Wednesday, at popular prices.
Place yourself off the en'th lit n

H'l invisible hanil unrolling the record
of the supreme events in the nation's
history wherem trie vital point bear
ing npn American slavery rise nnd dis
appear to give place to oilier in a con
timiotiB panorama, ko swiftly nctoil ns
to trend upon one another' heels.
Thread thin mosaic of tragic heart
beats. Let these individuals symbol
ize youth, n'je, nmliition fanaticism,
ec!.it.unl pride, race prejudice, and
love, with the martyred Lincoln in the
crowning figure of tho whole. This is
flriffeth's Biiperb motion picture epii,
"The Itirth of a Natim." From your
vantage point you see tiie arrival of
the first American slave. The North
mad fouth develop rapidly. The
lirench of liu come nnd the young
men o the North hnsV to an. wer lie
all of the president for volunt'vri to
pn nerve the union, a'Jd the young men
of the Bouth form rapidly und.-r the
bnir.ier of the now confederacy. Far t
flung Inttli li..cs advance bravely over)
hill and plain. You near the roir of)
batt.c and nee the ground strewn with;
I the dead and dying tieroes. IVrloru ,
, hopes climb grittily to capture enfi-'
lading batteries. Fathers and sous nud
brothers join in the ilentli grapple. ;
I Darkness conies and the night, is streak
icd with the weird light of bursting!
! shells Vnti see the -orrowii'.g Imuics
' voij n here. Age ami Infancy io to.
Itnoir troubled rest. Prayers fjr t ho
jpiotectioa of loved uniM rise from 'un
lily alters. Courtiers bring news of
the dead and dying to fainting hearts.
' vniini' nu-n. enlleirr initial, ti'itll wound
ed to death, fall i.i -ncli mlnr-i nuns,
the uniforms tiiey wear auoie i!h di
viding line of brotherhood. T'ie; lusp
each other about the neck ami die.
Leo sin renders to (inuit. Lincoln,
j his giant figure bowed with the os!
of his beloved union, dgm the t'imoi:s
I nriM'lauiatinn and piivuies tn utlicine!
huck the starving children of the un-i
t ion. False sentiment and political!
i cunning thwart his daus. '
It is a beautiful night in April. In;
Fold's theatre the people of Washing-!
I ton have gathered to witness a come-1
lily. Lincoln is there with his wife. He
! smiles and nods from his box tJ thej
I people below. Vou see the assassin
steal behind him and level tiie pistol. !
I A shot rings out. and the whole world,
j is plunged into horror and gloom.
Things change rapidly. The radical J
:is in the saddle and ambitious attempts!
jnre being made to place tho newly en-)
finnchised negro on an equality, polit-(
icnl'.y and socially, with tho white
man. In the prostrate south the negro
tremendously outnumbers the white
men. Degradation and animalism
sweep over the country. Homes ruin
ed, by he Civil war, and on the eve of
being re-established, are sacked and
bur.ied. Hordes of Iran tic freed
men, drunk with tlu:r new release
from bondage, revel in lust and ra
pine. The sun of the southland is in
eclipse.
The scattered white men organize
the Ku Klux K Ian. Clad in white
sheets with .oroim.arked njo.iks,
mounted, they sweep .rom plantation
to plantutijn, resolved to bring about
tiie supremacy of breeding and cul
ture. Kncinl hatred rises to the boil
in? point. The better slaves even, for
getting the kindness of their old mas
ters, and their passions fed on recitals
of the cruelty of some former over
seer, join the majority in an effort to
tiample all white people into the niiir.
Vou see timings that ought never to
have been and wonder why they should
be among reasonable creatures.
All this you see in the most wonder
ful pnrornmn of history symbolized.
not I cold pages ot type, but written
with hn man beings for words and
mouths for sentences. If Thomas Cur
lvle's "French Hevoliition " is n his
torical poem, so is (Iriffeth's "Jtirth
of a Nation." The same effect is pro
duced in either case years of social
cataclysm thundered to your senses in
tremendously moving periods, all min
or events forgotten in the supreme vis
ijn of a master mind.

church in the Philippine inlands, and
Southern Asia, was found this afternoon

from his home since last night. He start
ed for a favorite fishing point sev
eral miles fioin his home and when he
failed to return after dark, a search
ing party was organized. .All night the

Giants to bo many victories throughout
his 17 years of service, leads bis new
team, the Cincinnati Reds onto the Polo
grounds.
It will be the biggest day in bnse
ball New York has seen since 1913.
Probably the biggest crowd of the sea
son will turn out to see the "old mas
ter" for the first time in a hostile uni
form. Then there will be Charley Herzog,
appearing as a Giant. Another strange
face on the Giant roster will be Jim
Smilee, who will probably be seen in ac
tum against the Reds this week.
Out in the outfield during practice,
at least, will be another stranger, Wnde
Kill if er.
In the ranks of the enemy will be
F.ddie Rousch, kept on the bench while
with the Giants, but now sitting a
whirlwind pace with the stick for the
Reds.
- A subscription in the hands of a local
paper for a tribute to Matty is growing
rapidly and today reached $435. It is
intended to let the fund grow until it
reaches an amount which the donors feel
will purchase a suitable tribute to their
former idol.

The Fallacy of Paraffine
Base:&Eastern oil manufac
turers have long extolled
the superior virtues of paraf fine
base motor oils. But Pacific Coast
motorists have proved that Zero
lene, made from selected Califor
nia crude, asphalt-base, gave best
results. Their experience is now
supported by the testimony of in
ternational experts. Lieut. Bryan
stated before the Am. Soc. of Naval
Engineers: "Oils made from the
asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves better
adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon
forming proclivities are concerned, than are paraf
fine -base Pennsylvania oils." Zerolene received
