ACTOR NEAR DEATH FILMING "ROSEMARY"
Frank Bacon Ha Narrow Eicapa in Burning Barn Seen Frank Bacon, the delightful veteran character actor, now appearing' in Metro pictures, had a Marrow escape from being burned to death when the Quality-Metro forces were working on the big five-part production, "Rosemary," near tho studio in Hollywood, Cal. One of the big scenes in -"Rosemary" is the burning of an old English stable, wkero Dorothy Cruickshank is rescued by Sir Jasper Thorndyke, t,vo roles played by Marguerite? Snow and William Clifford, respectively. A specially constructed building' was erected for the stable and its loft filled with hay. Thoro were several scenes photographed around the stable before it was fired. Mr. -Bacon did not appear in any of these scenes, and being tired from a hard session of work the night bo fore he sought a little siesta in the hay .loft. No one knew he was there, but they did shortly after the stable was fiet on fire. Mr. Bacon was aroused by the crackling of the flames, and it -was necessary to effect a thrilling rescue in reality, before he was brought to safety. Tn "Rosemary" Mr. Bacon has the role of Professor Jogram, a part he has longed to play. When John Brew put on '"he notable stage version of "Rosemary ' he selected Mr. Bacon for this part. But the veteran actor had a previous engagement, and much to his regret he -was unable to accept Mr. Drew's offer. RUNNING THE RHEA, Rtlatlve of Ostrich Chased With Do$ and Hors, Eor the person who desires a unique form of sport "running the rhea" in southern Patagonia is recommended. The rhea is a member of the ostrich' family, but somewhat imaller. It runs with the swiftness of a greyhound or a fast horse and has a knack of doubling on its track, which often serves it in eluding its pursneri;. The natives in hunting it use horses, dogs and the bola. The dogs course after the fleeing bird in full cry, while th hunters follow after at top speed, prepared to throw the bola if opportunity offers. The bola, consisting of two oi three heavy balls of lead or stone attached to & thong ix or eight feet long, serves to hamper the movements of the bird, for the balls twine about the part which the bola strikes regardless of whether it be the legs, neck or wings. This permits the dogs and hunters to overhaul and dispatch the bird. At the approach of danger the rhea will often crouch flat upon the ground with neck outstretched under the grass, remaining motionless until the dogs have "passed. This stratesrem is often successful when the wind is blowing against the scent, but when the contrary is the case the dogs soon discover the hid ing bird. In this case, doubtless bewildered by the sudden failure of its artless ruse, it makes no attempt a& escape. The chase of the rhea, which sometimes extends over a distance of five or six miles, is a thrilling one. It hfis for the rider all the excitement of a horse race, with the added satisfaction of knowing that the winning of the race will result in a welcome addition to the larder. The winsrs of the rhea have a üavoi not unlike that of turkey, and if one is not averse to the taste of horseflesh the meat of the thigh is very satisfactory. The rhea is one of the main food supplies on a Patagon ian hunting trip. New Yori Tribune. OVER 65 YEARS experience Designs Copyrights &c.

A Open Letter
Louisville Ky. Nov. 16th, 1915. Hon, B. P. Hobeon, Washington, P. G. Dear Sir: Juat why you address the Bernheim Distiliine: Company as "Dear Friend" and skn your letter "Sincerely vour friend. " after heaping indiscrimi nate abus upon all men in our business ana uet wny it is proper tnat you may send circular letters like the one which the Bernheim Distilling Company has just received from you, thru the mails iree, I don't know, but being Secretary ot the company, your letter has come to me and I feel impelled to write a few lines such as anvone in our house from the President of the corporation down, might write you truthfully. I have drunk alcoholic beverages in moderation all my life so have my parents and grandparents ar.d eo doubless have my ancestors for many genarationa back. Iu this connection I will say that my son knows it and will do likj,viee. There never has been "drunkenness, ciime, pauperism or insanity" in the famiiy and we are, aB 1 think I can prove if my own statment is not stillicient of average intelligence, tho none of as tuxti ever been in Congress or tried to qet i ato the Senate. And there are millions and millions of families last like ours who use alcoholic liquors temporal ly and, aa I believe, beneficially to themselves, in this and every other civilized ountry . Most of your statements and prem-if-et a t erroneous iu my judgement and if I am right, your deductions are equally it not more erroneous. Alcohoii-? beverages, if used moderately, don't do what you claim, and there are many other good things in tho world which if used wrongfully or immoderately, are as injurious if not more injurious than alcoholic beveragea when used immoderately and which nevoithelebs, are not and should not be prohibited nny more than the moderate use andproper sale of alcoholic beverages should bo prohibited. T regard vour coi tention, that "when prohibition confines itself to the j sale, and matters relating only to tne sale even tho nutional, it wo ild not invade any rights or liberties of the indi virtual or home or the town or the state" as ppecious and 1 hold that it deserves tobe s. 'gmatized beeaune Uie manafacturo and sale f ale Jiolic beverages in vurio'is forms has been going on legally m the United States every since the ioi illation of this republic and men who hs've spent entire lives in their production and in the bui'ding. equipment ind moderation of plant of various sizes to conduct their business in, have rights, or ot least should rights, as well as other citizens, and their property should not he coufiscat'd by the peopio or their representatives in Congress any more than the property of men in other linos of busi aess If you can make it out. that the prohibition of the manafacturo and sale of any article would not virtually conüce to the buildings and machinery used in its manufacture, and especially the ready stock on hand, you can do what the average citizen cannot do and what, in my judgment, is attempted only by fanatics or unscrupulous men men who are base enough to ignore the faci that the national government, as veil as the cities, counties,- and states have been, and ate, to a great extent, surpporfeed by the revenues collected from thee very producers and distribuers of liquor and that the national government and the states and municipalities have encouraged the manufacture and sale and colossal investments which it is now proposed rurhlessly to destroy. In your letter to which lam alluding to, you refer to your Scientific training and say something about the poisonous character of alcohol. May I be permitted to remind that in July, 1898, John P. Phillips, on of the men who, with you, sank the collier Merrimac, said : "When we were taken aboard the Reina Mercedes, dressed in wet underwear which we cut off at the knees, Hobson, as calm as ever, walked rp to the Commander of the Spanish vessel, salute 1 him and said: 'I demand wihsky for my men who have been long exposed in the water." This was reported by copyrighted cab legram to James U rden Bennett of the New York Herald, from a special corres pondent with Admiral Sampson's fleet i t Santiago. Were yrou more -cit-nt'fic ana le-s s'noeve, or less sientirx and more sincere then, than now? Was whit key tuen the poison whu-h you declare it to be, and if so, why did you d mand it for your cimieci ana exnustea menr u n was not, why do you now call it poisoncab? It surely is no more so now then it was then ! It is to be regretted that letters and arguments emanating from non-Cou-restional sources, which combat your contentions, cannot be circulated among the people, because those who contribute them to the controversy haven't the franking privilege at their command. However, I, for one, feel that this question will be settled ultimately in accordance with the justice and equity which lira uuiiriu:ieri0tiv; ui tue ftjUHnuHii mcu" pie. I have the honor to remain.

More About By James C, Kelly
Speaking of Kansas, the shining star of the prohibition firmairienf, it is interesting to glean from the official government reports information showing the results of the long "drought" in the Sunflower State. First, prohibition promises to reduce pauperism and, by this time, should have accomplished some definite resuls along that line in Kansas. Kansas has a peculiar system of far ning out its unfo. lunate wards to anyone who will agree to fe;d them in return for their manual labor. The state also has i few almshouses. In 1880, when the commonwealth went "dry," it had 355 paupers ? jlmshouses or 35.6 to each 100,000 population. On January 1, .110 it had 735 paupers in almshouses or 43.5 to each 100,000 inhabitants. Thirty years of prohibition saw this marked increase. Figures taken from U. S Census bulletin "Paupers in Almshouses," page 16.) A bulletin on "Insane and 1 eeble-minded" (pa;e 21) show the number of Kansas insane was 1,000 on June 1, 1380 or 100.4 delinquents to each 100,000 population. By January 1, 1910 the nur-iber had increased to 2,912 or 172.2 to each hundred thousand. During thirty years of prohibition in Kansas, insanity had almost doubled. Science has concluded that the relation between alcoholic drinks and insanity is far more remote than the prohibition spell ders have led some to believe. In the absence of higher authority, most men are willing to accept this conclusion. The facts about Kansas are not cited here either to prove or disprove the relation between alcohol and mental disorders, but to show the absurdity of the prohibition claims. A propaganda which, like prohibition, must indulge in such misrepresentations as have been made in connection with Kansas, can exist only so long as it can hide the real facts from the people. Adv.
