is bought by an English lord, because

upper-chrust of London aristocracy.
When her husband loses his fortune

Besides the wig, Bessie wears lit

"come Out Of the Kitchen"


Marguerite Clark, the beautiful Par
amount star. was the center of attrac-
ton OF vas. crowds during the film
ing OF scenes of Come Out Of the
Kitchen" at Pass Christian, Miss, rec
emily Miss Clark's latest starring ve-
hicle will be displayed at the War
field theatre next Thursday.
The visit of Miss Clark and her
company proved to be great event
in the quiet socil life of the quaint
little town. Never before had the
village been honored by the presence
of a real motion picture troupe, and
only once before had a cameraman
ever turned a crank there for the edi-
ficaticn an deducation of the inhabi-
tants. This was several years ago
when President Wilson visited some
relatives there for a few days, the
event subsequently finding its way into
one of the motion picture news week
lies. The result was that the schools
of the village we're closed for an en-
tire day and excursions were run from
Biloxi and other nearby towns. in order
that the Inhabitants might see just
how motion pictures are made.

JUNIOR RED CROSS.

With a membership of 100000 900
American school children the Junior
hed Cross is planning extensive activ-
tiles in connection with the peace pro-
gram OF the American Red Cross, to
sustain which the Third Red Crosr
Roll Call will be held throughout the
country November 2 to II.
Chief among the activities in which
the boys and girls will engage will be
extending relief to less fortunate chill
dren in warswept Europe and lending
a helping hand to suffering children
In this country particularly through
Red Cross Home Service. This assist
ance in the home towns will take
forms, such as providing clothes and
other necessities to children of service
men disabled in the war; helping chill
dren threatened with tuberculosis to
build up their strength at open air
camps; helping crippled children by
providing ompanionship, crutches
and doctors care, or finding means of
of transportation to and from school;
founding free beds in children's hos
pitals and sending flowers, books and
toys to the tiny patients that use them.
Members of the Junior Red Cross
will be kept informed of the results
attending their efforts for child vic
Tins of the war abroad through new
monthly bulletin which will be issued
through the school year. Through
tisthis publication they will learn
about the school farms their contribu-
tians provided French boys who lost
their homes in the war, the clothing
they sent suffering children of many
lands, the vacations provided thou
sand war orphans from the crowded
cities of France, the thirty-thousand
chairs and ten thousand tables the
Juniors have been making for the
homes of repatriated war refugees, and
the hospitals and orphanages they
helped establish
The Junior Red Cross is organized
in schools, public, private and paroch-
al, throughout the United States by
that include all the pu-
pills. Its funds are raised by the COM
bined effort of the children through
salvage work, and odd
pennies.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION DRIVE.


Atlanta, Ca, Oct. IL. = Plans are
rounding into shape for the greatest
safety movement ever undertaken
the National Railroad Accident Pre-.
vention Drive=-to be staged during the,
Fast two weeks of October by all rail.
roads throughout the country under
government control. C. M. Anderson,
regional supervisor Of safety, annullced
today that the road of tbs South were
well advanced in their preparations for
participating in the drive, with full de-
termination to stand at the top of the
list of safe railroads when the record
is made up.
Experience has proved that the ma.
jority of railroad accidents are avoid
able; that large part OF the enorm-
Gus roll Of killed and injured reported
every year is due to the unavoidab BILE
catastrophes which attract public at
tention, but to the little lapses from
cauion which cause deatls or injuries
here and there every day In the year.
Education and constant training re-
duces the number Of lapses, big and
little, and the preaching sof safety"
during the past few years has saved
many life and limb. 1t was to DEM
onstrate practically what Gan be done
that the director general bf railroads
approved the countrywide campaign
about to be launched. SiHilar drives
have been conducted previously in the
different regions. resulting in convinc-
ing and gratifying demonstrations.
The general drive will be directed by
A. F. Duffy, manager of9 the safety
section, division Of operations, from
Washington, while Mr.. Anderson, with
headquarters at Atlanta, viii conduct
the southern regions campaign.
Oe of the first steps toward prepar-
ing railroad employees of the South
for the part they are to play will be
the posting of an October calendar
with the dates 18th to 31st In red in all
stations, offices, tool houses, shops,
cabooses and other places where they
will attract attention. Industries
along railroad lines will be asked to
cooperate, especially in the way of
removing unnecessary hazards and
warning their own employees of the
danger ever present on railroad tracks.
Owners and drivers of automobiles are
also to be called upon to help. Just
before the drive begins, cards will be
distributed among all who can be
reached, urging them to be particular
ly careful in approaching grade cross
ings. In fact, the aid of the public
generally is wanted, ,becaus while the
record will be made as to r'sSaroad en-
,a13.,...t,s. ..axxe ---

PASCAGOULA WILL
GET TIRE FACTORY

Representatives of the Continental
Tire and Rubber Co., of New Orleans
visited Pascagoula last week TO look
into the desirability of this city as a
location Of the plant which they will
establish in the South They ", re
well pleased with the outlook here
and submitted a proposition to our
people, which was unanimously eff-
dorsed by the Chamber of Commerce
at a special meeting held at the Sec
letary's office Monday Afternoon. Mr.
Geo. A. Wood president of the com.
pany, was present at the request Of
the Chamber of Commerce and SUBJ
mitted their proposition, which, brief
ly stated, is as follows:
The Continental Tire & Rubber Com
pany, having factory for the turn
ing out of rubber automobile tires, To-
Gated at Muskegon, Mich, for econom-
ic reasons desires to locate in the
South, preferably ON the Gulf coast
The company has an authorized capital
Of $500, 100000, and a plant and machin-
cry, patents, ETC., worth approximately
$178, 100000, and is now actually en-
gagged in manufacturing Continental
Auto Tires, many of which can be seen
on autos running in our streets The
proposition is that If the citizens of
this port will subscribe to $50,000.00
OF the capital stock of the company
guarantee it site of not less than
twenty acres in extent, with a tax ex-
emption of five years, the company
will move its entire plant to this city
at once. Such plant would mean an
Investment OF over hundred thousand
dollars mere for buildings and machin-
cry and equipment and manufactur-
ing enterprise that would have pay
roll at the start OF from $30,000.00 to
$40,000.00 month, mostly for skilled
labor. 1t would mean also the impor
tation through this port of the rubber
and other material necessary for the
manufacture of automobile tires.
A committee was appointed to So
licit subscriptions to the stock and is
meeting with very gratifying success.
Our business people are thoroughly
impressed with the Importance of Sc
curing the enterprise and the stock
will doubtless be fully subscribed by
the end OF the week. A tentative site
has also ben secured.

"The Man From painted Post"

1t is only natural that the cattle own
ers of the Big and Little Larimie dis
trict, aroused over their cattle losses
and suspecting a desperate character
named Madden as the responsible
thief, should consider Fancy Jim"
Sherwood as the man equal to the task
of proving Madden's guilt and bring
ing them relief. 1t is agreed at a
meeting OF the cattlemen to send for
Sherwood.
Sherwood accepts the proposition Of
the cartlemen and arrives on the scene
to begin his operations against the
rustlers. In order that his purpose be
unsupported he comes in the guise Of
an Eastern tenderfoot who has just
purchased cattle ranch, incidentally
furnishing much amusement to those
around Him.

MAYORS AssAlLANr sklPs.

Geo. Alexander. the Greek who yici
ously assaulted Mayor Lewis on Sat
urday afternoon of last week. and
whose trial was set for Wednesday
morning, unceremoniously took his de
parture couple of hours before the
hour set for trial, leaving by motor
boat for parts unknown. When his
absence was discovered, Chief of Pc
lice Ezell and party gave pursuit in
the tugboat Echo, but did not succeed
in locating him.
News of the Greeks unprovoked at
tack on the head of city affairs, while
in the discharge of official duty did not
become publicly known until Sunday
In the meantime Alexander had been
arrested and released under a $500
bond. Indignation ran high and there
was talk of summary punishment, but
wiser counsel prevailed and it was de-
cided to await the outcome of the
trial.
In the affray Mr.. Lewis put I'D a
good fight, but the combination of a
younger man in front with an iron
bar for weapon, while vicious bull
dog lahout which the mayor had gone
to warn the Creek attacked from the
rear, was more than he could handle
successfully. AS result of the en-
counter he had several bruises about
the face and bad confusion on the
leg, where the dog bit him. The fight
was stopped by the Intervention of the
mans wife and others.
Alexander, it is alleged, was whis-
key runner and blind tiger operator
After his release under bond he is
stated to have made threats as to
what he would do to the mayor if he
troubled him further. One of his
countrymen is also said to have been
the bearer of a threat to the mayor
in which he stated that Alexander was
a "Dad man" and If the charge was
pushed against him he might do the
mayer harm.
For the good name of the city It is
PROBABLY well that Alexander has taken
his departure. And in the present
mood of our people further contempt
of constituted authority might pro-
woke serious trouble for his sympa-
