wonderment at the way the south is

ANY theories that the general pub

FORWARD MOVEMENT
DAY AT DOW MING
School Will Hold Big Picnic and Bar
becue for All Friends.

The Downing Industrial School OF
Brewton, Ala, is preparing for what
i its promoters believe will be the great
est day in its history on September g.
at which time many of the most prom
| inent citizens of Alabama will be
guests of the school.
The city of Brewton and the county
of Escambia, Alabama, have agreed to
do everything possible to assist the
school in entertaining the visitors on
that occasion.
A basket picnic and barbecue dinner
will be among the features planned for
the entertainment of the guests. The
school officers have assured all pro-
spective visitors that there is to be
no collection taken for any object that
day and that everything possible will
be done to help the guests have the
ver.v best time possible for one day.
President Shofne- of the Downing
Inausr4 laI School assures all that the
intention of the Forward Movement
Day of the school on September 8
is to show all Alabama just what the
school is accomplishing and just what
it hopes to accomplish in a short time.
The needs of the institution are to
be considered and President Shofner
uGSIcS 10 dSh the OplnIOti VI Tie
leading Alabamians who are to be
present on September as to what
they think of the plans which he has
laid for the institution.
The Downing Industrial School has
had a wonderful history since it was
first inaugurated fourteen years ago.
1t has grown to prominence among
the leading educational institutions of
Alabama and of the South. 1t has ed
ucated many women and girls who are
making splendid success in the -af-
fairs of life.
This school is in no sense of the
word a rescue home for girls, and it
does not take any girl until the ex-
celIence of her character has been duly
vouched for therefore, the atmos
phere of the institution is one of the
strongest moral forces in the educa-
tional life of every girl who is privi-
legged to attend it.
Already the Downing Industrial
school has reached an annual enroll
ment of nearly 800, and many applica-
tions of worthy girls are now being
turned down because the institution is
filled to it's present capacity.

Not a Grain of Dust.

The grinding of the mirrors surface
was a. feat even more notable than the
casting of the block of glass.
To accomplish this task took an
entire year. and the work was done
in a room with double windows, seal
ed; the air that entered was filtered to
keep out dust; the walls and settings
were coated with shellac; canyas was
suspended above the grinding machine,
and the floor of the room was kept
wet. When finished it was silvered by
the deposit from solution of nitrate
of silver poured into it. Transported
to the mountain top and adjusted at
the bottom of a tube suitable for its
forty two foot focus, it is being util-
lied to give views of the heavenly
bodies of greater magnification than
astronomers have ever hitherto been
privileged to observe.-Dr. Henry

BIG THEME DEVELOPED
IN MASTERY STYLE

It is dramatic slice of real life
that has been put entertainingly
upon the screen in the picture which
opened at the Elko theatre last night
and again appears tonight in two
final runs. Enid Bennett is the star
and the film is called "What Every
Woman Learns" The title is sig.
nificant and means this: A woman
doesn't become really acquainted
with the man Of her choice until after
she has married him and lived with
him in intimate private life. In jus.
tice to the males, however, let US hope
that what the woman learns is seldom
so unpleasant and disillusioning as
it was in the case Of the gay Miss
Fortesque.
Here is q picture that reveals new
prowess on the part of Thomas H.
Ince to produce work that is
psychologically sound and thorough
ly interesting. He has taken a big
theme and developed it in mastery
style, with no recourse to cheap comic
relief or forced effort to secure a
happy ending. The satisfying finale
is logical, and the fact that it ends
with the heroine in the leading mans
arms is the natural aftermath of the
thrilling tragedy that has gone be-
fore.

ELSIE FERCUS0N'S NEW
PICTURE. COUNTERFEIT
Talented Star Is Capable South
ern Girl Who Joins Secret
Service and Captures
Forgers

Another Of those beautiful capable
heroines which Elsie Ferguson por-
trays so we'll on the screen is the
central figure in the stars new pic
ture, "Counterfeit," which will be
on view at the Elko theatre Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week. The story is said to be novel
and exciting, presenting Miss Fer
guson as southern girl who to re-
plenish her fannily's falling fortunes
secures position in the secret service
and rounds up gang Of counterfeit
ers after a series of exciting adven-
lures. The scenes are laid in the
sunny south, in Understandable
Newport, and on board a yacht in
the harbor of the famous resort.
Supporting Miss Ferguson in the
chief male role is David Powell, a
well-known leading man, whose last
previous appearance on the screen
in Bemidji was as the suave arch
criminal Arsene Lupin, has a very
different role in "Counterfeit."
The photoplay is by Ouida Bergere
and was directed by George Fitz-
maurice. Mystery and heart inter-
est are declared to be pleasantly
blended in "Counterfeit."

ALICE BRADY IN 1.-THE
FEAR MARKET" LAST
TIME TONIGHT, GRAND

Not a few people in the United
States have read the very thrilling
story, "The Fear Market" written
by Princess Troubetzkoy, and not re-
called to mind a similar story which
occupied the most prominent position
on the front page of the daily press,
throughout the country, for many
weeks.
It deals with vicious scandal
sheet whose editor is mystery and
impossible to discover. A society girl,
Sylvia Stone (Alice Brady, an eye
witness to the act Of self destruction
committed by her friend, Mrs. Hill,
on account of the publication of a
libelous story in this Matchmaking
paper, is determined to run down and
trap the "fox" in his lair and bring
him to justice, not only to avenge
the death of her friend but for self
protection, being troubled of mind
lest an innocent affair which she was
a party of might be made public,
thereby doing her an injustice and
injury.
Alice Brady's portrayal of Sylvia
Stone is so genuine that it places her
in the first rank Of realistic screen
artistes and her emotional work

ELKO HAT SHOP SCENE
OF GAY SPRING PARADE

The Elko Hat Shop was the scene
of gay promenade last evening, an
nouncing the prevailing styles in
spring millinery. The parlor was
decorated in palms and American
flags. A very good program was
given throughout the evening, con-
sisting of an opening address by Mrs.
E. F. Netzer on spending Your
Money in Bemidji and Boosting Your
Home Town." several vocal selections
by Miss Helyn Wilson, and number
of we'll rendered violin selections by
Mr.. Mortz, accompanied by Miss
Riley. A long runner was built from
the front entrance the full length of
the room back to the work rooms,
on which the models could be dis
played to good advantage.
The first one hundred ladies who
arrived were given tickets bearing a
girls name, which entitled them to a
chance of winning the SIS hat which
! was given away. Miss Arvilla Ken
field placed name of her own choice
in a sealed envelope and pinned it
| in the hat, and the lady having the
! lucky name, peggy" proved to be
Mrs. Edward Kramer, and she re-
ceived the hat.
The young ladies who acted as
models were Misses Louise McCready,
Ruby Leet, Francis McManus, Hazel
Laqua, Arvilla Kenfeld, Miss Kirk
and Mrs. R. C. Norcross. Little Miss
Gladys Coole and little Miss Mar
jorie Roman were very attractive
models for children's spring bonnets.
The parlors were crowded from 1880
to 9:15 o'clock, and over two hun
dred hats were shown, in Cellophine,
Batavia, Upper and Hair Braid, all
of which are the key note of the
New York styles.
The merchants Of the city were
unable to cooperate in their usual
way, owing to the fact that their
spring garments have not arrived
yet, but the Garment Shop, O'Leary-
Bowser Co. and the J. C. Penney Co.
contributed some good numbers in
spring sports coats, in tweed and

CHINA IN MARKET FOR HATS:

The manufacture of hats in Chi
ma is expected to become an impor-

native styles. More than 100000
rush hats are exported each year
from Ningpo to the United States.
A hat of good quality is being made
in Szechwan of palm-leaf fiber. The
extensive manufacture Of straw braid
in Shantung will lead to the manu-
