 uary First

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov 20. -Twenty-four outstanding stars i from fourteen Eastern universities have been listed by Coach Andy Kerr of Colgate University as pros- poets for the all-star Eastern team to play the all-star Western team at Kesar Stadium on New Years day for the benefit of the Shrine Hospital for children In communication of William Coffman, director general of the EastWest game, Kerr states that his trouble this year in selecting an outstanding team will not be in getting players, but in picking out 1 the best stars of hundreds who have asked to be included on the Eastern team
 Among the stars that Kerr has listed is Albie Booth, Yale's famous quarterback.
 Another star who Kerr states is the most talked of man in Eastern football is Barry Wood, Harvard's outstanding backfield player.
 The team that Kerr has listed at the present time as prospects are:
 Centers - Chalmers, New York University; Daugherty, University of Pittsburgh; Marsland, Colgate.
 Tackles-Newton Syracuse; Con- cannon, N. Y. University; Mac kesey, Brown University; Sciebel, Colgate
 Ends-Orsi, Colgate; Ebert, Syr- acuse; McNeil, w. and J.; Yu- Hickey. Dartmouth.
 Guards - Yeckley, Princeton; Morris, Pittsburgh; Barres, Yale.

 Quarterbacks - Booth, Yale; Wood, Harvard; Morton, Dart mouth
 Halfbacks-Taylor, Yale; Mur- phy, Fordham; Hewitt, N. Y. Uni versity; Hinkle, Bucknell; Armen- trout, Carnegie.
 Kerr will select eleven far East ern players and Dick Hanley, coach of Northwestern, will select eleven men from the Middle West to join with Kerr's selections to form the Eastern team.

Paper" Buy, But Big

The New York Giants have paid a good price for Leonard Koenecke the Indianapolis slugger, in an ef- fort to strengthen the outfield for 1882 It is question whether such players as Heving, Berly, Rosen- berg and one or two others are worth the paper price of $75,000, but they represent considerable, in these days, for one "AA" class outfield.
 John McGraw has had lot of bad luck with his outer defense since the old reliable combination of Meusel, Stengel and Young was broken up.
 Edd Roush was about through when he came back to the Giants. Mel Ott and Freddy Lindstrom were converted into outfielders by force of circumstances.
 Rosenberg, Allen, Fullis and Leach all were in the scramble for outfield posts last season.
 Lindstrom may have to be pull ed back into infield again if Hughey Critzss arm does not re- cover by next spring, thereby crea- ting another outfield problem for the veteran manager.

Golfing powers might take tip from the baseball magnates and standardize the size of the ball for Q sufficient period to give the boys who roam the fairways chance to familiarize themselves with the situation.

rooms quite the handsomest Norma
had ever seen. The dapper uni
formed bellboy accepted Marks tip
and Withdrew. They heard the door
close.
Norma did not look up. She was
aware Mark was beside her, though
he neither spoke nor touched her.
A long moment. An infinity which
passed in a flash.
Suddenly his arms were around
her. Swift kisses smote her cheeks.
Norma could feel Marks heart beat.
The girl caught her breath for sheer
happiness.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

TINE glowing orb of molten gold
Il stirred gently and moved to the
right. Out of the sunlight it was
not glowing betal at all, but a mass
of tangled and unruly curlS.
Norma shook her head and the
bobbing tendril that had been OBJ
securing the vision Of her left eye fell
back into place.
Curled up in the huge rose tapes
try chair, the girl seemed a tiny
creature. She wore negligee of
blue. 1t was skimpily cut, made of
cheap material, but as gloriously
azure as the heavens on perfect
july morning. A worn black satin
mule Topped back from one barred
foot.
Norma's loose sleeves fell away al
most to the shoulder, revealing arms
of creamy whiteness. Like the rest
of Norma's body, the arms were ex-
quisitely formed, slender but
rounded.
She was smiling. Not at the
young man across the room, His
back was toward her. Norma smiled
at the reflection in the mirror Of the
dressing table.
1t showed young man, coatleSs,
theoretically brushing shock OF
brown hair back from his forehead.
He was an unusually good-looking
youth even when he frowned as ne
did Just then, and threw down the
brush to tug at his necktie.
Suddenly he caught Norma's eyes
watching him in the mirror. The
frown became a grin. Mark
whirled.
See here, Mrs. Travers!" he said.
"Do you call yourself a helpful wife!
Sitting there taking my mind eff
everything I try to do!
Cant even tie my tie decently!
See here, what kind of conduct do
you call that"
I'm three strides he was across the
Il room, perched on the arm of
Norma's chair and touseling her
curls.
The girl laughed and tried to de-
fend herself. A moment more and
Mark had routed her from the
chair, appropriated it himself. He
held Norma, protesting gaily, in his
arms and the game became a
spirited contest.
Much rubbing of blond curls the
wrong way. 1t was exciting fun

Drawing his sword, Blake spurred straight
between two knights who rode close behind the
one who carried Guinalda A quick slash to
right and left and both knights toppled from
their saddles. Before others could prevent him,
Blake was alongside the young knight who was
bearing away the Princess Slipping his arm
about the girl, the American drove his blade
with his left arm far into the body of the
youthful knight and spurred ahead, carrying
Guinalda.

COMEHOW it tooh much longer
- than might seem necessary for
that farewell. 1t was thrilling to
hear the ridiculous things Marx
said.
1t was difficult for the youth to
tear himself from blue eyes filled
with alteration, from warm lips and
soft arms that would restrain him.
The door closed and Norma was
alone. She could not even hear
Marks footsteps going down the
carpeted hall.
Desperately she wanted to call
him back, but what good would that
do? He only would go away a sec
ond time.
The luXuriousness Of the room
about her suddenly impressed Nor
ma. She ran to the door leading
into the bedroom. The rich ivory,
rose and mulberry Of walls and
hangings, doors that were mirrors,
and beyond her the glow Of SUM-
light on a peach-tiled bath-she
seemed to have noted none of these
details before.
The rooms represented elegance
that was tasteful, restrained. Stay
ing in such a place must be fright
fully expensive.
Norma turned. There on the table
in the sitting room were the paper
bills and coins Mark had tossed
into her lap. Thirteen dollars and
forty-flve cents.
Sharply the girl wished for
Mark. There was no re pretend
ing this rosy haze Of happiness
could go on endlessly. The work
aday world was there just as it had
been.
This glorious balloon bubble must
burst and ample warnings had been
sounded in Norma's deliberately I'M
listening ears that all might not be
so joyous then.
There had been the scene with
Marks father. Where was Mark
now? Where would he get money
to pay for this handsome suite of
rooms?
They couldn't stay on here. Where
would they go? Marks work in the
real estate office had been in his
fathers employ and would end now.
What would he do? What would
she do?
A THOUSAND practical ques-
IA tons waited to be discussed.
Neither she nor Mark had men
toned any of them. Again Norma
thought restlessly of her job in the
Office of Brooks, Welliver and
Brooks! 1t really had not been
right to leave without notice.
OF course twenty-four hours ago
she herself hadn't the faintest no.
ton that this morning she was to
be Marks wife. She treasured those
words; repeated them slowly.
Marks wife.
How she loved him! That was
the tremendous, unquestioned fact
Of her existence now. How she loved
this handsome husband!
Norma dropped to the wide, deep
cushions of the davenport. She
was happy again in memories. For
long minutes she lay there. After
all what was there for her to do in
this new whirlwind of living but
to wait for Mark?
Mark would make everything
come right. Mark was so wonder
full.

MISS FIELD GIVES
CHRISTMAS PARTY
FOR Is CHILDREN

Eighteen children, WerdS OF tne
Territory, who are under the care
and observation of Miss Minnie
Field, had the finest Christmas
party yesterday, with a wonderful
tree, fine dinner, picture show,
and gave a program of their own
for several guests who came to
wish them Merry Christmas, and
stayed to enjoy the fun.
Miss Field had arranged every
thing for just the old fashioned
Christmas party that it was. And
every child was made happy with
gifts, whic h included practically
everything that a child could de-
sire.
A little playlet was given, eacn
child gave recitation, and several
sang.
Capt. and Mrs. r. B. Lesher
aided Miss Field in giving the
party. Others who joined in either
as participants or in greeting the
youngsters, included United States
Marshal and Mrs. Albert White.
Mrs. Justin w. Harding, Miss Shaw
and Miss Erb, teachers in the
public school. Mrs. Edna Haley, and
j. G. Morrison.

From geologic evidence, however,
there is a high degree of proba-
bility that related beds extend
southwark from Anthracite Ridge
beneath the gentler slopes that lie
between that ridge and the Matan-
uska river. In that area the coal
formation is in large part covered
by glacial deposits, but sufficient
structural observations on the coal
formation were made to indicate
the probability that the area con-
tains reserves of coal that may
run into many millions of tons.
Although no surface showings OF
commercially important anthracite
were found in the southern area.
and although none of the field OBJ
servations there directly warrant
the assumption that such coal as
occurs is of anthracite grade new
ertheless, as already stated, the
thick anthracite beds of the north
ern part Of the field may extend
southwark. Whether or not this
is so can best be proved by quality
drilling, and a drilling program to
determine the thickness, attitude,
quality and depth Of the coal below
the surface at the most favorable
localities therefore seems warrant

MARION DAVIES
WILL Give WAY
TO FAIRBANKS
Reaching for Moon al
Midnight Tonight and
Tomorrow

With THE Bachelor Father"
starring Marion Davies, showing
at the Capitol theatre for the last
times tonight, Reaching For the
Moon with Douglas Fairbanks,
Bebe Daniels and Edward Everett
Horton, in the leading roles, will
headline the new program tomor-
row, the first regular presentation
being at the afternoon matinee.
This program, however, will be the
subject of the preivew and after
dance special matinee at l o'clock
tonight.
Tonight is Silver Night" Every
woman attending either of the
performances will receive a piece of
table silverware.
Last night, Christmas Night, was
Unemployed Night" Persons out
of work were admitted to the
performances free of charge.
Wears Advance Styles
Just before starting work on
THE Bachelor Father" Miss
Davies made a trip to Europe She
knew just what kind of clothes
she wanted to wear in the film.
Therefore when she came home it
was not at all surprising that her
luggage boosted a few extra trunks,
For the star paused in Paris and
purchased her wardrobe from ad-
vance stlye models, instead of wait
ing to select them when She re-
turned to Hollywood.
Anticipates the Future
The story of Reaching for the
Moon" is set in present-day New
York, or rather, it anticipates the
architecture, fashions and speech
of two years hence. Skyscrapers,
pent-houses, a palatial ocean liner
and fashionable haunts abroad pro-
vide the backgrounds.
This does not imply fantastic
riot of queer shapes and decora-
tons. Modernistic furniture and
appropriate settings in the best
manner, beautiful and harmonious,
have been designed and created by
Edmund Goulding, director of the
photoplay, and William Cameron
Menzies, the supervising art direc-
tor. The smart, ultra effect is
exactly suited to the theme and
the tempo of the picture.
Styles of 2 Years Hence
The gowns and extra habili-
ments worn by Miss Daniels and
the scores of handpicked beauties
in the cast reveal what the fash
ion craze will be the year after
next.
Fairbanks is back in modern
clothes for the first time in ten
years Laughter is the prime in
gredient of the picture.
AS a stockbroker busy making
millions, Fairbanks has never had
time to WOO a girl.
Forgets Abaut Money
But when he meets Bebe Daniels
who plays a society aviatrix, he
forgets all about money and pur-
sues her across the ocean to find
that she is engaged to titled
Englishman. This doesn't stop him.
Horton, playing the valet, recently
in the service of Grand Duke, in
structs Fairbanks in the art of
making love, and the comedy be-
comes uproarious.
