MARIE TEMPEST, OLD
FAVORITE., ACCLAIMED

LONDON, August r. London
critics are hailing with acclaim the
return Of Marie Tempest to musical
comedy after an absence of Is
years in straight comedy roles. Her
recent appearance in a comedy
fantasy occasioned an ovation or
her every entry, and after the close
of the last act Miss Tempest was
kept on the stage for IS minutes
while the audience, English audi
ences are the most conservative IN
the world, expressed it appreciation
by gale of handclappng, care
pounding and shouting.
So overcome was Miss Tempest at
/ her reception that once, during sh9
second act she completely forgot
her lines, and was forced to inn
provise for several minutes she CON
fessed at the close of sthe4 evening.
London critics said that ire enthusi-
asm with which she was hailed was
memorable.
Miss Tempest who Is So years
old first appeared on the stage in
"Boccacio," in 1885.

countrv's service and whose conf
dence has been so cruelty and cor
ruptly abused"
Finally, Mr.. Davis said he entered
the campaign free from pledge OF
promise to any man ard would
"hold it SO to the end" Also he
declared that when it became neces-
sarv to raise funds for tie conduct
of the campaign they would be con
tributed with this understanding
and this only: that neither the Dem
ocratic party nor as its leader have
any favors for sale"
Expressing in general terms his
approval of the proposals contained
in the platform adopted by the con
vention which nominated him, tht
candidate said he could not be ex-
pected at this moment to discuss
them in detail or to outline the
methods by which they are to be
carried into effect.
There will be time enough fol
that" he said.
For the aid of the farmer, Mr.
Davis said the Democrats proposed
to see to it that the determinations
which the tariff makes against him
shall be removed; that this govern
ment bysdoing its share toward .
European settlement shall help tC
revive and enlarge his foreign mark
cts; that the forces of government
shall be put actively to work to lend
assistance to endeavors of extending
the principle of cooperative market
ing; that when widespread distress
has overtaken him, every power
which the government enjoys under
the Constitution shall be exerte.. in
his aid.
"He is entitled, too, to demand an
adequate service of transportation
at a reasonable rates." the candidate
said. I'm spite of the failures ard
short comings of existing laws, this
is an ideal which l can not believe
to BE beyond the reach of attain
ment."

IN0GENE SAYS SHE
QUIT. WASN'T FIRED
Blond Beauty Whose Name is
Linked With Tinney's Says
She Made Mistake

NEW YORK, August 12.-"It
seems that I'm being made the
goat of farce comedy. Somebody
is trying to get some cheap bene-
fit out of my affairs"
Imogen Wilson the slender
blonde girl who used to cavot in
the Follies chorus and has occupied
the front pages Of the public prints
along with Frank Tinney for the
last two months, or more, was de-
fiant Wednesday.
She was in her apartment at She
fashionable Ambassador Hotel not
swollen-eyed, nor down-hearted
over the departure Tuesday OF
Frank for London dance halls, but
determined ito tell a few true
fact sabout the messy business she
finds herself in.
perhaps l have done lot OF
things l should not have done,
she admitted, "but we all make
mistakes and the truth hasn't been
told yet"
Flo Ziegfeld announced We'd
nesday that Imogene had been
dropped from the FoIiess' kicking
line because she just wouldn't let
Frank Tinney alone.
Indeed, was not fired" de
cIared Imogene, drawing herself up
to regal heights. 81 told Mr.. zieg-
field a week ago that I was leaving
because | had another engagement.
How could he fire me if I had al
ready left? We are still very coed
friends and he has been awfu}ly
nice to me all through my
troubles"
But Flo had another story.
"Miss Wilson promised me aftee
her suicide party and subsequent
assault suit she brought against
Tinney that she would not have
anything more to do with him." he
said. But when she went down n
the boat yesterday to tell him good
by, she broke that promise.
"She has brought US a lot of I'M
pleasant notoriety. And I'm afraid
she would have a bad effect on the
Follies' girls if She stayed"

HARDING MEMORIAL
GREETS TOURISTS
Granite Boulder With Bronze
Tablet Placed Along Santa
Fe Trail in Kansas

HUTCHINSON, Kas., August IL.
A memorial OF granite with a
bronze tablet, set in a little sur
rounded park by a three-foot stone
wall marks the spot 0 ma farm near
here where the late President Hard
ing shocked grain under a broilng
sun in June, 1923, when on the
trans-continental trip that was
brought to an end by his death. The
memorial was dedicated August 2,
the anniversary of his death.
1t was on the Chester O'Neil
wheat farm, eight miles west of
Hutchinson, that the late President
shocked grain in the "Ohio way"
as he expressed it to Senator Arthur
Capper and Gov. Jonathan NJ. Davis
of Kansas, who previously had show
ed the Kansas way of doing it.
Then Mr.. Harding drove harvest
ing machine several time sabout the
field, so the newspaper boys could
have story" as Mrs. Harding said.
The President and party had been
farm by a lite group Of country
folks, among them several children.
With them the President and Mrs.
Harding chatter freely, the Presi-
dennt taking some Of the children in
his arms. These children and 9th.
ers of Reno county, by contribu-
tions of nickels and dimes, raised
the fund to erect the memorial.
A bit of ground at the entrance
10 the field was donated by MIR.
O'Neal and a pretty little park was
hid out, with shubbery, blue grass
and a surrounding stone wall. Here
on the top of Rayl Hill, where
thousands of tourists pass on the
paved highway that is part of the
New Santa Fe trail, the memorial
will stand. Atop a flag staff the
American flag will fly daily, for
the children of the Rayl school have
obligated themselves to be custo-
dams of the colors, to see that the
flag is raised and lowered each
day.

SULPHUR IS BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-S Sulphur,
says noted skin specialist. Because
Of its germ destroying properties, moth
ing has ever been found to take the
place of this sulphur preparation that
instantly brings ease from the itching,
burning and irritation.
Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right
up, leaving the skin clear and smooth.

tanned at any drug store. It is used
like cold cream.

ementary course as here the founda-
ton is laid for successful high
school course. His address was
stamped with the earnestness that
has always marked Judge Taylors s
educational work, but the closing
thought was we'll worth while: that
our present school system is founded
on our belief in supplying the condi-
tions that our boys and girls may
secure the best possible education.
Do not measure the work Of the
schools by the negative effect-the
weakness or short coming or failure
or whatever nature of the few-but
by the positive effects the cultural
value, the refining influence the high
ideals that are carried out into the
world from the large number who
have been strong and attained un-
der the many good things of the sys-
tenn. He would plead therefore for
loyalty fidelity and devotion to our
SchOolS.t
Supt. F. A. Davis in very short
address emphasized some of the
thoughts brought out by Mr.. Taylor
and then spoke particularly of
the patriotic side of this sub
ject of education. Education
makes intelligent citizens and there
fore citizens better able to perform
real and greater service in the
world. He then awarded the di-
plomas and the exercises closed with
singing the class song and the bene-
diction The class is one Of great
promise. Watch them through the
coming four years.
