Heavy Death Toll in the Nom Union
Coal Mines

Charleston, w. Va.-Deaths in anti
union mines of this state continue.
The department of mines reports so
deaths in November, but the actual
number of killed and injured is un-

Mcdowell county leads the fatality
toll, as it does in the war on trade
unionism. Raleigh and Fayette coun-
ties, also anti-union, maintained their
record.
There is no attempt in these mines
to enforce mining laws. AS workers
are unorganized, and timberirg costs
money, the operators increase profits
while drawing on the non-union "lab-

fifth.
The show already has run on Broadway--or In

Just lone of those things that defy explanation and
reflection, say the drama scriveners on American

But Anne Nichols, its author, should worry. Aside
from the shows uninterrupted run in New York is
the fact that scores Of road and stock companies

"A prohibition plebescite was taken In Sweden
in 1922. The vote was 922,122 against prohibition
and SS6232 for. Our women, particularly in the
cities. voted pretty heavily against it.

Many new items in sports wear
and several added comforts in mems
appeal were put on display by local
merchants today. New novelties
were received and several variations
Of accepted styles were shown.
Foremost among the newer
novelties were the vari-colored linen
golf Knockers. In the past all linen
Knockers have been tan, but now
they come in purple. tan and green.
The outstanding figure is the
jacquard diamond in green with an
over.plaid of purple on a tan base.
Diamond shaped designs In golf
hose continued to be the most
popular and sales Of socks earring
these designs exceeded all others,
merchants said.
A tan leather sport belt with an
inlay Of colored silk is proving
popular now that men have dis.

Hat bands of a solid color are
proving popular just as the ties OF
the same style took the town by

and trembling.
-Four days later q woman slipped
and fell while going down the steps
on the Brooklyn side. Her screams
caused q couple Of hysterical ones to
start a stampede. Along the bridge
the word spread that d collapse was

the panic that followed and the cas-

Today an average Of 100000 per-

vehicles go back and forth. 1t has
been estimated that at least $4,000

One Of the most interesting fea-
lures Of the bridge are the four huge
cables, the wires of which have a
total length Of 14,300 miles.

Under the Swedish system, arrests for drunk

Royal Pekin Troupe Catches the Fancy
of Our Reviewer of New Palace Show

A spectacular stunt act in every
way is the. Royal Pekin Troupe at
the Palace today and tomorrow.
The act starts with some very
clever magic tricks by one Of the
men in which several large bowls
Of water are made to appear from
places unknown. Then follows
sword dance by the only dancer of
the company, a man, that is per-
feet example of rhthym and grace
full quickness of action. The next
highly interesting thing is a back
bend done on a small bench which
has. been placed upon the top Of a
table. The feature, done by the
youngest member. consists of bend
ing backwe I'd and picking up in the
teeth of a glass which is sitting
under the bench and drinking the
contents while in this position.
The All Girl Revue is group Of
six girls who have decided that men
are not needed in the makeup Of a
successful revue type Of act. From
the entertaining way in which they
do their several numbers it must
be that they are right. Thes out
standing features were the harmony
singing of two sisters, q high kick
ing and Splitting dance. blue song
and Charleston, and dance which
was rather eccentric.
Taflanoff and Company consists OF
two men and a woman and features
dancing by one of the men and the
woman and melodies on the piano
and violin by the other male men,

Age

Age
You really can't blame any one
for sorta fearing age. OF course,
there isn't any fun, when people
reach that stage. But, after all, it's
up to you, how soon you lose your
hold on youth. There's much that
you can do to keep from getting old.
To settle down and give right in
to years that roll on by; to dream
of things that might have been; to
fret and fuss and sigh. is just the
thing you shouldn't do. 1t brings
the age-hnes deep. TITS better, far,
to laugh on through. and proper
spirit keep.
Just look upon the little folk.
They gladly show the way to make
the age ching seem a joke that dis
appears through play Swing back
into the laughter that you had in
youth, and then you'll find that ever
after, YOU are feeling young again.
Wnen a fellow is turned 0oNn Dy
a. girl because he isn't well off. he
really is.
Doing school work at home is
what makes a kid get punished the
next day for his fathers ignorance.
AfterN all. 1t isn't strange for a
young fellow to have q future ahead
Of him. What I'd like to see, is one
who has It behind him.
He jumped right in his bathing suit.
Twas much too large. And then
He took one dive into the air
And jumped right out again.
