Members of the executive coun cil cf the Fontenelle Forest asso ciation will meet in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at 9:30 o'clock this morning to inaugurate a drive for $60,000 to pay for the Gil ford tract, at Child's Point, recently acquired by the association. Subscriptions aggregating $40,000 have beeln pleded and by raising the $60,000 sought the association will come into possession of the property that it is proposed to have set aside as a forest reserve and to be used as such for all time to come. At the meeting today plans will be taken up and discussed for financing the Boys' Scouts, Camp Fire Girls' and other activities that have allied interests with the For est association. The project has been endorsed by the Omaha Re tailers association and many of the members are down for subscrip tions to help pay for the land. Hegg for Second Time Asked to Resign, But Refuses; Is Replaced Folice Chauffeur Edward Hegg was asked Monday, for the second time in five days, to resign by Chief of Police Eberstein. When he again refused, he was suspended. Another chauffeur has replaced Hegg at the central police station. Hegg says he will report for duty and continue to report until charges are filed against him and proved. He incurred the displeasure of Commissioner Ringer and Police Chief .Eberstein for. testifying that Detectives Armstrong and Herdzina were drunk on the night of the Brown raid at 2106 Cass street. The officer sent to the central station to take Hegg's place is Chauffeur W. H. Jackson. Jackson was held up about eight months ago at Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth streets and his police badge and gun taken away from him. Jackson was formerly a chauffeur at the central station, but was re moved to the Souh Side. TMOTO -PlAY. OFFERING J FOR.' TODAY New Lister Hospital to Be Six Stories and Cost Quarter Million John Latenser & Sons are pre paring plans for the new Lord Lis ter hospital to be erected at Twenty-sixth street and Dewey avenue, by Dr. E. C. Henry. The building will be six stories and basement and the estimated cost will be more than $250,000. THE endeavors of a painfully rich family to appear aristo cratic iri "Fools and Their Money" amuses the charming Me tro star, Emmy Wehlen, who as a fun-loving girl poses in the story as a social secretary. "Their idea of exclusiveness is so much like a young woman I over heard at the next table in a restau rant," said Miss Wehlen with a smile. "The escort was fingering a little notebook and when he started to write in it she objected. "'There's too many names on your list," she said; 'please don't put mine there.' Then she laid her hand on his arm. "'I want to he different,' she whispered impulsively. 'Get a new book.' " It's done every day. With not one tame or uninterest ing moment in the latest Geraldine Farrar release, "The Stronger Vow," coining to the Strand theater today to Saturday, the world-renowned star is given opportunities to por tray all the emotions that can engulf a beautiful girl in a whirlpool of tragedy, intrigue and love. Flirta tious and arch is the diva when, as Dolores de Cordova, she meets her future lover at a carnival, vindictive and cruel when she swears to kill the man who killed her brother, yielding and femininely sweet and lovely when she learns that her love is reciprocated. Miss Farrar's big moment comes when the inescapa ble truth that the man she has sworn to kill is the man she has just married. In "Mary Regan," the screen ver sion of LeRoy Scott's great novel, in which Anita Stewart will be seen at the Rialto, Miss Stewart plays a convict's daughter whose hand is sought by a rich man's son and by a detective. Its climax is the most thrilling raid upon a big cabaret ever put on screen or stage, incidentally bringing the answer to the heroine's love question. Fannie Ward in "The Cry of the Weak" will be the attraction at the Muse today and tomorrow. Miss Ward has perfect support in Frank Elliott, who plays most convincingly the role of District Attorney Dex ter; Walt Whitman, as Judge Creighton, and Paul Willis as the erring boy, Budd. This photoplay brings out the theme that one-half the crimes committed today are really vengeance against the harsh ness of society, and that many criminals may be' reclaimed if given the proper opportunity. William Farnum will be the at traction at the Sun theater begin ning today in "The Lone Star Rang er", a dramatization of the novel of that name by Zane Grey, author of "Riders of the Purple Sage" and "The Rainbow Trail" in pictunza- At Neighborhood Houses GRANT) lh and Hinnev.

FEATURE AND COMEDY. tioii of which Mr. Farnum has ap peared with such marked success. The scenic effects that frame the intense dramatic action of this story were photographed in picturesque mountain fastnesses and on the desert. The story of a patient, tender lit tle woman's battle with the afflic tion of deafness is told in "The Big Little Person,' a Universal produc tion which will be shown at the Brandeis theater the last times to day, continuous from 1 to 11, with Mae Murray, formerly Broadway's most popular dancer, in the leading role. The story of "The Big Little Person" was adapted from the book by Rebecca Hooper Eastman, the continuity being arranged by Bess Meredyth. Nazimoya has capped the climax of her brilliant career by her work in "Toys of Fate," a Screen Classics production, which will be shown at the Empress for the last times to day. "Toys of Fate" is the story of a child of nature, brought into con tact with the ways of civilization. She suffers, rejoices and in the end finds happiness and heart's desire. The star is surrounded with a bril liant cast of celebrated players in this picture, including Charles Bry ant, Irving Cummings. Frank Cur rier, Nila Mac, and others. Rupert Julian does more than change his make-up when he changes roles in "The Fire Fling ers," his latest Universal Special At traction, which is showing at the Brandeis Theater, for three days starting tomorrow. Repeatedly he plays two parts in the same scene, and it is not until he finally aban dons one of them that the average spectator realizes that one man has played both. Julian's whole man ner changes as he leaves the role of a masterful, brutal, wealthy hus band and assumes that of a repent ant ex-convict, seeking only a chance to "go straight." Motor Convoy to Be Given Hearty Welcome in Omaha Officials of the War Camp Com munity service in the city have been, instructed by the executive secretary of that organization to tender every comfort to the transcontinental mo tor convoy which leaves Washing ton on July 7, and which is expected in this city on the 25th.

Wilson, Bloomfield, Neb. business agent for a Mexican land colonization project, was in Omaha Tuesday, in the irtf.rests of this en terprise. He explained that the pros pective colonists will be anti pro hibitionists who are opposed to what they believe is a curtailment of their personal liberties in this country. The colony is a 500,000-acre nnch i.i Coahuila, Mexico, between Eagle Pass and Del Rio. It is propjstd to open the colony July 12, and to es tablish a new town to be known as Braunfels. One hundred Texas farmers are said to have been en listed and 1,000 settlers are expected. Mr. Wilson stated that he expects thousands of Americans will be at tracted to this colony. One of the attractive features of the colony, as represented by Mr. Wilson, is the fact that the location is not accessible by bandits, the Burro mountains serving as a pro tection against raids. Bill at the Empress. A novel fashion review showing the newest New York, Paris and London gowns in full view of the audience on living models, is the stellar attraction at the Empress Theater.

Pitz. as he glanced over the list of recruits. "The boys want to be at home to celebrate, and the result is the number of enlistments has de creased during the past week. We have enlisted 244 men during the month of June, not quite so many as in May. After July 4 we expect to make up for lost time." Hogs Reach $21.75, Highest Price In Market's History Chicago, July 1. Hogs today commanded the highest price ever known, $21.75 a hundred weight.

Before the United States entered the great war, $10.25 was the acme for hogs in July. To Have Perfect Skin Throughout the Summer This is the season when she who would have a lily-white complexion should turn her thoughts to mercolized wax, the firm friend of the summer girl. Nothinsr so effectually overcomes the soiling effects of sun, wind, dust and dirt. The wax lit erally absorbs the scorched, discolored. withered or coarsened scarf skin, brincr insr forth a brand new skin, clear, soft and girlishly beautiful. It also undoes the pores, removing blackheads and in creasing the skin's breathing capacity. An ounce of mercolized wax, obtain able at any drug store, applied nightly like cold cream, and washed off morn ings, will gradually improve even the worst complexion. There is nothing better for the removal of tan, freckles or blotches. Adv.
