"THE HIGHEST LAW" IS
LYRIC BILL TUESDAY


THE Highest Lay neY produc-
ton from the SeSznick studios, which
comes TO the Lyric theatre for next
Tuesday. is a photoplay unique in
many respects. 1t contains no sign
OF the conventional villain, the hero"
is nah famous for the LONELINESS
OF his features and well past middle
age, and there is not anything in the
story OF style reproduction that bears
any resemblance to the usual photo
plaf scenario.
Ralph Ince both directed and play
cd the principal role of this Lewis
Allen Browne story and he has turn
ed out production that will be as
appropriate so years from now as it is
today.
The pictured narrative deals with
the love of young Bobby Goodwin for
his mother. He has promised his
elder brothers to take care OF. her and
has kept his word until one day he
was prevented by circumstances be-
Yond his control. In order to keep
his vows he disregatds all man-made
laws and make his way to the little
gray-haired old lady. He is torn from
her side and is about TO suffer dis
grace and death when his case is ac-
cidentally brought before the atten-
tion of one of the greatest humani-
tarians of all time-Abraham Lincoln.
How "Old Abe" disposes of the case
is both typical OF the man and inter-
esting To view.

BY 4. E. HOWE

1t is not reported that strike on
the part of canary. birds and white
mice is contemplated because of the
threat to discharge them; but tuning
sulphuric acid and Iodine pentoxide,
coupled with research ingenuity, may
take from thenAtheir hazardous occu-
patton of detecting the presence OF
monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is the colorless,
odcrless gas which is responsible for
nearly all deaths due to asphyXiation.
1t is the gas which overcomes the
unsuspecting man working in clos
ed garage with his engine running.
1t is responsible for many mine dis
asters. II is sometimes present in
boiler rooms and the holds Of ships.
Extremely small quantities OF this
very poisonous gas are enough to
cause death.
The only Indicators heretofo'e have
have been the canary birds and white
mice. which are more susceptible to
the toxic effects of carbon monoXide
than are humans; but there are some
