LISTING GIRL
 IS A FEATURE
Paul Gilmore, Who Is to Be Seen ! Here In ssThe Boys of Company
 B,- Offers a Real Novelty In Stage Characterization This Year.

The lisping girl ill Paul Gilmore's play, 'The Boys of Company B. IS one of the features Of the production. Her name is Madge Blake. She is the cousin Ga country cousin of the heroine, Eileen MacLane, but she has the advantage of two years stay ln Europe and returns with frocks that are dreams and with the graces of one used to the best of European high life. To top off everything else, Madge Blake is dreadful fllrt. ana when Toney Allen, the handsome cap tain of the New York Grays, proposes to kiss her ''to see how 1t seems to kiss a girl with lisp.' she IS not whit backward but stands on her own tiptoes to reach his proffered lips. The entire camp has been at the feet of the little beauty and no one else could blame Tony for his couriosity, but unfortunately for his true love, Eileen, comes upon the scene in the midst of the kissing epl- sode and her couriosity is not strain ed in the same direction. How the kisses gets the kisse1 out of the scrape is one of the clever bits Of the play. "The Boys of Company 5,
 with Paul Gilmore as the handsome kissing captain, will be at the Eiks
 Theatre on January 5.

way for younger blood. This in effect
Is the intimation which has been sent

weather bureau field service by Chief
Willis L. Moore.

service is passed. Young men of vigor
and snap are being pushed to the front
to fill their places. Men who have
reached the age above indicated will
not be let out of the service. but will
take less important stations.
Striking illustrations of the fact that
this Is to become the settled policy of

Cincinnati and Nashville. all Of which
posts have been filled by men whose
ages are between 60 arS: 10 years, but
which from now ON are to be occupied
