need for preserving America against
the menace of anarchy and lawless-
ness.
O ther patriotic societies, it is expect-
ed, will take part in th- celebration.
From letters received from the gov-
ernors of many of the states, it is
,believed that America Day will be
officially recognized.
It is declared to be the belief of
the society that such a mobilization
of patriotic Americans will be a
great discouragement to the "disloy-
al propaganda which is striving to de-
stroy this country," and will also add
a stimulus to the important work of
Americanization among the foreign
born population.
Prof. William H. Hobbs, who has
long ben actively identified with the
work of various patriotic organiza-
tions, expressed himself as heartily
in favor of the movement. He declar-
ed it his belief that such a celebra-
tion would do a great deal to arouse
people to a realization of existing
menaces to the welfare of the na-
tion.
President Harry B. Hutchins, when
interrogated as to whether the Uni-
versity would celebrate the day, said
that he had received no notification
concerning it from the society and
consequently no plans had been made.

Today and Tomorrow
'The Better 'Ole'

AT THE MAJESTIC
Dorothy Gish in "Boots," a Para-
mount picture, will be shown today
and tomorrow at the Majestic, along
with the Triangle-Sennett comedy,
"His Valet," featuring Ford Sterling.
The Douglas Fairbanks picture, "A
Knickerbocker Buckeroo," which was
announced for Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday, has been waylaid in San
Francisco and consequently will not
be shown here until later. In its place
the Griffith picture, "The Girl Who
Stayed at Home," will be shown on
these days.
AT THE WHITNEY
One of the interesting features of
Lyman H. Howe's latest Travel Fes-
tival which comes to the Whitney on
Friday, May 16, is a sensational se-
ries of aviation motion pictures filmed
over the city of Washington.
The pictures were filmed by mem-
bers of the aviation division stationed
at the capital, a corps which has come
to bear the name of "the watch-dogs
of Washington." Not only do the Ipc-
tures give an idea of the new Wash-
ington, with its many recently con-
structed war buildings, but they are
said to possess breathless interest
when the bird men begin their stunts
over the city. In one instance, the
camera has been taken upon a loop
the loop around the topmost point of
the Washington monument, and in
another, the aviator does a dangerous
tail spin directly over th capitol.
Pictures taken about the city of the
various national buildings will be
shown in addition to the aviation film.
AT THE ARCADE
Charles Rock is a peculiarly droll
comedian as Old Bill in "The Better
'Ole," which opened a three-days' en-
gagement at the Arcade yesterday.
The picture is aneadaptation of Bruce
Bairnsfather's humorous stories of
life at the front.
"The Better 'Ole" is not a war pic-
ture, in fact, the plot is completely
subordinated to the humorous charac-
ters and situations, but the war furn-
ishes the background for the three
Birtisher pals, Old Bill, Alf, and Bert,
much as it does in the Charley Chap-
lin picture, "Shoulder Arms." Old Bill
saves a detachment of French soldiers
by intercepting the message of a spy,
and by singular bravery, for which
he is awarded the Croix de Guerre.
The picture is solely for laugh pur-
poses, the author's object being to
portray the whimsical humor amidst
stern warfare. Bert's patent cigar
lighter which never works until the
last minute when it nearly sets the
house on fire, and Alf's constantly in-
terrupted love affairs furnish consid-
erable comedy.
Mluseum Obtains
Gruesome Gorilla
Gorilla hunters from the wilds of
Africa are not common these days. In
particular, successful hunters, those
who have to their credit the death of
one or more of the animals. Yet a
member of the Museum staff had the
privilege-recently of meeting the man
who shot, and sent here, the female
gorilla whose skeleton is on exhibi-
tionin the Museum building.
Dr. Wilmer S. Lehman from Lolo-
dorf, Cameroon, South Africa, a Pres-
byterian missionary to this region
most of his life, is the pman responsi-
'ble for the gorilla and other mammals
in the Museum from this tropical re-
gion. Dr. Lehman was in the city re-
cently, and wasat that time planning
his return to the mission field with his
wife; both of whom are Michigan
alumni.
He takes back with him equipment
from the Museum to facilitate the
gathering of future specimens secured

during his duties as missionary. His
field is 200 miles inland from the
coast, so that any _material secured
there will have added value, due to the
remoteness of the region.
Science has proved that newspaper
advertising pays best. You can reach
all the students and faculty through
The Daily.-Adv.

Lots of people keep money in their boots but who ever thought
that romance, thrills and intrigue could be found in them? See
- what Dorothy Gish's boots hold.
It's the same funny Dorothy who played In"Hearts of the World"
"Battling Jane" and "The Hope Chest."
