WARNS OF CHRIST
MAS vS TREE DANGERS

Insurance Commissioner G. Walden
Smith said Wednesday that a more
careful regard be had for the preven-
ton of fires incident to Christmas
celebrations and that too often the
Christmas season, which should be
an occasion of unmixed cheer be-
comes atime of tragedy in many
households because of serious injury
and perhaps death by fire.
"The highly inflammable evergreen
trees and decorations or the cotton
beard of a thinly disguised Santa
Claus frequently,ignite from lighted
candle or match and serious results
ensue," continued Commissioner
Smith. "An extremely hazardous
plaything of comparatively recent
development is the home motion pic

to place a more dangerous combina-

up securely so that it will not easily
topple over and should be located
several feet away from any heating
or lighting fixtures. Metal tinsel and
powdered mica make excellent mate

hand, are highly dangerous. The tree
should never be illuminated with cam

In a widespread reaction from the
fashions of years before and during
the war, the gentleman opera goer
appears in evening dress, whether
he sits in a box or any other part of
the house below the gallery. And

doff the shiniest of silk hats to ac-
quaintances or when they go to ex-
change visits among the boxes filled
with richly gowned and jeweled
women.

dress and the etiquette of the entr'-

Not, officials of the opera said to-
day, that a great gap has not been
left in the ranks of the artists who
have made it SO famous. CarVso' S
place, they declared, cannot be filled

years. But his death has served to
defect the interest of opera goers
from the brilliancy of the individual
singer and to widen it to embrace the
opera itself and the great, though
less we'll known stars, who nightly
are drawing mutitudes to the histor-
ic Broadway auditorium.
Great changes have taken place in
the opera as social institution, they
declare. The social side of the gath

Several Looms Found Frozen
In Ice or Crippled by the Cold

Three rather unusual cases have
recently been reported to the Depart
ment of Inland Fisheries and Game,
from widely separated places and
very similar in nature.
A letter from J.. c. 1ngham OF
Winthrop says that while skating on
Lake Maranacook he found the body
of loon. dead and froze in the ice.
He asked for instructions.
The second letter to arrive was
from Mrs T. II. Record of Livermore
Falls, who had also found a dead
loon, the body being frozen in the
ice.
The third letter arrived on Tues
day, from DR.. E. NJ. Sou1e of Unity.
who writes that loon had dropped
to the ground near his home, appar-
emily disabled in some way or over
come by the cold. He had fed it and
given 1t opportunity TIC escape but it
still seemed unable to fly.
In view of the fact THAT looms are
protected by Federal laws but not by
State law. instructions were sent to
the finders of the dead birds to for
ward them tosthe department and the
department in turn has notified the
Bureau of Biological Survey Depart
ment of Agriculture. Washington.
Curator James of the museum Is de-
sirous-on account Of the plumage of

looms already in the museum. 1t is
thought that the government will
consent to that disposition of the

only a unique departure in the line OF
.torv for the .sWorld's Sweetheart,
but a gripping drama OF unusuai IN
terest. Briefly the story is as 1oi-
lows:
Angela Carlottt presides over the
house of her two orphaned brothers
Antonio and Mario. in q little nshlns
village bordering on the Mediterran-
can in Northern Italy. Antonio ana
Mario spend their days fishing on the
lighthouse, Angela caring for the
little stone house, the barnyards and
Gardens. They are all young. and
boylike. the brothers slip as much OF
the work as possible upon the appar-
emily tireless shoulders OF Angela.
They have only to remark that GER
tain lob is too hard for any woman
and Angela flies at it and labors along
while they recline in the shade, aud
ibly marveling at her strength and
cleverness.
Angela is being courted by Giovan-
nj Novella who is held in contempt
by the fisher folk because instead OF
handling the nets and row boats, he
raises flowers for the perfume mar
ket of Genoa In time Antonio joins
the army Of his country and a. little
later Mario also enlists. Giovanni is
still at home and Angela voices her
contempt at his apparent lack OF pa
triotism; this decides for Giovanni
that he should 90, and he returns
blinded. During his absence Angela
cares for his gardens and also takes
the lighthouse keepers place. One
day Angela comes upon the uncon-
scious form of sailor, big hand
some foreigner. who claims to have
deserted his ship. Angela falls in
love with him and they are married.
A little later she hears OF the death
ofM her two brothers. How the
stranger proves to be an enemy OF
Angela's country, and how Angela
sacrifices everything in order to pro-
tect not only her neighbors but her
enemies, is presented in series of
startling and gripping situations
which naturally must be seen to be
appreciated.
The production is lavish in its set
tings and the wonderful photography
is credited to Charles Kosher who has
photogra pied most of Miss Pickford's
recent pictures. Stephen Gooson,
noted art director, is responsible for
the reproduction of the Italian village
and beautiful interiors.
