Athletes who refuse to abide oy rules tthould take consequences, According to a general opinion prevailing in scho lastic circles in Harisburg.

Transform "Holligans" by Means of Movies London, Feb. 19. Bail boys, or "Hooligans," as the are often called in (this country, are being transformed on an extensive scale. One way to reform them is to take them to instructive moving picture shows and to allow them to mingle with the good boy scouts, according to some of the rem edies outlined by lieutenant-General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the chief scout. "The problem is to get hold of the existing hooligan and tume him," said the chief. "In Birmingham they form ed what are called the reserve scouts. There are 2,000 young hooligans who are honorary members of scout troops, as they are allowed to play games without taking up scouting at all un less they wish, but ninety per cent, of them want to become scouts after they have been playing a week or two." "Many of them have already been rewarded for public service. That is what these hooligans want. It is a most pathetic sight to see a real hooli gan who had been a "bobby baiter' (police nag/;er) suddenly turn into an orderly for the police, a copper's com panion as one of them called himself. In Hull a number of hooligans have turned into sea scouts. " A good many people say that the cinema is /-esponsible for everything that is bad. Xgo there myself a good deal. That sort of argument reminds me of the case of a boy who was re warded by a magistrate for saving life by stopping a runaway horse. "You never go to a cinema, do you iny boy?' asked the magistrate. 'Yes, I do,' re plied the boy. 'That's where I learned how to do it.' " "In Newcastle we are taking the boys from the streets into the cinema, where instructive pictures are shown. They see how to deal with accidents, and learn all kinds of other things from the pictures."

The national cemeteries of tlie battlefields of the American Civil War which serve as permanent reminders to the people of the United States of the price which was paid for freedom, are referred to frequently in this country in connec tion with the work of perpetuating the graves of the British soldiers in France and Belgium. Especially wap this done when the Prince of Wale# returned from the western battlefront and an nounced that 150,000 British graves in and Belgium has been Iden tified and registered in 400 burial grounds. The Prince of Wales heads the Com mittee for the Care of Soldiers' Graves, which has undertaken the gigantic task of looking after the resting places of the dead after they have been mark ed out by the Graves Registration Unit. The Prince announced that more than sixty of the 400 burial grounds have already been laid out and planted un der the direction of the directors of the Royal Botanic gardens at Hew on the Thames near London. "I have seen how beautiful these cemeteries look when the flowers are cut," said the Prince, who has been an indefatigable worker for the preservation of these lasting monuments to the British sol diers. The Prnce told from his own observation, something of what has been done. "last year," he said, "the French government moved many thou sand sorrowing hearts in this country to a deep emotion by the simple and gracious offer to set apart forever, in special honor, the burial places of Brit ish dead in France. "I have also visited," continued the Prince, "some of the French cemeter ies being cared for by our Graves Reg istration Units in that part of the line, which has been taken over by the British and 1 can speak of the close co-operation and sympathy between the Fernch and English in this work. I hope the same spirit will be main tained by this committee after the war." The Committee For the Care of Soldiers' Graves has decided not to erect any permanent memorials in France or Belgium until after the war. AMl'KlvM I-'. NTS f THUS. H.

Griffith's "Intolerance," which will be seen at the Orpheum for three days, beginning to-day, with daily matinees, who, it' that had been their only appeaarnee before the public, would die "unwept, un honored and unsung." Did you know that Sir Herbert Beerbom Tree appears as an "extra'' in one brief scene? Did you know that DeWolf Hopper was a part of one of the mobs, and that Douglas Fairbanks appeared in some of the scenes? They did this just to be in a picture which they knew would be a world-wide sensation. It was just a quiet tribute to the great producer. On the other hand there are unknowns who now are revelling in eulogis tic criticisms. The most remarkable case is that of Constance Talmadge, who, before she appeared in "Intolerance," hud never been heard of. As the Moun tain Girl of Suslana she is second in public favor only to Mae Marsh. Although Bessie Dove, "the bride of Cana," is well known, she had never been heard of when she was cast by Mr. Griffith for the scene of the marriage to Cana.
