Easy Way For Opening
That Stubborn Drawer

How many times do we hear: "Oh, ]
wonder what can do for this stubborn
drawer"
1t might be either at the bureau or
the buffet, at the desk or at the kitchen
cabinet, yet the person who makes the
impatient exclamation is generally the
one who forgets II the next minute, only
to make the same comment on the very
next occasion that she might have ia
open the same drawer.
A little of the common yellow SOAP
rubbed along the grooves on which the
drawer slides and on the edges of the
drawer itself would eliminate all this
trouble, and you could draw out the UNI
yielding drawer with perfect ease.
This Is q matter that could be attend
ed to at house-cleaning time and forgot
ten till the succeeding housekeeping.
But start now.

Can you tell me some of the famous actors
and actresses who commenced when they
were children, and what the general opin-
ion is of children in the theater? Very truly
MOTHER.
The list OF famous, or at least sue
cessful, actors and actresses who began
as children is practically endless.
Maude Adams was carried on the stage
by her mother. Mrs. Fiske and Sarah
Rernhardt were child actresses. David
Relasco made his first stage appearance
in the arms of Julia Dean Hayne.
William Collier and Julia Marlowe were
contemporaries in juvenile comic opera.
Nav Irwin began her funmaking at
twelve years of age. Annie Russell be-
gan her travels with her small brother,
Tommy, as one of the Fauntleroys.
Edith Taliaferro began her stage career
at two years OF age. Ethel Barrymore,
James K. Hackett, Mabel Tahaferro
i. II. Sothern, David Warheld, and
score of others whom l cannot now
recall were child actors. Ellen Terry
was a stage baby before she became
stage queen. AS for the general opinion
regarding children on the theater, 1t is
a subject so large and upon which there
is such diversity of opinion that 1t
would take more space than is at COM
mand to discuss the subject intelli-
gently.

Times inquiry Department.:
Kindly inform me who St. Patrick was?
Respectfully, H. l. ].
st. Patrick, known as the patron saint
of ireland, was born near Dunbarton,
Scotland, about 1896. and died about 1853.
His acceptance as a saint has been
through popular tradition only, as he
was never canonized by Rome. He or
ganized 1865 churches in Ireland, planting
a school by the side of each of these
churches. He organized one arch-Epis-
Copal See, consecrated two bishops, and
established one or two colleges in Ire
land. He was the first to use the sham
rock as a symbol of the Trinity, and
legend exists that he drove the snakes
out of Ireland.

Unless the hat is very much soiled

gasolene, APPLIED with a soft cloth or a

use gasolene near a light or in room
