Men and women have killed
themselves for thousands OF
reasons. Grief. greed. coward
ice. very often love. and fre-
auently despair cause suicide.
One man killed himself because
he was tired of dressing and
undressing every day.
A famous Greek philosopher,
past ninety. stumbled and fell
as he left his class. He killed
himself in disgust at the in
firmity OF old age.
The unfortunate Mrs. Anna
Glickstein. of New York, found
an entirely new reason for kill
ing herself. Her husband was
recently shot dead by young
woman. The widow commits
suicide in fear that the killer Of
her husband would be acquitted
by the jury-and she was not
willing to live to see that.
The majority Of us cling to
life desperately through all ills.
With a few life hangs on q
thread.

LONDON, April Is. - Dublin,
Sligo and Belfast today are armed
camps, while the whole country
views with the deepest alarm the
approach of Easter Sunday, which
is believed to be the date set for a
coup against the Irish provisional
government.
Anniversary OF Revolt.
Eastertide is the anniversary Of the
Dublin uprising of 1915. But six years
ago the Irish were united against the
British; today they are arrayed
against each other.
The Free State troops have not
made any effort to dislodge the mutt
neers from Four Courts building,
which was seized yesterday.
Griffith was not cowed by the
threats against him at Sligo.
"I am going to Sligo and will speak
there despite the menacing situa-
tion," he said. ..
The public Is taking little stock
In the statement Of Roderick O'Con-
nor, one OF the chief leaders of the
mutinous faction OF the Irish re-
publican army, that there ~ not
going to be a counter-revolution
against the Irish Free State.
But O'Connor pointed out that he
was speaking only for himself, and
that he was not responsible for the
actions of Eamonn de Valera. chief
political leader Of the /. A. A. rebels
Recruits for the mutineers con-
tinue to flock into Dublin, command
eering food. military supplies, and
houses for billets.
Picked Troops In Dublin.
The guards of the loyal section OF
the i. r. A. are constantly being in
creased by picked troops.
The British soldiers in Dublin are
being held in their barracks, and
will not be used except in case OF
an emergency.
Sligo where Griffith, president of
the Dali Eireann, is scheduled to
deliver a political speech tomorrow,
has become a grave danger spot.
There are large forces OF both rival
factions OF the Irish republican army
at Sligo and each side is ready for
battle, The rebels are believed TO be
ready TO take drastic measures to
prevent Griffith from speaking.
Collins May Be Seized.
The Standard and Chronicle re-
port that belief has developed in
some quarters that the mutineers
intend to try to seize Michael Col.
Inns and other responsible members
of the Irish provisional govern
ment over the weekend.

gentleman cannot keep his mind

that the reserve be used to
finance poorer people in proper

Strange what practice does to

That was done quite successful

In India, Buddhists, believ-
ing that numbers count in pray

time the little wheel goes
around, prayer is supposed to
be said, and the prospects of
eternal happiness are so much
the better, Buddhist priests
who find profit in the prayer
wheels even have them turned
,by water powar. That saves
the trouble of turning the
wheels. ~

and they will go a hundred

was settled.
Up above, in the Buddhist
heaven, somebody is obliged to
count fast and do rapid book

Buddhist prayers. It's an in
teresting pious picture. Will

make a cheerful speech about
It. You see the mountain

Lady Doyle, wife Of the novel

Among primitive men religion
was born in fear Of death and
the fear of dreams.

Just as thrilling as 'Thunderclap' or
any serial" Chief Maurice Leonard
and Mayor Herbert ]. Corwine were
among the guests present for the
showing, and both heartily endorsed
the production as being the trueSt
police picture they have seen.
1t was for a prologue to this pic
ture that scenes of the Topeka police
were taken here this week. The pic
ture tells in graphic manner the way
in which police trip up criminals and
the prologue will show how the To-
peka police really work.
I'm the Name of the Law is a
father picture primarily, but it is a
mother picture, too, and a sister pic
ture and a brother picture. 1t is en-
acted by as capable q cast as could be
gathered for the occasion. including
the children who play the parts of the
principals in the ''foreword."
There are chuckles of mirth all thru
the progress of the story. There are
contrasting tears of bitter sorrow, fol-
lowed by smiles of joy and gladness of
heart. Realism has been the watch
word of the producer and there is not
one false note from first flash to the
scribed in the scenario could have
happened and has been shown on the
screen in such a way that one believes
it really did happen.
The picture has an educational
value too. It shows the real methods
by which the police prevent crimes
and avert casualties. The movies for
the first time have actually invaded
the police departments innermost ma
chinery but none of these scenes have
been dragged in. They are shown in
the natural progress of the story in
such way that one seeing them will
believe he has known of the things
all the time.

will be shown the very latest Christie

Monte Cristo" is one of the biggest
ana best pictures that we have ever
had the pleasure of presenting to the
people of Topeka. Viewed from any
angle it is a really worth while pic
ture. The story has been tried and
tested for years ever since it came
from the pen of Alexander Dumas.
Millions have read the book and
many more millions are going to see
the picture.
The picture merely concentrates the
dramatic narrative, sharpens the sa-
lient characters and brings to the pub

weeks to read the twelve volumes, you
