Indications have already pointed to
the fact that the whole flock of dane

for the phone has been busy for the

who are left that have not been heard
from will bring the total to 100 per
cent possibilities for the week
dance.

Kiddies Matinee a. Strand

The special 2-cent kiddies matinee
at the Strand will take place this
afternoon between the hours of 1 and
5, the occasion. being the presentation
of the current installment OF
Miracles of the Jungle"-the fea-
ture animal picture which is attract
ing more attention than any chapter
feature to ever show the city.
More than 1000 animals of all de-
scriptions take part in the strange
story. The sequence takes up the
thread where it was left off last
week, and carried the principals on
through more thrilling experience and
exciting adventure.
The kiddies are all intensely inter-
ested in the story-it is the most
spectacular display OF animals ever
seen in any film-the encounters be-
tween men and beasts being the very
acme of realism. Monkeys. lions,
tigers, leopards, elephants. in fact it
seems every class of jungle beast is
represented in the galaxy Of stars"
seen in the picture.
On the same program there is be-
ing shown ''The Alarm said to be
one of the fastest western stories so
far this season
The remaining features include the
comedy and the Mutt and Jeff car
toon release.
Tomorrow starts the engagement
at the Strand of False Kisses'-
starring Miss Dupont, the prettiest
blond in America. False Kisses" is

for the matinee today, and promise
to out do themselves, in entertaining
the large crowds anticipated.
The ability of the boys not only in
the musical line but in their bearing
and general department, reflects the
careful training they have had at the
mission. 1t does ones heart good to
see the way in which they conduct
themselves. They possess a snap
and a firm quick step that comes
only from right living.
In addition to the band concert.
which by the way pleased Sousa very
much, they present number of songs
both in English and tribal languages.
The hit of the whole program how
ever is the war dance. Many old
timers who were in the audience,
shivered with apprehension. when
they heard the blood curdling shrieks
and the familiar thump- thump- thump
of the home made cowhide drums,
Dressed in full Indian costume the
boys throw themselves into the dance
with all the abandon of their fore
fathers on the eve of a raid
The dances themselves are marvels
of rythm and tone. Dull almost
drab, is the dreary music. But the
dances themselves are the utmost in
abandon. the dancers working them
selves up to high tension which does
not abate until sometime after the
dance is over. 1t is a page from the
past, these dances, and that, speaks
well for the advancement the Indian
has made even If it is a compulsory
advancement.
In addition to this program which
is for the benefit of the St. Johns
Indian mission, there will be seen the
regular show. featuring May Collins,
and Richard Dix, in "All's Fair in
Love" taken from the New York
stage success "The Briday Path. >"
This clever comedy has set the en-
tire musical comedy world agog. For
good zippy entertainment it has no
equal, unless 1T is the picture ver-
sion of it.
A Hall Room Boys comedy. "Stars
and Stripes" but not the kind you
think, and the Columbia Orchestra,
are the additional features on this big

BRANDS SENSE OF HuMoR

Aristide BRAND has a very pleasant
sense Of humor When at the famous
March, 1921, meeting in London, Lloyd
George, expecting a reasonable in
IDENTITY suggestion from the German
delegate, Doctor Simons, found that,
on the contrary, he seemed to be put
ting the blame for the war on the,
allies and almost to ask an apology
from them to the poor overburdened
Germans, the British prime minister
penciled a brief note TO BRAND. In
five minutes time you will hear that
it Is we who owe money to the
Germans"
BRAND said nothing. but took out
his watch and placed it on the table
before him. At the end Of exactly
five minutes he pushed the watch
over TO Lloyd George with a paper
on which he had written. 'Give it
to him, and give him your shirt along
with it,"
Even sentiment, so potent factor
with all Latins, never prevents
Brands sense of humor from func-
tioning. One day during the war
BRAND. then prime miniser. after
lunching at a restaurant on the Rue
Royale with Lloyd George, set out
on foot with him for the foreign office.
On their way through the Place de
la Concorde, they stopped before the
statue of Strasbourg, daped in Grape
and covered with banners and flowers
by devoted Alsatians.
Said Lloyd George, with much emo
ton, II can never see that statue in
its trappings of woe without an un-
speakable sadness coming over me-"
BRAND grasped his hand. saying,
REST assured that when this war
ends NE will remove those sad dra-
peries."
The distinguished Briton became
thoughtful for a moment and then

Los ANGELES-The pen packs a
mightier wallop than the fighting
glove.
Jim Tully. one time professional
boxer, and now professional scenario
writer, gives the decision, having
hooked his gloves fo~ a flock of pen
ellis and typewriter.
Born in Ohio 33 years ago, Tully
grew up in a town where a kid had
to fight in order to play on the
streets. And Jim just couldn't get
along without play. Six poverty
ridden years at home We're succeeded
by six hard years in an orphanage,
after which he struck out to batter
his way around the world via the
vagabondia route.
Il learned that one must fight in
order to play--jn one way or an
other" observed Tully, as he de-
livered the Knockout punch to a see
mario for the Goldwyn company, un-
der tutelage of Rupert Hughes, the
novelist
Arizona republican., 1922-01-14

After a varied career, literally
sprinkled with pugilistic encounters,
Tully's life was swayed by a note
from beautiful library girl, whose
name Jim refuses to reveal, who
wired him, Whats the use in whip
ping the whole world if you're going
to end up as a bartender"
Jims answer was to choose the life
of letters, whereupon he learned, he
says, that the gruelling drudgery OF
the prize ring is cinch compared to
the tortures of learning to write with
only a meagre schooling as equip
ment.
Fortunate circumstance won Tully
the interest and sponsorship of Ru-
pert Hughes, with whose help he has
succeeded in publishing his first
novel, "Emmet Lawler."
Anything worth having is worth
eating your heart out for" says Jim.
But first be sure it's worth having,
no matter what the cost"

A VALUABLE cow

Some years ago the last remaining
farmer in a prosperous New York
suburb bequeathed to his son his only
property sixteen acres of land, a
ramshackle barn and one COW. The
youny recipient had no money to
develop the land, and was at loss
to know what to do with his COW,
whose habits he did not understand.
He finally decided to keep her as a
remembrance of his father, and she
grazed away contentedly.
Ten years later there came an op-
portunity to dispose OF the land at
$1,000 a lot, or 1892 600 for the whole
Based on this valuation, the taxes
during the ten years would have
amounted TO something like $4,000
whereas, because Of the COW, the
property had been taxed during the
period only $1600.-WaI Street Jour

 "The National Board of Farm Or ganizations protests the contemplated program, the effect of which can only end in disaster to the nation We earnestly request Congress to reject the measure" ... The Presidents pathetic plea for labor support for the ship subsidy was based upon the statement of one op- orator that 1t cost more to operate an American ship because American wages were so high and therefore the operators should be compensated. The President completely ignored the facts presented repeatedly by An drew Furuseth, president of the Sea mems Union, that wages and sub sistenee of American seamen are be- low those provided by English and Norwegian ships and that American shipowners have led in cutting wages of seamen.
 Meantime rumors refuse to be downed that Chairman A. B. Lasker of the U. s. Shipping Board will be the head of gigantic ship combine operating in the Atlantic as soon as he has put over his subsidy deal He is working hard and is apparently the dominating personality. in the White House.

NELSON OPENS GUN
 ON SHIP SUBSIDY

 Attacking it as an opportunity for special interests to gather in hun dreds of millions of "swag" from the public treasury, MT. Nelson charged that the valuation of ships now claimed by the government to be worth some two hundred odd million dollars would be increased to ap- proximately one billion dollars.
 He referred to the mission here of Georges C1emenceau and appealed to the administration to adopt a policy toward Europe that would prevent this country being regarded by the rest of the world as greedy and as a bully.
 MT. Nelson aroused the ire of the subsidy advocates by quoting the British under secretary of state for foreign affairs, Hartnsworth, as say ing the American subsidy would pro- vide an assured return to it's beneh ciaries of I25A per cent. h..
 That does not mean profts," said Representative Mills, (Rep., N. Y.) /.
 "I want to ask," interrupted Repre- sentative Frear (Rep, Wis.), whom the gentleman from New York is speaking for at this time, or was the gentleman speaking for the people who want the ship subsidy, who are largely located in New York?"
 T was speaking for the sake of truth, when the gentleman misquoted an authority" replied MT. Mills.
 "The gentleman from New York, continued MT. Frear, "has been on the opposite side of practically every that the last Congress passed, and he is wrong."
 T have been in opposition to the gentleman consistently" replied MT: Mills warmly, "and I am proud of if y !
