-----. PENSIONERS OF STORM"
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

The ingenuity of motion pic ture company started a snow slide of no mean proportions dur ing the making of exterior scenes in Mccall, Idaho, for Prisoners of the Storm" the Universal Jewel starring House Peters which comes to the Palace to night.
 The company toiled all day and succeeded in rolling up 150 or more huge snowballs on the top of a mountain near the city. The snowballs were left overnight to freeze, and next morning, when cameras were set up at the bot. tom of the hill and everything was in readiness, the huge spheres of snow and ice were started rolling down the long, steep noun. tainside.
 By the time they reached the focal center of the cafneras, they had gathered tremendous speed, and had collected additional tons of snow az they travelled.
 The result was one huge mass of snow. hurtling down the grade at terrific speed. and it made g very realistic and thrilling scene.
 The company which made the long location trip from Hollywood to Idaho included more than thir- ty persons. and the whole troupe spent two weeks in the snow bound territory.
 Prisoners of the Storm.' was directed by Lynn Reynolds, and is a picturization of James Oliver Curwcod's novel, "The Quest of Joan"
 Besides the star, House Peters, the cast includes Peggy Montgom.

THE MAGIC GARDEN"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

When Gene Stratton Porter wrote "The Magic Garden" shc unknowingly followed the old pre- cept of keeping the best for the last. Just before her death the popular authoress completed the story which later proved to be her greatest, it was also by a tragic coincidence to be her final work. J. leo Meehan, Mrs. Pof- ter's son-in-law, has taken this re- markable book and transferred it to the screen, where, as an F. B. o. production, it may be seen at the Coliseum tonight when it be- gins a two-day run. The picture reflectgt the spirit of it's author: it is replete with the richness of life, and reveals the depths of human nature as this great wo- man knew it to be. It deals with hearts and souls, and the events that happen to test man and prove him to be worthy The cast was selected by MT. Meehan with the greatest care in order that one would give a fap-ful delineation of the charactefEdla he or she was to make live oa the screen. Many favorites are to be found in this gathering among them: Margaret Morris, Raymond Keane, Philippe de La cey. Joyce Coad, William V. Mong, Charles Clary, Walter Wilkinson, Alfred Allen, Cesare Gravina, Paulette Duval and Hedda Hop per Mir Meehan wrote the adap- tation and Charles Kerr the con tinuity.

LIVE AND DIE IN FLOATING 6
 H0MES,CANT0N

CANTON, China, June 2S.-
 The floating population of Can
 ton is estimated at 100000 per
 sons. These people are born, live
 and die in their curious river
 craft, which vary from the sam
 pan, a small row boat, to cargo
 flats and sea-going junks.
 The origin of these river far
 ing people is one of the most in teresting tales to be heard about this city of Southern China. The tale goes that these aboriginal Chinese took to the water three centuries ago, when the Manchu Tartar hordes from the north con quered China and the alien Ching
 dynasty replaced the Chinese
 Mings as the rulers of the Mid ile Kingdom.
 These Chinese at Canton re-
 fused to give allegiance to the
 Manchu barbarians and sought to
 escape by living anoat. The new dynasty retaliated by including the beat population with other outcast classes actors, barbers and criminals--all of whom were
 debarred from public examina- tions and from government serv- ice. This ban was not lifted until the revolution of 1911.
 Among the many interesting
 boat types of Canton, the curious clipper boats, shaped like a
 Dutch wood shoe, are distinct.
 Their roofs make them top
 heavy, but they are comfortable
 and very fast. The coastal junks are peculiar in that their heavy, square-rigged sails rest part of their weight on the masts. which are inclined forward five degrees. In many cases the sails are per forated to increase the pull of the wind.
 Many of the junks have a gild-
 ed Buddha enshrined in the stub os oo", oi piS, puiSl liS hsi tg es painted on the sides. The boat masters, called Laodah, explain
 the custom: Suppose boat have no eye, how fashion can see?
 Suppose him no can see, how
 fashion can walk all proper" All large junks now carry a heavy armament of muzzle-load-
 ing cannon for protection against
 pirate attacks in the maze of
 waterways about Canton. These
 are a daily occurrence.

Seek to win the child's confidence
SO that he is not afraid to admit a

punishment sometimes causes chill
dren to lie in self defense.
See that SO far as possible the
young child is not put into a sit
uation that is too difficult for his
abilities and his experiences to meet
alone. A child may acquire unneces-
sarily a keen sense of having failed
which will discourage and hamper
him in meeting his next difficulty no
matter how simple it may be. Each
success makes the next success
easier.
Help the child to meet directly
each problem as it arises without
undue worry and without remorse
over mistakes.
Avoid sentiment and undue shield
ing of the child In situations which
he should face frankly for himself.
