ADJUSTMENTS
ETHEL CLAYTON IN
 SHAM AT R|A[TO

Ethel Clayton is scoring a positive triumph at the Rialto, where she is presenting her delightfully."- piquant comedy, "Sham." It Is a picture so filled with brilliant satire, so allur- ing in the humor reflected in every scene, and so well appointed and produced that it is little wonder 1t has been cited as not only the finest picture Ethel Clayton has ever made but the finest picture from point of universal appeal released for several IIISla1l.a.=
 Its central idea gives the picture the punch" that sends it through reel after reel of genuine fun, in presenting as the principal character young society girl whose depleted bank account is causing her no end of worry, as she must keep up her appearances in the social set in which she moves. Sa.irical in nature, the narrative reviews in delicious terms her struggle to keep off the creditors, bringing her face to face with the fact that sine must mary for money c- leave the social wbih. The only available natcEial IS pacK oI 4oanas Hazards and a few fops, no- muck to draw to. but that same fate which has protected her thus far seems to be lowering near and in walks Tom Jaffrey. westerner. The arrival of the "he-man" is the signal for some fast action In comedy.
 Another high spot in the picture is the invincible cast surrounding the star. Theodore Roberts as the cattle king is a feature all by himself. while Walter Hiers as his son is a scream .'' Sylvia Ashton and Helen Dunbar as the aunts present the very ultra in character work, while Clyde Fillmore as the westerner gives a most con- vincing interpretation of a delightful role.
 ; The added attractions include the Toonerville Trolley comedy, present. ing the skipper made famous by Fontaine Fox, and the Hearst Inter- national News.

A
 Unsettled Weather" broke with a succession of surprises yesterday at the Ramona theater, where it was presented for the first time by the Greer-Lawler Pioneer Girls company, to three capacity houses. First, "Un- settled Weather" as a farce comedy is superior to anything yet presented at the Ramona this season, notwith- standing the fact that several Broad way successes have recently had their first Phoenix showing there. Secondly, Bobby Greer as juvenile lead, without facial makeup. made an instantaneous hit and suggested the thought that were he not so good as a comic he could make good as a juvenile. In his first appearance without the familiar Irish makeup in which he has been disguised con- stantly since his opening, Mir. Greer surprised his friends with his youth and pep"

Riverside Park

Tonight is another big night al Riverside park, basket night, one of the most eagerly awaited in all the week.
 Six beautiful Chinese baskets have been selected for the spot Gance events this evening. Nothing con- ducted at Riverside park is more popular with the patrons of the pop ular amusement center than basket night, and it never fails to find the ballroom crowded with dance devo- tees.
 The big pool, thoroughly clean, ab- solutely sanitary, and incidentally the largest and best equipped in the state, of course will be the mecca for those who appreciate the, very ultra fin en- joyment and healthful inyigoratior as offered by a plunge in the clear, clean waters of the Riverside pool.
 Pete's cafe by the poolside contins ues popular. His excellent bill ot fare, combined with the comfort of- fered in the cool of the resort, makes 1t an ideal place to enjoy meal.
 The new arrangement under which the refreshment service at the booths is on the some price as at the foun- tain is another big item that has met with immediate favor.
 Columbia
 Wanda Hawley as a clinging vine and Walter HIers as the harassed young husband and father of twins bring to the screen in Her Sturdy Oak" one of the funniest domestic comedy of the current season This splendid screen value is the feature Columbia attraction for the last times today. An added feature is Harold Lloyd comedy.
 Sam was as big around as an oak but size was his only oakish quality TemperamentalIy, he was a cross be- tween a squash and a swaying reed His backbone was smothered in fat till he didn't know he had one. But he was dead sure that he had poetic soil. Flabby and futile as he was however. Violet loved him to distrac- ton and thought he was just grand Because he was an out size, she just knew he must be strong and noble and brave, the one man in all tht world to be her invincible protector
 What happened to Sam and Violet weak reed and clinging vine. wher they married on nothing a year, 1, entertainingly shown in Her Sturdy Oak" The whole resolves itself into one of the fastest moving light com edy vehicles that it has been thu pleasure of the Columbia theatel management to offer in weeks.
 The Harold Lloyd comedy. a Priz' ma natural color film and a Re, Beach adventure picture are the oth- CT numbers on the Columbia program for the last times today.

Negro Prisoners
Severely Lashed

Wilmington, Del, March 90
At New Castle county workhouse
today four Negroes felt the sting
Of the Delaware whipping post law.
Those whipped were: Warner
Lewis, convicted of larceny and
sentenced to one year i'll prison and
twenty lashes; Leonard Barrett,
highway robbery, ten years and
forty lashes, and John Richardson
and Horace Archie, highway rob-
berry, ten years and forty lashes
each.
This total of 14O lashes was the
largest imposed at the whipping
post in this county for many years.
The whippings were admin
istered by Warden Plummer Of the
workhouse and the lashes were but
lightly applied as a vigorous appli-
cation Of the nine-thonged "cat''
would cut a man s back into rib
bons in the administration Of doz-
en- or more blows. The backs Of
the victims were marked with slight
discoloration as the result Of the
flagellation, but only by occasional
finching did they give evidence Of
physical suffering.
The whippings were public and
were witnessed by about a hundred
persons.

The trip was all I desired it to be,
and certainly proved the statement true
that, mississippi would come back in
to its own if given chance.
First + met the ladies of Jackson.
They had a very cordial reception for
me in one Of the churches, and club in.
terest is very enthusiastic there as man.
ifested by the three hundred ladies
who met me. I found there work de.
veloping along many lines. For in
stance: Both Of the Parent Teachers
Associations were having all the school
children examined by physicians, &C.
cording to child welfare work. e
Another set of ladies had purchased
beautiful Y. w. c. A. building, on
which they had paid $1,6O0OO. The
civic department. Of the city federation
under the splendid leadership Of Mrs
U. j. Wade and Mrs. z. T.. Hubert OF
Jackson college had received the co.
operation of the city counsel to beauti.
fly the colored cemetery.
Still another club had affected a clinic
for the treatment of venereal diseases
They also had another department
which was studying civics including
registration and SO on, and many others
act1Vltles along the lines OF charities.
The clubs represented in Jackson
were the Terrell, Violet Sewing Circle,
Fern. leaf, Phyllis Wheatley, the Parent
Teacher Associations, the Y. w. G. A.,
the affiliated missionary societies Of the
churches and the City Federation.
My next visit was at Vicksburg,
where I found the same enthusiastic
display as by the Jackson ladies, and
a very royal reception was given me.
Among the many good things which
these ladies were doing and had done
was beautiful home sighted on one Of
the heights of Vicksbnrg for the bene.
fit of the old people Of the state. This
was formerly connected with the State
Federation, but these ladies were so
energetic that they paid for it them

have beautified it and make it q very
comfortable and attractive place for
the dear old people, and they do not

The clubs represented here were the
CARMEL, the Marsh Neil, the Women q
Christian Union club.
Leaving here visited Port Gibson,
where they had no club activities, and
was able to arouse their interest to
the extent that a Parent Teacher Ass0-
citation was formed with the object OF
raising funds for new school building
which was needed very badly in this
town.
My next stop was at Alcorn, where I
again received a very hearty welcome
as at other places with our genial Mrs.
Rowan, her husband and staff Of co..
workers. My first meeting was with .
large number OF young school girls, who
attended the college, but lived in tho
community. They were called the Chain
Of Friendship girls. I affected an or
ganization among them which had for
it's main purpose community work.
They were divided into four divisions
one division for the little town Of Rod
ney; another for Westside; another For
Lauman; and another for the commu-
nifty near the college. All Of these are
to carry ON extension work among the
sick and in these various communities
endeavor to enlighten them along house
hold duties, to relieve them in suffering
and in various other ways.
At night also addressed the Aimwell
club at Alcorn which was composed os
the lady teachers and the professor 3
wives, and besides the study of folk
lore and other important pursuits, they
also have a scholarship loan fund which
helps worthy students through college.
From Alcorn L went to the beautiful
little city Of Natchez where I found
some very progressive and intelligent
people, and here again / met q very
warm reception found the ladies OF
the Social Literary and Industrial club
very active in raising funds for another
old folks home. They have a place
with four lots and two small houses on
it, which they are paying for and soon
hope to pay for this and then tear down
these two small houses and put up
suitable building for an old folks home.
From here my next stop was at Co

tivities at all, but again I was able to
awaken interest to the extent of organ
izing Mother g club, with the aim Of
