York Burlington Accidentally
 Killed While Duck Hunting

to the Arctic Ocean. Sympathy Is also felt for young Dennis who has had a shadow cast over his life by the tragedy. He was a classmate of York Harrington and his closest friend. For more than two years the two young men had been insepara- ble. They graduated together In June. In previous years York Bar had had to return to school before the hunting season opened. This year 1t was possible for him to remain here until the close of navi- gation. and he and Dennis had been planning for two years on a months hunting trip in the north when they were through school.
 Notwithstanding his overwhelm- ing grief. Captain Burlington was not disposed to censure young Dem his. Out of the depths of his great sorrow there came only an attitude of tenderness toward the heart broken young man whose unfortu- nate hands had held the gun that snuffed out his boys lief.

SCOUTING IN SMALL TOWNS

Out of the 18,65o troops of boy scouts in the country. there are over 6,000 that are not under council. This means that they are not in councils sufiieiently large to have a definite organization of men behind them who helps supervise and promote the work of two or more troops, the way they do in larger communities. Out of this last number there are over 1.OOo troops that are in places so small that they do not even have a post office or railroad station. What does this meant
 It means that. unlike what is usual ly supposed by many people. the scout. ing program of great outdoor activi- ties, through which the heart of the boy Is reached in helping to develop character and citizenship training. is just ae applicable to the rural boy as 1t Is to the urban chap.
 Wherever one good. red-blooded man of high moral character takes hold of a group of ten or more boys and ap. plies ti1e fascinating scouting program, the work brings the desired result. What Is this program7
 A boy learns the scout oath and law, how to tie a few knots. the hls' tory of the American flag and the form of respect that Is due to 1t. history of the scout badge and what 1t stand" for, and then he is sworn into thi. great worldwide brotherhood of scout ing as a tenderfoot. Then he starts climbing the most fascinating ladder of boyhood activities that have ever been presented. up the ladder to be come a second class, then c first class scout. He learns things about nature the birds. the trees, the flowers, the stars and the animals that he has never known before. He learns how to be more resourceful and take care of himself in the great outdoors. how to cook and to tramp and cook in tht open. He learns how to signal scout messages through the air in many diff care of immediate expenses and how to be of the most service In his com munity. The one slogan which guides his actions of everyday is to do al least one good turn daily. He stands by the scout motto of "Be Prepared This means to be prepared for an. emergency of life and to render serv Ice to others.
 At the present time there Is takine place in every part of the country what is known as anniversary round up. This means that there Is an al tempt being made to recruit a net in crease of 100000 scouts by the thir teenth anniversary of this movemen! in America. which takes place Febru ary 8. Many city troops are increas ing and there Is great field for In crease in rural troops.

Priscilla Dean.

PRISCILLA DEANS artistry on the
screen is said to be the product
of a solid lifetime OF experience.
Starting at the Independent age Of
two years, Miss Dean spent her child
hood on the stage. Her tutor was
her mother, May Preston Dean, form
erly one of the leading stars of the
theatrical world.
At thirteen Priscilla started in pic
tTres, playing a small part in a New
York studio. For two or three years
she alternated between the stage and
the screen. Then suddenly she an
nounced to her mother:
I'VE are going to California"
She had been heSitating about
which way to go forward in her
theatrical career-back to the stage
or to continue on UP the ladder of
screen fame. She decided on the
screen.
At Universal City she started play
ing major parts and leading roles in
comedies, serials and featurse. She
scored a marked success in THE
Flame of Life"
Miss Dean has a dynamic, decisive
personality. One famous critic has
said of her: "She is one of the six
real artists Of the screen. More than
that, she Is one of its real actors
not actresses; she has the direct
punch in emotionalism of man"

I,OOO-Year-O1d Whale.

4 CLOSEUP view of a monster
"a ninety-ton bull" whale, which
was sighted by Columbus in 1892 on
his voyage of discovery. Does that
give you a thrill? That probably
sounds just a trifle far fetched How
ever. that is exactly what it is claim
ed you may witness in the Elmer
Clifton production. Down to the Sea
in Ships
There is no question about your
seeing the ninety-ton bull" whale,
as in this thrilling photodrama a
closeup view is to be had of one of
these leviathans of the deep in a
death battle with the crew of the
Charles. v. Morgan. Every detail
of a thrilling battle, in which the
enraged mammal finally turns on the
boat, smashes 1t to kiHdling wood
and hurls the occupants into the
shark infested waters, Is graphically
shown before the astounded eyes of
the audience.
AS to Columbus seeing this same
whale there may be some doubt.
However, it is estimated that this
mammoth of the sea, which measured
eighty feet in length and weighed
more than ninety tons, was over 1000
years old. 1t is. therefore, not i'm
possible that Columbus en- route for
America on his old sailing bark may
have sighted this sefsame whale.

Observation-Disclosures Coogan
in Daddy

Jackie Coogan, in Daddy" his new
First National release. will be seen
for the first time in Washington at
Crandalrs Metropolitan Theater this
afternoon as chief feature of a spe-
cially assembled Easter week bill. In
the variety of moods which he ex
presses, ranging from rollicking

Jackie is said to furnish an amazing
~ well rounded performance. The
farce comedy is provided by Larry
Semon in his latest bit of buffoonery
for Vitagraph, NO Wedding Bells"
The Metropolitan Orchestra, under n.
Mirskey, will contribute excerpts
from Mascagnfs "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" and a varied list of short film
features will round out the program.
Daddy abounds in irresistibly
funny situations and not d few that
are exquisitely pathetic. Jackie is cast
as the son of famous violiniSt who
is deserted by his wife in a fit of
jealousy predicated on a wholly
Imaginary suspicion. She fees with
the baby to her parents and while the
child Is still a little tot, dies The
grandparents are sold out by creditors
and forced to become public charges
at the poor farm. Little as the lad is,
he refuses to be further burden and
sets out for the city to make his for
tune and buy back the old homestead.

RIALT0-"Down to the Sea in
Ships"

Breath taking thrills. gripping ro-
nance, heart interest, huEnor. pathos
and natural scenic effects of surpass-
ing wonder all are claimed for the
Elmer Clifton production, Down to
the Sea in Ships" which will be the
attraction this week at Moore's Ri
alto Theater, beginning today.
1t was approximately two years IN
the making. Also 1t has been de-
clared to be one of the most amazing
attractions ever presented on the
screen, utterly unlike any production
that has preceded it. 1t reflects ma
ture in her most thrilling moments
with intrepid whalemen in mad pur-
suit of the biggest game on land or
apparently within a few feet of the
ewes of the astonished spectator.
Back of this vivid perturbation OF
daring, however, runs one OF the
sweetest of love stories, romance re-
calling all the quaint customs of the
most famous whaling city in ths
world sinister conspiracy, its aim
the control of fine fleet of whalers
q hair-raising mutiny and the over
throw of brutal master, and storm
offshore, which no trick photog-
touches that make the greatness ol
the picture.
Raymond Mckee is the star, sup
ported by Marguerite Courtot, Leigh
Smith, William Walcott. Elizabeth
Foley and others. The whaling ship
