ganization at Cornell university for As
years. About 20 years ago the Banjo
and Mandolin clubs were merged with
it and the combined organization soon
attained pre-eminence among American

Petting parties, which are reported
to have become a popular British in

and pa are on the warpath. The royal

battle sounded and the army of chaper-

JUVENILE STAR
TOPLAY BIJOU
Baby Peggy To Be Seen
In Captain jan
uary'

Body Peggy, who is the Juvenile star
of Captain January the Christmas
week screen feature at Loews Bijou
all Of this week, beginning Monday aft
ernoon, has quickly become one of the
best popular motion picture actresses
in the United States, according to lead
ing authorities.
This was also demonstrated recently
when she won high honor in the great
test voice of the Theater Ownerss'
Chamber of Commerce for the selection
of king and queen of the movies.
In this big contest for the most popu-
lar male and female picture players in
the country, Baby Peggy had most
commendable record. For long stretch
she was in second place and then for a
time went into the lead. Owing to the
fact that it was found impossible to
bring Baby Peggy from California to
New York, in the advent that she won
the contest and the right to wear the
crown as queen of the movies at the big
ball given by the Theater Owners
Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel
Astor, the child star was withdrawn
when it seemed that she was in favor
able position to win the highest h0nors.
The decision to withdraw her was de-
cided on by Sol Lesser, president of
Principal Picture corporation, owing to
the fact that Baby Peggy had not yet
completed work on Captain January"
The new picture is said to be one of the
most powerful and appealing ever made.
In support of the young star is what is
hailed as the most brilliant cast ever
assembled, including such prominent
players as Hobert Bosworth, Lincoln
Stedman, Harry T. Morey, Irene Rich,
Barbara Tenant, John Merkyl and EN-

that Tell Me Why" is the answer to
many queries of sex problems that
hithertofore have remained unanswered
to many young people who have not
had the opportunity to obtain real facts.
This picture is presented in n delicate
but forcible way that leaves an after
thought.
Tell Me Why" is very interest

question of sex which has been an sub

has been as forceful lesson to the
public as this highly instructive pic
ture. The question is hadled in delicate
manner that cannot be misconstrued as
anything but the real purpose of the
producers: the great moral lesson that
every man and woman should know.

Uphold $4,000 Claim
Against Defunct Bank

MadiSOn-The supreme court Tues
day upheld the ruling of the lower
court that Barbara Stevens should be
allowed her claims of more than $40,-
900 against the Montfort State bank.
AS a result of the settlement of the
affairs of the Montfort bank, closed
by Banking Commissioner Marshall
Cousins in June, 1922, Mrs. Stevens
brought suit against the defunct bank,
and the present commissioner, Dwight
Parker, to obtain money she says she
had on deposit but which was not al
lowed her in the settlement. On her
showing the Grant county circuit
court allowed her a judgment of
$44 ,048.20.
The banking commissioner allowed
her only $9,01288, and disallowed the
sum of $35, 1858. When her suit was
successful the banking commissioner
appealed to the supreme court from
the decision of Judge Smalley.
At the original trial the banking
commissioner endeavored to show that
Mrs Stevens employed Clyde K.
Stephens as her direct agent and was
not transacting business with the
bank. Judge Smalley held that Mrs.
Stevens was dealing with the bank
and that entries made in her pass
book by Stephens were properly
chargeable to the bank although the
bank records failed to show such de-
posits. The winning of the suit means
about $4,000 in the pocket of the aged
depositor instead of around 5000 as
allowed by the commissioner. The
bank will pay about 10c on the dollar.
