HER GREAT PR|CE"
 COLUMBIA OFFERING

When the Metro program offered Mabel Taliferro in her first picture she scored one of those unusual signal triumphs called knockout in one. It was her first picture, named Her Great Price," it had such an appeal and she played the part with such charm and grace, that she land ed where other fotoplayer artists had taken months and months to get to the point. In her second, "The Snow Bird" she clinched her first success. Today she comes to the Columbia in third drama of such moment. It is called Gods Half Acre" The story is one of little slavy girl in a home for the aged called. The End of the Rainbow" This girl, so sweet, so winsome, so full of the things that appeal to the mute drama, that the Metro people think it is their best picture since January first. Certain it is that it broke the house record at the Symphony theater in Los Angeles and comes here with a rec cord for almost every exclusive Metro house west of New York. It will be augmented by sparkling comedy one reel. and the usual Pathe News reel Gods Half Acre" is a value so seldom offered in regular pro- gram pictures that it stands out like a cameo. It is recommended per sonally by the Columbia management as a fine high grade picture of un- usual appeal.

 It has been generally acknowledged in entente circles that efforts would be made by Germany to conclude peace separately with her enemies, but so far all the entente nations have reiterated their intention to ad- here to their agreement made early in the war not to make separate peace. The recent death of the Aus trian Emperor, Francis Joseph, and the succession of King Charles to the throne of the dual monarchy also was discussed as one of the considerations which might have been factor in bringing out peace proposals at this time.

 It came to pass that in the course of years Contributor Abintra arrived at , his thirty-first wedding anniversary, and that was on a day recently. And in the morning at the breakfast table he expressed himself thus from an overfowing heart:
 "Well, we've been married thirty or forty years today. And, my dear, I want to hand you this tribute while think of it. In the presence of these children and grandchildren wish to state that during all these years never once have you been guilty of the rep rehensible habit of going through my pockets for money after have retired ct night"
 That is true," acknowledged Mrs. Abintra, "but how do you know it?"
 How do I know it?'' cried Abintra "Why, I have never once forgotten to count my change carefully night and morning"

SAVING OLD MAIL BAGS.
Rough Usage Makes Their Repair (
 Biz Task For Uncle Sam.

Rough Usage Makes Their Repair .
 Big Task For Uncle Sam.
 The repair and proper maintenapce of mail bags are in an establishment at Washington, and the number repair ed and placed in good condition in the last year was million.
 One of the difficulties connected with this repairing process was the accu- mulated dirt and dust which attached to these bags when returned from the service. A system was finally adopted consisting of large tumbling barrels, each having capacity of several hun dred bags. Driven rapidly by electric power, the dust confined to tightly constructed room and carried off by blowers and lodged in immense can vas receptacles, resembling dirigible balloon when inflated, this process was found thoroughly suitable. Four thou sand day are treated by this process.
 The life of mail bag is about six years, but the rough usage to which they are exposed makes many bags un- fit for repair. Such bags as still have good material make what are known as 'pieced bags" Many are thus re claimed and returned to service.
 The advent of the parcel post made it necessary to enlarge the repair shop, because at times 1t was found impos- sible to obtain bags from the con- tractor in quantities sufficient to meet the demand. A manufacturing fea- ture was therefore added.-New York Sum-

 > Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-there's no need of having a sallow complexion-dark rings under your eyespimples-a bil- ious look in your face-dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, wel-known physician in Ohio, perfected vegetable com- pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calomel are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which. should be. en- joyed by everyone, by toring up the liver and clearing the system of impurities.

 pears on the front page, over which is the folio wing caption:
 Halliday house sells for $3,200 less than mortgage"
 The story then states that Halliday is supposed to have gone to Bar liar bor with his family-a report which he is said to have caused to be c1rcu- lated-when instead he came direct to Bridgeport, and tells of his prominence in the political arena. The article states that Halliday represented the property located at Bullock and Dur fee streets as being a finished tene- ment dwelling, when it was only half built, the house being studded, shin gled and 1athed, but that was as near as it came to being in habitable state. He mortgaged it for $7,500 andl the society when 1t foreclOsed could get only $4,350.
 The same society took mortgages on property at Peckham and Myrtle streets, and on Nash road, New Bed- ford, turning, over to Halliday $12.So0 and $14,00O on each piece of real estate respectively. After his disappearance the society foreclosed on the mortgage but 1t is not known just how much of the mortgage value it recovered.
 Halliday, before leaving the city, placed his property in the New Bed- ford Storage Warehouse and it was attached by Elmer l.. Wood represents ing the society. It appears that the head of the society was a man promi-, nent in religious circles and Halliday had impressed him by his apparent deep religious faith and excellent -vir- tues. The head of the society took Halliday's word as truth without in- vestigating the state of the property, so great was his faith in the real es- tate man.
 Since Halliday left New Bedford the Central Luznber Co. has tried in vain to collect bills mounting into thousands of dollars. for lumber which Halliday obtained from them and never paid. Efforts to get money from him in this city proved futile.

Absolute Zero.

What is the absolute zero of tempera- ture? The zero of thermometers is purely conventional. The inventor of the centigrade simply took for zero the coldest temperatur known in his day. while Fahrenheit had even less ground for his selection. Absolute zero is a point fixed by nature and may. be ar- rived at in a variety of ways. All gases expand or contract equal amounts for every degree of heat-the amount of 1-273 of their volume for each degree cenhgrade. If, then, gas is cooled down continuously it must reach q point at which further contraction is impossible. If a gas loses 1-273 of Its volume at each down ward degree of centigrade, then in 273 degrees it would exhaust this power and become solid; hence minus 273 c. is the absolute zero of temperature. This answers to minus 461 F.

 FIRST IN PLANS OF HOUSING co.
Building Corporation Decides Upon Definite Financial
 Policy.

Definite policies in the issuance Of one million dollars worth of stock in the Bridgeport Housing C., which IS understood in financial circles to have been largely subscribed to by factory owners in the city have been premul- gated by the directors
 There will be no preferred stock, de- bentures or bonds. All the issues will be common stock, based on a par value of $25 a share, and will be sub scribed subject te call of the d1- rectors with the provision that not more than 50 per cent. will be called within three months from the date of subscription.
 The first offer is made direct to the manufacturing and business interests of the city and for the benefit of the factory and mercantile interests there will be allotted to subscribers for $1,0O0 or more, options on all houses available, either for rent or for pur- chase, at the regular established prices, in proportion to the amount of the subscriptions.
 Based on this policy and estimating the cost of each unit at $2,5oO, which will permit of borrowing 60 per cent or $1.5OO, the subscribers will be en- titled to the option on rent or pur- chase of at least one house for every $1,OO0 subscribed.
 The policy of the company, as reached by the directors. will be to pay out of the profits earned, divi- dends not exceeding per cent, and employing any aitional earnings which may be made, in the setting aside of surplus fund which will safeguard the principal investment and give stability to future dividend payments.
