At THE COLONIAL

Weber and Fields, Americas celebrat-
ed comedians, are featured i'm '"rhe Best
of Enemies" a rafting comedy of the
Colonials current Triangle program
This is shown on the same bill with
pretty Bessie Barriscale, who plays a
fascinating role in The olden Claw"
In this play Miss Barriscale is seen in
the part of a society girl, who marres
for his money man with whom she
later falls in love
But in "The Best of Enemies" Joe
Weber and Lew Fields play all kinds
of practical jokes on each other. Their
experiences begin with their entry as
guests in a fashionable countrv house
where they quarrel over Mae Busch.
Fields gets the best of Weber and
kicks him away, whenever he tries to
get in the game.
Joe plays a dark revenge. He noti-
tes the police that If he disappears he
has been killed by Lew. He leaves his
clothes by a pond to confirm the infor-
nation. Lew is arrested and after a
comical trial is sentenced to be hanged.
Mae Busch smuggles a file and sheet
to Lew and he makes his escape. Joe is
captured and is going to be hanged in
the place of Lew, so that the Governor
won't be disappointed. Then Lew
breaks into the room and the Governor
pardons both of the comedians, to the
disappointment of the bloody eXecu-
toner, Mack Swain.
We all know Weber and Fields-'nuff

YOUNG HITS OUT
ABOUT POLITICS
Thinks Legislature Should Be
Told About Way State Insur-
ance Fund Is Passed By

Hospitals and other charitable in
'ututions receiving State aid. school
boards and other public agencies re-
ceiving shares of appropriations by the
commonwealth were given a blast to-
day by State Treasurer Robert X.
Young, chairman of the State Work
mems Compensation Insurance Fund
Board, for insuring their employers
liability in stock or other companies
instead of in the State fund.
The State Treasurer said that the
manner in which the State fund, which
offers manifestly lower rates, had been
ignored should be brought to the at
tention of the next Legislature, which
will hold the public purse strings.
IT is understood that the action of
the Altoona school board in insuring
outside of the State fund was one of
the actions which drew the remarks
from the Treasurer.
In his comments on the insuring out
side of the State fund Mr.. Young
said:
1.-The State Workmen's Insurance
Board have been informed that various
school districts and agencies of the
State government, who are receiving
contributions of public funds through
appropriations from the Legislature,
are buying protection under the body
of Workmen's Compensation laws
which will go into effect on January
first from stock insurance companies
There is nothing in the laws re-
ferred to, preventing such action, but
The board feel that the Legislature
ought to be advised of this course upon
the part of the class of municipalities
or semimunicipalities and other agen-
cies, of the State government follow
,ng this course.
"The State Worllmen's Insurance
Fund was created by legislative enact
ment as a necessary part of the plan
of Workmen's Compensation about to
be inaugurated in this State. Insur-
Rnce in the Fund is cheaper than that
In stock companies, and the rates of
he Fund have been approved by the
Commissioner of Insurance, as have
been the rates of the stock companies.
I'm the light of these facts 1t is so
obviously just and natural that insur-
ance purchased by any institution re-
ceiVing State aid should be purchased
In the State Workmen's Insurance
Fund that a departure from such
course must raise a suggestion in the
mind of the public that some influence
has crept into the consideration of the
school directors, trustees, commission
ers, or others charged with the respon-
sibility of disbursing funds appropri-
ated from the State Treasury, other
than the best interest of the public
which they represent.
This seems to the board to be OBJ
vious in the light of the fact above
stated that insurance can be purchased
at a cheaper rate from the board than
from stock companies; that it extends
a guarantee of no assessment; COM
plete release from compensation liens,
assumption of all liability by the State,
and a return of dividends from undi-
vided surplus premiums at the end OF
the year."

MRS. FISKE
.ERsTMHILE SUSAN

OF more than ordinary interest is the
coming engagement of Mrs. Fiske, count
ed among our most famous American
actresses at the Orpheum Theater, for
one performance only, on Wednesday
evening, January 8. Not only does Mrs.
Fiske's present visit mark her return to
theatrical activity after a seasons rest,
but she is seen in brand new modern
comedy, placing on the stage for the
first time an environment at once novel
and interesting. The comedy entitled
"Erstwhile Susan" is from the pen of
Marian de Forest, recalled for her Lit
tie Women" and is founded on Helen r.
Martin novel, "Barnabetta." 1t pic
lures life amid the quaint surroundings
of a Pennsylvania Dutch settlement,
and Mrs. Fiske has been supplied by
Miss de Forest with one of the most
delightful comedy roles she has had in
recent seasons.
Messr. Corey, Williams and Ritter un-
der whose management the actress is
now appearing, have displayed admir-
able taste in the scenic production of
""Erstwhile Susan" and painstaking care
in choosing the surrounding players.
The latter includes John Cope, Madeline
Delmar, Wylda Milllson, Robert Stowe
Gill. Rockliffe Fellows, owen Mech and

A UNIQUE INDIAN SETTLEMENT

Perhaps the most unique settlement
i'm the United States is the Pueblo
Indian illage, located in Arizona.
This village comprises fifteen hun
dred peaceable Indians, whose sole
and almost only aim in life is to Sc
cure a livelihood as easily as possible.
This settlement Is located in the hot
test section of the State, but the eX-
cessive heat is not uncomfortable to
these people, whose ancestors have
lived in that desert section for un-
numbered generations. Wastes of
burning sand stretch for miles and
miles on every side of this village.
A peculiar thing about this people
is that they have two distinct villages.
The summer village is located upon
the floor of the valley, where the
Pueblos occupy themselves in agri-
culture. The produce they raise, over
what they need to eat during these
hot months, is stored away for win
ter use. There are only few places
in that section of the desert where
water is obtainable and in these
places the Pueblos pursue their
primitive agriculture. Seasons come
and seasons go, but as each goes by
it sees these people living as they did
during the preceding one. Since the
white man first knew of this colony,
which was back in the sixteenth cen
tury, the habits of this tribe have not
changed. They eat the same kind of
food. do the same sort of fancy work,
and live just as did their ancestors.
So far as is known to historians this
is the oldest colony of any kind in
this country.-The Christian Herald.

Price of Crude Oils Takes
Another 10 Cent Jump
Ru Associated PrcsS

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 30.-Another
advance in the price of crude oils was
announced by the South Penn Oil
Company at the opening of the market
to-day, Pennsylvania crude, the base
OF the list, being advanced 10 cents q
barrel to s2.25. Ten cents also was
added to Mercer Black Corning and
New Castle, bringing the price up to
S1.75. while s cents additional lifted
Cabell to $1.7S and Somerset to $1.63.
Ragland was advanced cents to 70
cents.
Oil authorities expressed some hope
that this latest addition to the price
would bring out stocks held by pro-
ducers, which are badly needed by the
refineries because of the tremendous
demand for oil for domestic and for
eign use.
