Film Story Told On Film
AT The Empire Theatre

The Empire Theatre announce
nent that the big Eastman film, "a
Trip Through FINLAND" will appear
on its program next Monday even
ing, October 9th should be of special
interest to movie fans.
The film story introduces every step
in the process of film making from the
cotton as it comes from the cotton
fields and the silver from the refner-
les, to the tiny strips of ribbon on
which the picture itself is shown.
The theme of the picture is of d.
rect interest to every movie fan whose
knowledge of the motion picture world
Las heretofore been more or less con-
fined to stars and producers. With
the names and habits of these he is
tolerably familiar, but comparatively
little has he been told of the way the
film itself, with which movies could
not exist, is made.
The industrial aspects of the picture
are relieved by delightful comedy
drawings from the pen of that clever
film cartoonist, Paul M. FELTON,, which
makes the picture as entertaining as
ii is instructive.

Hebrews Celebrate
Yom Kippur Monday

With great solemnity the Hebrews
of Pocomoke inaugurated the day of
Atonement, or Yom Kippur, last Mon
day. This is the hottest and most
widely observed day in their religious
calendar. Services were held in the
Armory Hall on Clarke avenue.
The outward form of observance
praticed by the Hebrews for the Day
OF Atonement is total abstention from
food and drink, the more devout al
lowing nothing to pass their lips dur
ing the "a hours. The intent of this
ceremony is to afflict the soul, in or
der that the worshiper be better dis
ciplined to exercise self control and
direct his actions for the upbuilding
and betterment of humanity. All He
brews in Pocomoke refrained from
work on Monday and their stores and
other places of business were closed
all day.

Lee Justice Found Guilty;
Sentenced To Penitentiary

Found guilty of serious charge a.
gainst young girl, eleven years of
age, Lee Justice of Salisbury, aged
So, was sentenced to serve nine years
in the Maryland Penitentiary by the
Court sitting at Princess Anne on
Monday afternoon.
The case was that of the State of
Maryland VS.. Lee Justice, charging
him with carnal knowledge of Esther
Collins, the eleven year old daughter
Of Mrs. Clara Collins of Salisbury. He
was arrested July 81, and the case
was removed to Somerset county for
tr.al.
Some years ago Justice came to Po-
comoke from Accomac county, Va,
and resided here for a year or more.
He left this city and it was later
learned that he was living in Sails
bury. He was regarded as bad
character and the sentence of 9 years
in the penitentiary for this crime was
no doubt what he deserved.

UnLolUfuL To Shoot
Ringnecked Pheasants

The attention of hunters is called to
the fact that it is unlawful to kill
Chinese Ringnecked Pheasants in
Maryland. Several cases of such kill
ing has occurred in Worcester county
recently, and if this practice is con-
tinued the game authorities say that
the offenders will surely be arrested
and prosecuted to the full extent of
the law. Deputy game wardens and
sportsmen in various sections of the
county are keeping a sharp watch for
offenders and will report all who en-
gage in this practice.
The Maryland State Game Depart
ment is trying to stock the state with
these ringnecked pheasants, but can
do little if lawless characters are 60
ing to kill them as fast as they are
Matched.

and plenty of it. You love to see him
eat so heartily. If your child is thin
and weak, give him Guides Pepto-

things to do.
Having sneezed involuntarily, he
added spell of coughing for which
there was no necessity. Il guess l

"What about, Ramsey?
"About it's bein' a squirrel" With
infinite timidity he turned his head
and encountered gaze so soft, so hal
lowed, that it disconnected him, and
he dropped a ''drumstick" of fried
chicken, well dotted with ants, from
his plate. Scarlet he picked it up, but
did not eat it. For the first time in
his life he felt that eating fried chick
en- held in the fingers was not to be
thought of. He replaced the drum
stick" upon his plate and allowed it
to remain there untouched, in spite of
great hunger for 1t.
Having looked down, he now found
difficulty in looking up, but gazed
steadily at his plate, and into this
limited circle of vision came Millas

gift. "There," she said in a motherly
little voice. "It's tomato mayonnaise

His own fingers approached tremu-

witch from her and conveyed it to his

have anything more to do with him 1;
he was ruined.
In his anguish he felt paper nap
kin pressed gently into his hand; a
soft voice said in his ear, "Wipe it off
with this, Ramsey. Nobody's MOTTO

So this incredibly charitable creature
was still able to be his friend, even
after seeing him mayonnaised! Hum

but avoided all further risks. He ate
nothing more.

Musical ability in a child can be
well judged by testing five faculties: :,
The sense Of pitch, which is the abn-,
ity to discriminate between higher
and lower tones; the sense of time or
rhythm; the sense of consonance,
which is the ability to tell what is
more pleasing and what is less pleas
ing; the sense of intensity; and mu-i
steal memory, or the ability to remem-
her number of tones from hearing
them once. Those qualifications are
probably in large measure inherited,
