MEMORIAL CROSS
PLAN GAINS FAVOR
Argonne Unit Seeks s2,5oo
for Arlington Stone to
Overseas Dead.

The proposal of the Argonne Unit OF
the American Women's Legion of this
city for the erection in Arlington ma
tional cemetery of plain Latin cross
of white marble as a permanent me-
mortal to the American dead OF the
world war buried overseas is rapidly
gaining in favor and subscriptions TO
the $500 fund necessary to con-
struct and establish the tribute are
being received by the committee.
The cross will be about fifteen feet
in height and, according to the Ar
gonne Unit and others who have
heartily approved of the tr1oute, VIII
be symbolic of the Story told by each
of the 10000 or more small "hite
1t will be erected in that section OF
the cemetery devoted to the graves
of American youth who made the
sacrifice abroad and will bear the fol-
lowing inscription:
I'm Memory of Our Men In france
1917-191S."
Commission Approves Plan.
The Commission of the Fine Arts has
reviewed and approved the drawings
of the cross, and the concurrence of
the War Department in the plan 10
honor the American war dead on
foreign soil is illustrated by the fact
that it has donated space nifty
feet in width in that section of the
cemetery set aside for the American
dead of the world war. for the plac-
ing of the memorial.
The committee in charge of the
campaign believes that no difhculty
would be encountered If it sought to
obtain the necessary amount from the
District of Columbia alone, but as the
cross will, in sense, be composite
of the thousands of small ones In
foreign cemeteries designating the
grave of an American soldier, sailor
or marine. the committee states that
the nation as a whole should be given
an opportunity to contribute toward
its erection.
Appeal to Press.
To this end, the unit has requested
the press of the principal cities of the
country to bring the memorial to the
attention of the people, particularly
the relatives and friends of the mer
care of the French government and
people.
Present plans of the unit call for
dedication of the memorial November
IL. Armistice day, of this year.
The special committee of the
Argonne Unit. in charge OF the
memorial, is composed of Miss Abbie
B. McCammon. chairman. Mrs. Will
liam NJ. Black, Mrs. Alexander
Rodgers and Miss n. r. Macomb. Sub.
scriptions should be sent to Miss
Macomb at 1914 n street northwest
or to the 'Argonne Unit Memorial

RAPs LOVERS OF DOGS.
Correspondent Declares They Dis
regard Comfort of Other People.

To the Editor of The Star:
1 would like to have small space in
your valuable paper to voice my pro-
test with that of many others against
the supreme selfishness of the canine
lovers-that is, taking unmuzzled and
unleashed dogs these hot days to
parks and public streets Gas. has oc-
Cured so frequently); also tn placing
barking dogs in back yards to break k
the rest of tired and working people
at early hours in. the morning and
late at night, thereby risking the
safety and comfort of the, people.
If these lovers of the brute creation
would only devote some of that care
and attention bestowed upon dogs
and cats to some poor neglected little
child, whose overworked mother is
unable to give it proper care, how
much more the communities would be
benefited. A good way to stop this
reckless disregard of the safety and
comport of others is a. very heavy
fine. MINERVA WINSTON.

"BEAUTY'S WORTH" AT THE

| What is it makes a man admire
girl? Is it her clothes or is it her
personality? How should a girl go
about winning the man of her choice?
These very! vital questions find
an interesting and delightful ans
wer in "Beautyss Worth" starring
Marion Davies, photoplay Great
ed by Cosmopoliton Productions,
which is showing at the Elko theater
today and Friday.
"Beauty's Worth" is story of
how a girl unknowingly hid her
striking beauty beneath a plain and
unattractive garb; how an artist
discovered her rare beauty where
others saw only mediocrity and dull
ness; how this artists suggestion as
to dress transformed her from
a shrinking and scorned out
slider at a fashionable summer re-
sort into the loveliest and most
eourted belle there.
It is, not only, charming study
Of a girls nature but it is also a
searching analysis of the foibles of
men. ~ 49,,
