The heayter1'
BY IL.

AT THE ORPHEUM, what was featured
as a big Mack Sennett comedy production
was named Home Talent" Mack must
have had some misgivings himself when
that title was picked. The think looks
just like its name.
1t starts out as tho it were going to be
real thing, with plot 'neverything, but
when it is well started, the idea of plot
is forgotten and the actors drop into the
old slapstick. crockery throwing quips that
have been worked out so long they are
painful, instead of funny. Last nights
crowd laughed twice, and 1 believe l have
not miscounted at that.
The program starts off with some of the
most wonderfully cOlored dog stuff that
has been shown here. 1t is really the fea
ture of the bill.
AT THE GRAND Mary Miles Minter
stars in THE Little Clown" a bit of COM
edy drama written around circus girl.
The production is true as to detail, the
elements
The picture is just chock full of features.
containing some really good dancing steps,
a fox hunt, that looks like real thing,
circus lot and performance that must have
been done by real circus people and, to top
it all off some animal stuff that is no fake
The acting by Miss Minter is on par with
all her former efforts, but the star was
outshown by one of the supporting cast, a
trolled emotion stuff was far above the
average.
AZ THE NOVELTY, the latter part OF
the week We have one of the eleanest bills
and at the same time one of the best bal
anced bills we have seen for long time.
There is not quite enough dance steps to
make it an ideal program, but then one
cannot have everything.
The opening act-cannot remember its
name and should bechuse it has been here
before-is one of those animated doll
things, composed mostly of singing and
good singing at that, with a bit of COM
edy that gets across. The feature of the
program comes next when Rinehart and
Duff in hoop skirts and crinoline with
a few graceful steps and sweet tho not full
voices show the awful difference between
the melodies of the older days and that
jazz stuff that has nearly ruined Americas
musical ear.
Ell Gotta, who bills himself as a Master
Xylophonist, is more of a comedian, tho
he really is a good musician as shown by
his rendition of the Melody in F." Sol
Burns, a monologuist, proves that one can
actually go out on the stage and talk fiji
teen minutes, score laughs and get return
from "out 'front.' without ''going over the
line for gags.
The bill is completed by a circus act, in
which the trick mule is the chief feature

Consider Gilmore and
Sentiment Divided

EATON, O., Feb. 25.-Counsel for
Craig 3. Gilmore, married man, con-
victed of criminally assaulting Miss
Amy Won Kanel, local school teacher,
expected today to file a motion for q
new trial. The motion had not been
fully drafted for filing Thursday.
The case and the verdict was the
chief topic of conversation here Thurs
day. and it bids fair TO be the foremost
subject for discussion for some time
to come. Public sentiment indisput-
ably is divided, which explains the dis.
cussion. Heated arguments over the
merits and dement's of the case and
the verdict have been publicly in
dulged. Probably not for a. long time
has the local public been so thorough
ly agitated as it is at present.
Future developments in the case are
awaited with an absorbing interest

OFFICIAL DESCRIBES
GERMAN RELIEF WORK

Persecution of the German people is

ENCOURAGEMENT.
BY WALT MASON

The man who holds exalted place
sees grief around. knee deep, and tears
would trickle down his face if he had
time to weep. Because he is shining
mark the knockers seek his trail;
from early morn till after dark they
roar and kick and vail And so the
great mans heart is sore, and life
seems gray and fiat. and oft at night
he walks the floor and wonders where:
he's at. We choose a skipper for our
ship. skipper brave and strong, but
ere he's had chance to skip we show
him where he's wrong. We say ne's
steering for the rocks before he's
under way, and criticisms, sneers and
knocks corfound him day by day. En-
enlargement the skipper courts, and
all he gets is blame; and yet we think
we're dead game sports. who play a
decent game. The man who has a
station high is like Richard Roe; if
he is praised he'll strive and try to
make the business 20. He's just as
human as he was when he was pound
ing sand; his nature doesn't change
because he's foremost in the land.
With honest pride, emotions high, he
feels his bosom swell, when people
rear on end and cry, Good boy,
You're doing WE'LL"

that now are unable to meet the situation
There has been an overlapping of activity, and
constant referring of cases from one agency to
another all of which took up time, to the suffer-
ing and agony of the disabled man who was seek
ing relief.
By decentralizing the administration of serv-
ice, purely local cases can be handled quickly at
home. The red tape that now hinders expedi-
tious service will be cut and local officials, en-
powered to act 80 ahead without waiting
until Washington answers.
More hospital facilities will rebound to the
welfare of every soldier who requires care in a
place where trained surgeons and nurses are in
charge.
Vocational training, compensation, and med
ical relief, which have been handled by different
agencies, WILL if the recommendations are car
red out, be under the administrative jurisdiction
of one body. This will simplify procedure i'm
mensely.
Most disabled soldiers and American legion
posts have maintained all along that more power
should be vested in officials who are at the
places where appeal is made. Under the old
system, minor officials, no matter how well in
formed they are about the particulars of a case,
must wait until some official in Washington acts
on his report and either approves or dsapproves
the recommendation
That this is productive of an interminable
delay can readily be SEEM Reports of field men
pile up on the desks of officials and days elapse
before the case is finally adjusted. So also with
compensation claims. Washington still decides
the degree of disability, based on reports of the
examination returns that have been filed with it.
Competent local boards determine the degree
Of disability just as WELL and their findings would
be just as honest as those which are made in
Washington by men who have not seen the pa
tents and may not be acquainted with all the
details that enter into the claim
The country sincerely hopes that the recon-
mendations of the commission will bring re-
forms. Disabled service men entitled to
speedy adjustment of their claims and to imme-
diate relief.

Prominent fat that comes and stays
where it is not needed is a burden: a
hindrance to activity, curb upon
pleasure. You can take off the fat
where it shows by taking after each
meal and at bedtime. one Marmola

lets are as effective and harmless as
the famous prescription from which

them at one dollar, or if you prefer
you may write direct to the Marmola
