Just snatch here and there I have
 jotted down in the foregoing lines from I.ongfellow's beautiful poem "Evange- line" which. with "Hawatha," recalls the happy schoolgirl days of many of
 us, these two poems being more generally
 used than any others to introduce school children to metrical literature.
 Nothing is free from the movies" these days-neither poems, novels. history, or people-and "Evangeline" is one of the
 latest results, and has proven to be suc- cessfully adaptable to the cinema, since 1t offers such wonderful possibilities in scenic effects, as well as story. "The Raven.' which Henry B, Wal thall made famous in pictures, is an other of the classics which has lent itself admirably to the screen. and 'Evangellne' is worthy successor to this beautiful poem.
 In "Evangeliner the text of the poem has been followed very closely in the scenario, and the revered New England poet will never turn over in his grave" with any sort of fear and trembling over the story which has been woven for the cinema out of his beautiful classic.
 An attractive feature of the picturized ''Evangeline" is that the sub-titles are quotations from the familiar poem or ex- tracts from speeches made by the Eng fish governor of Halifax at the time of the Acadian deportations.
 Just slight bit of comedy is introduced by the director, Mir. R. 4. Walsh, and
 this Is merely a fash
 Pictorialy the cinema version of Evan geline' is remarkably beautiful; seldom has "costume" picture been invested with such life and reality; the group ings' of the picture reach a high artis- tic level and prove the director has fine eye for composition and effect. Every scene is one of unusual pictorial
 beauty, and the photography, which is extraordinarily soft and pastel-lilse, is a. credit to the artists who did it.
 In taking the pictures for "Evangeline." Mir. Walsh the director, has wandered
 as far as Evangeline herself, first in the

ARMY TRUCKS TRAVEL
ACROSS j. S. CONTINENT

"A valuable addition TO United States
military history has just been contrib
uted by an Army Truck Convoy in the
completion OF 1000 mile transcon-
tinental journey from Baltimore to-
the western coast.
The ocean 10 ocean expedition was
undertaken by the War Department 10
stimulate interest in system of ma
tional highways across the country.
and followed the route of the Bank
head Highway, the most southerly OF
our transcontinental routes. Rirector
general j. A. Rountree, of the Bank
head Highway, accompanied the cara
van.
Officially the trip started at Wash
lington, D. c.. and ended at Los An
geles, but the convoy actually started
from Baltimore with San Francisco as
its final destination. The expedition
disbanded in the bay city after deliver
ing its equipment to the ordnance de-
partment at the Presidio.
Forty eight vehicles made the start
from the city on Chesapeake Bay--32
motor trucks, motorcycles and 6 pas
lsenger cars. The motor trucks and
motorcycles were driven by men of tho
detachment while the conveys officers
drove the passenger cars.
The cavalcade came through Rich
mond, Raleigh. Charlotte, Atlanta.
Memphis, Little Rock, Texarkana,
Dallas, Fort Worth, Ell Paso, Bisbee.
Tucson, Yuma, El Centre, San Diego,
and Los Angeles to San Francisco over
a route embracing every conceivable
road condition.
Among the main purposes of the
cross country tour was the desire to
obtain first hand evidence concerning
the performance of pneumatic cord
tires on heavy army trucks, and with
this object about half the trucks in the
convoy were pneumatic tire equipped.
Extensive reports were made daily
concerning the. operation of the solid
tired freighters and the trucks wear
ing pneumatics. Based on these daily
records, a comprehensive report Is to
be made later by the commanding Of
ficer to the War Department, showing
the compartive efficiency of the
trucks on these two types of tires.
AS pneumatic tires had never before
figured heavily in tours sof this kind
the officers played safe" and trans
ported large supply of spares for use
| in emergencies. But so little trouble
was experienced with the pneumatic
that whole truck load of spares was
left at FL Pasco, as it was quite evid-
ent no use for them would develop.
! Two large trucks on Goodyear pneu-
i'matics, the B2 and B7 wearing 3Sx7
front and 40xS rear tires, completed
the entire transcontinental pjourney
without a single tire change, arriving
at the coast with the original Mary
land air in the tires.
And despite the exacting road con-
ditions, ranging from southern swamps
to western deserts and rocky noun
tain roads, the tires finished the tour
in fine condition, appearing good for
many more miles of service. In addi-
| ton to the pair of trucks that came
through without tire change, num-
her of trucks on Goodyears came
through with only one or two replace
ments of tire equipment.
Officers and men are unanimous in
their praise of the service rendered

them when the trucks got into diff
cult positions, it would have been i'm
possible to extricate them without

1t is generally agreed that this lat
est of coast to coast motor truck runs

of pneumatic tires TO regular army
