big difference in a picture show in a
regular theater and a converted store
room. In the first place the theater
itself has been entirely done over in
matter of decoration, the Hobbies re-
furnished and beautified, n real pipe
organ second to none in the entire
State has been installed, and Mr..
Yeager, whom your theatergoers all
know engaged to play 1t.
Pictures With the Punch
Now as to the pictures, there is of
course no doubt that the Colonial will
have the best that are made. Film
manufacturers are always anxious to
have their products shown under best
conditions in real theaters, and the
choice of the entire market was ours.
Our selection of the entire output of
the Vitagraph, Lubin, Selig, Essanay
and Fox companies was based on our
opinion that they were the pictures
with the punch to them-the kind the
people like.
These companies have the largest
number of popular stars and their
Photographic work is excellent. They
spare no expense in making a photo
play perfect and we intend 20 spare
no expense in our effort to present
them under perfect conditions"
Speaking of the theatrical season
in general, Mr.. Vincent said that man
ayers throughout the country are look
ing forward to period of renewed
prosperity. Locally he said, he had
no doubt but what the people will
take kindly to the new vaudeville ar
rangement at the Majestic theater.
THE three show a day policy as
conducted on our circuit is the biggest
bargain in entertainment offered any-
where in the country" said Mr.. Vim
cent. People must not imagine that
because there are to be three shows a
day that the Colonial grade of acts
is to be played at the Majestic. The
same high class vaudeville that your
people have seen for the past eight
years at tho Orpheum will be given
at the Majestic, only there will be Ave
acts instead of seven, and the prices
will be cut in half"

RUSSIA TAXES HAND
 IN BALKAN AFFAIRS
LONDON INTERESTED IN REPORT ED BOMBARDMENT OF
 VARNA.

London.-The Teutonic powers are represented as taking full advantage oI the moral effect produced by the with drawal of British forces from Galli- poll Peninsula and to be attempting once more to swing Greece and Rou- mania to their side in the Balkan ope- rations. Ii the news of the lombard ment of Varna is correct, Russia Is losing no time in an attempt to fore stall these efforts. From several sources, all unofficial, London has heard of the bombardment of the Bull garian port Various dispatches state that the Russian warships are occom- panied by fleet of transports which, according to the morning papers, al ready has landed sufficient force to hold the town.
 Although the Greek elections have given a large majority to former Pre- mier Gounar1s, a powerful member of the present cabinet who is not over friendly to the entente powers, it is not believed here the change will have much of an effect on the attitude of Greece, which is now much more agi- tated by the possibility that Bulgarians will cross the frontier than by the for nation of a new government.
 Along the western line, according to British ofncial reports, the Germans suffered heavy losses while exposing their forces in an attempt to occupy craters which their mines had opened along the front near Armentieres. French operations at most places are hampered greatly by bad weather but a considerable portion of the German works on Weilerkopf has been carried.
 The Russians are reported to have occupied Kun, which indicated they are making an important advance in- to the interior of Persia.
 Although the question of conscrip- tion figured largely in the army debate in the House of Commons, it was only an incidental part of the discussion The country awaits with keen interest the debate which is certain to follow presentation to the House of the earl of Derby's figures on the attestation plan.

NINETY MILE GALE
 SWEEPS EAST COAST
RAIN, HAIL AND SNOW ACCOM- PANIED BY THUNDER AND
 LIGHTNING.
WIRE SERVICE CRIPPLED
Storm Had It's Center in Massachu- setts, Where Much Damage Was Done-Number of Barges
 Were Lost.

New York.-One of the wierdest storms the east has seen in many ars-rain-hail-an snow accom- panied by thunder and lightning and a gale that reached a maximum veloc- lty of 90 miles an hour-descenued from the northwest as the aftermath of Christmas fog. It indirectly caused seven deaths in this city, car rled down telegraph wires, damaged shipping, crippled railroad traffic and caused considerable property damage.
 The phenomenon of thunder and lightning in the midst of driving snow awakened New Workers at the height af the storm. A gale from the south accompanied by rain had been blowing a9riig tie e ssift ift, but the tenn. perature dropped during the early morning hours, changing the rain to hail and then to snow. The local weather bureau reported a total pre- cipitation of 5.2 inches, of which 2.s was snow.
 The wind shifted to the northwest and increased in violence, reaching it's 90-mlle intensity soon after carving or the storm clouds. The gale con- tlnued, however, hurling signs and coplngs to the streets and demolisb- ing several partly built structures.
 The storm had it's center in Massa. chusetts, the weather bureau reported and the telegraph companies said their service in New England had been badly crippled, although communication had not been entirely lost with the nrinci. pal cities. Several of the land lines or the cable companies between New York and Nova Scotia were mt o,,t of business.
 Shlpplng Of all kinds scurried to shel- ter to escape the heavy seas and sew eral ocean liners dropped anchor Tn. LII the gale abated. Twentv-fve ner. sons aboard 15 canal boats driven ashore off Sandy Hook were rescued by the coast guard crew there. as. sisted by the crew of the coast guard cutter Seneca Those saved includod the wives and children of the boats, captalns, James O'Neil, in command or one of the of the boats, was knocked Into the sea by flying board and drowned

The chief claim to attention is based upon the fact that this kind of apron requires almost no ironing.
 Although the subject of kitchen aprons is not one to arouse great amount of enthusiasm, it is not by any means without interest. Many aprons manage to be attractive, while they cleverly fill all that is required of them in the way of usefulness. This means that they must cover the figure, be plain and easily adjusted, good looking and shc pely. They must be neatly finished and provided with at least one pocket and made of ma terial that will stand any amount of tubbing.
 All of the new aprons are made with elbow sleeves except those that are sleeveless. Very shapely and at tractive models have q large bib at the front of the body fastened by fiat bands of the material to the belt at the back. A f Avorite finish for all edges is flat band of material in contrasting co, Jr. All the fast col orE ere used th. vHhitte and and tripod effects prevail.

In January the order of the year brings about the making of new un- dermuslins, house dresses, kitchen aprons, and all the white work re- quired by the household and the house. And in the annual January sales, all over the country, of white goods, mer- chants present the stocks of cotton fabrics which they have assembled in anticipation of the demand for them. There is no better season in which to buy cotton products than at the beginning of the year.
 There has been a steady advance In the standard of quality in many lines of cotton goods, and in the in- troduction of high-class novelties. the mills are making a rapid progress.
 A Kitchen apron that may be made or cotton crepe, as well as of the usual percale or gingham, is shown in the picture, and hardly needs de- scriptlon. It covers the figure and fastens at the back, unlike many of the late patterns, which fasten at one side. Blue is the favorite color TOT the apron Of cotton crepe, and it is finished with white braid bindings.

RUSSIANS HAVE WON SOME SUC- CESSES AGAINST WEAKER

BRITISH ENGAGE WITH TURKS
It Is Reported Sir Edward Greys Health May Compel Him to Leave the Cabinet-Derby Recruiting
 Scheme Is Considered.

London.-The news from various portant developments. The Russians are winning successes against weaker enemy hostile forces in Persia; the British in South Persia have had some severe fighting with the Turks. without materially altering the situa- tion; the allies at Salonik1 conten- plate their nearly completed fortifica- tions with the utmost satisfaction; on the west front there is little to re- port, except minor artillery and bomb ing operations.
 Although holiday in Engla1d, the members of the British cabinet re- turned hurriedly from the scenes of their Christmas festivities for an lm- portant meeting, at which were dis cussed the Derby recruiting scheme and other matters which must be threshed out when Parliament recon venes.
 The parliamentary situation con- tinues full of uneasy rumors and some changes in the cabinet are being wide- ly talked of.
 There is a possibility that Sir Ed ward Grey's health may compel him to leave the cabinet. The sudden re- turn of Winston Spencer-Churchill to England likewise is the basis of many rumors. David Lloyd-George, the min ister of munitions, received a great ovation from the holiday crowd when he arrived at Downing Street for the cabinet meeting

The government argues the taxing feature was put into the measure by the house.
