johnson will pay the union rate
for every line of work in his build
ing operations for the next twelve

1--WE are not going TO lower the
wages of our workmen. We intend
to maintain regular union rates
during the coming year. We be-
lieve the present wages received b.
carpenters, painters and affiliated

Mr.. Johnson declared that he is OPP

feduce the present wages of Lowell

get better work done by paying

FLOPS
IN "ENCHANTMENT"

Have you a daughter of the FLAP
per" age whose ways are beyond UNI
derstanding-who thinks the world
was created for and around her
whom you love with all your heart
but cannot quite comprehend
Are you ''fapper" yourself? Ad-
NIT it. 1t is the best age after all,
for it is the one time in your life
when you have a very high opinion of
yourself. And do you find it hard to
educate your mother and father?
Don't they seem to you little old
fashioned, a little behind the times
Is your best girl "flapper?" You
may think this is the most unkindest
cut of all. 1t isn't, for she will not
only grow out of it but while she is
in it she is an adorable chatterbox
who thinks herself as nice as you
think her. But did you ever try to
tame her? 1t is a perilous thing and
may cost you her love if you don't do
it well.
These three angles of the "flapper"
question are three of the most inter
esting angles in present day life. All
three viewpoints are presented and
worked out in 'Enchantment," Co.'S
mopolitan production for Paramount,
starring Marion Davies, which will be
shown at the Virginia theatre Friday
and Saturday. In support of Miss
Davies are: Forrest Stanley, Tom
Lewis, Edith Shayne, Arthur Rankin,
Corinne Barker and other notable
players.
