Emma Dunn Will Play "Angie"

Rachel Crother's celebrated stage
play, ':Old Lady 81" as adapted to
the screen by Metro with Emma
Dunn as the star, will be the feature
attraction at the opera house Tues
day. This Metro production was
made upon a most elaborate scale.
Emma Duan created the leading
role of Angie in the New York stage
production of the play by Lee Kugel
and was especially engaged for star
dom or the screen in the same char
acter. Angie is a personality of rare
sweetness, and just the sort of "mo-
ther' that brought fame to Miss Dunn
in the theatre.
In story of quaintness and infinite
charm, Angie and Abe, her life's
partner for fifty years, are reduced to
poverty. Abe is planning to go to
the poor farm, while Angie, with the
few dollars they have saved from the
wreck of their lives, is headed for the
old woren's home. The thought of
parting is anguish to the lifelong
lovers.
At the doorstep of the old women's
home, Angie falters. The inmates
take pity on the couple, and although
it is against the rules, admit Abe as
''old lady 51'-he being the only
male in the house. But he is happy
to be near Angie and everything goes
well until the thirty spinsters and
'swidder women" in the institution get
their dander up when Abe is too at
tentive to one Of them. 80 -
cold Lady 81" scored one Of the
greatest triumphs of any American
drama in recent years.

This can be obtained by drawing back

GENER AL STRIKE
ALLIED CRAFTS VOTLD AGAINST
GENERAL WAGE REDUCTIONS
OF JULY FIRST.
TO AWAIT FURTHER ACTION
Leaders Believe That Men Should
Await Final Rulings Of Labor Board
Eefore Any Drastic Action
Is Taken.

Chicago.-RailrOad shopmen be.
longing to the six federated shop
crafts unions have voted to strike
against the general railroad wage re.
ductlon Of July, /, 1921, but will defer
any action until the PRONUNCIATION OF
WORKING rules now pending before the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
when another vote will be taken on
acceptance or rejection of the rHles.
This announcement was officially
made known by B. M. JEWELL head
OF the shop crafts organization, at
a mass meeting of Chicago SHOP
workers.
Belief that stronger fight could
be made if a strike is called with
preservation of the shipments work
ing rules as one Of the goals, led to
the decision to withhold a strike call
for the present, Mr.. Jewell said. He
and other union speakers counseled
the men to wait until the entire wage
and rules situation is before them,
rather than rush into strike which
Mr.. Jewell declared the railroad man..
agements desired.
I'VE can make a real fight on the
rules proposition when we might not
have the full support of the other
branches of railway employees on a
wage fight alone" Mr.. jewell said.
IF We want to protect our best in
terests we must wait until the time
is opportune. But if the labor board
releases all the remaining rules to be
acted upon at one time we then will
have the whole matter before US.
We will need only one, vote, to &C
cept or reject the rules, to determine
what will be DONE

RIGHT MEASURES
TO KILL DODDER
Experts Say Discovery Of This
Parasite on Farm Is No ,
Cause for Serious Alarm.
PLAN FOR ITS DETERMINATION
Pest Does Not Cause Damage if REM
edIes Are Applied Before It Gets
oothoid-Prevent Seed
From Maturing.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
If remedies to eXterminate dOdder-
the parasitic plant infeSting clover, al
falfa, and some other plants-are ap-
piled before il gets fOOthOld. the
pest does not cause serious damage.
If, however, dodder is permitted to de
velOp unmOlcSted, radical measures
will be necessary in order to control it..
During recent years, specialists of
the department say. an increase in the
number of complaints of dodder have
been received from all parts of the
United States. They add, however,
that the discovery of this parasite on
the farm should not be the occasion
of serious alarm but rather for the
employment of well-conceived and
systematic plan for its determination.
Starts in Small Patches.
During the first season of infesta-
tion, IN clover or alfalfa dodder usual
Iy occurs in small scattered areas. As
Is the case in combating all weeds. it
IS essential that dodder should not be
permitted to mature seed. and such
small infested areas should be moved
and the dodder removed or burned in
the field to prevent the development
of seed. If seed has formed, burning
the patches of dodder is the only rem
edy, since 1t kills not only the plants
hut also any seeds which may be ly-
ing on the surface of the soil.
If infestation is so great that patch
treatment cannot be depended upon, it
will be necessary. in order to free the
