STIRRED BY LINCOLN WORDS
Spectators at Film Play In 5eIasco
Cheer mo Insult" Sentiment.

When the words. 81 will tolerate
no insult to the American flag. even
IL It means war" were flashed on the
screen at the Belasco Theater last
night during the showing of the Lin
coin film, "The Presidents Answer"
hundreds of men and women arose to
join in cheers that filled the theater
as the orchestra played THE Star
Spangled Banner"
The film is a portrayal of the
martyr Presidents life and traces his
history from his boyhood In a log
cabin to his career in the White
House and assassination in Ford's
Theater. In the large audience were
members of the Diplomatic Corps and
citizens from all sections OF the
country.
AS the film presented scenes OF
days that tried mems souls, deep
emotion was apparent. When the
spirited words of the War President
were quoted a man in the front of
the house cheered. Others followed,
and in a moment the entire audience
was on its feet.
Benjamin Chaplin, a noted por-
trayer of Lincoln manners. and who
is playing the leading role, as well
as directing the production of the
film, appeared personally on the Be
lasco stage at the afternoon and
evening performances yesterday.

S. ]. TILDEN STATUE
MODEL is UNVEILED
Plaster Cast by William 0rdway
Partridge Now in New
York Street.

NEW YORK, March Samuel J.
TiIden. one time candidate OF the
Democratic party for the Presidency
of the United States, made his bow
again yesterday to the city, where
he once lived and toiled and, bare
headed, dared the blizzard to do Its
worst as he took his stand on Q
granite pedestal at Park avenue and
Thirty-fourth street.
The great Democrat never batted
an eyelash all day. With his right
hand extended in characteristic pose
he stuck to his post, although his
hearers were few and remained only
a heeting moment. And he will re-
main day and night at his present
stand until the Municipal Art Com
mission gives the final authorization
to mold him in bronze.
Yesterday was the anniversary
OF Mr.. Tilden, according to every
old time Democrat, and in honor OF
that occasion his friends OF today
took tha opportunity to place a plas-
ter cast, the work OF the sculptor,
William Ordway Partridge, In posi-
tion.
The cast was placed in position
Saturday night, but was unveiled yes
terday. There were no formal cere-
monies, a workman merely tearing on
the covering and doing SO with no
consideration for the famous man un-
derneath and only curses for the
weather.
The ceremonies will be reserved for
the day when the bronze finished
statue Is placed in position after the
Municipal Art Commission has decided
that the work is satisfactory.
The plaster cast is ten feet and
stands on a nine-foot pedestal In set.
ting of Stony Creek red granite.
Mr.. Partridge began work on the
statue seven years ago by direction
of the Tilden executors, as he sup
posed. Hitches occurred which caused
him to threaten suit against the ex-
ecutors. Former Park Commissioner
Slower effected a compromise and the
statue is now completed, thirty years
after Mr.. Tilden's death.

RICE IN NEW GUISE
MAY GUST POTATO
Chief AIsberg Of Chemistry Bu-
reau, Urges People to Sup
stitute Cereal for Tuber.

SIf the high cost Of potatoes leads
the United States to the habit Of eat
ing rice, IL will be = good thing for
the country" said Carl l. Alsberg,
chief Of the Bureau OF Chemistry for
the Department Of Agriculture, today.
"The reason why potatoes are so
high IL that we as nation have de-
veloped the habit Of eating tubers.
when we get the habit Of eating rice,
which is equally heaithful, the price
of potatoes will come down"
Mr.. AIsberg says there is no reason
why rice should not be substituted
for potatoes.
@Near1 Potato Sought.
Efforts are being made at the Uni
versity of Chicago and at Northwest-
ern University to. solve the problem
of the high cost Of living by putting
'.near" pototoes on the American din
ner table.
Asked IL he thought these efforts OF
university chemists would be success
full, Mrs. Alsberg replied:
dNothing IL impossible today ex-
cept perpetual motion should not
be surprised to see potato made out
of rice"
Laboratory experiments, according
to chemists, show the possibility of
such an accomplishment and q new
line of investigation IL being
launched.

JOHN D. R.'SDOG
QUITS NEW HOME
Wiggie 0verawed by Maids and
Footmen and Grandeur,
So He Runs Away.

NEW YORK, March 5.-When John
d. Rockefeller turned his immense
mansion on his estate at Pocantico
Hills over to his son he made no hit
with Wiggie.
Wiggie is a scrubby little Scotch
terrier owned by the children of John
ID. Rockefeller, jr.. and when the fam
lily moved from their less pretentious
home on the estate into the huge
house built by Mr.. Rockefeller. sr.. for
himself, Wiggie was taken along as
a matter of course.
The big house had no lures for wig
gle. Wiggie preferred to romp with
the children in the more intimate con-
fines of John d. jr.'s former home.
There Scotch terriers short legs
could paddle him from room to room
without having to pass by squads of
imposing footmen and companies of
maids. who had the same effect upon
Wiggie they would have on average
citizens.
Tried to Get Used to Il.
Wiggie tried hard to accustom him
self to his new home. He roamed
around the Temple of Love, with its
Aphrodite, but found nothing there to
appeal to dog. The rainbow poor
would be all right in summer to swim
In, he thought, but that was the limit
OF its use. The sunken gardens were
not half so much fun as the lawn of
his former home and the massive
fountain meant nothing to him.
The dog felt as IL he had been sent
to live in the Grand Central Station.
Then Mr.. RockefelIer's organist play
ed the massive organ. and the peals
ran like thunder through the house,
increasing Wiggie's desire for the
friendly old haunts that had formerly
been his.
Last Friday the dog explored the
inner reaches of the huge mansion,
and finally found his way to the
kitchen, thence through the tunnel
used by trade wagons he went to the
rear of Kykuit Hill. Then he set out
In search of his old home, but he got
lost on the way and when night came
he was in Tarrytown.
Picked Out n Friend.
1t was about time for his supper
then, so he picked out a child and
made friends with him. Wiggie's man
ner was so appealing that the child,
the son Of Raymond Page, took the
dog home, fed him and kept him for
the night.
John D., jr.'s, children had missed
the pet in the meantime, and all the
men on the estate were set at the task
OF finding him. They looked dill
gently, but were unable to locate
Wiggie.
On Saturday an advertisement was
inserted in the Tarrytown papers,
and that night Mr.. Page saw 1t and
returned Wiggie to the home he had
tried so hard to lose. What is left
of Wiggie's tail wiggled so hard that
some of the hairs were shaken out, SO
great was his joy at seeing the Rookie
Teller grandchildren again, but his
solemn black face was set in gloom
as he realized that he would have to
live in the S1.OOO.0OO home again. Mr..
Page got SO for returning the dog.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with
brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur When.
ever her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. BY
asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound you will
get large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-knSwn downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound now because it darkens
so naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell 1t has been applied-it's so easy to
use, too. You simply dampen comb or
soft brush and draw it through your hair,
taking one strand at time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after another
application Or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft and
beautiful. This preparation is delight
full toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.
