HAS
 BOOKED GOOD
 HOLIDAY FILMS

That Empress patrons may begin to enjoy, in anticipation, some of tha special attractions that are to be shown during the holidays, the fol lowing announcement is made of ad. vance bookings:
 On Friday night cnly, Christmas eve, there will be one show, at 8 o'clock. The feature for that night will be Miss Dorothy Gish in Nugget Nell," breezy, rollicking, sparkling farce of the well known "Gish' vari- ety, full of pep, action and whiz.
 On Christmas night, two shows will be given, the first at 7:30 the second at 9 D. m. Mack Sennett's big five reel comedy Down on the Farm will be the Christmas program, and in arranging this the Empress man. agement has selected the picture most sure to please everybody, from the tots to the totterers.
 Down on the Farm" is the best thing that ever came from the stu dios of Sennett, the comedy king. You never saw such a bumper harvest of laughs as you'll gather when watching it. It is played by an all star Sennett cast, including Louise Fazenda, Ben Turpin, Marie Provost, Harry Gribbon, Bert Roach, James Finlayson-and last but not least, the star baby, John Henry, Jr., along with Teddy, the Great Dane, and Pepper, the black cat.
 Remember, Down on the Farm will be shown on Christmas night only.
 On Sunday night only, "The Egg Crate Wallop," the funniest picture that Charles Ray has made up to the present time. It's big story, with big star, with laugh at every turn.
 There are also whispers floating round that Capt" Lathrop has something up his sleeve for the holi- day week, and for New Years night. In fact, he modestly admits he's going to show one of the greatest comedies of the year next week, and that he has the biggest New Years picture booked for New Years night that has ever been shown here. Definite de- tails are lacking-but a word to the wise is sufficient - watch for cap tain's announcements next week.

THIRTY MILLION FEET 0FLUMBER
 FOR XMAS TOYS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (by Asso- ciated Press).-iSome idea of the ex- tent to which foreign made toys have been replaced in America by the home made article is given by the es- innate of the American Forestry As sociation that close to 30,000,000 feet of lumber was used this year by American toy makers.
 By adding the millions of toys made from this wood to the enormous quan- tity made of other materials, the For estry Association says some idea of the immensity of the industry will be gained. If the buying public will Hook for the label" it adds, the for eign toy will be eliminated
 "The main consideration which holds wood in it's place as toy mate rial is not cheapness," says the as sociation, though that has something to do with it. Articles of large size would be too heavy if made of metal, but many articles are made of wood because it is the best, irrespective of cost or weight Sleds are good eX- ample.
 Children are the arbiters of toy kinds and style. They initiate what they see around them and toy mak- CTS recognize this fact. The manu- facturer supplies what the child wants by making a class of objects which may be designated as educa- tional. Another class, initiating things seen in real life, is recognized as architectural. A third has to dc with trades and the tools and ma chimes for carrying them on. A well defined group is based on the use of musical instruments. Boats, rafts canoes, and such things as float and are useful have been responsible fol toys based on water craft.
 Children are familiar with furni- ture and they easily recognize two classes, one for the kitchen and one for the living room, and these go un- der the list of furniture toys. Animals and birds and creeping things form another class grouped as natural his tory. Still another kind which is very common belongs in the class of games and amusements.
 The waste problem in toy making is ,o% {1,n if Association, because most of the pieces used are small and what does not do for one thing will, as a rule, do for something els.

The LONGEST Tunnel.

The longest and largest tunnel In
the world will probably soon be built
under the Hudson river to connect
New York with New Jersey. There
are several tunnels large enough for
railroad train but the new tube I'M
der the river is to be large enough to
allow two or three large teams or au-
tomobiles to run abreast. The tunnel
will be much more than mile in
length and thirty feet or more I'm
diameter. 1t Is estimated that 6.O46
vehicles can pass in both directions
every hour in such q tunnel, which Is
more than twice as many as pass up
and down Fifth avenue, probably the
busiest street today in the world. The
great problem Of the tunnel is to pro-
vide ventilation, since the tube will be
$500 feet long between the ventilating
shafts. Fresh air will be forced In
and the bad air allowed to escape by
an elaborate system of pipes.-BOys'
