But 1t was when members of the
band we're represented as walking IN

baked AS the bandits were about
some such diverting escapade. most
of the time, the censor was kept busy
telling the operator just which scenes
must not be erhibited.
The news of this censorious activ-
ity got around and of course the house
was packed the night for the first
public exhibition of the film. Expec-
tation became more intense as the
spectators beheld the bandits prepar-
ing to do something real blood-and-
thundery.
But just at critical moment when.
Jesse James himself was peeping over
his revolvers muzzle in an effort to
find a satisfactory spot for his bullet
in a Kansas patriots torso, something
happened. A cloud obscured the film
and by the time it had passed the
dark and dastardly deed had been
done.
When a similar thing happened as
Cole Younger was about to make a

Scissors Case.

A pretty scissors case can be made
by cutting two triangular pieces OF
cardboard a little larger than the size
of the scissors they are to cover, and
a small triangular shaped piece to
serve a flap to the case.
Cover all with silk, satin or any
fancy piece of material, turning in the
edges and whipping the silk on the
boards. Now sew the longest edges
of the board together and the flap to
the short edge of one board. Sew a
pretty cord, gilt II possible, all the
way around the edge of the case and
fasten the flap down with small bow
or ribbon or a fancy button. This
would make a dainty and useful holi
day gift if fitted with a good pair O.
scissors.

HOPES TO GET SHIP
SUBSIDY ENACTED
Representative Weeks Be-
Iieves He Will Get Out
Favorable Report.

Representative Weeks, chairman OF
the House COMMITTEE on Postoffices
and Postr0ads, is now of the opinion
that he will be able to favorably report
the Gallinger ship subsidy bill out and
maybe get it through the House.
Last week this legislation looked hope
less. A number of the committeeman
were sick and it seemed impossible for
the chairman to get a meeting of
enough friends of the measure to re-
port favorably the Gallinger bill, even
though it should be amended to meet
some of the House objections.
Today, however, the Massachusetts
Congressman believes that before the
week is over mis- bill will be on the
House calendar, and, If a rule can be
brought in giving it a place, he thinks
there is some chance Of passing 1t.
