even with these puppets, the story
was as pathetic as when acted ON
the stage in the famous years of
Jefferson.
The marionettes, admirably de-
signed and clad by Mr.. Sarg, were
as admirably managed by the many
workers behind the curtain. There
was no hitch, no accident, nothing
to impair the illusion.
One might ask in surprise: What?
Can puppets be pathetic?" Yes. and
they may be tragic. The history OF
the marionette theatre is long and
honorable; it has been written by
many learned enthusiasts. Perhaps
it is not necessary to so so far as
Anatole France went when he found
marionettes in Paris showing more
intelligence than the actresses Of the
Coincide Franchise, or to agree
wholly to the theories of Mr.. Gordon
Craig; but Mr.. Sarg's little theatre
would surely excite the admiration
OF the Partisan master of lambent
irony and of the Florentine extrem-
list. To deny the art of Mr.. Sare
would be impossible; even to find
it trivial would be the height of
folly.
Mr.. Sarg talked agreeably for a
few minutes before the performance,
explaining the completely of what
apparently was simple in the man
agement of the comedians, Of whom
the remarkable dog was certainly not
the least. To show a curious optical
illusion, he came on the stage at the
end and by the side of those come
dians he was as CULVER among the
Lilliputians, whereas during the play
the puppets had seemed of good size

HARDINCS MAY
 REVIVE SOCIAL
 LIFE IN CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, March 5 (by Asso- ciated Press) Social and diplomatic Washington looks for revival under President and Mrs. Harding of the formal state dinners and other social functions at the White House which ceased with the entrance of the Unit ed States into the World war
 Directions from Mr. Harding for abandonment of the official events iu- cident to his inauguration were con- ceded by those hoping for a return to a social noralcy to be a blow to their expectations, but the recent shopping trips made by Mrs Harding to New York and other events have renewed their optimism.
 In preparation for the arrival of the new first lady of the land" the White House has been redecorated and the furnishings renewed. In ad- dition Mrs. Harding has requested that additional flowers be planted around the White House Her friends expect her to act as hostess at a number of garden parties during the spring, thereby restoring one of the favorite forms of entertainments of former days.
 Likewise, it is expected that she will entertain at teas, her guests in cluding in addition to intimate friends the wives of the members of the diplomatic corps. Another social custom that she may revive is the regular weekly "at home" to wives of cabinet members, a function in past administrations corresponding in time with the regular Tuesday cab inet meetings. It also is reported that she will restore the custom of marine band concerts on the White House grounds.
 Whether the President and Mrs Harding will revive the state dinners remains to be developed. Four of these usually are given each season, one to the cabinet, one to the di- plomatic corps, one to the judiciary and one to congressional leaders. These dinners head the official social list issued by the state department at the beginning of each season and it is regarded as assured that they will not be revived, at least, until next winter.
 Greater participation by the White House in society is expected to be attended by removal of many of the restrictions which since 1917 have barred uninvited visitors from the White House grounds Since the United States entered the war visit ors to the capital have had to cou- tent themselves with seeing the White House from distance or from behind the iron fence surrounding the grounds.
 President Harding's friends declare that orders for the opening of the gates to the grounds will be issued soon. It is not regarded as probable, 1 however, that certain portions of the White House, such as the Blue room and the Red room, will be thrown open to the public on certain days as was the custom before the war

FORDS RUN "a MILES ON
GALLON GASOLINE
Start Easy in Coolest Weather
Other Cars Show Proportionate
Saving.

A new carburetor which cuts
down gasoline consumption Of any
motor and reduces gasoline bills
from one-third to one-half Is the
proud achievement of the Air-Fric-
ton Carburetor Co., 2308 Madison
ST., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable
invention not only increases the
power of motors from 80 to so. per
cent, but enables every one to run
slow on high gear. 1t also makes IT
easy to start a Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather. You can
use the very cheapest grade Of gaso-
line or half gasoline and half
kerosene and still get more power
and more mileage than you now
get from the highest test gasoline.
All Ford owners can get as high as
"a miles to a gallon of gasoline. So
sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send 1t
on 80 days trial to every car owner.
As 1t can be put on or taken off in
a few minutes by anyone all readers
Of this paper who want to try 1t
should send their name, address and
make of car to the manufacturers
at once. They also want local agents,
to whom they offer exceptionally
large profits. Write them today.
