SPRING

Once more sweet spring is here!
The robin from the tree top
Pours forth his song of cheer;
The slumb'ring streams are waking.
And sparkle in their glee,
The noise that they are making
Awakes the honey bee.
Soft winds sweep DER the meadows
10 woo the tender grass,
They fill our hearts with gladness
And sunshine as they pass.
The stout old farmer wears a smile
And hies him to the woods;
Out there beneath the maple trees
he. makes his tasty goods.
Oh, if your heart is weary
With strife, and toll, and care,
Just take look around you
There's gladness everywhere.

HOW DID YOU DIE?

Did you tackle the trouble which came
your way
With heart that was light and cheer
full;
Or hide your face from the light of day
I With craven soul and fearful?
Oh troubles ton or troubles an ounce,
Or trouble is what you make it,
1t isn't so much that you're hurt that counts
AS much as
How did you take it?
You're flung to the earth Well what of
that?
Come up with smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down fiat,
To lie there That's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown
The higher you bounce,
Be proud of you're hlackened eve.
1t isn't the face that you lacked that
counts,
How did you fght and why?
An if you are done to the death what then?
If you battled the hest you could,
If you played your part in the world of
men.
The critic will call it good,
Death comes with crawl
Or death comes with pounce,
But whether he's slow or spry;
1t isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
But only.
How did you die?

AT THE QUEEN

A question OF the utmost impor-
tance to America today is handled
with skill and good taste I'm the
photoplay Poverty OF Riches"

chief booking the first three days Of

a happy home life. children, modest
pleasures and perfect understanding
between husband and wife. The
otherl family chooses the path OF
financial power, refusing 20 have
children though both young people
are fond of them.
How these two families meet the
tests life puts TO them is a sermon
IN pictures on the joys OF the simple
natural manner OF living.
The story was written by Leroy
Scott and Is most powerful in the
simple directness OF its story
Reginald Barker. star director OF
the Goldwyn stan, handled the pro-
duction.

the role Of the financially ambitious
couple who thought to find happi-
ness in money John Bowers and

PARIS, April 24.-France can put in the field an army of 3,O00,0OO trained combatant troops desite the reduction of the time of service to one year, declares General Taufflief, Senator of the Department of Bas Rhin, in writing an editorial for the Petit Parisien.
 Officer circles have been making a strong stand to prevent the reduction of the term of military service to one year, and have put up strong cam paign to influence the passage of law which will call for eighten months conscriptive service with the colors.
 Service of one year will not only create in the world an atmosphere of confidence in France, but also will recuperate our financial situation and will free our arms for the economic fight, which will keep us actually strong" writes the General.
 Between the ages of twenty and thirty-ffve we have fifteen classes of about 100000 men each, which would enable us to dispose of approximately 2 100000 combatants on mobilization, who could be assigned to active and reserve units. This would give about 12O brigades, forty divisions and twen- ty army corps. The men from thirty used for the reserves and for the ser vice to the rear"

HOWJ

The combination of Robert w. Chambers, author Marion Davies, star; and Joseph Urban, famous de- signer of settings, is successful in "The Restless Sex" in producing pic ture that is notable for it's lavishly ar tistic backgrounds and lively TO- nance. The photoplay will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight
 Feminism is the underlying note of "The Restless Sex" though there is nothing in the picture about votes for women. It is rather the modern wom- ans craving for excitement and am bition to become more than just wife. The heroine is a society girl of this type and her turbulent course to peace and happiness forms the theme of the story.
 Miss Davies is idealy suited tD DOT tray a Chambers heroine and her SUD- porting cast, headed by Ralph Kel]ard and Carlyle Blackwell, is an unusually competent one. An elaborate ball room scene, in which over si% hun dred costumed people take part, is a feature.
