"Dr. Elliott and other great educators consider the subject of sex hygiene so important that they have advocated its being taught in all the schools and colleges.

Through every heart runs a vein of human emotion, which touched, responds in all alike. "The Blindness of Virtue" carries this special appeal. It strikes this universal chord that sets the heart of the world vibrating. This six-act Kssanay photoplay, written by Cosmo Hamilton, is more than entertaining; it is fascinating.

Its artistry of production is perfect; its scenic beauty is unsurpassed and the acting is supreme. But above all. there is a heart appeal to mothers, to fathers, to daughters, to sons. It calls for the saving to the nation of the flower of Its womanhood by teaching the truths of life and love. It is this special appeal that lifts this photoplay above the level of the merely excellent play to the plane of the masterpiece.

F.dna Mayo and Bryant Washburn, in the leading roles, bring out all the strong points of the play with a mastery that makes every heart respond.

"It Is a well-konwn fact that most Parents hesitate to in any way infringe upon that respect and rever ence which they have always received from their children, due to the fait that custom has forbade the discus sion or even insinuation of moral questions in the family councils. "What children learn from the out side world never enters their minds as applied to their parents and the fact that they are the children of their parents.

The opinions on one side of the question are as strong as the opinions on the other side, but the delicate manner in which the subject is handled In the film stroy of 'The Blindness of Virtue' shows that the motion picture camera ran teach this most important of life's questions in a way that can not possibly injure tne rinest sensininttes of a parent or of any young girl.

Hal Forde declares that Kalem's three-act Broadway favorite feature, "The Maker of Dreams," is one of the strongest productions In which he has appeared.

And when it is remembered that Mr. Forde has played on Broadway opposite Kitty Gordon in "The Enchantress." In "The Purple Road," "Made In America," and other great successes, this new Kalem feature must be of extraordinary merit to exact this comment. It is a story of a country girl's love for a wealthy young man, and of his love for her. An ambitious mother prevents the match, bringing misery upon both, and causing an amazing series of developments. Mr.

Forde enacts a dual role in "The Maker of Dreams." It is a photoplay you will never forget. See it at the Queen today. "What will Helen do next?" Is the question asked by pohtoplay patrons every time an episode of Kalem's "Hazards of Helen" railroad series is flashed upon the screen.

The sound of merry voices and the clinking of wine glasses came through the clused door of a child's room In an apartment situated in a quarter of Paris, where night life predominates and where revellers know they may come and go as they please. It was late at night. The child had been asleep, but awakening, frightened, she stepped to the door a moment to listen and then fearlessly, having heard the musical laugh of her mother, she opened the door and entered a large room. It was filled with men and women, whose gaiety may have had some Inspiration from the bottles which poked their heads above the rim of ice buckets, which formed an outer fortification around the banquet table. At the sight of the child the conversation ceased for a moment, then burst forth at some indiscreet remark.

On August 18, the New York City left Jiristol in ballast on her return trip.

Her agents received dispatches con-lirmiiiff her sinking today. The Interpretation of the disturbing rumors about the Lapland, however, failed to give much comfort to ths Lapland's owners. The Lapland, a Red Star liner, under charter to the White Star line, sailed from this port with 318 passengers and a large and valuable i cargo on the afternoon of August 12. She was delayed two hours in getting away by the last-minute arrival of a i quantity of Virginia tobacco in hogsheads, which had to be taken aboard and by the work of lashing several eases of motor trucks to her main fleck.

Even if It should transpire that Germany added nothing to the toll of American lives it had already taken. It would still remain a deliberately unfriendly act.

It Is to be hoped the -official account will show press reports to be inaccurate. For, else-n-lse. the United States will be put to the Ineluctable necessity of suspending diplomatic relation KAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: The degree of public indignation may and very likely does often depend upon the number of lives lost particularly the number of American lives. But if the attack on the Arabic be proved circumstantially Identical to th attack on the Lusitanla, regardleei of the number of casualties, the American people and the American government must resent very deeply this scornful, defiant repudiation of their virtual ultimatum, based on a most righteous contention. TEMPIfl (TEXAS) TELEGRAM: We hope the sinking of the Arabic can be explained as an error on the part of the commander of the submarine.
