RESOLUTIONS.

East year some of US mark oul
: higher resolves on that day which
sees the beginning of a new period
marked by January 1. No doubt
yesterday brought its full quota of
those high resolves, some made in
whimsical contemplation of an un-
profitable year behind, and some
made in the spirit through which re-
solves bring us to reailzations worth

We should not be too slow in
breaking a sinful custom. A quick,
courageous resolution is better htan

BILLY BURKE AT GRAND.

1t has been such long time sine,
Billie Burke has had good picture
that when one does present itseli
with plenty of sparkle and permits
her a chance to assert her person
atty tn offering should be given due
credit. 1t is a will-o' -the-wisp story
that is featured here at the Grand
Tomorrow story which despite its
light substance somehow reaches out
and entertains. The star looks like
herself again in the picture and she
scores in her own distinctive way. 1t
is quite an achievement for Edward
Dillon, the director. He has taken
a thin plot on the surface and ex-
tended it, supplying incident here
and there, with the result it is kept
fully nourished to the finish. There
is very little evidence of padding, so
natural are the sequences and so
spontaneous the comedy.
While it isn't picture which fur
nishes laughter, still the raucous
laugh isn't striven for, if one may
judge from the subtleties of plot and
characterization. A story of cho-
rus girl of a garrulous disposition
the director has painted her life back
stage with considerable color. He
has used set reproduced from the

velop his romance without losing the
thread. For contrast a family of CO.

OLD SANTA VISITS LEPER.
nv Associated Pressl


Tampa, Jan. Santa Claus was
generous Sunday to Brack Lowe,
who because he is afflicted with lep-
rosy. lives by himself in lonely
cabin on the banks of the Hilisbor-
ough river, near here. Lowe .de-
scibed it as the haprpiest Christmas
of his life, for scores of Tampans
remembered him in his loneliness.
The one thing which Lowe prob
ably appreciated more than anything
else was graphophone and So rec
ords, for when it was delivered to
him he dropped on his knees and,
with tears streaming down his face,
thanked God and called down bless
ings on the one who had given it to
him. For years he has wanted one,
he said, but never expected to get it.

most destroyed and Engeihart suffer
ed considerable damage. New Liske.
ard was slight sufferer.
At Heaslip John Bond, his wife,
eight children and hired man were
killed when a storm cellar caved in.
Rescuers found the bodies of Bond
and his wife with hteir arms entwin-
ed. They had suffocated. Two daugh-
ters, II and 1s, lay next, and in n
corner two smaller children were
clasped in each others arms, while
the other bodies we're nearby.
Marshall, the hired man, had his

LOONEY KILLED
IN GUN FIGHT
(By the A,sociated Press)

Rock Island, Ill.,, Oct. 7-Connel
Looney Jr.", died last night. of gun
shot wounds received yesterday in
4 gun battle in the heart of the city
between underworld political fac
tions. Looney was seated in an auto
mobile in front of hotel, accompan-
led by his father, John Looney, pub
Usher of the Rock Island News, when
fired upon by the occupants Of two
passing automobiles. The lives of
hundreds of citizens were menaced
by the shower Of bullets.
The fight was the climax Of war
that has been raging between fac
tions in connection with an agita-
tion against vice conditions in the
city. Among these arrested in con.
nection with the battle are A. W.
Biltburg, Dan Drost, former associ-
ate of Looney, and George Holsap-
pie.
A feud had existed for months be-
tween this trio and the Looneys.
Looney, in his paper, the News, print
ed weekly, has been championing the
city and county administrations, both
of which have been under public fire
for failure to suppress commercial
lied vice.
