Renee Adoree just can't seem to
get out of the World War.
She is now going through the II
tanie struggle for the third time,
and hopes it will be her last.
Miss Adorec was in Belgium at
the time Of the outbreak of the war.
and by an almost miraculous escape

with the company with whom she
was appearing on the stage in Brus'
sells.

part of Melisande in King Nidor :
production Of ''The Big Parade,
a story of the great war.
Now she has been cast for the
part of Renee, young circus rider,
in Phil Rosen S new production,
t.Heaven on Earth which comes
to the Palace theater to-
night. While not primarily war
picture, the story concerns France
between the wears of l9l4-l9, with
a spectacular war sequence.

French soldiers in this new picture
went through a definite routine of
getting their uniforms dirty and
muddy.

LUCK SAVED HIM

A Beroun farmer miraculously es-
capped death last week when the auto
mobile in which he was driving was
demolished by fast through train,
cutting the front part entirely off and
leaving him uninjured. 1t is just an
other concrete example of why one
should be very careful at railroad
crossings and bring the car to a
complete stop before getting to the
tracks. The Pine Poker reports the
accident as follows:
Jos. Freml, ST., who resides north
of Beroun and east of the track, had
q narrow escape from possible death
last Monday evening, when a car he
was driving in was struck by the
south-bound fast evening train. Mr..
Freml was alone in the car and had
just driven onto the track, on the
Mike Cabak crossing north of Beroun,
when the engine crushed into the car
and sheared off the front end just
like it had been cut by knife. The
front wheels, the motor, and every
thing in front of the body was sheared
off. The car, an Overland sedan,
didn't upset and Mr. Freml was still
sitting in the car, uninjured after the
train had passed"

TEMPERANCE WORKERS AFTER

Editor Askov American:
The National w. C. T. U. are using

best weapon is the press. l am Civ
ing a few facts regarding his political
record for publication in some of our
leading state newspapers, hoping that
more people will become familiar
with his attitude towards prohibition.
Many of AL Smiths political friends
advocate him on the ground that he
is wet but opposed to the saloon. In
reality, AL Smith, judging by his rec
ord, is the best friend the saloon has
in the U. S. A. The w. C. T. U. rec
ognizes in AL Smith man it fought
in New York ever since he was, a
small east side politician doing err
rands for the gang and getting his
votes from the saloon.
AL Smith has fought every proposal
made to reduce the number of saloons
or keep them closed on Sundays. He
fought us when we tried to keep a
decent distance between the churches
and the saloons. He has declared
openly that he was in favor of a re-
turn to the brass rail and the foam
on the beer. The first public state
ment he made in favor of saloon
was when he opposed the decent New
York element which was trying to get
rid of a notorious dive in his district,
some twenty years ago. AL Smith
blocked their efforts.
His most conspicuous act as COVER
nor was signing the bill to repeal the
New York state prohibition enforce
ment laws.
