Dear Henry:

And they named it Maids of America and dub 1t a trip to Laugh1and. We'll, I hope to smoke a pickle if it isn't a round trip with plenty of stop-overs, because if they didn't let you stop over at different parts, they would have to get lot of extra uSheTs to carry the. people out. Laughter is or anybody else can go to the Lyric this week and stay for the whole show and then have strength enough left to get up and walk out on their own legs I'll make them present of the City Hall.

 The survey as of January 1, 1922, showed Al days supply of bitumin- ous coal on hand. Production has slightly exceeded consumption since January l. according to operators figures, and they indicate the country will have something more than a 40- day supply by April 1.

Dr. DinsmOre Gave First In Series Of
 Talks On Creed

Dr. Dinsmore spoke first of the
 Apostles Creed, as that is the back
 ground for the lectures being given
 this week at the United church, as
 many of the other churches of the
 city. Tt is the most venerable, the simplest, the most universal of all the creeds of our church. Its power lies
 not in that it is a revelation from
 above, but that it is an expression of the experience of all ages. Thus Christ was the fulfillment not only of the insight of. the prophets, but the fuMllment and transformation of that law which is written deep in the human heart; and the expression of the experiences of all humanity
 Truth alone does not give immor- taHty," said Dr. Dinsmore. Beauty alone will not last through the cen tur1es, but together they stand for ever. Every great mind in litera- ture has an instinct for the moral law. No one ever succeeded very greatly in life who had not the power of prophesying the unseen; the facu1- ty to see that which the eye cannot see. Every great genius, every great business man has this intuitive con- ception, and the poets have been deeply endowed with this power"
 Dr. Dinsmore then gave a rapid sketch of the epics of Homer, and told the stories lines of the works of the other great Greek dramatists, bringing out the fact that all the great works of literature are based on the sreat moral laws of sin. retribution and reconciliation. Just as the He brews believed there must be "an eye for an eye, and 9 tooth for a tooth, SO we find this same moral insight the Greek people, said Dr. Dinsmore. '"The impression which I would leave with you Is this, that the moral law is written into the very fiber of peoples natures; that God has manifested Himself in all peoples; that man at this great period of hu- man history, caught that first vision of the inviolab1e moral law, and then that higher vision of the pity and confpaSSion of God"

WEST END.

Norma Ta1madge, whose latest starring picture for Associated First National Pictures, Inc, is showing at the West End theatre, tonight, is a strong believer in continuity of cast and direction through a series of pro- auctions. As evidence of this she points to the fact that many of those associated, with her in her present venture have had similar duties in her other pictures and are being re- taIned for her future productions.
 Harrison Ford, the debonnair lead ing man, appeared with Miss Tal- madge in "The Wonderful Thing and will have similar roles in pictures that the star will make in the near future. Albert Parker the director, will continue to direct more of Miss Talmadge's pictures, it has been announced.
 Familiar faces are seen among the other members of the cast which in- cludes, in addition to those already mentioned, Montagu Love Cooper C1iffe, Ida Waterman, Michael M. Barnes, B. Fernandez and Fraser Coulter.
 Loves Redemption" was adapted by Anthony Paul Kelly from Andrew Soutar's novel, "On Principle'' It is an unusually stirring story of the West Indies with an apilogue in con venttonal England.

"For Gawd's sake use salt on
'em!" implored Felix.
Billy pushed right back from the
table and refused to be comforted.
II want some pepper! Sam, you
lazy lump of slumgullion, get me
some pepper, will you?"
mo, I won't. I'm too comforta-
BILE and you're too finicky.'
Bill glanced across at Tip. You
going to refuse me too, Tip, old cit
izen?"
NO" said Tip with a weary air,
II suppose not"
He arose and betook himself to
the kitchen. Returning with a large
old -fashioned tin pepper pot he
thumped it down upon the table in
front of the captive. There y'are.
Now, stop your squalling."
THANK you, Tippy. / will. Yeah.'
Billy scraped up to the table as
Tip turned away. Whats the mat
ter with this pepper pot, anyway"
Tip turned to look. Billy picked up
the pepper pot slowly and stared
hard at it. Felix Craft craned his
neck.
Il don't see anything the matter
with it," said Craft.
Don't your murmured Billy, his
fingers busy with the removable top.
Look here"
Sam Larder did not move. but both
Tin and Craft obeyed. In fact, they
obeyed with such good will that the
handful of pepper that Billy in
stantly swept into their faces busted
I'D their nostrils as well as into their
eyes. ,
In throwing the pepper Billy had
employed his left hand. This lett
hand had not completed the motion
before Billy was reaching for the
platter OF eggs with his right hand.
1t was unfortunate for Sam Lard
| err that he was a slow-going gentle
man. The platter struck him edge
wise over the eye when his six
| shooter had barely cleared the hol-
ster. The six-shooter thudded to the
| floor. Sam and his chair went over
backward and lay together In a
tangle amid the fragments of broker
platter and the remains OF several
eggs. He was unconscious.
Billy, arriving in Sans immediate
! neighborhoo a split second after
Sam struck the floor, scooped up the
fallen six-shooter and wheeled back
to face his other two enemies. But
they were too occupied to be an
Immediate menace. Felix Craft was
sitting on the floor. clawing at his
eyes and swearing continuously. Tip
coughing and sneezing, was not
swearing. Perhaps he had not suf-
fcient breath. At any rate. he was
on his feet, arms spread wide, reel
ing his way along toward the door
giving into the hall.
Billy cat-footed up behind Tip ana
snatched away his six-shooter. Til
spun round at the touch, but Bills
lodged away from the clutchina
hands.
Bang! a revolver bullet cut a but
ton from his vest and tucked intt
the wall at his elbow. Billy's sud
den movement had saved his life
