FUNDS NEEDED BY !.
COMMUNITY CLUB

A letter, recently received at The
West yirginiau from Mrs. w. g.
Hester. president Of the Community
Club Of Fairmont, and A. Y. Thorn.
ton, manager Of the organization,
embodied a plea for assistance to
the club. The letter expressed the
idea that in order TO continue the
good work being done among the
poor colored people OF the city by
the club, funds must be procured.
The fact that hospital bill and
doctor bill are already overdue
gives proof OF the financial status
Of the organization, which is effect.
ing SO much charitable work. 1t Is
pointed out. ~
In connection With the recent
drives Of the local Red Cross anu
Salvation Army, in addition TO the
present campaign OF the Times
Christmas fund, the members OF
the Community Club used the mo.
dunn Of the letter as a solicitation
for financial aid In the work ot
their charitable organization. Ap:
probation OF tho praise extended
to the Jubilee Singers IN a letter
sent out by Sylvester Clayton,
some time. ago, was also e&pressed
In the message. ~.

Manga mother will see in the
experiences Of the mother In
Silver Wings" as played by
Mary Carr at the Nelson for the
last times today-her own short
comings-for while heS love, as is
most mothers, was entirely unset
fish In her indulgence OF her first
born son, Harry, by name, the
whole household was disrupted,
and the home that might have
been happy one. became one Of
hatred and confusion.
Most OF US could plead guilty Of
making many mistakes In the
name Of mother love, and oft times
II VIC would admit It. We err
grIeveously IN allowing our child
rem to tease and coax us into per
hitting them to do things against
our better judgment, when we,
who arc older and wiser, should
know better.
So lie writer OF "silver Wings"
has painted a picture OF both tho
weaknesses and strength Of moth
er love, So that we might ''see our.
selves as others see u.s." and It
started US 10 thinking more serl-
ously sudsto making a self cxamin-
alton with view to avoiding mis-
takes in the future, that might
perchance, wreck the happiness OF
our household.

Tho PRINCES


While there are many produc-
tions in which the story value Is
given the strongest emphasis,
there are others which are sim
ply used as a vehicle In which to
exploit the exceptional ability Of
the star to do well certain things,
such as so called classic dancing,
horse back riding, in fearless
fashion, and other stunts Of a dar-
ing nature; wearing their clothes
TO striking advantage, and so on
plot requirements not with
standing. 2 ;.
Now and then we have, how
ever, a photoplay that possesses
qualities regardless OF the fact
that 1t has been chosen for the
star above everything else. Such
a picture Is Fascination" show
ing at tho Princess today and
starring Mae Murray. i.
Tho scenes are laid in New
York and Spain, aud the story Is
intended to show the tendency
of modern youth to go the limit
in finding pleasure, until at last
they taste OF the. dregs Of dissi-
patton, and there is a. conscience
awakening which points a moral.
But would It not be better to
have more pictures portraying the
beauty and worthwhlleness OF
right living from youth up, with
virtue as its own reward, rather
than so much OF the sordlness of
sin, and the ugly scars cut deep
into the soul OF men and women
because OF trangressions commit
ted against themselves and God7

Doom, Holland. Nov. 7.---William
Hohenzolerns walks were continued
acound the castle grounds yesterday.
With his new wife, arm in arm. they
visited the rose pavilion, where not
long ago he made his proposal of
marriage. Soon the bridal couple re-
tired indoors, as it rained heavily, and
later William saw his sister in law,
Princess Ida of Stolberg- Roeela, To the
Amersfoort station. while Frederick
William, the erstwhile Crown Prince,
took his new mother---whom, however,
he does not call mother--foc n drive.
This little Dutch community is still
wagging tongues over the disturbance
of the Sabbath calm by the wedding,
but at the same time there is righteous
indignation among the women that no
chance was afforded them of seeing
the bride.
Her Serene Highness," 1icrmne
as she is designated officially and by
her husband. has not yet taken up the
reins of the household, but those ac-
quainted with her say she intends to
a assume full control Immediately as a
