stockings, mend and iron their own
clothes. wash their own hair, and dc
other things which their mothers have
been doing for them.

letter as a birthday message:

Camp Fire Girls:
Nothing is more beautiful than your
law framed as with blue mountains by
these two sovereign precepts. Seek
beauty and Be Happy. On no account
abandon them. They are the most nee
essary, because they are the least un-
derstood Defend them with more
energy than the others, because they
are the most unjustly criticised.
May they remain the living symbol
of your young and knightly army.

At THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Nazimova. the brilliant Russian star.
in her newest production, Stronger
Than Death, is announced by the man
agement of the Republic Theatre as
the special attraction for tonight
and tomorrow, for a run of days. The
presentation of this great artistic in
great photodrama is described as a
particular treat for motion picture
goers.
In Stronger Than Death" Nazim-
ova returns to powerful emotional
roles after her clever impersonation of
the chorus waif in her perturbation of
Maude Fulton's Marosco stage play.
The Brat" Nazimova is cast as Sig,
rid. London music Hall dancer. who
finds love in the almost wilderness of
India, whittier she goes for rest.
The story is an adaptation by Chas.
Bryant of |. A. r. Wylie's brilliant
novel of Anglo-Indian life. 1t is said
to be replete with thrills and COMPEL
ing dramatic elimaxes that grow out of
an abortiye mutiny and massacre of the
English planned by the fanatical Hin
du natives.
Nazimova's biggest scene is her
dance on the steps of the temple-a
weird dance in the Moonlight which
strikes awe and terror to the hearts of
the blacks, and causes them to delay
their uprising until the British garri-
son comes to the rescue of the civilian
of Gaya. Her sacrifice is
rewarded by the devotion of the her
nit doctor. the strong male figure in
the tense drama.

Mayor George R. Lunn. of Schen-

The adoption of the unit rule for

similar manner. The wine and beer
resolution follows:
I'VE heartily approve of the
abolition of the saloon and are un-
alterably opposed to its revival. In
the interests of personal liberty
and the conservation of the rights
of the States we favor legislation
by Congress, allowing the manuiac-
ture and sale for home consumption
of light wines and beers, reserving
to the various States power to fix
any lower alcoholic content thereof
that may be demanded by the peo.
pie of each locality"
A resolution was carried unani-

national platform contain a plank
pledging America to support Italy
in the Fiume matter.
