ing the, prohibition enforcement act.

tigation of cases pertaining to this

figation of a disturbance at his

THEATRES
Monday mt DiImas

AlotftAdt az II
There will be something differ
ent in movies at the D:tmas Theatre
mex week. Whether Or not people
still exist who do not believe in this
something different" theory is not
the question at this time. but the
point remains that something diff
ferent can actually be seen by those
who are interested enough in moves
to attend the showing of THE
Fountain of Youth"
This feature is different not only
because of its theme, which is an
allegorical Interpretation of the
opera Faust" but because of its
exceptional and m~eritorious acting
and photography. Aside from the
ingenious trick-cameia methocs
used, the settings of the picture are
different in hat the ygive n a
rather novel insight into the CON-
ception of what the kingdom of
Satan really is supposed to be. The
deft handling of these scenes, COM
bined with the artistic interpreta-
ton on the part of the director,
makes The Fountain of Youth"
stand out pre-eminently among the
myriad other photodramas.
What is exceedingly new and per-
haps h first attempt in movies to
construct a picture based upon the
operate score of a world fam ous
opera is the fact that THE F'oun-
tain of Youth" has actually been
produced on that basis. for it's story
has been builded with the operate
score of Faust" as its fundamental
working basis. The opera and its
subsequent INSTRUMENTATION fit
like the proverbial glove, and the
orchestra at the Ditmas Theatre. IN
its rendition of Faust" will con-
tribute splendidly towards an effec-
tive appreciation of the picture.

Work That Counts

It rather amazing to read in recent survey of ts work in Europe of the Red Cross activity for 1920 The American Red Cross relief operations in Europe have been widespread, They have been confined largely to to aiding the helpless hordes of refugees and establish
 ing chain of child health units that now are engaged
 in rescung thousands of children from misery which the world brought about them. In Austria the Red Cross has furnished clothing and medical supplies to 500 persons and given employment in garment making t O 4O,OOO native women. In South Russia and Constant inople the organization almost in moment was called upon to for 15O 900 refugees forced to leave Crimea. In Poland, 40O 900 refugees who had fled be- fore the Russian Soviet armies cared for and half million Polish children given food and clothing. l n Hungary the outstanding work was in distributing 500 900 articles of clothing. In Greece 5OOO persons driven from the Caucasus assisted And the work goes on, Czcho-Slovakia, Montenegro, Roumana, Italy the Baltic States and elsewhere, Millions of dollars in money have been spent and millions of garments distributed This IS work that is worth while and enduring It has softened the hearts of uncounted millions and made the beds of pain easier for the dying and stricken fragments of great war.

Suggestions For Home Builder

Lumber is today the cheapest building material. The recent reduction freight rates helps west coast timber products in reaching the eastern market
 In order to hold the price of lumber at the lowest possible profitable level progressive sawms such as the National Lumber and Manufacturing Co. of Hoquam Washington, urging lumber dealers to point out lumber the advantages of buying and using the shorter and cheaper grades of lumber where possible
 The National Lumber Co. points out that selling lumber is like selling meat. There is certain amount of material in log and there certain amount of meat in steer. If the public refuses to buy any but e choicest cuts of beef anything but the clear timber out of log the cost must be approximately higher to cover the waste which is not used.
 Due to the varied diameter and lengths of logs there is of necessity many short pieces side cuts knotty wood all of which is perfectly satisfactory many building purposes.
 Sawmills urging lumber dealers the country to point this fact out to customers and show them that by using these cheaper grades of lumber great savings be made in construction costs at derment to the building
 Thus by using every scrap of the log will accom- psh true forest conservation, equaze lumber prices and encourage home building.

Pull More Than Your Share.

In Forbes Magazine of recent issue is found this paragraph:
 1t may be true that the willing horse gets the heav- fest load But once in while he gets the most ca ts Quite often one hears fellow remark 'lm the easy guy do all kinds of things around here and the more do the more they hand me can't see where I'm going to come out on this kind of deal'
 Well that fellow is simply short-sighted in one re- spect If his superiors didn't think he could handle the job they'd give it to him. If they didn't think he could handle additional jobs they'd never give them to him.
 He should get the other slant on the matter. h. stead of thinking himself plain old work horse willing to pull the heavy load he should feel his superors have confidence in him to hand him added burdens. If he bears them and bears them we it quite certain that his efforts will be noticed and he will be rewarded some way other.
 Just remember that little paragraph "lt may be true that the willing horse gets the heaviest load But once in while he gets the most oats"
