f|BR0KEN BLOSSOMS" TO.
 BE REPEATED TONIGHT

Every art has it's golden age, bring ing those wondrous works that live on through all the years. And it seems that golden age has dawned for the newest of all arts-the motion picture screen The master artist of the screen has brought to us a creation of such exquisite wonder and beauty, of such haunting charm and purity, that all else seems as of yes terday.
 D. w. Griffith's Broken Blossoms, 5 taken from a story by Thomas Burke, is at once the most pitiful, most trag is, and withaI, the most sublime love story ever told. And in the telling the master, Griffith, has wrought such rare and undreamed of beauties that a new art, full, rich, boundless is revealed.
 The musical accomplishment, ren dered by MT. Fairman, is the crown ing, perfect touch. The wierd Orien tai fantasies, delicate, dreamlike the rich harmonies pealing out like temple bells, the love song of the lily, the harsh note of hate; these fol low the unfolding scene, enhancing their beauty and intensifying theil appeal, until we are swept out, upor a sea of music, into the land o1 dreams.
 Broken Blossoms is repeated fol the last time tonight.
 l On Friday and Saturday nights Enid Bennett in a role that is new and pleasing, 'The Vamp.." Now there are different kinds of vamps, good bad and indifferent, and after seeing Enid, the little assistant wardrobe mistress, in her first attempt at en <; ticing the wary male along the prim rose path, you'll all agree that Enit is pretty good 1itte vamp.

CATION of the channel in ST. Andrews
bays with a view to It's Improvement
has just been made to the board of
engineers for rivers and harbors as
directed by congress in the last rivers
and harbors bill. The report shows
that the district engineer recommended
channel twenty five feet wide
throughout. The division engineer, the
superior of the district engineer, rec
olamended a depth of twenty eight
feet and width of $50 feet from the
gulf to the east end of Hurricane island
and twenty six feet deep and two hun
dred feet wide inside Hurricane is
land.
After conferring with the river and
harbors board about the report Con-
gresham Smithwiclx communicated
with the people in the vicinity of St.
Andrews hay with the result that it
had been decided to provide a commit
tee Of citizens to appear before the
rivers and harbors board here on
Jan. 27, to urge adoption of the larger
project recommended by the division
engineer. It is hoped that if the
committee is able to convince the
board that the division engineer is
correct in his estimate that the item
viii be included in the next rivers and
harbops appropriation bill TO be re-
ported to the house at an early date.
Congressman SmithwiclS has been
urging all the speed possible in deal

tain favorable consideration OF the
project and have it included in this

Rio Janeiro, November 30.-Transfer
of the federal capital from Rio de
Janeiro to the high plateau lands in
the state of Goyaz in the interior of
Brazil within five or six years is the
aim of a project introduced in the
federal senate yesterday. The Brazil
ian constitution already provides for
the transfer and the present measure
is intended to hasten the move.
The plans contemplate a modern
city with all latest improvements and
hygienic installations, built in accord
ance with approved town planning
ideas, with a government house, a ma
tional congress building, a palace OF
justice, public department buildings.
schools libraries. theatres, a peniten-
tiary, a hospital. barracks, markets,
post offices, telegraph and telephone
offices, etc.
It is also provided the government
should take measures for the construc-
ton OF new railways or the prolonga-
ton of existing ones, to link the new
capital with the different state capi-
tails.
No estimate is made in the measure
as TO the cost.

eran Of "moonshine" history for twen-
ty-five years and nemesis of draft
