ing Crime Wave.

Enter the Blackthorn Brigade!
And woe betide the bold banditti

Here's the why and wherefore Of
the brigade:
The much press-agented crime
wave sweeping the country has
made everybody put on the we'll
known thinking cap. Who can tell
what moment a modern Dick Tur-
pin will dismount from his trusty
motorcar, stick an up-to-date
blunderbuss under a pedestrians
nose and in melodramatlc tones de-
mand his money or his life?
What comeback has the poor
pedestrian? He Is not permitted
to tote a "gat," nor is he allowed to
pack a billy" But the law says
nothing specifically about the black
thorn walking sticks.
A clever individual hit upon the
idea of organizing a Blackthorn
Brigade. There are no membership
dues. Any person who possesses
the club made famous by Harry
Lauder is eligible to join. All he
has to do is carry the stick and
use IT when held up by thugs.

MORE ORPHANS TO
SEE love LIGHT"
Manager Beatus to Greet Times
Charges Again Tomorrow at
Palace Theater.

Owing to the extremely cold
weather and the fact that quarantine
prevails in two of the city's orphan
ares, none of the parentless Soys and
girls in these institutions was able
to accept the invitation of The Wash
inrton Times and Manager Beatus of
Ioew's Palace Theater to attend the
showings Of 1.-THE Love Light" at that
playhouse today.
A number of other orphans-small
groups of children under the care OF
individual observation-disclosures the
performance this morning and con-
fessed themselves immensely delight
ed with Mary Pickford's best picture.
As on the two previous days, Manager
Beatus gave each orphan a large box
OF candy and fruit, provided by
Walter Brownley, maker of Brown
ley's Health Candies, at 1902 + street,
adjoining Loew's Palace Theater.
The little orphans eagerly grasped
the large boxes of goodies and en-
joyed the refreshments while watch
ing the humorous and appealing film.
Manager Beatus was delighted that
so many orphans were brought to his
playhouse by the guardians. He is
eager that every orphan In Washing
Ton, WnetneT In an lnStltutlOn OF uot'

plays the, role of an orphan in "The
Love Light" but makes a desperate
and successful struggle In the pic

guardians OF orphans should present
themselves and thsir charges at
Ioew's Palace Theater, and Manager
Beatus will be glad to do the honors.
Tomorrow morning the schedule OF
The Washington Times orphan party
will be resumed. Several score
parentless boys and girls will witness
the showinRs of THE Love Light" then !:
another large contingent will attend
the performances Friday, while Satur-
day will be the big day. when about
400 orphans at Loew's Palace Theater
will be in complete control of the
playhouse. Most of the orphans at
tend school sessions, and for that rea-
son Saturday was deemed most con-
yonient for them to attend THE Love
Light"
