Henry Stephenson Pays
High Tribute to Women
With Whom He's Acted

Although Henry Stephenson has ap-
peared IN many plays which have regis
tered success on their own account,
he declares that none of them occupy
the place in his affections, nor the
value in his estimation, that is held by
the personalities with whom he has
been associated in them.
Born just outside Of London, Mr..

with whom he was associated for two
years In a tour Of the provinces.

Following this. my first expert

eight years association with Sir

America. This period covers many
very important productions, such as
Lord and Lady Algy," "The Man from

and scores Of other successful pIays.

OF the greatest value to me, but the
association with Sir Charles. I con-
slider him the most wonderful director
OF comedies, and it Is with a grateful
heart that I credit him with some Of
the very best Of my theatrical training.
My last association with him was in
the London production Of Jack Straw )
and it will always remain a happy
memory to me.

SHEEP CENSUS IN CANADA.

(By International News Service.)
 Calgary, Alta. Nov. 6-Sheep in Canada todays number 266, LAY more than in 1871. This startlingly small increase in almost half a. century re- fleets the crisis through which the sheep industry passed twenty-five
 years ago, when the bottom dropped out of the wool market. It also shows the industry has recovered from the blow and is assuming it's old impor- tance.
 There were 3.155,509 sheep in Can ada in 1871. When the great slump in wool occurred many great West ern-range herds were sold off. In 1911 only 2,1sQ, 900 sheen ware 1Aft, in Canada. Today there are e,E21,G53. according to the last sheep census of the Government. Their estimated l value is $50, 900.
 The sheep industry in the United | States suffered even more. The sheep population of the United States, ac- | cording to Government estimates, has
 fallen off 4,000,000 in the last decade | Proportionate decreases have taken 1 place in Australia, Argentina and l British South Africa. Millions of sheeI
 were slaughtered in Europe during | the war.

LONDON WOMEN
 SMOKING PIPES

London Nov 6-Pipe smoking seems ID be on the increase among London women and fashionable ci- gar stores display dainty small briars, some set with precious stones. It is said there is a growing demand for these.
 At one London theater where smoking is permitted two smart1y dressed women were seen the other evening in a box pulling at their jew elled pipes, and soon an old Irish woman in the gallery followed suit. Hers was clay "cutty.''
 In a first-c1ass railroad car be- tween Horsham and London. a quar- rel arose the other day between a number of non-smoking women and another woman who refused to put out her cigarette at her sister trav- elers' behest. It ended in one of the anti-smokers seizing the offend ing cigarette, gold mounted tortoise shell holder and all, and finging it out of the window.

enough for me to do my dishwashins without straining.
 There are many things about the building of a house which to a man seem trivial, but to women are inn portant not only from the standpoint of comfort, but of health.
 Every kitchen should be arranged to suit womans idea of convenience and should be equipped with modern electric appliances to save time and energy. The farm woman particu- larly should have a model kitchen.
 There should beh ouses built es- pecciallly for the women who are wage-earners as well as housewives to enable them to perform their household duties with minimum of exertion.
 These are things for the women to demand. Bad housing affects not only the health, but the morals of the nation. There is mop roblem now facing the country more important than this for the newly enfranchised woman to give her attention to. The situation is too critical for delay"

SENDS LETTERS
 TO BOY SCOUTS

Washington, Nov. 6 President Wilson yesterday signed a personal letter of commendation to Carl T. Chadsey, of Stamford, Conn.,, and sent it along with similar praise to other Boy Scouts in 52 other states, territor- ies and possessions of the United States Each letter went to the Scout who sold the most War Savings and Thrift Stamps in the 1918 savings campaign. The delay was due to un- avoidable circumstances
 President Wilson went to France just as he was about ready to send the letters, then made the League of Nations fight and, finally, became i'll. All through his trials however, MT. Wilson has kept the Boy Scouts in mind, so that when the first oppor- tunity came he. dictated and signed the letters.
 Secretary of the Treasury Houston having announced that the savings campaign will continue throughout the year, there is keen interest in these letters, especially as thousands of Scouts in this and other states are helping sell the stamps.

GERMANY'S HOPE
 LIES IN LEAGUE

(Fron1 New York Evening Post)
 The German-Americans who appear to be lined up with Harding because he is against entering the League are sadly mistaken, in the opinion of Hamilton Holt, editor of the Inde- pendent, who conversed with many German leaders on the League issue during his recent trip to Europe. The German leaders realize better than Americans do that the League is a going concern" and that the only way they can get essential modifica- tions of the treaty at Versailles is by joining and obtaining the full benefit of open discussion as a member. President Ebert and many others with whom talked" said the Repub- lican who has left his party on the League issue, and who is doing all he can in support of Gov. Cox, "are con- vinced that GermanyS best hope lies in the League. They believe there is but one alternative for Germany, and that is the dreadful one of Bolshevism. ''The reasoning of the German Americans supporting Harding seems | to be that if Germany can make a | separate peace with the United States | her prestige will be enhanced and her | chancs of entering the League on bet | ter terms will be improved. Or else l they dream of some arrangement be- i tween Germany and this country by
 which the League may be overturned. Either motion, in my opinion, is be- yond the possibilities.
 Ignorance Is Enemy.
 "If the enlightened and informed d sentiment of this country prevails, as | it prevailed in the two previous great | criseS-when the adoption of a Fed | eral Constitution was the question and | when the Union was at stake-then it | will elect MT. Cox. The enemy today | is complacent ignorance if it is not l downright moral incidence and indif- l ference to the fate of our neighbors ! and our own ultimate good name.
 "If the spirit of Lincoln animated
 the leaders of my party today, the | Republican candidate would be ever | more determined in his advocacy ot
 the League of Nations than is the can
 didate whom I am going to support I I agree with MT. Cox that it is little

Edmonton, Alta, Nov. 6-Agnes P. Laut, famous as an author of books dealing with the pioneer his- sry and development of Western =anada, has returned from an ex- rsrded trip in the Peace River Val ley.
 This north country" said Miss Laut, will some day be one of the garden spots of Canada. It is set ting slowly. That is due to the homeseeker's dread of cold. But it is a delightful place to live. In summer it's lush wild meadows and riotous abundance of wild flowers suggest the tropics. In winter is climate is tempered by Chinook winds. Wheat yields thirty and forty bushels to the acre. Its vege- tables are wonderful, livestock pas ture outdoors all winter.

 Paris, Nov. 5.-The end Cf the world in decades possibly. in centuries more probably-is now being sig nailed by the discovery in the heavens of new luminous spots which astron- omerS talk for new stars.
 This is the sober judgment of Ed mond Perrier, noted FSench aStrom- omer, member of the French Insti- tute, and of the Academy of Medicine. who has just completed an article dealing particularly with the recent stellar finds of Professor Charles Nordmann, of the Observatory of Paris, one of the best known astron- omers in the world.
 Modern astronomers have too carefully studied the sky and with too powerful instruments to permit any actually new star to escape them,' says Perrier. These new stars, recently discovered, are actually nothing but old stars which have sud denly come to life and have become luminous.
 There are several reasons why this may have occurred. The most probable is that two obscure stars, both invisible from the earth. have accidentally approached each other with such rapidity as to draw recip- rocally from each other internal fam ing masses by the very force of gray ity. These flaming masses have burned the outer surfaces of the two stars and developed violent eruptions- Thereupon they have become lumi- nous and visible to our astronomers We must therefore conclude that i in addition to the stars we know there are countless others reeling about in tspace at terrible speed and closer to | us, perhaps, than we imagine. Some l of them may be as large as the sun! ] Imagine what will happen the day | one of these approaches near a planet say the size of Jupiter. Perhaps they
 will one day commence by destroying | Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter and
 then approach nearer, penetrating the system of planets of which We form l a part with Mars, Venus and Mercury | But beforehand they will have ex- | ercised a tremendous influence on the I sun itself, causing violSnt eruptions | to which they will themselves re-
 spond. And when that happens, what | will become of our little earth and
 it's sister Venus, and it's brothers Mars | and Mercury in the midst of this cha in l of catac1ysms?
 ''The appearance in the heavens 1 peaceable it is, of these little lu- | minous points, is the sign of the catas- trophe which our imaginations have
