Thomas H Ince, producer of
“CIVILIZATION”, purchased a
huge freighter from one of the
Pacific steamship lines, filled it
with hundreds of men, women
and children—all of them expert
swimmers, and sunk the boat
mid ocean. The illusion on the
screen is perfect, as well as in-
tensely dramatic. One sees all
the horrors of the Lusitania
tragedy which shocked the civ-
ilized world several years ago.
Nothing like it has ever been at-
tempted either on the stage or
with the camera. This scene
This name on a wagon is positive proof that under the paint will be found quality.
It is strongly braced, trussed and clipped from pole to endgate and the materials used
are the best that can be obtained.

“Juvenile Delinquency in
England, France and Germany

unsettled conditions of war. The
United States, profiting by then
experience, must lake mersures
to conserve the children, to
throw around them such protec
tion and care as will reduce rath-
er than increase juvenile deiin
quency. Men who give their
lives for their country have a
right to demand that their chil
dren’s lives may not be blighted,
that their education be uninter
rupted, that their babies’ lives
may be s<*ved through instruc-

that every protective and elevat
ing influence be extended to
make up in a degree, for the ab
normal conditions which war
entails.

SPECTACULAR FIREWORKS
DISPLAY
Monster tanks, those death-dealing
fighting machines which have revolt!
tionized warfare during the present
world-struggle, will feature “The
War of Nations,” the stupendous fire-
works display to he given nightly tie-
fore the grandstand.
Woven about a theme of patriotism,
“The War of Nations” vividly por-
trays that spectacular side of trench
war which correspondents in the fight-
ing zone have described
of detail. Planned by
have had experience in
“The War of Nations”
produces the scenes characteristic of
the battlefronts. Huge guns roar de-
fiance, bombs hurl through the air
on their mission of death, cannon
belch forth streams of fire that carry
destruction in their wake, while high
overhead colored rockets sputter and
hiss their messages which guide the
battle.
Through the barrage of fire the
mammoth tanks crawl laboriously
about, showering a rain of fire in an
awe-inspiring demonstration of actual
battle scenes.
Produced at an enormous cost, “The
War of Nations” is admittedly the
most pretentious pyrotechnical display
ever attempted.
Announcement has been made that
the Texas Jersey dub will sell eighty
head of fine Jerseys at the State Fair
of Texas on October 25, the day es-
pecially set aside for the club.
The State Fair is offering nrem-
umi totaling $1,515 in the Jersey
llass of the Dairy Cattle Department,
and the American Jersey club will
supplement this wflh $170 in cash and
a number of valuable medals and tro-
phies The Texas Jersey club will

“CIVILIZATION”, Thomas H.
Ince’s great film spectacle,

showing warfare in three phases,
in the air, on land and under the

of successful war pictures show-
ing battles on land, and even in
the air, among them “The Birth
of a Nation”, but “CIVILIZA
