The new Paramount picture, THE
Test of Honor affords John Barry
more many dramatic scenes and Incl
dents which might have been written
especially for him so we'll do they suit
his individual type Of acting and char
acterization. The picture is displayed
at the Murray Theatre today.
In one scene it was necessary to
show an apparition in the Jail where
Barrymore is serving time for an al
legged murder which he did not commit.

for the part, and John Barrymore him

future apparitiOn.
Il know the sort of face that would
give me the creeps in the dark, and |

A few hours later the actor was
brought down before the director for
inspection. and one and al agreed that

SPECIALS POPULAR;
LOVERS, TRAVELLING
men, ALL USE 'EM

Special delivery letters have in
creased nearly 100 per cent in the
local postoffice in the last year, Post
master Beck said Friday morning.
There are several reasons for the
big advance in special delivery let
ters," continued Beck. People have
more money and can afford to send
many more special letters than ever
before, Not so many years ago it was
more or less of a luxury to send spe-
cial letters, but those days have pass
ed. Then many persons are under the
impression that it is much safer to
send money and other valuable
articles via the special delivery route
than it is by any other unregistered
letter.
I'm fact, the risk is even greater, for
a special delivery letter is by far the
one that is mostly tempered with.
Postal clerks and delivery boys know
that people send money more fire.
quently by that route than by the
other routes, except insured.
Daily Deliveries.
'The increase has been more notice
able in daily special deliveries than
Sunday. We have in our office a daily
average of so special delivery letters,
which are used to a great extent by
business men. Of course the number
is greater on Sunday, but the increase
is not as large as in proportion as to
the daily number"
"ColOred people are great hand to
send special delivery letters, for many
reasons known only to themselves.
Then we have the lovers. There is
where many of our over weekend let
tiers come from. Everybody loves a
lover but the postman, who has to
make so many trips.
Then again there are the travelling
men who also tend to shoot the num-
Der of Sunday specials up. Very few
married travelling men fail to send a
special delivery home over the week
end"

Grace Julian Clarke
Speaks at Newcastle

NEWCASTLE, Ind, Aug. 90. -
Speaking before the teachers attending
the Henry County Institute here
Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Grace Julian
Clarke of indianapolis. who is speak
ing under the auspices Of the League
to Enforce Peace, declared that If the
league Of nations Is not ratified by
the United States Senate a war more
deadly than the world has ever seen
will result and that the question now
is the league of nations or the eXter-
mination Of humanity.'
Mrs. Clarke paid tribute to Henry
Countys great general, Omar Bundy,
and also lauded William Howard Taft,
whom she declared will receive as
much credit or more than any one per-
son if the league Of nations covenant
is ratified.
She declared that the league is moth
ing but an understanding or an agree
ment between nations to promote a
just peace and abide by international
law. She compared it with govern
ment. Mrs. Clarke said: Laws do not
prevent all crime and neither will the
league Of nations prevent all wars. But
laws do prevent some crimes and the
league of nations will go a long way
toward preventing wars"
Mrs. Clarke said she agreed with
Phillip Gibbs, the war correspondent.
whom she said had declared that the
world must accept the league of ma
tons or the consequences of its re-
observation-disclosures Il do not know
what Bolshevism is exactly, but l do
know we do not want it here" she
said.

MUREETTE.

Although "Bare-Fisted Gallagher"
William Desmond's latest production,
showing at the Murrette. is a western
Comedy-drama, there is little of the
hackneyed gun-play which is flashed in
the usual western in order to work up
dramatic action.
'Bare-FistCd" fights with his two
fists, and they prove effective weap-
ons. He beats up a bad Mexican who
yields a wicked knife, knocks out the

OLD CHARGE IN QUARRY
IS THOUGHT CAUSED DEATH
Investigation by Coroner Leads Offic-
ials to Believe That an Old Charge
Of Dynamite Caused VIII
liam Fields Death.

Investigations made by Coroner
Thomas F. Higgins and a jury follow
ing the sudden death of William
Fields, of Murphysville in a rock
quarry near the junction of the Lex
ington and the Sardis pixies Friday af-
ternoon leads officials to believe that
an old blast of dynamite placed in
the quarry many months ago which
was not discharged at that time is re-
sponsible for the death of young
Fields.
A jury composed Of Messrs. How
ard Key, Thomas Mannion, w. D..
Phillips, William Mannion, l.. Merrill
and John Phillips heard the evidence
of the eye witnesses to the accident
and reached a verdict that Fields had
met his death by an unexpected dis
charge of a blast. 1t was learned that
the entire expected blast was dis
charged before Fields went to the spot
and also that 1t had been thought for
some time an old undischarged blast
was in the quarry. Fuller investiga-
tions on this matter will probably be
made at once.

WILL VOTE
MONDAY ON LENGTH
OF NOON PERIOD
Children VIII Garry Ballots Home to
Their Parents Upon Which They
VIII Vote For Short or Long
Lunch Period.

Superintendent w. j. Caplinger has
prepared ballots which will be given
the school children of the city on
Monday to be taken home to their par
ents and returned the next day. On
these ballots the parents will be ask
ed to express their desire in the mat
ter of a short or long lunch period at
noon.
For the past several months the
children have been given only 80 min
utes for noon and there has been much
agitation this year for an extension Of
this time from 80 minutes to an hour.
Some parents point out that their chill
dren are unable to get to their homes
and eat their noon day meal and get
back to school in the time allotted
them. The noon lunch period was at
first reduced to 80 minutes as a war
measure but many parents now think
that it should be heightened to an
hour.
The matter has been discussed by
the members of the Board of Educa-
tion who have decided to allow the
parents to again express their desire
in the matter and at the last meeting
of the board the Superintendent was
asked to prepare the ballots for the
parents to cast their vote. The ma
jority of the school children favor the
short noon period as they are able to
get out early in the afternoon at the
close of school and at the last refer
endum the great majority of the par
ents favored it as we'll but there seems
to have been much change of opinion
in the matter. The High School chill
dren are able to get warm lunch at
the school building without going
home but in the grade schools the chill
dren are either required to rush home
and rush back to school or to bring
cold lunches to school with them and
there seems to be much of changed
opinion on the matter.

GRAND JURY IS UN-
Able TO REPORT IN
DICTMENTS TODAY
Jury Has Been Very Busy All Day
Hearing Evidence In Several Cases
and Is Unable to Make Report
Report Expected
Monday.

Although the Mason Circuit Court
has not been in session today, the
Grand Jury has been grinding in their
room on the third floor of the Court
House since early this morning and
during the day they have heard many
witnesses on several different cases.
They have been so busy with impor-
tant cases which have taken up so
much time in hearing witnesses that
they will be unable to make a report
to court this afternoon but it Is proba-
BILE that this report will be made on
Monday afternoon.
Some grand Jurors had hoped that
they would be able to complete their
Session by this afternoon but there are
yet matters for their investigation
and they will be in session again Mon
day.
Much Of their time Thursday, it is
understood, was taken up with the
investigation sof various bootlegger
cases and infractions of the game and
fish laws and today, the jury had the
witnesses in Dover's sensational case
before them. The Jury has also gone
into the various cases held over for
them from lower courts but to what
extent their other investigations have
gone only the jurors and the prosecu'
tor knows at this time. The final re-
port OF the Grand Jury which usually
contains several recommendations is
being looked forward to with much IN
| terest at this term.
