The audience at the Lyric theatre
yesterday was transported backward
into the ages a distance of three hun
dred years through the medium of
Douglas Fairbanks current picture,
"The Three Musketeers." This big
feature will be shown again today
and tomorrow.
Flashing swords, great sacrifices
and daring deeds of heroism make
this one of the most thrilling pictures
ever viewed, previewed or reviewed.
The production is perfect and the d.
rection ali that could possibly be ask
ed for. The photography is so good
that one is never conscious of it,
which is the greatest test of camera
work.
Douglas Fairbanks work as DAT

All at once the smoke from the

For a moment Bill gave little at
tention to the deeping clouds of pun
gent, biting wood smoke that the
wind, suddenly shifting, whipped in
through the hole he had cut in the
door.
This was the most bitter moment
of his life, and he was lost and re-
mote in his dark broodings. The
smoke didn't matter
The fight for life no longer seemed
worth while.
The smoke deepened in the cabin.
1t seemed to be affecting his power
to stand erect. He tried TO think of
some way to save himself; his mind
was slow and dull
He knew that he couldn't get out Of

far more dramatic, than in anything
he has ever done before. His love
making is of the sort that rings true
it is neither silly nor over-done. The
scene in which he comes to the Queen

more and the wheels set on trestles
or high supports while repairs are
made underneath.
The construction of this special Jack
does not require any special machine
work, and steel plate is used for the
two main parts.
The base is made broad. 2 feet by
feet, of plate 1a inch thick, which
permits its use on soft earth without
tipping over.
The side members are of 1s-inch
plate, inches wide, feet long, or
more if required, doubled over at the
top and riveted to the base at the bot
tom. Two rows Of drilled holes are
4 inches apart. with the positions of
the holes in the opposite rows stag
gered.
A lifting-bar 6 feet long Of %-inch
plate, tapered to handle at one end,
inches wide at the opposite end,
which is turned up and cut on the
lower edge to engage the pins as
shown, is used similarly to Jack
handle. In operation, two 1a-inch
diameter pins, of the same size as the
drilled holes through the uprights, are
alternately placed under the bar.
The pin in the rear hole is placed
first, the bar pried down until the for
ward pin can be inserted. The bar is
tilted back and the pin inserted in the
next hole above in the uprights.
This is continued until the car is
elevated as far as required and the
bar is locked by placing the pin in a
rear hole above the bar.
This jack is comparatively light and
makes a serviceable addition to the
shop or service-car.-G. A. Luers In

GERMAN NOTE ~Ns0LENT"

Paris.-The Allied Powers, through
the Council of Ambassadors, have in
formed Germany that all questions
concerning the withdrawal of the Mil
itary Control Commission in Germany
have been suspended until the German
Government gives the fullest satisfac-
tion for what are termed fragrant vio-
lations Of the military clauses of the
Treaty of Versailles committed during
the past six months, and shows will
ingness to abide by the Commissions s
instructions.
The note of the Allies was sent
after the receipt Of German COM
munication on the subject which was
termed "insolent to a degree" In
this communication Germany is said
to have disregarded totally the long
series of notes of complaint sent by
the Allies and to have declared that
she was glad to learn the Allies were
about to end their military control,
and permit Germany to revert back
to normal.
The note also ignored formal Allied
representation to the Berlin Govern.
ment of September 29, consequent on
the large number of acts of aggres.
sion against the Allied military in
their work Of inspection.
The Allied note of today demands
an apology and reparations for re
cent incidents at Passau and Stettin
In requesting an immediate reply the
Allies say their patience is about ex
hausted.
The Council of Ambassadors also
Is making another demand for the
Germans naval enlistment list, which
has been repeatedly refused then
during the last six months. 1t is sait
the Allies suspect that Germany is
exceeding her quota of enlistment.
and violating the conditions of train
ing provided for in the peace treaty
The Allies have decided to war;
Germany that she will not be per
mitted to manufacture new war in
ventions in which she at present il
said to be actively engaged. The AL
lies, however, cannot prevent expert
ments in such inventions.
