 Here is one of the greatest of all stage beauties-pronounced so by those rare selectors of the form divine for the Fellies, roof shows, midnight frolics and infinitum-Mary Perry

} MILLION MEN IN ENGLAND MAY JOIN
 COLOSSAL STRIKE
Coal Strike Ordered for Mid- night Likely to Be Joined By Rail and Transport
 Workers
Rr Associatod Presa

London. March S1,-Success or failure for the national coal miners strike which has been ordered to begin at midi night is expected to depend upon tie re- suits of the railway and transport work CTS called for early next week.
 Those who lad been hopeful tha% the railway men and transport workers would find a way out of the difficulty received little to reassure them in statements is- sued on their behalf after morning con ferences. These statements were to the effect that the attitude of the mine owners and of the government was re- garded to a general attempt to reduce wages and to get back to the old days of district, instead of national negotia- tions, in labor disputes.
 The National Union of Railwaymen called a conference of delegates for April 6, at which it will be decided whether the railwaymen will support the miners The transport workers also have decided to call meeting of the executives of all the bodies affiliated with them for April to take similar action.
 Some persons point out that there IS an increasing Likelihood of the entire triple alliance, numbering almost 3,oVo,- 900 workers, laying down their tools. They point to the fact that an identical situation as regards the railroads Will be almost certain to come up again Tn August, when government control Of the railways ceases. On this account, they argue the triple alliance may see fit at the present time to make the miners cause a test case.
 The temper of the lnnevs for the walk out is indicated in their strike order which includes the pump men and other worlxmen who are essential to keep the mines in working condition. This, how ever it is declared, will be countered py the government employing naval men to go into the pits if it is necessary to take such action to prevent the ruination oi the mines The governments plan, It IS understood, even contemplates measures for the carrying on of the vital servlces' even in the event of a walk-out by the entire triple alhance. Efforts to avert such a contingency are continuing, ana in some quarters the belief is expressed that the railwaymen and the transport workers may confine their participation in the miners strike to refusal to handle cosl.
 The government in 1919 employed naval men for the pumping of mines during the strike at that time, but it Is salu that should the regular mine bumpers now be called out scores of mines lh- eyitabIy must be flooded as there are insufficient naval forces available for the work.
 Neither side to the controversy showed signs of yielding today, and the sit- nation tonight generally is regarded as tbc most serious since the 1919 mine strike. when the workers held out Tor 16 weeks.

NORMA TALMADGE IN
 YES OR NO"--RIALTO

The two young wives in "Yes or No" the Rialto feature through Sat urday. enacted by Norma Talmadge, present an interesting stuly in the inti- mate lives of two women in differing circumstances, but like experiences. Though the experiences of the two women are so similar the outcome of their lives are widely separate, because of the attitude with which each woman met the circumstances and environ ment that confronted her.
 Norma Talmadge plays the dual role of the rich and spoiled Mrs vane and the strugglinging Min Berry. She makes the two women so much alike physically, utterly different in their appeals The hard working Min, wife of a poor man. who struggles against poverty from early morn until late night with patience, faith and loyalty to her husband, is a character that wins the full sympathy of the audience. The star puts a wonderful amount of real womanhood in her portrayal of Min The spoiled Margaret Vane the overrich wife of a wealthy man, is made very beautiful to look at but the character behind the beauty is weak and she easily succumbs to the very temptation that Min so loyalty resists

 The big problem of the preponderance of women as an aftermath of the war must be solved There is solution in Allen Holubar's drama eternal, Man Woman Marriage" In the days Nef the Amazons the woman chose her mate. Men unfit to become fathers were doomed back to bachelorhood; women unfit to mother posterty were discarded. Will the women of the future demand mar riage along those lines?

The recent war with Germany
brought into prominence many in
dustries that heretofore, though of
vast proportions, were more or less
familiar only to those directly in

One of these industries was that of
storage battery manufacture. Stor-
