Laren, because was persuaded to
sign the contract under false repre-.
sentatiOns. was promised a new
agreement in six months at better
salary. No such contract, however,
has ever been mentioned since" y
Following her success with Uni
versal, Miss McLaren received other
offers, some as high as $500 week,
it is said. But because of her agree
ment she has been unable to take
advantage of larger monetary re-
turn for her services.
If she fails to break the contract in
court, two other ways out are pos
sible. One is to marry. But she
objects to matrimony at this time.
The other method of escaping the
irksome restraint of a $50-a-week
job is to have the court appointed her
guardian.
H. o. Davis, general manager of
the film company, says no attempt
was made to beguile the girl into
signing the contract. He declares it
differs in no way from other con-
tracts between players and the com
pany.
One of the allegations in the suit
is that the pretty actress was re-
quested to pose in the nude for a pic
ture to be known as Devotion"
After her refusal, she claims She was
kept idle for two months, which was
injurious to her reputation.
Twice, Miss McLaren says, she
narrowly missed death or serious in
jury while acting. These occasions
were cited because it was contended
that the company had the right to
rescind the contract if Miss McLaren
should be injured or disigured.

WASHINGTON, D. c Dec 2s.-A des-

being fought around Anahuac. Texas, by
Tnited States forces.
The invaders came across the border

American territory In spite Of a defen'

Years.
The enemy is the pink boil worm

waste the cotton fields for over half a

When one considers the industrial
