TA|LORS BUSY
SUPPLYING HIP
POCKET DEMAND
Once Unnecessary Receptacle
NOW Most Important and
EUen Women Join Seekers
Host.

Tailors everywhere report con-
stantly increasing demand for hip
pockets. And the standard sizes of
We olden time are being discarded for
more roomy ones. And the tailors
blame it all on the prohibitionists.
Before Gandier, Volstcad, Pussyfoot
Johnson, Carrie Nation and w. J.
Bryan became sovereigns in America
the hip pocket was nothing but an in
cumbrance. 1t was place where men
put things and forgot them. 1t was
nothing more useful than a reinforce
ment to the seat of gentleman's
pants.
Occasionally it may have been en-
ployed by a henpecked husband to
secrcte his money in the hope that his
wife wouldn't know there was any such
place.
: But in the main, in prohibition
Nays, hiD pockets were only put on the
tonneaus Of trousers because the tail
or's union demanded it, in order to
furnish more work for the hired hands.
But now the hip pocket is the most
popular gewgaw connected with the
apparel of any Heman. Ana it is
even being vaguely hintei that some
women are becoming hip pocket ad
diets, camouflaging them in the fur
bellows which tasselate and upholster
the feminine frame.
Anything on your hip?" is COM
mon salutation in these dry days.
The proper answer to this question
cannot be given without at least one
hip pocket.
One hip pocket, however, is a sign
of extreme temperance. 1t is. not the
general rule, but the startling eXcep-
ton.

ALFALFA MARKET

The alfalfa market passed through
another week without material change
in receipts, demand or prices, and also
without activity, the result of the still

which is of course, bound to have its
influence on the alfalfa market and
in fact on business in all lines.
There were $50 tons received on the
Los Angeles tracks the week ending
April 9th, with go tons held over as
against $50 tons the week before.

A Valuable Dog

New York, Dec. 23-Good Samari-
tans are more interested in a German
police dog than in the unfortunate
American doughboy who owns him.
And the doughboy once attained fame,
too, trying to capture the most motor
ious Stacker of the world war. The
opinion is held by New York state Of
ficials of the American Legion, at least.
They cite the case of Sergeant Carl
Naef, who leaped into print and out
again in a sensational but unsuccessful
attempt TO apprehend Grover Bergdoll
in Germany For his pains, Naef was
arrested. found guilty of kidnapping
and spent some time in a German pri-
son while Bergdoll, on the outside,
laughed at him. The Americans act
and his subsequent plight caused much
comment in the United States. He fl,
nally was released through the efforts
Of General Allen, commanding the
army Of occupation at Coblenz. Today
Naef is broke, out of luck and out of
job He walked into New York
state headquarters Of the Legion here
with a police dog at his heels. In an
effort to get employment for Naef, the
Legion gave his story to the newspa-
pers Accounts also mentioned the
dog which the sergeant had brought
from Germany with him. The next day
kilograms and letters came to the Lee
glon here, offering sums ranging from
s. to S2j for the police dog. No men
ton was made Of Naei The low price
Of s. was offered by an athletic pro-
moter in Boston, Mass, while S2j was
offered by a Minneapolis, MINI, resi-
dent who thought so highly Of his Of
fer that he sent it by telegraph. Naef
won't sell his dog, at least for such a
low figure, he says Meanwhile the
Legion is looking out for him.

PAULINE FREDERICK
WINS IN NEW FILM
"a Slave of Vanity" Greatest Vehicle
for Screens Best Emotional
Actress,

ga Slave of Vanity" the latest
Robertson-Cole super special release
starring Pauline Frederick, will ap-
pear at the opera house on Tuesday.
The picture is a screen adaptation Of
Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's famous
drama Girls" which was played on
the legitimate stage in bot. London
and America. This is the frst illm
made by Miss Frederick for Robert
son-Cole and critics agree that It IS
one Of the best vehicles she has ever
appeared in either on the stage or
on the screen.
Tn the early part of the story Miss
Frederick is seen as a beautiful young
widow, surfelted with luSur'es, and
the toast of many admirers. At the
height of her social career comes the
financial crash which leaves her abso-
lutely pennies. She is forced to
choose between a man whom she
does not love, but who can give her
all the riches to which she has been
accustomed, and a man who has
nothing to offer but himself.
Miss Frederick, by her Sheer arts
try, paints vivid picture of woman
who is rescued from her own selfish
ness bv the divine spark Ct love. Most
important of all, however, is the ma2-
ner in which the star catches the
spirit of what Sir Arthur Wing
Pinero meant TO convey to the pubic
through the medium Of the play.
The sudden transition from riches
I to poverty, with the accompanying
mental struggle of woman suddenly
thrown on her own, resurces, and
then forced to choose between that
which would give back the old life OF
continuing in a new and dreaded
world, is quite sufficient to- tax the
histrionic ability of any actress. Miss
Frederick, however, by dint OF her
ability to wrap herself in any role
! which she happens to be portraylng,
gives a dazzling performances and
adds new laurels to her fame as the
leading emotional actress Of the
screen.
Because Of a most competent cast
including Nigel Barrie, Willard
Louis, Maud Louis, Daisy Robinson,
fArthur Hoyt, Ruth Handfofth and
Howard Gaye, "a slaye Of Vanity
Lis one of the most finished produc-
tions ever seen on the silver sheet.
