Before saying much about the le2o
Presidential campaign. It may be pro-
fitable to go back to 1919 and refresh
ones memory as to what occurred
then. President Wilson was reelected
by 277 electoral votes to 254 for
Justice Hughes.
TWELVE VOTES WE'RE PIVOTAL
President Wilson was twenty-three
votes ahead In the electoral count
and a change OF only twelve votes
would have elected the Republican
nominee. As is well known, the cleo
tion of Hughes seemed certain the
early part of election night. Presi-
dent Wilson had a plurality on the
popular vote of 5S+.s4l.
In that campaign, President Wilson
carried California by the narrow mar
gin OF assoc votes and Kansas by 38.-
$50 votes. Both these States, the
Republicans at that time expected to
carry. Ohio. Utah. Washington, Neb-
raska, New Hampshire and North
Dakota were among the States which
President Wilson captured. Minne-
sofa went for Hughes only by close
figure. 1t was a remarkably close
election, all things considered.

HOW CAHA1ilS ARE TRAINED
French Expert Explains His Method
Of Teaching the Birds to Pro-
duce Sweet Notes.

Parisfans are so passionately fond
of canaries that it ia estimated there
are 100000, of these birds in the
City Of Light. Writing in the Wide
World magazine: Henri GaiIlard. rhe
famous French canary trainer gives
some interesting particulars regarding
his method of teaching his pets to
sing.
1.-The musical training Of my pupils"
he says. sis conducted with the aid of
q bird whistle or f1ageoIet A fort
night after the young bird has learned
to feed itself 1t is put into solitary
cage, where. if it is male. it soon
begins to warble. The cage is then
covered with white muslin and its oc-
cupant is fed on cola seed and bread
soaked in water. During the first
week Of isolation l. don't allow. him to
hear the song of any other bird, and
during the second week play only
few notes o: medium pitch every
morning before his cage. After this
l advise covering the cage with very
thick green or red serge, thus keeping
the, bird in darkness until it has
learned a few short musical phrases.
How long does. it take to train a
canary to sing properly? Well, that
all depends on the birds aptitude. I
should say the time varies from two
to six months"

MARY PlCKFORD PLAYS
THE GLAD GIRL"-REX

The elixir of child's love and It's
power to straighten the viewpoint OF
men and women whose outlook on
life has become distorted will be
demonstrated at the Rex theatre, for
the last time tonight. when Mary
Pickford appears in "Pollyanna," her
first United Artists production.
This picture-play differs from any
of Little Mary's recent productions
in that she portrays a little girl
throughout the entire picture.
There is a depth of feeling in this
picture that has never been shown
in any other production. Miss Pick
ford put all the delicate shading into
her work that only a great artist is
capable Of. She often carries her
audience to tear an then suddenly
snaps the tension by a bit of quaint,
laugh-provoking comedy.
There will also be a two reel Billie
West comedy.
