She would not discuss the
freak stories of which she has been
the subject"
Broke Into Pictures.
This same characteristic was found
upon visiting Mrs. Vigran at Milton.
She refused to discuss the topic at
length and stated that she did not
know how the fact became known that
she was relative of the actress.
The story of how Miss Bara came to
be movie" actress is an interesting
one. 1t is said that she had been to
visit manager to ask for position
and was coming away unsuccessful,
when man who had been in the
office stopped her and offered her a
place in his moving picture company
at salary of SITS week.
She was possessed of naughty con-
tempt of the movies" at that time
and in spite of the munificent salary
turned the offer down.
Visited Studio.
A little later she visited studio to
see how pictures were made, and her
prejudices were dispelled. Later, when
she was offered a position with the
William Fox company, she accepted.
She was with that company for four
and one-half years, and was said to
be drawing a salary of $4,000 week
when she left them to go on the legiti-
mate stage with "The Blue Flame"
In the first picture in which she
played, "a Fool There Was" there
was no name given to the character
she played as it was called the VAN
pire." Her acting in this play made
her a marked object for further vam
pire roles, and she developed the art
to such an extent that when people
think of vampires they think Of Theda
Bara.
May Retire.
According to New York reports she
is about to retire from the stage and
screen. Her bookings with THE Blue
Flame" are said to extend into jan
uary. A screen version of THE Flame"
may be made before she retires.
Miss Bara's reception from critics
since her entrance on the stage has
been varied, but the public has f1ocked
to see her in increasing numbers and
New York papers say that she might
continue indefinitely in the play if
she desired.

PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS
DESTROYS CROPS IN
ARGENTINE PROVINCE
(Ry Associated Press)


BUENOS AIRES, Dec. ia plague
of locusts, like that which in ancient
Egypt covered the face of the earth, -
this year descended upon the province
OF Santa Fe. Similar offensives are
almost annual events in one part or
another of Argentina.
The locusts come suddenly and with
out warning. Where for year or sew
eral years perhaps not one of the in
sects has been seen, a veritable cloud
Of them will one day appear and set
tie on the ground. These usually come
from the northwest, from the vast al
most uninhabited tracts in Bolivia, it
is supposed They cover the earth
like a moving carpet, gradually NOV
ing on.
At first little damage is done, aside
from the inconvenience of having liter
ally millions of the insects covering
everything and even penetrating the
houses. But as they progress through
the country they bore holes into the
earth, preferably in hard spots such
as roadways, into which they deposit
their eggs. Within short time the
larva are Matched and come forth. At
first these can not fly, and it is at this
stage that they devour every living
plant within their path, with the ex-
'ception of few species such as will
low trees.
Leave Country a Desert.
A little later the insects develop
their wings and, leaving the country
through which they have passed
desert, they disappear almost as sud
denly as they came. Where they go
to has never been discovered.
Argentina has had recourse to many
methods of fighting the locusts. The
nation maintains organized locust
fighting squads, something like those
formed to fight forest fires, and these
are sent every year to the sections in
vaded. In addition, every rancher is
held responsible for fighting the pest
in his own locality.
One of the methods employed is to
dig trenches in which the insects are
collected, afterward being burned. But
no matter how many millions of them
are made away with in any such man
ner, it is impossible to block the pest
owing to the great extent of Argen-
tina, much of which is still very
sparsely settled.

Inventor of Telephone
: Visits His Birthplace

EDINBURGH. Dec. 15.-Dr. Alexan-
der Graham Bell, the aged inventor of
the telephone, paid the other day
what he described as his farewell visit
to his native city. In reply to COM
pimentary address by the Lord Pro-
vost, Dr. Bell who was warmly
applauded, recalled in an address
some OF his early memories. He said
that although he had spent most of
his time in the United States and had
been an American citizen for so years,
he was glad to be home" once again.
Il feel would like to have last look
around my native city before l grow

Daughter" as a serial in Harper's
Magazine some years ago, attracted
widespread attention. 1t was subse-

success was so great that it was

standard stage attraction for several
seasons and is still presented in

DOORN FOLKS PAY
SLIGHT HEED TO BILL

Doom, Holland. Aug. 5.-Doorn has
already begun to display the same lack
of interest about the former Emperor
William or his doings as was displayed
at Amerongen.
Only the village busybodies, who like
to gossip about everything. speak of
him at all, and they. OF course, try to
make mysteries of everything they
hear. whispering the stories which,
usually. are children Of their own
fancy.
This makes it doubly hard for any
one to find out what really is. going
on, and at the same time accounts for
the numerous rumors that come from
Doom now and then. Williams inn
mediate staff is so close mouthed that
few real fac.s slip out. and the tow
sossips so prolific. on the other hand,
that almost any thing might be trir,
OF everything false.
The Dutch police. who guard the
House of Doom and all of its ap-
proaches. are very jealous and nearly
every foreigner who dares to approach
the House of Doom is either arrested
or sharply questioned.

ROB EXPRESS OFFICE
AT TALLAHASSEE

Tallahassee, Aug. 6.-(SpeeiaI.)-
Some time during Tuesday night the
city office of the American Railway
Express company was entered by a
burglar. 1t was discovered the next
morning that the money drawers and
other places where valuables are kept
had been broken open. but check Of
the Office failed to disclose anything
missing except pistol and perhaps
some small change.
Entrance was effected by forcing
apart the iron bars which protect one
of the back windows of the building.
The lack OF thoroughness with which
the work was done indicates that the
burglar was an amateur. 1t is be-
lieved that the burglar was a small
boy or that boy was used to rob
the Office after the entrance had been
effected, the opening made being not
large enough to have admitted the
body of a large person.
Local officers are at work on the
case.

WHY RIGHT HAND
TIRES WEAR OUT
Slope of Road Causes Weight to Bear
on Right Side of Car.

The fact that tires on the right
hand side of car wear out faster
in proportion than those on the left
hand side, often puzzles motorists.
The popular supposition that this wear
is caused by turning many corners
to the right, is incorrect. The fact
is that the increased wear is actually
caused by the pitch of the road, which
throws more Of the car on the right
side than on the left.
The round Of the road from curb
to curb is far more important in de-
termining the sequence in which tires
normally wear outright rear, left
rear. right front, left front-than is
gutter wear and abrasions from grind
ing off and on pavements.
The slope of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear tire. Thus the
right rear wears the faster Of the two.

BARTER Is ORDER

the peasant wants something more
valuable than the paper constantly
turned out by the Austro- Hungarian
ank.
Prodigious offers of crowns fail
where linen shirt, silk stockings
(even much darned) rugs, musical in
struments, shoes and such things bring
results. The story of how the bour-
geois and poor nobility of Vienna have
parted with the wardrobes and furni-
ture, their pianos and carpets. for food
has been often told. Now every one is
trade.
Visiting a retired army officer in his
little country place the correspondent
saw 1t work. The officer could not
pay 500 crowns for a pair of gloves for
wife and three daughters but he had
three roebuch hides from animals he
had shot this season. He exchanged
them for two dressed hides. The Wiz
lage glover made them into gloves,
taking in payment cider, mutton and
some veal from the little farm.
Then came the problem of stockings

CANAL VALUE Is
TOLD In FIGURES
Statistics on Shipping Through Pan
anna Prepared BY Bank.

The increased value of the Panama
Canal as an American waterway is
illustrated by statistics in a study of
Americas Merchant Marine" by the
Bankers Trust Company Of New
York.
When the canal was opened to ship
ping in 1914 the United States pos
sessed 2,027,000 tons of sea-going ves-
sells. Americas squirt in shipbuilding
during the war more than quadrupled
her sea-going tonnage. The impor-
lance OF the waterway to country
having almost 100000 tons of ocean
going ships is indicated by the dis
lance saved in voyages, 1t cut the
voyage between New York and San
Francisco about 5000 miles and these
ports are only two of Al important
American ports on the Pacific, Gulf
and Atlantic sides of the canal.
The canal, for example, reduced the
water route from Callao, Peru, to
New York from 9,769 miles to 3.779
miles. 1t brought Manila more than
5000 miles nearer to New York, and
eliminated some 300 miles from the
Australian New York route. In the
fiscal year 1919, 2,025 merchant ships
passed through the canal, 1.165 of
them coming from the Pacific to the
Atlantic.
The strategic worth of the water
way is indicated, according to the
Bankers Trust Company, by the
passage through the canal of 1S6 ves-
sells of the American navy during the
same period.
The canal cost about ss7S. oO0, 900,
which was considered a stupendous
outlay at the time Of its construction,
but that amount is little more than
one-tenth of the expenditure which
the United States subsequently au-
thorized for the expansion of its m =
chant marine.

The right front also, according to
Miller tire and tube experts, will wear
more rapidly than the left front, for
the same reason.
However, as the left rear wheel re-
ceives a driving pull while the right
front does not, it will wear the faster
OF the two. Under average conditions
the right rear tire wears out first and
the left front last
To secure uniform wear from a set
of tires, change them around about
once month. Particularly is it i'm
portant to reverse the rear tires. AZ
ter the rear tires are worn down, re-
verse them with the front.
