The great Napoleon. in response to a

MY ideal woman is not the beautiful
society belle or the butterfly of fashion,
but the matron who reaches middle age in

There are a great many women of

he decided to go somewhere else. He
had been at Lake Bomoseen in former
years and so ended up in this part OF
the country. For the sake of giving his
mind a rest he went to Chittenden, got
a job with the Ohamplain Realty Co.,
and one day, for some unknown reason,
decided to help himself to few blank
checks and skip.
Drifted About the Country
He came to Rutland, went to Troy. \:
Y, later to Toronto, Can. and drlfted
about the country until one day. about
a week ago, he landed in Louisville, NY
He saw an advertisement in one of the
papers where a proofreader was wanted
lie applied for the position and was
asked for references. He referred them
to publishing houses in New York. He
said the manager of the printing company
wired the New York concerns and re-
ceived a reply stating that Mr. won
Kellar had never worked as a proof
reader but had been in the editorial de-
partment and they were positive that he
would make an excellent proofreader.
He was put to work. Within three
DAYS a detective walked in and asked him
if he was Mr. Won Kellar and be replied
in the affirmative. He said he was told
he was wanted by the states attorney of
Rutland county in Vermont for forgery
and he said he told them he knew it and
was glad that he had been. discovered. as
his stunt at Chittenden had been hound
ing him for some time He told them
he would 90 back with them without max
ing any trouble He said that if he is
given a chance he has friends who viii
make restitution to the bank and also to
the state.
1t is probable that a temporary hearing
will be held within the next few days and
that he will be bound over to the March
term of Rutland county court.

THIS STAR UNAFRAID OF
TAIISNTENs SUPPORT

The old days when stars sometimes
used to hire incompetent support in
order that their own cleverness might
shine more brightly, have passed to the
realm of forgotten things in photo
drama.
Or at least so says May McAvoy,
star of Everything For Sale" which
opens at the Alta Theatre for two days
beginning Sunday.
1T is hard to understand how lead
ing players could ever have wished to
be surrounded lby poor support, in
order to give further emphasis to their
own ability said the charming little
person who made "Grizel' of "Senti-
mental Tommy''so justly famous.
"Acting is 80 greatly a matter Of CO.
operation, of response of the inter-
locking characters of the story, that q
proper dramatic Interpretation can
never be made by one or two persons
alone. 1t must be a composite of sew
eral individuals all of whom have
something real to contribute"
Everything for Sale" is by the au-
thor Of The Cheat" one Of the most
successful photoplays ever written and

made into q grand opera. It was di-

staggering with debt means its bur-
dens lifted. Humanity, which has
been shocked by wanton destruction,
would minimize the agencies of that
destruction. Contemplating the
cost of war and the con-
tinuing burden Of armament, all
thoughtful peoples wish for real limi-
tation of armament and would like
war outlawed. In soberest reflection
the worlds hundreds of millions who
pay in peace and die in war wish
their statesmen to turn the expendi-
lures for destruction into means of
construction, aimed at higher state
for those who live and follow after.
Ii is not alone that the world cam
not readjust itself and cast aside the
excess burdens without relief from the
leaders of men. War has grown pro-
sressivoiy cruel and more destructive
