WYE are just beginning a new
w play, and as it is factory
story I am eager accurately
to portray one of the unfortunate
girls who toll day after day in those
great beehives of modern industry.
Several times have l gone down to
the manufacturing district during the
noon hour or at fve-thirty, when the
girls, tired, hollow eyed and pale
faced, leave after a hard days work.
I stopped several of them and
talked to them, but unfortunately |
was recognized and the girls swarm
ed around me, as eager to hear about
moving pictures as l was to know OF
their daily experiences. They could
not understand why l asked them
how long they had worked, or why
l broached, as gently as | could, their
home lives. But it was not curiosity
that prompted me to ask so many
personal questions-it was genuine
interest | explained to them fully
that it was because we were going to
do a factory story and l was anxious
to make it so true to life it would
reach out and appeal to all who
should go to see it, from those who
control the vast industries to those
who are but a spoke in the great
wheel of progress.
Robbed of Their Youth.
l did not tell them how unhappy
the sight of their pinched faces made
me feel or that l noticed most of the
young girls backs were round from
STOPPING over machines all day long.
Several of the girls asked me, "How
old do you think am, Miss Pick
ford?" Some of those whom l guessed
to be twenty-five or twenty-six told
me they were just seventeen or eight
cen, while other young girls who
looked at least nineteen confessed to
being sixteen, just old enough to meet
the requirements of the law which
grants them the privilege OF going to
work
In many States I have seen poor,
hollow-chcsted little children of nine
and ten on their way to the factories
in the early morning, where, unfortu-
nately, the laws are not as strict as
they are here.
Talking with these girls, I feel SYM
pathetically drawn to them, and when
visiting their homes l know | am
learning much which will be OF bene-
fit to me in my service to them, for
it is their needs l am striving to pre-
sent to the public.
In my many visits I became very
much attache ed to a quaint old charac-
ter called Miss Jenny. She was so old
she made me think of an apple that
had withercd and dried on the tree,
but had clung to little feeble branch
OF life with a tenacity which none Of
the elements, storm nor wind, could
remove.
She was truly feminine and con-
fessed to only eighty years, though
she acknowledged she had to tell the

 The defense then announced two witnesses who had attended the lec- ture given by William Black in Mar shall on the night preceding the shooting. Henry Holcomb a shop work man of Marshall, said Black declared the convents more or less prisons and ought to have government inspection. The lecturer, he added. also made sensational statements about the rela- tions of nuns and priests and declared he would rather see his wife or mother dead than in a convent.
 Did he make a wholesale denunci- ation of the nuns?" asked Attorney P. O. Beard on the cross examination.
 Yes, nearly all," replied the wit ness. He added that the lecture was widely talked about in the shop next day.
 Walter Scott, now of Fort Worth, but at the ime of he killing of Marshall, gave estimony similar to Holcomb. He said that Black declared during the address that he had been shot several times and expected that he would die "in the cause"

CHECK THAT
 ECZEMA BEFORE
 1T GETS SERIOUS

That little patch of eruption may be nothing more than slight annoyance now. But, if neglected, such things have an uncomfortable way of spread ing and becoming really serious-turn- ing into itching, burning skin troubles that make life almost unbearable.
 So don't take chances. Nip it in the bud with a few simple treatments with Resinol. Usually the first bath ing with Resinol Soap and dressing with Resinol Ointment stop all itching, and soon the irritation is entirely cleared away. Doctors have prescribed Resinol for over 20 years, so that it is not an experiment, but a remedy of proven value. All druggists sell Resi- mol Ointment and Resinol Soap. But if you want a sample of each, free. write to Dept. 54-R, Resinol Balti- more. Md.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL Look years younger! Try Grandma's recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 nobody will know

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray sYears ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- pLcation or two, your hair becomes beautifully, dark, thick and glossy. and you look younger. Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

WILSON AND HUGHES
 "EXCELLENT GENTLEMEN.n
Statement by Prohibition Presidential
 Nominee Landrith.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 25.-A new note for a national candidate in the present election campaign was sounded to- l night by Ira Landrith, the prohibition vice presidential aspirant, when he declared that Wilson and Hughes were both excellent gentlemen" and that he did not care who won the presiden- tial race. Landrith attacked their parties, however, declaring that they were responsible for the silent attitude of their candidates on the liquor uues- ton.
 Both of these candidates are ex- cellent gentlemen, and the country won't be in grave danger with either of them in tho White House" he said at Wilkesbarre. Both are preachers sons, they act alike and think alike, and so I know they are all right. I don't care whether Wilson or Hughes wins,
 But their parties are not all right They are silent on their liquor question and they make their candidates silent IT you can vote the straight republican or democratic ticket all of the time and remain decent, then you're a moral acrobat, and you should perform for the entertainment of the children. Il used to be a democrat. but found couldn't be straight democrat and straight man, so I left that party
 A wave of applause swept over the crowd, but Landrith quickly silenced t with another remark that broke new cheering from other persons obviously democrats.
 "Oh, you republicans need not cheer" he said. You're as rotten as we're indecent"
