BY MARTHA MANSFIELD
Star Now Working I'm Film
Guild Studio.

This year the actors and actresses
OF the movies will spend out Of
their own pockets well over $1,000
| 600 on clothes. Vanity? Not at all.
Their contracts require It. In pic
lures you yourself have to buy all
modern suits and dresses, so that
presently you long for a story which
requires only a Jackie Coogan out
fit or one Of these Cinderella-girl
Wardrobes.
It takes about 40 per cent Of your
salary TO do this. no matter how
much you make. Therefore the Graf
ty player-and this applies TO anna
teurs too-acquires as large a ward
robe as possible and uses for minor
scenes those clothes which have not
been too conspicuous in other pic
lures.
There's the trick-don't buy con-
spicuous clothes. They are never
smart even If they do Photograph
we'll. And after the picture has
been out a few months. all those
extreme styles will have passed out
of fashion so quickly that people
Will think the picture was made
during the Spanish war. And you
can never wear them in another
picture.
You will have to have new gowns
for every production. The costumes
must fit the part exactly. You have
TO study and think and observe for
days to get the details just right.
Frank Borzage. who made "HumOr-
esque," sent an assistant 200 miles
10 buy a funny corduroy hat he had
seen on the head OF an Italian gar
dener like the one he was to have in
a picture; and he had TO pay $50
for it. For character parts 1t is i'm
perative to get the real articles from
second hand shops. rather than new
from costumers. Then have them
re-cut TO 1T you.
Short girls would do well to wear
long, straight lined dresses-'moyen

Lucas owns Cold Spring Farm, which
she inherited from her father, the late
Judge Daniel b. Lucas, who came into
possession after the death of Colonel
Bob Lucas; Rion Lucas owns Elmwood
Farm, in which ]. s. Lucas and Miss
Bette Lucas still have a life interest:
ArmiStead y. Lucas owns tract which
ne has converted into fine apple or
chard; Robert M. Lucas owns another
farm; and Norman Lucas has a nice
little farm adjacent. All of these were
a part OF the original tract, though q
considerable acreage has passed into
other hands.
Having cleared such land as was
desired for farming purposes, the Lu-
cases carefully preserved large bodies
Of woodland from generation to gener-
alton. Some Of the owners regarded
1t as sacrilege to cut down q good,
sound tree, and were not overly anx-
ious to use even those that showed
decay. Old folks still speak OF the
splendid timber that was a part of
the Lucas estates. But gradually il
has disappeared. When portions of
the land passed into other hands,
those who purchased it had no scruples
as to using the timber on it. For one
reason or another the heirs Of the orig
lnal owners would clear a piece Of
woods, and only within the past year
large tract that was once the pride
OF Elmwood, just east of the Duffieds
road, has fallen to the lumberman's
axe. 1t makes a great change in the
landscape-and not for the better, in
the opinion of those who love the
trees and the beauty they give to the
country. observer we'll remembers
some OF the splendid oak trees that
compelled the admiration Of all behold
ers-giants in majestic strength and
splendor.
1t has been suggested that one reason
no barn was ever built on Cold Spring
Farm was because Colonel Bob could
MT bring himself to cut down the trees
necessary to provide the lumber. OF
all his clan, he was most jealous of his
timber, and under no conditions would
ne allow an oak or a hickory or a wal
nut to be cut down. The new barn,
however, is being built from trees cut
In the woodland on the place. Miss
virginia Lucas is not without some fear
that one OF these nights she may have
to face the reproachful spirit OF Col
onel Bob, calling her to account for
allowing his favorite old trees to be
felied. Whether he returns or not,
however, it is conceded that his bones
have turned over in his grave sever.

Doc Payton To Be Hanged.

Monroe S. Payton, the negro or Hin
du known as Doc Payton, charged with
assaulting Hazel johnson, a nine-year-
old white child at Martinsburg July
8, 1921, is facing the gallows. He has
been sentenced to be hanged on Friday,
May 4th.
Payton, II will be recalled, eluded the
officers after committing his dastardly
crime, and Is supposed to have hidden
in the woods near Shepherdstown for
a week or more. He then made his
way to Coatesville, Pa, where he again
escaped as he was about to be ar
rested. On January 18th he was cap
tured at Fairmont, w. Va, and landed
In the Martinsburg Jail. Tuesday
night Of last week the slick villain
broke out Of the Martinsburg Jail, but
was captured in Winchester on Thurs.
day and again landed in prison, where
he was shackled and kept under guard
until his trial.
He was placed on trial In the Berke.
ley Circuit Court on Tuesday OF this
week. a very large crowd attending the
proceedings. The little girl identified
the man and tsld q pitiful but lucid
story Of the crime. Other witnesses
eor,oborated her story. His defense
was an alibi, and his lawyers tried to
prove that he was not In Martinsburg
at the time Of the crime. His wit.
nesses, however, could not establish
this, and there could be no shadow OF
doubt as to his guilt. The only witness
IS he had were colored people from
Winchester. II took the jury only ten
minutes to return q verdict Of guilty,
whereupon Judge Woods sentenced him
to be hanged at the State Penitentiary
In Moundsville on May 4th.
Payton seemed unconcerned durina
the trial, and when he was sentenced
he calmly held out his hands for the
handcufs when the officers led him
avay. Sheriff Dean took no chances
Of another escape on the part Of Pay
ten, and had him conveyed at once to
the penitentiary, where he now awaits
his> fate.

Corporation Election.

Inc annual corporation election was
neid in Shepherdstown last Monday,
and though there had been but little
preliminary interest, the placing of a
second ticket in the field had the effect
OF bringing out large vote. The
council that had served so satisfac,
Ioriiy the past year was up for re-
eiection, and the vote that it received
on Monday showed that the people
were reasonably well satisfied with its
work. An opposition ticket was nam
ed, however, headed by M. Grantham
bast as mayor and ]. D. Billmyer as
recorder. 1t was understood that this
ticket was against the enforcement Of
the milk ordinance enacted by the pres
ent council, and when this became
known the women Of the community
got busy and came to the rescuel
They electioneered all day long, and
brought to the polls the women voters
in large numbers, some Of whom had
never voted before. The new ticker
stole march early in the morning
some OF its advocates telling the color
ed people that il the old ticket should
be elected it would permit no hogs
or chickens to be raised within the
corporation. Before this campaign lie
could be nailed considerable propor-
tion Of the colored voters had cast their
ballots for the new ticket. The tide
was soon turned, however, and victory
for the old ticket was assured. The
final result showed that 22o votes had
been cast for j. Strider Moler, the
present mayor, to So for M. G. Bast,
heading the new ticket In all, 200
votes were cast, 138 OF which were de-
posted by women. The following is
the vote in detail.
