duction which is to he shown tonight
it the Liber,tl Theatre
Everyone who comes to the pic
ture know they ate going to be
treated to something exceptional, for
Viola Dana, the irrepressible, lovely
actress, is supreme in artistry.
As Ardita Farnaui. the young heir
ess who is hounded by a host of
suit-ors, and who is innocently trap
o d by a wordlv schemer of a Rus
, dan, searching l'or a rich American
.vlfe, she fairly dazzled all who be
held her, so winsome is she. The
story deals with the efforts of Ar
dita's frielbds to shield her from the
foreigner. The method is a modern
pirate and as motely a band of cut
throats as ever stroked beards and
cursed, in days when victims walked
the plank.

GIRL TO HUNT LOST GOLD
OF PIRATE FORBEAR
| ' -
I NiBW YIQRiK, Jan. 20. A fair ]
descendant of the famous pirate
of 250 years ago. Sir Henry
Morgan, is to lead an expedition
in quest of sunken treasure.
The lost treasure of gold
,1 plate, bullion and rare jewels,
perhaps worth a million dollars, 1
lies hidden under less than fin
feet of water in a 1 itrie, seclud
ed bay somewhere in the West I
Indies.
A map, traced with a red
fluid perhaps blood—outlines I
' the position of this little bay '
and tolls tlie precise location of
the treasure.
Th s map came into the pos
| session of Virginia Morgan a t
few years ago.
(■ ■s ly boats and their cargoes, the
navy was quick to build up a service
which not only soon repaid th * cost
of organization, but has since result
• d in great savings.
First Gtep Taken
The first step the navy took was
tiha establishment of a salvage sec
tion of the Bureau of Construction
, and Repair, drawing personnel and
equipment front private salvaging
companies. Salvage stations were es
tablished along the Atlantic Coast
by the taking over of many private
i concerns, cm 1 by August, 1917, a
salvage unit had arrived in France.
This consisted of the navy's first
salvage vessel, the U. S. S. Favorite,
| a 1,200-ton s hip equipped with the
i finest tools and machinery for recov
i erlng wrecked vessels. She was
. stocked with diving apparatus, re
compression chamber, pumps and
cutting and welding tools for both
underwater and surface work. A
‘25-tan derrick was amidships,
i Immediately upon her arrival in
i France she started salvaging opera
| tions that kept her busy with not an
i idle day for 18 monihs. Her work
consisted in pulling boats, large and
j small, off the beaches, raising them
! off the bottom, rescuing torpedoed
ships and towing disabled ships to
port. The vessel played an Import
ant part in repairing the transport
Ml Vernon, which was torpedoed
Tier leaving Brest, and then placed
| t coffer dam, the largest that has
■ver been installed in a disabled
; ship, on the U. S. S. Westbrldge.
Almost any one of the vessels the
j salvage ship rescued resulted In sav
ing more than the cost of outfitting
and maintaining her
moucmizea
Tills vessel was shortly Joined by
tuo others, the Chesapeake and the
Manna I fata, all equi pped with the
most modern gear, and though they
continued to do their valuable work
for many months, it was not a spec
tacular tusk and the men who Im
perilled their lives received little
recognition. One of the Important
Putts they accomplished was the sal
vage of the British vessel Narragan
■nt after the attenfpt had been giv
en up by tile British. The American
sthips same along with advice and
equipment that made a success of
want had appeared a hopeless task.
The Favorite, while in France, was
the most complete and modern sal
vage vessel ever sent out. and at
tracted the attention and inveatlga
jtions of the for-mast European ship
| pins nations. In the fall of J!»If*, a.)
. salvaging opr■rations having closed,
'the Favorite rcturiii I hojuc, :*n.d the
| other two ships were sold to a Brit
ish silvan' concern with full eqliip
irent. The former then was placed
in the service of the Panama Canal,
where sh • is now doing heroic work.
yowever, the wartime experience
.-hawed the navy the need of such
vessels, so (wo were equipped espe
cially for the purpose, the Falcon
and the Widgeon. They are com
paratively small, strongly built, and
have the finest equipment. They can
work in rough and shallow wuteju
where other \ els could not veu
111.1 c*. The Widgeon will he used on
tho West Coast, while the Falcon,
which has been in service along thi
Atlantic for some time, has already
been valuable in i':e recovery of two
submarines sunk in accidents.
One of the matt spectacular feats
pe/.’ji'med by this small ship's crew,
accomplished as a regular part of
the day's work, was the saving of
tile Caribbean off the Chesapeake
Capos. Abandoned by her crew, the
Caribbean was afire, but the Falcon's
men boat led her, quenched the
flames while loaded ammunition in
her cargo was exploding about them,
and brought her to port.
The most interesting part of the
equipment bf the Falcon is the de
compression chamber, into which
decivsea dtvers are taken to prevent
occurrence of the “bends” or cais
son disease, which often results from
tiheir too rapid release from the high
air prer. itres and: r which they work.
If a worker leaves an atmosphere of
high compression too rapidly he Is
often attacked by this strange dis
e e, which may leave him paralyzed
or crippled for life if it dj.s not
can'.,' death. This tank has been
called Into use. not only for the
navy's own workers, bill for those of
o.h r workers in compressed air, and
several times it has saved life.
The operation of the dftoompres
sii.n tank is gradually to decrease tho
air pressure from that under which
I thi worker has been, to the 15
l pounds pressure of the open air at
sra level. While (he Falcon was a
i New York recently a commercial
| diver working in Connecticut was
| attacked by the "bends,” and when
I he did not respond to the ordinary
j treatment, and his employers feared
ft.r h'1 lite, ho was rushed to the
, Falcon by train and automobile uutl
I placed in ihe chamber for treatment
I When he arrived he was almost com
I pin ly paralyzed and his chance.
I seemed slight. lie was placed in
i the ciiambur and, after gradual do
| comp.".,. .irj-i for many hours, i> e.n
| eig d ivithcmt the slightest ,1 ef

CLEAN KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING
LOTS OF WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts.
KaMiig loo much rich fcod may
prodace kidney trouble in some form,
says a well-known authority, because
the acids created excite the kidneys,
Then they become overworked, get
sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts
of distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheu
matic twinges, severe headaches, acid
! stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
jsleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir
j i itatlon.
The moment your back hurts or
i kidneys aren’t acting right, or it
| bladder bothers you, begin drinking
, lots of good water and also get
■about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good pharmacy; take a tatolo
[ spoonful in a gdass of water before
| breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys may then act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined
| with lithia, and has been used for
'years to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity; also to
.neutralize the acids in the system
! fo that they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder disorders.
•lad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent
llthla-water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to help keep the kidneys and urinary
organs clean, thus often avoiding
serious kidney disorders. By all
means have y'our physician examine
your kiddeys at least twice a year,
