ITS CLEANUP DAY.

How many people think of Friday ss the day when thought of the hu- man mind turns to GodlinesS Friday is the day of preparation for every good living man and woman who will attend Divine service on Sun day.
 Many forget in the midst of these strenuous times that "cleanlineSs is next to Godliness." Nevertheless a clean mind and a clean body go to- gether, for it is an axiom in Welfare Work that the clean body drives out thought of immortality.
 Those who would prepare them selves for church services on Sunday with the least exertion and the most assurance may wait until midnight and then take a Turkish Bath at the Atlas Baths, where they also may rest for the night if they so desire. Many already are doing this. It becomes a practice when the luxury and ease has been fully experienced.

e'The 'Plunger,'' a William Fox pie ture starring George Walsh, which tells an exciting story of Wall Street, assumes g. multiplied interest because of the recent explosion in Wall Street, which damaged the famous business home of J. P. Morgan & O., the U. s. Sub-Treasury and other buildings in the heart of New Yerk's financial district, besides causing a heavy loss of life. The P1unger'' is at the Plaza theatre.

 It was reported that the Walsh company had quilted the neighbor- hood, after Completing the necessary shots, only a short time before the explosion occurred. An exciting story, for which the Wall Street at- mosphere was used as a basis, is said to give Walsh full scope for his remarkably dynamic energy.

MAKING TITLES
 QUITE ASTUNT

The making of sub-titles for the conversation" in motion pictures is one of the most interesting things in connection with the industry
 First the artist must design his backgrounds, either modelling them in clay on a miniature stage. or drawing them out on large squares of card board. Then the artist must letter for his Sub-titles, the words which are used in the conversation of the actors on the screen. These are on separate cardboard. Then the actual work of photography begins. First the back grounds are placed before the camera and the camerman grinds off the re- quired footage and runs the finn back to where he started. Then the letter ed card is placed berore the camera and the film which he ran through before is exposed again. Then the film is developed and the finished subtitle is ready for the screen.
 Most of the large motion picture organizations have from 10 to IF artists working on the actual making of sub-titles alone.

THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.

She would not put the gold star
in her window, for her son was
only missing. Some day, she thinks,
he will return. His comrades came
back, most of them-and in their
Legion post they speak of him as
dead. But his mother will not put
the gold star in the window.
This fall she is running the farm
alone. The war is receding. Last
fall only few neighbors came to
help her, and two years ago the
Legion boys just back from the war
came out from town in a great truck
to gather and shuck her corn. Now
they have their own problems. But
in 1918, when the news that her boy
was missing came, the whole town
ship gathered to help her with her
fall work and the Gazette" printed
an item about the fine neighborly
spirit of it, and moralized upon the
way the war was lifting us out of
ourselves, and, in spite of its cruel
ty and barbarism, was teaching us
the divine habit of fellowship.
That was to be the foundation of
the new haven and the new earth:
that was Gods gift to men for the
pain and wrack of the war-three
years ago.
She likes to tell about the way he
hummed and whistled in the spring
four years ago. He rode his wheel
into town and back every evening
three miles each way-that spring.
The town was deeply excited. The
meetings, the drives, the British
soldiers and the French coming to
town to tell of the war, the Presi-
dents great messages, the atrocities,
the fear of the rule of kings, the
vision of a war to end all wars set
the boys heart athrob. So he hum
med and whistled about his work.
and his mother could feel the rise
OF tide in his soul. At the last
she says it was just one tune that
buzzed upon his lips, the old Sun
day school verse that sings:
! gave, gave My blood for thee,
What hast thou given for Me?
Over and over, during the week of
the Red Cross drive when the town
was a caldron of emotion, the boy
kept humming that tune and whist
ling it about the house, around the
barn, and as he stalked across the
fields.
And then-it had to happen. He
came home one evening an enlisted
soldier. She was proud. How high
she held her head in the neighbor-
hood! And in hose days how
proud the neighborhood was for her
and of her who had given so exalt-
eddy for Gods peace on this earth.
When the news came that he was
missing, we all told her that he was
not dead. Indeed, our faith in the
Immortality Of his conservation kept
