Sees Certain Intervention
Washington, Sept. 6. Warring
Mexicans that intervention by the
United States is imminent. General
Salvador Alvarado, one of the lead
ers in the Carranza movement
throughout its course, has addressed
an open letter to Carranza himself
and Generals Obregon and Gon
zales in which he arraigns condi
tions In Mexico in scathing fashion.
Alvarado, who attracted attention

ican Constitution work in actual
practice, declares the system must
be changed.
Nations Oppose Poison
Gas Use, March Says
Washington, Sept. C. Civilized
nations are united to abolish forever
the use of poison gases in all future
wars, and to place under the ban of
world condemnation the nation that
employs it, General March. Chief of
Staff, yesterday told the House Mili
tary Affairs Committee.
"To make war least horrible poi
soning of the air is just as much to
be abhorred and avoided ns poison
ing of water." commented General
March, but if any government, like
the former German Government,
which was without morals or hu
manity, should use poison gases in
the war, the United States must be
prepared for defense."

the home to Charles Getz in East
Simpson street, and in a brief period,
while Mrs. Getz and small children
were in the lot at the rear of the
house, carried off her gold watch and
about $5O in money. The robbers
must have worked fast, for Mrs. Getz
was not away from the house long,

NEWSY PARAGRAPHS OF THE THEATER AND MOTION PICTURES
Vivid Griffith Drama Has Many Sensations ,
"The Mother and the Law," a new i
D. W. Griffith production of thrills i
and sensations, is announced as the i
special attraction at the Victoria all
next week, coming direct rrom the
George M. Cohen Theater, New York, i
Playgoers who are familiar with
Griffith's earlier triumphs, "Hearts
of the World," "The Fall of Batjylon,"
etc., will be especially interested in
this recent production, wherein the
genius of Griffith is again revealed
through his handling of great crowds
and powerful situa|ion| True, in
"The Mother and the Law," Mr.
Griffith has gotten away from the
smoke of battle and the scenes of
combat that were so remarkably de
picted in "The Birth of a Nation" and
earlier works, but the new and
tremendous domestic drama that he
has brought nto being in this latest
PERTINENT PERSONALTIES
Captain Phillips Hubbard. who
plays opposite Florence Turner in
"Oh, It's E. Z.," her first self-directed
comedy, was with the British army
for two years, enlisting the first day
of the war. Two years later he was
invalided home because of trench
feet. Captain Hubbard dramatized
Rex Beach's "The Barrier" .and ap
peared uas leading man in "The
Auction Block," another Rex Beach
story.
Arthur Maude, the famous English i
actor, who plays a prominent role in
"Common Property," the new Uni
versal feature which Paul Powell is
directing, was for ten years a co
star with Constance Crawley, and was
three times a headliner on the
Orpheum and Keith Circuits. Be
sides numerous noteworthy
motion picture roles, Mr. Maude also
has written and directed several pic
tures. Recent productions in which
he has appeared include "The Blind
ing Trail" with Monroe Salisbury and
"The Microbe" with Viola Dana.
AT THE RIGHT TIME
The other night at a local picture
show an egotistical young man was ]
giving a very shy, diffident person '
some advice, which interested the peo
ple around them. He told elaborately
of his own success and then en led::
"What you have to do now is to ttlu l
a little bit more about yourself and the |
things you do. If a fellow doesn't ad- i
vertise himself, who will, I want to ]
know?"
Just then a subtitle was flashed on |
the screen and every one around the |
two yoang men laughed heartily. It i
read: A whale never gets into trouole
till he begins to blow."—lndianapolis '■

"I'm glad I'm not a Hindu sol

always late to formations.
"Why?" asked the sergeant who!
was always calling him down for i

"It's bad enough," responded the
chronically tardy one, "to get my
legs dressed for reveille, let alone
wrapping an extra spiral leggin
around my head."—The Spiker, A.

"The flat suits me very well," said
the prospective tenant, "but the kitchen
won't do."
"What's wrong with it?" asked the
agent.
"It seems to have been cut to fit a
woman who weighed about ninety
pounds. My wife weighs 200 pounds.

such a housemaid.—Pittsburgh Chron

of his works will undoubtedly prove
one of his most notable contributions
to the screen.
The cast for "The Mother and the
Law" is thoroughly representative of
a Griffith company. The principal
players include Mae Marsh. Robert
ilarron, Miriam Cooper, Ralph Lewis,
Walter Long, Alberta Lee, Margaret
Marsh, Tod Browning and others
whose names are familiar to those j
who patronize the higher form of ,
motion pictures.
In line with his established policy
of providing special music for all of |
his productions. Mr. Griffith has fur- I
nished an elaborate store by
Louis Gottschalk. The photography
by G. W. Bitzer, Mr. Griffith's chief
camera man, is up to the high stand
and reached in "Hearts of the
World" and other superplays.
SAVAGE DEVELOPS
ONLY ONE "STAR"
Merry little Mitzi is the only star
Henry W. Savage has ever set before
the public in his twenty odd years
of producing for the stage although
he has brought to the footlights al
most every known kind of entertain
ment including iiis impressive Eng
lish Grand Opera presentations,
drama, farce and musical comedies
in great abundance. Other well
known players, since grown to stellar
importance, have been under the
Savage management, but Mitzi,
smallest in size of all the long list to
play as prima donna under the Sav
! age banner, has been the only one
considered to have earned her big
classification as "star."
FIRST -\jn MAIL STATION
| Presto—we have the first United
States Aerial Post Office—made by a
I motion picture company. At an ex-
I pense of $25,000 the Universal has
taken a peep into the future and
j erected the first one at Universal
City, with hangar accommodations
| on its roof for 100 aeroplanes.
] The set is being used in "The
Winged Trail," the melodrama of
the skies, starring Lieutenant O. L.
' Locklear, the only aviator who
changes from plane to plane in mid
air.
j the set was bult under the joint
| supervision of Robert Ellis of the
• Universal technical department and
I Pacques Jaccard, who is directing the
! feature.
One hundred high-power search
lights were installed on the ground
| to allow the aeroplane action to be
shot at night in the air.
A road grading outfit, including a
1 platoon of sprinkling trucks and a
; seven-ton roller was used in the
tremendous job of leveling off and
hardening up 50 acres of the field, so
that the fleet of planes used in "The
Winged Trail" could "take off" and
land without the raising of dust, a
hindrance to perfect photography.
"The Winged Trail" is a thrilling
i story of the United tSates Air Ser
| vice in 1930, and Director Jaccard,
I who wrote the story, has used his
J imagination freely to portray vividly
i the aeroplane as it promises to be in
the future.
In addition to being surrounded
with many of the crack ex-aviators
| of the army, navy and marine corps,
i Locklear Is supported by an all-star
I cast with Francelia Billington aad
Carmen Phillips in the leading femln-
I ine roles.
; WOULD SAVE HUBBY
We have a neighbor whom we knew
i to be greatly devoted to her own fam-
I ily. but until we had our first Cali
; fornia thunder storm, writes a friend of
the Youth's Companion, we did net
know that she was entirely lacking in
a proper sense of humor.
I heard her calling in the midst of
1 j the storm, and opened my window.
"Is Mr. Hunter at home?" she said
excitedly. "I had a dreadful shock
I when I took down the receiver, and I
'' want him to come over and put it back
on the hook."
"Isn't Mr. Roberts at home?" I sug
gested.
"Oh, yes. He Is in the garage with
the boys, but you know I think it Is
| very dangerous to handle the ihing, so
I | I don't want to call them."—Dallas
