Members

Last year, two 500 scholarships
were offered by the Baltimore and

along the B. & o. lines in this
state. who made the best showing
in club work. These scholarships
were won by Adele Bigelow, Wood
county, and jackson Randolph,
Harrison county.
Tho club booklets prepared by
these youngsters went direct to
President Daniel Willard, who has
taken a keen personal interest in
the work among the farm boys and
girls, as he demonstrated when he
took these booklets homo to show
his family. This interest is further
shown by the fact that the B. & o.
is continuing these scholarship OF.
fers with possibilities that they
will be still further increased In
the future.
How the B. & o. has changed
its angle of approach to the agrl-
cultural problem in the past few
years is illustrated by its offer of
scholarships to boys and girls as
an incentive for development. Only
a few years ago, expensive agrlcui-
tural trains with crops Of attend
ants were sent through the state to
give lectures and make exhibits to
the farming people along the rail-
road lines. Now the railroads feel
that equally satisfactory results
are being reached by scholarships
offered as stimulus to the 10000
boy and girl club members IN West
Virginia.
As further evidence OF the sat.
isfactory results obtained in West
Virginia, the B. & o. has also
given similar scholarships in Vir-
ginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Corporation Believed to
Be Supporting Coal
Operators

With the proposed conference OF
bitumInous coal operators OF the
central competitive fields and of
flcials of the United Mine Workers
called by Secretary Of Labor Davis
in New York City on March Is,
Just a little more than a week
hence, there have been no new de-
velopments in the threatened coal
strike here.
1t has been learned here that the
Pittsburgh vein operators OF East
ern Ohio are in favor Of meeting
the miners officials and presumab-
ly will attend the Davis confer
ence in New York City II one ma
terializes. In the Coshocton and
Crooksvllle districts Of Ohio, 1t is
reported that the operators are not
adverse to meeting the miners and
probably would also be represented
at the New York meeting. These
last mentioned fialds, known as
the Middle district, are not as large
as the Eastern Ohio and Hooking
Valley fields.
Charges are being made that the
tie-up in tho Hooking Valley field
Is due to the influence Of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation whose
attitude against organized labor is
widely known. According to the
information reaching Fairmont, the
steel corporation has a finger In

For many years the miners have

ism was apparent as Is being ex-

Encourages Experiments
1.-THE best way to develop the
peculiar qualities of this drug and
its value in crlmlnology is to en-
courage as many experiments as
possible.
II make no extravagant claims
for the drug. l simply state that
in the cases of 900 women, to
whom I've administered scopola-
min in childbirth cases in the last
SIX years, the drug has proved its
power to inhibit imagInatlons and
prevent the patient. from telling
anything but the truth.
1.-THE method OF administering
truth serum is entirely different
from the technique advised for
the administration of scopolamin
to induce twilight sleep.
stronger doses can. be admin
stored for mind tests. The wo-
man In childbirth is safest when a
condition known as amnesia has
been Inuuceu.
Deeper Sleep
"But in dealing with a criminal
a deeper. sleep, known as analge-
sia, must be brought about.
I'm making tests important
questions should not be presented
until memory tests convince the
operator that the patients mind
is In receptive mood.
Further, to insure absolute re-
liability, the patient may be given
a few whiffs of choloform, the an

to prevent possibility OF the pa

II want to emphasize that SEQ

it has remained favorite for gem
GRAFTON after generation. 1t has been
made into a stage play, in which
form it scored one of the grandest
triumphs. yet marked up for a
speaking production. So that it fol-
lows naturally that its coming to
the screen to be Interpreted by Mary
Pickford is an event that will COM
bine in interest the favor it has en-
joyed in both the forms above men
toned.
Nor is this all: Little Lord Faunt
leroy is the first picture Mary
Piclford has made for sometime.
Into the portrayal she offers in this
picture. it has been said that she
eclipses anything perhaps that she
has ever done. Her humor 1t seems
is more Infectious, her emotional
scenes finer and of more substance,
her dramatic sequences excelIently
handled, and the atmosphere of
gladness and sunshine that she
maintains throughout the entire pro-
duction is positively irresistible.
Again Little Lord Fauntleroy'
marks easily one of the most diff
ficult dual Characterization yet as
signed a feminine star. In the pic
ture, Mary Pickford plays the little
lord, as we'll as his mother. revered

where can one discover a more low
able character than dearest the
mother? So the importance OF the
announcement that Mary Pickford s
role is a dual one will be instantly
appreciated when those familiar with
Little Lord Fauntleroy" pause a
moment to consider just what this
means.
And still another joyful and ap-
preciated angle comes into view
when it is announced that Little
Lord Fauntleroy" was made at Mary
Pickford's own studios. She stinted
nowhere. she neglected no item OF
expense. she economical in no in
stance-but issued instructions that
the most comprehensive and COM

Her brother, Jack Pickford, and Al

have done their work is evidenced
in the avalanche of praise which has
been showered on the production.
praise with which every reader OF
