MABEL NORMAND PICTURE
AT THE LYRIC MATINEES

The very yellow and musical canary
which was presented to little Frankie
Lee by Geraldine Farrar, the Go1dwyn
star, was given a part in Mabel Nor
mands newest Goldwyn photoplay,
'JinX," which will be presented at the
Lyric theatre matinees all this week.
In the picture little frankie is one of
the children in an orphan asylum when
the Jinx (Mabei Normand escapes
from a travelling circus and finds shell
ter in the home. She conceives the
idea of staging a burlesque circus in
the back yard. OF course, the got is
marvelously transformed into an ele-
plant, and the other farm beasts be-
come the snowy animals of the ring.
frankie brought his canary, whose
name is "Caruso," to the studio.
"Caruso' should play in the circus
scenes, too he insisted. Director Victor
Schertzinger looked obviously at the
tiny songster. frankie Lee, with up
turned eyes and chin, can be very APP
pealing. The director didn't like to
refuse this lovable little juvenile play
err and yet-whoever saw a canary in
circus? The matter was suddenly
settled. There was a scream and a
flutter of wings against the bars of
the cage as the studio cat come sneak
ing across the grass toward her prey
A tragedy was just averted by Mabel
Normand's quick movement in swing
ing the cage from the ground.
you see, frankie, it wouldn't be
safe for your bird to play in the pic
ture.''
ITO punish tabby' suggested Miss
Normand. I'VE win lock him up in
cage, too"
The cat will be leopard" said
frankie.
Good idea agreed the director. SO
the striped studio cat in the orphans
backyard circus has closeup of her
very own.

THE KISS BURGLAR" AT
JEFFERSON NEW YEAR

"rhe Kiss Burglar the musical
offering selected to be the New Years
attraction at the Jefferson theater,
matinee and night, is said to contain
more tuneful tunes ana more musical
music than any Broadway success pro-
quced in years Seldom is it that a
musical offering can boast of a dozen
distinct musical hits, but this is true
of ''The Kiss Burglar" each one Of
which appeals TO the voiceless because
they are distinctly hummable, to the
singers because they can be sung, and
to those who can neither sing nor hum
because they are sure they have heard
them before, and the melody haunts
them. So this is why many claim the
real smile in "The Kiss Burglar" is the
music, it is one of those sweetly SIM
pie and simply sweet scores that spells
POPULARITY

Amount for Bond Jumps
With Increase In Thefts

With other expenses, the cost of roguery
has advanced. Persons accused of bur
glary and grand larceny will find it nee
essary to make bond in sums about 800
per cent over the old quotations
Heretofore bonds for such conduct in
constituencies have been made in sums Of
the $3.50 vicinity, now it will cost $1,000
flat to walk about outdoors while await
ing trial.
Word came from Judge II. B. Aber-
nethy's office yesterday that cases of
the sort mentioned, when handled by
the county court of misdemeanors, will
entail the employment of the said $1,000.
The steadily growing number of grand
larceny and burglary cases is responsible
for the raise. In the Norwood section
alone there were eight such cases during
the month; two a week, and December
still running OIL.
A scanning of records shows that tho
number of such cases has increased 50
per cent recently, so the bond market
isfquoted to keep pace with the advance
in business.

eral maintenance has been carried on
which are not specifically mentioned in
this report. 1t is again necessary to
draw your attention to the neglect of
the bitches on your roads. They in
vite your attention to a letter which
your Engineer has received from the
Division Highway Engineer, Mr.. Will
liams. On discovering the condition
the first intention of MI. Williams was
to withhold State money until the work
in question has been attended to. Your
Engineer, however, persuaded him not
to take this step.
Your Road Committee, your Finance
Committee, your Engineer and your
assistant Engineer met with the exec
utive committee of the State Highway
Commission at Atlantic City on June
21st. They were allowed thirty-three
minutes to explain their plans and pro-
jects. The executive committee re-
marked that Salem County seemed to
be the only county to come before them
with definite plans. They favored re-
surfacing of the road from Penns
Grove to Salem. They favored buy
ing the Marlboro-Quinton Turnpike.
They will give no ideas as to the plans
for future work. 1t is very difficult
for your committee to plan for future
work when so little is known of the
plans of the commission. Your En-
gineer is now making a survey FOR that
portion of the Pointers-Auburn Road
lying between Courses Landing and
Auburn. He would like to start the
other survey on next years work be-
fore the August meeting of your
Board. Your commission hesitates to
direct him to do SO as they do not
know whether the commission will
grant your requests or only a part of
your requests. Your committee does
not desire to direct surveys for work
which will not be done next year.
Contractors Estimate Allowed
The Road Committee offered a sup
Elemental contract in which they re-
ported having Investigated the work
on the 4th and 5th sections of the Nal
aga-Penns Grove road and found the
condition. had been greatly improved.
The committee had therefore approx
ed the contractors estimate for the
month. They also recommended that
this work be closely watched here
after.

Farm Help Scarce

The greatest farm problem is to get
sufficient help, till and gather crops.
Farmers report it more difficult this
year than during the war;.
The prevailing wages are from $50
to $50 a month with board, with short
hours, while the farmer, his wife and
children work from sun rise to sun
set. Dairy men begin sooner.
Notwithstanding the high cost of
food, most farm hands can work half
the time and live with no ambition
to work all the time and save for
future needs or to become capitalists.
While there is complaint of high cost
of food, most do not want to help
grow it.
