 The accused woman, Lulu Marks, la servant in the house of the murdered Mrs. John Morgan Drake, is arrested at the scene of the crime A motive for the murder is established and all the evidence, including finger prints, point to the Marks woman as the slayer, but she maintains a strange, Sphinx-like silence when her attor- neys beg her to help them in pre- senting a defense.

LAURA LA PLANTE IS
 AT PALACE WEDNESDAY

She wanted romance-and she found more kinds than she wanted in Hold Your Man." UniversaIs dialogue farce-c om m edy starring beautiful Laura La Plante, which comes to the Palace Theatre on Wednesday.
 Hold Your Man" is one of the most amusing comedies in Miss La Plante's long list of sensational successes. It deals with the tenn porary rift in the domestic felicity of young American couple, caused by the girls desire to go to Paris to study art.

What she does when her husband comes to Paris with a girl whom he intends to marry as soon as the divorce law allows, forms the basis for all sorts of hi larious complications.

ReaI-Life Drama

Originally it was planned to star Miss Lewis first in a talkie based on her own life and what a story it is!
 But they won't-it's to be a tale about French peasant girl in the Revolution, instead.
 Perhaps the studio powers thought the true story might not be accepted by the public because of it's Horatio Algeresque qualities!
 The plot, of course, would open with her poverty stricken child hood, her adoption by foster-par- ents who educated her musically but otherwise, in her opinion, were not kind.
 There would her runaway to the nearby town to get work, her sec ond adoption, school for two years, and a second runaway to join a musical comedy chorus-but those were just the beginnings, and it would take a master scenarist to weave a conventional screen story from the whole.
 The show went broke in San Francisco, and Mary went into vau- deville, singing and dancing until she lost her voice.

 Ten years agoAthe opera star was a Christie Comedy girl at $40 a week. Today, for two talking pie lures, she will tuck away a neat little sum around $184,000, some thing like $4,0oO for every minute she actually appears on the screenl
 When Mary was in picture she was playing second leads in typical slapstick comedies. Among her contemporaries were Laura La Plante and Colleen Moore, then just beginning their climb to stardom.

Wide Belief in Virtues
of Peony as Medicine

The peony is credited with medIcI-
nal power by peoples as far apart as
the Japanese and the inhabitants of
countries OF western Europe. Accord
ing to ancient herbalsts 1t was an
herb of the sun, and consequently pre-
scribed for maladies caused by the
moon. 1t was good for nightmares
and menaicholy and a preventive Of
insanity and commissions. The flower
probably came from japan and trav-
eled In ancient times by way OF Persia
to Greece, where Is gave the land OF
paeonia Its name. and was the origin
of the word "paean." which originally
meant chant of delivery from Illness
or wounds-anothcr indication of the
belief that the flower had rare healing
properties. The neony appears to have
found its way to England by about
1000. It has frequently been made
the subject for poem OF which one
by Bliss Carnan Is probably the best
known.

Montana cannot neglect the educa-

in her charge. II is this thought that
rings through every one OF the resolu-
lions passed, by the innumerable state
organizations in favor OF Referendum
Measures 80 and 81
The organizations endorsing the
measures include the State Federation
of Women's Clubs. the State Press
Association. State Federation OF Labor
and many state and county groups OF
businessmen. farmers and others. All
express the thought that this state
like all others. must carry out its OBJ
legations.
They point out that intollerable con-
ditions OF over-crowding exist at such
institutions as the State Hospital for
the Insane. State Prison. State Or
phans' Home. State Industrial School,
and others and that the $3.0O0,OO
bond issue which will be authorized
by the passage OF Referendum 80 will
make it possible for the legislature to
catch up on some OF the long neglected
repairs, requirements and needed addi-
lions at state institutions. They point
out too, that the state no longer can
put off remedying these conditions.
Equally serious are the conditions
which make necessary Referendum "a
for a renewal OF state support for the
higher educational institutions, accord
ing to the Montana organizations.
They point out that support for state
higher educational institutions expire
this year and that this measure will
renew this support. Without Referen-
dunn "a these institutions will have no
assured support after December OF
this year. This measure, because 1t
will provide little additional revenue
for the state at cost OF only $1.24
per capita, also will make 1t possible
to reduce state warrant Indebtedness
