The Easter season is fast drawing
to a close, by the time the paper
reaches you, Good friday our
minds will be concentrated upon the
scene Of tragedy that was enacted
on Golgothas Hill about two thous-
and years ago. Business and the rat
tie of machinery will cease in our
large cities for a period of time, so
that employees may think and pom

Glory. Do we realize what that
meant to the world, with all its
gloom and sadness, the Easter
morn brings the glad notes of joy,
as the resurrection truth is pro-
claimed to the whole world. He is
risen; He is risen, indeed.

The new production, made in CO.

graphic inside view" of life with
Uncle Sans naval flyers, staged on
a spectacular scale. Most of the
picture was filmed in the air, with
sensational airplane review, the
Suicide Squadron" in what is prob
ably the most thrilling series of
stunts" ever filmed. Landings and
takeoffs from the great airplane car
riers and a sensational rescue at
sea, with an airplane burned for a
beacon, are other of the amazing
details.
Through the thrills runs a human
interest story of the friendships of
a group of Annapolis students, and
a love story in which jealousy sew
ers friendship until time comes for
a supreme sacrifice.
George Hill, famous director of
Tell 1t to the Marines and "The
Cossacks," directed the new picture,

"The house mosquito or CuleX
pipien is found mostly in fresh wa

grassy banks and is particularly
found breeding around the house IN
nools. tubs, tin cans, ETC., or at town
dunns where no effort is made to
cover I'D the dump. They also breed
in catch basins at the different
street intersections. The remedy
here is to destroy all water con-
tanners that are not necessary ana
those that cannot be destroyed must
he oiled every ten days during the
breeding season. It is necessary,
therefore, in conjunction with any
local mosquito program that the
Town Council pass an ordnance
giving the mosquito fighters the
mower to investigate all properties
and to abate mosquito breeding
areas found on these properties
otherwise. no inroad can be made
into the house mosquito problem.
"Summing up, mosquito control is
primarily ditching and draining
with some filling in, and with some
use of oil, where permanent reme-
dies. can not be made at the pres
emit time."-Sunday Star.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

cannot be so telling as it once was, be-
cause with voice 1t would Immediately
be an exaggeration. This Is retroac-
tive. In many cases the gestures and
facial expressions are overdone for the
talkie, because it has been made with
the silent version In mind.
A feature talkie recently issued had
the dialogue part made in 1e Gays by a
talkie director after the picture director
had completed the story In silent form.
Corinne Griffith's recently completed
picture will probably be treated III the
same way. Gregory La Cava made the
silent picture and left Hollywood for an
Eastern vacation. The talkie angle will
be turned out by another expert.
Eouipping a theater for Vitaphone
and Movietone costs in the neighbor-
every small theater owner, and is being
arranged on the part-payment scale.
It is merely a matter of time before
the entire country win be equipped to
produce the new type of picture.
The famous flea market" Of Paris
will be feature of a coming picture.
1t is situated on the outskirts Of the
city in the open streets, and Is the
favorite place of American tourists on
Sunday mornings early.
There come the French peasants with
bits of jewelry and furniture, valueless
to them but often priceless in the eyes
of the connoiSSeur. There may be
found arguing and bargaining on the
grand scale and in the Latin manner.
If you can beat it for fervor and inten-
sity, even at an American base ball
game, you've done something. 1t will
be a novel angle In pictures.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Christmas All the Year.

Text: Let brotherly love con-
tinue. Hebrews, kill.
Christmas day Is gone. but let us
hope that Christmas Is not gone-that
is, the Christmas spirit.
OF course, it would be foolish to 60
on through the whole year hanging up
our stockings every evening, exchang-
ing gifts and burdening ourselves with
the strain of the Christmas season as
we now observe it-a strain many fool.
ishly carry to the point of vexation
and madness, to say nothing Of tbs
undue strain they put upon their
pocketbooks.
But wouldn't this be happier worli
if, after observing the customary forms
of Christmas, we would continus
throughout the entire year observing
the beautiful spirit of Christmas?
At Christmas time we all enter spon-
taneously into a sort of truce. Family
quarrels and neighborhood animoSities
are dropped. All along the line, in
shop, store and Office, we lay down
our arms and cease from all those petty
warfares, inspired by suspicion, jealousy
and spite. Suppose, after observing this
Christmas truce, we should determine
not to renew the fighting and the quar-
reling? What difference it would
make il we kept the Yuletide peace
throughout the year. a&
During the Yuletide 1t seems as
though we all become possessed with
the desire to make somebody happy.
Our concern for others extends beyond
our own household and friends. We
think of those less fortunate than our
selves and try to see to it that none
are forgotten in this happy and merry
making season. What if this spirit pre-
vailed all the year?
More nearly than at any other time
love rules at Christmas. and from this
we get some hint of what a different
world this will be when love rules per-
fectly and perpetually.

WINTERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

Many people perceive the romantic
only in the past; a frying from an inn
where Paul Revere once ate fried bacon
Is romantic in some peoples eyes. Old
lanterns, rocking chairs, walnut tables,
wigs, fans, pistols, are romantic to the
antiquarian. 1t would astoniSh you to
find the things that lovers of the past
will horde-hairpins, butter paddles,
churns, urns, states, books Of sermons
and ] know not what more.
In modern life we are firmly directed
to see the romance in business, avia-
ton, science, Burbank and other things.
1t Is not denying the romance inherent
in these endeavors and these endeavor-
ers to say that one need not look one
half so far. Just at this season OF the
year ! find no greater delight than In
the passage through the frosty Christ
mas air of Washington streets, Of the
potted flowers that florists send. love
to remember these tender children OF
the tropics-fiaming poinsettias, ele-
CANT azaleas. high-bred chrysan-
themums, fairy-light cylcamens,-as
they were delivered, in the excited, joy
full haste and mystery with which all
Christmas packages at the last minute
are brought to the door. love to OBJ
serve that for while the city, in its
dead and flowerless season, blossoms,
window after window. with freesias and
Winter cherries and gardenias and

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. January a.
While denials to the contrary are active
in the film colony, q well defined rumor
sets the arrival of the plastic screen al
a near date and accounts for much OF
the unrest in the attitude OF producers
toward the new year.
The plastic screen, regarded by many
as the outstanding development o.
sinematography, will give perspective
to pictures, will contribute the third
dimension. In other words, the plaStlc
screen will release the players from the
fiat background against which they
have moved these many years OF movie
making.
Laboratory work on this development
of movie making has been shrouded in
secrecy. But feature reel picture has
been brought to local projection room
by one of the heads of q foremost cor
poration-a release which proved the
experiment a success and branch OF
movie development ready for public use.
Scientists says this end of movie ex-
perimentation will completely revolu-
tioniZe movie making. If it can throw
q community into more utter chaos than
that into which talkies have cast the
hitherto silent village of Hollywood,
complete havoc will result.
OF $4,000 motion picture houses
throughout the United States only 1000
are wired for Vitaphone and Movietone.
So all pictures, except road shows
which play only very large cities dur
ing the first year of their release, must
be made in two versions. A pantomimic
version is created and then the talkie
version is made when the silent one is
completed.
For the present neither version will
be of the highest standard. 1t cannot
be under such conditions. Pantomime

Scarlet Fever Serum.

DR.. John A. Toomey reports that IS
out Of 2,058 scarlet fever cases treated
in Cleveland City Hospital in period Of
four and one-half years ending August
/, 1925, terminated fatally. That would
be mortality rate of 81 per cent,
which Is rather lower than the average
and much lower than is popularity at
tached to scarlet fever. Speaking Of
the use of serum in the treatment Of
scarlet fever (not prophylactic or i'm
munizing treatraent), DR.. Toomey re-
minds us that scarlet fever ordinarily
runs an acute course of from two to
seven days of fever, then the fever
naturally comes down, about the fourth
day in the average; so that II mercuro-
chrome or serum be injected on the
evening of the third day, the chances
are that the fever will be down on the
following day. Although DR.. Toomey
does not say so, this observation ex-
plains q great deal that you never see
in the papers. Even I can't tell you,
and am allowed lot Of rope.
II had a bimbo what would do
about this scarlet fever hazard? That's
the proper way to approach such a
question. Try it on your own, your own
blood, I was going to say, but that
wouldn't quite convey the meaning.
Suppose you've adopted your bimoo;
that doesn't make bit Of difference.

means your own body. Every parent
