AMERICAN WOMEN MAY STARVE BUT NOT OUT Of STYLE It is suggested that to conserve clothing and give the factories a chance to make such things as are needed for war purposes, that women wear their dresses as long as they are decent. While this would not be very long under the present style whifh is somewhat of the kill variety, it ia still a good and sen sible suggestion. However it will not be folloved, for a woman out of style is a woman out of the world. The American women can be depended upon to make any sacrifice necessary to the winning of the war except standing for any interference with their dress. Hunger and deprivation will be borne cheer fully but if the American women must eat little and not very often, she can be depended on to have that little served with some kind of color scheme and flowers on the table along with napkins. She draws the line at being out of style. She may wear cheap stuffs in her gown, but they will have to be rut rirht and draped as Dame Fashion directs. Salem Capital Journal.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION A kind of artistic achievement easy for the film, but impossible for the "indoor drama" is illus trated by the Ford's theatre scene in "The Birth of a Na tion" The old fashioned drama has long attempted to represent a stage within a stage, and some of such representations have been rather realistic. But in the film scene showing the assassination of PresidentLin- coin, one sees not only the com plete stage of Ford's theatre in April 1865 but also the auditorium of the theatre, the audience and the historical figures in the boxes. Laura Keene is playing "Our American Cousin", assisted by E. A. Sothern in the role of Lord Dundreary. They are startled out of their mimic parts by the shot that Wilkes Booth fire J. The auaience has risen to its feet as the shot is heard and cranes forward in a semi-panic to gaze at the great statesman whose head has fallen back in the stage box and at the assassin Booth who is leaping from the box to the stage and whose spur catches in the box drapery as he jumps, causing him to break his leg. This sort of historical real ism has never been achieved be fore. It is part of what ia meant by the so-called "new art" for which D. W. Griffith is respon sible. Spectators gaze at the scene with fascinated horror. It is too terrible, too awesome for ap plause, yet not a spectator but feels that in this impressive ren dition Mr. Griffith has surpassed the greatest previous art achieve ments of the film drama. This is but one of the 50OO scenes of this world s iamous spectacle, which will be shown matinee at 2:30 and evening at 8, at the Isis on Sunday, July 22. A splendid three hour, special ly adapted musical score, played by the organization's own direc tor accompanies the production. The matinee prices are 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for chil dren. Evening: 75 cents for adults and 50 cents for children. OVER THE COUNTY Ballston R. L. Walker lost several head of hogs last week. They were ready for the market aid evidently got overheated.

He Cannot Read His Tombstone When He's Dead If with pleasure you are viewing Hny work a man ia doing; If you like him or you love him, tell him now; Don't withhold your approbation till the parson makes oration, And he liea with snowy lilies o'er his brow; lor no matter how you shout it, he won't really care about it; lie won't know how many teardrops you have shed; If you think some praise is due him, now'B the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone when he'i dead. More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny And the hearty, warm approval of a friend; For it gives to life a savor, and it makes you atronger, braver, And it givce you heart and spirit to the end; If he earns your praise -bestow it; if you like him, let him know it; Let the words of true encourageaicnt be said; Do not wait till life is over and he's underneath the clover. For he cannot read his tombstone when he'a dead. The Yeoman Shield. Many Bloisoms on Twig. ToiH-ka, Kim.- If all Ibe lwl on an apple tree on llie farm of (i e II.
