JOYS OF SCREEN REFLECTED !N FACES OF ORPHANS WHO SA W "DADDY LONG-LEGS"

By HELEN JOHNSON HRILLS of the cinema were reflected in the happy faceg ot 62 children of the Wernle Orphans home when they were the guests of the management of the Washington Theatre, Tuesday afternoon to see Mary Pickford in "Daddy Long Legs." There are 83 children at the home but those who were not present Tuesday are spending their vacations some place else. Many of the children saw a "movie" for the first time. One girl who celebrated her sixteenth anniversary this summer saw her first one yesterday. All enjoyed the antics of the orphan children in the "John Grier Home" and all were captured by Mary Pickford and her co-star, the freckled face boy. The children were immensely amused when both became drunk on hard cider. Sixty pairs of eyes never left the screen. Some sat on the edge of their seats, others thrust themselves 'way back, their mouth3 and eyes wide open. Some smiled and some became almost convulsive with laughter. A few of the very little children sat on the laps of the older ones and wanted to be told all about it. Pathos Missed 'Em. Fortunately the pathos of the picture went over the beads ot the children, who enjoyed only the funny sldo of it. During the performance each child enjoyed the candy which had been given him by the Palladium. Everyone had a sack for himself. Ono little girl ate only a piece or two and held the sack carefully bo she could take it home with her. Manager Gruenwald ran the comedy for Wednesday especially for the child ren, and they enjoyed this thoroughly - ,,.' Most of the children were taken for

LEAGUE OF NATIONS BASED UPON WRONG, SAYS THOMAS IN ADDRESS TO FRIENDS

This is a horrible and I in it which will ultimately cause re- j think, an unjust indictment, and yet volution and chaos In the world." I j there are thousands and thousands ot

It is nothing short of a tragedy that the league Is not what it should be, but I ask you. as. Christians, should you simply because this league has been drawn up and presented to you, accept it as your own when you know it is wrong? The United States, as the world's treasury, has the power to do this." "Balance of Power" Directing his attentions to a few ot the outstanding things which be considered obviously wrong in the League ot Nations as it stands, the speaker said: It hopes to rebuild the world on the old balance of power system, with: Great Britain, who has in times past gained more territory than man has scarcely ever conceived, as one power ; Japan, whose system certainly needs to be reckoned with, as another; France with an army and military committee larger and mora active than ever before, as the third; the United States as the fourth; and Italy as a hanger on. "Where do the other nations really come in? These five powers have perpetuating members on the council of the league of nations, Germany and Russia can never have memhers on this council. To me it almost looks like an invitation for the organization ; of a counter league, for a league of 'left-outs. "If the war was primarily tor the sake ot men, why have men not been considered more than the material? Look at France and her claim ot Tsien-Tlen; look at Japan and her claim on Shantung, and se where men come in! Humanity generally needs protection where there is money, I assure you. No Disarmament. "The league of nations can not be amended without unanimous consent. l nai means inai u japan wants i am not saying she does to keep China out she can. and so with all the coun tries. "The league fails to provide for dis armament. "What do you- think would happen " "a ypu think the partnership would last long? Do you think a League ot Armed Nations can survive? - the power holding the mandatory, except in the case of Germany. Is that fair to the colonies? It means that the bankers of any other country can exploit in its colonies, mines or other sources of wealth, and the rivalry for exploitation has caused wars." The speaker pointed out concessions which have been made to the other countries in the way of railroads and other utilities to establish themselves more fully and open the field for more and more exploitation. Thomas continued to discuss further the capitalistic system in Amer ica, in his lecture Wednesday morning. Papers Don't Tell Truth. "Democracy is based upon the power of discussion," said he. "We In America are subsidized, beneath schools, movies, newspapers, periodicals; and capital pays the piper who does the subsidizing. I actually know that many of our newspapers refuse to print the truth.

F. Murphy, special farm agent, in the farm of Everett Hunt, Murphy completed an inspection of the Hunt farm Tuesday, for the first time since the farm was drained, two years ago. "At the time of my first visit," Murphy said Wednesday, "the farm looked like a large number of farms throughout the country where old methods have been used, and lacked the appearance of prosperity. Ac cording to Mr. Hunt, his fields averaged about 15 bushels of wheat to the acre, and the wheat was of rather poor quality. "Now the farmhouse has been remodeled and equipped with modern electric light and power system, and water system that furnishes running water both in the farmhouse and in the buildings used by the stock, and a complete sewage disposal plant, giving the farm all of the conveniences of a city dwelling. "The wheat yield of the farm has increased from 15 bushels to 27 bushels to the acre this year, and Hunt has planted a crop of alfalfa. In Itself a sign of prosperity. "This is one instance where the value of modern farming methods has been proved. Mr. Hunt has lived on the farm for more than 10 years, but it was not until he began using up to date methods that he obtained the best results from his farm." GARDENS AFFECTED BY HOT, DRY WEATHER Heat and dry weather are affecting Richmond gardens, according to F. W. Wesler, garden supervisor. The last good rain enjoyed was that of Sunday, July 20. which 6oaked the ground thoroughly but more rain is needed now. Tomatoes are beginning to scald and look limp, and the bean blight, which flourishes In dry weather, is becoming a menace. Cabbage worms are also becoming a nuisance. Bordeaux mixture is recommended for the bean blight, and the arsenate of lead spray, with one inch cube of soap added to every gallon of water, for the cabbage worms, by Wesler. Formula for both of these can be obtained from him, phone 2000.

Most of these will be used by Wayne county people who are planning to take fishing trips to the northern Indiana lakes, as licenses are not needed to fish In Wayne or adjoining counties. SCHNEIDER MADE CITY STREET HEAD Albert Schneider was appointed as city street commissioner to succeed John Sitloh, who has resigned, at a special meeting oT the board of public works, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Schneider is an employe ot the city and has been for a number of years. He 13 a contractor and Is familiar with the Job. He will take up his duties August 1. Baby Summer Death Rate Has Gone Away Down, Say Manufacturers Of Coffins Since the pure food law went Into effect ten years ago. the demand for caskets and coffins tor babies and children has been very small, say local casket manufacturers In the hot summer months the death rate of babies Is usually great Tuesday was the first tlrna an order tor baby caskets was received this summer, by the Richmond Casket factory. In nearly all cases the death rate of children is larger in the cities in the thickly populated slums. During 'be war baby welfare has been emphaslzed. and mothers clubs, and child welfare societies have been working to teach mothers how to care for their children so that the death rate has been noticeably increased. GREAT TURNTABLE STARTS OPERATION AT PENNSY YARDS Another step in the completion of the east yards of the Pennsylvania railroad was made Wednesday afternoon, when the huge new electric engine turntable was operated for the first time. The table was used late Wednesday afternoon in turning one of the big United States engines that are now being used on the Pennsylvania system. The new turntable, which, is one of the largest in this section of the country, is operated by two high powered electric motors, one at each end ot the engine platform, and will accommodate the largest engines used on the road. Considerable difficulty has been expereinced in turning the large United States engines on the old Twelfth street turntable, and after the new engines were received here, the completion ot the new turntable was rushed. The turntable was built by the Austin company, who are under contract to complete construction work in the new yards. Road Law Questioned; May Stop Construction In State Further indication that Wayne county's road program will have to wait a year or two for fulfillment. Is contained in the suits filed before a state court this week to test the validity of the new state road law. Much road work in the state will probably be postponed to wait the outcome of the suit, which Is being followed with much interest by bond men and road men. Most bond men do not purchase bonds that are In litigation, so the sale of many road bonds may be held up. George C. Forrey, member of the firm of Breed. Elliott, and Harrison, of Indianapolis, is bringing the suit as a taxpayer of Madison county. Army Pay To Stay Up To War Basis, Says Wright Rumors that pay in the army would go back to a peace basis were denied Wednesday by Sergeant Wright of the local recruiting station. Wright said he had heard from Indianapolis headquarters on the subject. "Pay In the army is now equal to about $1000 a month in civilian life, even for" a private," he said, with the way prices are goinng up for civilians. Board, lodgeing and clothes are suppiled free."

"Daughter of Mine," newest of her Goldwyn Pictures to be seen at the Washington Theatre, beginning today is replete with situations entirely new to the screen. The piquant comedienne scintillates throughout, her inimitable talents given greater scope than ever before because she is stimulated by the brilliant work in hand. Written by Hugo Ballln. Goldwyn's i distinguished art director, "Daughter ot Mine" provides Madge Kennedy with an absolutely unconventional role or rather two of them, for the star as well as the entire cast essay dual characters. A human and appealing story is told in the first episode, which is laid in the tenement district, to be carried on later in a sharply contrasting environmentthat of gorgeous romance. Yet "Daughter of Mine" Is not a costume or a dream play. It treats of everyda life and realities. Miss Kennedy is enabled to show her skill in portraying the Joys and heartaches of little Rosie Mendelssohn even while she is involved in thrilling, romantic adventures. She wears the simple garb of the working girl almost as she dons the velvets and laces of Lady Diantha. All In all, "Daughter of Mine" promises more entertainment than any previous vehicle of the popular star. , Ford, a wonderful musician, Is leader of the Symphony Orchestra In a hotel. By his charming airs and graces he wins Phyllis away from Billy. Billy becomes peeved at losing his girl and dopes up a newspaper and letter which make Ford think that Louise, whom he has looked upon with scorn, has a lot of money. Ford makes a play for Louise, which makes Phyllis Jealous. Phyllis puts on boys' clothes, wins Louise from Ford, keeps doing a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde stunt and manages to turn the tables In all directions. Ford and Louise are about to be married, regardless of her formidable family, when Ford learns that she has no money and makes a wild dash to get away. He encounters her three brothers and has a great deal ot trouble in his flight for freedom. In the meantime, Louise and her former faithful and sympathetic lover. Jack, are happily wed. During the action a football game takes place on the beach in which the bathing girls do some of their famous diving stunts. This comedy will be shown at the Washington theatre today and continue for one day. Manager Gruenwald looks for turnaway business. MURRAY Regular patrons of the photoplays a class that comprises practically every person in every community, will find an aggregation of familiar players at the Murray theatre today appearing in "Poor Boob," Bryant Washburn's latest Paramount picture. Everyone in the cast of this splendid photoplay, which is adapted from the original stage comedy of Margaret Mayo, is well known through his work in previous Paramount and Artcraft pictures. Leading in support of Mr. Washburn is Wanda Hawley, known everywhere through her excellent work in many previous releases, notably in the Artcraft picture produced by Cecil B. DeMille, "We Can't Have Everything." She has the role of the plucky stenographer, whose quick wit is mainly responsible for the success of the hero, a young man who is believed to be a failure, but who come3 out on top after all. Theodore Roberts, probably the best character actor on the screen, plays Piatt, the owner of the factory In which the hero works. The role ot Douglas, a worthless schemer, is han dled by Raymond Hatton, whose work in Artcraft pictures is well known. MURRETTE During the filming of "Men, Women and Money," a Paramount picture In which Ethel Clayton is starred, and which is on view at the Murrette theatre Wednesday and Thursday, the company went to Catallna Island to get some scenes for the picture. Just after they landed a storm came up and they were compelled to wait several days before they could get the scenes and return. But Miss Clayton says Catallna Island is one of the most delightful spots in the world, on which one can be marooned. PHOTOS 722 MAIN ST RlCHMONOi 110
