HOLLY WOOD, June l3-'WOm-
en- in War" Screenplay by F.
Hugh Herbert and Doris Anderson.
Directed by John H. Auer. Princi-
pals: Elsie Janis, Wendy Barrie,
Patric Knowles, Mae Clarke, Doro-
thy Peterson, Barbara Pepper, Bill

Tapley.
First 100 percent new World
War movie to hit the screen,
women in War;" succeeds in
proving, however unintentionally.
that women in war should stay
home and stop letting their emo
tons clutter up the front.
These women don't. They're
right in the thick of things at a
French b hospital. They've
come over from England to serve
under head nurse Janis and com
petent assistant Peterson. They
do beautiful work here, too, and
look nice and professional in their
starched uniforms. By the m e
they're called to active front duty,
however, the depredations of a
fifth columnist" named Love
have brought things to a pass
prettier than most of the partici-
pants.
The handsome man in the case
is Knowles, R A. F. officer. He is
engaged to Gail (Clarke), but falls
for Pamela (Barrie). With t h e
nursing unit taking sides in the
issue, Janis gets order to take am
balances under a friendly barrage
to a vital sector. Here Love has
Gail, driving n of the three mer-
cy wagons with Pamela beside her,
do a silly thing. She drives right
into the friendly fire.
By the time repentant Gail has
died trying to mend her jealous
crime. and Janis has risked her
life effectively mending it, the
ambulances never get where they
were going, and the friendly bar
rage has had to be lifted to save
the silly femmes. This is obvious
ly tough on the waiting wounded
and a comfort to the enemy
There is some pretty good war
spectacle here-an air raid dur
ing a channel crossing, and the
barrage fire on the deserted vii
lage where the girls are trapped
most of it is pale beside lie
horrors of today's newsreeis.
Salvage: good work of attrac-
tive Wendy; comedy of Gilbert
and Dennie Moore; the welcome
return of Mae Clarke; the inter.
est attached to a talkie debut of
Elsie Janis, once sweetheart of
the A. E. F." whose personality
shines through her apparent cam
era uncertainty only when S h e
initiates a harrumphing English
colonel; some bright lines here and
there; and, for those who demand
one, a plot revealing how mother
love, even In war, can regenerate
a Maynard daughter.

Man bout

By George Tucker

NEW YORK, June 10 - The
members of the Song Writers
Guild recently announced that the
winners of their newest contests
were two inmates of San Quentin
prison. This is in line with Win
ners of previous contests among
amateur composers, as the lucky
contestants have turned out to be
a cattle rancher, a precision en-
gineer, a fire eXtinguisher sales
man, three housewives, and a man
who drives a truck for a grocery
| store.
The Song Writers Guild is an
organization on Broadway that
encourages amateurs to compose
modern music. The contestants
send in their songs; the judges
select the one that in their opin-
ion is most deserving and guar
antees publication through a rec
ognized publishing firm.
Since the current winning song
comes from two young men in a
penitentiary, it seems worthwhile
to look into their background, and
determine the circumstances I'M
der which the tune was inspired.
It's title is I'm On the Verge of
a Merge" Its composers are
Dwight CLAIR and John D. Haw-
kins. Mr.. CLAIR, it is alleged, was
assigned to San Quentin as the
penalty imposed on him for driv-
ing mans automobile
without the owners permission.
MI. Hawkins, according to my in
formation, is there because there
were insufficient funds in a GER
tain bank to cover his checks.
Three days from now, that is to
say, on June IA, Mr.. CLAIR will be
a free man. 1t is a particularly
happy occasion for him because he
and Mr.. Hawkins have been
awarded the 5000 prize that goes
with the selection of a Guild win
ming number.
How did they happen to write
I'm On the Verge of a Merge?
It seems that CLAIR and Haw-
kins attended harmony classes in
the prison, both being interested
in music. Hawkins himself is quite
expert on a guitar.
1t seems also that from the ro-
togravure section of a Sunday
newspaper someone tore the pic
ture of a pretty blonde girl. 1t was
pasted on the wall. 1T was in the
tailor shop" explains CLAIR in a
letter to the Guild, land as we
paused to stare at it I said, Did
you ever see anything that looked
more like an angelo That gave
us the idea for a title, and we at
once Communicated, the picture.
We hadn't any idea who she was,
but we ransacked every newspa-
per we could find until finally we
found another picture of her and
identified her. She was Jean OAR
ling, the little ex-blond girl in the
Our Gang Comedies. Later, after
we had worked awhile on h e
song, l was gazing off into space
and failed to hear a remark that
was addressed to me- Don't both
er with him. Hawkins said. He's
on the verge of a merge with an
angel And that was the title"
And so, I'm On the Verge of a
Merge" now makes it's appearance
among dance orchestras through
u the country. It has been in
Toduced by Mitchell Ayres (who
also recorded it for Bluebird) and
sung by Mary Ann Mercer, the
Ayres vocalist.

No Task Is Too Great

The agenda of the Northwest

OF every ounce of energy at our
command and the united support
of every race man and woman in
Seattle. No Task Is Too Great
The task before us gives us no
time to engage in controversy
INDUCED in by individuals with
warped minds and wicked tongues.
We rather regard it as so much
chaff which passes us by like idle
winds which we respect not.
Idle and wicked tongues assert
that the Northwest Enterprise
will never hold its Coronation Ball
at the Trianon Ballroom and their

judice."

Washington Mutual
Pays lOlst Semi
Annual Interest

Seattle's oldest and largest saw
ings institution, the Washington
Mutual Savings Bank, has Just
credited the accounts of its more
than 100000 depositors with $685.
600 in interest earned for them in
the six month period which ended
June 80, 1910. This is the 1O1st
regular semiannual interest pay
ment made by the big bank since
its founding in 1889. With the cur
rent payment, according to Ray
mond r. Frazier, chairman of the
board, total interest paid depos-
itors passed the thirty-three mil
lion dollars. Since its establish
ment, Washington Mutual Savings
Bank has loanedl,over $122, O0O, 900
on first mortgage security to real
estate owners of Seattle and vicin-
ity. 1t has more than twenty-five
million dollars currently invested
in mortgage loans, the majority
of which have been made to Sc
attic home-owners under the
monthly reduction loan plan orig
mated by the bank over half a
century ago. In view of Wash
ing Mutual's large mortgage hold
ings it is instructive to note that
its ownership of real estate ac-
quired through foreclosure repre-
sents only small fraction of one
per cent of its deposits.

hood and in his ripe old age he
was a God-fearing man, who loved
his neighbor like himself. Feeling
sensible of his approaching disso-
luton, he gave the sceptre of IS

to him a legacy, to build to the
God of Abraham, Isaac, and ia
cob, a holy temple; to prepare a
fit receptacle for the ark of the
covenant, and to make strong and
beautiful an altar where the faith
full might offer up their sacrifices
to the only true and living God.
Solomon Builds Temple
Solomon, in order to better obey
the dying command of his parent
summoned all the workmen of the
land, and sent to adjoining coun-
tries for skillful artists. In ans
wer to his call came the king of
Tyre, and a widows son who was
a workman of perfect practice and
cunning in every device of curious
work. With them came a host of
others so that when the counting
was had, there was found to be one
hundred fifty-three thousand, three
hundred and three who took part in
building the temple.
The sight chosen for the temple
was on the brow of the hill called
Mt. Moriah, where years before
Abraham had erected an altar in
thankfulness to God that his hand
was stayed from taking the life
of his son Isaac, and on the spot
where David had erected an altar
on the threshing floor of Araunah
the Jebusite. The timbers Of it's
construction was hewed and squar-
ed in the mountains and forests.
The stones were cut at the quaries.
The brazen columns were cast in
the clay ground. And so well d.
rected were the labors of this i'm
mense concourse, and so perfectly
fitted in every part were the ma
terials of the temple, that when
it was put together, there was not
heard the sound of mallet, nor of
chisel, nor of any tool of iron.
The temple was completed and
glittered on the brow of Mt. Mo-
riah like the jewel on a kingly
crown. The work of the craftsmen
was accomplished and with one last
look at the beauty of the structure
they departed to other countries
in search of employment.
Filled by the love of adventure,
they hoisted their sails and put to
sea. They journeyed westward
along the shores of the Mediterran-
can, to where the pillows of Her
cules guard its frowning portals,
and through the straits of Gil
braltar to the open sea beyond.
During many long and weary days
they journeyed, and into many
