POLES

The supreme screen favorite Clara Kimban Young and her own company appear at Polls theatre today, inn classic Mazda with feast of vaudeville feature acts which will celebrate Polls anniversary and the Holiday week: 2. ".Magda,'' one of Eleonora Duses great successes in America, has real appeal to every mother, lfor-it touches upon the tragedy of, a young girls life, youth and drama, sacrificed because of the unreasona bleness of minimizing parents.
 Clara Youngs creation of the role in films brings more forcibly to ev- eryone the lesson taught by 'Magda" than ever could have been done on the restricted stage by the great Ital- ian tragedienne.
 The College Quintette, vaudeville's s greatest absurdity, present a nifty musical offering under the caption "A Fraternity Rehearsal" Jack McAunffe retired undefeated lightweight boxing champion of the world, will present a short act.

CONTROL DAMPER IN YOUR STOVE
 AND SAVE COAL

Our patriotic duty seems to change over night. One day the best thing we can, do is to devise meat substi- tutes. Last winter it was up to us to save potatoes, now we are urged to use them. One day we are told to avoid lamb and veal and then condf- tions change so that it is better to eat young meat than old. The fact is that conditions do change every day, and our duties change with them. Now the very most important thing we can do is to look for soot. If we live in boarding houses or apartments our search may be in vain. If we own our own house or stoke our own furnace, we will not have to look long.
 The United States fuel adn1inistra- tion says that the most important thing the housewife can do by way of conserving coaa is to learn to con- tro1 Hampers. No householder delfb- erately throws away or wastes coal.

BEADED ARTICLES. ARE POPULAR
 AND COSTLY

Never were beads more popular, and never were beadwork articles more expensive. Although we gasp for a simple beaded purse. when we come to think of working 1t ourself we find that after we have bought the silk and the beads and other neoes- saries, we have saved scarce enough over the price of the finished bag to pay for our time.
 It has been suggested that beads as a: decoration for dresses have come, in because buttons have gone up so high in price. but this can scarce be true since beads themselves have scared with the buttons. Beads have always, since the dawn of history, been admired as @ means of adorning feni- nine raiment. 1t must have been a. very primitive craftsman who first discovered that a piece of metal, !, when pierced through, formed an or- nament with many possibilities.
 Although the English worked big, traffic with the Indians, and got them to barter many costly fur for beads, the Indians were skilled in the mak- 1 ing of beads themselves, and it is said by colonial writers that they made beads from shells, 50 that neither Jew nor devil could contemplate l them"
 What wealth of priceless belts, what vast stretches of territory more valu- able than Manhattan island which was sold for a string of wampu1n, would not the Indian chief of colonial tina aa haua eiUaya for apa of ff1a ffuaIv wrought. exquisitely eolored beaded purses or belts now found in every fashionable woman's wardrobe.

DR, HACCERTY IS TO LECTURE
 HERE DEC. 30 To Speak Under Auspices of Catholic Charitable
 Bureau.
s3,OOO RAISED HERE FOR CHILDREN OF FRANCE
Christmas Dance Tomorrow Night at Brooklawn
 Country Club.

Owing to a pressure of business Dr. James B. Haggerty of Ohio State Col lege, who was to have 1ectured in the course given last year under the aus 1ices of the Catholic Charitable Bur ,4au was obliged to cancel his engage nent at that time. Recently the Bur- eau ascertained that it would be pos sible to secure this fine speaker this year and so he is to come here to speak on Sunday evening, December 30, at 8 o'clock, in St. Augustine's hall.
 $ Dr. Haggerty, who is the Dean of the College of Commerce and Jour- nalism of Ohio State University, sit uated at Columbus, Ohio, is to speak on subject that will be of the great est interest just now. He is to talk on Juvenile Delinquency" He was instrumental in establishing a Juven- ile Court in Columbus over 12 years ago and has kept in constant touch with it's workings and the result of the system,
 This is to be an open meeting and any one interested in this subject, which is vital one, is> invited to at- tend. The Catholic Charitable Bureau wishes to extend a personal invitation through the press to the members of the College Club, to the members of the Jevenile Delinquency committees, and to the Council of Jewish Women.
 The Bridgeport Committee of the Society of the Fatherless Children of France has received a letter of con- graduation from Mrs. Fowler, the head of the New York Committee, re- lating. to the fact that 400 of the postal cards that ensure days, a months or a years living to a fath- erless French orphan, have been sold here. TtAs brings the contribution of this city up to the $3,000 mark, which is splendid showing. The fund that was gathered all over the country, Is to be cabled to France to Marshal Joffre this evening. The Bridgeport committee worked very hard and is entitled to much credit.
 Yesterday was a gala day at the East Side Day Nursery when more than sixty children were given a Christmas celebration. There are at present twenty-five children being &C., commodated at the Nursery every day, and then there is a Neighbor- hood Club of older girls who meet at the Nursery to learn to sew and knit and other domestic duties. There are forty in this club and all of the chill dren received gifts of candy or a toy. There was a tree that was attrac- lively decorated and no effort had been spared to give the little folk a happy afternoon. The Catholic Char itable Bureau wishes to extend its thanks to all who generously con- tributed in order that Christmas cheer might be brought to the chill dren.
 Tomorrow evening following cus- tom that was inaugurated last year. there will be Christmas Night Dance at the Brooklawn Country club. l Christmas night is usually sorne- what of a letdown after the days festivities and so the mem- bers welcomed this opportunity to have an agreeable place in which to spend an evening. From present in-
 dications there will be a very large | attendance.
