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.

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.
