Act Today-Four-Part Mutual Mas
ter Picture, A Man and His Mate.

The vaudeville attraction for the first
half OF this week is another Keith act
called The Earl and the Girls, roll
licking musical comedy with 10 people
in the cast. Eight Of the company are
pretty girls and two funny comedians
Many good singing numbers and
dances are introduced in the show, and
the several changes of costume are a
pleasing feature. Everything done is
up to date, the comedy is clean and
wholesome and the songs are catchy.
This company carries all the scenery
used in the act and electrical effects.
The feature picture to be shown here
today and tomorrow is called A Man
and His Mate, a four-part Mutual
master film, telling how a young COL
1ege athlete of high ideals and good
birth acquires the morphine habit and
later, social outcast and physical
wreck, finds his way into the western

ventures, he is mistaken for horse
thief and is about to be hung by an
euraged mob OF cowboys when a wom-
ans wit saves him from a. felon's death
nnd woman's patience and skill cures
him Of his relentless appetite. There
are some big moments in the p1ayy and
the scenes are alive with action Of the
most satisfying kind. There is an ex-
citing football match, a running fight
on horseback, g. man to man duel be-
tween a crook and a half breed China
man-aH in the rugged open country
pr ranch land and foothills. Henry
Woodruff of Brown of Harvard" fame
plays the part of the unfortunate hero
who wins back the mastery over his
pwn self. The character calls for the
display of dramatic talent of the high
est order, and he insures his place as
Romantic star of the first magnitude.

MIcHELIN REDUCES TIRE
PRICES 10 PER CENT.

Michelin prices have just been re-
duced 10 per cent. vet no change has
been made in the quality of these well
known tires. This good news is sure
Aichelin tires have been selling for
some time at prices a little too high
for some purses. The manufacturers
state that they have been unable,
heretofore, to reduce selling prices
without sacrificing the recognized high
standard of quality of Michelin tires.
The present substantial reduction,
while in a measure due to the surpris-
ingly increased demand in this country
for quality tires, is more particularly
due to the greatly augmented output
of the American factory at Midtown,
N. J., on account of the extremely
heavy demand in foreign countries.
This demand. it is stated, was former
ly supplied from one or the other Of
the Michelin factories abroad.

In Venezuela the tree is known as

and Colombia usually set out for the

1t is the drying process which causes
the shiny white crystals to appear on

wrinkled appearance.
During the year ending June 80,
1913. the United States imported 1884,

$1,140,409. They lend their fragrance

The Real Source of the Perfume
Known as "New Mown Hay"

There is witchery about the
smell Of new-mown hay that appeals
to human kind of high as well as low
degree"-writes Edward ATbes in a re-
cent number of The Bulletin Of the
Pan American Union. Washington, d.
G. There seems to be a tendency to
revert to the primitive and bucolic in
most of us, however effete and blase
our tastes may have become, and the
fragrance of the fields gratines the
olfactory nerves of prince and pauper,
of scullery maid as well as the PAM
pered social butterfly whose more or
less remote ancestors doubtless
breathed in the perfume as it rose
from the dew-covered, tender grass
they moved with shining blade and
gathered with their own strong arms
The attraction of the perfume has
fingered even through many genera
TONS"
New-mown hay, however, is not al
ways available. so the art of the per-
fumer has been called upon to crafty
particular aroma, and ''new-mown
hay has been added to the varied
perfumes of Araby" used as toilet
accessories in liquid form by the de-
voices of fashion. Perfumes, however,
like many other things, are not al
cut or otherwise, has had nothing to
do with the production of the sweet
scented liquid labeled ''new-mown
hay" The source of the essence is
really bean. Not the prosaic, edible
bean of our vegetable gardens, but a
bean that grows in that section of the
world where one Fl Dorado, the
''Gilded One" was thought to rule in
glittering splendor; that tabled land
in the fruitless quest of which SO many
daring, goid-loving adventurers spent
money, time. and even lives most law
hshly. 1t is known as the Tonqua or
Tonka bean, and it's habitat is to be
found in the tropical countries of
South America. chiefly in the valleys
of the Orinoco, Caura, and Cuchivero
Rivers in Venezuela and certain Sec
tons OF Colombia and Brazil
The bean is the seed of Dipterix
odorata, a tree belonging to the
leguminosae or pulse family. The
genus comprises about species, all
large trees, to be found in the forests
of the countries named and having no
representative in northern localities.
The Tonqua-bean tree in some cases
reaches a height of so feet with a
trunk as much as 8 feet in diameter;
it has pinnate leaves and large pam
icles of flowers, which are succeeded
by a pod containing single seed. The
pods are about inches long, almond
shaped, and very thick; the seed is
about an inch long and shaped like a
kidney bean; it has wrinkIed
skin of shiny black color when ready
for the market. The odor. which is
remarkably strong, resembles that of
sweet clover or new-mown hay, and is
due to the presence of coumarin, a
crystallizable, volatile, neutral sub
stance which is soluble in alcohol or
ether and somewhat so in boiling
water, from which it crystaiIizes on
cooling. The beans are often frosted
with crystals of this substance, giving
