MYSTERY IN ANCIENT TOOLS
ingenious Explanation as to Why Iron
Implements Should Have Been
Coated With Bronze.

The National Museum Of Wales pos
sesses an interesting show case con-
tanning a collection Of tools and weap-
n made in Britain at a time when
Britain, owing to her vested interests
in copper and tin, was still using
bronze, though iron was already known
on the Continent. In this collection Of
implements some are pure bronze,
some are Of iron coated with bronze,
and all are Of the same patterns as
the bronze implements in current use
in Britain at the time. ;
Mr.. O. G. s. Crawford offers the
interesting explanation that there was
n enterprising merchant Of radical
tendencies who could make tools of
iron but was unable to sell them to his
conservative customers, SO, making his
wares exactly like in shape those In
general use, he dipped them in molten
bronze, and mixing up the counter
feits with genuine articles of solid
bronze he started on a journey to dis
pose Of them, but met with a mishap
and dropped his whole bagful into a
lake. Owing to his loss the goods
were never dispersed but were pre-
served for us Just as he left them. The
explanation is a possible and an in
genious one but surely not the only
one MISUNDERSTANDING.

THE jolly festival Of Halloween Is
in SIGHT and IMAGINATIVE nonnlo

THE jolly festival Of Halloween Is
in sight and imaginative people
may turn loose their fancies and
let them frolic among spooks and
fairies. Young people and children
enjoy this prankish festival more
than any other, except Christmas.
In the shops that carry crepe paper
and colored papers of other kinds,
there are all sorts of funny and grue-
some suggestions in the matter OF
dressing UP the house and the table
for a Halloween party. They present
what their agents have found In the
realm where witches, black cats,
sprites, ghosts and strange creatures
frolic under the autumn moon in the
fields where the big yellow pumpkins
lie. Having set down Their findings In
black and yellow and white on paper,
they leave 1t to merrymakers to be-
gin where they leave of and fashion
such things as are shown above.
Only two light shades or candle
shades are pictured, both OF them q
combination Of yellow and black pa
per with . few touches OF black and
white ~water-color paint. One OF the
shades Is a cats face Of orange pa
per with black ears. The paper is
pasted against a cardboard founda-
tion. two faces joined by strips at the
sides and supported BY ordinary cam
holders or with wire. In the
other shade, Jack-o.Lantern sports q
long beard Of black crepe paper and
Inns black horns.
A yellow windmill Of cardboard sur

per stands on q circular cardboard

blown by a stiff wind. These trees
might be managed with small twigs.,
Queer creatures inhabit the mill and
yard and several pumpkins grin
through the fence. These things are
cut from paper made for the purpose
and printed with Halloween figures.
The witch may be cut from paper or
made Of black and white paper and
wire. Her broom is brown tissue q
per. A belligerent black cat and an
astonished harvest moon are mounted
on small sticks for favors. There are
many kinds Of these, including ghosts
made, like the witch, Of white paper.
Place cards and little holders for al
monds or candy are as varied ss any,
hostess could wish-aA to be cut from
printed paper and pasted TO founda-
lions OF cardboard.

are made interesting by a little variety
in styles and much variety in trim.

The box coat, with many variations
in collars, sleeves, length and trim

women; as 1t Is developed this season

than one rival. the most important of
them being coats that decide upon q

THE MIRACLE OF MANHATTAN"
AT GRAND THEATER TODAY

"The Miracle of Manhattan
Elaine Hammerstein's latest Sell
nick picture which comes to the
Grand theater for a tWo-day run be-
ginning today, is said to differ in
every respect from preceding produc-
lions in which this popular. star has
appeared.
The story, by Bradley King, deals
with young society bud who is un-
der the impression that it is a SIM
pie matter for any young woman to
make her way in the world, alone
and unassisted. An opportunity
arises in which she is able to put her
theory to the test and she makes an
attempt to earn her own living.
She finds that the problem is not as
simple as it had seemed and is about
to give up in despair when she finally
secures work as a cabaret singer.
Here she is thrown in direct contact
with types of people she never even
knew existed. How a romance springs
up between her and an exgangster
and it's subsequent denouement amid
most dramatic surroundings and cir
cunlstances is shown in a vivid man
ner.
Hiss Hammerstein's leading man
for this occasion is Matt Moore,
brother of the. .Selznick star, Owen
Moore. -
"ln Again." tWO-part Century
comedy completes the program.

How can a. man play dual role
in life, even in "a small community.
is? Interestingly and ably demonstrate
ed in the pictured story OF Devil
Dog Dawson" the coming fllm at
traction at the Rex theater on Sat
urday.
1t Is we'll known and granted that
in metropolitan cities such as New
York, Chicago. London. Paris and
others, man may live an uninter-
rupted dual existence. playing the
role Of aw-abiding business man in
one part OF the city. and doubling
as the very lowest sort of crook in
another section. Sociologists have
always claimed that this was only
possible in such large centers.
However. the story plot Of Devil
Dog Dawson" shows how a man may
successfully live dual role in even
such a small community as a north
WESTERN camp. Jack 'HoNie. well
known and popular cowboy star. Is
being featured in this picture 1t is
another one Df his splendid series of
thiss3types Of production and is said
to be the best so far.

Learning the lockstep for use In

Grand in the, "all-laugh" program
Sunday and Monday gave Buster
Keaton's company some extra hours
of labor. Unfortunately none OF the
company had ever had any previous
experience in that line and it was
ew field to them. The perspiring
director put in many extra hours
doing the duty of drill sergeant
to get the. squad in the proper
rhythm of the prison walk.
Then when they had gotten so
they could form a striped rail across
the prison yard without giving 1t
the appearance Of snake dance, q
new, trouble arose. In one of the
scenes in Convict 13" as the line
meanders across the yard an attrac-
tive young lady is discovered bend
to tie her shoe5tring. The line OF
stripes all try to see what they can
see, while keeping on the move.
The first time when they started
to turn big Joe Roberts, with his
three hundred or more pounds wrap
ped up in his siX-fOot frame gave
the line the contour of a bent hair
pin, and Buster keaton right in back
