Mabel Normand Enjoy a Holiday
DUCK HUNTING POPULAR SPORT - , OF FAMOUS SCREEN STARS
Mabc! Normand Holds Highest Record for Feminine Marksmen Who Have Secured "Limits" During Current Season in Southern California
!Of all the out-of-doors sports Indulged In by the hundreds ol beautiful and famous women who make up the motion-picture colony of Southern California, none enjoys such popularity as duck hunting1. There is carta In fascination about the sport that seems to have a strong appeal for, the motion-picture actress fortunate enough to secure att occasional holiday.. . i The coast of California at distances of from fifteen to fifty miles . from Los Angeles Is thick with ducks and duck clubs. From October, when the season opens, till February, when It closes. It nounds like a battle. At ' rnost of these clubs sbootlncr is allowed but two days a week. I Purtnx the period between seasons the ducks ur fed on young grain isnrouts. Most of the country southtail of Los Angeles stlont the coast
is marshy peat land. Upon thla, celery thrives; Indeed, much of the early celery used In the United States comes from this district And, as you know, celery is good for ducks. Probably the best wing shot among the motion -picture actresses is Mabel Normand, the former Keystone aar, who Is now at the head of her own company, making a big feature comedy, "Mickey." She uses a gun especially constructed lor her. Miss Normand, by the way, was a hunting devotee before she became a screen star. The sport Is not a recently acquired publicity fad with her. Above is a photograph of Miss Normand In the middle of a day's sport. She always manages to bg enough ducks to relieve the starvation situation in Poland and Eelglura. This picture, then, obviously was tali3 $cforo lunch. '. - - .. ' ..: -- ... !v -- ' ' " , .

GERMAN NEWSPAPER SAYS THAT WILSON IS MAN TO BLAME
(By Associated Press) BERLIN, Thursday, March 22. (via London, March 23.) The Lokal Anzeiger accuses President Wilson of criminal carelessness in his conduct of American-German relations. The paper says:
"Dispatches from America and other
neutral countries repeatedly play with the idea of the possibility of Germany
according to American ships different
treatment from that given other neutral ships on the ground that Germany must have an interest in avoiding a conflict with America. It seems a fact that America also is keeping alive
the hope that at the last moment we
may find a way to compromise with
the American standpoint. After the
chancellor, as well as the other officials involved, have repeatedly emphasized that there can be no going back for us, it is only necessary now to lay stress upon the following: The policy of President Wilson since the breaking off of diplomatic relations has been characterized by careless and criminal errors. He has played with the destinies of great peoples and he desires to make his further course depend upon whether Germany commits an overt act, that is an openly hostile action against an armed American merchantman. At the same time he lets it be known that he has commanded these armed merchantmen to open fire on all submarines immediately. Germany "Stands Pat." 'In the face of the reasons we have given the whole world, as the basis for a unrestricted submarine warfare, it is unparalleled rashness if the president risks the lives of Amelcan citizens in the earless belief that we will not dare to Injure them. Even apart from the fact that our naval authorities declare that it is practically impossible to distinguish American from non-American merchantmen, the German government must emphatically decline to consider any discrimination. If President Wilson really wants war he should start it and he will have it. On our side it only remains to assure him that we have put an end to negotiations about submarine warfare once for all. The monstrous guilt for a German-American war, should it come, would fall alone upon Pesident Wilson and his government."
