FREDERICK WITH LA PLANTE
 STAR IN NEW PICTURE

"The bigger they are the harder they fall' is an aphorism of the prize ring r The older they are the harder they fall' is the conversation of the aphor- ism that might be used to aphorize "Smouldering Fires" Universal Jewel Clarence Brown production to be shown in the Liberty Theatre tonight.
 Pauline Frederick and Laura La Plante are costarred in the picture. and the reference to aphorisms will be understood when it is learned that Miss Frederick takes the part of mid dle aged woman who after years de- voted solely to business affairs falls in love with youth half her age and to return to the vernacular, falls hard.

 nently cast are Fully Marshall, Wanda Hawley, Helen Lynch and Geo. Coop CT.

NEWS LETTER
 FROM LONDON

LONDON Dec 19 P)-Marlborough House, which for many years has been the London home of the late Queen Mother Alexandra, is expected to be taken over shortly by the Prince of Wales. The mansion is a famous link with London of 200 years ago and contains one of the most wonder ful apartments in the world. This is called the treasure room in which are kept many gifts of great value, gold and silver plate and jewels, in- cluding the treasures which came to England with King Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales, when he return ed from his Indian tour of 1875. It has been estimated that the value of the gold and silver alone in these gifts not considering the craftsman ship or the historical associations, is more than $7,500,OOO.
 The first building on the site of Marlborough house was a home built for Henrietta Maria, the Queen of King Charles I. Marlborough House itself was built in 1709 by John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, the victor of Blenzheim.
 Get thin" lunches have become the fad here. The idea was introduced through writings of Mrs. Charlotte Cameron, traveller and authoress, who told of their introduction in Califor- mia where she has been the guest of the Adolph Spreckles family in San Francisco and other friends at Los Angeles and Hollywood. She is one of England's travelled women, having visited most countries of the world.
 Mrs. Cameron was entertained so lavishly at so many dinners that she felt she would not be able to undergo the strain of giving series of long drawn out course meals to get even, and this led to inauguration of the scheme of lighter refreshments for her guests.
 Menus for Mrs. Cameron's lunch cons were made out by a Los Ange- les doctor who specializes in reduc- ing. Her parties became immensely popular and thinning lunches" are now all the rage in Mayfair There are indications the idea will extend to dinners.
 More noise has been introduced into the street chatter of London by motion picture theatre proprietors, who have loud speakers at their door ence on the inside. Whenever partic- to transmit the laughter of the audi ularly amusing films are on crowds soon form in front of the laugh broad caster until the police shoo them away The city authorities agree that the scheme is an excellent one from the viewpoint of the motion picture

owners but say it threatens to be- come a serious impediment to traffic and steps may be taken to bar any further installation of the laugh spreaders.
 Letter writers to London papers are heaving all sorts of abuse at the new footwear. It is hinted by some that the new Russian boots are worn to conceal thick and ungainly angles. Others object to having women GOV CT their dainty ankles with such un- gainly loose leather tops. But most writers are agreed on the face that the gap between the high boot top and the bottom of the short skirts with which they are usually worn has to be remedied This gap widens as boots become old and wrinkled down and it his been suggested that women must keep their boots up by straps around the knees similar to those worn by officers.
 South Americans are the best ball. room dancers in London in the opinion of an impartial jury made up of Ital- ian, French, Spanish and English dancing masters. The South Ameri- cans are seen in the west end ball rooms nearly every night and are eag- erly sought in society for private af- fairs when hostesses vie with one another to have plenty of good dan cerS on their lists

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3d.
The price which householders through
out the country pay for food has been
advancing since early in 1925. How
ever, in September the trend changed
and food costs turned downward. The
drop, while slight, seems to signalize
the end Of the advance for the time
being.

Despite the decline Of September

Soviet Trawlers Land
 Russian Fish in England

GRIMSBY, Eng, Apr 15.-Bolshe- vik Russia, which last year began organization of fishing fleet in northern waters, has begun to extend it's business to foreign shores. The first Soviet steam trawIer to be seen in a British port arrived in Grimsby recently and attracted much attention, not only among seafaring men, but the public generally.
 The trawler brought a load of fish caught off the Murmansk coast. The captain said other Russian trawlers would arrive regularly in British ports in the near future as the So- viet fishing fleet was again getting on it's feet and, due to recent addi- tions of fishing smacks, was we'll fit ted to supply the Russian demand for sea food, thus eliminating the necessity of buying fish abroad.

Drastic Statutes Are
 Framed by Indiana Drys

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 15.- The purchaser of intoxicating liquors is equally as guilty of having vio- lated the prohibition laws in Indiana as the bootlegger, under provisions of the Wright bill recently passed by the state legislature, which becomes effective ill June.
 Under the new law, considered the most drastic, possession of liquor is also a crime. A defect in the previous state law caused several courts to rule that possession in itself was not crime.
 The definition of liquor also has been simplified and included in the list are Jamaica ginger, lemon extract and all liquors which have enough alcohol to be used as beverage. Wine for sacramental purposes is exempt
 Provision also was made for more severe penalties for first, second and subsequent violations of the law. It denies the court power to suspend sentence and violations of both sec- tions of the law are made felony.
 The penalty for public intoxication has been increased making it a fine of from $1O to S1O0, to which may be added six months imprisonment.
 Second conviction of driving an au- tomobile while intoxicated is a fel- ony, and the law provides that the court shall prohibit the person from driving the vehicle for one year

Massachusetts has an old law prohibiting women from wearing long protruding hatpins, which the house voted to repeal recently, on the ground that they were not worn with bobbed hair, anyway. The senate stood pat, declaring former styles might come back. Thus the people of Massachusetts are safe from the deadly hatpin, if not from the sprightly automatic.

 Chairman P. c. McMullen repre- senting the committee on the mat ter of the removal of the Jesse Lee Home reported more offerings by individuals of sites for the home. Mr. McMullen said that George Laughlin had offered 32 acres at Woodrow, and that Bob Johnson had offered eight acres, and another offer had been made by Mr. Laughlin of 40 acres north of the roadhouse. MT. H. V. Hoben had also offered 50 acres at the head of the Bay, as we'll as an offer by MT. Hoffman of his home stead. The committee is determin- ed to secure the removal of the Home to Seward and are sparing no effort in the matter
 Mayor l.. V. Ray was called upon to give his views of the Home being located at Seward and gave a very interesting talk on why Seward should by all means land the propo- sition, citing the fact that at least $90,000 would be expended for build ings this year and an additional S50,- 900 next summer, to say nothing of the revenues to be derived by the citizens and business men in this community MT. Ray declared that cities along the coast had made tempting offers for the home and would be glad to get it. He also said in his opinion he doubted if there were over two or three full blood natives in the whole school and that at least 95 per cent of the children were white and of Russian and Scandinavian descent. MT. Ray kept his subject we'll in hand and kept his hearers in rapt attention.
 This is the first time that a com prehensive idea has been given the members regarding the Jesse Lee Home proposition, and the matter with no personal motives other than the advancement of Seward.
 The Chamber requested that it be furnished with 400 of the new fold CTS being printed for the railway by The Gateway, to be used in connec- tion with our own booklet.
 The Chamber sent a wire to Rep resentative Ben Grier endorsing his efforts to secure elks for this dis trict.
 The membership committee asked all those persons who have been is- sued cards as yet unpaid for, to send the Secretary their check.
 The luncheon was most enjoy able affair, and if our citizens knew the benefits arising from this one hour a week spent in social ameni- ties they would stampede to join the chamber.

Fish Liars Realized
Thew Were OufcIdssed

The story, Trout by the Handful"
that appeared in a recent number of
the Companion reminds subscriber
Of the following tall" one that she
often heard her grandfather tell:
At one time when my grandfather
was on his way to Porto Rico he met
on the boat number of sportsmen,
among whom was doctor. They all
gathered in the captains cabin one
night to swap yarns With serious
face each told the biggest one he
knew, and there were some pretty big
ones. They had all finished and were
about to vote to see who had told the
biggest when the doctor, who had
hitherto been silent announced that
he would tell yarn himself. SO they
all settled back again to listen.
"Well,' he began, "once when 1 was
up in Canada where the big salmon
fisheries and canneries are l hap
pened on little stream about a foot
wide up which the salmon were going
to spawn. The stream was so narrow
and the fish so large that they could
not pass one another, so they were go
ing up the stream in single file with
only few inches between them.
ut looked like good opportunity
to get big fish, so, straddling the
stream, reached down suddenly and
caught fish in my hands. l held 1t
under the water second to get good
hold before l jerked it out, and in
stantly the fish behind it bit It's tail to
make 1t hurry. / pulled my fish out
Of the water, and the other fish came
too as well as the one behind 1t and
the next one and so on Each fish,
you see, had hold of the tail of the
one in front of it.
II started pulling in hand over hand,
and for three hours l stood there and
pulled in the fish. When | finished l
had an unbroken string of salmon
three miles long,
AS he concluded the faces of his lis
teners were perfectly blank. They sat
looking at one another in silence for a
few minutes then one of them rose
and, going to the table, wrote some
thing on an envelope. He passed the
envelope round, and every one read
and signed it. Then he ceremonious-
ly presented it to the doctor, who,
after reading it aloud pocketed it and
bowed gravely.
This Is what he read:
"This is to certify that we, the un-
dersigned, hereby proclaim Doctor
Y to be the champion liar of this
boat. We poor fellows thought we
could tell 'em, but we resign in favor
of the doctor."-Youth's Companion.
