The picture, which was produc- od by Mr. J. Ernest Williamson and is being distributed by Goldwyn, was made possible by the invention of a diver's suit that reguires no breath- ing attachment of tubes stretching to the surface of the water. The story is the tale of a treasure hunt that takes its rival factions from the Ho- tel Astor in New York to the race track at Havana, Cuba, and then by submarine to the bottom of the sea. Ralph Ince directed "Wet Gold" and acted the leading part himself.-- Advt, 1 eee At the Strand, There are few better ways of es- caping from the strain of everyday work and worry than seeing a play that keeps one guessing--keeps ev- ery faculty on the alert so complete- ly that all thought of the ordinary things of life is obliterated; in a 'word, that takes us out of ourselves. Few plays ever presented on stage Or screen possess this quality to a greater degree than "Who Am I?"-- the feature offered at the Strand for three days, starting to-day. The story tells of a beautiful girl who did not .. know her own real name and parents and was kept guessing for years. The audience, like the heroine, is kept guessing, un#il the tangled threads of plot are unravelled and all is cleared up. A sumptuous pro- duction, directed by Henry Kolker, who is known far and wide for his masterly "Palaces of Darkened Win- dows," and played by a brilllan cast. "Who Am I?" is a distinctive film drama that will touch the hearts and ' live in the memory of all who see it. And the Strand announces Char- lle Chaplin in "Police."

QUEEN'S FIRSTS WINNERS {In New Series for Whig Soccer Cup ~--Defeat R. M. C. Sta, Queen's took the first game in the new. series for the Whig soccer cup from the R. M. C. staff Wednesday afternoon by a score of § to 2. The games was played on Queen's lower campus and was well contested. Both teams had some fine players out and the snow had almost entirely cleared from the ground, so that a good ex- hibition was put on. R.M.C. staff worked hard, but it was evident that the practice of the Queen's team to- gether this year has made them bet- ter ball handlers and surer of their Passes and shots, The Whig cup was offered as a city league trophy to be won three times in succession before a club be- came owner of it. The present holder is the R. C. H. A. Queen's challenged for the trophy, and the city league has arranged this series to decide the issue, Queen's will now play off with the winners of the game at R. M. C. on Saturday between City and R. C. H. A., the date to be arranged later. The makeup of the City team is not yet known generally, but if they can defeat R. C. H. A, it will give Queen's something to think about. CADETS ON THE GRID 1 "Chick" Mundell had his squed of soldiers hard at practice on Wednes- day afternoon for a gruelling two hours, most of the time being spent in line plunging tactiog, The snow has disappeared from the field at R-M. C,, and though not-al- together dry, yesterday 'the condi tions are more favorable for prac- tice than during the past week. The ball-passing ability of the ca- dets, always prominent, has become 80 highly developed, and their aim so deadly, that it is feared that some of the substitute players used in the practices may be knocked cold, when they happen to come into contact with the speeding pig-skin. Macdonell was seriously hurt when kicked on the head during the work- out, and had to be removed to the hospital. It is hoped to have him patched up for the Varsity game on Saturday. . The cadets are determined to wrest the championship from Var sity, who have held the'title for the past two years, and to notch up an- other victory for their record of the twenty-three years since the inter. mediate series was inaugurated. Zimmerman, Jones and Swabey will be ready for the big game oa Saturday, and are primed to the lid with ambition to walk all over the blue and white. As both teams are so evenly mat- ched, it is exected that a close score will result. What Varsity lacks in tricky plays and stellar ability they make up in bulk and weight, oS THREE MEN SEVERELY BURNED AT CORBYVILLE The Accident Occurred at Plant While They Handled Acid Drum.

The complaint was that Cap- tain Whelan had failed to render an account, The evidence disclosed tha: the complainant was indebted to Captain Whelan, and that no request for an accounting had heen made to tha captain.

Being no lo in the military Service, he recently closed a deal with a firm in Montreal to sell his uniform and other military equip. ment, and was in the act of packing IPETERBORO WAS STORMED By Kingston Kiwanians Who Instituted a Club There on Wednesday.» -- With a snap and a bang the King- ston Kiwanis Club conducted a cnar- 'er and presentation meeting at Pet- erboro Wednesday. Kingston was "on the map in the northern city from the minutes of the arrival by special car of some sixty Kingston Kiwan- lang at 6.20. They were met at the station by a band and a large repre- sentation of Peterboro citizens, anc was as interesting as it wa unique. In charge of *Billy" Moore behind the band, same fourteen Kiwanians carrying suit cases, each case prom- inently spelling the words "Kiwan- is; We Build." Two banners, cach seventy-five feet long, in Kiwanis colors, reading "Kingston Kiwanis" were borne by other Kiwanlans who armed with a variety of musical in- struments soon let the Peterboro citizens know who they were, and of their interesting mission--- the start- ing of a Kiwanis Club in Peterboro, sponsored by Kingston, The charter meeting was held in the new G. W. V. A. hall, the Ladies' Auxiliary of that organization look- ing after the splendid supper. The programme was all arr ed by Kingston, and President "Frank Hoag presided. International Kiwa- 'nis was represented by internation- al trustee, George H. Ross, Toronto, who delivered a masterly address on the various subjects of Kiwanis, He dealt most interestingly with the big Kiwanis international convention to be held in Toronto next June, which would be attended by thousands from all over the United States and Ca- nada, and serve as another strong link in the bonds that so strongly unite the two great nations of the western hemisphere. Other speakers included District Lieut.-Governor St. Clair, Toronto, who formally presented the charater to Peterboro, and representatives of Kiwanis clubs from Ottawa, Hamil- ton, Kitchener, St. Thomas, Guelph and Toronto. ™ The freedom of the city was ex- tended to all visitors by Kiwanis Mayor Mcintyre, Peterboro, and very happily accepted in a splendid speech by Kiwanian Mayor Nickle, Kingston, The many presentations and wish- es for the success of the Peterboro Club brought replies from President Frank Whitehouse, Kiwanian G. N. Gordon, M.P., the Liberal member at Ottawa, the Rotary Club, Minis- terial Association, and other similar bodies. The programme included instru- mental and vocal selections by Capt- ain Lee, Harold Singleton and Ted Treneer, Kingston, and George Chandler, Peterboro, and led by songmaster Harold Hughes, attired in a yellow silk dress suit. The many Kiwanian songs were never better sung. In well-chosen words, Kiwanian R. J. Rodger presented Peterboro with a suitably engraved gavel and a wel- come to the new members was given by Kiwanian W, Y. Mills. Kiwanis stands for service through the organized effort of fellowship and the Peterboro Club are now off to a good start with Kingston strong- ly behind them, and the 'two cities are more than ever before united in a way that will undoubtedly bring credit to Kiwanis and a benefit to the communities that they are both endeavoring to serve, The following Kingston Kiwanians went to Peterboro: Frank Hoag, Noble Steacy, Geo. Brownlee, Jack Sowards, John McKay, R. J. Rodgers, Harold Hughes, W. J. Mitts, Harry Sargent, Billy Moore, Frank Anglin, W. J. Keeley, R. Easton Burn, W. Cusick; R.:J. Reid, Harry - Wildet, M.
