No Advance in Price.
We have decided to give our many
good friends of New Ulm and vicinity
a treat by presenting this big program
next Sunday afternoon and evening
and on Monday evening at our regular
admission prices, namely, 10 and 25
cents. Remember, these seven hand
colored reels Of the Oberammergau
Passion Play are genuine and alone
would be well worth our small admis-
sion, but, in addition to these pictures,
you will hear choir of some thirty
voices sing beautiful songs and a nine
piece orchestra play special music.

also be a pleasing comedy and hand
colored Prizma. Really 5O-cent
program, but we charge only 25 cents
for adults, while little tots can see. the
big show for only 10 cents. This is
a program that will interest the whole
family, so don't leave anyone at home

Grandma down to the little fodder.
Remember, also, that our Sunday
Matinee starts promptly at o'clock,
while the two Sunday evening shows
commence at and 8 sharp, respec-

p. m.
Free Saturday Matinee.
Don't forget to come and bring the
Riddles to our free matinee next Satur-

when some of the films failed to ar

this next Saturday, however, by show

pictures secured from the University
Of Minnesota. If you want to feel
young and happy, come and watch
the little folks enjoy the free matinee.
Before you realize it, you'll forget your

Those Vandal Tourists.

Indignation has been aroused In
certain circles in Switzerland, reports
the Geneva correspondent of the
London Daily News, by the vandalism
Of tourists In destroying the flora of
the Alps. Some of the flowers are
becoming more and more rare, and
lovers of the mountains have been
panied to find on their excursions
whole roots dragged from the soil and
Tying dead.
This is especially the case with the
edelweiss, and the mountaineer writes
from Gryon to the Tribune de Geneve,
pointing out that on the Arete OAR
gentine, one Of the rare spots in that
neighborhood where the plant still
blooms, many roots were found pulled
up. The edelweiss is somewhat diff
cult to pluck, and those who gather
1t should cut the stem of the flower
with knife, so that the root may be
left to flower again next year for the
pleasure of other tourists.

FLAPPER GOT IN A WORD
Not Much to Say, but There Was

For once the very modern girls flap

She sat and munched English mullins
and slipped tea while the very modern

school friend from out of town, who
wore shiny new ring on the fourth
finger of her left hand.
The out-of-town girl did most Of the

out stopping to catch her breath, while
the very modern girl leaned forward
with sparkling eyes, anticipating the
good time she would have spreading
the news, and the flapper slouched in
her chair and dug her teeth into the
English mullins.
"And now, tell me. what is Jack
like?" demanded the very modern girl.
"Who is he like? Any Of the boys we
used to know"
The engaged girl reflected. NO."
she hesitated, 81 don't know anyone
just like Jack. Except-well, mother
says he's lot like me. He's full of
fun and very generous, and such gen

The flapper stirred and stopped
chewing.
"Did you say he was like you?" she
demanded suddenly.

ONE THAT HE DIDN'T SHOW
Autograph Faker Probably Carefully
Put Away That Particular Copy
Of MarIowe's Works.

Senator Lodge at Boston dinner
party said, apropos Of an autograph
collector who had bought fake auto
graph of Marlowe, the Elizabethan
dramatist:
"That reminds me. There was once
New York man who collected books
with autograph dedications. Most Of
these delegations were to himself.
Open his Longfellows, his Kiplings, his
Bernard Shaws, or his Maupassants.
and there would be his name In
fiattering autograph deduction from
Rudy or Guy, from Henry or George.
"Now, this mans friends had no
ticed, or thought they had noticed,
certain similarity about the handwrit
ing of all these dedications. Probably
they were wrong, but anyhow. after ne
had shown a fine folio volume OF Mar
lowe to a festive gathering one even
ing, he found inscribed in the ancient
book the next morning the following
words:
"'To Bill'-his name was William
From his faithful old friend and
schoolmate, Kit Marlowe.'"

Potato Ancestors.

Thirteen thousand feet above sea
level In the mountains of northern
Ecuador, the region which is believed
by scientists to be the cradle of the
potato race, there has been found a
wild species of this plant The dis
coveries were made by Wilson Pope
noe Of the bureau of plant industry,
Department of Agriculture.
Our own large, developed potatoes
would be just as proud of these noun
tain Murphies as Mr.. Bryan Is of the
anthropoid apes; for the Andean va
riety from which our own has sprung
is too small to be of economic impor-
lance. Plant breeders In this country,
however, hope that tests may show
characteristics which will make it
worth while to combine them with our
cultivated kinds by crossing. The
wild tubers produce seed rather free
ly, but also are subject to one Of the
potato diseases of which their cul-
tured brothers are often victims.

SKYSCRAPER BUILT ON STILLS
New York Architects Are Putting Up
sIo Structure With Seemingly
Slender Supports.

A great, complicated skyscraper is
being built in New York under unusual
conditions, directly above the railroad
tracks Of busy terminal. The tracks
running beneath its walls In some
places are double-decked, so that trains
pass on two levels through the base
ment of the building. The entire struc-
ture rests upon slender stills, extending
between the tracks down to bedrock.
A unique method has been found for
isOlating these uprights so that the
constant rumbling Of heavy trains on
both levels causes not the slightest
vibration in the building above.
This construction, including the dig
ging for the foundation and the erec-
ton of the building, Is being carried
on without affecting the movement of
trains beneath. The entire weight of
the skyscraper rests upon the sup
ports rising between the tracks, which
are spacel in the usual way. Although
capable of supporting 20 or more
stories, these stills seem surprisingly
slender. Both track levels beneath
the building are remarkably free from
distractions, so that engineers have
clear view Of other tracks to either
side.
1t was at first believed that only
structures of six or eight stories could
be safely supported on such founda-
lions. A series of tests, including the
measurements Of vibration caused by
the passing Of trains, proved that
buildings could safely be raised to ~
stories on these supports Excava-
tons for foundations have been car
ried down until the beams rest upon
solid rock. The whole operation has
been carried on without upsetting train
schedules.
Each column supporting the building
Is completely isolated. 1t is not enough
to keep 1t from touching the founda-
lions on which the tracks lie. 1t also
must be protected by vibration mats
from the rock on which 1t rests, so
that vibrations from passing trains
will not affect it.

from the Frelinghuysen amendment in
that 1t lays down no policy, leaving the
way open for the application OF the
Democratic theory OF a tariff for rev.
enue only. and in that it does not give
the Tariff Commission the power to fix
rates. The Democratic contention has
been that Congress can not pass along
its. authority In dealing with revenue
issues.
The Democrats do not expect, of
course. to obtain the adoption of the
Jones amendment, but what they
want is a substitute Tor the amendment
