out to wreck Hollywood. That is. If
she'd go. But before she left for Chi

million bucks, had to be kidnapped out
of town by his indignant relatives.

several dozen relatives if they inter

But Daisy skipped before the ructions

her departure, the gal ups and marries

Yes, sir. That's what Daisy could
do.
When the news was broadcast
there was considerable gnashing OF
teeth around theatrical headquarters.
But there it was: Daisy gives up
great career for a three-room fiat and
baby. Maybe she misses her switch
board, but she keeps busy cooking for
her family and washing the kids
clothes.
Now, I ask you, what can you
make of that? Here was knockout

Broadway and knocked over every
thing in the way. and didn't. Why,

Skinner relapsed into silence and
Sullivan was about to offer an obser-

fairy-tale lore, when female voice
broke in from behind them.

Both men turned around and dis

backed up against the cigar stand and
that the young woman in charge of it
was leaning over on the counter and
gazing at them with interest radiating
from her mascaroed eyes.
II didn't know we had an audience,
sister," remarked Skinner. looking her
over carefully and noting the pow

ashen-red hair and the thin, blazing

THERE is plenty of evidence to show
that the ancients were not with

mains Of the art of long-gone days
are shown examples of artistic humor,

supposed.

get away with it on her nerve and

Dolly Bowman clicks at once. Yes,
Dolly knows not only her onions but
also how to peel them, so very soon
she's all set with a Park avenue fiat
and a Hispano-Suiza town car. After
they stood her a season at the Garden.
Bruville signs her UP for his London

Dolly got tired of furnishing the
household expenses and keeping the
lord in liquor. So she returns to Lon
don and pays a visit to her father-in-
law. L guess everything was hotsy,
for she never defended the divorce
suit that followed. What she got was
plenty.
1T took her about two years to blow
that bank-roll. Nothing else would do
but her own show. So a bright boy
promoted her for it and she lasted
four weeks. That took lot of dough
away from her and she bsgan to lose
her head. She started slipping. May
be it was the rotten liquor and the all
night parties. Anyway, she began to
go and her money travelled faster.
People knew that no one came around
to Dolly with a hard-luck story and
got away empty-handed. Dolly was
that sort. and oh, boy. how her buddies
knew that.
''It was hardly surprise to hear
that Dolly had gone into bankruptcy.

Improved Hand Magnet.
WITH the magnetic coils, switch and

WITH the magnetic coils, switch and
connections entirely covered by
two aluminium castings, an improved
hand magnet presents a vast inn
provement over the usual device of
this nature. The circuit to the mag
netic coils is closed and opened By
means of large trigger, mounted
under the handle support, which op-
crates strong make-and- break
switch concealed in the aluminium
cover. The trigger is operated by the
index finger; pulling it toward the
handle closes the switch. When
slightly released the switch does not
open, but when fully released the
switch opens with a quick break. The
magnet can be used for a wide va
riety of purposes. such as i'm the re-
covery of nails from shipping room
sweepings. handling hot castings, re-
moving iron and steel filings from
machines and removing filings from
liquids.

Soon after this Mr.. Coolidge was
elected to the Massachusetts House of
Representatives starting him on the
political wave that landed him in the
White House.
During those days when his political
star was rising. Mr.. Coolidge returned
often with his wife to the house in
which they were married. During
Burlington's 150th birthday celebra-
ton Mr.. Coolidge, then Vice President,
spoke, stressing the thought that fu-
ture action should be based on knoWl-
edge of the past. When he left
Burlington, after one of his periodic
visits to 312 Maple street, to go to
his fathers farmhouse at Plymouth.
VT, little did he realize that few
days later he would be summoned
from sleep to assume the Chief Ex-
ecutiveship of the Nation.
Time has had it's reflex in the coZy
homestead where he was married. Mrs.
Coolidge's mother, Mrs. Lamira Good

now living in Northampton, Mass.
The father of the First Lady of the

of the wedding party on that eventful

Winooski River, vending its way to
Lake Champlain.
Capt. Goodhue, a native of New
Hampshire, went to Burlington soon
after his marriage in 1870. He was
in charge of engineering work for a
local cotton mill, and entered a ma
chine-shop partnership later. He was
appointed q steamboat inspector for

SWELL, I was saying Dolly blows
into Joe's office one busy after
noon. She pushes the railguard aside
and crashes INTO Joe's private room.
She asks him if he wants to hire the
best dancer in Cairo. III. Joe says no.
So she calmly sheds the clothes and
stands revealed in a skin-tight gold
costume. She follows this up with an
idol dance, right there and then.
Joe was at first dazed. He's a
man of nerve, but Dolly had him beat
on that score. After Joe RECEIVERS a

ington May 20. 1899, more than a
quarter of a century ago, and formed
the nucleus for the national organiza-
ton. The late Capt. J. Walter
Mitchell, one of the foremost journal
lists of the National Capital, serving
for many years on the reportorial
staff of The Washington Star, was its
first commander and organizer, and
it was through his efforts that a di-

paraded and received a continuous
ovation during the peace Jubilee cere-
monies in Washington. May 25, 1899.

District of Columbia Volunteers to pass
to the great beyond. This camp,
which held its charter open from jan

ly orga nized on the latter date. Still
another camp was organized at that
time - the Surgeon Gibbs Camp -
which was later disbanded. These
three camps formed the basis for the

ment in the United States--and Gen.

1t may be interesting to know that
the veterans of 1898 were the leaders
In the World War. The chief of the
American expeditionary forces. the
chief of staff Of the Army in the
United States. all corps and division
comma nders and a majority OF the
brigade commanders were Spanish
American War veterans. Also thou
sands Of Spanish War veterans vol.
unteered, were enlisted and served
overseas.
TWENTY EIGHT years have elapsed
= since the Spanish-American MAR,
and the immensely Of the World War
has so overshadowed the wars Of all
time that the present generation has
! but a vague vision of the war with
Spain. In some minds it runs that
an overwhelming force Of American
troops conquered the Spaniards in
Cuba and Porto Rico, when in fact
| only 30 900 American soldiers were
| landed on Spanish soil and partici-
pated in the various engagements up
| to the time Of the signing of the
peace protocol-August IL, 1898
| fighting with inferior equipment
against a trained Spanish army OF
| 1876 900, well armed with Mausers and
protected by the strongest fortif1ca-
tions. The war lasted exactly ia
days from the date Of its beginning
april 81. 1899 to it's close. and the
treaty of peace was signed in Paris
December 10. 1898.
| While the Spanish War ended with
| the signing of the peace protocol, the
| incidental Boxer uprising and the
Philippine Insurrection engaged the
attention of our military and naval
forces. the Philippine Insurrection
ending officially July 4. 1902.
| The American soldiers and sailors
| fought the Spanish War with the
| spirit of 1916. and. though outnum-
/ bered more than . to 4 en- the en-
emy's soil. brought it TO close in
| the remarkably short space of ia
days.
| The result of the Spanish War was
of much import to our Nation. It
| changed the United States from a
| fourth-rate power to a first-rate power
| in the standing of nations: 1t swept
away the last barrier of sectionalism
between the North and the South, for
the sons of the men who wore the
blue and the sons of the men who
wore the gray fought side by side
under "Old Glory" at Santiago. San
Juan and in the Philippines, and in
our unselflsh attitude toward Cuba
we inspired in the countries of the
American continent a confidence of
our sincerity in their welfare. It was
truly a war of friendship, patriotism
and humanity.
