Fill Four-Day Special
Engagement

/ She didn't have any clothes to go to
the party and she had an invitation
from the incest Millionaire you ever
saw, so she just went and pawned her
luck, did Annabel Lee, and what hap
pened to her at the party and there
after makes rafting good story out
of Luck in Pawn" Marguerite Clark's S,
the screen lady dainty, latest eoptribu-
ton to screen entertainment.
Luck in Pawn" is a Paramount-Art-
craft comedy drama, and it brings Miss
Clark to the Strand Wednesday for a
special four-day engagement. The dainty
little star is easily the best Coincidence
the films have ever known She brings
to her roles not only the finished artistry
of years of training, but winning
charm that few actresses possess She
has never been Il vampire or any OF
these tense ladiesSof the movies.
| She has always been Just charming
American girl who finds life worth while
and this old world nice place to live
in This is just the sort of role she
! has as Annabel Lee in Luck in Pawn"
Annabei had come to the city to study
art, the trip made possible by the sac
rifices of her mother, so there was no
spare money for the little art student.
4 This became almost tragedy one day,
when she received a letter from a
J
crticise her work and advise her, pro-
viding she would call on him at the
summer resort where he was stopping.
However, Annabel overcame this lit
tie difficulty by pawning necklace.
With the money thus obtained she calls
on the great artist and is informed that
she will never be able to paint. To
add to her unhappiness she meets
charming young millionaire, who is at
tracted by her fresh beauty, and he
invites her to big dance. The invi-
tation makes her happy, only to bring
deeper woes, when she realizes she
hasn't a thing fit to wear.
Once more the pawnbroker comes in
,handy. He loans her enough money
for party gown, when she persuades
him that this dance may mean big OPP
portunities for her future. To protect
his loan, the pawnbroker comes to the
dance, and Annabel introduces him as
her uncle.
Then when everything is progressing
nicely and Annabel is having the time
of her life, one of the guests exposes
the pawnbroker How Annabel is ex-
tricated from this unhappy position
and eventually finds happiness with
her millionaire brings Luck in Pawn"
to most satisfying conclusion.
Besides the big feature there will be
another-of those Paramount Briggs
comedies, When Teller Needs a
Friend" the Pathe Weekly and TropicN
Tips and Miss Katherine Stang in violin
recitals.

A Flaw in the Story

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Dispatch.
A critic was discussing John Singer Sar-
geant the artist, with Chauncey Depew,
and remarked:
"They say he painted a cobweb on a
ceiling once, and it was natural that
the maid wore herself outlying to brush
it off.
What you say about the naturalness
of the cobweb may be perfectly true
retorted Depew, "but here never was
any such maid, I'm sure

SWIFT e co. PROFITS
LESS THAN 2 PER CENT
Only Thing Wrong with Packing Bust
ness Is Public Impression Some
thing Is Wrong.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24,-Methods
of the, federal trade commission in con-
Quoting its meat packing inquiry were
attacked at yesterdays hearing of the
House interstate commerce committee on
legislation to regulate the meat industry
in accordance with the commissions rec
concentrations.
J. Fl. Mayer, counsel for Armour a Co,
was on the stand testifying to the con
stitutionality of the bill and the com
MISSIONS inquiry.
When the federal trade commission
took testimony and found a verdict OF
guilty against the packers, Mr.. Mayer
said, his clients were given no chance to
reply and he was not allowed to partici-
pate in the hearing at all
DO you mean to say the federal trade
commission undertook TO investigate
great industry without giving the indus
try chance to present its side y asked
Representative Sanders,
absolutely no" Mr.. Mayer said. II
made three trips to Washington 10 plead
for the opportunity bnt they refused and
scores Of examiners TO 20 through the
files of Armour & Co, and took many
letters
"Of course they took all the letters TO
show. the contextg" Mr., Sanders inter
rupted
"They did not. Mr. Mayer answered.
He added that mistaken inference
drawn from one letter referring to an
agreed price on lard compound was due
TO the failure of the commission to take
other letters which would have explained
that the price was fixed by the food ad.
miuistration and not by the packers,
Louis f. Swift, president OF Swift &
Co.. who followed Mr., Mayer on thu
stand, declared the commissions report
was unfair in many respects. He said
that Careless, oiihand' statements by
Francis J. Heney, who conducted the
commissions inquiry, such as that the
packers profits were greater under the
food administration that previously, did
the business much injustice He said
Swift & Go. made only l.76 per cent on
each dollar Of sales in the fiscal year 1918
when they were under control of the food
administration, while in the year pre-
vious they had made 3.08 per cent
Mr.. Swift, like the president of Armour
& Co, denied any collision between the
packers. and said they were keenly in
competition with one another.
"The only thing that is wrong with
the packing business is the public i'm
preston that something is wrong" he
asserted, IF that impression, which has
been created by misstatements and the
inhaming Of public preiudces, could be
ramadiad tho need for all fhis lnui-Infiou

Making Pie Crust.

Do you have difficulty in making good
pastry? A very satisfactory crust for
any pie can be made with " cups of
-four, 1s cup of shortening, " teaspoon
of salt and enough cold water to make
stiff dough. Sift the -four and salt
into bowl and cut shortening into it
with a case knife THE shortening
should be very cold if you desire to have
haky pie crust.l Add the cold water
a little at n time until stiff dough is
formed. When mixing the water in, it
is always advisable to use knife and
cut rather than stir the mixture, to avoid
having it tough Roll out carefully on a
Toured board "a inch thick, rolling the
crust from the center out. After put
ting top crust on the pie, if you will
brush it with bit of cold water, the
crust will have a nice golden color. The
oven must be moderately hot when the
pie is baked.
Place the bottom crust on the tin care
fully, not allowing it to stretch over the
side, and pinch to the tin before cutting
off surplus. Moisten the edge of lower
crust delcately before placing upper
crust. Pinch crusts together.-Spring-

County Agent a Big Factor

To operate farm of 319 acres
with only two young boys to do
the work is not an easy job. To
make it produce a net profit of
81 800 in one year under those
conditions is considered a real
achievement. An Alabama farmer,
in letter to the y. S. Department
of Agriculture, gives this as the
record made by his two sons. But
he adds that the county agent was
the big factor in the achievement
1t was the agent who helped to Sc
lect the seed and gave advice on
draining, terracing, pasturing and
the care of cattle and hogs. In a
general way he has helped by or
ganizing the boys pig and calf
clubs that are working wonders for
the improvement of stock, writes
this farmer. Also he adds that
this county agent and his wife
have caused the canning indus
try at home to increase 500 per
cant in the last two years.
