PEARL WE 1TB COMES IN NEW POX PICTURE Domestic difficulties and marital mishaps have. long been a favorite subject with men who make the novel and the drama. Big moments in the home life of a man or woman always have a popular appeal. Things that. mirror their own ideas and emotions catch the fancy of the average theatre-goer. Such a drama of realism is “Know Your Men," a William Fox produc_ tion in which Pearl White is starred and which will be the feature attrac- tion at the Veteran Star Theatre to- morrow and Saturday nights, June 23 and 24. Paul H. Sloane, who pic- turized.f“0ver the Hill” for the screen is responsible for this intensely in- teresting photoplayâ€"which contains many little Jouches such as have caused “Over the Hill” to enjoy a long ”and successful run on Broad- way, New York City.

In a faint whisper he said to the singer: “Will youâ€"please sing-‘Dnesâ€"Jesusâ€"Care?’” . Looking closer. she saw that it was her friend of the prev10us meetings. new lying at death's wry dnnr.

Some months ufterx'vari‘ls the lady visited a big hospital. In ward after wartâ€"l she sang to the sick and wounded. Then she was asked it’ she would sing in the isolation ward, where onliy the boneless and nmst extreme cases were kept.

Several III"IiihS later she was singing at Chatham to troOps who were to leave for France next day. Among the slips of paper there appeared the request again: ‘ "Will you please sing 'Does Jesus Care?’ " She dill so. ' A few .\\'eel§s passed and the singer went to France. One night in a large Y. M. C. A. hut. in a base town not far from the lines she was singing to tr00ps who were under orders to leave for the front. Looking through the notes placed on the piano: she was. startled to find again the same handwriting: j‘Will you please sing ‘Does Jesus Gare?’ ” 'Thlsuls the third time I have had this request from the same soldier. she said to her audience after she had sung. “May I have the prmlege of speaking to him after the concert?” “71_ ,,_ n “‘2 F‘“ H'- 5.21 ' l .111: am ug LU 111111 'dlLb’l' Lue CU IIUBI'L.’ VV hen the concert was over a oung soldier came to her and explainedt 12.111 wars before that vmn had been blessed to him 111 “DP “1 DP.

Hence, he sold himself, and was driven afield with them that, while he suffered and toil- ed as they did. he might have opportunity to preach to them the unsearchable riches of Christ. "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” His crown surely will follow his cross. . This poor. sweating Moravian knew as few do “the fellowship of His sufferings” in the utter abandt‘nment of himself to his Lord. What an honor roll will be that of the missionaries of the Cross in the crowningâ€"time that’s coming! , A well-known singer volunteered during the war to sing to British troops. one day she was at. a big training camp, and ac- cording to her custom she invited the men to write requests for hymns on slips of paper and place them on the piano. Among the requests was one that read: “Will you sing ‘Does Jesus Care‘?’ The lady was not familiar with that hymn, but she memorized words and music amt sang it. Although she shook hands with the men as the)" left. the hut no me spoke to her of_ that hymn. --A_-_. The great majority of younger women are realizing to-day that if a change is to be made, if we are to get nearer a single moral standard, it is for women to bring this about. So long as mothers shut their eyes to the moral failings .of eligible husbands for their daughters, or to the Wlld oats of a favorite son, men will accept the present state of affairs. If girls asked of their lovers the cleanness that is asked of themselves, if the woman who would never think of inviting immoral women to her house would refrain from inviting immoral men, there would be a definite impetus to cleaner morals. If women expected more of men they, too, would do the same.â€"_Lady Astor. \ The most. (mtstamli ng \xeaknoss 01 our times is great move- ments \xi: hunt a mm! 11105833 0 .â€"oP_aui Ram-1.

That is one of the effects upon. the foreigner of contact with our boasted American civilization, though perhaps America has a cleaner record than Europe, and the Italian boy doubtless know many swear words in Italian for every one he learned in English.

The Rev. Frank Scott Hollett of Lisbon, North Da- kota, is the first circuit rider, so far as is known, to “make” his various preaching points by aeroplane. He commenced. last October when a young aviatorâ€"a member of his congregationâ€" took him to a point several miles distant by air-router By means of the aeroplane, Mr. Hollett is enabled to preach Si}: or eight times on Sunday instead of four. Onbis first trip he carried a Bible and a large quantity of “good literature” for distribution. “The pastor literally brought a message from heaven,” was the comment of one paper.

But smoulderâ€" ing in her heart is her first love, that needs only the reappearance of the man to flame anew. When this occurs comes another tragedy, for Ellen is turned from her home when she confesses to her husband that she still loves this man. Still more, drama follows when her old sweetheart wishes her to re- turn to her husband while divorce proceedings are pending. The last blow brings to Ellen a realization of her husband’s true worth and a reâ€" conciliation follows. HT.
