1Y1 .ho members of tho Ocean City Host
ess Houso committee at her home, last
night. It was nwfully interesting sho
had some pictures of tho Hostess Houso
taken -while tho men wero there last sum
mer. You know tho Hostess House com
mittee hnd some funds left over, and so
they presented a service flag to Mr. Mc
Kenty's Mission. It is a beautiful flag
with fifteen blue stars, flvo gold ones and
three silver ones. Then they nro also
giving to a Hostess Houso In Capo May,
whero twelvo sailors at a. time aro enter
talncd at dinner.
I HEAR tho Dcas Slnkler's baby, who Is
two and a. half years old and a perfect
darling, it 111 with fcer, and so tho house
Is quarantined and tho children aro not
permitted to go to school. 1'ortunatcly, it
Is a light case, and I so hopo It will not
epread to the others Mrs. Slnklcr .'h ono
of tho sweetest women. Sho was Emily
Rhodes, you know, tho daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Mauran Rhodes and a
sister of Mrs. Ned Hartshorne, Mrs. Guy
Dodge and Mrs. l'ranklln Sharplcss. Tho
SInklers have flvo children, I think, and
they are certainly sturdy youngsters.
ALICE WHARTON-, who, by tho way,
had been quite sick, but who Insisted
on getting up to go down and talk to the
workers nt Independence Squaro auxiliary
of tho Red Cross, was certainly nttractlo
and had somo thrilling things to tell us
about her experiences in Italy. Sho wore
tho Italian Red Cross costumo and told all
Mmii nf thlntra she had done In Italy nnd
in Trance, too, for she was there the
winter before last.
Emanuel Chastand, a wounder French
man, addressed the -workers also. Ho has
invented somo of the most -wonderful appli
ances for tho men crippled In tho war, and
the Red Cross has asked him to go around
In America to tell of tho things than can bo
done by tho sick, wounded and blinded
men of this war.
AND we had a great meeting at tho aux
. lliary. There seems to bo more need
than cer in the way of clothes and com
forts for tho people "over there," and tho
national headquarters lias sont out letters
to tho branches and auxiliaries nil oer
tho country asking that the work so nobly
started sovcial years ago be kept up. To
bo sure, tho work is different now, as it is
reconstruction and no longer bandages and
surgical dressings. The workers aro
making the cunnlngest little dresses and
trousers ou ever saw.
And what do you think tho Red Cross Is
doing? It Is awarding service medals to
the men and women who have, worked nt
least 800 hours In tho Red Cross. For the
Momen there Is a red cross medal on a blue
ilbbon. and for the men thcro Is to bo a
k r, Mrs. Lorlmor told mo that they
inrf n have a formal presentation of
H medals to their workers at tho Indepen
dence Squaio auxiliary in tno nc-ui ""'-.
when they will ask some distinguished

the faithful workers. On tho ribbons there
are to be extra stripes for every 800 hours
work.

WOMEN "Y" WORKERS
GET SMOKE RATIONS
Draw Them Regularly for Bene
fit of Wounded Yanks
in Russia
Seeing a group of Y. W. C A secretaries
drawing a ration allowance of tobacco each
week would probably cause a nervous shud
der In America, and a cry of amazement. In
Russia It Is dono regularly.
No, it Isn't tho IJoIshcNlk disregard for
tho usual order of things that has gone to the
heads of Y. W. C. A. secretaries, nor is It
tho need of a now neno tonic necessary for
reconstruction tasks
They llnc-up ccry week, these Y. W, C. A.
secretaries, along with the men, and when
their turn comes they Insist on ecry ounce of
their tobacco. About tlo minutes later they
how up at tho hospitals for American sol.
dlers.
"Gee, I'm glad this Is my week for tho
extra smokes." nays a doughboy. And.as ho
props himself up on tho pillows the Y. W.
C. A. secretary passes him her week's ration
allow anco of tobacco.
"Next to Just heelng an American girl at
all, seeing her w'ith her hands full of to
bacco for us fellows Is tho best thing about
being In Russia," a prliato said.
Miss Clara Taylor, Y. W. C. A. secretary,
who Is doing work among the expeditionary
forces In north Russia, sis that this Is the
critical time In the routlno of tho Amerl
can soldier's llfo In Russia
"Out at tho hospltnl the other day, ono
man Just followed mo into every room with
out saying a word, They nro so glad to see
American women nnd they need all of tho
cheering wo can glo them The ofllcers as
well as the men aro terribly puzzled as to
why they aro here hnd what Is going to
como out of all this. They llko to feel that
wo American women are with them and that
wo nre making some of the sacrifices too.
"Standing In a tobacco lino for an hour or
two Is n real pleasure when ou see what a
treat your ration Is to the boys who aro
waiting for jou in the hokpltnls"
"The children of the Russian refugees aro
hungry for play," wrltts Miss Elizabeth
DIckerKon. Y, W C A. secretory, who has
been directing playground work In Mirlous
Russian cities. "Their play seems id he
without energy and Joyr not becnuso they
have lost tho play Instinct, but because of a
lack of play leaders to teach them how to
6t fun out of Uielr play,"

Single Tax and Home Owners
To the lhUtor of the Evening VubXio Ledger:
Sir According to ono of tho news Items In
jour columns, "representatives of profes
sional, financial. Industrial nnd mercantile
Interests will assist" In tho formal launch
ing of tho "own our home" movement, the
notice enmo too late for us to send a repre
sentative of political Interests to tho meet
ing called for tho night of tho 10th, but if
it Is ngrceable, we, the Single Tax oirty of
Pennslvanla, will send a. represcnljv o to
tho coming "own your home" exposition to
bo held in tho First Regiment Armory
April :i to 20.
Tho Single Tax party would like to bvo
n olce in tho coming exposition, as w have
been conducting un "own our home" cam
paign for porno jears, in fact. It la our
deslro to seo every ono who wishes to become
a home-owner provided with that blessed
opportunity.
I have no doubt that every representative
of tho different classes taking part in tho
movement will admit that homes must bo
built upon land Thev will nlso admit that
under our present method the price of land
on which tho homo must stand is Included
In what we call tho cost of the home.
Tho Single Tax party has n. plan for tho
reduction, down to tho point of extinction,
of the price of land and which would. If
put in operation, reduce the cost of homes
one-third or one-half.
This would mcin that tho "worklngman
home-owner" could own his homo 1, eight
or ten jcars booncr than under our prcsr.t
b j. stem.
Tho plan is unique, In that it will Jo alt
this without taking from nny ono any aluo
produced by his Individual exertion. Let us
hopo that a hearing will bo given to tho
political Interests. OLIVER MclCXIGHT

The Hun Squeals
To the l.ditor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Tho unspeakablo Hun is still trying
to spread his despicable propaganda through
out the United States Ho Is begging for a
softening of the teims of the armistice. Let
him beg!
Let no one bo decehid Into believing that
tho Huns of today aro ono bit more human
or humane than they wero before tho sur
render. Let no ono bo foolish enough to
soften In feeling or sentiment toward tho
brutes who eventually would have swarmed
Into tho United States, If only America had
obligingly slept a little lonirer, to loot, mur
der, torture, Marvo, mutilate and outrage
hero as elsewhere.
Tho Muns, from tho wretched Wilhelm Ho
heuzollern down to tho poorest malo or fe
male of the species, prate nolsely about what
Germany has endured; never a word, of
course, nbout what Belgium, France, Great
Britain, Poland, Serbia nnd other lands havo
mdured because of German greed, lawless
ness nnd lust. As usual, In German eyes,
only Germany is to be sympathized with;
other lands should merely bo grateful that
the heels of tho Huns did not trample them
Into the earth forever and ever'
Tho Hun squeals let him squeal! If tho
Huns had had their way, they would bo
lording it over nil men today. Liberty would
soon perish from tho faco of tho earth ; for
history proves that tho Hun never consider)
anything more than his own comfort nnd
convenience In his colonics. He is merely a
slave-driver.
Tho Hun has equaled or even outdorio nil
conceptions tho average person may havo
held of the dell himself Tho Hun has
ground tho bones of babies Into tho dust of
Poland; cut the throats of wounded men as
they lie in Red Cross hospitals; outraged
women before tho eyes of their helpless fam
ilies; cut oft the heads and gouged out tho
eyes of pome of their unfortunate prisoners,
and destroyed many a fair city as the bar.
barlo hordes passed through. All these wero
tho deeds of tho Huns, nnd they were guilty
of thousands of other brutalities, uncalled
'or and inexcusable. Now they want tho
Allies, and tho Americans In particular, to
soften, and nro trying to awaken pity In
the hearts of thoso whom they havo grossly
wronged.
Let no one soften, for tho Huns of today
aro tho samo as thoso of yesterday. There
has not como any great and genuine change
either in heart or mind thus far They
hao yet to learn the meaning of repentance
and of the desire to atone. They do not
want to "pay the piper," that Is all; and
will use every argument they can trump up
to try and soften the terms of the entirely
Just armistice. Let no one be deceived We
Jhould never lose sight of what tho world has
suffered because of tho Huns,
Germs nv has not one ounce of reverenco
for an) thing high or low; not one lot of
love or mercy for mankind Germany has
even gone so far as to advocato "secondary"
marriages within her borders. Tho Turk of
today Is beginning to embrace the Idea of
monogamy, while Germany would gladly con
elder any sort of "marriage" which would
rcpopulate her land quickly and raise more
"cannon fodder" for the future. This means
children who would be a savage and merci
less as wero the gray demons who overran
the fair fields of Europe.
The Hun squeals let him squeal 1 Let no
ono be deceived Into believing that he is nny
better today than ho was a few weeks ago.
it Is only lust that thoso who caused mil.
lions of decent nnd Innocent people to sur
fer the most crushing griefs and woes should
be handled firmly and without any more con
sideration than strict justice demands.

NAZEWOVA THRILLING
IN "EYE FOR EYE" FILM
Pauline Frederick Scores at the
Arcadia, While May Allison
Is at the Regent
STAN-T,KV "Uie for r.tr" with Alia Nailmova.
!lriTtt,t hv Allirrt Ciipellatit from a story by
Henry Klttcimicker Mtlro play.
'Eye for Eje" will bo among tho best ten
photoplay productions In tho list for this
season becauso It contains nil that could be
desired by tho most exacting movie fan.
There Is a wealth of dramatic nctlon
throughout the play without ono bit of tho
comic relief which somo directors would havo
Inserted Into tho scenario. The exceptional
length of this film proves that there can bo
no set standnrd for what is termed a "features
production," for It takes nearly 7000 feet of
film to tell the talc effectively.
A French officer is saved from death at
tho hands of a band of Arabs by ono of tho
women of tho tribe. Later this band Is
annihilated by the soldiers and tho girl
makes her way to Franco la a traveling
circus. Thero fate brings her to tho place of
tho man nhe saved In tho desert, nnd sho
stnH at his home. Tho wife of tho man
elopes with a lover and leaves tho field clear
to thn irlrl. but not before thcro is a BCeno
between the nephew- of tho man nnd this
desert woman.
Alia Nazlmova excels as a dramatic ac
tress of the screen becauso she has tho
faculty to portray with mobile features and
significant gesture emotions for which an
other actress would rcqulro many titles.
Never does sho seek the center of the nctlon.
and et when she Is In a sccno It Is her
personality which makes Itself manifest at
once. Other characters nro Impersonated by
Charles Brvant. Donald Gnllahor, Sally
Crute, XI L. Fcrnnnde?, John Rclnhurd, Louis
Stern. Charles- Eldrldge, Hardco Klrkland
and little Miriam llattlsta
Thero Is much to admire In tho plctorlst
art of this production, nnd many of tho set
tings bore tho marks of reality Instead of tho
usual studio production The groupings nnd
lightings havo been tastefully nrranged,
while tho designer of tho art titles nnd tho
details deserves much cridlt. The accom
panying music of N. Ifimsl(-Kortakow's
Scherhcrd?ado" was nn irteal i-clecuon tor
tho Mini The news-weekll( s completed tho

Tom J GcraRhl Mttrt pt"
Thero Is n clever Uttlo Idea In this story.
"Her Inspiration," nnd although It has been
used before In utorles It Is hero tn.itid In
such a novel way that It appears UUo a new
plot. It centers nbout an author of a play
who is sent to n district where thero are
moonshiners nnd revenue ofllcers, and, of
course, the "still for wlilcn tlic-o oiuci.ub
ro looking. Tho pi o w right hero falls in
lovo with tho little girl of tho camp, but
leturns to New- York for tho rehearsals of
Inn play. Tlieie ho finds that tho wholo
affair has been staged bv tho manager of
thn production nnd that tho llttlo girl of tho
mountain Is none other than the actress who
will play tho leading role. And so they wero
married. Rather a queer thing that un au
thor of a stago production could not tell tho
wholo affair was "faked"
May Allison Is tho alluring herolnn of tho

It was a good Idea to namo this produc
tion nfter tho slogan which tho bojs nttached
in fin t-ink corps of tin) mmy, ndoptcd for
their Classification amoig tho pet names of
tho warriors, becauso 'Treat 'Em Rough"
nptly debcrlbes in a few words tho wholo
action of this photopliy. Melodrama of tho
western cowboy tpo is what Is found here,
and it has an appeal becauso of the daring
tricks performed by tho hero and his part
ners. The director also did tho 'continuity" f
tho htory and theieforo was nhln to handle
tho author's Ideas to better advantage than
a director, who must follow tho sccnaiio of

Keith's Thentre last night nttesttd to tho
popularity of Eddie Eeonnrd, one of tho best
known nnd best-HKid minstrelsy exponents
on tho two-a-day circuit. The audience
tried u seventh call, but "Eddie" was nbout
nil in Ho Just had to quit. Hut ho didn't
get behind the scenes ngaln until ho had put
over "Holy Poly Eyes." one of his old-time
hits and one other catchy pleco ( wo don't
recall tho title Just now).
Hazel nnd Mary, In ono of the logo boes
declared "Eddie was nover so funny," nnd
tho crowd ngreed with them. He's star
ring In "Dandy Dnn's Ileturn," which Eddie
himself staged and produced. And he's
bached hy n. company of blackface minstrels
that miro can Jazz nnd sing. Eddie has n
bitch of good Jokes thlrt-snen varieties
of "em and somo new songs, among them
"Nora's lleautlful Cloo-Ooo Eyes' and
"Sweetness" Al I-nssar directs the music.
Altogether, It wan somo comeback for Dan
An original conception that's unusual and
decidedly nttractlvf Is "Uugl.mil," In "which
tho stars nre Hert Knhnnr and Jessie Hrown.
Tho prlnclpils arc dolled up as bugs, nnd go
through a series of clever dance slcpi, Tho
ncenlc nrrangement Is gorgeou. Tho muplc
by Von Tllnr Is of tho "humming" sort,
nnd altogether tho fnntnsy Is ono of tho
brightest conctptlons Bhown hero hi a Ions
time.
Mr nnd Mrs Jimmy Hirry. nlways wel
come In Philadelphia nro hack this week In
"Tho llurglar." written by Mr. Jimmy. The
piece has been recn hero manj times bcfoic,
but with each presentation It really gctn
funnier than ever.
Joo I.aurlo and Aleen DTonson are hick
again from musical comedy with their "Let
'Er Go" batch of nonsenso tint's decidedly
funny. East seen of Joe nnd Alien they wero
playing 'Over the Top" They have In
jected ijulto a bit of new- chatter Into the
proceedings and, ns utnial, the audlenco Just
sits back nnd ncreams at the farce.
Lois Joscphlno and Tyler Urooke also are
back from the musical coined stage, nnd

act In a company of Arabians who Jazz

a startler.
Then there's tho "movies' of current
events nlwas popular.
fll.Olli: 'Oh What a Night," In which
farco nnd musical comedy mingle, delighted
last night's nudlenco at tho (llobe. A good
looking choriM nppi irid In catchy numbers
nnd tho comedians elicited manv laugns
ltoland Wot and company, In Iho farce,
"FKIng the Furnnce," had an act flllid with
new- nnd timely material which gave good
pointers on bi.itiug tho high price of coal.
The iciit of tho bill was pleading.
Clioss Kl,v. Sl clever and entertain
ing Juv miles In nn unusual nnd di llghtful net
entitled 'Childhood D.ijk" easily deserved Its
position ns headllner nt the Cross Krju. Tho
act w.m full of fun nnd was uttiactlvely M't
and costumed Tho ToKlo Japs, acrobats, had
nn net well above tho average. Ernest Du
plllo w un no end of laughs with a unique
monologue. The other nets were varied and
entertaining. For the last part of the week
the hading act Is .i musical tabloid, 'Shei
in.M Was Wrong," and tin Iloudlnl i.crlal.
M.o. Kobbv Heath, popular localb.
with his lfilfi itevue. Including n number of
Wist Philadelphia girls, was ,i decided lilt
at tho NIon. Ills revue overflows with good
Hon km and comidv and Is excellently staged.
