BIG LOSS IN CORN
 FAILING TO MATURE

Washington, Oct. 24-Corn growers realize on but 64 per cent. of seed planted.
 This is the conclusion of experts or the Department of Agriculture who have just completed a comprehensive analysis extending over a period of IS years.-
 Various reasons are ascribed by the department for the difference between the potential crop and the quantity harvested, chief among which are weather conditions, defective seed, plant diseases and devastattons by in- ccct and animal pests.
 "Were it not for the clements that tend to reduce the size of the crop the average crop for the 13-year pe- r1od would have been about 4,374, ,OOO,- O00 bushels, instead of the 2,SO5, ,OOO,- QUO bushels harvested, provided the same acreage were planted" the de- partment stated.
 It was pointed out by the depart mcnt, however, that if these elements did not exist and the corn grower were certain of realizing 100 per cent. results the corn acreage probably would be greatly reduced. so that the final output would hardly be in ex- cess of the crop actually harvested. .. 1t would mean simply that the farmer could get from about two acres the crop he now harvests from said.
 1he largest potential crop was one of about 5000, ,oOO, ,OOo bushels in 1917. although the actual harvest of S,065, ,O00,0O bushels in that year was exceeded In 1912, 1920 and 1921, the largest harvested crop being S,2Os,- 000,000 bushels in 1920" the depart ment said. "A large crop of corn," 1t was explained, lis due to q relatively low prevention of production by the many causes by which it is limited ; but, of course, production Is also related to acreage"
 During the l years the lowest de- gree of prevention was 23.5 per cent of potential crop in 1920, and the highest was 44.5 per cent. in 1913, the departments records show.
 Within the period covered" the department said, from about one fourth to nearly one-haIf Of a poten- tial production has failed to be real ized. The. average is a litle more than one-thtrd."

EDDIE CANTOR IN
 "MkKE IT SNAPPYU
 10 OPEN MAJESTIC
New Poli Theate Opens Sat urday, Nov. 4-To Pre- sent High Class Dramatic Stock Productions.

With the glory of the opening of the beautiful Polt Palace Theatre not yet dimmed comes the announcement made by Sylvester z. Poli himself, that the twin, SC to speak of the Pal ace, the new Poli Majestic, just adjoin- ing the Palace and now practically f1n- ishcd, will open its doors for the first time on Saturday. November 4th. in the nature of a preliminary intro duction of the theatre to be followed on the next Monday. night with the premiere Of the regular policy which will be dramatic stock.
 For the opening on Saturday, both matinee and night, MT. PoH has se- lected Eddie Cantor in "N&ke It Snappy,, and this seems to be an ideal selection for a new, modern, beautiful playhouse for Eddie Cantor today is without question Americas foremost black ana white face sing ing comedian. When he comes here with Make It Snappy,' iile brings his entire company of one hundred intact and the production in two acts and 27 scenes will be Given exactly as during where it headed all the musical com edy attractions.
 Popular Prices.
 Besides his fame as a stage enter tainer, Cantor Is perhaps the best known and most popular of all the musical comedy stars making records and local interest will attach to his appearance here for he has just signed a contract with the COluInD1a GraphO- phone company which will net him S3O0,O0O.
 Despite the almost prohibitive cost of bringing such a famous organiza- tion to this city for just two perform ances, an added cost by the way be- cause 1t was necessary to pay a large sum of money to the Providence thea tre where the Cantor show is now playing to get a release for Saturday, the big day of the week. MT. Poli has established a popular price scale of admission with two dollars the top price of admission in the afternoon and three dollars at night.
 The evening performance will be in the nature of a benefit for the Junior League under the direction of Mrs Archibald McNeil Jr., and other we'll known society ladies and announce ment is made that all seats will go on sale at the box office on Monday morning next at nine o'clock.

topped by a jumper of rose colored velvet, embroidered in gold and silver thread and hemmed with dark fur.
 The general result was somewhat suggestive of Little Princess in the Tower" toilette. but the wearer, at least, carried it off very well.
 There are other sensations in the dress world to be recorded. One is 'the use of areopIane silk for smart gowns-one of the minor and quite unforeseen results of the war!
 This was dyed yellow and used to make teagown. the surface of which was decorated with rings of black monkey fur, each circle showing a turquoise embroidered motif in the center.
 Then, again, there is the fashion of wearing a miniature holster round what is called by courtesy the waist line. The effect can be arrived at in a variety of ways, generally by twist ing a length of the dress material to the required thickness. To be correct a sort of holster diadem of velvet or tissue should be worn as a headdress
 Another novelty Is reversible velour. On one side it shows the woo1en sur face of the material so popular for coats and skirts, but the reverse is shot satin, and so the use of extra material flor collar and cuffs is un- necessary.

PARIS ADVERTISES MERITS OF
 WINE DRINKING TO AMERICANS:
 INVITED TO HAND OF LIBERTY'

Paris, Oct. 24.-Do Americans in Paris need to be urged to have a drink?
 The associated wine producers of France evidently think so. They ad- vertised widely in English language newspapers recently the merits of rouge" and "b1anc.''
 These advertisements welcome 'our An. .eri. an f'ier'1c" 10 the 'boIfV our land'' and to "our ripening vine- yards"
 ''The poilu and the Tank. shoulder to shoulder in the trenches shared one with another the rations Of their home land,' says one advertisement They exchanged wine for chocolate and were we'll satisfied with the trade.

1. The murder was obviously the work of a degenerate. The inquest showed the child had been criminally attacked. The body bore signs of ex- treme violence inflicted before death
 2. The criminal it is believed, must have been familiar with the in terior of the theatre.
 8. The cutting up of the body, done with a very sharp instrument was evidently the work either of a surgeon or an expert butcher.
 No evidence has been discovered that the crime was committed in the theatre. The body showed no signs of having packed for transpor- tation. To find the fiend who mur- dered Suzanne Barba1a is the puzzle of the day.
 Truth, as one paragrapher points out. is the strangest thing ever ex- hibited at theMadelon Cinema!

STAMbOUL OVATION
 TENDERED PASHA

Constantinople, Oct. 24-CBy the A. P.)-The foreign quarter and non Moslem districts of Constantinop1e spent a restless night owing to the boisterous celebrations in Stamboul, the Turks section, in connection with the public reception of Rafet Pasha, military governor of Eastern Thrace, and his gendarmes.
 Heavy explosions of fireworks were audible in all sections, giving rise to the fear that the demonstration might develop at any moment into q more serious affair. The Allied po- lice were largely reinforced, and the night passed without any serious 1n- cident, although the high state of tension continued until almost day break.

and they, too. have found nothing harmf fIl-nothing immoral-nothing unhealthfu1 in the normal customs of wine drinking handed down to the world from Biblical days.
 'NFhe American soldier in France liked our wines-the juice of the grapes of France, nurtured in the soil of France. ripened under the sunny skies of France. The custom of wine drinking with meals appealed to him dl1eront, it w saloon reve1ry, it was nourishing food, clean, pure. healthfu1, harmless"

They're Topped by Jumper of Rose-Coored Vel vet Embroidered in Gold and Silver, Hemmed with Fur

Freakish fashions are making their advent in London this fall, according to the following authoritative article i written for International News Ser vice by "Corisande,' noted English fashion writer. Among them are black velvet trousers, the "holster," and the use of aeroplane silk for evening gowns.
 By CORISANDE. (Written for the International News
 Service.)
 London, Oct. 24.-Beauty may now wear black velvet trousers instead of an ordinary evening skirt.
 Probably the dress critics will not approve, and for the present, at any rate, the velvet trousers will most likely appear only in the home.
 Still, it has come, so there's no knowing when it may make it's pub lie appearance.
 It made it's debut in Albermarle street, where Miss Elspeth Phelps was showing Autumn fashions, and so far as the grace and line are con- cerned the feminine version of the trousers is far ahead of that worn by ordinary man.
 There is a puff, too, just above the knee and another below it that stops short a few inches above the ankle, and the black velvet model seen was

sUPER-PLAY AT THE LIBERTY
 THEATRE STARTING TONIGHT

The play at the Liberty Theatre to- night and tomorrow is the special g. reel production of Cecil B. DeMille said to be the most elaborate thing of it's kind yet shown.
 Jeanie Macpherson is the author of the story and in addition wrote al! the sub-titles, which scintillate with clever phraseology, thought and wit.
 The Affairs of Anatol," presents the divorce problem in a new light and in such a masterly way as to en- able one to analyze this present day question. DeMille has never produced a better play or one dealing in more truth. It is a powerful story of seri- ous vein, with enough sympathetic comedy to relieve the tension without in any way detracting from the theme.
 Wallace Reid and Gloria Swason ! head the list of notable stars compos- ing the cast; the aggregation has new CT been excelled The art work is from the brush of the famous artist Paul Tribe, and the coloring of the film is by the quadri-color process exclu- sively owned by the Paramount Go.
 This latest play of DeMille was se- cured only by additional cost and on time limit; in consequence the Lib erty Theatre announces charge Of soc admission for adults and 25c> for children.
