At the Bliou.

For His Sisters Honor pleased an- other very fair house at the Bijou thea tre last night. The play is a rural New England drama and is very effectively staged. The story is interesting and specialties introduced by members of the company serve to tighten the piece con siderably. One of the most effective scenes in the play shows boys and girls sliding down hill on their sleds. The picture Is typical of mid winter in New England and is strkingly pretty The company is up to the usual melodrama standard and the show is a good one at popular prices. The engagement will close with a matinee this afternoon and a per- formance tonight.

ON THE RACE TRACK
At New Orleans.

New Orleans, January 13. = Rain throughout the night made the track deep in mud and had it's effect on the size of the fields and the class of the starters. Four decided favorites, all of them well supported, were beaten, and in the other two events which made up the card there was no positive first choice in the betting. Sarah Maxim and Daisy Green and Mountebank and Lady Charlotte were equal favorites in their races. Po- seur scored very handily over John Peters, and Maie Hanlon and Mounte- bank both won their races with the greatest ease. Faernian should have won the last race for which he was favorite. Crowded out on the first turn, he ran much the longest journey. Sum maries:

In answer to the query, ''How old

don Chronicle prints an extract from
copy Of the local Herald of 1928:
cdr. Church is now at Birmingham
preparing his new printing machine.
The compositor has only to sit down
at this curious mechanism as he
would at pinoforte, and as he strikes
the keys the types all fall from the
case into their proper places with a
velocity that keeps pace with the most
rapid speaker. The form having been
worked off, the type moves into the
melting pot, from which it is returned,
recast into its original state, without
any dfminution Of material, and thence
distributed into the case quite new.
