ERUPTJ0N6 DUE no PoISOY.
Gus fLANTS.

Skin Inflammation, or dermaft-
tbs, as doctors caIi It, may be pro-
duced BY contact with various sub
stances OF animal, vegetable or
chemical nature. It is character
lied BY redness, swelling, little
yesicles Of water blisters, and
sensations Of itching, burning or
pain.
The dermatitis caused by contact
with poison ivy (Rhus to1icoden-
dron) is well known but the Try
itself is not so well known. The
ivy leaf Is trifolate-that is con-
sists Of three separate leayes on
the stem, not q single leaf in three
parts.
Other plants which may cause
dermatitis are the poison sgmach,
the nettle, the smartweed, c0whage,
and several members Of the prim-
rose family.
I Primrose eruption is not rarely
seen on the hands of women who

vascular rash with itching, chief

As for poison ivy, a susceptible

battle the exposed skin with soap
and water following any possible
exposure, then mop it with pledgets
of cotton wet with alcohol, in order
to dissolve off any of the volatile
essence of the ivy which may be on

"ouEEN OF sHEbA ON
 LAST TIME AT COLISEUM

Queen of Sheba," the William Fox super-special which is at the Coli scum for the last time tonight, is spectacularly magnificent and dra- matically superb It leaves one gasplng with amazement and admira- tion. The marriage of the Queen of Sheba to King Armud, her arrival at the court of King Solomon, the day of racing and games, the thrill ing chariot race between Sheba and the Princess Vashti, the arrival of David, the little Prince of Sheba; the battle between the forces of King Solomon and those of Adonijah, his recreant brother; the farewell of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon all are scenes never to be forgotten.
 Betty Blythe is altogether charm ing in the exacting role of the Queen, Fritz Lieber is impressive as King Solomon, and all other members of the notable cast give excellent ac- counts of themselves Great credit is due William Fox for having un- dertaken this colossal production and carried it through in such. splendid fashion; to J. Gordon Edwards, the director. and to all who have had any part in the great work

ever portrayed on the screen.
 The skill required in the portrayal of this role will be understood when one considers the fact that MT. Kirk wood must enact two racial charac- ters with entirely different charac- teristics-one German, the other an Englishman.
 The role becomes further involved when, as the story develops, it ap- pears that the German has killed the Englishman and impersonates him in Britain, acting as a spy of the I'm perial Prussian government just prior to the great war.
 After many thrilling scenes, a smashing surprise develops which is calculated to make the average mo- tion picture fan gasp. It is said that finale is unequalled in interest and dramatic power by any similar situ- ation ever shown in motion picture Mir. kirkwood's portrayal of this diff fieult role is highly artistic.
 This Paramount picture is an adap- tation by Monte M. Katterjohn of E. Phillips Oppenheim's novel.
 Ann Forrest, Winter Hall, Truly Shattuck, Alan Hale, Lawrence Grant, Fontaine LeRue and other noted play CTS are associated with MT Kirk wood in the all-star cast.
 MT Oppenheim writes for a big probably one of the largest claimed by any English or American author. ''The Great Impersonation" is one of his latest tales of mystery, love aad intrigue, and it has already gone through several editions. The plot deals with a mysterious mix-up in identities and is concerned with in- cidents immediately preceding the Great War There are many extras used in the various scenes which in- clude episodes in German East Africa. the royal court of Berlin and the palatial drawing rooms of an English mansion.

FRANK MAYO LAST TIME AT PALACE

It is doubtful if any photoplay of the South Sea Islands has ever been so rich in atmospheric touches and so absolutely correct in detail as is "The Shark Master" the Universal picture starring Frank Mayo, now holding the screen at the Palace The ater and for the last time tonight.
 In his desire to secure the correct atmosphere for "The Shark Master" Fred LeRoy Granville, the director, spent four months in filming the pie ture Long stretches of California coast were transformed to represent tropic beaches. Locations were used near Balboa, on the rocky shores near Laguma Beach, on the wind ward side of Catalina Island and on the beaches of the Santa Cruz Islands. In the making of the pie ture an old ocean liner was burned to the waters edge and sunk in the ocean.
 IA full rigged schooner at the mercy of a tropical hurricane is an other scene which sends tiny shivers mp and down ones spine. The boat is lashed by wind and wave, tons of water sweep over the decks, while in the foreground may be seen the cap tain, played by Frank Mayo, strug- gling with fear-craZed crew and compelling the men to return to their Costs. The ship, unnamed. falls a fvictim tO fhe storm and sinks he. meath the waves.

Get the Child's Viewpoint.
By EDITH LOCKRIDGE REID.

When you get irritable and ner vous, mothers, try sitting down or the floor beside baby-on his leve!- and then strive to grasp his point of vision After that if you've looked at things squarely, you'll be less likely to swoop down upon the half built house and the railroad track hurling all the dear possessions into the window seat every time the door bell rings.
 Then when Johnny starts to schco and comes home some day with a wirty weeping face and torn knick CTS, you know there's been fray Please don't be nasty. Stop and~get his viewpoint And when, as the story goes, you ask him which one of the boys did it, and he proudly says, That one with the black eye. Well, if you are tactful enough, you'll temper justice with sympathy, be- cause you recognize the primal in stincts that prompted him to defend his rights with regard for the new linen suit without hand embroidery on the collar.
 Any mother can make a child mind when he is small by using force and punishment that is severe enough but she who relies on her power to make a child do thus and so after the Puritan fashion 'tbecause I say so,' is forfeiting the confidence and loyalty of the child when he grows beyond that system of control The best parent combines in just the right proportion the qualities Of teacher, leader and pal-but to pro duce the sweetest most lasting har- mony, press just trifle harder on the third pedal Of this domestic symphony.

TOM MOORE AT PALACE OPENING SUNDAY MATINEE

Rupert Hughes has again shown his deftness in creating screen come dies, in his latest photoplay, From the Ground Up," which Goldwyn has produced with Tom Moore in the stellar role. The photoplay is at the Palace Theater Sunday and Monday, opening with matinee Sunday. The story gives Mr Moore every pos sfble opportunity to exploit his vari- ous and unique talents His smile is ever present, whether as ditch digger or as the superintendent of an office building. He puts his horse over the hurdles like professional jockey. And in the moments of pathos, there is sincerity about Tom Moore's acting that grips the heart.
 Helene Chadwick is MT. Moore's leading lady: and no man can be blamed for carrying her image about with him for years.
 Dorothy Devore and Neal Burns bid fair to become one of the most popu- lar pair in comedies. For the third time they are sharing the stellar 'honors in Christie two-reeler, Sneakers" the comedy feature of the Palaces bill.
 Sneakers tells the story of a husband and wife who seek to elude each other as a lark and then find themselves in the same peck of trou- ble. It is the first picture in which Neal and Dorothy have appeared where they were married from the start. A wonderful baby and dog add to the interest.

One of the fundamental secrets of successful training of the child is to see things from his viewpoint. Yet too often even very conscientious mothers overlook this in their en- thusiasm and joy over the baby. He is taken from his crib and handed about for admirers to examine and coo over, when he's much prefer to talking to himself about the red ball hanging from the ceiling.
 Then when he can toddle, mother enjoys putting on lovely white or dainty clothes and little silk socks and patent leather or white kid pumps or slippers. He does look so cute and dear! But he mustn't go out in the dirt-And o mercy, he must look where he's sitting or tnere'll be grass stains.
 This attitude omits the child's de- sires entirely. He is happier in rompers and can be just as clean and chubby and lovely, although mother must sacrifice her vanity.
 Another thing, a mother from the time her first baby is born, might just as well resign herself to a dis orderly house in the sense that i'm plies playthings about A normal child will sit on the floor and scat ter toys, and there's no use of mother being constantly on tension for fear some fastidious neighbor will come in and note the disarray. Just think how baby is enjoying himself. That's his world, and he can't see why that shabby old elephant and banged-up train and one-armed doll aren't the dearest sights in the world to anyone.

Seattle 'Star.)

Seeking a mother he cannot re member and a father he has never seen, Robert Kearns, 20, is in Seattle to continue nationwide search for his missing parents.
 Born in a box-like room in a hotel operated by his mother in Douglas, Alaska. 20 years ago, Kearns was christened Vernon Deuscharn Fowler His mother, harassed by the work of her establishment and the care of a small daughter. sent Kearns to his grandmother in Seattle in charge of a neighbor woman, Eva Kearns.
 In Seattle the grandmother could not be found and Mrs. Kearns took the child to New York. Years passed and the grandmother could not be found Denver, San Francisco and Portland were visited, all with the same result.
 The mother had vanished and the to be travelling with a road show in the Western states. A month ago Mrs. Kearns returned to New York and Robert continued his search alone.
 A faint clue to his mothers where abouts was given him when he heard that she had been divorced and had married a Seattle contractor named Hutchinson. So far the couple has not been found
