Charlie Chaplin Forgotten By Little Ones While Miriam Pauline Lustig En- tertains.

Charlie Chaplin and the rest of the fun makers so dear to the hearts of the youngsters were forgotten when the home of Miriam Pauline Lustig, 173 Catherine street was transform ed into veritable Fairyland yester- day while little Miss Lustig entertain- ed a number of her friends at a party celebrating her sixth birthday.
 The kiddies enjoyed themselves playing games, dancing and singing. Later they all sat down to a table temptingly spread with fancy ices, cakes, sandwiches and dainties that bring delight to the hearts of young sters.
 The color scheme was carried out in red and white, floral decorations being violets and roses. During the Little Miriam was crowned by her friends the Queen of May.
 Mrs. D. J. Lustig, Miss Ernestine Lustig and Mrs. J. Downey rendered to the wants of the little ones.
 Those present were the Misses Kathleen McDonough. Katheryn Far rell, Eileen Green. Rose Mark. Li1- Han Slossberg. Ida Moasch, Marion Downey. Miriam Lustig, Masters Bud Farrell. Jack Green, Charles Bohn, Vinsent McKelvey, Jack Mark and Capt" John Downey, Jr.

LYRIC.
(Review.)

(Rev1ew-D
 Good old Irish wit predominates Throughout the story of My Irish Rose" played at. the Lyric last night With the return of Miss Alice Glenn ents the Poli leading woman, har- mony prevailed throughout the entire presentation of the charming comedy drama based on a theme of vital in terest, yet coupled with the romantic flashes of a pretty love story. The play is in three acts and involves the question of Irish freedom.
 Produced for the first time on any stage, the action takes place during the latter part of May in New York city. The play is apropos to the present time, and makes one feel as if the scenes being enacted were actual incidents.
 The part of Rose Mulligan, the Irish Rose, is played by Miss Clements. She lives the part of the pretty Irish maid, whose love for Ireland and it's free dom is mingled wirn ardent admira- ton she bears for America under whose flag she is leading the life of a true spirited citizen Miss May B. Hurst, as Mrs. Mulligan, is splendid. Her Irish accent is admirable and she offers all the comedy of the clever play. Her happy, sunshiny charac- ter, with tho usual good old Irish jokes, makes her a lovable and anus ing Irish mother.
 Clay Clement as Arthur Eardsley son of Andrew Eardsley, played by Willard Dashie1l, is the youth with the true American spirit who learns to love the Irish maid with a Yankee persistency, but is mistaken for an enemy of the Irish cause through the trI. 70 L. Tommy MulIigan, Roses brother played by Jack McGrath, is brought into the secret meetings of a number of anarchists, with the belief that he is helping out the Irish cause. When Patsy Murphy. played by Grant Err win. is shot, Tommy Mulligan Is held, and the ciimox, tense and dramatic, furnished some real thrills. But the wits of a woman win over those of the stronger sex and thep roblem Is solved in a most novel way by Roses sweetheart.

STORIES ABOUT STARS THAT YOU LIKE TO SEE SHINE
LEWIS ENGAGED

Louis Mayer has annexed SheI- don Lewis as a star and is to exploit him very shortly in a series of fea- ture films of an unusual nature. MT. Lewis has just finished supporting Virginia Pearson in "The Bishops Emeralds" and the excellence of his work in this production and in some of his former character roles is said to have prompted the offer made to star him on his own account. ''The Monster and the Man is the first Sheldon Lewis picture and has been completed under direction of Jack O'Brien. There are few better char acter actors than MT. Lewis and those who have seen his work are not sur prised at this opportunity.

SCREEN AND STAGE:
 j.
HE MUST KNOW

Henry King, director for Plying A is authority for the Statement that there are fewer one-legged men in and about Santa Barbara than in any other locality in the United States. It happened like this: King needed one-legged man to play the part of Pegleg, a character bit in his pie ture. An ad in the Santa Barbara papers failed to bring any response, though it was run for three days. Numerous automobile trips through out the country also proved 1SC-."e. Eventually King summoned from a little town sixty miles distant a one legged man about whom the studio night watchman had told him. The crippled one is enjoying his first ex- perience before the camera-and his first salary, too.

THE EFFICIENCY
 OF ADVERTISING

.yf When as the result of advertising a business is doubled, the rent is not commonly increased very much. It is not probable that the item of clerk hire is doubled. Nor have other ex-' penses increased in like proportion. If a man is selling 5000 articles annually at S1 each, and if rent, clerk hire. and other expenses amount to s2.600. he must ad1l 50 cents to the price of each article sold to cover ex- penses.
 Now if by advertising he increases sales to 10000 articles, and if costs of doing business have risen only to. $500, the expense charge which he has to add to price of each article is, reduced from 50 cents to 30 cents He can still add five cents per article as additional profit, and then sell 10. cents per article under prices on a n advertising basis.
 I'hus advertising reduces cost Of goods by enabling a merchant to in- crease business, and cut down ex- pense charge on each article sold

Plan For Next Season.

Now is the time to plan and begin
a fall and winter campaign against
the boil weevil, says the extension
service entomologist of Clemson Col,
lepe.
First, pick cotton as rapidly as pos.
sible not only on account of the boil
weevil but as. a wise farming .prac.
tice, and destroy every cotton stalk
as early as possible.
Second, follow an intelligent pro.
gram of seed selection, clear farm
ing and the planting of cover crops
as most important element in tie
boil weevil fight as}well as n the
general development of southern
farming. g.. -.
Third, make early and ample prep
aration for increasing your livestock,
fencing your land and preparing for
pastures and grazing crops to occupy
some of your former cotton acreage.
The boil weevil eats neither corn,
velvet beans, peanuts nor hogs.

WANT SPRINGS FOR GOVERNOR

Greenville, Sept. 30.-Col. Holmes
B. Springs, according to a story in
the Greenville Piedmont, is being
urged by friends in every part of the
State to enter the gubernatorial race
next year. He admits having receiv-
ed numerous offers of support in
this connection, but states that he
has given no definite answer to his
friends. Col. Springs was discharged
from the military service in April,
after having served more than twen-
ty years. He was one of the best
known and most popular officers Of
the Thirtieth Division, serving in
France as commander of. trains with
this division, also as acting division
quartermaster and acting G-1.
Col. Springs has announced his in
tention to give up his residence in
Georgetown and remove to Green
vile.

SUPPLYING GREEN FEED
FOR POULTRY IN WINTER

If the best results are to be OBJ
tanned with poultry they must be fur
nished with a plentiful supply of
green feed. Where fowls have un-
limited range on farm they will Sc
cure green feed during the spring,
but during the winter it must be sup
piled for them. The question Of
how to supply the best feed at the
least cost is one that each poultry
keeper must decide largely for hin1-
self. It will probably make but little
difference what kind of green feed
is supplied, provided it is relished by
the fowls. Cabbages, turnips, beets,
potatoes, etc., are suitable for this
purpose. The larger roots and the
cabbages may be suspended by means
of a wire or string, or they may be
placed on the floor, in which case it
would Re well to split the turnlrs or
beets lengthwise with large knife.
Potatoes and turnips should be fed
cooled. The mangel is an excellent
root for feeding raw. Cut clover
soaked in boiling water fed alone or
with the mash is good. Clover meal
and ground alfalfa make very good
feeds for this purpose. Where the
fowls are yarded and not enough
green feed is furnished by the yard,
small patch of clover, alfalfa, or
rape may be sown. Any one of these
if frequently moved, will furnish a
great quantity of green feed in a
form which is relished by the fowls.
Canada field peas may also be soWn
for this purpose, and when fed in a
tender, crisp condition are eaten
readily.

CONCENTRATED CIDER WILL
KEEP SWEET INDEFINITELY

Sweet cider, rendered commerce.
ally possible the year around by
concentration, looms up as healthfui
oasis in the arid desert Of national
prohibition, and opens a profitable
outlet for windfall apples, say the
SPECIALISTS of the Bureau of Chemis-
try, United States Department OF
Agriculture.
They have developed process for
concentrating sweet cider which con.
sists essentially of freezing the fresh
apple Juice, grinding the frozen pro-
duct, and then by means OF a centri-
fugal process, separating the essen
tial cider solids from the frozen wa
ter, in much the same way that cream
is separated from milk. Five gallons
of cider can be reduced by this pro-
cess to one gallon of sirupy cider
concentrate. This cider concentrate,
being SO much less in bulk, can be
shipped and stored much more eco
nomically than the bulky fresh cider.
It is also easier to keep sweet when
concentrated. When it is desired to
use the cider concentrate it can be
restored to its original bulk, condi.
ton, and flavor simply by the addi-
tion of ordinary drinking water.
Concentrated cider will keep sweet
much longer than in its original con-
dition, and in cold storage it will
keep sweet indefinitely. Its reduced
bulk makes it practicable to keep il
in cold storage. The concentrated
product thus promises to make fresh
cider available at soda fountains
throughout the summer months.
This product, to be profitable,
should be made on fairly large
scale, and preferably in connection
with a commercial ice plant located
near an apple section. Since the ci-
der season is short it is doubtful
whether it would be profitable to
erect a refrigerating plant solely fol
the purpose of freezing the cider.
AS by-product or side line to regu-
lar ice plant the cost of the process
would be reduced materially, as the
cider-making season comes at the
very time when the demand for ice is
greatly diminished by the approach
of cold weather. AS the concentrate
ed cider has not yet been marketed
on commercial scale, those propos-
ing to undertake the process should
first satisfy themselves that they

RAILROAD NEWS
P Passenger Rates Show
Only Triling Changes Here

New passenger rates are now In
order on all railroads. The changes
are so trifling that no list has beer
offered for the benefit of the public.
Passengers buying tickets, unless
they are frequent travellers will not
know there is n change. There arc
increases and decreases. Both vary
from one to four cents. The new
changes are known as interdivisional
rates.
AS an example it costs one ceht
more to ride from Altoona to New
York, but the rate from Harrisburg
is unchanged. 1t is four cents less
from Harrisburg to Washington, ID.
c. The rates are not changed on the
various divisions only from one di-
vision to another, the aim in revis-
ion being to place them strictly on
a mileage basis instead of arbitrary
rates as sometimes occurred in the
old tariff. The purpose is to keep
as close to three cents a mile on each
division as is possible. AS far US
Harrisburg patrons are concerned ii
is said there is nothing to worry
about, the difference between the
old and new rates being so slight
and only affecting rates to certain
points,
