at the Nelson lis to see her in role
entirely different from any in which
she has recently appeared. Tha ~
ture Is an Aircraft production by D..
w. Griffith.
It presents Miss Gish as rolllck-
ing girl, half hoyden, half dreamer.
Her old father, who Is home sick for
his native France, keeps little to-
bacco and news stand in New York
city. jeanette has TO tidy UP the
living rooms and attend customers.
Very happy is she with today, but
tomorrow is Of great interest, too, for
then will come her hero, strong,
braHo man who loves the world as she
does and likes to dream, too. At first
she thought Edward Livingston might
be the man. He was an elegant New
York chap. but he called her simp
one day and left before she could
really express her thoughts with the
rigorous force they deserved.
Then she went to France with her
aDddy. When the young giant with a
basket of vegetables arrived for the
daily delivery at her aunt's shop and
found hte American girl wonderful,
Jeanette had new hero II consider.
But he would eat garlic, and Cupid
never rode to conquest on the waves
ct garlic fumes.
Livingston visited France, crossing
the ocean to deliver an apology. He
shared her delight in poetry and he
was clean and fine, but he hated chill
dren. She knew then he could neve.
eb her ideal, and she returned to Mon.
Ie Bebe. Then war changed many
things for little Jeanette. 1t changed
LiYingstln, too. And in the end she
knew Livingston was her ideal.

The op- orators have maintained this agreement

They did not contend that the agreement was terminated by the signing of the armistice, but continued to work under t. They have now decided to take ad- vantage of the shortage of coal and the imniinence of winter to enforce their de-

 The miners demand a six hour day from the time they enter the mine until

Thus the demand for shorter hours week, the present schedule to about twenty-five hours a week. Work ing hours would be cut almost in half.
