LONDON, Dec. ia. P.)--The
popularity of the cabaret and the
evening dances in London's fashion,
able West End restaurants is return :
ing, and the reason therefore seems
to be in no small measure due to the
Prince of Wales and his brothers.
Immediately after his return from
the Far East, the Prince appeared at
several well known restaurants for the
late supper and dance, accompanied
generally by the Duke of york or
Prince Henry, and party of friends
Also since the return of the Prince
from Scotland he has been seen at sew
cral of these dances, and so have his
two brothers.
The Royal visitors applaud heartily
the entertainment and music, but only
occasionally take part in the dancing.
The mere fact that they are present
however, is enough for the West End
er, and the places are crowded night
ly in the hopes that some members OF
the royal family will be present

..THE CRIMSON CHALLENGE"

A picture stroy of surprising dra-
matte interest which will appeal to
all picture fans who saw The Flame
of the Youkon" several years ago,
is Dorothy Dalton's latest Paramount
starring vehicle, The Crimson Chal-
lenge." which will be the feature at
the Grand theatre August II and II.
In Lost Valley, which is dominat-
ed by Buck Courtrey. a cattle rus
tier and an all round scOundrel,
Tharon Last, daughter of a rancher,
is the beloved of all. Buck cOvets
her and one day, in a quarrel, Stays
her father Tharon swears ven
geance and developing into a two

and while she Stays him, she is in
no sense a murderess. In the deyel-
opment of this dramatic story, a
love interest in which Tharon and

play,
The picture is filled with thrills
and they are of that gripping quail
ity which holds the spectator in sus-
pense from start to finish.

1T Is not boasting," said Mr. Hon.
ing Pigeon, where | speak of the
great work my father and GRANDPA
ther and others Of my family did.
IF | were bOasting about myself it
would be another matter, but to boast
about my father aud my grandfather
ana others Of my family is really only
just pride.
"Oh, so many of our family have
been 50 brave. They have carried
messages for soldiers and they have
never failed when they have had any
great messages TO carry.
They have been SO smart and
quick to learn. They have so quickly
learned the sense of direction. They
could be way way off from home ana
they could be Sent flying oil and al.
ways find their way home
"Homng pigeons learn this sort Of
thing very quickly. They remember
places, and no matter where they are
they can always find their way home
again.
For example, they are taken along
with soldiers and when the soldiers
want to send messages back to their
comrades the pigeons will take them
back and will never lose their way,
nor the messages.
My father and my grandfather and
others of my family saved thousands
and thousands of lives by their good
work. And now they are being looked
after for they are deserving Of care
and appreciation.
But to think that ones relatives
have saved thousands of lives.
THE old Jaguar boasts of the crea-
lures he can kill He boasts of his
strength.
But the Homing Pigeon boasts OF
his wisdom which he thinks Is better
than strength.
And he boasts of his power and
willingness and eagerness to save
lives.
ITO be sure, my family wouldn't
like 1t if they heard me say that they
boosted of such things, for such is not
the case.
But | should say that we must
always live up to the wonderful ideal
Of saving lives whenever we can
Now an ideal is a very lofty or
noble or splendid purpose. Our ideal
is to save lives. We think lives are
important and valuable and wonder
full, and that when we save lives we
make happiness where otherwise there
would be unhappiness.

brought up with the idea Of doing as
much as is possible to help people.

"MR. BARNES OF NEW YORK

Fate plays the silent role of

Grand theatre, August Is and 16
This is the tale of a Corsican ven
delta, in which an American be-
comes the instrument of fate and
prevents a cruel murder.
Tom Moore, the star of Mr.
Barnes of New York" has a crafty
ing role in which his genial humor
and comedy sense is given free ex-
preston. Besides, he is called upon
to reveal a deeper emotional quality
when impending tragedy calls it
forth.
Those who have seen the stage
version of "Mr. Barnes of New
York" remember the many thrilling
Incidents that made this melodrama
one of the most popular plays of the
nineties. The Goldwyn organization
has seen to it that none of the thrills
have been lost.

cross and concelted and proud.
1T merely means that that one
wants to be careful to lead the others
in doing the work they should do.
"Of course we are also called car
rier pigeons because we carry mes
sages. That is a sensible and suitable
name for us.
I'VE 90 off in pairs very often to do
our work
Some of the family now live in

Were all we'll looked after, but
when l say that some Of US are being
looked after for the rest of our lives,
l am speaking Of those of my rela-
lions who did lot Of work in saving
the lives Of brave soldiers and who
never minded how much work they
did. and who never minded how tired
they got
Some Of them worked so very hard
that they really shouldn't do any
more work. They should take a long
rest, and so they are doing this.
And they are being helped in tax
ing this rest by people who are look
ing after them and seeing that they
will be cared for, without any more
work being done by themselves.
at is right that they should rest,
for they have worked so hard. But
It was right that they should work,
for the homing pigeons believe In
doing good work In their lifetime.
But Oh, forgive me, if say too
much about the way my father and
grandfather and others Of my family
did in saving lives.
81 am so proud of that. Oh 80
proud of it. l can almost hear the
shouts Of JOY In the homes made hap
by because the pigeons saved lives.
And as seem to hear those shouts of
Joy | say to myself, The carrier
pigeons will never fail In doing their
duty. They will always live up TO
their Ideals"

traction at the Liberty theatre Aug

In writing and filming this power

stantial evidence Marion Fairfax
has built a story that will stand in
a class by itself for time to come.
So as to secure the best results OBJ
tainable the producer saw to it that
a cast in keeping with the power of
the story and the lavishness of the
production was chosen to live" the
characters found in her original
story.
A newspaper story is always d
powerful story and the manner in
which Bill O'Hara conceives and eX-
ecutes a fake murder in THE Lying

fax's ability to keep human appeal
in her writings.
Fight after fight holds the atten-
ton of the screen and the manner
in which Bill O'Hara breaks up a
political clique and disbands dope

ter of the political boss are incidents
that build up strong suspense and
a love theme that holds.
The Lying Truth is a story full

stretching across the country, an en-
thusiastic band of good road advo-
Gates and boosters met in the city
of Birmingham, Ala, on Oct. 6, 1915,
to formulate the plans for the es-
tablishment of a Southern trans
continental highway from Washing
ton to the Pacific coast. This ,enthu-
siastic gathering composed of more
than 1000 delegates, organized the
Bankhead National Highway asso-
citation for the purpose of advocat-
ing, promoting and building a ma
tionaI highway.
Congressman Thomas S. PlowmaI
OF Alabama was elected president and
served for three years until his
death in December, 1919. Hon. Ben
nehan Cameron was elected his sue
cessor and has served UP to this date.
J. A. Rountree was elected the first
and served until April, 1920,
when the office was changed to that
of director general, in which position
he has served for the past three
years.
When the Bankhead National
association was organized
Arizona republican., 1922-04-16

it was named in honor of Senator
John H. Bankhead, who had won the
title in the halls of congress as the
father of good roads in the United
States senate, as tribute TO his
wonderful work and sagaciry in urg-
ing congress to make appropriations
to aid the states in building high,
ways throughout the nation.
Memorial to Founder
After the work began of promoting
and building this highway, Senator
Bankhead passed away and instead
of it being a tribute during his life
time it is memorial to ms great
work.
The Bankhead highway has been
officially inspected three different
times by pathfinding commissions
and the United States army convoy.
The board of directors at their five
annual meetings have passed on the
various reports and have officially
located and designated the Bankhead
highway. As written in the const-
tuition this association is formed 70
promote the building of continuous
highway with branches from WASH
ington, d. c., to San Diego, Cal. II
passes through the states of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama Mississippi, Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mex
ico. Arizona and California.
The practicability and desirability
of such a route was apparent be-
fore it was established on account OF
the favorable climatic conditions
which would prevail the year around
and the low grade that could be
maintained. The route is free from
snow blockade and steep mountain
climbs and can be travelled every day
in the year.
$500 Miles in Length
The Bankhead highway traverses
Is states, passes through capitals
10 county seats and 10 cities with
populations of more than $4,000. The
total population of the states it ira
main line from Washington to san
Diego. Cal. is 3640 miles. The va
rious branches of the, highway make
a total mileage of $500 miles.
The estimated amount that has
been expended or appropriated on
this highway is more than $2o,OO0,UVO,
and the total cost when completed
will be $100000,00O
Phe Bankhead highway is not aN
imaginary line across the map or the
United States, neither Is it untrieu
and improved. The days of its IN
fancy are now over, and it has be-
come a nationally known highway
and one that offers an open route
the year around. The construction
of its various links is now well ad-
yanced. Each state through which 1t
masses has named the Bankhead
highway as one of its 3 per cent
roads. according to the provisions OF
the new federal aid act, and this
