Proper Way to Cut Felt Patterns
The tiny figures and other designs
of felt which are So popular applied
on hats, coats, dresses, sweaters and
even purses are difficult to cut accu-
rately from a large piece of the ma
terial unless sufficient care is taken.
To do it, cut the pattern from paper
and paste it with large, flat stitches
to the felt. Then simply cut around

Thomas Bates, charged in Great
Falls with swindling a foreigner out
of $1,000 four years ago, was arrest
ed in Chicago. However, the sher-
ifs office in Great Falls ordered his
release because witnesses and the vic
tim could not be found. A man sup
posed to have been Bates and a COM
panion are alleged to have fooled the
foreigner into believing that the gov
eminent was going to discontinue all
paper money. Under their suggestion,
the foreigner drew his savings out
of the postal bank and placed it in
strong box along with a roll of bills
belonging to the two men, for the
purpose of changing the bills into
gold later. The men gave the for
eigner the key as security of good
faith, but that was the last he saw of
his $1,000.

An improved outlook for the oil In

whole, experienced one OF its worst
years in 1927. when American produc-

excess OF 1926 totals and greatly in ex-
cess of the demand
There is no present reason 10 be-
lieve that 1928 production will reach
the unprecedented mark set in 1927"
the report states, "and 1t is likely that
large drafts will have TO be made on
stock in storage. Through this reversal
Of conditions the industry may expect
in 1928 better average prices and larger
profits"
Further encouragement for the in
dustry is seen in the disposition OF oil

"Ancient h7ar'ner" Had
Counterpart in Life

Many of the literary classics which
the world accepts as fiction are based
ON solid fact. a striking example Is
brought out in the Golden Book, which
tells how Coleridge came to write his
immortal "liime OF the Ancient
Mariner"
The poem was inspired by George
Shelveeke, shipmaster who spent
three years In a voyage around the
world, from 1910 to 1722. Returning
to England, he wrote an account of
the trip, telling how the ship had been
becalmed for many days near Cape
Horn. The one sign of life was a
black albatross, which lowered over
the vessel, until the second officer
liotley, taking it for an III omen, shot
1t down.
There followed six miserable weeks,
in which the ship was in constant
peril, before the coast of Chile was
sighted.
1t was in 1897 that Coleridee's
friend, William Wordsworth, suggest
ed 10 the poet that he make Shell,
vocke's story into u poem. Words
worth incidentally suggested such of
the eerle details as the navigation of
tlle shin by dead men, and also fur.
nished several lines of the poem it,

Director Says New Film
Eclipses His Successes

When the last scene for "The
Docks of New York" was com
pleted at the Paramount Holly
wood studios, Josef Won Sternberg
turned to a friend and remarked
This is the best picture | have
ever made
The remark is more than pass
ing in its importance for the di-
rector is the same one who startled
the world with "The Last Com
nand, starring Emil Jannings
"rhe Drag Net starring George
Bancroft, and, last but not least,
underworld" the latter being
the first picture the director
ont for Paramount.
To have given the film public
three such pictures in row. all
of which have been heralded as the
best of their kind, is no small az
complishment. As rule, directors
are remembered by the public for
a solitary cinematic achievement,
1t appears Won Sternberg is an ex-
ception to that rule. He has turned
out three consecutively masterful
and successful pictures.
No better recommendation could
be asked, therefore, for the direc-
tor himself to class "The Docks
of New York, " which opens at the
Vashon Theater, Wednesday, De
cember 10, as ''the best picture
have ever made.
