Pride Is AffrOnted.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 12.-French
seamen may boycott the port of New
York, Capt. Ernest Maurras, COM
mander of the French liner Paris,
said today, if they are to be forced
to strip for physical examination be
fore being allowed ashore.
AS the Paris sailed today with a
crew that had not stepped ashore bo-
cause of their refusal 10 comply with
the edict of the health officials, Capt.
Maurras predicted that some of his
crew would not sign on again when
his vessel is ready to leave Havre for
the return.
French pride, the crew members
stated. when the order was an
nounced Wednesday, was affronted
by the rule. Rather than compromise
on what they termed q matter of
modesty, they spent the days in port
| on the vessel. Had any of them gone
ashore, the French Line would have
been liable to a $1,000 fine for each
| transgreSsor.
Other French crews and those Of
English vessels submitted to the
| examination.

Make me a headboard, Mister, smooth
and painted you see;
Our Ma she died last winter, and sister
and Jack and me
Last Sunday could hardly find her, $50
many new graves about,
And Bud cried out we've lost her'"
when Jack gave little shout.
We have worked and saved all winter,
been hungry-sometimes own
But we hid this much from father un-
der the old store stone.
He never goes there to see her; he
hates her; scolded Jack
When he heard us talk about her and
wishing that she'd come back.
But up in the garret we whisper and
have good time to cry
For our beautiful mother who kissed
us, and wasn't afraid to die;
Put on that she was forty in November
she went away,
That she was the best of Mothers and
we haven't forgot to pray
And we mean to do as she taught US
be loving true and square,

Let the board be white, like Mother"
(the small chin quivered here);
And the lad coughed something under
and conquered a rebel tear.
Here is all we could keep from father
a dollar and thirty cents,
The rest he's got for coal and flour and
partly to pay the rent"
Blushing the white lie over and drop
ping the honest eyes,
what is the price of headboards, with
writing and handsome size?"
'Thre dollars?" A young roe wounded
just fall with a moan; and he
With face like the ghost of his mo-
ther sank down on his tattered
knee,
"rhfee dollars? and We shall lose her,
next winter the rain and the snow
But the boss had his arm around him
and cuddled the head of ton
Close up to the great hearts shelter
and womanly tears fell fast
Dear boy, you shall never lost her; c
cling to your blessed past!
Come tomorrow, and bring your sister
and Jack, and the board shall be
The best that this shop can furnish
then come here and live with me-
When the orphans loaded their treas

The surprise of a footboard varnishe'

And 4eEdith st. John, Our Mother Bah!
Jack gave his little shout
And Bud like a mountain daisy, wen
dancing her doll about.
But Phil grew white and trembled ant
close to the boss he crept,
kissing him like a woman, shivere'
and laughed and wept;
do you think (and here he faltered
ain heaven that she'll be glad?"

"sALLY OF THE SAWDUST"

Ranked by national critics as one
of the six best pictures of the year,
D. W. Griffith, newest production
sally of the Sawdust," " which comes
to the Plaza Theatre for two day,
Wednesday and Thursday, March II
and 18, is the first motion picture to
receive this distinction where the
critics have seen it in an unfinished
condition.
During one of the trial showings
of the picture, which Mr.. Griffith
always makes that the public may
tell him what is interesting and
what is not; several national critics
on vacation in this vicinity, dropped
into see it.
So enthusiastic were they, that
they Immediately telegraphed for the
remainder of the board OF critics TO
come to a later showing.
Then they voted it one of the best
pictures of this year, and one OF the
most entertaining pictures ever
made.
No other producer ever has had so
many pictures ranked in the select
list of best as Mr.. Griffith, but for
delightful entertainment, laughter
human play of emotions and splen-
did acting, "Sally of the Sawdust
ranks with the finest things he has
ever done.
The charm of circus life and car
nival merriment for the background
is illuminated with the joyful gaiety
of two characters new to the screen
a side show entertainer, juggler and
handy-man with other peoples poe
kets; and his ward who believes she
is his daughter and who loves and
fights for him.
The comedians part is played by
w. C. Fields, for years famous
laughmaker of the stage and now
star of the Ziegfeld "FOllies." The
daughters part is played by Carol
Dempster, the young California girl
who has made such sensational ad-
vances in her screen work in the
last year. The part of Sally NC
Gargle, the whimsical, impulsive
waif Of the circus, who idolizes her
"Pop." and accepts his greatest rog-
ueries as the perfection of "a no
BILE. honorable gentleman" is the
best work of her career and one OF
the memorable triumphs OF screen
acting,
T Others whom Mr.. Griffith recruit
ed from the stage for parts in the
picture are Alfred Lunt, stars oi
"The Guardsman" and Glenn Anders
featured player in the Pulitzer prize
winning play, "They Knew What
They Wanted"
The cast is the largest Mr.. Grittitf
has used in any picture excepting
his great spectacles such as "rh'
Birth of Nation" America" "Or
phans of the Storm" and Hearts o
the World"
The scenes are lavishly staged
varying from circus activities to thu
social splendors Of beautiful homes
And as typical of Grif1th's work, th'
action grows to a sensational finish
including one of the most \hilariou
scenes ever screened in which tn
irrepressible McGargle drives his ca
across country in an effort to get t
the courthouse to save Sally iron
disgrace.
