Most of the scenes Poster cast from a face, thousands ol shown throughout this series have 1 examples of which here illustrate the Hi .Soro, and it was only through the in fluence of Frederic J. Haskin, upon whose book, "The American Govern ment," the film was based, that per mission to take the scenes was ob tained. Mr. Haskin is one of ' the boat known newspaper men in Washington life, and his intimate connection with the goverment public officials has en abled him to get the real inside of every situation in tha American cap ital. His four-volume bu-k i regard ed not only by the gener xl public, but by government olBci.ils themse.ves, as a standard work and the finest of its kind ever compiled. Mr Haskin sug gested every angle of the jihotoplny 'Series known as "Uncle Samai ctfork," and the Universal thought so much of it as an addition to their pro gram, that it was purchased outright, and taken out of feature, in which it had great promise of popularity through its one engagement in Chi cago. , "Where Uncle Sam Makes His Laws and Keeps His Relics," shows two im portant government, buildings, the State Department Building and the Congression Library. The film starts with a very fine, close-up pic ture of Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, after which he is seen surrounded by his cabinet. Oth er State, Government, and Foreign officials are shown, including William Jennings 'Bryan, former Secretary of State, and Secretary of State Lansing, , who succeeded him; Sir Thomas Ce cil Spring-Rice, and one of his secre taries, Sir George Persh; Count von BernstoriT, the German Ambassador, and a number of other men prominent in State Department matters. In connection with the Library ol Congress, a portrait of Bernard R. Green, who designed and built it, and vho died a short time after this por trait was taken, is reproduced, to gether with that of Mr. Herbert Put nam, librarian of Congress. There are a number of exhibits of rare books, of which the library contains as great a number as any library in the world, including among its three million volumes, kept on 155 miles of book shelves, a first folio edition of Shakespeare printed in 1023, and which is now valued at thirteen thou sand dollars. The machinery of the library, the manner in which the books are transferred from their shelves to the desk, is an interesting one, and is faithfully shown in the film. One of the interesting features of the library is the section devoted to the blind. Interest in Utis department has been greatly increased bv Senator Gore, rhe blind orator from Oklahoma, who dictates his official correspond ence to a blind typist in plain view of the camera, and who has assisted materially in building up the Free I.ihrnrv fnr ihn Rlind." One of the most popular books in this library is. Frederic J. Haskin, which has been reproduced in raised tvne. r The latter part of the first reel is. 1 taken un with an instructive journey to the Smithsonian Institute, where a j great many of Uncle Sam's most high ly nrized relics are housed. For in- I stance, there is a camp-kit used by Geortre Washington in the Revolution ary War, his uniform, and other inter 1 esting reminders of our first Presi dent. The chair in which Thomas Jef ferson is said to have written the Vir- characteristics of the different races which inhabit the earth, is shown. One exhibit which wll arouse the deepe3t patrotism in the breast of every be holder, is the view of the iriginal Star Spangled Banner, wheh is shown foi the first time in history on the moving picture screen. This is the actual flag whih inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, and Francis Scott Kex-Smith and his son, nearest relatives of the author,' are shown in one of the views in this installment. Miss Munson Coming. Mrs. Harry Payne 'Whitney, wife of New York's young multi-millionaire, Daniel Chester French and Pic cirilli, the famous Italian sculptor, are among the more prominent artists for whom Audrey Munson, the beau tiful young artist's model featured in "Inspiration," a five-part Mutual Master-picture, has posed onvarious occasions. Among the noted pieces of sculpture for which she sat, are: "Evangeline," placed in the home of the immortal Longfellow, at Cam bridge, Mass., "Ascending Night," by Adolph Wleiman, "The Fountain of El dorado," at the Panama-Pacific expo sition; "Genius of Creation," by French, and the Maine Monument.

IKS W "-if 'A TO llCUkUl LATEST FASHION 60. HINTS SKY Ribbon as Trimming for Hat and Gown Quite the Thing. New York Jan. 29. It is interest ing to follow the trend of fashion each season, to note how surely and completely we come to approve of even the most decided change 1 after it has been presented to us in at tractive guise, at different times and on various occasions. . It surely does seem, too, upon looking back some few years, that each season's change are for the better. For instance, the full skirt; how we all poo-pooed it when the whisper first began to cir culate that it was to be revived, and that our trim, youthful narrow skirt had had its day. Today, however, tha full skirt is one of the approved features of the models, and is still growing fuller. 'We smile upon it approvingly now, and what, at its fjrst appearance we looked upon as bulk and clumsiness, is now consider ed quaint and daintily feminine. Ribbon is being used profusely as irinuning on both hats and frocks. It ranges in width from the ;nch-w.ide Taille ' or more banding, girdling the waist of -tha revere little frock of taf feta or serge, or forming thj perky i.o-'kade on the chic chapeau. to the wdo satin, moire, or taffeta vibbnn which forms the entire skirl, or bod ice of the dance frock or diner dress. In many of the new dinner and 'even dresses iribbon bows of all descrip tions are used for trimming; there aro perky nttle bows, wide, graceful b.iws, sime bows with flyiv ends tacked on io bodice and skirt at var ious angles. Mme. Jenny is particu larly given to iribbon trimmingj; some of her dainty dresses have their sheer full skirts banded around the bottom with wide metal-edged ribbons, giving them a most effective appearance. Jumpers Still in Voeuo For late -sprig and early fall, there is nothing quite as satisfactory as the jumper dress or taffeta, serge, or a sott lightweight wool.- Worn ! guimpes, or over the regulation skirt- blouse or crepe de Chine, crepe Georg I ette, or taffeta it makes an attractive I costume for street and general day time wear, perfectly suituule with out coat or wrap. Such a dress has all the appeal of a one-piece frock, with the added attraction of being easily freshened and changed by the addition of a contrasting guimpe or underblouse. One of the mjst attractive of these jumper dresses is illustrated here, de veloped in tuffeta, with accompanying underbodice of white crepe Georg ette. The high collar, smart sleeve, and flaring skirt present a pleasing picture. The second frock is also in jumper effect; one of the dainty rib bon girdles, with long flying ends and small cravat bow is a feature. The skirt is unusual and now, and the jumper particularly simple and smart of cut. This idea is nicely suited to either taffeta, or a fine serge. The open throat, which will " probably continue in favor during the summer, is an attractive detail of the under blouse of crepe de Chine.. A Word on Collars and Capes "Collets,',' as they call those trim cape-like collars introduced this sea son, are features of many of the new est frocks and blouses.' One of the newest blouses shows a series of these little "collets" graduated from a nar row frill about the neck to a deej) cape extending quite to the waist. These cape- like collar3riesemblingthe capes on a coachman's coat, are among the latest and most approved of the new dress details; tbey are especially effective' pn frocks of taf feta and satin. . Variety In Sleeves The drop-shoulder and full sleeve is a feature of many of the new frocks; in fact, the sleeve is the point it would seem, where designers and dressmakers are expending most of their ingenuity. .Many original, at tractive notions are being carried out in the cuff, in the trimming, and in the shoulder line. Fulness is a decid ed feature, and many effective met hods of trimming are toeing resorted to for instance, stiff little truffles and frills, and old-time quillings apnear lending an air of 3840. which is quite in keeping with the full skirts and other features of this period daily being introduced. The Youthful Silhouette There were many of us who be moaned the passing of the slender skirt because of its youthful air, but Fashion has taken care of this, too, in her new rulings. The flare of the skirt and coat, the suggestion of a slender waist, .the shortness of the skirts, topped effectively by a perky high hat, very close fitting,' and com pleted with trim, well fitting foot wenr is quite as youthful and trim, and far more comfortable than the pipe-stem skirt in which a natural stride was utterly impossible.
