What photoplay fnn would earn M cents
n word ns a "leader" writer?
It isn't easy writing those 10 or 12
word captloiiu that keep tho movlo au
dience on the amusement track by giv
ing them a hint of what Is coming. That's
why tho new Continental Photoplay Cor
poration Is offering a 10 gold pleco to the
man or woman who can wrlto a perfect
"leader" for a particular scene In their
forthcoming feature film, "A Continental
- Girl"
The Continental Corporation wants to
wdtk out fomethlng new for the good of
the films, It wants to see how far It Is
possible to help out the spectator who
comes In nt tho middle bf thfc story and
nisnei 10 get an Idea of how the plot
runs and who the people are. Every one
knows the disadvantages of thai situa
tion Hub anybody got a solution?
Tho problem that the Continental sets
is double-barreled, The "leader" must
tell as much ao possible of what hus
gone beforo In ns few words ns possible,
and It must give just the necessary hint
of what is to come to keep the audience's
txpta atlona on the right track. The
perjon who wants to win that 110 gold
Piece must combine completeness and
brevity In outlining tho following story
nnd the action to come:
Klosslo Burgett, Cplonlal girl. Is In lovo
with Allen, o. Continental officer. His
rival. Captain Staunton, of (he Hrltlsh
flimy, arrests Allen, and ties him In tho
woods, whero ho Is rescued by Dcerfoot,
an Indian brave, who worshlnn irinuain.
After sundry other adventures, which
bring out the perfidy of ataunton, tho
lovo of Allen and tho devotion of Deer
loot, comes tho battle of Saratoga, the
turning tolnt In the Revolution. In this
all the, cliaractora aro Involved, Including
Flossie, wh6 goes there disguised as a
man Before the battle. Staunton quar
rels with Generat Burgoyne and is Im
prisoned. He breaks loose at the height
of the battle and determines to dishearten
his country's troops by Iintillng down
tho British flag at headquarters. This
done, he attempts to seize Flossie, who
Is only saved by tho Intervention of the
Indian In a struggle, at tho clllt's edge,
the Indian Is stabbed, but succeeds in
oN??VnS Staunton as he plunges over the
Cliff Into Lake Ooorce.
H6re comes the "leador." It must givo
latecomers some hint of what has hap
pened and It must preparo them for Flos
ale'a determination to climb the flagpole
and wave tho American ensign to hearten
tho Revolutionists to victory. Her act
turns the tide of battle, ani the Ameri
can triumph seals the fate of the Revo
lution. '
All this in M words and no more,
The competition la open to all. Tho
leaders" should be sent to The Cen
tlnental Photo-Play Corporation, sill

CROSSED COUNTRY TO SEE BELL
Phlladelphian Travels 3000 Miles to
View Sacred Relic
Jacob J. Shalet, a Jeweler of 60th and
Market streets, one of the tourists who
went to San Francisco as a guest of the
Evening Ledoeh, today told of his ex
perience In viewing the Liberty Dell at
the ranama-roclflc Exposition.
Mr Hhnlot, a life-Ions resident of Phila
delphia, never found tlmo previously to
visit Independence Hall, three miles from
his shop, but he journeyed SOCO miles to
see the venerable relic. He frequently In
tended to take a trip to 6th and Chest
nut streets, but he was always occupied
with other duties when the bell could be
seen In public, and when on lare occa
sions lie had time to spare Independence
Hall was closed.
When ho heard of the plans of the
Uvenincj Ledoeh and Public Ledoeh to
convey a group of their readers to the
fair, he decided to become one of the
party.
"If I couldn't see the bell here I wanted
to be euro to.seo It thero," he said "And
I did Anally see It, Aa soon as I arrived
at the fclr grounds I made a bcellno
for the Pennsylvania Building. There
was the bell a o-ccnt car ride would have
enabled me to see many years ago."

CANADIAN DOG'S TALE
OF SHRINERS' JOURNEY
Vancouver Vare Gift of British
Columbia Mayor, an
Author
By VANCOUVER VARE
I nm a Ve3lcrner by blith, but when
my boss, the Mayor of Vancouver, B. C,
said to me, "How yould you like to go
away with tho Slirlners?" I said, ".Sure
I'd llko it." I always wanted to see tho
countiy anyvvny, and I'd Just ns lief live
In the Haft. I unit born u year and a
half ugo, p. subject of the King, but vvhnt's
tho "dds? The President's ns good as tho
King.
I was awfully young to trn.v,cl, and
small, too. 1 only weigh seven pounds.
But I knew I wns In good minds If I wns
to hp In tho enre of tho Shrlners from
Philadelphia. All my llfo I have found
the, Shrlners to bo nice men, for h's J
nonor tlio Major or Vancouver was ono,
and that was how I huppened to be given
away. Ono night when the Shrlners from
Lu. Lu Temple were on their way to the
exposition they wcro entertained at din
ner by the Mayor.
Ho showed the visitors his kennels.
They ndmlied me moro than any of tho
other dogs, for I'm a pretty little thing,
a toy fox terrier, and so Bmall. My sire
migrnted hero from Knglnnd nnd I could
brag a bit about my ancestry If I wanted
to, but I don't. What I'm proud of Is
how much I've tinvelcd. Do you know.
I've gone all of T00O mllos since I left
Vancouver, and I've had a Jolly tlmo
all the waj, too I wonder if any other
dog lias traveled that far.
Tho Indies In tho party liked me a lot
and vou bet I liked them Thoy made
an awful fuss over mo. They had n, lot
of fun nt my expense, but wo were
nil out for a good time, so what was the
difference? Once, after we left Van
couver, n played a trick on them I broke
from my leash and Jumped from the
train. It had Just left a station and tho
engineer couldn't Btop to take me on
ngaln. So the party went on to tho next
station nnd sent a telegram back for me.
I heard later tho yowre awfully won led,
but I Joined them soon and they were
happy again. I caused them a scare an
other time by swinging along the out
sldo of the car, dangling by my leash.
But 1 was soiry for the worry I caused
them and tried after that to behavo my
self better You see nt tho stutt I wasn't
very well used to travel.
From the very beginning they called
mo Vancouver Vare. That was becauso
I had come from Vancouver and because
Mrs. Geo. Vare and Mrs. Edwin II, Varo
vvero along und mode a special fuss over
me. I live now with Mrs. Kdwln H.
Vare, nt her home In Ambler, She's nice.
I like her. I didn't know it at first, but
the Vnres aro prominent people. Her
husband's a State Senator and his broth
er Is a member of Congress, although
I don't know Just what that Is, it must
be In a place called Washington, though.

I lived swell on the trip. I slept in tho
berth with Dr. E. 8. Mershon, of Phila
delphia. I had a porter who had nothing
to do but tako care of me alt tho time,
und even tho Shrlners enn't boast of
that, becauso thete was only ono porter
for each earful of them. My portor a
pitch-black mnn served mo my mcnls
regularly. Broiled steak was my favorlta
dish, James J. Good tourist baggago
master of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
was nice to mo, too, nnd when we got
to Yellowstone ho picked up n lot of
pieces of wood and mado mo n houso
to sleep In
I marched In the parade In Seattle and
went nrouml tho fnlr In Snn Francisco
In real stylo an electric rolling chair.
Firm there we went to Los Angeles, San
nicgti, Salt Lake City and Ycllowstono
Park. I oat on the Beat of tho coach
with tho driver when we went around
the park to seo nil those wonderful sights.
1 was In Denver nnd Chicago, and In
Chicago I saw the stockyards and went
through one of tho big meat plants thero.
Then we enmo home.
When we got to tho station hero thero
was what I saw onco In n newspaper
described as an "affecting scene." Tho
Indies kissed me, and I thought some of
them would cry, and I almost cried too.
Then they took a parting look at my
black and white body phd pretty tan
points ana went awny. Mrs. Vare had
been awfully nice to me on tho trip and
I decided to accept her Invitation to live
with her for a while.
I'm going to give a party soon.

LONDON, Aug. H.
Lord nobert Cecil, Under Secretary of
Torelgn Affairs, outlined tho policy of
Great Britain and her allies toward cot
ton for American nowBpnper correspond
ents yesterday.
"Tho British Government, acting In con
junction with tho Governments of her
allies in tho war, la giving tho cotton Bit-
.-.a, nuaMatntinn '
untlon us most earnem. -uiio.u,.."-...
said Lord Cecil. ,
"The Government Is fully aware of the
importance of cotton to America and fully
understands that upon n satisfactory ad
justment of the matter depends the wel
fare, to a considerable degree, of nearly
one-quarter of tho population of the
United States. However, the welfare of
the whole population of Great Britain Is
Involved an well ns that of all of her
allies.
SAYS ALLICS MUST ACT
"It may bo considered necessary to
mnko cotton contraband. There Is a de
mand In tho allied countries that this
should bo done nnd there Is assuredly
nmplo Justification for tho action If It Is
deemed necessary. Cotton Is a very Im
portant and essential Ingredient, In fact
a propulsive explosive.
"Copper Is contraband by all the laws
of notions, yet In tho present war cot
ton Is shown to bo more Important than
copper, Thero may bo a substitute for
copper In making munitions of war, but
for cotton thero Is no Known substitute.
"If American cotton goes through to
Germany, the Germans use it to kill tho
soldiers of the Allies; therefore, cotton
must not go to Germany. The act of
making cotton contraband would be n
distinctly legal action and can Interna
tionally bo Justified beyond the possibil
ity of protest.
"So far as American cotton Is con
cerned, the problem of marketing It on
this side would undergo little change.

Am.rimn rnltori destined for German v
19 now stopped by our blockade If the
product H made contraband It would be
stopped In the snme manner The prin
cipal difference would be that If cotton
were contraband, shipments from Amer
ica suspected to be for Germany would
be seized nnd would be liable to con
fiscation; whereas, cotton Is now seized,
but not necessarily confiscated.
TO PCRMIT NEUTHAt, TItADING.
"In any case whether cotton shall be
come contraband or not the Allies must
permit neutral trading In this product.
Tho American growers must be given
their market In neutral countries even
If I he) are adjacent to Germany and
the Industrie of these countries must
havo the cotton required for their own
needs
"How to permit this supply to go for
ward and jot safeguard the Interests
of the Allien by making sure that none
of It go to tho enemy, constitutes a com
plicated problem of great dimensions.
We nro Interested only In keeping cot
ton out of Germany. We not only do
not object to It going to neutral coun
tries, but wo are, In fact, anxious that
It should go In order that thero may
be n minimum of Inconvenience to the
neutral Power concerned.
"I hope America will not be Impatient,
but will rest assured that the Govern
ments of tho Allies will give every con
sideration to tho legitimate Interests of
all neutrals."
