The need 1b Immediate and of great lm- ! portance; the camera lens is the ieye of the Army. German lenses can no longer be bought In the open market. England had to meet this same difficulty in the earlier stages of tie war by pur chasing the lenses or O f required type from individual owners. Eng land isiow making lenfcs bettor than the German ones formerly Im ported, hut no faster tl':in needed for her own uses. The Bureau of i Standards of the Unili J States De partment of Commerce is now per fecting a substitute for the German "crown barium" glass ured for lenses 'and American manufacturers will '. later be able to meet the needs with special lenses of new and improved types now being designed for this j work. The present situation, however, is 'that with airplanes soon to bo ready for service, suitable lenses cannot be bought. Possessors of the required types are urged to do their bit by enlisting their lenses iu the service of the Army. They are asked to immediately notify the Photographic DiviBion of the Signal Corps, U. S. A., Mills Building Annex, Washing ton, D. C, of lenses of the following descriptions which they are willing to sell, stating the price asked: Tessar Anastlgmat Lenses made by Carl Zeiss, Jena, of a working aperture of V. 3.5 or F. 4.5, from 8 1-4 to 20 inch focal length.

ARCADE VAIUIKVILI.H AT AIK'ADU THKATKK TOMOHHOW. S-T-A-R Tomorrow will se the appearance of the Hippodrome Vaudeville Road Show No. 6 at the Arcade theutre for one day only. This week's bill is made up of some mighty clever acts and the overture by the Arcade orchestra and the itiystdno comedy with Charles Murray and Louise Fuze tid a will make a well rounded bill. Little Allrlght who is with this vaudevillo show certainly lives up to his name as ho does some very clever Juggling nnd acrobatic acts that no other race of people have perfected outside of tho Japanese, as all of their tricks are done in a finished and graceful manner nnd his act has always been ft big hit whor ever he nppoared. The Shorts are a talented lady and gentleman who will appear in an artistic singing nnd dancing of fering. They have both very good singing voices nnd sing sensible songs with a clear articulation. Their dnnclng numbers nre a feature of their act and as lerpslchorean nrt Ists they lmvo no equal. Morrison and Clifton Is a leum mnde up of a talented young man and a very pleasing and preposses sing young lady who present n com edy singing nnd talking act which they call Echoes from the Ould Sod. This not conies very highly recom mended. The male member of this Duo Is a natural Irish comedian and nil of bis material Is put together for laughing purposes only nnd his quaint nnd original way of putting his patter over Iihh always set the audience in a roar of laughter. The Les Legerts are a man and woman who perfnt in a series of nov elty gymnastic feats that are quickly, daringly and gracefully executed. They do many anil difficult feats in balancing doth luind-to-haml and head-lii-head. This act Is n nov elty and has always proved to he a sure winner. COMKDY AND THRILLS AT STAR THEATRE TODAY.

T ' "A Military Necessity" General Dodge. 1864 FROM its beginning, the Union Pacific has been "The National Railroad," a patriotic institution. Lincoln and other great men urged its construction for national protection and development. j , 1917 LJ mi The prophetic vision of those who founded this great railroad during a period of national stress is now apparent in these times of international conflict. Again the Union needs its Union Pacific. The Union Pacific is doing its utmost to expedite the enormous war shipments from the Treasure States it serves. Grain, cattle, min erals, lumber, wool and oil are needed as never before. For new equipment alone the Union Pacific is spending over $16,000,000 to give American peo ple and industries still better ser vice. This is aside from even greater sums necessary for double-tracking, additional yard and engine facilities and other improvements designed to add to the traffic carry ing capacity of the property. Just now some of our ordered equipment is unobtainable for im mediate delivery because our Allies must be served first so we will win. The Union Pacific and The Union Pacific States must use available equipment to its greatest efficiency. The 41,000 employes of the Union Pacific and fh'e 11,000,000 people of the western wealth-producing states now have an interna tional obligation to fulfill. Were Lincoln to speak today in behalf of the Union Pacific, as he urged its building, he would insist on those high service standards for which we arc striving.
