SANTA CRUZ. Sonora. Mr*.. April

Above all other requisites for a
good prayer meet tag is prayer.
Clever speeches cannot make a good
meeting. Nor fine music. Nor yet a
variety of forms of participation.
Before all and under all and above
all there must be prayer—sincere,
continued, repeated prayer. It is
possible to have great prayer meet
ings without fine speeches or music,
•o long as there is the earnest pray
er of devoted hearts. Every period
ical prayer meeting would be the
better for devoting an occasional
session exclusively to prayer—pray

concert prayers and sentence pray

prayers from the and* nl liturgies of

Most prayer meetings have a sub

prayers that opened Peter’s prison
doors sought something definitely.

Reverence, always reverartce. and

. "Every line of amusement has had
to readjust Itself as a result of the
amount of money claimed from the
amusement budget by the movies,”
says Ed I>e Wiothe. of the Watson
and Wrot.he company now In the
Oayety. "Every theater that has
eontlnued successful despite the
competition of the moviee haa done
bo because it haa Increased the value
of its offering. Musical comedy and
burlesque have been the least af
fected by the moviee of any line of
entertainment, simply because they
appeal to the theatergoer with color,
music and laughter—the first two of
which at least are not Included In
the movie art." W rot he and Watson
in the long years they have been
before the public have devoted them
selves to burlesque, musical comedy
and vaudeville. Recently, they have
appeared on the movie screen also.
Albert Phillips and company in
the rotnedy-dtama playlet, "The

last five seasons Mr. Phillips haa
been appearing in the well known
playe, “The Great Divide" and M A
Fool There Waa." His vaudeville ve
hicle la said to afford him opportun
ities for versatile and clever char
acter work. He la supported by
Janet Allyn, George Dayton and
Edwin Alkens. Asa second feature

The Coot of Waterloo
"What tha Battle of Waterloo
Coeta Belgium," Is the title of an
article in the Bolglan supplement
to the tendon Everyman. The au
thor Is Pierre Maes, a wellknown
Belgian man of lattara. Among the
many titles inscribed upon the mag
nificent monument erected over tbe
tomb of the duke of Wellington Is
that of "Prince of Waterloo."
"It is a fine title,” says Pierre
Mass, "but to ua poor Belgians, the
great-grandcblldren of the victims of
1815, that title brings up some un
pleasant memories. We are atlll
paying, and paying dearly, for this
great man's glory. Eighty thousand
francs la the total Interest entered
yearly under the name of the duke
of Wellington in our great book of
national debt. The present duke re
ceives from entailed estates in Bel
glum revenues that reach the nice
little sum of 2in.otv> franca. That Is
one of the heaviest charges that
the great coalition of 1815 has left
us. Can we hope that the servlcek
we have rendered Europe and the
heroism our soldiers have shown
will deliver us from It? Great Bri
tain only gave him a sum of 200,000
pounds. The king of the Nether
lands gave him entailed estates
bringing 4n 210.000 francs."
Aa the result of an arrangement
between the Belgian state and the
representatives of the duke of Wel
lington the descendants of the great
man today enjoy a yearly income of
80,837 franca.

To the 83,000 Boys of Detroit:
Saturday, April 15, is Boys’ Day.
A fine souvenir for every Boy.
1 would sooner have your friend
ship than 83,000 grown-ups. For
you, boys, know automobiles.
You can stand on the curb and
call them off faster than my own
salesmen can. You can tell a
Chalmers two blocks down the
Boulevard.
You can tell the miss of a cylin
der quicker than I can. You can
tell why a taxi-cab driver usually
crashes his gears.
And when anew car comes out,
or anew model is presented to the
public, you can pick it to pieces
quicker or give it an O.K. quicker
than all your Dads put together.
Fancy your father buying a
third-rate, little-known and little
sold oar —without your having a
word to say about it.
"Not that one, Dad. I know
what you want.”
That is just about the com
ment you’d make.
And the salesman trying to get
your father’s name down on a
contract would never know, per
haps, where the cyclone came
from. *
I know just how big a part
you play in the purchase of a car,
and for that reason I am going to
do something that no one else in
this town ever did before. I’m
going to have a boys’ Day—down
here at our new store,
ways find a welcome and eager de
sire for more.
Bobby Burns has well said
"O wad some power the giftle gle
us
To see ourael’e as ither* see us.’*
And this is the secret of tbe pow
erful bold the movies have upou us
—the power to see ourselves or one
another as In life wc live.
Tbia fllra play marku an era in
coining to us here, more so to me,
perhaps, than to all others for no
doubt all except myself have seen
moving pictures.
My experience Ir life some 45
years ngo. aa a little boy. when the
magic lantern waa the great thing,
la still fresh In my mind I can re-
Quality First
call tbe ecstatic thrill* of Joy that
chased up and down my spine when.
In lk7l, I sat In Trinity church. Just
beyond the prison here, and saw my
last magic lantern show. Ail wti
still life then. The pictures were
often crude.
Not yet have these eyes of mine
seen an aeioplane, battleship, tor
pedo or Its boat, big gurs, electrics,
submarines, or wireless! Nor hnv*
I had a chance to u»e a telephone.
Pictures, everyone sets. Reading
galore, any >naj have*. But seeing
and reading are not like things, as
was my Idea In the chapel when 1
saw these moving pictures
Those two and a half hours of un
alloyed delight will ever be remem-
I want every boy in Detroit to
come in Saturday, April 15th, be
tween nine in the morningand one
in the afternoon and see us. I want
you to sit at the wfyeel of anew
3400 R. P. M. Chalmers.
You can study the engine and
ask all the questions you want.
Our mechanical and technical men
will be prepared to answer any
question.
We want to show you our shops
—how we tag a customer’s car
when it comes in for repairs, how
we estimate what it will cost to fix
the car up, how we repair cars,
how we sell cars, the system we
have of keeping track of your
father’s or uncle’s car or the gent
leman’s next door.
We want to get acquainted
with you. Maybe we will ask you
some questions about tbe things
you like in a car.
Perhaps we can get Mr. Chal
mers to put some of these things
in his next year's models.
At any rate come in and see us
—Saturday, April 15th, is the
day, between nine in the morning
and one in the afternoon is the time.
Souvenirs will be given during
those hours.
