CLASSMATES
AT YRIANON
Richard Barthelmess To
Come Here In His
New Play

"Classmates," Richard Barthelmess'
new First National production, which
is the attraction at the Trianon this
week, is probably the most varied story
this young star has ever been seen in
on the screen, according to critics.
CLASSMATES has the appeal of
'Tol'able David" the force of Fury"
and the fine histrionic strength of "The
Enchanted Cottage" other Barthehmess
pictures, along with distinctly differ
ent interest.
Briefly, CLASSMATES" is the story of
a poor boy of the North Carolina noun
tains who wins an appointment to West
Point, loses his commission in a quar-
rel with another chap and finally re-
deems himself in an expedition into the
South American jungle.

POACHING is ON ANE
Decrease In Pheasants In England
Makes 1t Improbable

The war changed many things, and
poaching, as a more or less recognized
occupation, was one of them. Pheasants
are still reared by hand on many es-
-tates, but rarely in such numbers as in
pre-war days. Hence it is that poach'
ing on the grand scale is now game
hardly worth the candle when the risks
are taken into consideration.
Time is everything to the poacher. 1t
must be possible to make good haul
quickly and get away. If the plumber
takes much collecting the game is too
risky and difficult altogether. The
moonlight raids that were so common
years ago are now seldom INDUCED in
None the less, a good deal of petty
poaching still COS on. Here and there
one of the old-time professionals per-
sists in the business because it is second
nature with him, but for the most part
it is the ne'er-do-well from the town or
the out-of-work laborer who does the
poaching of today. Such men have de-
cided that poaching is often better fun
than honest work.
The rabbit, undoubtedly, is the most
popular quarry of the present-day
poacher Guns are seldom used; fer
rets and nets provide more quiet and
even surer method of making bag.
The long net, used at night and set
up along the edge of the covert when
the rabbits are outside the wood feed
ing, is also extensively employed where
the game is plentiful enough to warrant
it. A dog is usually sent out to scour
the fields and drive the rabbits home,
while the poachers themselves lie in
wait near the net to catch land kill the
rabbits as they tumble into it. Hares
are caught much in the same way, nets
being set in gaps in hedges and IN gate
ways. A trained lurcher is employed to
drive in the quarry.
Often as one passes through the coun-
try one may see certain obstacles dotted
about stubble field and meadow. These
are the thorny branches cut from the
hedgerows which the keeper uses to
bush" the ground.
The poachers who use the dragnet-
made usually of silk, and drawn over
the ground between two men-shun
such fields as these, for once the net
gets entangled in such obstacles in the
darkness the game is up. Similarity the
keeper pegs down bushes and scatters

activities of the long-net rabbit poacher.
To deceive the nocturnal pheasant
poacher, dummy pheasants, which,
though made of wood, look very life
like in the uncertain moonlight, used
to be extensively employed. The poach-
err who was once fooled by shooting at
such tempting targets rarely came
again.-Continental Edition of the Lon

Fairy Tale
THE GROWING CITY
WwlARY GRAHAM BONNER

"Tm tired" said the city, "and dis
couraged"
whats the trouble?" asked the
Queen Of the Fairies as she perched
upon one of the high buildings.
ooh, it is hard" said the city, ito
be city. You never seem to please
anyone.
''They build you up and tear you
down and change you about until you
are worn out"
"Oh, but they do like you, City. l
know they do" the Queen of the
Fairies said
"Well, sometimes they don't show
me that they do" the city answered.
"They will never let me add any
charm or any manners-you know
city can't get it's best manners in a
short time. It takes long, long time
for city to really be gracious and
lovely.
"Now it is different with the. coun-
try. The country can be far simpler
in it's ways.
1.-THE country is naturally so beau
tiful. The country doesn't have to de-
pend on handsome buildings and
quaint places.
1.-THE country has sunsets and sun
rises and trees and fields and wild
flowers and lots of color
"Of course the sun rises over in the
East and sets over in the West here,
but it's not the same as in the coun-
try--the buildings almost crowd it out
of the way.
"And the sun feels that you know.
1.-THE sun doesn't show himself near

reason.

aside from the preference of the ma
jority of the voters for the present adj
ministration may be ascribed to the
dissatisfaction of the labor element
and the discomfort Of the farmers.
1t is obvious that the voters of the
country did not follow either Davis or
LaFollette in their attempt to score
the alleged corrupt acts of members
of the last Republican administration
against Coolidge personally.
Worried About "Silent" Vote.
There appeared throughout the
campaign to be an apathetic condition
worried about. Yet record vote was
worried about. Yet a recerod vote was
cast. President Harding's plurality of
100000 in 1920 over James M. Cox
was thought to be almost an impos-
sible figure, yet. Harding had no third
party opposition, with the exception
of Eugene v. Debss 100000 total
vote. LaFollette polled four times the
Socialist vote of that year.
Pennsylvania appears to be the BAN
ner state for Coolidge with a plurality
of about 100000, and the President
carried New York state by 100000;
Illinois by 100000; California, regard
ed as likely to go to LaFollette, by
100000; Indiana, claimed by the
Democrats, by 100000, and by like
figure he triumphed in Iowa.
President Is Congratulated.
John w. Davis, the defeated presi-
Dental candidate on the Democratic
ticket, telegraphed President Coolidge
as follows:
Permit me to congratulate you on
your sweeping victory and to express
the hope that your administration may
by its success inure to the welfare of
the country"
President Coolidge sent this reply:
please accept my thanks for your
message and my appreciation of the
patriotic sentiments you express"
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, in his
first public statement, commenting
upon the election, said:
'"rhe loss of this one battle in the
age-long struggle is but an incident.
So far as I am personally concerned
1 am enlisted for life in the struggle.
"The progressives will not be dis
mayed by this result. We have just
begun to fight There can be no COM
promise on the fundamental issues for
which we stand"
TWO Women Governors.
For the first time in the history Of
the country, at this election two wom-
en- were elected as governors-Mrs
Nellie Z. Ross, on the Democratic
ticket, as governor of Wyoming. She
is the widow of the late Governor
Ross. Under the laws she will assume
office as soon as she qualities.
Mrs. Miriam Ferguson also on the
Democratic ticket, was elected gov
ernor of Texas. Her husband was
formerly governor of the state.
There will be one woman in con-
gress. Mrs. Mary T. Norton, a Demo
crat, from the Twelfth New Jersey
district.

lures and other state offices, display

What She Said

Little Dolly was having a great
treat. It was Saturday morning and
her mother had taken her out into the
town to help her with the shopping.
Among the shops they went to was the
grocer's, which was kept by man
who was very fond of children. With
smile he gave the little girl big red
apple.
The child took it, but not one word
of thanks passed her lips. Dollys
mother, embarrassed by her little girls
lack of manners, said:
.'Dear, what are you going to say
Dolly held out the apple to her
benefactor as she said briefly: Peel
it,"

MAKING GOOD IN
A SMALL TOWN
Real Stories About Real Girls
By MRS. HARLAED H. ALLEN

THE CANDY KITCHEN

| a MERICA'S notorious sweet tooth
must be satisfied.
And for the girl who knows what
candies are Americas "best sellers"
and how to make those candies, there
IS money in helping to satisfy it.
That's the declaration of financial in
dependence made by small town girl
who has proved her statement.
But ordinary candies, like fudge
and taffy, that everybody makes" she
asserted, don't pay WELL And with
practically the same materials, you
can make the expensive chocolates
and bon-bons.'
r. This girl has found the "best sell
lers' to be fancy chocolates and
Judges, cream caramels, nut brittle
and butterscotch She maintains that
1t is better to specialize in only one
kind of candy or, at most, only few
choice varieties, rather than 10 at
tempt too many kinds and have them
imperfect.
The girl who proposes to run a
candy kitchen" III her home needs to
consider three factors: instruction,
equipment and supplies, and market
ing. If she doesn't know how to
make the kind of candy she wants
to sell, she must, obviously, get some
preliminary instruction, and she
should procure a book that gives ex-
plicit directions for the making of the
most intricate candies.
Her equipment will be: range,
preferably gas), thermometer,
scales, measuring cup, quart meas
ure, spatula, case knife, long sharp
knife, wooden spoons, tablespoons,
teaspoons, caramel pans, saucepans or
candy kettles, double boiler, mint
dropper, bonbon dipper, marble slab
or table, or porcelain table, or large
white tray. She may simplify or
elaborate upon this equipment accord
ing to the extent Of her business.
AS for her market, the novice had
best begin on small scale, selling
to personal friends and acquaintance.
She will probably have plenty of or
ders for the holiday times, and she
may avoid the anti-hOliday slump and
stimulate all-the-ysar-round trade, by
advertising the Saturday Special"
the box to take home for the Sunday
treat. She may advertise her .strict-
ly homemade wares in the local pa
pers and she may further announce
them by card, accompanied by an
attractive-looking plate of candy, in
her window.
The candy-maker should box her
wares neatly and attractively, and
should adopt trade name for use on
the boxes and In advertising. She
should never include broken bits Of
candy, crumbly Judges or trimmed
off edges in the boxes, but should save
them in "stock kettle" for later use.
If she wastes nothing material, pa
per, sizing, boxes or time-sfe is sure
to attain financial success through her

BAGGING BUTTERFLIES
IN BOTTLES

THAT dream OF picking dollars
= out of the air. may come true
yet-for the girl who becomes but
terfiy collector.
Moreover, romance, as well as f.
nance may be her consideration. "The
thrill of the artist at the discovery
of a rare and beautiful thing'-that's
how a California girl, an initiate to
the advantages of butterfly collecting,
sums up the wonders of her work.
And the more rare and beautiful''
the butterflies she captures, the great
er her material returns, she might
have added.
The butterfly chase takes place at
night. But the butterfly collector
must make daylight preparations; she
must have smeared the bark of the
trees on the butterfly farm with a
sweet and sticky substance, such as
sugar water or diluted honey; and
she must equip herself for the noe
turnal chase with wide-mouthed
bottle containing cyanide, and bulls
eye lamp. After the captured fly"
as the technical trade dubs the beauti-
full creature, is dazzled by the lamp,
it is dropped into the bottle to be
asphyXiated.
After the nights catch, damaged
male butterflies are again turned
loose, while all perfect specimens are
pinned in cork-lined boxes and shipped
to the purchaser. Larvae and eggs
may be kept in cold storage until
spring, when their particular food
plant will be available, or fed on for
age crops which are grown indoors.
The eggs of some butterflies will hatch
within a few days, while others will
not come out until spring. The col
lector should keep the eggs in ordi-
nary glass test tubes, where she can
examine them every day to see wheth-
er they have Matched. When they do
hatch, the work brood should be trans
ferred to a jelly-glass tightly covered,
and left until they attain quarter of
an inch in length. Later, they should
be. placed in larger fruit jars, or, II
there are very many. into barrels.
Several inches of dirt and leaf mould
should be placed in the bottom of each
receptacle; and fresh plant food
should be put in every day and the
old leaves taken out.
Butterfly markets ere many. Col
leges and schools, big museums, taxi
dermists, jewelry manufacturers, So
ciety people, hotels, department stores,
and private collectors buy them either
for scientific or display purposes.
