A story comes from Sydney of

The strike was Of theater-goers in

The management asked two shillings
for admission to the show, but the
prospective audience refused TO pay
more than one shilling, and after a
hasty consultation outside the theater
formed a theater-goers' union.
Pickets were stationed and within
few minutes 27s persons-praetically
all who were there-had agreed not TO
pay the two shiIlings.
The manager appeared at the door

reduction.
''Tll give you till l count 20" said
the president of the union, "and after
that our price viii be sixpence instead
OF one shilling" He counted slowly
to nine, when the manager capitulated.

AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

William S. Hart, in a good thriller.
entitled, Shark Munroe," will be the

Shark Munroe is a remarkable
character and the story by C. Gardiner

human document of the western seas.

terfront saloon in Seattle, just before
his ship is abuot to sail for Skagway.
and he meets Marjorie Hilton, a beau
tiful girl from the East, and her

TURN RABBIT PESTS INTO PROFIT

Fully 200,000,000 wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year
according to estimates made by the
Biological Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Many OF
them are jack rabbits. the majority OF
which have not been utilized in the
past. If all the rabbits killed were
consumed, they would represent be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons of val
liable food, and If proper measures
were taken to insure the collection of
skins, these alone would have a value
of $4,000, 900. The Biological Survey
has frequently been called upon 10 help
western farmers in coping with the
rabbit pest In view of the probable
economic value of rabbit meat and fur
in the coming few years, the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation Of this i'm
portant resource. Already a number
of establishments for collecting, dress
ing, canning, and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers. AS
in Austria the transition of the wild
rabbit in this country from its status
as a pest to source Of profit is assured,
it is believed.

To Cut Cardboard.

Cardboard is used for so many pur
poses that ii is well to know the way
to. get straight edges. Never use scis
sors for the purpose, for that makes
ragged edges. Instead use a ruler,
preferably brass-edged one, and lay
it on the cardboard with the brass edge
upward. AS the ruler has bevel edge
the brass is fraction of an inch above
the board when II is properly placed.
Now get very sharp penknife, hold
the ruler firmly and draw the knife
along the brass edge. Do not attempt
to cut through the cardboard the first
time, but merely score 1t deeply. Now
remove the ruler and cut through the
incision. The result will be a clean
cut edge, such as a picture dealer
makes on mats.

The fashions In Suchien, Kiangsu'

piquancy which was unknown in the

been exhibited for weeks. It displays
two or three of the typical western
suits"-the swallow-tailed and the low

them is the proud silk or stovepipe hat
