these scrubs have gone back to college
and turned out freshman teams that
have been able to fight the varsity to

very coaches who taught them. There
have been instances Of this at near

Sometimes the services OF these eX-
scrubs have been eagerly sought by the
veteran varsity coaches. and many a

Audubon and His Hair.

in his career wore his hair very long.
He wrote in his diary one day: II
wear my hair as long as usual. 1 be-
lieve 1t does as much for me as my
paintings" However, In 1927 his
friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 Of that
year he wrote In his diary: "This day
my hair sacrificed and the will Of God
usurped by the wishes Of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me OF the horrible times Of
the French revolution when the same
operation was performed upon all the
victims murdered by the guillotine. My
heart sank low" Further to express
his grief. the margin Of the page on
which this entry was made he painted

"THE ROUNDUP"

A production which, for various
reasons, ought to make a special
appeal to Spokane audiences, will
be seen at the Auditorium COM
mencing Sunday night, when THE
Roundup" will be presented for the
first time in this city. "The
Roundup" has been one OF the
genuine successes Of the past sea-
son in New York, and the charac-
ter of the concentrations given it
have been impressive. The play
has been called a melodrama, but
it is said that the authors have
shown that big, thrilling melodrama
need not be marred by pseudo
heroics and patent sentiment. Thus,
there are indications that the play
as a play will merit the patronage
of local thsatergoers. There are
other reasons why the engage
ment should be out of the ordi-
nary. Heading the big company
which has been appearing in THE
Roundup" since the original New
York production was made, is Mac
Ign Arbuckle, a player who has
won a most generous measure OF
success. p,

GIRL LEADS STRIKERS IN
FIGHT AGAINST BIG TRUST

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 21.-
One girl, and not very big girl at
that, accomplished what Wall
street, the legislature and govern
ment investigators failed to do,
when she forced the American To-
bacco Co. to shut two immense
stemmeries and practically close a
plug tobacco factory.
Ahis girl is Lulu Spaulding, "the
gn1 in blue" who led the striking
steamers Of Louisville. She beat
the trust to a standstill and landed
a blow at the financial center of
the big concern.
June Is law imposing tax
of 2 cents per pound on the manu-
facture of plug tobacco becomes
effective. The trust bent every ef-
fort to manufacture as many plugs
as possible before June IS, but the
strike has blasted this hope. Not
nNeny plugs are being made.
Lulu Spaulding lives with her
mother and sister-in-law, in
West Louisville alley home. The
women have worked for years in
TIC otCiuHicfy. MISS opduiuluS, d
frail, delicate girl Of 81, plain and
unassuming, has a chin that de-
notes firmness and determination.
Miss Spaulding sees victory for
the cause she has championed. She
Is the leader of $500 striking men,
women and children, arrayed
against the might of great trust
with millions behind it.
Like a Joan dare she has led

carrying on her work uncounseled.
For IL years she worked in the
stemmery, being forced to leave
school to help support the family
When she went to the plant
Lulu Spalding was red-cheeked,
healthy child. Today her face
shows the mark of the Justified
rooms and her frame is no longer
robust. The tobacco trust has
taken its toll.
She says the strikers will win
because they represent right. "All
