 So hedieously realistic is this pool on which Norma plunges in a costly and beautiful costume, that the otbsr mem bers of the cast and the extras playing the roles of unfortunates caught in the river of lost souls, hesitated to enter the water until Norma herself plunged in Along with this special feature the third episode of Wheels of Fate.

Mr.. Westlake Certain Wash.
i ington viii Respond to
I Appeal.

10 the Editor Of The Star:
AS the period Of the Salvation Army
home service fund appeal approaches it's
close. it is necessary that a frank state
ment of conditions be made to the
public
For eight days. in sunshine and in
rain. hundreds of Washington's brave,
generous hearted women and girls have
been diligently collecting funds to en-
able the Salvation Army to continue its
operations in the nations capital for
another year They have challenged the
admiration of everybody by their unset
fish and untiring effort
Meanwhile the men OF the city have
not met the situation with like re-
Spouse on their part. The great ma
jority of the large property owners. pro-
fesSional men and business men. seem
to he waiting for some one to visit them
and coax them to contribute to the funr.
While the response has been generous
from many people. il will he necessary
for far greater number to contribute
before the Salvation Army can complete
the great work 1t has started in Wash
ington. ...
This is a critical period in the history
of our government The present unrest
is so fraught with danger that no less a
body than the United States Chamber OF
Commerce. the grea test commercial or
E1nization in the world, has just seen NJ
to indorse the AUGMENTATION plan Of
the Salvation Army. 1t is said to be the
only similar Endorsement OF another
body ever given by the chamber.
Under the circumstances it seems to
me that no loyal citizen of the United
States should wait to be asked to do his
duty No red-blooded man or woman
should either deliberately or carelessly
make harder the task of the men and
women who have undertaken to provide
the Salvation Army with the funds nee
essary TO carry on this important work.
Other cities are making good. and
Washington will. of course. finance its
division of the Salvation Army. regard
less nf the effort necessary to do it: but
if the people of this city will come for
ward. with voluntary offerings. each in
proportion to his ability. the work will
be f.appily completed without delay.
have such confidence in the loyalty
and generosity of the people Of this city
that believe it is only necessary to get

quick and generous response.

Sharing Your Books.

The world Is full of shut-ins, and
there are those who are starving fol
books and papers, but how many OF
US make any effort to search them
out?
A clever article on books which !
lately read annoyed me by explain
ing how stupid is the custom Of Dor
rowing books, and how vastly more
desirable II is for each man to own
his own. / decided that the writer
was a rich man (although my better
judgment should tell me that writer's
seldom are rich), and l decided also
that he IVES missing q lot of good
things II he neither lends nor borrows
books. / believe that a book is about
the pleasantest thing there is to share.
1t produces such a bond Of sympathy
II 1t is enjoyed by a friend, and 1t
provides at olce something worth
while to talk about.
And people do return books, espe-
cially If you put your name and
"please return" inside and remember
where your books are visiting.-Ella

Birds That Burrow.

Persons are not accustomed to think
Of birds as burrowing animals, but the
putin answers to that description. II
is a chunky little fowl, less than a
foot high, with a large and powerful
beak. Fer home it scratches a hole
In the ground sometimes as much as
four feet deep. To capture a putin
one must go digging. 1t is rather a
job; and, inasmuch as the bird bites
and claws fiercely, one is likely to
suffer In the process. Thus the crea-
ture has maintained its numbers on
many a lonely rockery, where other
species Of wild fowl have been killed
of and exterminated.

Spiders as COMPANIONS.

OF all creatures to choose as pets
spiders seem to be the strangest. Yet
many famous men have formed real
friendships with spiders. Beethoven,
when studying the violin at the age Of
seven years, had a spider so accustom-
ed to him that it would crawl on to
his arm while he was practicing. OF
Paganini 1t is said that whenever he
played a certain air on his violin a
spider approached him and stood still
listening until he had finished. Gaetry,
author Of Richard Occur de Lion"
tells Of spiders that used to perch mo-
tionless upon the piano while he
played.
