~ LIVER TWIST was born about
70 miles from London, In the
lying-in room of the almshouse.
Ills mother, worn and exhausted from
a long and painful journey on foot,
had been found unconscious In the
road, and had been carried to the only
place OF refuge for such as she seemed
to be. His name he owed to the in
.ventive genius Of the parish beadle,
who remarked: "The last one was q
's'--Swubble / named him; the next
one as comes win be Unwin, and I've
got names ready made to the end of
the alphabet, and all the way through
1t again, when we come to ~"
The wronged and unhappy mother
died without revealing her name, and
the only proofs Of the boys identity,
q locket and ring, kept even at the
price OF starvation, were stolen from
the corpse before 1t was cold by the
old crone who had been In attendance.
The orphans childhood, passed in
cruel neglect and semi-starvation, was
brought to an abrupt close by his own
unparalleled act. Desperate through
hunger he and his companions deter
mined that some one of them shall Sc
cure for all an extra helping of the
thin and watery cruel which is their
principal diet. The lot falls upon Oh
liver. Nine-year-old child though he
was, he was reckless with misery"
He rose from the table, and advancing
to the workhouse-master, basin and
spoon In hand, he said, "Please, sir,
! want some morel"
Such u~nheard-of daring receives
speedy treatment. The next morning
a bill, posted upon the gate, offers
five pounds to anyone who will take
Oliver Twist off the hands Of the par
ish.
Then there follows a brief stay as
the apprentice of a %coffinmaker and
undertaken, who, with an eye to the
effect. promptly makes of the sad
faced little waif a chief mourner at
the funerals OF children and tmany
were the professions which Rttle Oh
iver headed, In a hat-band reaching
down to his knees. to the admiration
of all the mothers In the town."
His master Is, on the whole, we'll
disposed toward him, but a fight with
a bullying older apprentice brings him
into unmerited disgrace and punish
ment and he runs away.
On the outskirts Of London he
chances upon the ~fascinatingly droll
Artful Dodger, pickpocket and pupil
of Fagin. The curious behavior of his
new associates is only a game to the
innocent boy, when Fagin places snuff
boxes, jewelry, watches and handker-
chiefs 10 his pockets, and then stands
looking In imaginary store-windows
while Tin an unbelieyably short time)
every one Of the things ~ taken from
him. The true meaning If it all burst
taken on an expedition and sees the
'game" In full operation. Dazed and
confused, he is the only one captured
and taken before a magistrate. His
innocence Is established, but he faints
I'm the court room, and Is taken home
by the remorseful Mr.. Brownlow, the
whose pocket he was supposed to
have picked. In his new friends house
Oliver is nursed through a serious ill
ness, and better days seem to have
dawned for him, when he again falls
into the hands of Fagin. This is no
happening, for the old crocS.

Secretary Hoover interceded with
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board, few days ago for the leas-
ing of a number of it's idle ships for
a hire of one dollar per sap per
month for the purpose of exporting
coal to Europe in routes where Amer
lea was losing business to foreigners,
thereby protecting these foreign
unemployed American miners.
Mr. Hoover's thought was in
spired by the fact that the Shipping
Board had hundreds of idle ships and
ships in the manner Indicated a val
liable export trade would be provided
at critical time. BY this arrange
ment employment would be secured
for miners who otherwise would be
subjected to the hardship of unem-

'"The Shipping Board was most
sympathetic with Secretary Hoover 8

entire willingness to concur and CO.
Operate, providing Secretary Hoover
could gain the assurance from private
ship owners that they appreciate this
move as creating tonnage that other
wise would not exist and therefore
did not interfere with private ship
owners business, but, rather, as a
means of keeping alive trade that

of America would be lost to us per-

"EXPERIENCE" CHARMING.
Splendid New Paramount Picture
Well Received at Local Theatre

George Fitzmaurice's Paramount
production of Experience" scored
heavily on it's first presentation at
the Wilson Theatre yesterday. It prov
ed to be an artistic delight for all
who beheld the photoplay The story
is allegorical and deals with the ad-
ventures of a youth who goes to the
city to make his fortune and who
meets with temptation, ignores op-
poctInity and giving way to pleas
ure, fails miserably But love who
has followed him, beckons him home
again where he finds happiness and
the love he had ignored. The picture
is quite charming and a reminder of
"Everywoman" in trea atment. Rich
ard Barthelmess is the featured play
er and others in the cast who did ex-
cellent work are John Miltern, Mar
jorie Daw, Edna Wheaton, E. J.
Radcliffe, Betty Carpenter, Kate
Bruce, Nita Naldi and Lilyan Tash-
man. The picture constitutes a verit-
able fashion show and the scenic in
vestiture is of the richest description.
1t is well worth seeing.
The picture is being repeated to-
night.

THE GIRL WITH A
THOUSAND FACES

Mae Marsh, who plays the role of
Flora Cameron in .'The Birth of a
Nation" is known all over the coun-
try as the girl with thousand faces.
Her remarkable rise to the position
in the motion picture field that
Maude Adams holds in the legitimate
drama is due to the careful manner
in which d. w. Griffith, the master
producer, studies her personality
and brought out every latest gift.
A few seasons ago she came to
the Griffith studio to watch her old
er sister work. She was raw and un-
developed but Griffith's keen eye saw
great possibilities beneath the sur
face of her anxious eyes and mobile
countenance. He wanted half
grown girl for work he was finish.
ing and he selected her. Now She
has the most Hkable role in all the
thousands of characters that CROWD
the Griffith masterpiece. She is the
joyous note of youth in the most re-
markable drama the film has yet un-
folded
Experienced actors always have
word of praise, sincere and en-
phatic, for the little lass who plays
the young sister in this appealing
story. This California girl can ex-
press almost any emotion the femi-
nine can grasp. She has played
tom-boys and heroines, consumptive
girls and athletic girls. No part
frightens her when Griffith is direct
ing.

of twenty five men, from which the team

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Retrenchment will

OF the National Association Of Profess
sionsl Baseball League. when that or
ganization holds it's annual convention
next week in Buffalo. He is going TO
the meeting determined to impress upon
absolutely necessary for them to Aduce
their operating expenses If they hope
to continue in the game on profitable
basis
President Sexton does not suggest
that the minor league clubs retrench In
players only. but in everything that
pertains to the running of a ball team
and league. In letter received from
him to-day he says he will propose that
travelling secretaries be eliminated in
leagues below Class A. He also be-
lieves that the smaller leagues should
abandon their training trips If possible,
asking the players TO cooperate with
them in an effort to reduce expenses by
The minor league situation has be-
come serious" writes Sexton. II gave
1t a lot OF study last season and ascer-
tanned that the magnates were striving
to do things on "A major league scale
where il was utterly impossible for
them to do so. AS consequence of the
foolhardiness they weighted themselves
with expenses they were unable to
carry. What was the result OF this?
Most of the clubs. instead of showing a
profit, had a deficit. Some of them
could have avoided this IL they had been
more discreet in the handling of their
clubs and had not boosted salaries ana
other expenses beyond their means
Since 1914 the expense of operating
clubs and leagues has increased at least
200 per cent. Every single item of ex-
pense has gone UP tremendously"
Sexton Is so sincere in his deteI7nina-
tion to have the minors consider a big
retrenchment that he has asked and ad-
vised all the club owners to postpone
signing players until after the meeting
In Buffalo. He hopes during the con-
ference to point out TO them where il
is imperative that they reduce expenses
He will vigorously recommend and
urge a radical and positive reduction
in salaries, a minimum number of play
ers in each classification. a shortening

training periods wherever possible, a
minimum number Of propects reported
for trials, a uniform but reasonable
allowance for meals to players of all
