--- "T HE 7TH BANDIT"
 AT COLISEUM SATURDAY

You may not know it, but Harry Carey is in business. Although acting Is profession. the popular Western star, who is to be see.l Saturday IsatiEee and evening a. the Coliseum. in the Pathepicturs, The Seventh Bandit" is also, as the English spy, "in trade" for he has, near his big ranch al SaugUs, Cal, a. Trading post, which he manages and which comprises ranch store, a bar. where soft drinks are dispensed. but where somothing of the old time atmosphere is preserved, and a Navajo store operated by the Indians.
 Tt seems So funny for an ae tor to be running a store," tour ists exclaim. But if Carey hap pens to be within earshot, he has an answer ready.
 "On the contrary" he points out. "every actor is salesman. He is selling himself selling per sonaliiy. if any. to the picture goers. If he doesn't. he's a flop. If he does, he has demonstrated his ability. and there is no reason why he should not exercise that ability in other fields"
 In The Seventh Bandit" di rected by Scott Dunlap, Harry Carey has fine supporting cast, including. Harriett Hammond, as leading lady, Trilby Clark. Walter James, James Morrison. John DiI. lion and Charles McHugh. The story is by Arthur Preston Hal kins.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Sent. %. Although Hollywood k oyaferov !. ed, and many 9 beautiful girl goes home or goes hungry because there are se many like her, there usually is room in he movies for those who are willing to star. at the bottom and work up.
 It is true that the central cast ing bureau through which studios hire their extra talent discours ages any further registration of beautiful girl applicants, but that is because they are trying t9 break in at the tep. Infants six months old seldom find the raeis tration book closed against asham
 Competition Is Keen
 The reason is simple. No llisssst.e4. how many .six-months-old babies are registered today. they cannot portray six-months-old baby roles for more than q few months. The supply of infant actors must be constantly renewed or the studios will find themselves desperately short of babies who look realls new. Since authorities frown on the use of infants under six months, it is important to have enough of those on hand to pinch hit for newborn babies and il- fants which should not look mo-a than several weeks old.
 Among the fiye-year-blds the competition is far keener. bui even here the opportunities are numerous compared with those open to young men ard women Children's features change so ra- pidly that casting directors rlast be constantly on the lookout.
 Even juveniles whose namen have acquired box-office value can not hold back the clock. A few years ago Virginia Lee Corbin Loretta Young. Lucille Ricksoa, Buddy Messenger and Madge Evans were featured child play CTS. Today the child faces film fans remember belong to Mary Ann Jackson. PhiIlipe de Lacey. Allan Hoskinr (Farinal.

She preferred to en dure the snarls, the burrs, the dust, the endless washing and dry. ing which grease. paint and pow der make necessary to keep faith with her admirers and make her Performance genuine.

WHAT, WHY AND WHERE

1. What was the cetotheres?
2. What was the long-beaked dol
phin?
8. What was the stegomastodon?
4. What was the zeuglodon?
5. What was the American masto
don?
Answers.
!. A fossil whalebone whale, found
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts OF
the United States. Russia and Pate
gonia. 1t was smaller than the pres
ent members of this family.
2. A dolphin with a beak or
feet long, which was very abundant
in Chesapeake Bay.
3. An extinct, elephantlike animal
of Arizona, very similar to the com
mon mastodon.
4. One of the largest animals that
ever lived. 1t was a sea-living mann
NAL which flourished about 100000
years ago, a very rapid swimmer and
carnivorous. 1t probably was a dis
tant relative of the whale.
8. An elephant-like animal which in
habited the present territory of the
United States in great numbers at the
close Of the last ice age. 1t stood
about 10 feet high.

another type who wish to be in style
must develop or reduce their figures
to suit the prevailing mole. When
the wasp-waist was in vogue, women
bent their efforts toward keeping the
waistlines slender. The fad for boy
ish figures made women starve them
selves and wear tight brassieres.
The short skirt. that seems destined
to remain with us in spite of Paul
Poiret, keeps in the foreground the
problem Of making the lower limbs
slender and graceful The frock with
an abbreviated skirt is becoming to
the average figure. but not to the
stout or very thin types. In order to
look her best in the present style of
clothes, milady must have well
formed calves and ankles that are
neither encumbered with excess fat
nor devoid of curves.
Leg exercises are very helpful in
improving the shape of these mem
bers, and l am describing below a few
simple ones
Exercise /. Stand erect, hands on
hips. Jump sideways to the right on
the right foot. swinging the left leg
out to the left side with the knee
straight. Spring quickly TO the left
foot. swinging the right leg. Repeat
the alternate leg swinging with a hop
on the opposite foot 10 times to each
side.
Exercise ,. Stand erect, with elbows
bent and hands on shoulders. Hop
TO the right and swing the left foot
forward with the pointed toe. Hop
TO left and swing right foot forward
with toe pointed. Repeat 20 times
alternately.

December IA, 1796.-The Maryland
Legislature today agreed to make a
loan of 500 900 to the Federal City, in
United States 6 per cent stock at par
December Ia, 1862.-Great excite
ment prevails throughout the city to-
day as reports filter through from the
Army of the Potomac telling of a
great battle with the Confederate
Army at Fredericksburg. Va, yester-
day and today. Wounded soldiers
reaching the city today reported that
the Southern forces seem to have the
best of the fighting thus far. 1t is
understood that the Union Army was
met by IAN overwhelming force" but
some reports say that the unfortunate
result of the fighting has been due to
the fact that the Confederates are
strongly posted on the heights and it
understood that all efforts to drive
back the Army of the Potomac have
failed.
The fight was close and desperate,
with heavy losses on both sides.
Among the casualties so far reported
are Gen. George d. Bayard of the
Cavalry brigade. killed, and Maj. Gen.
Hancock, Brig. Gen. Gibbons and Brig.
Gen kimball, wounded. 1t is believed
here that if the enemy is not retreat
ing today, "the bloodiest battle of the
century" is being fought. 1t was re-
ported at 1 o'clock that only the Con-
federates are firing artillery, our guns
remaining silent.
Some of the wounded officers who
arrived here this morning declared
that the Confederates occupy a posi-
tion from which they can only be dis
lodged with great loss of life. 1t is
said they can infiict more losses than
they will be forced to sustain them
selves.

HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December Is.
BY FANNY Y. CORY.

Although tomorrow is an uncertain
day in planetary directions, according
to astrology, benefic aspects dominate.
Women now come under a sway
| making for great activity in publi,
affairs and they will render important
service in politics.
The seers warn that in politics
women will be prominent during 1928,
but they will bow to the leadership
of men.
A brilliant campaign for one WON.
an who will aspire to Congress is
forecast, but party organizations will
keep the great army Of newer voters
in the ranks, it is foretold.
Tomorrow is read as fortunate
wedding day, since it presages a har-
monious partnership with enduring
love.
Social ambition is likely to possess
great numbers of men as well as wom-
en-. If the stars are wisely interpreted.
Much extravaganza in entertaining
is indicated for the Winter season,
when there will be distinguished for
eign visitors in America.
Honors for an American financier
are foreshadowed and great legacies
are to be bestowed by men OF wealth,
who will Guido all whose generosity
has preceded theirs, astrologers de-
clare.
Schools and universities continue to
enjoy the most favorable planetary
direction. although they will be crit
icized severely.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of a year of hard work
that will be profitable.
Children born on that day may be
inclined to be self-contained and in
dependent. The subjects Of this sign
usually develop slowly.

Flower Pots of Decorative Type
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

can be made from stencils or copied
from any chosen motif.
The flower pot is one of the dec
| orative sort used to conceal the utili-
tartan one in which plants come. To
make this container, which is not
merely a holiday one. but to be used
| long after that season, cut six or eight
pieces of beaverboard. Cardboard, I'M
| less very substantial, is not satisfac-
tory to use If the resulting flower pot
| is to be of more than the most tempo
rary kind.
Know beforehand the size of the
earthenware flower pot which is to
he incased This is very much better
than making the outer one arbitrarily
and then attempting to find the inner
| flower pot to fit it. Make il slightly
higher than the inner container.
Punch a series of holes along all the
vertical edges of the cardboard, being
sure that they are directly opposite
each other. This is essential. as the
portions are to be laced together.
There are many colorings which can
be given the flower pot; for instance
green or alternate green and soft wood
brown; or there may be a variety of
gay hues to accord with some definite
scheme or artistic fancy of the maker.
Opaque, not transparent colors. are the
best to use. Each section may be
striped near the edges. They may
bear motifs, painted freehand in crude
patterns or stenciled in conven-
tionalized ones in the center Of each
section.
If a shaped flower pot is made
that is, one following the f1aring con-
tour of the inner container-there is
no loss in cutting if each alternate
portion is reversed. The wide top re-
suits from such an arrangement.
Great care should be taken in MAX
ing the holes for the laces, for which
an ordinary punch is employed. Leath'
err cord, shoe laces of leather, strips
of binding or of very narrow braid can
be used in lacing.
A begonia, Jerusalem cherry or other
less pretentious plants look their best
in such a container Since it is the
flower pot as much as what 1t con-
tains that is the gift, It is not neces-
sary to put any great expenditure into
the plant in order to have the gift one
of distinction.

French fashion dictators are COM
planning because American women are
not adopting the longer skirt with
the same alacrity that they displayed
when the abbreviated skirt was in
