Chinese Wear Stoves.

Chinese women wear practically the
same clothes in winter as in summer.
In the most severe weather, however,
they wear heating baskets under their
clqaks.
These baskets are plain wicker ones,
suclr as we use for trash. Inside the
baskets charcoal warmers are placed.
They will radiate heat for hours.
The charcoal is mixed with chemi-
calls that generate oxygen. and thus
the charcoal will burn constantly, even
though it is sealed in the containers.

TAKEN BACK TO
OUR CHILDHOOD
IN SCHOOL DAYS

Grownups will have a chance to
live over their childhood again next
week during the showing of
School Days" at the Capitol. Wes-
ley Barry, the freckled-faced mo-
vie star, heads the cast in the play.
Wesley, as the untamable and ire
sponsible Speck Brown, loves the
old swimmin' hole and his dog
Hippy more than all the wealth
and education in the world. But
he chances to meet wealthy uncle
who induces him to pursue an edu-
cation among the juvenile high
brows in the east. In his new sur
roundings Speck tries to be chum-
my. He also tries to put over an
invention perfected by his old
friend Left He finds himself
duped bya pair of slever swindlers-
Disguised with the artificial ex-
istence of his wealthy schoolmates,
keenly disappointed by his failure
to put over the invention, Speck
longs for the old Swimmin' hole
and his dog. In the small hours of
the morning he runs away from his
palatial residence, boards a freight
train and finally arrives safely back
in his old haunts. Once more he
is happy, for he not only has his
dog, but also his little sweetheart,
and he can roam at will through
natures playground. Prominent
members of the cast supporting
Master Barry include Francis Y.
Conlan, Airline Blackburn, Mar
garet Seldom, George Lessey and J.
H. GilmOur.
The Capitol will introduce pro-
logue with a number of boys and
girls. This act was written by Gus
Edwards and will be produced I'M
der direction of his brother, Leo
Edwards. Many of Gus Edwards
songs will be presented. The act
was organized in Chicago and will
be seen for the first time on the
Capitol stage.

GARDEN OFFERS
FEATURED BILL
FOR NEXT WEEK

An exceptionally strong program
has been arranged for the Garden
theatre opening tomorrow. by Man
ager Ralph Blank, with the feature
picture, Mae Murray in "Fascina-
ton" An educational comedy,
Danger" a laugh producer, and
Edward Mickels at the Garden su-
per-organ playing In Blue Bird
Land" are added numbers on the
program.
Miss Murray believes that jazz
dancing provides the pep" that
persons who are indoors greater
part of the day need. Miss Murray
is herself a dancer of note, and
was a star in Ziegfeld's Follies be-
fore she entered motion pictures.
In Fascination" the popular star
introduces a number of new dances.
Jazz and dancing are twins for
most of us, anywhow," says Miss
Murray. They may criticize jazz
music as savage and everything
else, but the fact remains that 1t
stirs something inside of you that
makes you feel like dancing. 1t sort
of 'peps' you all up and makes you
feel good.
Suppose one has been sitting in
an office all day long, don't you
think it's good thing if he can
get in half an hour of jazz at the
end of the day? 1 do. It's a good
thing to get your body into motion
with every muscle in play. It's a
good thing to get your toes twink
ling. to get your legs in action. I'm
all for the freedom of the knees.
1t means a realcas of energies-a
sort of intoxication, if you will, but
an intoxication that means health
and happiness.
81 should think everyone would
feel it. But l know there are those
who think dancing is wicked, just
as there are those who think jazz
wicked. And now l suppose they
will frown upon the intoxication of
the enjoyment of nature. just as
they have frowned upon these 9TH
er things. But while l have breath,
l will always be fighting for jazz
and dancing"

tory promptly withheld their milk and
persuaded non-members 20 do so also.
Within three days practically the en-
tire Whiting supply from regular
sources was cut off
The Whiting Company continued for

milk from other cources. The fight
has now come down TO an endurance
contest Other Boston dealers have

The issue Is on a clean cut prin-
ciple Of whether the farmers who
supply the Whiting interests shall be
relieved from an injustice which they
have suffered for some months past.
Other dealers have paid more than
butterfat prices for surplus milk but
for eight months past the Whiting
Company has failed TO do so. The
average for the eight months is about
'25 cents per hundred pounds less than
the milk would have brought IL made

which the association will not permit
to continue. The association Is in the
