ATTENTION, Ex-SERVICE MEN

When the Clean Up Squad reaches
Columbia, S. c., on September % to
get action on the claims of veterans
Of the World War, it's biggest prob
lem will be to get in touch with every
ex-service man in this territory, who
has right to governmental compen-
sation.
The Squad is composed of experts
from the various government bureaus,
the Red Cross and the American Le-
gion. They are familiar in every de-
tail with the workings of the War
Risk Insurance Act, and various fea-
lures Of the different plans Of hospital
treatment, medical care and rehabili-
tation work in general. AS soon as
they establish personal touch with
the veterans, they are prepared to put
machinery in motion at once to get
for them what is coming to them from
the government. In this work they
have every assurance Of whole heart
ed cooperation by the authorities in
Washington.
The plan Of campaign Of the squad
conten1plates the avoidance of lengthy
correspondence and annoying, time
killing red tape, by getting at first
hand all information as to each indi-
idual veterans case and the machin-
cry is we'll oiled to get results once it
is put in motion.
However, the greatest problem that
confronts the workers is the establish
ment Of personal contact with the
men they would serve. Many Of the
veterans, in lots Of cases, those most
deserving of governmental aid, are
illiterates. They don't understand
even the meaning of compensation" +"
'reha bilitation'' and vocational
training" Many are located in iso-
lated districts where a newspaper is
rarely seen.
These men would be tremendously
anxious to get the benefits of the aid
that the government is glad to give,
if they knew that the Squad is right
at their doors to get it for them.
For this reason, the members of the
Squad ask that everyone who knows
Of an ex-service man who may be
entitled to aid, get in touch with him
and inform him as to when and where
the squad will be, and as to what the
Squad is anxious to do for him. Squad
headquarters will be glad to receive
any information as to any veteran and
will use every energy to get in touch
with him during it's stay in Columbia.

FINE SCENE SETTINGS
REVEALED ARTISTICAILY
IN THE "FOOTLIGHTS'i

That people can be Judged by
their homes, whether it be many
roomed mansion, with dozen
baths, or a two-by-four, skylight
room in q shabby boarding house,
is an accepted fact. Something of
the personality of the inhabitants
will pervade the place. Perhaps
that is what makes the settings
so interesting rn "Footlights," a
Paramount picture starring Elsie
Ferguson, that comes 70 the "B"
theater today, for a run of three
days.
In this picture of an American
girl, who impersonates a Russian ac &.
tress and as sucn becomes famous,
the settings tell a story in them
selves. The living room of Lisa
Parsinova, as she is known to the
world, is furnished in true Russian
style. The smallest accessory
shows that Lisa Parsinova has
been accustomed to every luxury.
The bed room of this same
apartment tells quite another story.
'The room shows the character of
the actress as she is away from the
demands put upon her by the pub
lie. Simplicity and refinement are
the dominant notes. The furniture
is Colonial, the hangings are chinz
and the curtains are of net. Should
anyone be permitted to glance into
this room, the secret of the true
Identity of the actress would be
revealed.
So the American girl, who could
so easily assume the role of Rus
sian, combines her two personali-
ties successfully in her apartment.

moulded the features of 10 and the
mans work she had done had Civ
On her face a masculine sternness,
her character a masculine rugged
ness. But her fine eyes, her lus-
trous hair and her warm. generous
heart were totally feminine.
Winning her way by the work of
her hands through a slough of
debts to the heights of financial in
dependence, Mamselle 10 is en-
abled at last to carry out the long
suppressed wish of her motherly
heart and adopt child. Especial
ly dear to the starved maternal in
stinct is Donelle, fair. slight, eth
ereal, because of the indefinable
suggestion about her of her father,
whom Mam'selle 10 had loved in
her own youth.
Donelle, in keeping with the
spirit of the story herself sacrifices
great career for the sake Of the
only mother she has ever known
and finds love. Tom Gavor makes
the supreme sacrifice for his coun-
try. All these are real, flesh and
blood people---people American au-
diences could not help but love.
Seldom has such remarkable
cast as Mr. Cashier has assembled
been seen in a photoplay. Rose
Dione, as Mam'selle 10. gives one
of the most brilliant character
studies ever seen on the screen AS
an actress in France, Mile. Dione
attained wide prominence. but it is
as screen player that she prom
ises to attain the heights OF star
dom.
As Donelle, a dramatic figure in
"Silent Years" Pauline Starke also
wins high laurels. Miss Starke al
ready has given ample proof of her
great ability on the screen. Suffice
to say she Is at her best in Mr..
Cashiers latest production. Others
of note who play important parts
are Tully Marshall, George M'Dan-
iel, George Seigman. Will Jim Hat

WOOD LAUNCHES
4 HEALTH DRIVE
IN PHILIPPINES
Starts Campaign to Teach
Natives How to Avoid
and Combat Diseases
Which Sap Their Vitality.
Dy The Associated Press,

Manila, 2. l., Dec. Ex-Governor
General Wood has started an in
tensive campaign to improve
health conditions in the Philippines
islands by teaching the people how
to avoid and combat the most COM
mon diseases which sap the vitality
of the country. He has instructed
the director of the Philippine health
service to prepare circular set
ting forth the causes of various
disea SEES and the methods which
can be used to prevent them and
stamp them out. The circulars are
to be posted in public places in
every municipality of the islands,
and are to be read to every class
in the public schools throughout
the archipelago.
1--WE must spare no effort to I'M
prove general health conditions in
the islands," said General Wood.
1--WE must especially pay attention
to the need for combating infant
mortality. We must avoid unneces-
sary wastage of life"
Addressing the women's clubs of
Manila, General Wood said; Poll
tics has been ana still is being
played against human life, but we
are going to stop 1t here in the
Philippines. We must have a cen
tralized control Of the sanitary
system of the islands, one that will
act without political hamperings
We need more hospitals throughout
the islands, we need more nurses
throughout the provinces.
"Two-thirds of the babies who
die in infancy could be saved. One
third of all babies born, die in the
first year and two-thirds of these
deaths are preventable. The sani-
tary system is responsible for many
of the deaths. Undernourished
mothers form the second great rea-
son for the many deaths, and too
much polished rice is the chief rea-
son for undernourished mothers.
More meat and vegetables and un-
polished rice should be eaten
Governor General Wood men
toned four necessities for better
living:
First-More hospitals throughout
the provinces.
Second--More dispensaries in the
provinces.
Third-Better distribution of
medicines.
Fourth-Additiona nurses in the
islands.

ridge, in charge Of polio, liquor
raiding squads.
Their activities are largely d.
vided into two general categories
hunting out and destroying stills
and making arrests In soft drink
parlors" which are violating the
law by liquor sales. Most of the
latter places are former saloons,
where the old Opaque or curtained
windows still insure considerable
privacy to those inside. The stills
are found in all sorts of places,
from caves in the ground to apart
ment houses A favorite device of
the Illicit distiller is the construc-
ton of small secret rooms, entrance
to which is skillfully concealed.
In q tenement house recently
raided here. two such rooms were
discovered. New partitions had
been built and two small rooms,
only about six feet in width, were
discovered. Each still room had
two entrances. one from a corridor.
in which a wainscoated panel slid
up to give access, and one through
a hole cut in the wall of an adjoin-
ing room, with the wall paper neat
ly matched around and over the
aperture. Entrances were then con-
cealed behind pieces of furniture.
A third still room was in process
of construction on the same floor
and a fourth in the basement of the
building. All tenants denied any
knowledge of the rooms, in which
the stills and barrels of mash were
found. One man living in the house
was placed under arrest, however.
Often, according to the officers,
it is necessary to work for hours
before discovering still. even aft
err the officer is certain, from the
faint odor of corn whiskey or mash
and from the muffled sound of
dripping, that still is in operation.
Dimensions of corridors arr meas
ured, and dimensions of rooms fac
ing the corridor are measured. If
they do not coincide the 'hooch
sleuth" looks for a hidden room.
Almost an equal amount of in
genuity is often necessary to dis
cover the cache" of hidden liquor
when a liquor selling soft drink
parlor" is raided.
In one place q sliding panel in
the outer wall of big ice box re-
vealed the hiding place of the IL
licit liquor. Proprietor3 of the
place, who had been grinning at
the efforts of the police to locate
the quarry" unsuccessful for fif-
teen minu' g. looked more serious
then, and a~,nitted you guessed us
that time" False bottoms in emp
ty bottle cases hid the liquor in an
other place.
The liquor ordinarily peddled at !
these places for 25 cents a drink
is either corn whiskey. or a concoc-
