ACE OF SPADES TITLE PAGE
Fact That II Was ONCE DUTY CARD"
Responsible for the Custom That
Now Prevails.

IN England the first act imposing q
tax upon playing cards provided that
no pack should be sold unless marked
by the stamp office to show that the
duty had been paid, one stamp being
placed on the wrapper and another on
the face of zone of the cards"
good deal of confusion arose, his
torians explain, and as the law was
often evaded later regulation laid II
down that the ace of spades should be
the duty card and that 1t should be
printed by the authorities themselves,
the makers supplying the paper. Sheets
of 20 aces of spades used to be issued
by the stamp Office to the manufactur'
ers for Il sovereign.
A century later an act lowered the
duty to threepence, and this was laid
on the wrapper supplied by the stamp
office. The manufacturers, then, OF
course, printed their own aces OF
spades. but the custom Of having the
card different from the rest still pre-
vailed, ard the ace was, and Is, gen
orally utilized as mn advertisement for
the makers-a kind OF title page as 1t
were, to the pack.

Lunonbera Settled by He..lsns.

One Of the quaint spots OF Nova
Scotia Is the fishing town of Lunen-
berg, where the smell of fish Is over
all. Churches, fish flakes, curing plants,
steep hills, bold headlands, shIpyards,
skilled fishermen and slightly fleet OF
fishing vessels, oxen and Germnn-look-
ing faces, figures and names, are the
characteristics. The place was set
tied by Hessiaps back In George Tvs
time, and marked traces of the early
settlers remain. The housewives are
so neat that they even put lace cur
talns at the cellar and woodshed
windows. 4 prodlgious changing Of
church bells goes On in Lunenburg
every Sunday, for the place has many
places of worship. From Lunenburg
come some of the hardest and most
skillful mariners and fishermen In the
world, willie the fishing fleet aud the
vessels built there have q wide repu-
tatlon.

According to HoyIs,"

Edmund Hoyle 1672-1760) was an
English writer on whist and other card
games. He was the first man to sys-
tematize the laws of whist, and for a
time he supported himself by teaching
the game. His famous "Short Treatise
on Whist" appeared in London In 1912.
Rules for ether games followed, and
his book Of games, WHICH included the
"Short Treatise" has passed Into
many editions. His name has benome
proverbinl, and "Hoyle" In common
speech means book Of rules and In

FISH THAT PROTECT BRIDGES
musseIs Are Used Also in a Great
Many Parts Of Europe for Build
Ing Sea Walls.

When you pluck mussel from the

weed that fringes rock 1t does not
come away very easily, for the shell Ia
secured firmly to the rock by means
of mass of coarse threads.
These form the cable by which the
mussel anchors Itself so securely that
1t can withstand the force OF the
strongest seas.
In its young days the mussel moves
about with the best Of them, but after
a short spell of gaddlng about II set
ties down In one spot for the rest OF
Its existence.
So strong nre the united threads OF
a colony of mussels that engineers re-
sponsible for building sea walls on the
continent make considerable use OF
them, says London Tit-Bits. II mus
sells can be induced to settle on the
most exposed parts of the structure
tie toughest seas will do little harm,
for they bind the stones together so
tightly that there is no fear that they
will give way.
In England the bridge over

It's foundations together.
When the bridge was in danger OF
giving way many years ago genius

Of russpls round Its piles. The ex-

tie bridge stands firm to this day.
Fresh supplies OF mussels are put
down from time to time.

Charles de Roche, French Star,
Makes American Debut
In This Film

Marking as 1t does the Ameri-
can screen debut Of Charles de
Roche, the French star whom
Paramount imported to take Val
entino's place in the schedule Of
films that had been planned for
the sleek-haired Rodolf, 1.-THE
Law Of the Lawless'' which is be-
ing exhibited at the Columbia
this week Is doubly interesting.
Adapted from story by Konrad
Bercovici-who, by his own tell
ing, Is a gypsy himself and who,
incidentally, is rapidly becoming
well known In American letters
The Law OF the Lawless'' Is a
story of one Of those nomadic
tribes who move SO colorfully
through the beauty Of southern
Europe: and all of the delightful
charm and glitter OF the color
loving gypsies has been trans
ferred to the silver sheet in this
entertaining film play.
A cast Of notables has been
gathered for the transferring Of
Bercovici's tale to the shadow
stage. The chief role--that of
Sahande, the Tartar girl who is
purchased from the auction block
by Costa, the gypsy chief-i en-
trusted with entire success to
Dorothy Dalton, star Of many an
other Paramount picture but
rarely seen in costume film
such as this. The character. Of
Costa himself is played by de
Roche. The latter is both per-
sonable and talented. He has
evidently been well schooled in
the art of cinematics before he
ventured to essay a role in the
greatest Of filmdom's producing
centers, California. As the dash
ing gypsy chieftain he carries off
the honors OF the picture.
Theodore Kosloff. as Yancu, the
Tartar youth enanoured OF Sab
ande, gives a weIl-thought-out in
depreciation Of the role. Perhaps
the fact that Kosloff himself
came originally from part Of
Russia where Tartars are no now
city serves to lend authority to
his Characterization. Fred Hunt
ley as Osman, Margaret Loomis
as Fanutza and Tully Marshall as
All Mechmet are also interesting.
The added film is an Al st.
John. comedy from the Fox
Studios, "A Jungle Romeo This
is q broad burlesque on the Tar
ran of the Apes" stories and well
worth the price OF admission for
just one or two Of its hilarious
moments.
