himself, but if he has trained
himself we'll and has a keen sense OF
honor, he will sacrifice himself fol-
the good of the cause the team is
working for.
Unless a person conducts his own
affairs without the cooperation OF
others he should learn to do gooo
team work. He ought to try to fiji
himself into the stroke of the team
to enter heartily into the spirit of the
game, of becoming competent to leat
others into the establishment of
better stroke. Otherwise his efforts
may be a hinderance rather than
help.
1t is important to get horses to pull
together if the load is stuck in &
mudhole. With ill-trained teams, OF
unskilled drivers, one horse lunge:
ahead with all his strength and thu
other is pulled back against thu
wheel. Two horses pulling steadil!
together will pull a heavier load thai
four pulling on the see-saw.
