BY WAR VETERANS Wh Stay Sto, A sterdajr Was Emancipator's f Birthday and Members of His Old Army Did Him Honor. Stirring and troublesome dayi of fcho civil war. during which time 'Abraham Lincoln courageously steered events that finally brought about the union of the north and the south. In juring the very life of the nation, JWere brought vividly to the minds of -600 silver-haired memoers or J-iin-' join's army." who gathered yesterday afternoon at central library to attend the memorial exercises of the Lincoln Memorial society. ., The majority of those who attended Jhe meeting were veterans of the civil war, some of whom had met President Lincoln, and all were intimately ac quainted with the remarkable achieve; jnents of the martyred president. L Charles F. Beebe, president of the incoln Memorial association, who presided at the meeting yesterday. eulogized Abraham Lincoln, referring to him as the greatest statesman America has ever had. Lincoln's Record Reviewed C. G. Burton, past state commander 6f the Grand Army of the Republic, was the principal speaker of the day. Mr. Burton eloquently visualized the life of Lincoln from the time of his birth until he occupied the White House. "The first lesson that we learn from the life, achievements and history of Abraham Lincoln." said Mr. Burton, "is that ours is the land of opportu nity. Born In a log cabin in compar ative poverty, yet the last four years of his life were spent in the White House at Washington. His boyhood was spent In toil and poverty. His schooling was less than nine months' duration, but yet he acquired, through careful study and perseverance, an education which enabled him to meet every obligation which confronted him during his lifetime. He Was Not an EKOti't "Although a man who was always self-reliant, yet Abraham Lincoln was . not an egotist. This was proven shortly after the outbreak of the civil war .when he chose as his secretary of Avar. Edwin M. Stanton, who was a member of President Lincoln's oppo sition political faith. The chief char acteristic of Abraham Lincoln as an American citizen was his respect and reverence of the law. It Is a charac teristic which we can all well bear in mind during the r.resent era." Mr. Burton said that one of the rTchief inspirations which could be drawn from the life of Lincoln and applied to problems of the present day, was his courage In meeting com plex problems. This inspiration, said Mr. Burton, should be applied in han tiling the problem of extravagance on the part of the federal government. Personality la Measured. Hugh Montgomery gave an insight Into the personality of Abraham Lin coln, and Major W. S. Gilbert read Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Mrs. Fred L. Olson sang several -patriotic selections and read three verses of the song, "Our Country Grand. especially written for the occasion by Mrs. June MacMillan Ord way. The Invocation was . delivered by Rev. Daniel Drew, who was for merly a slave, and who personally knew Abraham Lincoln. A piano solo was played by Miss Arilne Smith. Charles J. Schnabel, secretary of the Lincoln Memorial society, was in charge of the arrangements. Observance of Lincoln's birthday In Ihe schools took the form of the usual 1 programme of recitations, dramatiza tions and patriotic songs. The Lin- ','coln Memorial association provided .speakers for all the buildings in the city. Including private schools, which the past have been omitted from "the schedule. -if.

Nearly 2000 years later, in the Mojave desert. three men of different stamp, fleeing from justice, were led to the birth place of a babe whose father was dead and whose mother was dying. She gave the child into their keeping, believing they were "honest. God fearing men." Out of such material Peter B. Kyne, foremost American story teller, wove the tale of "The Three Godfathers," which appeared In the Saturday Eve ning Post. It is the story which Uni versal has utilized as a starring ve hicle for Harry Carey, and which ie to be seen at the Star theater this week under the title "Marked Men." Mr. Carey is shown first as a jail breaker. The love of a girl beckons him on the straight path, but loyalty to his pals leads him to another crime. Then, as fugitives from the' law, he and his pals meet a great ad venture on the desert, and each one pays in his own way the great debt to society and to nature. The Sunset theater has a "laugh bill" on for four days, starting tomor row. Charlie Ray - leads the pro gramme with "Bill Henry," one of his best, and Mack Sennett comes second with his super-comedy, "Back to the Kitchen." Then Bud Fisher, famous cartoonist, offers the latest Mutt and Jeff animated cartoon, and the topics of the day are told in a humorous way. Ray appears In "Bill Henry" as Bill Henry Jenkins, and .the" opening scenes show him abandoning the farm for the life of a traveling salesman, traveling on a bicyqcle -and selling an , electric rheumatism cure. There is a pretty little romance which eriows up and then bursts, but later is repaired. ana everyining js line. Mack Sennett didn't fall down on his reputation any when he made "Back to the Kitchen." Teddy? Jhe dog; Louise Fazenda, Ben Turpin and other lights of the Sennet studio are present in all their glory. WHAT a cheery bustle of coming and going there always was in the de lightful Louisiana household where Aunt Jemima was cool:! Such confusion in carrying all the carpet-bags and hat-boxes in and out! ' Such a pleasant flurry of excitement in greeting unexpected arrivals such cordial last-minute efforts to urge the parting guest to stay a bit longer! And yet there was never any commotion about caring for them all though a whole family might "happen in" for a lengthy visit. There were plenty of extra rooms in the big. pillared mansion ; plenty of chickens and butter and eggs and rice and other good things to serve any number at any time! And always, at a moment's notice, Aunt Jemima could whisk up a batch of her famous pancakes the like of which you'd never taste in all the old South!' How Aunt Jemima's cakes didtaste! So rich-flavored, so fragrant! And how light they were, with the most delicate curly edges! No wonder the great piles of the tender hot cakes set before Col. Higbee and his guests would disappear in no time! The housewife of 1920 finds that her guests, too, will go away singing - the praises of her breakfasts if she gives them Aunt Jemima's Pancakes. For nowadays Aunt Jemima's own pancake recipe is prepared for distribution in packaged form. Specially ground flours, baking-powder even milk in powdered form come mixed in just the right proportions. Any grocer can supply you with Aunt Jemima Pan cake Flour and with it you cannot fail to make pancakes as rich and light as those that made Colonel Hig bee's plantation home the haunt of all the Southern epicures!
