HOW ONE WOMAN
HELPED WIN
THE GREAT WAR

Philip Gibbs, the distinguished
London journalist, in writing in the
September Harpers of "Some People
| Met in America" has this gripping
incident Of woman's service
through the war:
81 found a great class of women in
America too busy, too interested, and
too inspired by common sense to be
worried by emotional distress-the
middle-class women who flung them
selves into war-work, as before, and
now. in time of peace, the activities
of charity and education have called
to them for service. There was a
women doctor | met who seemed to
me as fine type of American wom-
anhood as one could have the luck
to meet, and yet, in spite of uncom-
mon ability, common type in her
CHEEKY and practical character. When
the war broke out her husband, who
was doctor also, was called to serve
in the American army, and his wife,
who had passed her medical exam
nations in the same village with him
but had never practised, carried on
his work, in spite of four children.
They came first and her devotion to
them was not altered, but that did
not prevent her from attending to
growing list of patients at a time
when influenza was raging in her
district. She went about in a car
which she drove herself, with the
courage and cheerfulness of a gal
land soldier. In her little battlefield
there were many tragedies, because
death took away the youngest born
or the eldest-born from many Amer
lean homes, and her heart was often
heavy; but she resisted all gloomy
meditations and kept her nerve and
spirit by singing AS she drove her
car from the house of one patient
to another she sang loudly to herself
over the wheel any little old song
that came into her ead-"Hey-did-
dle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle" or
"Old King Cole was a merry old
soul, and merry old soul was he,"
to the profound establishment of
the passers-by, who shook their
heads and said, otis a good thing
there's going to be prohibition" But
she saved the lives of many women
and children in time of plague-and
did not lose her sense of humor or
her fine hearty laugh, or her gra-
ciousness of womanhood. When the
army" as she called her husband,
came back, she should say, kept
your flag flying, old man, and you'll
not find any difference at home"
saw the husband and wife in their
home together. While friends were
singing around the piano, these two
held hands like young lovers, away
back in shady corner of the room"

Academy Notes

Principal Davis announced III
Chapel Tuesday morning that all
records previously established ir
registration in the st. Johnsbury
Academy had been broken this year
He continued his remarks with lit
tie fatherly advice recalling the vital
necessity that each one should start
right now to make the most of his
opportunities; that in order to main
tain the high standard set by the
Academy in the former days, it
would be essential that each student
buckle down and do his bit.
To date there ares three, hundred
and fifty-two enrolled in the Acad-
envy, one hundred and seventy-flve
taking the Commercial Course and
the remainder, one hundred and sew
enty-seven, the College course.
Contrary to the former custom of
wasting the fresh enthusiasm of che
beginning year, by allowing it 20
wane, the committee in charge have
arranged to hold the first Social
Hour, Thursday afternoon from $50
to 5, with the intent that it serve to
allow the school to become acquaint-
ed with itself and that those Alumni
who may be soon departing for their
various colleges return once again to
their Alma Mater. Sargents' Orches-
ira has been secured for the after
noon and the usual good time is an

FRIDAYS CONCERT
Miss Swift and Miss Gulick of
Boston the Artists

The concert at Underclyffe Friday
evening for the benefit of the Red
Gross will give the music lovers OF
st. Johnsbury lare opportunity to
hear two noted Boston artists, Miss
Bertha w. Swift and Miss Anne Gu
lick. Years of study in Europe and
this country have given Miss Swift
a remarkable basis for her art and
she has appeared on the concert
stage in Chicago, Boston and other
musical centers of New Englands~
Mr.. Parker of the Boston Tran
script reported of a recital at which
Miss Swift sang English, German
and French songs: at was evident
that she belongs to the too small list
of Boston singers who can give a
long recital of songs in various
moods and schools without wearying
either herself or the audience. Miss
Swift is to be especially thanked for
singing most Of her program in Eng
fish, too much out of fashion of late
in our concerts"

ONLY As AMENDMENTS!

The Caledonian printed today the
news that the German peace treaty
has been finally reported to the Sen
ate with four reservations and only
As amendments. The reservations
include the varioue points that the
opponents to the League have con-
tested for and it now remains to be
seen what its fate will be in the Sem
ate which is the treaty making pow
er of the United States. In the
meantime President Wilson is swing
ing around the circle and delivering
sledge hammer blows for his we'll
known views on the question. Verify,
the end is not yet, though we firm
ly believe that we shall eventually
have not only peace with Germany
but League of Nations.

Imagine the minister's surprise when he calls with his sister one night to warn the widow he wants to marry against her unconventional habits to find one man under her bed and another In the closet of her room. This is the situation that leads up to the satisfying climax of "The Misleading Widow" the comedy drama starring Billie Burke, which comes to the Strand Monday
 Miss Burke is said to have one of the best roles that has yet been sup piled her for the screen as Betty Tara dine.
 In little New England village lives Mrs. Betty Taradine. Several years previous her husband left her, soon after their marriage, because of her extravagance. As the story opens she is causing much gossip In the town because she and her chum, Penelope Moon, are entertaining an army colo nel wounded in the war and on sick leave. Especially exercised over Betty's unconveptinlality are the Rev. Ambrose Liptrof and his unmarried sister, Tibi- tha who call upon her to remonstrate.
 Betty is concerned over more serious problems. She has overdrawn her balance at the bank and cannot pay the tradesmen, who come to her house daily clamoring for their money. Suddenly she has an idea that will supply her with funds. For years she has re- ceived no word fr om her husband His life insurance policy is in her possess sion. Why not announce his death" and collect the principal? At once she writes herself telegram saying that MT. Taradine "died" in South Africa. She dons an attractive black costume, and the Rev. Ambrose comes around to sympathize-and to propose! Betty laughingly refuses him.
 Suddenly complications come thick and fast. On the scene arrives a Cap

 But in America she does not find making living su easy, she starts out giving street shows with an Italian volinist. The theatrical magnate is put to it by the dancers disappearance. because he has already billed her for his theatres. However, undiss .ayed, he makes a bet that he can find someone to impersonate the famous dancer.

FRANKLIN THEATRE OFFERS
 FINE BILLS FOR ALL WEEK

Mae Murray in '"The Delicious Little Devil" In this picture Miss Murray has a typical role in which she plays the part of cabaret dancer, which of course comes natural to the former star of the Ziegfeld Follies and other shows
 ",The Delicious Little Devir' is hailed as the greatest Murray picture ever made. It was directed by Robert z. Leon ard, now her husband, and is unusually gorgeous in mounting and costumes John B. Clymer and Harvey Thew wrote the story, which Thew put into scenario form.
 Miss Murray is cast as Mary McGuire, a girl of the tenements, who just can't make her feet behave. She loses her place as a hat check girl by doing skirt dance just as the manager happens into the place. Confronted with the task of providing not only for herself, but for a miscellaneous crew of worthless relatives, Mary Is seized with bold idea.
 She reads in a newspaper want ad" seeking a dancer with a past who is wanted at a notorious roadhouse- She invents a past that qualities her for

HIGHER PAY FOR
 STUDIO EMPLOYES

Still higher prices for rentals is indi- cated in the action of the Los Angeles producers meeting the demands of studio employees for a larger wage. Motion pie ture- makers are builders of more than pictures. They construct buildings or many types and many materials. They employ men and women fpom wide variety of trades and also a large num- Der of the unskilled.
 Due to the conciliatory attitude of the producers, to their acquiescence in the principle of collective bargaining, the settlement was effected without interrup- tion of work. The resultant additions to the pay rolls, together with the in- crease of from 40 to 70 per cent in the cost of materials entering into picture making, will mean ihigher prices for film rentals-prices which the exhibitor will have to meet and which he will be obliged to pass on to his customers

THE MISLEADING WIDOW"
 COMES TO STRAND MONDAY

tain Peter Rymill, friend and aide of Colonel Preedy Betty recognizes him at once. He is her long lost husband, and they have a momentous chat to- gether, alone. Having a rather grim sense of humor. Rymill agrees to play dead and allow Betty to go on with her deception. But, despite himself, he begins to fall in love with his dainty wife anew. One of the first things he does is to go to the village and se- creteiy pay her bills, not, however. un- noticed by the scandalized eyes of the Liptrotts.
 Quickly sensing Rymill's change of heart toward her, Bettty decides to play a woman's game with him. So she pretends to focus her affection on Colonel Preedy, who finds them not at all welcome. because he is in love with Penelope. Rymill is thrown upon Penelope for company. Since she has lost her heart to the Colonel every body is miserable. On the night be- fore the men are to leave for camp, Colonel Freely steals into the room where Betty is sleeping to secure a picture of Penelope which he has ob- served on her dressing table. Hearing approaching footsteps, he hides in Bet tvs closet. Rymill tiptoes in and, bending over his sleeping wife, kisses her farewell. Betty awakens, explana tions quickly follow, and the four lovers are made eternally happy.

Three of the best known stars of the films will appear upon the screen of the Colonial Theatre this week, mak- ing up a varied and pleasing bill. Mary Miles Minter in "Yvonne from Paris, " Margarita Fisher in Tiger Lily" and Mary Pickford in The Eagles Mate" are the attractions offered motion picture enthusiasts.
 Mary Miles Minter is the attraction Monday and Tuesday in her latest screen production, "Yvonne from Paris an interesting comedy drama which gives the charming young star one of the best roles of her career.
 Miss Minter is cast as a dancer, be- Joseph Morisson of 5i2 West 1Ath street. New York; who served 24 years in the French army, resembles Marshal Focb so closely that the naked eye wonders if it hasn't a mote or two in it.
 Of course, the publicity man would find it difficult to persuade Captain Morisson to undertake such a hoax, with General Pershing and self-centered New York newspapers as the. victims, and undoubt- edly. unless he had a Wilsonian com mand of augmentation, his little pIes, would miss fire.
