LYRIC

Why not step up to the Lyric this
week and see a real play produced In
q very real manner. I'm Old Ken
ltucky'' is thriller from beginning to
end and shouldn't be overlooked by
q single person in Bridgeport who en-
Joy clean wholesome amusement. II
IL really stupendous production and
the Lyric players and management
deserves great credit for the flawless
presentation. In order to properly
stage the race track scene it was
necessary to install the tread machine
recently used in the ben Hur" pro-
,duction in New York. This adds real
ism to the play for it seems as though
the horses really pounded their way
across a cinder track instead Of a
theatre stage.
During the play there is q per-
3ormance by the pickinniny minstrel
troupe and band and much enjoyment
is taken therefrom. There is street
parade every noon in order to prop
erly advertise the piece and result
the theatre is packed to the doors at
every performance. Regular patrons
Of the Lyric who have not as yet pro-
cured their seats for this weeks play
should do 30 at once for there has
been q tremendous seat sale so far
and deay may prove fatal.
There isn't anything really big
enough to be said about. Miss Frances
McGrath's portrayal Of Madge. the
feminine lead. AS the little noun
tain girl, shy at times and at others
asN savage in her wrath as some Of
the beasts Of her mountains she wins
new admirers with every perform
ance. To see her ride one OF the race
horses is a revelation for there are
mighty few that would care to do it
especially on the tread machine
which would grind one to pieces were
1t to break. There are thrills enough
in the piece so come and see it. There
will be matrices tomorrow afternoon,
and Saturday afternoon and perform
ances every evening. Don't forget
the all-star pictures Sunday. Il

HISTORIC SWORD
OF WASH|NCT TON
USED AS POKER
Boys Employ One Of Glib
erty Bells" AS a Gar
bage Can.

New York, Jan. 24.-Using George
Washington's sword as poker for the
open fireplace, and one Of the bells
that proclaimed liberty at the begin
ming of the Revolutionary War as a
garbage can, Joseph and Michael
Buckowicki six years old. were able to
live quite comfortably in a cottage on
the old Davis estate, in Franklin St.,
Bloomfield, N. J. But after six weeks
Of such luxury the careless cooking of
meal revealed their retreat and
they have been sent to the New Jersey
State Reformatory.
TIL cottage was used as a storehouse
for the many things OF historical in
terest owned by the Davis family and
not in use in their house. There were
trunks containing tapestries, linens.
and bedding. On the walls were
swords and other weapons that had
seen service in Americas different
wars, and about the rooms were pieces
Of antique furniture and the bell that
had repeated the original Liberty Bell
message.
The Buckowicki children longed for
the luxury Of wealth and in prowling
about the Davis place found a way
dslving into its treasures. AS the Da-
Wis hen house adjoined. the two boys
decided to remain there, and for six
weeks they kept house. Their pa
rents had reported them as missing,
and the Davis family had reported
many eggs and numerous chickens as
missing.
With a sword credited to General
Washington in his retreat through New
Jersey the boys had dissected al plump
hen that had been enticed from the
poultry yard on Wednesday, and were
frying 1t when they became engrossed
in the pictures of a war time book.
They did not notice that the frying
pan was without fat and that smoke
was going out window.
A neighbor saw the smoke believed
the cottage was burning and notified
Miss Josephine Davis. She and
neighbors ran to the cottage and
found the two Juvenile squatters. The
police were called.
The boys had made beds Of old tap
estries and linens and had neglected
to change the linen in six weeks. When
Miss Davis saw hundreds of unoccu-
pied eggshells in Liberty Bell she knew
why she had not been getting eggs
from her hens. The boys explained
that they had kind of NEST to the
table, service.
Upon tie statement of the parents
that they could nothing with the boys
they were sent to the Reformatory. 81

Oil for Cooking.

Few people realize what a great
deal Of use can be made of oil in cook
ing and though the price Of oil has
risen considerably, it is cheap to fry
with because it contains no water like
lard, butter. or fat, and it wastes less
when frying.
If care is taken while frying not
to burn the oil. it can be strained after
using, and when cold should be COW
cred, and can be used over and over
again. Let it cool little before strain
ing it.
When using oil for frying. that is
deep fat. put enough into clean, deep
saucepan to half fill it; let it heat
slowly, and when faint blue smoke
rises from it put in two or three of
the articles you want to fry at a
time, let them color n golden brown
take them out, drain on clean papers
and dish.

vada. A year later he was made
president of the Naval War College
and comnnandant of the second naval
district.
Shortly before the entry of the
United States into the war, Admiral
Sims was sent abroad by Secretary
Daniels as special representative and
observer. After the outbreak of the
war, Sims held conferences with
British and French naval officials as
to the best methods of cooperation
of the navies of the nations at war
with Germany. When it was deter
mined to send American naval vessels
into the war zone, he was Immediate
ly selected to take charge of the OPP
erations in European waters.
Previously Admiral Sims had de-
voted much time to the study of ma
val engagements in the great war.
He prepared numerous critical re-
views of the tactics employed by the
opposing, commanders in such fights
as the Jutland battle, the Dogger-
bank engagement and that off the
Falkland Islands between the British
and German craft.
Just what part Admiral Sims and
the United States warships in his
charge have been playing in the
Allied naval operations in European
waters naturally has not been made
public, although there is sufficient
evidence at hand to indicate that that
part is a most important one. Last
June, only month after his assign
ment to the post he now holds, Ad-
miral Sims was appointed to take
general charge of the operations Of
all the Allied naval forces in Irish
waters.

KNOX CHURCH MAY
ERECT NEW BUILDING

In the course of a sermon at the
morning service of the Knox Pres
byterian church yesterday, Rev. Mr..
McIlwain, the pastor, intimated it
would be his endeavor at the earliest
practical date to intest his congrega-
ton and the membership generally in
the question Of erecting new church
on the property at the corner of Thir-
tenth avenue and Blount street.
There will be nothing done right
away, but the possibility of an early
beginning of this new work pleased
many who heard it yesterday. Rev.
Mr.. McIlwain in the southern p-es-
byteries, is recognized as one of the
most successful of church builders,
and the statement from him in this
regard was interesting.
The present building of Knox
church was erected to care for an
overflow of Sunday school attendance
at building on Twelfth avenue, and
in due time regular pastors have
been engaged until now, with a men,
bership of about $50, steps are pos
sible in the way of church building.
There is ample ground space for such
addition on the same property.
