An American pilot flying in Mexico crash-lands on a ranch, and is nursed back to health by the daughter of the ranch's owner. Unbeknownst to the pilot--who has lost his memory because of the crash--the girl has been praying for a husband, and believes that God has answered her prayers by sending him this handsome pilot. However, a local guerrilla leader has also had designs on the daughter, and comes up with a plan to get rid of his competition, make some money and win the girl in the bargain.

Leviathan, a ship that started out German and ended up American, having been seized by the U.S. Navy during WWI. Here is a story about the ship in Wikipedia. It was in dry dock in Boston in May of 1923, preparing for its maiden voyage on July 4th of that year as a commercial ocean liner. Below is a picture of it at Boston.

The Crucifixion
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
HOME BEAUTIFUL SHOW AT MECHANICS HALL
Continuing next week, it will be possible to acquire information at the Home Beautiful Exposition in Mechanics Building on home making—and keeping. All halls are taken, and though exhibitions are enough to incite wishes about where one’s money could go, especially if one had more of it, interest is keen about a feature of the exposition which is not to do at all with seeing and admiring, but hearing. There are non-trade lectures every afternoon and evening. Of course instruction is the dominant note of the home beautiful exposition. Great pains have been taken, however, to make instruction better than it ever has been before. One enters the exposition through aisles of concentrated luxury appealing to many tastes and with advantages of the objects carefully pointed out. There is a pleasing atmosphere created by skilled artists, who have draped delicate colored silks and used flowers and design to lovely effect. Huge inverted parasols decked with flowers hang half open secreting the direct lights of the main hall. One may compare the values of coal shovels or one may successfully hunt for a treasure trunk lucked away in the attic. The garden, the use of lake or river, the furnishing of a home, care of the furnishings, and how people in the homes may live happily ever after is carefully considered by the exposition. Exhibitors who have novelties to show, exhibitors whose things would not be directly applicable to home have been denied space. And exhibitors who have space are instructive. The public generally doesn’t know the difference between reed, rattan and willow. Then the public has a chance to find out. That is only one instance of instruction in the show itself. What for many persons makes the show itself incidental is the programme for homemakers which gives a list of lectures every day. Monday was a fair sample. Beginning at 1:30 there was a motion picture showing coffee from plantation to cup, a lecture which told how to cut a grapefruit in three halves and how husbands should prepare fruit for the breakfast while his wife sleeps, on to first steps in home owning, how to choose land, points on the deal, views of attractive homes and a musicale. The speakers are the best. Most of the time they are not trades people. They have been appointed to lecture .or the benefit of men, women and children. The doctor has his say. The dietitian has hers. The woman who knows how best to use color tells what she knows. A round table for engaged girls and a round table for brides are expected to attract eager attention. Eleanor J. Sutherland, director of home makers’ meetings and herself a bride of six months, will lead the round table discussion. Always Mr. Campbell has beauty, the ideal in home life. The programme is comprehensive. It remembers even lather's relation to an ideal home, the relation of the teacher, the vacationing treat. Women, by far and away, formed the larger part of the attendance although, especially in the evening, many a young man has been dragged along by a young woman with the determined light of housewifery in her eyes. Among the several addresses was that delivered by James D. Henderson, of Henderson & Ross. His topic was "First Steps in Home Owning." He urged every young couple by all means to own their own homes and said that it is not a very difficult thing to do, despite the slender incomes of youth. "When you rent you buy the landlord’s house for him," he said. “Your money pays his taxes and takes care of the depreciation of the property. If you move, there is never a refund on all the money you have paid him. “If you own your own home, and have to sell it for any reason, you can get hack your initial payment with enough more to pay a profit on every penny you have put into it." On Friday, John Clair Minot, literary editor of the Boston Herald, will talk at a round table discussion on "What’s What Among the New Books." The New England Farm and Garden Association will have lectures each morning from 10 to 12.
