LITTLE BEN ALEXANDER WITH
MISS BARRISCALE TOMORROW

Little Ben Alexander, the child
wonder of the screen who made such
q decided hit in The Turn in The
Road" and Hearts of the World"
Goes another remarkable bit of acting
in "Josselyn's Wife" the Bessie bar
riscale production released by Exhibi-
tors Mutual and shown al the Strand
Theater Tuesday.
AS Tommy Josselyn in the play lit
tie Ben is the innocent cause of his
grandfather's death and his fathers
conviction for the murder of Josselyn,
Sr., but in the end his explanation of
how his grandfather came to his I'M
timely end, saves his father from a
life sentence in prison and re-unites
his parents happily.
This is probably the most exacting
role the little chap has ever done, but
he succeeds admirably in adding a
pathetic thrill to the picture. This
marvellous child's powers of mimicry
have a real test when he reproduces
wildly for his mother the death scene
of the old man, and furnishes the clue
to the murder mystery.

GREAT DRIVE OF
METHODISM IS
ON IN EARNEST

The great Centenary drive of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
was well under way throughout the
country today, with many churches In
the states of Georgia, Florida and
Alabama already over the top. The
latter group includes the Lee Street
Methodist church of Americas. which
entered the campaign with it's quota
Of $4,000 passed, total of more than
$1,000 being reported.
The First Methodist church commit
tees last night reported $4,000 of its
5-year quota of $4,000 already rails
ed, with the prospects for reaching or
passing the goal excellent. IL was
said by Chairman H. E. Allen that
none of the committees had yet been
able to make a full and complete
report.
The drive opened Sunday at noon,
and Immediately after dinner the COM
mittees began their canvassing work
1t was said that wherever the commit
tees had not completed their tasks Wig
orous work would continue throughout
the week.
Rev o. B. Chester, of Dawson, pc
siding elder for the district, opened
the drive at the First Methodist
church, preaching powerful sermon
ON the Centenary movement, and chal-
longing the laymen of the church to
prove to the world that Protestant
Christianity could meet the test in
which all other religions had failed
in this time of world cataclysm and
world crisis. He declared that the
spread of religion was the only hope
of the world of the future in escaping
greater horrors than the past war
produced.

Big Jobs Are Filled by the
Men Who Produce the Results

Some men are cursed with the abili-
ty to do chores. They a do all the
little tinkering jobs well and can't get
busy with the big one until all the
petty tasks receive attention. To be
sure the great man is master of details.
He will know every step in his bust
ness. But he will delegate to others
what belongs to their work. No man
can be the brains for the whole bust
ness. Neither can he be the handy
mar for the concern and direct its
policy at the same time. If he is the
business is small. Where you find a
mar who delights more in winding the
clock that he does in keeping his desk
clear you can mark him factotum and
recommend him to any one of a thou
sand big firms that need a handy man.
But that's as far as he will get. The
big places are filled by men who get
down to business.

Quicklime to
Keep Potatoes From Rotting
When Stored in Damp Places

The French department of agricul-
ture lately issued the following indi-
cations as to the best method of pre-
serving potatoes against rotting, such
as is likely to occur in damp places.
By employing the proper method, it
is possible to diminish the dampnesS
within the piles where the air does not
enter or only circulates very slowly.
TO avoid this, a substance which alb.
serbs water and having no action up
on the potato must be employed, and
for this purpose it is found that lime
is the best substance, as it costs least,
is easy to handle, and is best known.
In practice the method can be ap-
piled in the following way. 1t is to be
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being well cleaned be-
forehand, they commence to eXude
moisture, and must be gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
four inches of well dried potatoes is
s%prinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside of the pile. When sort
ing as above stated, the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
a dryer or baking in a furnace; or they
can be sent to a starch factory if one
is near by. AS to the amount of lime
to be used, the proper quantity is
about ten pounds of lime to 1000
pounds of potatoes.

Should Learn to Know Trees
When Without Their Leaves

No tree lover should be content to
know the trees only in summer. The
summer trees may be more beautiful
than the bare trees of winter, but it is
the l~eafless tree that most clearly be-
trays the specific arboreal characteris-
tic. Leaves are distinctive, but the
distinction is somewhat superficial, for
the leaves are no more than the sum .
mer dress. When the leaves are COMO
the tree stands more truly disclosed.
Yet comparatively few of those who
Familiarity know the trees of summer
can readily recognize all their friends
in the honest nudity of winter.

Lake of Salt in Australia
Supplies an Immense Crop
Carts and PloWS Are Used

In South Australia there is q won
derful lake of pure salt. 1t is a huge
depression in the earth which fills up
in the winter months. In the summer
the water quickly e%vaporates, leaving
a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface Of the
lake has all the appearance of being
covered with a sheet of ice. The salt
is so thick that strong men and even
carts and plows can traverse it with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is a considerable body of slugf
gish water. After the rays of the sum
mer sun have played their part, Tho
salt is gathered. This is a simple
operation, the salt being raked ints
heaps, making pyramids that are s.
striking feature of the landscape. Til
conveyed to various works to undergo
the process of refining. ~
Gathering the salt is trying work -
account of the great heat and the daZ7
zling reflection, and it is often neces-
sary for the workers to wear colored
glasses to protect their eyes. After
the loose salt has been collected from
the surface a pillow is run over it,
when another harvest of the valuable
material can be reaped. The yield
of salt from this strange lake amounts
to several thousand tons a year, and
it is among the finest obtainable. The
lake is several square miles in area

demonstrations, it is said, will un-

Big Leagues Must
Make First MOUe
To Restore Draft

According to President David l..
Fultz. of the New international
League. the first move toward re-
establishment of any working agree
ment between the major and minor
leagues must come from the majors.
1t appears the reports Of the Nation
al Association meeting in Springfield
last month were misleading, if not
erroneous, in some particulars.
Fultz last night substantiated his
contention from the minutes of the
meeting in question. This stated
very clearly that the committee ap-
pointed to confer with the major
leagues had powers to effect a salts
factory agreement IN CASE THE
MAJOR LEAGUES WERE DESTROYS
OF ESTABLISHING OLD TIME
WORKING CONDITIONS.
However, it was not purposed to
resurrect the old agreement. If ma
jor league draft is restored it will
be at prices far in excess of the scale
that prevailed before.

Penn Apologies
To Rival Elevens
For Playing PRO-

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. s.-The foot
ball committee of the University of
Pennsylvania announced tonight that
an apology would be sent to the
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania State Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, and Lafayette
College teams, against which Walter I.
Pearce, substitute halfback. played
as q member Of the Pennsylvania team.
The statement said that Pearce had ad-
mitted that he played professional
baseball last summer, making him in
eligible to be q member of the Penn
sylvania football team.
Pearce played in the Three-I League
part of last summer and joined the
Chicago Nationals in the last month
Of the season. Pearce, the statement
said, reported late for football prac-
tice this season and avoided signing
the statement of amateur standing, and
was overlooked because he reported
after all other players had signed.
Pearce was not permitted to play foot
ball after the coaches learned of his
ssionalism.
The committee took no action in the
case Of Ben Derr, regular member of
the eleven, who is alleged to have
played professional football this sea-
son, because Yumors affecting his
amateur standing were not admitted
by Derr nor proven to be true.
Unofficially, it was said that the
athletic council at meeting on Thurs
day will take action toward new
standard of athletic eligibility and will
insist that all teams it plays live up
to it. Heretofore Pennsylvania has
never questioned the amateur standing
of members of opponent teams. 1t was
also said that other members of the
1919 varsity team who have played
professional football since he season
closed on Thanksgiving Day may be
deprived Of their college letter
