Bath Times.-Elmer E. Parkman,
chief inspector of the Public Utilities
Commission, was in town Wednesday
at the request of the chamber of COM

Cooks crossing. Some members had
suggested that the underbrush was
growing SO tall that a clear view
of the track towards Bath was not
available for autoists from this city
over the State road. Mr.. Parkman
found that the law was compiled
with in every particular, but sus-
gested that some of the growth along
INC runway might De removed 10

pointed out that the law requires
a speed of ten miles an hour over a

this speed was maintained, there
would be little danger at this point.

ONE CASE WHERE

Colonial theatre to be packed both in
the afternoon and in the evening.
| Mary MacLaren herself stands out as
one of the most beautiful and capa-

camera. The play is decidedly diff

has yet played: it is a strong, human
drama that has an appeal that goes
straight to the heart and arouses the
sympathy of even the most calloused.
Then, too, Miss MacLaren is support

TOM0MIX IN
1.-THE DARE DEVIL"
HIS OWN PLAY

Tom Mix. greatest of all cowbo,
actors, will be at the Colonial theatre
on Monday. Augusta people have
become thoroughly familiar with his
work as an actor and doer of thrilling
stunts. Now. in THE Dare Devil
the William Fox star, makes his de-
but as author and director, for he
acted. wrote and presented this
thrilling production. 1t is story Of
the great untamed West interpreted
as a real westerner thinks it should
be acted.
This factmovng and thrilling
story tells how the son of a rich ia :
Their made good and won the girl of
his heart.
NO man ever fought harder. took
greater chances, accomplished more
daring deeds than docs Tim Atkinson,
perfectly played by Tom Mix. to win
the hand of Alice Spencer.
In the role of the heroine Eva No
yak is most efficient. She shares with
her hero lover the thrills and the
dangers, and when at last the bandits
and desperadoes are vanquished, they
have indeed literally done the i'm
possible"
Galloping along beside a freight
train moving at the rate of so miles
an hour, Mix shoots the lock from the
door. grabs his sweetheart, swings
her to the back of the horse, and
jumps on the train while the girl
dashes madly for the sheriff.
This is one of the most thrilling
stunts that this young author actor
director does.
There are others. too. equally
thrilling, and from the opening flash
to the final fadeaway there is not a
moment that is not full Of tense ac-
ton or screaming comedy.
In addition to the Mix production.
there will be a two-reel comedy. a

Victorian Romance

r. I IS the~weakness Of those who

to Powered waistcoat and squsnder
all their stiffcning on the heroines
crinoline. She!la Ksye-Smith has not
committed the common error Of con-
fusing the picturesque with tho roman
tic in her novel, "Tamarisk Town" (E.
P. Dutton). She has made romance
out Of a genuinely poetic idea.
In the early sos Edward Monypenny,
grave young squire Of Marlingate, had
a dream Of transforming the town from
an obscure fishing village into fash
ionable wstering-place. He would push
back the woods which encroached upon
it on one hand and curb the sea which
pressed it on the other hand by a prom
enade, and put out OF sight the nets.
symbols Of Marlingate's primitive past.
He had an idea Of elegance-eleganc
in the stiff and ponderous fashion Of
the sos, but with something of time
less cropping FOR civilization in it. His
passion for the town is contested by
his love for a woman, a strange, pas
sionate girl with bar sinister on her
birth-and she becomes for him sym
bolical Of the elemental, threatening
thing from which she sought to free
his town.
The later part Of the story is some
what overweighted with recurrent ref
erences to the legend OF Morgan le

What Englishmen Are Reading
International Good Feeling Is Advanced by

Later he had less to say against his own
countrymen, but by that time he had be-
come Briton in everything except ac-
tualfy swearing allegiance to the King.
When he decided to become British
subject few months before his death
he wrote that he was living partly in
dark abysses and partly in high, and
think noble, elations." Forty years
earlier he had written of the English,
"they are, for me, the great race-even
at this hour Of their possible decline"
His last years were crowded with
pathetic incidents. His financial
failure, his break with Wells, his
choice Of Britain in preference to his
native land, are but few Of the out
standing events in James's last days.
He had host Of British admirers and
his letters are now being widely read,
but in some ways the last lap Of his
life seems 'singularly pathetic and dis

New-York tribune., 1920-05-30

Ludendorff and Won Tirpitz, not BY
any political clairvoyance Of Woodrow
Wilson.
There is considerable justification for
the Presidents position. The people Of
the United States did not want war
after the sinking of the Lusitania; they
proved it by reelecting Wilson on a
kept us out of war" platform in 1916.
But Professor Dodd overstates the
case when he pictures Wilson as an
infalible prophet who surely and stead
lily guided America to the ACCOMPLISH
ment Of her manifest destiny in the war.
1t is probably true that Wilson has
been made the target ofamuch unrea-
sonable criticism during the last eight
cen months. No statesman at the
peace conference has emerged with his
reputation altogether unscathed. And
Wilson, by his statements during the
war, had raised medley Of conflicting
hopes and aspirations, none OF which
could be completely realized AS a re-
suit he was subjected to barrage
of contradictory criticisms, proceeding
from diametrcally opposed sources. But
Professor Dodd, in his eagerness to
vindicate the President, frequently lays
himself open to the charge Of inconsis-
tency. He describes Wilson as the
champion OF new order against the
graceless imperialism of Clemenceau.
Yet he berates Mr.. Bullitt for resigning
from the Peace Commission because
Clemcnceau's influence was too visible
in the final terms of the treaty
Despite its partisansnip and its lack
of objective spirit Professor Dodd's
biography is by no means without value.
1t presents connected narrative Of
Wilson's career from boyhood to the
present time, and it interprets Ameri-
can political history Of the last genera
ton from the viewpoint Of Bryan
Democrat. 1t is a work that the Presi-
dents friends will like to read and
admire, and that his enemies will like
to read-and abuse
