A Feminine Question.

There is a mighty big question in the play running at the Dream. entitled "The Price Of Her Sil- ence." We see the question often answered on the stage or the screen but seldom in real life, per haps for the reason such things are not generally known. The question is "am I my sisters keep er?" Florence la Badie is the question marx in this production. She answers it admirably.
 "The Girl and the Game" series, with Helen Holmes. is also part of the program which ends to- night.
 Oh. yes; that cut in last nights Empire. in this column. which was supposed to be a scene from "The Price Of Her Silence" wasn't. Nope. Bill planes Thompson for the mis- take and Thompson planes Bill and the movie man gets the real blame. because he didn't notice that it was for play that had been at the Dream steen weeks ago.

For ShOrter Features.

TOT onOILeI EedJuIeS.
 The Essanay Company has ceased to make photoplays by reels. Geo. K. Spoor. president. has inaugu- rated the system of putting out films according to the time they take to run on the screen.
 In the future Essanay plays will not be announced in reels or acts, but by their screen time. As the average reel takes about fourteen minutes 10 be thrown on the screen at normal rate of speed, the ex- hibitor can readily judge the foot age of the picture, it he cares to know
 It is spoor's idea that the specta- tors at the theatre care nothing about the number of reels, but are anxious to know what is the length of time a picture will run.
 There is still another and more fundamental treason why Spoor de- cided to disregard the reel lengths and to adopt the system of screen time
 Since the advent of the feature into the motion picture business the public has been differentiating between pictures by length rather than by qauity," said Spoor. "There are short films that are just as much entitled to the name of fea- lures as the long ones. have seen three-part photoplays which were as strong as any longer fea- tmc and much stronger than many.
 Essanay Will Not Pad.
 Tt has been a question of chop ping down a story to make it in two or three parts or padding it out for five or more 10 make a feature out of it. Essanay will not do this. The story will run for just what it is worth and no more. If the plot can be carried out in three reels and a half it will run that long and not longer If it is necessary to carry a footage of $500 feet or more it will get that footage.
 "The exhibitor and the public can judge it's length by our an- nouncement of its screen time, the length of time it takes to project it.
 "I believe that the sooner tho manufacturers realize that the pub lie is not entirely feature mad, the better it will be for the exhibitors business and for the manufacturers l believe that exhibitors are anx- ious for the shorter stories of real merit and it is up to the manufac- turere to supply them"

TO BBAUT1FY CHURCH GROUNDS.
Member Of Episcopal Parish Makes Gen.
erous offer-Meeting to Be Held We'd
nesday to Consider Plans.

The vestrymen of st. Michael 8
Episcopal church are planning extern
sive changes in the church property on
Main street. A member of the parish
has very generously offered to beauti-
fly the church grounds. The scheme in
mind is to regrade the lawn, remove
some of the trees and plant others, re-
locate the entrance and plant shrubs
and vines so as to greatly beautify the
property and that part Of the village.
In addition to this work the vestry
plans to provide rooms for the Sunday
school, either by finishing rooms in the
basement of the church or by the cree
ton of a 1ew building. A meeting of
all members of the parish is to be held
Wednesday evening, Nov. Is, at 100
clock in the church to consider all
plans offered and decide what action
will be taken.
The work of identifying the grounds
and property has been held up pend
ing an agreement with the selectmen
as to putting snow guards on the town
hall so as to prevent the snow from
the roof of the town building falling
on the church land, the planned en-
trance being along the southerly side
of the land, and some of the trees and
shrubbery being along the line of
fence next to the town land.

STATE TO BUY MORE LAND.
Vermont to Get Title to $500 Acres of
Forest on Cancels Hump.

The state will take title soon to $500
acres of land on the slopes of Camel s
Hump, making $500 acres which it
owns in the vicinity and $4,000 in
Vermont as a whole. State Forester A..
+. Halves has just got word from Gov
ernor Gates of his approval of the tract
selected by the former. The tract was
obtained at very reasonable figure,
one which comes within the year S al
lotment of the appropriation.
The new piece of forest land con-
tains a quantity of valuable timber,
spruce, and birch, chiefly and adjoins
the tract of 1900 acres given by the
late Col. Joseph Battell, of Middle
bury. The latest purchase is princi-
pally in the town of Huntington, but a
part of it laps over into the town of
Duxbury. The tract is of especial in
terest to residents along the Winooski
river, many of whose tributaries rise
within its borders. The possession of
the land by the state will mean the
protection of these streams as well as
a practically permanent supply of the
timber. The state will observe its
usual policy and cut down trees as
they mature in such way that the
forest can be kept as fit as possible.
Incidentally, although the state has
taken no action in the matter yet,
there are several good trout streams
in the tract.

A Creed Of Work For Women.

I believe that every woman needs a
skilled occupation, developed to the de-
gree of possible self-support.
She needs it commercially, for an in
surance against reverses.
She needs it socially, for compre-
hending sympathy with the world s
workers.
She needs it intellectually, for a con-
structive habit Of mind which makes
knowledge effective.
She needs it officially, for coura-
geous willingness to do her share of the
world s work.
l believe that every young woman
should practice this skilled occupation,
up to the time of her marriage, for
gainful ends, with deliberate intent to
acquire therefrom the widest possible
professional and financial experience.
L believe that this general policy OF
economic service for American women
would yield generous by-produets of in
telligence, responsibility and content
ment.

Mrs. Thomas was taken into Mr..
Dunklee's home and later in the even

What is the most important attrib-
ute Of a soldier?

What is the most important attrib-
ute of a soldier?
Good feet9 No.
Good eyesightl No.
Good brains9 No.
What then2 Good teeth.
A soldier may have good feet, good
eyesight, and good brains but if he
has bad teeth, he can't eat. If he
can t eat he can't march near enough
to the enemy to see him and use his
brains to fight him.
How does soldier get good teeth
By having good teeth in childhood.
How do children keep good teeth
Through being taught by their mother
how to keep their teeth clean and hav-
ing their teeth looked after while
they are growing. This makes good
teeth for future soldiers.
1t would seem then as though the
first patriotic duty of a mother was
to keep her children s teeth in good
condition. 1t is.
