Baby Mine" Star Would Be
Happy if She Could Get
Clothes to Fit Her.

There are a good many actresses who
have attained success through the good
fortune of stature-either large or
small-which will fit into parts most
suitable to them otherwise. Most of
them, therefore. are extremely grateful
that they were endowed either with
corpulence or were just low and slim,
whichever the case might be.
But there is no gratitude in the heart
of little Miss Marjorie Cortland, who
will be seen at the Lyric theater next
week In the leading feminine role IN
Baby Nine" due TO the fact that she
grew up small and dainty.
No sir-e-e. Miss Cortland says it
NAV be all right for Billie Burke to be
small. or Trixie Friganza to be overly
large and for both Of them to be

them.

Game Warden Sets Trap for Boastful Mmrods
TO BARE HUNTERS YARNS

Game Warden Jesse Mercer has ap-
pointed himself committee of one on
credentials to membership in the
Sportsmen's Anamas Club of Georgia,
and proposes to sit continuously for the
transaction of business from September
to April Of each year he is on the job
"wardening."
Incidentally, Warden Mercer hopes to
enforce the game laws Of Georgia more
rigidly and more surely than they have
been enforced heretofore
Mr.. Mercer has conceived notion
that the game laws of Georgia are well
and wisely fashioned Besides, he swore
mighty oath when indicted into office
that lie would see that those laws were
carried out, and he now says he never
meant carried out into some vast Wild
erness and forgotten, moreover! Far
be it from such!
Pleads He Was Only Cunning"
Recently Mercer read where a GER
tain Georgia nimrod had slaughtered
113 quail all in one day, and then added
insult to injury by having himself pho

seasons champion quail shooter.
When Mercer called this mighty
hunter to account and reminded him
that no man is allowed to kill more
than % quail per day said hunter wilt
ed, came down off his high horse, and
acknowledged that he had prevaricated
outrageously, and was "only funning,
anyway"
''Hum-m-, said Mercer. Better not
be so funny hereafter-might get you
in Jail for seventeen or thirty days!"
Nimrod promised by the memory OF
ali his honorable ancestors never again
to get 'funny'-not with Warden Mer-
GER at least
Mercer Gets an Idea.
But the circumstance gave Mercer an
idea. He then and there resolved to or
ganize a nice little hunters liars club,
and he elected this quail shooter FIX

Discussing his club today, Mr. Mercer
said:

performance in south Georgia. con-

his back, claims to have shot day or

Democratic Candidate Ad-
dresses SpotsWood Meeting.
special TO the EVENING NEWs.

Spotswood, Sept. 20:-Another
rousing meeting was held here last
night by the Wilson and Marshall
Democratic Club of Spotswood. Six
ty members and a number of out-of-
town guests were present to hear q
we'll delivered address by Attorney
George l.. Burton, of New Bruns-
wick, who Is a candidate for assem-
bly, on the Democratic ticket. 1t
was the first campaign speech ever
made by Mr.. Burton, who is a young
barrister just entering into active
politics.
Mr.. Burton had q word of praise
for every candidate on the Democra-
tic ticket. nation, state and county,
save himself. He dwelt on the fight
for the United States senatorial nom
nation in the Democratic ranks and
urged every voter present to support
the progressive and Wilson candi-
date, Judge William Hughes, of
Paterson. The sentiment of the
club is for Mr.. Hughes, as the walls
of the organizations headquarters,
where last nights meeting was held,
are decorated with pictures Of the
former Paterson congressman. Mr..
Burton drove to Spotswood In his
new Ford touring car, which he pro-
poses to use to advantage during his
personal campaign through the coun-
ty during October.
Another change was made In the
banner proposition as many mem
bers believe that a huge banner,
bearing pictures of Wilson and Mar
shall, can be secured without a seri-
Gus drain upon the clubs resources.
Therefore a new committee, consist
ing of William S. Sawyer and Nelson
E. Jolly, was appointed to solicit
funds and purchase such a demon
stration feature if possible. Already
the following pledges have been re-
ceiyed: Frank H. Vliet, $40; Will
liam S. Sawyer, SIS; A Friend, $40.
With the $25 now pledged the COM
mittee will work to solicit an addi-
tional s25 and purchase a banner
costing about $50.
