‘The fight to drive these "salary
buyers” from Cleveland started, Clark
explained, when railroad workers and

Neglect of household pets, active ill-
treatment of beasts of burden, the un~

the alaugter house and the piteous
cruelties of the shippingcarrail of
these cry aloud for redress. Man has
not responded to the claims of the
divine element in his make-up until
he has sought to alleviate conditions
that are at variance with the Will of
God.

PARIS, August 7.—The leaning
Tower of Eiffel’s! Yes, (he Eiffel
Tower is leaning. This used to be the
monopoly of the Pisa edition. The
leaning quillties of the local ‘frower,
long famous’ for eight, are a recent
discovery.
A heat wave caused the Eiffel
Tower to move about five inches out
_of the perpendicular. The- unequal
expansion of the iron girders is res-
ponsible. The girders exposed to the
sun are. more affected than those in
the shadow.
There is, however, no danger that
the tower will tip over, for M. Eiffel
reckoned with the unequal expansion
eventuality when he built the Tower.

hand of the wealthy Tiger Lady. Her
particular from of diversion is to
test the love of her admirers through
the medium of a ferocious tiger.
Menjau’s only suit is ruined through
a practical joke performed by the
others in the cast, and he is forced to
take to the street in his stage clothes
the appearel of a maharajah. How
the Tiger Phincess tries the love with
the gay imposter, and the manner by
which Menjou proves his valor form
an entertaining climax to this most
attractive picture.
Evelyn Brent, who was last seen
here in “The Last Command,” star-
ring Emil Jannings and opposite
George Bancroft in “The Drag Net,”
personates the lady and plays the role
well. Rose Dione makes her minor
character role an interesting due and
Mario Carillo, Leonardo de Vesa and
Jules Rancourt prove clever come-
dians as the three admirers of the
princess.

satirical comedy.
“His Tiger Lady” is Paramount’s
newest production starring the dash-
ing Menjou, and it is being shown on
the screen at the Palace theatre.
This picture is Ernest Vajdas
adaptation of the Alfred Savoir play,
“Super of the Gaiety,” and shows
Menjou in the role of an extra man

The various branches of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals hays accomplished a tremendous
amount in 'relieving the sum total of
misery arising from ill treatment but
there is still much to be done.
Cruelty is to a great extent a mat-
ter of tbougtlessness although there
are unfortunately instances of delib-
erate maltreament of dumb creatures
unable to protest their wrongs.
Enlistment of the sympathy of chil-
dren and the educative campaign
carried on by-the Humane Society
form an important step in a move-
ment that is growing throughout
------- '-mweda and the United States. Chil-
dren in whose hearts has been inculc-
ated a love for animals and whose
Imagination has been captured by the
divine aspect of human compasion
will surely develop into men and wo-
men who will resent cruelty of all
kinds.
