It would be a matter of the keenest personal regret to those of us who are still in the service to feel that as West Pointers or non-West Pointers we represent an objectionable caste to the citizen soldiers of all ranks with whom we served during the trying days of the war and have reaped only their detestation. Many of us cherish feelings of the highest friendship, esteem, and appreciation of service for thése men-and hed hoped that this feeling was mutual. Y ! Congress has transformed ‘the first military policy this country has ever had into law. This policy recognizes one army of tie United States made up of component units, and the greatest of these is the organized reserve, composed of the citizen soldier. We in the service are bending every effort to obliterate the old vicious jealousies that existed between the regular army, and its citizen companions and to strive to form one army, the army of the United States. 1S UNDER SPELL “Little People” Have Sway Over Stream in Ireland.

It rises near the little village of Dervygonnelly, its source being & small lake called Bunahone. Its course lies befween the picturesque moun- tains of Bo and a beautiful level coun- try on its other bank called the Golden-| plain.

The same three peopic produced “Mickey,” which has shown in more theatres and to more peopl than any motion picture productior up to the present time. Mr. Sennett began planning the present produc- tion as soon as “Mickey” proved se!f ‘the enormous success which it became, but it was not until iax year that he was able to secure th: services of Miss Normand and Mir Jones to begin “Molly 0.” .. The story of “Molly 0” is primar ily strong comedy, but it has a tens. dramatic background and many o1 the incidents in the development of the plot are sufficiently thrilling :o that it might safely. be classed as a melo-drama. The production is the most expen sive one which Mr. Sennett has cver made, but despite its great cost there was nothing wasted in it. The locale of the story runs from the slums of a great city to the grand ball room in the most fashionable hotel in the same city, and. the actual require- ments to cover the story resulted in the building of many lavish and ex- clusive sets. “DESERT BLOSSOMS™ AT THE REX THEATRE THURSDAY In “Desert Blossoms,” a William Fox photoplay rua at the Rex theatre Thursday, William Russell is starred in the role of a young. connected with a mighty govern- ment irrigation enterprise. Many of the scenes were filmed on the Mo- Jjave Desert, in California, 40 miles from Death Valley. The story is by Kate Corbaley. Arthur Rosson directed the produc- tion. The popular Fox star is sup- ported by Helen Fergusoa in the feminine lead, W. J. Rigby, Willis Robards, Margaret Mann, Dulcie Cooper, Charles Spere and Gerald Pring. . The young engincer is shown first in charge of construction on a bridge contract. The bribing of an assist- ant by a swindling cement dealer re- sults in the supplying of inferior m terial for the last two spans, result, the spans fall, and the en neer is diseredited. Then begins the fight to rchabilitate himself, under an assumed name. The irrigation project offers him his chance. “Desert Blossoms” is declared to be one of the best ~vchicles Russell has'had. An engaging love theme is interwoven with exciting adventures. “IS LIFE WORTH LIING?” AT ELKS THEATER TONIGHT Eugene A’Brien, in a new Selznick picture, “Is wLife Worth Living?” closes its run at the Elks theater to- night.

Like Modern “Put and Take.” Almost identical in principle with the present-day game known popularly 38 “Put and Take,” is the game of “Trendel,” particularly popular with the Jewish people during the Chanuka lolidays. It is’a very ancient game and s sald to have been known to the Greeks and Romans. “Trendel” is from the German word “drehen,” ov turn, hence the name for the toplike instrument with which it is played, explains the Detroit Nes The trendet has fuscribed on its four sides the Hebrew letters “nun.” “giwmel” “heh” and “shin,” which are the in- itial letters of the words “Nes godol hoyo shom,” meaning “ a great miracle was performed then.” In playing the game the consecutive meauing? :iv these letters' are “nichts.” “ganz,” “halb” and “stell.” Thus when the top falls, with the “nun” upward the player turning the top gets nothing. | ([HIIHHI “gimel” takes the whole pot, “heb” takes half, a “shin” calls for “put- ting” or “adding” to the pot. eAre You T HE man who tor, or drives at the loom---the sher---they are a for you.
