See Two Speeding Rum Cars According to the police, they ob served two automobiles traveling in thertr direction at a high rate of speed. After throwing a strong search light on the automobile containing the policemen, the first of the two cars crashed into the police ma chine, overturning it. After the crash both cars disappeared. The police automobile was demolished. Minor injuries were suffered by three other persons in traffic acci dents reported to the police today. Woman Cui by Glass Mrs. M.

ELECTRIC RITE IS CUT The cut of a cent per kilowatt hour in the home con sumption electric light rate was authorized by the Publie Utilities Commission today. The new rate is 7 cents per kilowatt hour, as against 7Vs cents for the current year. Reductions will be noted in bills submitted by the Potomac Electric Power Company on and after January 1, The minimum saving to ths public will be 8352,000, according to Major W. E. R. Covell, Utilities Commis sion assistant to the Engineer Com missioner. The saving will be held to the minimum only on the condition that consumers fail to take advantage of all the possibilities of the reduc tion. A combination of schedules “B” and “H” for electricity used fori cooking, heating, battery charging I etc., for residential use was made into a new schedule —lettered “K”. Consumers are advised to study schedule “K” carefully as it pro vides for a rate of 7 cents per kilowatt hour for only ten hours and 3 cents for all hours there after. It is pointed out that electric current users for cooking, heating etc., will be greatly benefited by the new schedule. Users of more than one hundred and twenty kilowatt hours for lighting purposes only in residences will pay 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour. The minimum service charge is 75 cents per month. Cut for Business A cut of half a cent per kilowatt hour for commercial schedules is also noted. The new rate will be 7 cents per hour for the first thirty hours’ use and 4 cents per hour for elec tricity consumed in excess of thirty hours. Under commercial schedule "D,” consumers will pay 6% cents per kilowatt hour, a reduction of cent. It is pointed out that a change has been made in the minimum service charge for electric lights for commercial purposes from $lO5 per month to 75 cents per month. This provision will allow mer chants to have electricity In their stores without being forced to pay the previous minimum service charge. A slight reduction is noted in commercial schedule ”E.’ This schedule applies to larger amounts of electricity used for commercial purposes. The rates for the first twelve thousand kilowatt hours remain the same, but for the next thirteen hours reduction of' two-tenths of a cent is allowed. Some Did Not Profit Consumers using electricity un der commercial schedule ”F,” as applied to service for industrial mo tors and battery charging, did not profit under the new schedules. It was Indicated that the com mission wished to do away with this schedule in the hopes that con sumers would change over to sched ule “D.” Electricity for commercial heating, and cooking purposes only is rated at 7 cents, a reduction of half a cent per kilowatt hour for the first ten hours, and all consumed in ex cess thereof 3 cents per hour, a reduction of half a cent. Officials of the Public Utilities Commission said that they were trying to work out a scientific schedule with the help of the Po tomac Electric Power Company. Another Reduction Seen According to Major Covell, it is probable that a reduction will be made again next year, as under the new rate people will use more electricity than heretofore. The figures released today are the result of a joint conference be tween officials of the commission and of the electric company. Ap proximately 65,299 consumers of ’‘residential” electricity are af fected. WASHINGTWTIMES Entered as seconCelaM matter al Poetoffice at Washington, D. C.

Christmas Miracles for Good Fellows Has a GREAT CHRISTMAS MIRACLE ever happened in your life Not necessarily on December 25, but meaning as much to you as if it had happened on that same day over 1900 years aeo and to the people who lived on the world at that time? No doubt it has, but perhaps you’’ had never thought of it in just that way. Many of us can count dozens of things that have occurred for good in our lives, each one of which seemed equally as Important which meant just as much to us as the MIRACLE of MIRACLES that oc curred to the civilized world nine teen and a quarter centuries ago. For Instance —if you were a widowed mother with anywhere from three to nine children, and you were so far behind in your rent that the landlord was putting you out in the street today after a night like last nlybt and some kind person stepped up just as the last stick of furniture was beipg dlrf possessed and pa Id not only three months back rent but a couple of months ahead—wouldn’t you feel like a great .CHRISTMAS MIRACLE had happened to you? Many Such Miracles Well that very MIRACLE has been going on in Washington for the past three weeks and it hasn’t only happened once but it has hap pened several times—and other kinds of MIRACLES have happened too. Here are a few of them— An afflicted man who is trying to be both father and mother to a group of children who are all below the school age has seen his front door open and kind hands bring in baskets and of things to eat and things to wear. If these kind ha/ids hadn’t sought out that af flicted man there wouldn’t be a ray of Christmas sunshine in that house today. A woman who was not a widow, but who might just as well have been for all the help she wa» getting from her negligent hus band, was leaving her three chil dren with neighbors w’hlle she went out to earn a day’s living—at a laundry. They were living In a ramshackle building with a defec tive flue which was the cause of her home burning almost to the ground in her absence. Everything she had. which wasn’t much, was either ruined by fire or water. But she didn’t complain. She was glad the tiny lives she was trying to keity going hadn’t been destroyed and she looked her new misfortune in the face like the woman she was.

After the lights of the Washington Audi torium were dimmed an enthusiastic audience still clamored for more song-dramas of the great Chaliapin last evening when Peggy Albion presented the Russian basso in a concert for the benefit of the Wom en’s Overseas Service League. Seldom does the National CapitaT show such a Spirit. And Feodor Chaliapin, was la a most happy mood. He has a touch of the eter nal In does not matter that perhaps he over-dramatizes some songs as in the Schubert “Brook" of the Miller Songs. His great drama of Russia, in song, included an aria from Boro dine’s opera, "Prince Igor,” in which he was the consummate actor, using the- speaking-singing voice to rare effect, declaiming with astonishing command or making one -feel the lure of the waltz In the finale of this "Konchak’s Aria” that is beautiful music. Tears there are in the Russian soul as well as hoydenish laughter. And this pathos rang from the mighty basso “n a lovely song of Dargomishsky “I Grieve,” or in the Massenet "Elegy” that wept bit terly, not in the restrained mood of a sophisticated, even though more subtle; reading. His muse wandered from the ’•Demon” of Rubinstein, where he is Universal Gloom, to the comic drunken song of “The Miller” also by Dargomishsky, the gay dancing song of Moscow, where the bluff dancer whirls the girl quite out of breath —all these, though told In Russian, are so graphic, as drama, that one quite gets them without »he language. And what a seductive language the Russian is, for song! Chaliapin has that vivid art of portraying mood, much as have the Moscow Art Theater folks. It is quite indescribable. It bespeaks ♦his temperamental race. He will be a great artist when the voice is gone. Cavil as one will, that this voice is used for excessive dramatic effects, who is there to so tell us the legend of “Yermak” (it is "Num ber-r- 22”), or the “Song of the Flea,” or the slave cry in the "Song of the Volga Boatmen.” As the 1 Russians say, who adore this artist. “Ah, Chaliapin—” with a shrug of the shoulders and an outward gesture of the hands "is Chaliapin!” His very able accompanist, Max Rabinowitsch, was also heard in ilano solos of which the Borodin* “In the Convent" was the most forceful in interpretation.

The 1325,000,000 tax reduction MU, passed by the House in record time and by a record vote, went to the Senate today where it will not receive such speedy attention or respect as the House accorded ft. Numerous amendments are plan ned, and the most ■sanctmine sup porters do not expect it to emerge in final form from the Senate until early in March. It will be the aim, however, to get it through by March 16, the date on which returns are due for 1925 incomes. Charges By Foes Only twenty-five votes were cast against /the Mil in the House, as against the overwhelming total of 390 in its favor. The opposition was furnished by the Republican insurgents and a handful of Democrats, all of whom eontehded that it was "a rich man’s, tax bill" and did not give the I “little fellow" 'a proportionate cut. "Under this bill," said Congress- 1 man Rainey (Dem.) of Illinois, "only 114 taxpayers benefit by about ISO, 000,000, whereas 2,300,000 taxpayers l are benefitted about >lO apiece. Is that a fair tax bill." Rainey referred to the 50 per cent cut in the surtaxes on big in comes. In the Senate the bill goes to the! Finance Committee where the Demo- I crate plan numerous changes in itai present provisions. 1. S. WJTEB BILL IPPBGIED The District Commissioners have approved a bill Introduced in the House last week by Congressman R. Walton Moore, of Virginia, au thorising a connection of the water system of the District of Columbia with Arlington County, Virginia. The commissioners pointed out that it is only equitable that the same privileges be extended to Vir-! ginia as have been accorded the i State of Maryland where the water systems are already connected. The commissioners feel that, duo to the fact that the average dally consumption of water in the Dis trict of Columbia nearly equals the capacity of the aqueduct upon which the city depends, the District would not be under obligation to serve outside territory until the water supply has been increased. GIVEN 10 DAYS IN JAIL FOR MISDIRECTING TRAFFIC "Your honor, this man had traffic tied up for six blocks," Policeman F. J. White told Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Police Court today when William J. Muller appeared on a charge of intoxication. "What was he doing?" "Directing traffic, but he had his directions twisted." “Ten days. Maybe he’ll get straight next time." TROUSERS To Match Tour Odd Coats BEEMAN'S, 7th F l|uu H cklij trade for 1 Studebaker P t L.rr Durability I Was Environment Entirely Responsible For Four Suicides in Rogers Family? Some Scoff at Idea That Urge to End Life Was Inherited Students of heredity and par ticularly readers of The Washlhg ton Times who have Interested themselves In the debate over heredity and environmnt, in so far as either force Influences human lives, were given something to think about yesterday and todav When they read of the suicide of Mrs. Rosa Rogers, of Franconia, Fairfax county, Va., the fourth member of her family within three generations to end her life. The newspapers reported the in cident as having been, due to a suicidal mania; still you will find hundreds of deep thinkers and students of parental influences and heredity and whatever you wish to call it, who will deny that such a thing as "suicidal mania" exists and who will attach no importance to the above-mentioned case. v It is stated that the grand father of Mrs. Rogers died by his own hand, her father's end came by the same means, her brother took his own Ifii—and there. -you have the whole story in a brief paragraph. What Was Responsible? What do the proponents of the value of environment have to say about| this case where heredity seems to have dished out about the same fate to such closely related persons. Or do they argue that environment (the fact of witnessing or observing or having knowledge of the suicides which went before) had just as much to do with the subsequent acts of suicide as heredity? Under such circumstances it would certainly seem difficult to discount entirely either influence, but there is still an argument left as to which force, heredity or en vironment, worked stronger in bringing about such a coincidence. For several weeks The Washing ton Times has been awarding daily a copy of Harold Bell Wright’s novel, "A Son of His Father,” which is really a story about "heredity" for the best observations directed to the Heredity Editor on this subject.. It is not too late fbr you to earn this award, which, incidentally would make an excel lent Xmas gift for a friend or rela tive or for yourself, inasmuch as many people often do contemplate s6me sort of Christmas remem brance for themselves. 'Anacostia Man Wins The winner of this award today is N. Loftus Anderson, Route Ns. 3, Anacostia, -D. C., who says: "I care not into how many branches the mind sharps may di vide the question, one fact remains j crystal clear to the mature think i er, namely, that so called heredity, whether designated as prenatal, direct, reversional, collateral, or what not, is nothing but an imagl- nary peg upon which laziness, dis honesty, incompetency and indiffer ence would hang their soiled and tattered garments, So far as an invariable, or even general mode, of transmission of qualities, either good or bad, is concerned, the main theories of the advocates of the heredity side of the question are utterly fallacious. "This Is the age of disobedient parents and ’flapper’ offsprings, primarily because of the substitu tion of moral suasion for birch switches, because father is busy breeding blooded swine, and mother is in politics and ’so sigh a tea," and also because of the glorifica tion of muscle, of the omnipresent almighty physical at the expense of thinking mind and soaring soul— i and not because humanity COULD I not be different if it WOULD. "Mountain climbing, whether of body or mind, involves infinite toil, patience, persistence, and he who would travel fastest and farthest must needs use his own alpen stock, his own opinions and judg ments, if he would enjoy the air and the view at the top. "Abraham Lincoln went to the top, and Kip Rhinelander has gone to the bottom, not because of the transmission of qualities, either good or bad, in either case; but simply because Lincoln determined WITHIN to take the hard road up ward, while Kip decided to take the easy, downward, primrose path of fleshly non resistance; that is, in dulgence, which, while crowded, is the way that all weaklings, grovel ers and sycophants alike take to their common, inglorious end.

URGES BUYING OF LAND NOW FOR CITY SCHOOLS Because land is increasing in value as time goes on, S. E. Kramer, first assistant of schools, told the Takoma Home and School Association last night it is advisable to buy up property now for the five-year building program. Suburban property has been cut up into small lots and other de sirable sites have gone up in value just recently, he stated. “We should increase the provision for the pro gram on this account," he said. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, THESE CORONETS, each containing 1,000 diamonds, are valued at $4,000,000, while the emperor’s two chains of diamonds are held to be worth $4,500,000. There is also an Indian sapphire of 258 carats, valood at $11,000,000. In intrinsic value alone these Romanoff jewels are valued at $250,000,000 apart from any sentimental or historical value they may possess and the Soviet hopes they will bring that much. -—■l h II n ■omirnss i COIST W WOU LO Bill L 0 Waste of time, Government funds and effort, could be eliminated by housing the various branches of the Coast and Geodetic Survey ip one budding, It is pointed out by Director E. Lester Jones in his an- Yiual report. At present the activities of this department of the Government are distributed among eight buildings, only one of which was intended for the bureau. Constant Alteration Necessary. Constant minor alterations are necessary to keep the work of the bureau from falling behind and these are often both costly and un satisfactory, it Is explained. v In asking for a new. building, the report calls attention to the practical economy of such a pro gram, pointing out the possibility of grouping of similar classes of work which would facilitate the handling of material and save the time spent by the personnel In going from one building to another. Poor lighting now retards the work of highly trained experts en-_ gaged in technical work of a minute character. New Tenders Asked Three new tenders are requested by the bureau to aid in the work of the cutters on the Pacific Coast. Hydrographic. work is dangerous at best, it Is explained, as these boats must go to places where other ships have no business to go. Inventions of different instru ments to measure depth by sound are being highly developed and many are no longer in the experi mental stage. Some of these soon will be in service, but further hy drographic work is necessary first, the report states. BUSINESS MEN URGE REMOVAL OF “EYE SORE” The Northeast Business Men’s As sociation has announced its inten tion of pushing further, the request to have the comfort station at Fifteenth and H streets northeast removed. For five years the association has backed a move to have the station abolished characterizing it as an “eye-sore" and a "danger to traffic, control.” Practical assurance has been received by* the association from the Commissioners that H street northeast will be seriously considered amonr the next high ways on which automatic traffic lights will be installed.

Dec. 19.—Suit was filed in the Federal district court today by the law firm of Hirsch, Sherman and Nimburg,' against Jo seph Leiter,/ millionaire broker, of Chicago, who cornered the Npw York wheat market some years ago, asking $50,000 they allege ts due them as legal fees. The attorneys claim that airtount Is due for a defense they conducted for Leiter when he was sued for $1,500,000 by Joseph and Alfred H. Hoadley, his former partners in the International Power Companv. This firm collapsed, after which the Hoadleys sought to have Leiter pay them that amount. Leiter was suc cessful in contesting the suit. The law firm declares Leiter paid only $390 of the amount duo. They claim/the work on the defense voc cupied from 1920 to 1922.

’COOLIDGE FOE OF.SUFFRAK President Coolidge is in favor of limited local franchise for the Dis trict of Columbia which would per mit the election of the member? of the Board of Education. But the' President is inclined to look with disfavor upon any pro posal to give universal suffrage with direct administration of city affairs to local citizens. Thus the sentiments of the Presi dent In regard to suffrage in the District, as expressed at the White House yesterday, are revealed for the first time. In explanation of the President’s stand the White House spokesman yesterday declared that the Presi dent regards Washington essential ly as a Federal city in which every State has a personal interest. .Particularly, the President feels the necessity of keeping .the police I Pdwtr/of the seat of the Govern- L ment under .the control of the Fed- F eral Government, and as that pow er* constitutes such a large percent age of the activities of the local government President Coolidge con siders it impractical to attempt a division of municipal activities to permit control of non police ac tivities by the voters.

6 WASHINGTONIANS TO SAMPLE CHEER OF PLANTATION CHRISTMAS BARNETTS LAY PLANSFOR PARTY Are Moving Again; Mrs. Barnett to Visit Daugh ter in Europe _ By JEAN ELIOT WYITHO’S Where and Since When” TT has been suggested as the title of a volume which would be cxcedingly useful in Washington. But it would take a weekly publi cation to keep up with the move ments of Maj. Gen. and Mrs. George Barnett, who have occupied a half dozen different houses in what ap pears to be the least possible space of time. Now they are leaving the house at 1800 Nineteenth St., where they have been temporarily established for the early winter. Their imme diate objective is Wakefield Manor, their country home in Virginia, which they have kept qpen until now and where they will entertain a Christmas house party. After the holiday they will return to Washington and will be at the Brighton until January 12, when Mrs. Barnett Is leaving for Florida With a party of friends. They will be at Palm Beach for a month and Gen. Barnett will join them there after a business trip to North Caro lina. After this Florida visit, In turn, Mrs. Barnett will sail for Europe to spend a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Robert Dickey, Jr., who has taken the Villa. des Ac cacias, at Pau, for the season. The General will come back to Wash ington as he has business —real estate business —commitments which will keep him home. Picturesque Xmas Party The Barnett’s’ Christmas party at Wakefield will be one of the most picturesque of the holiday season, for they are planning a Christmas trfee. celebration for all the people on the plantation. A giant tree, tinsel decked and brilliantly lighted, will be erected on the Uwn and on Christmas eve gifts of clothing, foodstuffs, etc., with quantities of toys for the children, will be dis tributed. General Barnett has nom inated himself for the role of Santa Claus and has spent the last few weeks scouring Washington for suitable gifts. Several members of Mrs. Barnett’s family will be included in the house party at Wakefield, including her mother, Mrs. Montague, her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. C. Phillips Hill, and their children. And other guests have been asked for the shooting during the holidays. That Housing Situation The house in which General and Mrs. Barnett have been living—a rented house —will be occupied this winter by Mrs. Reginald Huide koper’s mother, Mrs. duPont, of Wilmington. Captain and Mrs. Adolphus Andrews have the resi dence at 1622 Rhode Island Ave., which Mrs. Barnett .remodeled so successfully a year or two ago and where she and the general were established last winter. The house In Bancroft Pl*-—2132 is the num ber—which also belongs to the Barnetts, is leased unfurnished. So that’s that—to straighten out a situation which has caused con siderable confusion among the friends of General and Mrs. Bar nett in Washington, who are legion.

Rock Named from Warning Bell BELL KOCK, known also as Inchcape Rock, in the North Sea, off the coast of Scotland, is so named from the bell set thereon by the Abbot of Aberbrothhock, to warn sailors of the nearness of danger. LOVE BOUND A _ “Every Man Is in Love With His Sten- His Stenographer Is in Love With Him,” Says a Student of Human Nature. •CTTELL, I wonder if you’d go V» home with me tonight and read to my mother for. an hour or So, if you’re not too tired. You know she’s an invalid, don't yju? And I’ve toiq her what a lovely yoice you have. You’ll some, won’t you?” "I haven’t a lovely voice, but I’ll come Mary Rose began eagerly, and then stopped. All the eagerness and joy died out of her face, as something that Flossie had said to her a few days- before flashed across her brain lijce a sub-title across a movie screen. "I suppose you have’nt been doing your best to get John Man nets away from that Hinig girl, hmm?” Flossie had asked. “I’ve seen you simpering around him!” Mary Rose dropped her eyes. Her finger moved along the edge of her desk, as if she had meas ured her words for her-answer/ “You see, Miss Hinig ,usually comes over to read to Mother a couple of times a wpek,” John Manners went on as Jf he could read her thoughts. “But she’s been visiting in New York for ten days and Mother misses her. They’ve been reading ’Anna Kare nina’ together." That settled it for Mary Rose. If she were only going to take •_ Doris Hlnlg’s place in her ab sence, what harm' could there bi In going to John 'Manners’ house to read to his mother? Her smile flashed up at him. “I’ll be ready in a jiffy. Just wait ’til I put my hat on Down in the washroom Flossie Was getting-ready to go home. Festival Air "Let me borrow some -of your powder," Mary Rose said breath- lessly. i “I’m going over to Mr. house to read to his mother, and I mustn’t have a shiny nose- She laughed excitedly. Flossie’s eyes widened until they seemed twice their natural size. “Well, aren’t you getting to be the village vamp?” she asked with shrill surprise. “Going to meet Mother ,’|ow,»hmm First thing we know* you’ll be having .•Mrs? on your calling cards— ’Mrs. John Manners,* eh wot?” Mary Rose squelched her with a look. “Please tell Mumsie that I’ll be a little late. Maybe she’ll leave my supper in the hot closet*?” she called as she ran upstairs. Manners was sitting on her desk waiting for her. When they reached his litge house in K St., it had an air of festival about it. The shades were drawn and they gleamed golden with the lights behind them. “Mother knows you’re coming," he said, as his car swung into the wet gravel of the driveway, between dripping hedges of bridal wreath. Inside, the house seemed to smile a welcome. There were orange nasturtiums in a bowl on the hall table and candles flick ered on the old marble mantel in the living room. More candles gleamed through the thin silk curtains that covered the glass doors of the dining room. A fat, rosy woman in gray linen and white apron opened the door. "Mrs. Rundle, I want you to meet Miss Middleton,” John Man ners said. "Mrs. Bundle is the world’s best cook. She keeps mother and me so comfortable that we feel as if “Go along with you, Mr. John! You and your nonsense!” Mrs. Bundle interrupted. She seemed vastly pleased, however, and smiled at Mary Rose as if she were letting her in some delicious joke. “Miss Middleton is going to stay for dinner, Mrs. Bundle,” John went on, "so I hope that potluck tonight is roast chicken at least.” "Roast lamb,” said Mrs. Bundle, “with that mint jelly “I can’t stay for dinner Mary Rose faltered. "I must go home "You are going to stay for din ner,” John answered firmly. He took her arm and guided her over to the broad old-fashioned stair case. “But right now, you’re going up to meet my mother/* he said. “I've wanted you to know her for a long time." CHAPTER XXV Mary Rose was not prepared for John Manners’ mother. When he had said she was an invalid, Mary Rose at once pic tured a sweet-faced sufferer, propped up against the lace pil lows of her bed. But the fine-looking, dark-eyed woman who greeted her cheerfully as she came into the room was sitting bolt upright in an arm chair of flowered chintz as if it were a throne. In one of her hands she held a cane, and that was the only sign of helplessness about her. “My dear,” she said, taking Mary Rose’s hand in the friend liest way, "it is very kind of you to come to see an old lady.” And she crinkled up her eyes and laughed and Mary Rose laughed with her. For in spite of her helplessness, John's mother was not an old lady at all. Neither paralysis nor suffering had robbed her of her young smile and her air of being Vigor oualy hlive. Mary Rose had loved her before •he saw her, simply because she VU John Manners’ mother, and Read This First FLOSSIE Md MARYROBE MIDDLETON «re two pretty sisters, the daughters of a widowed mother. Both'of them work for the Dexter Automo bile Company. Mary Rose is secretary to the sales manager, JOHN MANNERS, and to in love with him, although the office gossips say he’s engaged to a girl of wealth, DORIS HINIG. Because of her feeling for him, Mary Rose refuses a repeated offer of marriage from DR. TOM FITZROY, who has long been in love with her. Flossie, who is a born flirt, keeps the office files under MISS MACFARLANE. She Is enraged to SAM JESSUP, a mild young man who is secre tary to the bead of the com pany, HILARY DEXTER. Mary Rose discovers* that she is carrying on a flirtation with Dexter, who’s married and the bead of a family. One day when Mbs MacFar lane complains to Dexter* of Flossie’s lasineM be takes the girl’s part. And Miss MacFar lane angrily leaves the Job she’s held for fifteen years. Dexter makes Flosise head of the department. p One day, Mary Rose finds her sister in Dexter’s arms. When she scolds Flossie about it. Flossie betrays no shame, and simply says It’s not her fault that men like her! She accuses Mary Rose of trying to “vamp” John Man ners, and Mary Rose barely speaks to Manners for days. (Now Go on With the Story) now she loved her because she was herself. Proud and' unbeaten. j Pleasure “I loved to come, 'Mrs. Man ners,” she said truthfully. She wondered if either of them, the mother or the son, knew what mixed pleasure and pain she felt, as she stood there before them with their kind eyes on her. “Johnny said you have a lovely voice and you have,” .the ..older woman surprised her by saying suddenly, and Mary Rose blushed. Johnny. So that was what his mother called him. Such a nice name, too, and how well it fitted him. Straight forward and honest and friendly, like himself.

By means of a small spoon scoop out a certain number of balls of gourd pulp. Use one-half a pound of sugar for every half pound' of the pulp. Put the balls into a porcelain receptacle, first a layer of the pulp, then one of sugar and then thin slices of orange /find, using one whole orange for every two pounds of the gourd. Then next morning put the syrup and the orange into a basin and boil for five or six minutes. Remove the rind and put in the gourds. Let all cook until the mixture is smooth and a little thick. Have ready the juice pressed from the oranges and four or five minbtes before the cooking is finished add to the jam and put into small jars.

The all-over beaded frock, how ever, has given* way somewhat to semi-beading/ If, for instance, the skirt is embroidered, the bodice is unornamented or often the frock has the effect of a jumper of an elaborate type with the bodice embroidered to a point below the hips while the skirt Is left plain. Beaded aprons are very popular, the apron being embroidered in beads or a design of metal threads while the rest of the dress is left unornamented. Fine beads in all colors are em ployed in various new designs. Annltte Mills, the popular danc er that is making a big stir in Paris- these days, is wearing a delightful gown in silver lame embroidered with stones. Another of her gowns is in pale green shif fon with the sktyt edged with wide points of silver lame. A pearl and brilliant embroidered spray comes from the skirt to the neck line and the effect is like that of water catching the lights and scintillating with every movement. A charming gold lace evening frock comes with old beads out lining the flowered design in the lace made with a circular skirt and the severe lines of the bodice broken by shoulder drapery The Marquise de Fuente Hermosa is wearing a very chic beaded model with pearls almost covering the black velvet skirt and wide girdle.

She carried a tray. “Dinners’ ready downstairs,” she said, beaming at Mary Rom, as she Mt it down on a table at Mrs. Manners* elbow, “and Mr. Johnny’s waiting for you, I think.” J He was. He stood at the bot tom of the long, carpeted flight, watching her as she came slowly down. And under the look that she saw in his eyes, a soft flame of joy flashed into her face. It was a look that welcomed her, enfolded her—or did she just imagine it? She couldn't be sure. As she sat down at thfe table, opposite him, a moment later, she wondered if the whole thing were a sort of day dream, or if it real ly were happening. Could she really be sitting here, in the pool of light made by the tall candles, with the man the loved, in his own house?

She went to the sideboard drawer for the carving knife and fork, and when She laid them down before John Manneri, she laid a yel low envelope on the cloth, too. “There’s a telegram, came for you a while ago,” she said. “I clear forgot It ’til) this minute, Mr. Johnny. But ’tie from Miss Hinig, I’vfc no doubt at all.” From something in her tone, Mary Rose knew that Mrs. Bundle did hpt like Doris Hinig.

For weeks I've been promising myself that—if you'll go. Witt you—sometime, soon?” He looked up at her and she nodded, dumbly. At that moment she would have said, “Yes,” if he had asked' her to ride with him to the moon. She had forgotten Doris Hinig. She had forgotten everything that lay outside the pool of light from the tall flickering candles. It was a little world that closed them in—just the two of them herself and John Manners.

In Nearly Every Little Place Where Rich Go to Relax, There la Some Local Favorite They Look Forward to Seeing on Each Visit By Fay King Old Manio, the fiddler, bf way, Me., who has just returned from a visit to his friend Henry Ford at Dearborn, Is only one of countless quaint local characters who number millionaires among their friends. In nearly every little place where the rich go to relax in hunting, fishing, and camping, there is some local favorite they look forward to Meing on each visit, and with whom they spend many happy hours. To them he Is old Joe the jig ger, or Pete the painter, or Spike the hiker, or Mike the champion fisher, and shooter. They love him for his songs, his philosophy, his imitations, or his ability te flop flapjacks. And-to their quaint friend they are not the formal powerful peo ple the world knows but just Jim or Fred or Charlie! They hike up to his cabin and relish the rasher bacon he se«t before them.. And if “Old Pete" don’t feel like entertaining his dis tinguished guests that morning he growls at them through the door and doesn’t open it! And they come back next day doubly happy at "the hearty welcome they get and no excuMs. There is. no fawning, and salaaming here! Mellie wouldn’t give his freedom and fiddle for all Ford’s factories and responsibilities! Old Pete “the hermit,*’ wouldn’t leave the seclusion of his mountain cabin for the finest mansion in the world! The very independence and pride these quaint old characters feel in their humble station of life I makes them on an equal footing with their millionaire friends. There is nothing the other has that the other wants but friend ship, and in this rating they are listed side by side! They are both shrewd! The rich man sees through the cunning climber who, flatters and crawls to him, and the “Old Pete" and “Old Mellies” see through the people who in reality ridicule them. And so a fast and lasting friendship springs up between the man of wealth and the honest old character, who meet and sincerely like each other!

I C -x 4 i j I JACKIE COOGAN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1925 PRINCETON LADS FROLIC HERE TONIGHT If you missed'Burton Holmes /and his travel pictures you still have ft chance to imbibe some pre-war Venetian atmosphere to night at the Auditorium. The Princeton Triangle Club, which brings its annual musical comedy to Washington has taken Venice as its background for the current offering, added some colorful costumes, soft barcarole music, a strong vein of humor and, just to be ups to date, a dash of Charleston and turned out what is perhaps its best produc tion since the club, was formed thirty odd years ago by Booth Tarkington, The Princeton is unique in college plays, in as much as, contrary to all other college shows, the entire show Is the work of undergraduates, the scenery, costuming, book, lyrics and music. The Ohly departure yas the importing', of Ned Way burn, famous Follies tutor, to put the finishing touches on the dance numbers. And the advance reports claim that it is some dancing. It should be. For "Jake” Slagle, who danced 1 eighty some yards through the Yale team-last 1 fall, and put himself in several all-American football lists, leads the Charleston numbers. “Bo” Me- -Millan, captain of the Tiger team, this fall, and fifteen other varsity letter men from the Nassau campus are also in the cast, which includes several local boys. IT S MANNERLY, NEAT AND NIFTY Simplicity, according to Don ald Brian, is one of the outstand ing reasons for the tremendous success of “No, No, the world famed musical comedy at the National again next week. “Good manners are most fre quently simple manners.” says Mr. Brian, “and ‘No. No, Nanette’ is simple, understandable and mannerly. Its beauty is found in its simplicity, its total lack of vulgarity and overdisplay. “Never in all my experience," declares the' star, “have I* known a musical play to compare with Too n\any artificial ingredients are thrown into the great majority of musical come dies.

A group of bright Baltimore entertainers will he featured on "Vaudeville Night,” with singing and dancing of the jazz and com- edy order much in evidence. Double and single "Charlestons” will be a stressed feature, also wailing “blues” 'right from the Harlem district of Now’ York. Mayflower Holiday Christmas and New Year “doings” at the’ Mayflower will represent the most elaborate en tertainment effort ever staged by the big hostelry. The Mayflower Gardens, Presidential room and the grand ballroom will all be the scenes of holiday merryfnaking. with star Or •hestras providing dance melodies, i On New Year Eve visiting theatrical companies hero vlll he. ’he guest of honor at the May- i flower New Year party.

They will do their stuff mornings, noons and between per i formances for the unfortunate ones who are denied freedom. The National Vaudeville Artists, now with new headquarters in Chicago and Los Angeles, in ad dition to the “mother house” in New York, extends both its Christ mas benefactions and its perma nent fraternal help to members of its own branch of the* profession and to all other needy artists of the aipusement world. This ganization has bought a tract at’ Saranac Lake .for,, an enlarged ■sanitarium for it* ailing, aged' and incapacitated members. Th* Vaudeville Managers Protective Association is co-operating with f all these seasonal arid permanent fraternal practices. The social and professional life of the vaudeville artist has been wholly transformed, humanized, exalted and made happier by the changed conditions which confront him in the theaters and towns he visits. The managers, attaches arid stage' hands meet him nbw t -as a welcome guest. No more is he looked, upon as a vagrant stranger. His dressing roorq is modern and even- luxurious;* his baggage is looked after;'his wants (even whims), are consulted and gratified, and he is made welcome in a hundred ways never dreamed of in the early days of vaudeville. Much has been written about the palatial perfections of the ar tists* accomodations in the model new theaters built and being built by E. F. Albee; of the mechanical and artistic devices which he has placed at the disposal- of the ar tists; of the new attitude of hos vpitality, fraternity and co-opera tion established between managers, artists and all of the factors of vaudeville.' These are.all physical evidences of progress. New Costume Crandall’s Metropolitan Theater blossomed forth this week, pre paratory to the Christmas Yule- tide observances, in its rich wine. colored velour draperies and pros cenium hangings which supplant ed the tall hangings of canary baronet satin.

Probably the mechanics of cinema fun have never asserted themselves very forcefully, and it may, therefore, be doubly inter esting to know how one of the most famous of the flicker fun makers feels toward |}is profession. Ford Sterling, the famous char acter comedian, always has inter esting opinions on the problems of obtaining good effects. “A man can trip over a step and fall out of a window,” said Mr. Sterling, “and his antics will cause many people in the audi ence to laugh heartily. And then again, a comedian may change the expression of his face—and the result will be the same. There are two different fields of comedy, of course, but certainly the come dian who can achieve effects wlth especially for the Yuletide season. Pathe News. Topics, and orches tra and organ.

You may miss the blood hoods and the ice scene that were in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” yr the whipping post, but there are lots of things in the show that were not in the book l and first of all, the Duncan sisters. Besides the Duncan Sisters, there are the London Palace The ater Girls, ten Hthelimbed girls_. as expertly drilled as a football eleven, who dance with precise gyration and Tiller speed. There is, too, the charming prima don na, Helen 'Reed, and Edmund Fitzpatrick, as Uncle Tom, to offer bass solos. Other important play ers are Isabelle Mohr, Antoinette Boots, Vernon Rickard, Myrtle Ferguson. Bert Keyes, Al Sands, Dan Brennen. William C. Gor don. Marguerite Bell, Jessie Bell and a beauty chorus of real sing ing voices.
