 But suppose you were in a minor company and had to play one-night stands, travel on poor trains. get turn ed away from hotel after hotel because of marrow minded prejudice against stage folk, and, to cap the climax dress in a. dirty little dressing room and play to an audience that eats pea nuts, steadily, crunchingly, madden ingly right through the most thrilling scenes This is no fancy picture-but the real experiences of a young act ress as told in the November Woman's Home Companion. It's worth while reading, just for the story it tells of the conditions in theatres, the smaller theatres. all over the United States, and it's a true story of the stage of today.

He said he was not begging but he was trying to impress upon them that if they let nothing stand between them and their rightful service.

Fake Report About
 Mt. Gurugu Capture
fspecial from United Press.) }

London, Oct. 25.-The announcement by the Spanish government that the army under General Marina in Mor- occo had captured Mount Gurugu early in September is today branded as a fake by the correspondent of the Lon don Times with the Spanish army in camp Naidor.
 The Times correspondent says the Spaniards under Marina reached two sunrnits in the low hills on each side of Mt. Gurugu but were forced to re- tire. It is obvious General Marina has given up hope of taking. Mt. Gurugu by assault, but now plans to conquer the tribesmen entrenched there by in vestment.
 The fake was. undoubtedly made to offset the storm of displeasure in Spain and the threatened upris:ng.

FORCE VICE TRUST
 AGAINST TAMMANY
Especial from United Press,)

s Special from United Press.)
 New York, Oct. 25-When Tammany Hall, through Leader Charles F. Mur- phy, passed the responsibility for the existence of a "viceA trust" to the dis trict attorneys office which has not been under Tammany control since Former Governor Odel removed Asa Bird Gardner from office some ten years ago. the reforrners who are re- sponsible for charges declared that it shows Tammany is already feeling the effect and they are to-day renewing them with vigor. z
 Tammany's defense is very weak, declare the Barnard and Hearst fol- lowing. With the exception of the short time Seth Low was in off1ce, when General Francis Vinton Green was police commissioner and for the last year that Bingham was commits sioner. Tamnaany has controlled the police. It is the police and not the district attorney. the opponents of Tammany say, who allow conditions to exist under which a five trust" can operate.
 tors have been instructed to keep pounding on the alleged connection De- tween Tammany and vice in all of the outlying boroughs from now until election day.
 All of the candidates to-day resumed their efforts to stir up the voters and will speak from three to fifteen times daily during the remainder of this week. Every effort is to be made to arouse the voters but, while every campaign manager professes to feel confident, none are certain when close ly pressed Tammany looks for vic- tory so far as the election of Gaynor is concerned and expects to carry New York and Queens Counties sure. To offset the cry of the t'vice syndicate" the Tammahy orators are to-day in- sisting that the entire Tammany ticket must be elected or the city will not get the sllbways which are so badly needed. This cry is being denied by the Fusionists who insist that they favor plenty of subways and this single issue aside from present issues nnax eventually decide the campaign.

 When a grease or dirt spot is to be removed from cloth or silk, first make circle of wood alcohol around it. then clean with gasoline or soap and water. Alcohol will not cause the cloth to fade and will prevent the after stain which is almost as objectionable as the dirt Or grease.
