ROOMS ENOUGH, IS'MARIE DOROIS
VIEWOF TAYLOR EXPERT MILLNER

Common Ground" the current Of
fering at the Liberty theater, with
Marie DorO as the principal attrac-
ton, contains many interesting scenes
and episodes, but probably the most
unique is the evolutiOns of a hat.
Miss Doro makes one hat into 12-no
mean task, it must be admitted, and
were husbands to train their wives to
be economical with their millinery to
the same extent the funny man would
be very shy on material.
Marie Doro Is known as THE Kid"
a worker in paper flower factory.
She is a child of the slums. She pro-
duces for herself hat that Is mon
strosity, but which she loves as none
of the other girls has anything like
it. She Is removed from her slum en-
yironment and there is instilled into
her child mind the elements Of re-
finement and simpu&,y: During the
II months of her mental meta.
morphosis the hat in question re-
mains with the girl, but7it undergoes
as many changes as does its posses
ssor until in its numerous changes
her former friends would never recog-
rize the object of their one-time envy.
Personally" says Miss Doro, Il do
not recommend encouraging wives to
remodel their, millinery too often. al
though 1t might meet with favor from
the head OF the family"

t TO POWER OF MUSIC

g. fE$
REV. Raymond l.. Fornan, pastor
of the Chester Hill Methodist church
Mount Vernon, N. Y, paid an elo-
quent tribute to Music in the Home
in his Christmas Sermon, which ran in
substance, as follows:
Music is Natures necessity. 1t is
controlled by laws just as valid and
abiding as those that govern. the sup
ply and demand of the food on our
tables and the: clothes on our backs.

mathematics in comparison with
which Jdouble-entry bookkeeping looks
like a simple sum in addition.
- There is music in the Soul of God,
hence the world is full of music. We
bring harmonies out of life and Ma
ture only because God has it in them.
There is harp in every mans soul.
ItImay be hanging dumb on the will
lows or it may be vibrating with mu-
sic. An artificial inspiration of music
is not a bad thing at all to set these
inner harps vibrating again. When
our blood runs poor, we do not hest

seribed for us to tone us up after hav-

Belgians Drug Foes
Beer to Aid Escape

Maastright, Netherlands, Jan. f.
An ingenious ruse, smacking Of pirate
yarns, has just enabled 40 Belgians to
get safely out Of Belgium. A tug
boat lay on the River Mouse at Hac-
court early one morning, guarded by
three German soldiers. One or two
Belgians casually approached and en-
tered into conversation with the SEN
tries, the sequel to a friendly chat be-
ing an invitation to have a drink. at
the nearest hostelry. Here a sleep
ing potion was adroitly introduced in
the unsuspecting Germans glasses,
and a few minutes later the sentries
were carried aboard the boat in "a
helpless condition.
Three Belgians quickly donned
their uniforms, the rest of the fugiz
tive party had already taken up their
quarters below, and the towboat was
soon steaming Hollandwards, the
German war flag flying bravely at the
masthead. Arrived at the lock, or
ders were imperiously shouted and
once safely on the other side the lit
tie boat sped downstream at full
speed, swapping the wire that stretch
ed across the boundary and being
soon afterwards run ashore on Dutch
territory
With borrowed plumes restored to
them, the abducted Germans were
given due directions concerning the
way back to Belgium.

Deer Devastate
Scotland Farms

Glasgow, Jan. 4.-Scotland is suf-
fering from the deer pest. Hundreds
of herds of deer are descending on
farms and devouring. the crops. Far
mers and land agents reported these
conditions at a recent meeting Of the
Scottish Chamber of Agriculture and
demanded amendments to the game
laws SO that more deer could be shot
and the food supplies increased.
It seems that 100000 of Scott
lands 100000 acres are officially
described as "omuntain and heath
grazing land" Of this more than
two million acres are deer forest
proper, and on much of the rest deer
compete with sheep and cattle for
the pasture. A good landlord en-
closes his preserves with q door fence
and keeps it in repair. But it was
said at the Chamber meeting that
there are many bad landlords.
One of the biggest sheep farmers in
Scotland declared that nation less
Injured by tradition to the dominance
of the great landowning families

deer should be confined to the poor
lands, and that the better lands
should be used for crops, pasture or

Warn her against cutting corns

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily BE lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any

drug called freezone. This is suff1
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. You
simply apply a few drops directly
upon the tender, aching corn. The
soreness is relieved at once and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts out

fact that it had to pay the insur-

Well, Peters taste in feminine
ankles once more was spread upon

Julia Kartrowsky testified that she
had been perched upon a ladder,
washing windows, in Peters presence.
Confident of Peters blindness, she
had ventured to tuck her skirts up,
for convenience, a wee bit higher

and had even taken hold of her ex-
posed ankles.

London. Jan. 4.-Quite change
has come over the shipping auction

merly the keenest anxiety to secure

prices, the reverse. is: now, the case.
Recently at the Baltic Exchange sales
room the Khedivial Mail Steamship
company's four steamers. the Ino.
Chaplain, Horsham and Ismalia were
put up for auction but so few. bids
were received that they were all
withdrawn. The Chaplain, of 1,040
tons was taken in after $4,000 pounds
was bid and the Horsham of $50 tons
at $1,000 pounds. This sharp change
in the minds Of owners is attributed
to uncertainty regarding. the shipping
outlook consequent on the appoint
ment of shipping controller and
possible further radical changes by
government order.
