PARSONS THEATER

Among the innumerable bits of delightful stage business with which Jeanne Eagels has invested her role of the tcmperamental heroine of Her Cardboard Lover," In which the famous young actress appears tonight, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee at Parsons. none is more thoroughly amusing than the manner in which she stirs the cup of black coffee brought to her while she is still In bed at the beginning of the last act of the play.
 One might be excused for assum- ing that q cup of coffee should be stirred in the conventional manner. That is the way it is generally stir red in Park avenue boudoirs, in the dining rooms of our best hotels, and in those scenes on the stage where the people will act as though they were to the manner born.
 But the conventional thing has no place in Jeanne Eagel's fertile imag- nation, nor in her ever-original viewpoint, on or off the stage. She is different-that is why she is Jeanne Eagels and that is perhaps the reason why she will be remem- bered and talked about when her contemporary sisters of the foot
 lights are long forgotten.

 This will be the first time in the history Of the motor car industry" said Mr. Willys, that there has been direct competition in the lowest price range. His company is prepar- cd to make even greater reductions if compctitiou demands such a move. His faith, however, in the type of car built on European ideas of con- struction and his belief in the future of such car. he said, are the esscn- tial factors in the policy he has out lined for the coming year.
 Although he denied any war 10 the knife policy, he said 10000 of tn" new Whippets would be on the market in January, with a rise 10 10000 in March. Immediate de- iiVcrics wil be made of this model.

CAR PRICE WAR
 SEEN FOR 1928
New Dodge Victory Six Enters
 Ford Field

New York. Dec. 29.-iP,-An au- tom mobile price war in the domain which Henry Ford considers par ticularly his own-the field of low priced cars-loomed yesterday IS a distinct possibility.
 Speaking at luncheon given him by the Willys- Overland Company at the Hotel Bilmore John N. Willys, it's president announced that an improved Whippet would be offered January 6 at radical reduction in price. He forecast a peaceful war" but added:
 '1f Ford makes another cut dur ing the year, we shall be able to lower our prices even beyond the re- ductiOn of January G."
 Better Chevrolet Forecast From a dinner of the General Motors organization last night came no word except that an announce ment would be made Sunday It is understood, however. that this an- nouncement will proclaim q price, re- ! duCtion on the Chevrolet. and that while this car will not be brought down 10 the Ford price level. various improvements will be added 10 tempt a public appetite already whetted by the new Ford trimmings.
 At the same time, writer iii Bar ron's Financial Weekly predicted the new Dodge Victory Six, priced q little above the present tour-cylin- der line, would be an important competitor in the price grade just above the Ford. He prophesicd sensational reign for the new Dodge.
 Durant Policy Awaited
 These statements and hints, com ing on the eve of the Automobile Show, indicated probable price war in the light-car field, They also raised questions as to plans of the Durant Motor company to bring its heavy four and it's light six into line.
 'It is not the intention of WiIIys- Overland, Inc, 10 enter into any di- rect price war with any one or any group Of manufacturers in the light car field" said Mr. Willys. But he continued: "The prices which Nn will announce and the improvements which We have made in the Whip pet will, however, make it directly competitive with every car ill the present iight-car class.
 we have every intention Of strengthening our position in th" light-car field and of taking full ad- vantage of the situation. which present conditions have created"
 Design to be Retained
 The new prices will he "materiql- ly loWer' than present ones. Mr Willys asserted. He said the basic principles of Whippet design would be maintained.
 Pursuing the policy inauguratod nineteen months ago, when the Whippet was first put on 1hr market, he declared, WillyS-Oycr- land would stake its claim 10 2. place In the lght-Car field on the small European car,
 This is q decided divergence from the news trends. recently expressed by other small builders who are in creasing the size of their product. While his company Is not so large as hlS two main competitors, Mr. Willys said, it is in a position to give both of them competition.
 The Whippet car, he said, Is de signed for the> future. He stressed engineering features which would have to be added to his competitors products before they would have reached the stage in small car evolu-

 The arrest came after a search which had lasted all evening. The first report of the actions of the trio came to police headquarters about 6 o'clock.
 Several attempts to force a pair Of girls into their car was said to have been made by the men in the vicinity of Washington avenue and Dewitt street. Finally third call was received by police describing the attack on the nurses.

which has driven him to do the most
ridiculous extremes. Due to his econ.
omy obsession the Governor recently
vetoed large number of appropria.
tions which were passed by the legis.
lature to aid the states educational
institutions. He has by his vetoes
crippled the schools of the state and
particularly the state university. So
conservative a man as President Ia.
tus d. Coffman of the state univer-
sity has seen fit to rebuke the Gov
ernor publicly for his attitude toward
the state university.
Embezzler HOnOred
Another thing that stands to iuiure
the Governor politically in the state
is the evidence that has been forth
coming as to corruption in several
departments. The state treasurers
office is charged with inefficiency
amounting to corruption. Two years
ago the chief deputy and another en-
plOye in the treasurer's office were
convicted of embezzlement and sent
to the penitentiary. Their conviction
brought about an investigation as to
how much money had been embezzled,
with the result that the state treasur-
er's office was revealed as one not
having a system of bookkeeping SUI
ficiently up to date to enable the in
vestigators to determine how much
money had actually been stolen.
Notwithstanding this fact the Gov
ernOr elevated the state treasurer I'M
der whose regime these ebezzlements
had taken place, to the office Of
Comptroller of Finance, a position
created at the Governors command to
the legislature in 1925. The Comp
troller of Finance occupies the posi-
ton of financial expert for the state.
Disguised With ReDublicanism
Another state department, too, is
now being Investigated; the sO-called
"Blue Sky Commission" The head Of
this department during the first
term of the Governor is charged with
having corruptly handled his office.
Some facts have been revealed in
the press which would indicate that
the charges are we'll founded.
AS stated above the conditions re-
Quisite for Farmer-Labor victory IN
Minnesota in 1928 are present. The

lican party both in state and nation
The thing that devolves upon the

Republicanism into Farmer-LabOr

A double tragedy occurred last
week, when a mother was drowned
with her nine-year-old boy whom she
was trying to save from the West
Fork river near ScObey.
Mrs. Moore with her seven children
started out early Sunday morning to
bring clothes to her husband who was
working near Opheim and on the
way had to cross the West Fork river
which was swollen from the recent
rains. She miscalculated the depth
and drove the buggy too deep into
the water. She then unhitched the
horse and thought the horse could
swim across. Her nine year old boy
went out in the swift current which
got beyond him. Mrs. Moore tried
to save the child and drowned
with him.
Of the six children who were left
in the buggy, the oldest was seven
years old and the youngest six or
seven months. When they were found
and asked how long they had been
there, the oldest replied, "we have
seen two dark times come and two
