middle OF a feather bed whenever
it Iightened. Having no feather

Which was most ridiculously fool
ish but comforting. A small girl,
little friend OF mine, happened In
with her mother last evening just
as the tightening began. She is

hands up suddenly before her face
and remarked seriously: "Oh Lord

Now it seems that Germany must not only stand BY

worked heroically within Lens. With dynamite and

OLIVE THOMAS Is
DEAD in PARIS
Former American Stage and Screen
Favorite Dies of Poison.

Paris, Sept. 10.-Olive Thomas, for
merly widely known on the American
musical comedy stage and for several
years past motion picture star, died
at II o'clock this morning at the Amer

swallowed a poisonous solution early
Joseph Choate. the American physician
in charge of the case.
Miss Thomas. who came to Europe
with her husband, Jack Pickford, sew
eral weeks ago, had suffered from ner-
vous depression, it was said. First aid
was promptly given her by Mr. Pick
ford when he returned Sunday to the
hotel where they were stopping and
found his wife in a serious condition
and every possible effort was made
at the hospital to counteract the eff
fects of the poison, but without avail.
New York, Sept. 10.-No word of the
death of Olive Thomas, who died this
morning in Paris, had been received
here this forenoon by her brother.
James Duffy, who lives here, or by the
motion picture concern which employ
ed her. Her real name was, Olive Elain
Duffy. She was % years old, having
been born October 20, 1898, at Char
leroi, Pa.
After attending high schools in
Pittsburgh she began work in de-
partrtlent store there. A friend from
New York attracted by her beauty and
voice induced her to come to this
city in 1918 to study music. Soon she
attracted notice of theatrical men ana
was placed in the cast of the Midnight
Frolic' here in 1914, appearing as
THE Cannon Girl The next season
she was in both the 'Follies" and the
"F'rolic" and later posed for magazine
covers by noted artists.
In 1917 Miss Thomas left the stage
to enter the motion picture field in

Marion Harris Two
New "Blues" Songs
Crumit Sings and the Paul 5iese Trio
Plays for Columbia Records
This Month.

Marion Harris, the little vaudeville
artist who has done a lot to make
"blues" songs popular, has two new
syncopated laments on Columbia rec
ords this month. In "Oh Judge Gle
Treats Me Mean)" she tells her
troubles as a wife, and in HE Done
Me Wrong" she tells her troubles as
a sweetheart. Whatever troubles
Marion tells are good for a whole
lot of laughs.
Frank Crumit makes an eloquent
plea for jazz in that ragtime melody
Don't Take Away Those Blues" on a
Columbia record this month. His
Good Bye, Dixie. Good-b bye" on the
other side of this record, is a South
ern syncopation with real appeal.

for Columbia records this month. I'm
Sweet September" is it's dance version
of Al Jolson's latest song hit, and
Sweet Sugar Babe" is a Southern

OF GRAIN
NOW FULLY ASSURED
Box Cars Are Being Brought
"Home" In Time For The
Harvest Service

According to the manner in which
freight cars are now being brought
'home" from all parts of the country,
where they have been in service under
the governments management, grain
shipping facilities in this section OF
the state are to be given assurance OF
a decidedly improved service. Reports
from railway officials are being issued
to the effect that there will be no de-
lay in the shipping of grain, as the re-
suit of a lack of cars, if the number of
cars in use previous to the war are all
returned in serviceable condition.
However, there may be a question
raised here, since some cars in use
were "well along" in age when taken
over by government control, and
there was not sufficient time to keep
all in repair.
Heretofore it has been the coal cars
sent back to their original owners, ow-
ing to the coal shortage. The return
of the box cars will soon be accom-
plished, and the work is now taking q
decided turn in favor of the box cars,
many of which have been used in
shipping other materials, as. well as
the switching of the coal cars for mer-
chandise. This work of returning the
cars will continue for some time, but
it is believed Roadway enough will be
made to give much better service
throughout the country than was ex-
pected by the time harvest arrives and
the shipping of grain becomes heavy.
Railways are checking up cars still
out, and the result is that while the
bulk of the box cars have not been re-
turned, and while there is great per-
centage of the box cars "absent," these
are being sought and returned as rap
idly as possible.
