FACILITATES WAR ON CRIME
Hiah-Powered Microscope Designed to Uncover Secrets of Those Who
 Prey on Society.

In order to facilitate inyestiga- tions in connection with the iden- tifcation of criminals. a western criminologist has had built a large high-powered microscope, says Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. Posses sing all the features and detail of the smaller instrument, as well as some additional adjustments, this special microscope has a number of distinct advantages in studying finger prints, bloodstains, hairs and fbers, bullets, handwriting speci- mems and other clews such as are used in the scientific detection of criminals. One of the main fea- lures is the ten-inch-diameter eye piece which permits five persons to view the specimen at the same time. This field of vision, combined with the unusual range and degree ot magnifcation, which can be varied from two to 5000 diameters, makes it possible to examine several objects in minute detail simultaneously Some idea of the instruments size can be realized from the principa dimensions, for the height is siz feet four inches, length of barre thirty-four inches and circumference of barrel ffty-four inches.

ODD IDEAS OF COURTESY Rather Hard to Explain Why They Exist, but Almost Every One
 Will Recognize Them

For some reason or other we seem to feel that we are conferring more honor and respect on the person we address if we use the third per son in addressing him than if we use the second person. Thus the Spaniard when he wishes to speak politely says something that origin ally means will your honor do thus and so on. when he means will you do thus and so on, and he says will he put on his hat when he means will you put on your hat. The Ger man never uses the familiar you when addressing anyone but in- inmates, and says, How are theyY" when he means "How are you ?' And even we who use the English language have discarded the old fashioned "thou" and use the plural ''you," apparently with the feeling that it is more courteous to consider the individual whom we address as more than one person than as a single individual. The French still use their tu and toi'' in family conversation, but to strangers they still use the plural ''vous." New York Sun.

ACE OF HEARTS At
COLUMBIA TODAY
IS UNUSUAL STORY

"Ace of Hearts, which opens a
hree-day run at Mauk's Columbia
.heater today is one of the most
unusual dramatic stories Gouverneur
Morris ever wrote. Written espe-
cially for Goldwyn, and entrusted to
Lon CLANCY, Leatrice JOY, John
Bowers. and Raymond Hatton for
proper presentation. "Ace of Hearts
ranks as one of the best pictures OF
the sort ever made by Goldwyn.
The plot is laid around the efforts
OF a group Of radicals to uplift the
moral tone Of the Universe by ellml-
mating the worlds richest men, who
are all considered by them undesir-
able citizens.
Lillith, the only woman OF the
group, is loved by Forrest, and Fara-
lone. played by Lon CLANCY. at the
drawing to determine who Is to klll
the first victim, the Ace OF Hearts
falls to Forrest. Thinking to give
him more courage to do the deed
Lillith agrees to marry him. Their
night of love however has a very
softening influence on their radical
tendencies. and they face the new
day with a clearer vision, seeing that
violence will never accomplish the
purpose they strive for.
Realizing the futility Of ever con-
vincing the relentless leader, Of the
truth of their new discovery, they
take refuge in flight. When Fara-
lone learns that they have found
happiness he. at the cost of his life,
checkmates the attempts of the lead
er to seek them out and kill them.
Years later, just as they have
found a newer and more complete
happiness in seclusion in the north.
they find the death card nailed TO
their cabin door and know that the
relentless leader has at last found
them and come for a reckoning
The story takes twist at this
point that will surprise the audience,
and make them gasp for breath. So
great is the suspense that not until
the very last scene does the beholder
know that all has come out for the
best.
Al Hall Room Boys comedy TAX

chestra are the additional features
Of the program.
