Two Big Features at Bakers Theatre
Imagine Glorious Gloria Swanson,
supported by dashing Rudolph Valen-
tino, in a ia by the author of
"Three Weeks" Beyond the Rocks"
which comes to Bakers the first three
days of the week, is a gorgeous love-
drama of Paris nights, Alpine crags
and society boudoirs, and is said to
be Miss Swanson's most notable pic
ture. Twenty changes of gowns af-
fords her the opportunity of appearing
in some of the most wonderful Gre
ations that have ever graced the
screen. Sensations come fast in the
world we live in. One thrill follows
another in daily life, and is as quickly
forgotten when a new sensation ar
rives on the crest of a wave of Curl
osity. But there is one great and Won
derful sensation awaiting the people
of wildwood, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. 1t will be a new sensation
for thousands of people, for the OPP
portunity will then be given them for
the first time to see, at popular prices,
"The Queen of Sheba," said to be the
most wonderful spectacle ever filmed.
Sunday, William Christy Cabanne's
cat the Stage Door" will be the at
traction for one day only.

The Bible and Science

70 'he Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-In your editorial comment on
Wilbur Glen Voliva's reversion to the
old theological theory Of a fat world,
you conclude by saying, 'The notion
that the Bible is scientific textbook
has long since been abandoned. This
statement, in my opinion. Is not quite
in accord with facts. On tho contrary,
there seem to be indications that the
old motion Is taking on new life. How
about the cvungelistic campaign Of Ra-
der, the chemist OF r. N. r. fame. who
has been proclaiming to large and sup
poscdly intelligent audiences in Phila-
dclphia and other large cities through
out the country that the Bible and sci
cnce are In exact accord?
A bill was recently introduced in the
kentucky Legislature which would stop
The teaching of the theory of evolution
in all tho schools Of that State. OF
course. 1t is hardly necessary to say
That the sponsors of this legislation are
believers in the cosmogony Of the Bible.
William Jennings Bryan, believer
in the Bible from cover TO cover, is an
avowcd opponent Of the theory Of eyo-
luton; vet, If man truly believes that
the Bible is the "Word Of God" he
should not be blamed for opposing a
theory which conflicts with 1t. If the
RULER Of the Universe" Is not an au-
lhnrity on such matters, who is?
1t seems that a considerable number
ot people still regard the Bible as an
authority on matters scientific as well
nS spiritual. and to the writer the credu-
lity Of person who Believes IN fiat
world is no greater than that of Il be-
iicrcr in the Israelitsh creation myth.

An ex.serviee Mans View

"a tns Editor OF tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-I am an cx-servicc man Of the
World War and am also interested In
YOUR paper? Last evening ! read
letter written to your paper by George
r. Lanier about the soldiers bonus.
Mr.. Lanier claims he is a patriotic
American and he disapproves OF the
bonus.
Let me suy that the very way this
man expresses his thoughts OF the men
in the World War. to the effect that
they had the best berths they ever had.
indicates he must class the majority OF
The men as being buns and unwilling to
work.
He also claims the men came out OF
the army prepared to take UP line OF
work that would be profitable to the ex.
tent they never would have enjoyed had
they not gone into the army.
Now, sir. common sense can explain
10 any half witted persons that there
were no trades Of any sort learned
while the soldiers were fighting their
way through to victory. I'd like him to
know there are moro men out Of work
now than there ever were before the
World War, and the majority of those
men seeking work are ex service men.
Without Il doubt they looked after
cur families with the allotment We made
cut to our people, and perhaps few
dollars more. $40 month, which made
il total to the large sum Of SO 4 month
to live on, PETE.

The Servant Snecialis&

70 ,hc Editor Of the Evening Public Lcdoer:
SIT think one Of the most unfor-
tunatc things that has crcpt into the
servant problem is the specialist sery-
ant. Where such are employed there is
always friction. The specialist cooks
i9el their independence 10 much TINT
they VIII refuse to do anything except
GocKihg. even to washing their own
dislles and cooking utensils. My dining
room girl Is supposed to also wash the
tlshes, with the assistance of the cook,
u't the COOK refuses to have anything
,o w WIN things after they have left
her hands for the dining room.
Ihen there Is constant clash be.
tween these two servants. The house.
maid, whose duty it is to keep the house
Ceafl and the rooms and beds in order,
refuses to make the beds of the cook and
oining room girl. or clean their room,
aud they insist that their special posi-
tion calls for such service on tho mari
Of the roonmaid. What is the coi,sc.
Quence? There is another clash. Then
she laundress, she refuses to help in nny
way with tho cooking or the straighten.
ing out of the rooms, and because the
other maids have to wait on her in this
way there is another clash, and quite
frequently conditions get to the stage
when all Of the servants will have no
speaking >acqusintancc" one with the
other, and 1t ~ necessary for me TO GO
ana arbitrate or straighten things out.
and then get In bad favor all around,
and each ono thinks I am favoring the
ether, and not infrequently things get
into frightful mess owing to the scrv-
mt specialist, and am compelled to
discharge one or two of the most un-
reasonable of the "lndics of the kitch.

. Both Sides to Blame

Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Why 80 much severe criticism
against servants, and BY servants
against mistresses? Doth sides are to
blame. Servants no more care TO be
continually seeking new places than
do mistrcsses enjoy looking for new help.
1t only requires a little sanity on both
sides to live peacefully and happily,
have employed maids for more than
twenty years, and several of them arc
still with me, and seem like members
of the family. In selecting servants
from the start 7 have been able 10 read
their disposition. and took care to only
employ those with intelligence enough
to consider their positions, and ] have
intelligence enough, fortunately, to
realize that they arc human and want
just and considerate treatment.
It Is a wife's duty to oversee her
house. and the duty Of the servants to
take instructions and keep the houst
in the order in which the mistress de-
sires 1t. In my case work with the
servants as much as possible, and treat
them, not az menials but as helpers.
have no trouble whatever in getting H.
much work out Of them as is necessary.
but never ask them to do unnecessary
work simply to keep them employed.
The maids do better work when they
zee the mistresscs are interested in
them, and the periods Of rest ] give
them better fit them for the necessary
work to follow. If they have nothing
to do there is no reason why I should
keep them in the house. at other timc'
as we'll as their day of, or their eve
ming off. They appreciate this by faith.
full services.
II all mistrcsses would look upon
their servants as women who must earn
their living, instead Of being slaveys or
dray -horses. they would not have to be
running around looking for help all the
time. I always find that the women
who are continually changing their
servants are themselves to blame. for
they do not treat them properly. Treat
your servants as you would be treated u
you were compelled to earn your own
living in the kitchen, the laundry, the
dining room or as housemnid.

Treats Maids Kindly

TO tho Editor Of tho Erenino Public Ledger:
Sir would like to say a word or
two regarding what Mrs. W. l.. NJ"
has to say concerning the servant aues-
tion. In her way Of thinking, servants
are ignorant, inferior creatures who
must not be allowed any freedom or
pleasure. In her letter she has shown
herself to be a heartless snob, and un-
doubtedly Is inferior to the girls whose
misfortune 1t is to be placed under her.
IL such be the case. Such a one cannot
keep q girl any length Of time and is
soured thereby.
! have always used kindness with my
maids and received in return courtesy
and obedience. I know Of one case
where q servant was employed by u
woman who, before her marriage,
