•‘THE HIDDEN WOMAN”
The latest work of Allan Dwan,
one of the foremost directors of the
producing art. entitled “The Hidden
Woman,” will be the main attraction
tonight and Wednesday. “The Hid
den Woman' is a feature distinctly
out of the ordinary, in that It hits
upon a theme which, while close to
the hearts of all people, has very
seldom been elaborated upon for

Motion Pictures
Pleasant odors, typical of the scene
being shown, may be used in motion
picture theaters shortly, to add reality to
the screened picture story. This will be
accomplished by working keys at the
organ, which will be connected to suit
able spraying apparatus. When an ocean
scene appears, the bracing odor of salt
air, with its pleasant tang, will be wafted
through the theater, as a natural ac
companiment of the setting. Similarly,
a country background will call forth the
characteristic fragrance of freshly mown
hay. Exotic perfumes and incense will
be used in Oriental presentations.

“Loud Speaker” Guides
Vessels to Port
Marine engineers at an English port
hare derised a voice-amplifying appara
tus, which, it is claimed, greatly reduces
the ganger el accidents to large vessels
approaching their docks in a taisy harbor.
With tbs new lend speaker, a dock sups
inteadent may throw his voice out over a
loog'stietefa aI water to the helmsman of
an incoming ship. Complete docking
directions can be given in much lens time
than in required when whistles and bolls
are used. The amplifier is so large that a
crane is necessary to swing it into position
lor use. An attendant, mounted on the
hoist, points the instrument in the proper
direction. « f \

Removing Headlamp Rims >
When it becomes necessary to remove
automobile headlamp rims, it will fre
quently be found that they are so rusted
that they cannot readily be turned by
K«id This is due to the fact that insuf

Simple Portable, Adjustable
Base for Farm Engines
The problem of holding down a gasoline
engine, without resorting to the usual
method of bolting it to the floor, was
solved by the portable and adjustable base
shown in the drawing. Two heavy wooden
beams are bolted to the underside of the
engine, their ends projecting far enough
to be used as handles. Two similar beams,
somewhat shorter, are permanently at
tached to the floor so that those on the
engine will fit between them. A remov
able rod is then pushed through holes
drilled in all four beams, to lock them to
gether and hold the engine down securely.
One hole is drilled through each outside
beam and a arries of holes through the
inner ones so that the two base members
can be locked together at different points,
to obtain proper belt tension. Floor
beams of the same type are attached near
icreen use. Ann Wesley, the prlu- .
lpal character In the picture, is hid
hr her real s-df, her honest, respect*',
ible personality, because she be
ieves that by assuming an exterior:
if irresponsibility ;ytd recklessness I
she will thus attract the men of her j
icquainfaneo. ConsiderlitgM he pres '
?nt day agitation regarding the mod
srn “flapper," this theme would seem
to be a particularly timely basis for
i motion picture.
There Is also a Christie Comedy,
entitled) -‘A Rambling Romeo.”
REALISTIC EARTHQUAKE
SCENE IN FEATURE
What is claimed to be the pinnacle
of realism is achieved in the earth ,
quake scene of "Saved By Wireless.”
at the Coliseum Wednesday night
only. Similar seeneJTof the past Were
regarded as extremely realistic when
they depicted buildings swaying ami
tumbling and people rushing from j
under them in terror. But in thisi
picture, the fourth and Anal Instal-1
ment of Paramount's “The yistresS|
of the World," the realism is car
ried to an even farther degree by de
pleting the ground rocking, with frrr
rrazed negroes standing rooted to
it, too nerveless to flee.
SUPERSTITION THEME
SUBJECT OF FEATURE
Do you believe In superstition?
If you do, you no doubt know of
the legend of "ace of spades” and
"devil's finger.”
But. after all. is superstition a habit
or a fear that has been injected into
one's life?
Is it an inheritance? There are
those who believe it is. but the ma
jority of those who are inclined to
characterize as absurd superstition
of any story, will argue that it is
merely a sign of timidity—of fear.
But is it?
That Is the perplexing, interesting
and timely question that is answered
in “God's Country and the Law,”
which will be shown at the Palace
theatre on Thursday.

hocoes of early days, but the prac-j
ical ji.kerc of the old times have a!
jood one on them and C. Bender,

irovn It.
Bender i. la charge of the laying
f the new sewer pipe on J^aln
Street and the construction of the
aew street. For the past several
jays ho has had a crew of men
working on the street. The scene
Is not dissimilar to one of the early
days of placer mining as a hose is
used for washing down the dirt and
a sluice box carries the refuse into
the Channel.
Picking up a shovel of dirt Ben
der in a careless glance, ratw a color
of gold. Closer inspection showed
several colors. In practically every
shovel of dirt a few colors can be
recti, some as largo as a pin head.
Bender is deciding on the advisabil
ity of putting riffles in the sluice
box. The colors caught might pay
a good part of the expenses of pres
ent operations, he says.
According to Juneau residents it
was a regular pastime to search for
colors in sluice boxes whicli were
erected when the hill on Main Street
was washed down for the erection
of the Behrends buildings between
Second and Third Streets. Each day
at noon when operations closed for
the lunch hour the colors were taken
from the boxes.
