At the Regent

Delegates to the suffrage convention
in this city will attend the film pro-
duction of "Your Girl and Mine," at
the Regent theatre in a body tonight.
The six-reel play tells a suffrage story
and it is replete with thrills. In the
very title of the film moral is con-
cealed but who cares for morals when
one can see woman triumph over a
brute in hand to hand combat, a
marriage, a murder and an automobile
abduction which breaks all former
speed records. These are only few
of the many spectacular events shown
in the six reels. DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, Americas most prominent suf-
fragist, appears in the film.
For tomorrow Manager Magaro will
show "Life's Shop Window" 1t is a
story of suave gentleman who sows
the seeds of discomfort In the mind of
a credulous country girl who is mar
ried to hardworking, home-loving
farmer. The polished rascal with his
glib talk about London, New York
and Paris not only alienates the pretty
little woman from her husband but
also tries to lure her away from him.
The intervening scenes are said to be
exceptionally good.-Adv.+

supplies of both sugar and western
white pine suitable for the manufac-
ture of matches, and used for this pur-
pose in the United States. 1t has been
difficult, however, to make up samples
of these woods, for the reason that the
forest service has no funds which can
be used to pay railroad transportation
charges from the west to New York
or to pay ocean freight as required by
the steamship companies. The necessity
to transport the samples across the
continent, instead of sending them di-
rect to Rio Janerio from San Fran
cisco or Portland, is due to present
shipping conditions on the west coast.
That the Brazilian manufacturers
have agreed to pay freight and GUS
toms charges, however, has encouraged
Memphis concern to promise to fur
nish cottonwood samples. The forest
service is trying to get in touch with
other firms which could furnish the
pine and Eastwood.

At the Orpheum

It's a bill snat is generally. declared
one of the season s very best, that
brings the Orpheum IS present season to
close. Acts of high Keith standard
comprise the current bill from first to
last and it can truthfully be said that
each of them are recognized artists in
the Keith market. Chief of them is
a great comedy vehicle exploiting the
well-known efforts of Sam Mann, who,
with an excellent cast, is presenting a
side-splitting comedy, entitled "Lots
and Lots of It." Also Diamond and
Brennan, the nifty girl and the clever
comedian, who have an exceedingly
bright and clever skit of songs, dances
and patter called ''Nifty Nonsense. "
Another of the biggest features is
Trovoto, the novelty violinist, who can
make his violin do everything but talk,
and his eyes do the rest. Also Charles
Lawlor and daughters, presenting vaude-
vile 8 finest character singing speciality.

David Warfeld

Widespread interest is being aroused
in the coming to the Majestic theatre
next Thursday evening of David War
field, who will once more appear in his
finely conceived character of Simon
Levi in "The Auctioneer." In fact, the
mail orders have been pouring into the
box office in way that would indicate
that one of the biggest engagements of
the season will be recorded. The sale
of seats will open Monday morning at
the box office at 8 clock and not more
than ten seats will be sold to any one
persons. Mr.. Warheld s engagement at
the Belasco theatre, in New York, where
he appeared in ''The Auctioneer" the
greater part of last season, rivaled in
point of receipts and popularity any en-
gagement that he has ever played in
that city.-Adv.*

MAMMOTH AERAToRs
How the Water In the Catskill AQue-

The great Catskill aqueduct of New
York City is to have two immense
aerators. One is to be at Ashokan,
where the water can be purified before
it enters the aqueduct, and the other
at Kensico, where the water will be
purified second time just before it
reaches New York City.
The second aerator will be in the
center of three acre basin, 460 feet
long and 240 feet wide in the widest
part. Into the floor are set, in row
after row 1900 nozzles, each of which
will throw a jet of water from fifteen
to twenty feet high. The jets will
strike each other and thus break up
the water into clouds of spray and
bring every drop into contact with the

Electroplating Mirrors

A new method of silverimg mirrors
consists of depositing the metal on the
glass by means of a high potential
electric current. A plate of metal is
placed against the glass; this is laid
fiat ON the table, and the air above it
is exhausted to high degree of va
cuum. Then a small quantity of hy-
drogen gas is introduced, and the cur
rent is turned on through negative
pole attached to the metal plate. In

in her hands, drop the pones into the

cover with the hot lid on which large
live Goals are heaped and in few
minutes each particular atom of the
meal will get hot and explode like

over the upper and lower crust and
there is real corn dodger, the best
bread that ever went down human

Ticker after it is served, but they have
perverse palates.
l have been told by a man in whose
veracity place full trust that zest
is added to the feast if one would
have under ones belt as he sits down
to table one or two stiff drinks Of
pure 2-year-old apple brandy.
Many epicures prefer pot-lickar
made from cabbage. If properly pre-
pared it is excellent in the fall of the
year, but best cabbage pot-licker is a
winter dish. The cabbages have been
buried in the ground and after a hard
freeze, on a rainy day, preferably,
the cabbage is dug out of the pit and
prepared for the pot. The leaves are
as white as snow and as brittle as
glass. About this time the salt meat
is ready to hang in the smokehouse
for curing. For cabbage select piece
of salt shoulder that is innocent Of
sugar-sugar-preserved meat will not
do for pot-licker.
When your cabbage is boiled until
it is precisely done, take it up. If left
till overdone it becomes insipid; if
taken up underdone it is tough. The
negro nanny could be implicitly
trusted therein. If fixed right that
pot-licker, too, is grand-just as good
as the turnip pot-licker told you of
in the foregoing. And it requires the
same corn dodger to make the ration
balance. Some tastes require the
apple brandy to augment, not to stim-
ulate, the zest of cabbage pot-licker.
Now you know what real, simon
pure pot-licker is.

SCOUT CRUISER
SWIFTEST KNOWN

Washington, Oct. 22.-The ten
scout cruisers contemplated in the.
fve-year naval building program to
be recommended to congress, will be
the swiftest vessels of this class ever
built if tentative plans now under
consideration by the general board
are approved. They will be- of great
er displacement than the crGisers Sa-
lem, Chester, and Birmingham, the
only craft of the kind now in service,
but will have sustained speed Of
80 kpots or more an hour and maxi
mum speed probably in excess of the.
35-knot gait at which the giant battle
cruisers to be built will be able <to
travel in an emergency.
The navy now has many destroyers
which can make 80 knots in q calm
sea and. many more will be added
within the five-year period. They are
so low in the water and so light in
weight, however, that they cannot
maintain this speed in rough weather
or for any, considerable distance. The
new scouts will be big enough and
carry enough fuel oil to cross the At.
lantic at swifter pace than the fast
est present day liners, keeping up
the pace in all bat heavy storms.
