MOVING PICTURE LEAGUE.

Dayton. Ohio. July L-One Of the great
est and most enthusiastic gatherings
that this part of Ohio has ever known
was held yesterday in Memorial Hall
when the annual convention OF the Mo-
ton Picture League opened with more
than $50 visitors from all sections OF
the country. The Official ceremonies were
opened by Mayor Shroyer, who welcomed
the movie men to the city. He was
answered by President Neff. who
fhanked the mayor and then outlined
some Of the advantages which he ex-
pected the sessions Of the convention
to bring about.
Among other things President Neff out
lined a part of the fight which he is
anxious for the film folk TO make against
the censorship proposition Several mem
bers OF the association said tonight
however, that It is not likely that this
matter will be aced upon by the or
ganization.
Among some Of the exhibits which at
tracted unusual attention were the oil
paintings displayed by the Famous Play
ers. the colored groundglass portraits Of
the Selig Company. and the Essanay
banners and portraits The ENemann
Photo Works showed a novelty in the
way OF a machine which photographs,
prints and projects without the use of
outside contrivances.

Of celebrated women. Among Americans

Maria Lowell was born in Watertown.

NEW HANDKERCHIEFS
ARE RIOT OF COLORS

New handkerchfefs are a riot Of color.
White handkerchiefs are certainly not
on display. The fashionable handker-
chiefs to be worn with tailored suits are
in solid colors. or the same thing with
a quarter-inch hemstitched hem in white.
The colors run all the way from dainty
shell pink, paIest blue and most delicate
Iavenders to navy blue. dark brown and
crimson.
For afternoon wear the colors are not
quite so pronounced. There will be the
merest thread Of color bordering the
white handkerchief or the initial will be
worked in a color.
Again, the background of a white en-
broidered letter will be of a color woven
in with the white, but there is sure to
be a touch Of color somewhere.
While most of the handkerchiefs are
finished with a marrow hemstitched hem,
even for formal wear. there are others
showing the dainty scallop inclosing a
bit of Madeira embroidery. also the
initial, all carried out in a pretty color
says an exchange.
It would seem the polka dot never goes
out Of fashion, for one of the new de-
signs shows in the center of the hand
kerchief in a solid blue, while the wide
border is dotted with white. Stripes,
cubes and odd coIorings may be found
by those seeking after the freakish.
Borderings in plaids are new and are
not at all as loud as one might think.
The white centeTs with wide border

Those with solid dark color centers are

Sarah Jane Mellon was born July S
1924. She was the daughter of an Eng
iish tailor who had Ieanings toward the
stage and who educated his daughter
with this aim in view. She made her
debut at the age of twelve. singing in
opera at the age of seventeen and max
ing a decided hit as Hamlet at the age
of eighteen. Her husband whom she
married when she was thirty-four. was
Alfred Mellon. a well-known orchestra

Dickens.
Zenaide Charlotte Julie Bonaparte was

Of Joseph dBonaparte and Charles was
the son Of Lucien Bonaparte, both broth
ers Of the great Napoleon. Zenaide was
a woman of high intellectual attainments
and great charm of personality. Her
contribution to literature was a transla-

to be popular, had brought his friends to
the house and been gratified that they
had found her attractive OF course she

POP CORN DAINTIES.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.
Copyright. IsiIl

Not long ago the United States De-
partment of Agriculture published a
pamphlet on the use Of pop corn in the
home and one Of the points it makes is
this; il you have pop corn in plenty by
the side Of the family hearth. and II
you know Of many good ways to prepare
II, you will have one more attraction TO
keep the family. young and old. at home
and one more substitute. in many
guises. for the cheap candy and soda
water sold in the neighborhood. The
really wise housewife in a household
where there are children is always on
the look out for various pleasant sweets,
in liquid and solid form.
OF course. the trouble with many
homes Is that there Is no hearth. OBJ
viously, the family cannot gather around
something that does not exist. But there
is a kitchen stove OF some sort And pop
corn can be popped perfectly over a
gas hame-in an ordinary wire pepper.
The pepper must be held rather high
above the flame and must be kept con-
stantly in motion, to prevent burning.
A very satisfactory electric pepper Is
sold, put, although this is a conven-
ience, It is necessary IL there is a fire
of any sort.
1t is an easy matter to grow enough
corn for home consumption in the home
garden. so next spring when you are
planning your garden you might ar
range to have eight or ten rows of this
delicacy.
Perhaps pop corn is never better than
when II is just plain popped-eaten hot
with melted butter and salt. And this.
of course. is the easiest method Of pre-
pairing il.
The popped kernels may also be eaten
as a breakfast food. They should be
freshly popped and crisp, and served
with cream or milk and sugar. They
can also be eaten hot. with maple syrup
poured over them, and in this form
make a palatable dessert for children.
Pop corn should always be thoroughly
popped. until the kernel or brown husk
has almost disappeared. and the white,
fiuffy part has covered il
The government bulletin gave this re-
cipe for a delicious pop corn sweet Two
cupfuls OF granulated sugar. half a cup
full of corn syrup, two ounces Of choc-
olate and a cupful of water. boiled until
the resulting syrup hardens when 1t is
dropped into cold water. Pour over four
quarts of fresh popped corn and stir
well.
