To-day and Thursday-"The Cheat"
Two dozen ostrich plumes, some
trailing the ground, were used in
making a beautiful and unique fan,
carried by Pola Negri in a scene for
"The Cheat" in which she stars. This
fan is made so that one end is COM
posed of short plumes, while the
others slope downward till the other
extreme is reached. They are of a
rich brown hue to match the brown
velvet gown of fantastic design, with
gold cloth applique and collar.

at night by singing to them. Great
! herds of cattle are easily set in MS

and will stampede if their fears are
not set at rest. Riding on the out
skirts of the herd, the cowboys resort
to song as the best method. The
words of "Bury me not on the lone
prairie" will frequently be heard il
the lonely night watches as some soil.

WILL CONTINUE CANAL WORK
President Coolidge Signs Bill That
Makes More Work Possible


Makes More Work Possible
President Coolidge having signed
the Army appropriation bill, further
development of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal will be continued. The
appropriation bill carries funds for
further development of the Canal,
Wilmington harbor and other water
way projects in Delaware. It was at
first feared that the bill was among
those which had been lost in the rush
prior to adjournment of Congress.
Had it failed, the work on the Canal
would have been seriously crippled.
The sum of S12,O0O,0OO is to be ex-
pended on the improvement of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in
making it a sea-level waterway, with
width and depth sufficient to accom-
odate the largest vessels navigating
the Delaware, and engaged in the At
lantic coastwise trade. Approximate
ly S1,000,000 a year is being allotted
for this work, and it now is anticipat-
ed that the Engineer Board will grant
such a sum for carrying on the i'm
provements now under way. The
Army appropriation bill also carried
funds for maintaining the work of
the engineer dredge Minquas, which
is employed in keeping the channel of
the Christiana clear, and a sum suf-
ficient to continue the dredging of the
new channel from the Christiana to
the Delaware and the new turning
basin off the Marine Terminal.

Big Lips for Beauty
Is Idea of Africans

The women Of the Lake Tchad re-
glon of Central Africa vie with one
another as to who can possess the
longest lips.
When girls are about four or five
years old their future husbands pierce
a hole in the center of the upper and
lower lips with big thorn or a knife.
Through these holes he places thick
straws or reeds
In few weeks when the girl has
become used to the punctures, wooden
pegs the size Of lead pencil are
pushed into the holes, says London
Tlt-Blts. Three months later, when
the lips have become accustomed to
the distension, larger pegs are insert
ed. At twenty-five fashionable ma
tron of the Saras-Djlnges tribe is like
ly to have disks seven inches wide In
the lower lip and five inches wide In
the upper. Up to this time the disks
stick straight out like birds bills, but
now they drop down from their
weight.
After this larger disks are inserted
about once a year. 1t is matter Of
social pride with woman to go on
increasing her lips as long as pos
slble.
