PICTURESQUE BELGIUM SHOWN IN NEW FILM

Belgium as it appears in these glad though pathetic days of the re construction is yividly shown in the big picture, Whom the Gods Would Destroy" the First National feature to be shown at the Coliseum Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday.

 Dogs are seen dra wing the quaint little carts in which milk and pro- duce are carried. Q portly burgher drives pig through the streets, goats are being herded by the child ren and throughout a succession of scenes one feels the lure of this little country which was made a martyr of German ambition in 1914.

Jump from Bed
 in Morning. and
 Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should esrlnk kot water each morning
 before breakfast

Why is d man ana woman, half the time, feeling nervous, Respondent worried; some days headachy, dIll and unstrung; some days really in capacitated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside bathing, what gratifying change would take place. Instead of thous- ands of half-sick, afaemic-lookine souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rocy-cheeked people every where, The reason is that the hu- man system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it ,accu- mulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of. waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which iare absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, Ybefore the fire will burn bright and bot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous Mays. accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and :swonisri, whether sick or well. are ..asdvised to drink each morning, be- fore breakfast. a glass of real hot swatG With a teaspoonful of lime z,tons phosphate in it, as harmless r1eans of washing out of the stom- ach. liver. kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing.

TOXIC. March 21.-The act of Capt. Z. B. Murray of the American steamer Pawlett in rescuing last year thirteen Japanese fishermen, shipwrccked five hundred miles northeast of Yokohama. which was officially recognized by the Japanese Government, has had sequence, re. ligious in nature.
 Capt. Murray carried tho sailors to Portland, Oregon, and when they returred later to their home villages near Sendai, they never tired of telh ing of the wonders of the big Ameri can city they had seen nor of tho kindness of the commander and his crew who had saved their lives. During the trip they Mad learned something of the religion of the people of the United States and of Capt Murray and as a result there sprung up general demand for more knowledge concerning Capt Murray's God. Services, it is re ported, are now being held in the little town regularly. by the Rev, Kobayashi a Baptist minister of Shiogama.

DOUG FAIRBANKS IN A .InZzY SHOW AT COLISEUM


 For those who say there is nothing new under the sun. trip to the Coliseum where Douglas Fairbanks new picture, "His Majesty the Am erican," opened yesterday will be a tonic. It had been thought that MT. Fairbanks had done about every thing that mortal man could do and stay whole. But everybody is wrong
 The picture, in the first place, tells a genuine story. which we are net going to spoil your pleasuse in by telling here. Whether the story is probable or not doesn't matter It is entertaining in a high degree and that is what is sought in theatre. If we want serious. heavy. problem dramas, we do not expect Douglas. Fairbanks to fur nisli them for us. "f1is Majesty the American" is made to amuse and that ist what it does from start to finish. It is bright, snapy and clean-a picture that will delight boys and girls from five to eighty five. n..
 Doug is in the picture--right in the middle of it. from beginning to end, and the things he does and the way he does them leave you suspended midway between nervous prostration and love for his down right daring and ever present smile.
 One starts with him in wild and delirious nightmare, then rush to fire. then to a police raid on an underworld dive. then to Mexico and the border where he cleans up the bandits, then to Europe where he takes a hand at bossing a revolu- tion
 All in all, His Majesty the Ameri- can" scores and and scores heavily, It is about as much honest whole some fun as can be contained in one film. It is on the bill tonight for the last time at the Coliseum Thea tre

CORONA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY Z, 1921

ter towns are envying Cordova the possession of what will soon be known throughout the length of the Alaskan coast, as the home of good music and all that's best in the way of entertainment.
 A vote of thanks is due Captain Lathrop, as well, for having brought Cordova the best dance music it has ever enjoyed. The demand was here, and the capacity for appreciation, but never before have we had any thing to compare with the four piece Empress orchestra that supplied the music last Saturday night. The spirit, and life. the jazz and pep of the wonderful music added the crown ing touch to happy evening.
 Until final completion of the cab aret, with the installation of soda fountain, chairs and tables. etc, the hall will be used for dances on We'd nesday and Saturday nights.

NEW JAP BATTLESHIP
 IS ONE OF LARGEST

TOKYO, Feb. z (by Associated Press) s).-Japan's latest battleship Ma. gato has a deadweight tonnage of 33,S00 and can develop a speed of 23 knots per hour. Her length is 66O fet. The armament of the new ad. dition to the Japanese fleet includes eight 15-inch guns and twenty 6-inch guns. She is fitted with four tur- bine engines. The Nagato takes a place among the largest battleships afloat today, her 33.SOO tons compar- ing with the British Hood, 41,000 tons and the American Tennessee, 32,000 tons.
 Admiral Tochinai, the commander of the first squadron, said that the Nagato is unique not only in size, but also as regards her equipment. Her main mast is built in the form of a tower and the range finder has been so devised that 1t can fire at an enc. my very far off.

LARGE CROWD AT OPENING
 OF CABARET

The opening of the Empress cab aret Saturday night was marked by one of the most enjoyable parties ever given in Cordova. Its compile tion has been the subject of gen eral interest. Many and various have been the rumors and reports concerning it. But when the great glass entrance doors were thrown open to the public last Saturday, the guests of the evening were greeted with a surprise for which few were prepared. Much was expected but even more was realized.
 A beautiful stairway leads to the main room, with it's wonderful dance floor and its raised dias which later will be occupied by tables. The corner reserved for the soda foun- tain soon to be installed, was used temporarily Saturday by the orches- tra stand. The lofty ceiling adds an air of dignity, and the size, extent and beauty of the main dancing room must be seen to be appreciated
 Quite as attractive in it's way, but more cozy, is the smaller banquet or social hall, leading from the large room. This can be used in connec- tion with the main room, for danc- ing or it is convenient as in tha case Saturday evening, for the ser vice of the dainty buffet supper which formed part of the enter tainment
 This smaller room may be entirely closed from the rest of the cabaret. and in connection with the adjoining completely equipped kitchen, may be reserved at any time for club, lodge or private social affairs. The need of such a hall suitable for entertaining has long been felt, and we predict that it will afford decided stimulus to the social life of the town.
 In completing the Empress cabaret. Capt. Lathrop has given Cordova the unique distinction of being the only town of its size, probably in the world, that can boast so large and beautifully appointed place of this character, Certainly there is nothing in Seattle today to compare with it. and we modestly admit that our sis.

EARTHQUAKES SHOULDN'T BE
 CAUSE ALARM

] CAMBRlDGE, MaSS,, FeD. tDy AS sociated Press) The epidemic of l earthquakes that shook the world in several widely separated sections in recent weeks contains no cause for general alarm; they are only the growing pains of the newer geologic formations and old Mother Earth her self at heart is still sound and solid. This, in effect, is the reassuring statement of Prof. J. B. Woodwork, who is in charge of the Harvard Seismographic station, as prepared for the Associated Press.
 Earthquakes have a way of oc- curing in series, he said, and the world has merely been suffering from another of these periodic strings of convulsions in the shocks report ed from Albania, China and Peru. As matter of fact there are a score of earthquakes strong enough to be felt or registered somewhere in the world every "A hours, but only a small proportion of them are serious. Some are so small that they would not be realized but for the sensitive ness of instruments. To indicate the fine perceptions of these instruments, Prof, Woodwork said that in times of severe storms at sea the crash Of the surf on the rocky coast of NeWfound land is registered at the seismographic laboratory here.
 "The quakes that shook China and South America during December were not the same, but separate shocks" said Prof. Woodworth "Geologists all know that earthquakes are like ly thus to come in groups. For ex- ample, in the year 1755 the city of Lisbon in Portugal was destroyed by an earthquake on November 1, while on the 18th of the same month Bos. ton was severely shaken. The diffi- culty is that there is no way of tell. ing exactly when or where they will | occur If one serious quake occurs, we may predict that others are like. " to follow it, but that information is of little practical value since we cannot tell how long the epidemic will last, what the interval between the quakes will be, or in what mart or the earth they will occur.
 The eastern part of the United States is not often visited with severe earthquakes. The only severe ones felt hereabouts since New England was settled were in 163S, in 1727. and in l755, with a much lesser one in 1872.
 "The shock of 1727 was so vigorous that sermons were preached on "A Holy Fear of God and His Judgments' and day of fasting and prayer was observed. The shock in 1755 brought ooWn 1900 chimneys and the gable ends of brick houses in Boston. But the really large earthquakes are in the portions of the earth such as Ja- pan' the East Indies, Alaska, and the Pacific ocean floor, where inc mountains are new geologically, and where the rocks are moving. Vol canic regions are often identical with earthquake regions, but great earth. quakes show no immediate connac- tlon with volcanoes.
 About twenty earthquakes strong enough to be felt or registered oc. cur every day in the year some where in the world( but only a very small proportion of these are seri. ous' The Harvard seismograph regis. tefs some eighty earthquakes a year. chlefly distant ones from 2Oo0 to 5000 miles away"
