Seena Owen in
"The House of Toys"
For Wednesday

These three-wife, husband and
"other woman"-are the outstanding
characters of 1.-THE House of Toys"
the big super production built on
Henry Russell Miller's novel and
just released as a Flying A Special,
which will be seen Wednesday at
the Colonial theatre. Seena Owen
carries the leading role and acts to
perfection the pretty, inexperienced,
impulsive girl who had imagined it
would be vastly romantic to be the
helpmate of struggling architect,
rich only in big ideas and great as
pirations. This is Miss Owens mi.
tial venture in stellar role and those
who have watched her steady growth
as leading woman for some of the ia
nous male stars in the screen firm
ament will be more than interested
in seeing how she acquits herself
under her new honors.
Pell Trenton is convincing in the
part Of the young husband-an ideal
list who is more of an artist than a
business man; loving, honorable
husband, too loyal to his wife to adj
glaring selfishness. extravaganza and
lack of consideration of which his
once upon time Dream Girl is
guilty. The part of the business girl
who enters his lonely life is beauti-
fully interpreted by the rarely love-
ly and intelligent young actress,
Helen jerome Eddy. Popular George |
Hernandez, Henry Barrows, Marian |
Skinner, Lillian Leighton, Perry |
Banks, William Buckley, Nadine |

new serial, will begin Wednesday at !
the Colonial. 1t has won the most
popularity of any serial yet present
ed and has already made booking
that puts it in the 200 per cent. class,
being likely to reach a circulation far
beyond anything thought possible for
a picture.

ruptions Of service occurred, and on
both occasions the conditions were
much more aggravated by leaks and
wastage Of water.
THE company has never employed
any regular superintendent whose
business it would be to inspect the
plant at frequent intervals and
thereby speedily detect and correct
leaks. wastage and such other de-
fects as might be found to exist. This
service has heretofore been per-
formed by the president of the COM
pany without any compensation, and
he has given it such attention as his
other duties would permit, but not at
ali times sufficient to enable the sys-
tenn to be maintained at it's highest
efficiency.
THE company now proposes to
make certain improvements in it's
system. which it is hoped will great
ly diminish, if it does not entirely
eliminate the trouble from frozen
pipes, and it also intends to make
regular and frequent inspections of
the whole system. BY this means, it
is expected that undue waste Of the
water will be practically eliminated.
and that leaks and other defects in
the system will be discovered and re-
paired without any further serious
interruption Of service.
ut is the hope and expectation of
the company that these changes and
improvements will entirely remove
the cause of complaint, and that
practically continuous service may
hereafter be renderd. Under these
circumstances. we believe that the
pending complaint, although justified
by conditions existing at the time it
was made, may now be dismissed"

The Castine Conference

A communication was sent out
Monday by DR.. Augustus o. Thomas
State superintendent of schools, to all
superintendent of schools announc-
ing that the Castine Conference will
convene Monday evening, July -,
and close the following Friday after
noon. The date is a few days later
than usual but follows the conven-
ton of the New England Association
and gives opportunity for attendance
upon that meeting.
1T is my hope this year to make a
rather informal conference, discuss
ing in an intimate way the problems
of the superintendent over the
State" says DR.. Thomas in his COM
munication.
THE question of the adjustment of
the salary schedule, teachers con-
tracts. helping teachers, Names rank
and rating among the states of the
union, the evolution of a progressive
program for school advancement,
physical education program, high
school standards, industrial educa-
ton. Americanization and various
other subjects will come up for care
full consideration.
IF any question or questions occur
to you shall be glad if you will send
them to me that they may be formu-
lated in our program. The forenoons
will probably be devoted to the gen.
eral conference and the afternoons to
group formations. 1t is hoped to
nave sufficient time for recreation,
the annual baseball game, camp fires,
clam bakes. etc.
1T seems well at this time to ask
the superintendent to bring with
them to the Castine Conference their
annual statistical reports. Arrange
ments will be made at that time to
check them over. The travelling ex
pense accounts should also be
brought so that these matters may be
discussed and understood"

Result Of Disputes as to Rela-

The Islanders will return home
tomorrow from Cedar Rapids, but
not to perform at Douglas park. In
stead the team is scheduled to clash
with the Plow Boys at Browning
field in the first Of the inter-city
contests. Three games will be
played with Moline, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, after which
Cedar Rapids will come here for
Saturday and a double-header on
Sunday. The Flows then will jour
ney to Douglas park on Monday,
the observance Of Memorial day,
and engage the Tighemen in twin
attraction. Tuesday, June l., is an
open date for Rock Island.
The inter-city games promise to
arouse an immense amount Of en-
thusiasm. Already Moline fans are
ready to wager the family plate
that the Flows finish aLead of the
Islanders in the league standing at
the end Of the season, and Islander
supporters are just as eager and
ready to hook the heirlooms to say
that it can't be done.
Moline seems to have been going
along by fits and jerks thus far,
with good, bad and Indifferent base
ball being dished up by the Mack
men. The pitching the Swedes have
been getting at times has been
brilliant, and then again has fallen
considerably below par. The field

has been good most Of the time,
particularly since the acquisition OF

fielder but VIGOROUSLY weak at bat.

not be held as poor showing be-
cause Of the handicap resulting
from the desertion Of Pitcher Ben

were by a single score. Any kind
of luck would have turned them In
