Of the Storm Country" has taken
this city by storm! Devotees to this
star in particular and the cinema in

for the making OF a still greater
film.
She has written an important
chapter into screen history in the
manner in which she has produced
this picture for a second time in her
brilliant career and. if it Is true she
essayed this revival with the idea of
creating a classic which would live
in posterity, there is every indica-
ton she has insured herself ade-
quate success in the ambition.

BABE LOSES WEIGHT
Ruth Arrives at Hot Springs Training Camp in Better Condition Than in Previous Seasons.

Hot Springs Feb. 23.-I.ess than an hour after Babe Ruth blew into Hot Springs he was on his way to the golf course and his first bit of prepar- ation for the coming pennant pursuit. With Babe was Waite IIoyt, the blond boy wonder from Brooklyn who also joined the Yankee colony here. Well lington Cross, the great Bambino' s vaudeville partner, accompanied him to the Springs.
 Partly because of his arduous labor on the stage and partly because he has been more careful with his diet this winter than ever before, the Babe was in far better condition to start his seasons work than when he re- ported last spring. He weighed at least ten pounds less than at cor responding time last year and the al dermanic paunch which attracted so much attention at Shreveport was conspicuously missing. The Babe is still considerably overweight, but not to such an etxent that t will require heroic methods to get him into shape.

MOON INCONSISTENT
Rev. NJ. s. Brcpnan Does Not Believe That Planet Can Govern the Date of Easter.

St. Louis, Feb. 23-The moon is too inconsistent planet to govern the date of Easter, in the opinion of
 Rev. l.. S. Brennan, astronomer-priest
 of this city, who has expressed hope that the council of astronomers call ed by the late Pope Benedict XIV for meeting in Rome next April will
 decide to eliminate the moon as
 means of determining the date of the
 Paschal Feast.
 Father Brennan recently suggested that certain date be fixed or cer-
 tain Sunday, and suggested that eith- CT April or the second Sunday ir April be designated the day, on
 which the churches celebrate Easter
 The present method of fixing the first Sunday following the first full moor after the vernal equinox, Father
 Brennan points out. leaves a range of 34 days for the Easter feast and by fixing a certain day or certain Sunday he believed, much confusion could bt
 avoided.
