LlBAU.

 The Germans are anxious to pre- vent the signing of the treaty prior to the plebiscite, considering that failure by the Poles to complete 1t, would strengthen the German conten- ton that Poland is weak and that a Bolsheyik invasion of Germany is i'm minent Bolshevik delegates are play ing upon the rival interests of the entente power. the Germans and the Poles and prolonging negotiations.

 MT. McSpoof. when but a prattling babe of 37 years. ran away from home to join a circus, and was locked up in the monkey cage for two weeks be- fore the circus folks would believe he did not belong with his relatives He refused to work his way by posing in the side-show as the missing link, and was thrown off the train near Fair bank
 McSpoof wandered around for three days until a family of lizards took him in and raised him. Like Tarzan of the Apes, McSpoof of the Lizards learned all of the habits of his new friends. After living with the lizards for ten years, McSpoof was captured one day by a party of men who were out hunting mastodons. He could talk no lingo but lizard and could not sleep except while lying on a rock ill the sun, but the mastodon hunters ii nally succeeded in tanning him.
 Once more among his own people, McSpOof turned traitor on the lizards who had taken him when he was only 37 years old, and betrayed them- He told the scientists all the secrets ot the lizards-how they were plotting against the people, how they planned some day to capture Tombstone and all the details and plans of the So ciety for Freedom for Lizards. Later, McSpoof tried to get back among the lizards, disguised as a prairie dog. hoping to learn even more of theii plans. He was discovered, however and the lizards tied him to a rock ana sentenced him to De kicked by fifty centipedes, each pede being given five kicks at him with every foot.

"The Tree of Knowledge"

The traditional director of motion pictures carries a big smegsphone and has a loud. buIl-like voice. William C, De Mile, who guided Robert Warwick through The Tree of knowl- edge" coming to the Central theatre tonight and Eagle theatre Thursday night, isn't at all like that You nev- CT know a picture is being made when Mir. De Mile handles the screening. He seldom talks above ordinary con versationaI tones and gets his highly dramatic effects often by mere nod of the head or crook of the finger. At first film players finds his meth ods a bit confusing, but once used to them, they go about their work with a freedom and willing spirit that is reflected in the picture.
 MT. De Mile is d we'll known seen arist and writer for the stage as well as director He is the author of ''Strongheart,' 'The Warrens of Vir- ginia," Classmates" and ''The Wom- an,'. He has recently been writing several motion picture stories that were produced by his talented broth CT, Cecil B. De Mile. Why Change Your Wife?" is the latest of these.

WHY THE AsYLUMs ARE FULL UP

WHY THE ASYlUMS ARE FULL UP
 Some scientist back east has dis
 covered, or says he has, there there
 is another comet loose and that is al-
 most as reckless a driver as MT. Hal
 leys comet of several years ago. This
 new comet, it is said, has MT. Halley's
 friend skinned mile for speed. And
 it's headed for the earth. The scien-
 tist who first filed a location notice
 on it Says that in a couple of centur-
 ies this new comet may collide with
 the world. And they aint no way to
 stop it.
 Now, that's going too far. What do
 We have legislatures and city councils
 for? Whats the use of electing guys
 to make laws about the penalty for poisoning dogs and such things when they don't do nothing about comets with criminal intent? Whats the use of having traffic laws on the city streets when they let comets run around in the air without even mak- ing 'em stick out their hands when they're going to turn? And what's the use of speed limits and parking laws
 
 on the gas and tears around 4,9S0.-
 S76A miles and ten feet an hour? They're ought to be law right now against comets. Business aint going to pick up until there is. for who is going to buy new pair of shoes or a new hat if comet is
 liable to come along any time and
 ruin 'em?
 What business has comet got get ting frisky, anyhow? A comet don't pay no taxes and ii don't contribute anything to any fund or nothing. All it does is chase around nights both
 ering Mercury and Venus and other stars that are leaving people alone
 and not hurting nobody. And yet they poison prairie dogs and boil weevils and don't do nothing to comets.
 It aint right. \ comets place is home where it belongs. IL aint got no business throwing meteors at de- cent, self-respecting planets that fox troIs around the sun and don't step on each others toes. It aint got no right to go chasing up behind the stars and moon and earth and trying to scare them to death. We got the right of way around the sun and we're going to keep it, and if any comets gets in the road they better carry lots of accident insurance.

 "The Vice of Fools"
 As children together. through the marriage of their parents, widow and widower, Marion Rogers and Cameron West were as brother and sister.

GREATEST FciEs

Every household should have it's life
guards. The need of the3n is especially
or eat when diseases, the greatest foes of
life, find allies in the very elements, as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip and
Pneumonia do in this stormy month.
The best way to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system
with Hoods Sarssparilla-one of the
greatest of life-guards. It removes the
conditions in which these diseases make
their most successful attack gives vigor
and tone to the vital organs and func-
lions, and imparts genial warmth to the
bl God. Remember the weaker the sys-
tenn the greater the exposure to disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the system
strong.
If the liver is torpid or the bowels are
sluggish, causing biliousness or constipa-
tion, Hoods Pills will be found of great
service. They are especially made to be
taken with Hoods Sarsaparilla.
