New Type of Movie
Booked at Apollo

That long missing ingredient, new
type of story for the screen, has been
corralled by Director Tom Foreman.
who promises a treat to the most
faded seeker of motion picture enter
tainment in his new production, Are
You a Failure?" which will be shown
next week at the Apollo.
Larry Evans, noted writer of maya
zine tales, is the author. 1t Is of more
than passing interest to note that the
accepted order Of procedure In pre-
senting a story to the public has been
reversed in this instance. Are You
a Failure?" is to be produced on the
New York stage next year, and 1t is
being released as a photoplay prior to
its publication in magazine form,
which will occur in the course Of the
next few months.
There isn't a hint of scandal nor a
shadow of the so-called inevitable
triangle" in Are You a Failure?" 1t
is just simple, straightforward mar
rative of a young chap who couldn't
make a go of anything he attempted.
When he had reached the point where
he was ready to admit to himself and
the whole world that he belonged in
that pathetic class in the scale Of hui
manity branded as failures" he sub
scribed to a correspondence course on
how to be successful.
Much to his surprise and to the
establishment Of all his associates
that is all except his sweetheart, whose
faith in him had never faltered, it
worked. The picture contains gem
erous slice Of humor, romance of the
sort that touches the heart strings
and action enough to give 1t a tinge
of melodrama- The dynamiting Of a
huge log jam in a river supplies one
of the spectacular thrills.

"The Brass Bottle"
Due at Circle

Maurice Tourneur's perturbation Of
THE Brass Bottle" adapted from the
novel by F. Anstey, the English
author, and which comes 10 the Circle
Sunday, is said to be a novel mixture
OF Arabian Nights entertainment and
modern English love story. parucu-
larly we'll suited to motion picture
photography.
The story is woven around the ad-
ventures and romance of a young
English architect who obtains at an
auction an ancient brass bottle. from
which, when the stopper is removed.
a genie sallies forth to reward his
lberator.
The scene shifts from an Arabian
palace of nearly 1000 years ago to the
England of today, and the compiled
tons that ensue with the advent of
the genie in these modern times ara
said to constitute some Of the best and
most fanciful comedy situations yet
devised for the screen.
Harry Myers portrays the role OF
the young architect, while Ernest Tor
renee is the genie. Other players in
the cast are Barbara LAMAR, Char

the fact that he was forty-two, the
youngest man to enter the White House
In American history. At the end of
his seven years he was only forty
nine, which is below the age of all
the candidates now being mentioned.
The burdens of the presidency are
admittedly greater today than they
were in the past There is no doubt
that both Warren Harding and Wood
row Wilson had the best of medical
attention. The former was fifty-five
years old when inaugurated and
served less than three years. The
latter was fifty-six years old and
broke down at sixty-three.
While many a man is stronger than
his years, the politicians are wonder
ing what the popular effect will be
of a comparison of ages if Mr.. Cool
idge, a relatively young man. is the
candidate against man much older
than he will be in March, 1925,
namely, ffty-two and half years.

AGE MAY FIGURE

Coolidge Comparatively
Young, While Other G. o. P.
Prospects Are Above 81.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Age may be literally vital issue
In the next presidential campaign.
Democrats OF prominence are begin
ming to talk among themselves about
the age of the men most suitable to
make the race against President CAL
vim Coolidge If the latter is the re-
publican nominee.
Mr.. Coolidge is just past ffty-one
and will be flfty-two years and a half
on March 4, 1926, when the next presi-
Dental term begins. Many people
who argue that the burdens of the
presidency are almost superhuman
and are clamoring that the Executive
be relieved have lost sight of the
fact that few men enter the presi-
dency of a big business at the age
of sixty or more.
Looking over the list of twenty
nine Presidents of the United States
preceding Mr.. Coolidge, 1t will be
found that all but four were fifty
seven or younger when inaugurated,
and that the majority were nearer
nfty than fifty-seven. OF the four
who entered the White House above
the age of fifty-seven, William Henry
harrison, age sixty-eight served only

In office after a year of his term.

ages of the various statesmen men
toned for the presidency, as they
would be on March 4, 1925, when the
next presidential term begins:
La Foliette' 6s years months.
Pinchot, SO years months.
Ralston. 6S years 3 months.
John w. Davis, 81 years 10 months
Al Smith, So years months.
James NJ. Cox, 81 years IL months.

months.
Carter Glass, 81 years / month.
Hiram Johnson. 5S years months.
Former Senator Kenyon of Iowa, 55
years 8 months.
Henry Ford, 81 years 6 months.
or the foregoing number only two
men are younger than President Cool
1dge and they are both democrats,
Gov. AL Smith of New York and John
w. Davis of West Virginia, the latter
OF whom is. the youngest of all the
men mentioned for the presidency. If

Inauguration of President, only

come under that mark.

sixty, or that the veteran senator
from Wisconsin, Robert NJ La Fol-

It Is not enough for one or two peo-
pie In town to fight rats for week.
The entire community must join in the
battle and continue the attack after a

containers and refuse cans kept COW

This appears to be good advice when
1t is known that each rat costs some
body half cent day, or S1.S2 year.
In inland cities there are now two
rats to each person, Mr.. Nicholes fig
ures. In seaports the proportion Is
four rats to each person and in the
country eight. The burden of support
ing these parasites falls on the human
race, and evidently people are making
1t easier, rather than harder, for rats
to get living, for Mr.. Nicholes re-
ports that rats are not only increasing

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
60. iSa2. HarIand H AIen.J
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WOOLENS AND WORSTEDS

"Just what Is the difference be-
tween woolens and worstedsT Is a
familiar question to store clerks. And
the answers given are various: That
wooden Is made from short wool and
worsted from long wool and that wool
Is carded and worsted combed. etc.
The best way, probably, to prove to
yourself what the difference Is, will
be to ravel thread from a piece of
coarse flannel, which Is woolen mate
rial. and compare 1t with raveling
from fine serge, which is worsted.
You will notice that the f1bers In the
serge raveling lie even, parallel, and
tightly twisted together. That is what
gives the finished fabric that smooth.
hard surface. showing the weave very
plainly, while the flannel raveling
shows the fiber crisscrossed and lying
In all sorts of directions with loose
ends that gives woolens their fluffy,
downy appearance. You can see at
glance that the woolen fibers have not
been combed and Strengthened out to
the same extent as the worsteds.
Making woolen yarn Is the shorter,
easier process. Woolen yarns are used
for such materials as blankets, broad
cloth, flannel, cheviot, kersey and
fancy dress goods where the weave Is
entirely obliterated. In making worst
ed yarn, the wool f1bers must be
all combed and Strengthened out
until they lie even and parallel as you
saw them in the serge raveling. Many
processes are required for this, and so
worsted goods made from pure wool
are expensive.
The finish of worsteds and woolens
Is quite different. A worsted fabric,
when finished, has clear, bright we'll
defined pattern, and some close and
finely woven. Generally the weave Is
quite distinct. Woolen cloth, on the
other hand, is more elastic. the colors
are more softly blended, and the
threads are not so easily dlstin-
guished.
In general, good quality of wool IL
used In worsteds. The long, staple
wool is best suited for this pur-
pose, and SO is generally the one used.
Shoddies and hard wastes are not used
In worsted yarns, as the long staple
wool cannot have shorter wool combed
into 1t.
On account Of the close twisting of
the yarn, and the distinct weave,
worsteds are apt to wear shiny In
places. This can usually be remedied
by dampening the place and rubbing II
with a piece of rough cloth. afterwards
pressing on the wrong side.

Endless
War on Rodents

or else the tradition became lost for
the market had to be cleaned out again
not long ago.
However the news of danger Is
spread, 1t Is evident that rats do pos
sess degree Of intelligence which
helps them to avoid danger. They are
anything but gullible, and this makes
the problem Of destroying them the
more troublesome. They quite often
avoid traps Predatory animals, such
as cats and ferrets, cannot as a rule be
used to kill them off in large numbers.
Poison, carefully and properly used,
is the most effective means of dispos-
Ing Of them on wholesale scale.
Mr.. Nicholes uses barium carbonate,
which Is tasteless and odorless. It's nc
tion upon rats is slow, so that poisoned
animals generally leave house or
barn In search Of water, and the small
quantities used to bait food for rats
are not often sufficient to kill other
creatures.
Three Kinds Of Bait Used.
The American Pied Piper carries his
reasoning about rat intelligence over
into his work of poisoning the pests.
He knows that rats are suspicious,
and so he uses three kinds Of bait, per-
haps cheese, apples and hamburger
steak. The rodents do not seem to be
able to suspect danger In as many as
three kinds Of food at one time.
Food Is placed not less than FIVE nor
more than fifteen feet apart In batting
an area. No special effort is made to
avoid handling the bait. A wild anil
mai might be warned by the associa-
tion of human being with the food,
but rat Is domesticated. The scent
of man is attached to much of the food
1t eats regularly.
The rat brain seems to work some
thing like this: The first rat comes out
and finds a piece of poisoned food. He
shifts 1t suspiciously and decides 1t
might be dangerous. He goes little
farther and finds different kind Of
food The first kind he avoided as
dangerous. He tries the second and
apparently 1t Is all right. Other rats
FOLLOW the example OF the discoverer OF
the food. A banquet follows, and then
wholesale tragedy.
$1,000 on One Farm.
The scale on which an expert rat
killer works may be imagined from the
following case: A Louisiana farm five
miles square was so overrun by rats
that nothing could be successfully
grown on 1t. Mr.. Nicholes took 10 bar
rels Of sweet potatoes, 16 cream
cheeses and an entire COW and baited
drain bitches for length Of two
miles The result was that $4,000 rats
died that night.
In spite Of such sweeping destruc-
ton no community has ever been en-
tirely cleaned Of rats. A rs per cent
death rate Is about the best record
made when city conducted rat-kill-
ing campaign. Some rats escape to the
country and come back later, and some
are not cleaned at all.
