The name 'sarine" does not apply,
as many people think, to a certain
species of fish, but means any small
fish suitable for the purpose. The
name is derived from the island of
Sardinia, in the Mediterranean Sea,
where many sardines are packed.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. July 24.-Rev.
Weber Of the socialist" party, Mo-
ser Of the A. F. of L. and Kurtz, rep
resenting Gov Pinchot are attempt
ing to counterfeit the good effect of
the Paterson strike by individual set
tlement, on boss terms, behind the
backs Of the workers. An unauthor-
lied conference was held with the
Canova Mills and commanded the
strikers to accept their terms, which
they refused to do. These betrayers
brought their proposition to the
Chairmen's Committee, but tehy are
afraid of the mass sentiment and do
not dare violate the decision against
arbitration and individual settle
ments. However, the danger is great
that the chairmen will reverse the
decision and have become the
mouthpiece Of the U.TW. official
dom. In the past week they reversed
the decision Of unity with the Pater-
son workers participating in united
front committee and called the police
to the strike hall, attempting to keep
out the non-UTW strikers.

Not q Hero.

"T)oN'T call me heroI" The APP
peal comes with real earneStnesS
from Paul LukaS, one Of the screens
popular actors. Although he Is now
past the point Of being q villain. or q
mere character actor, Lukas says he has
never been hero and never hopes to be.
If you must tell what I am in a
picture, say I am the central figure or
the leading man, but never the hero
he added In that charming accent
which has contributed much TO his
popularity.
Lukas does not want to be known as
Q hero because he believes that the
term denotes Prince Charming type,
and this he dislikes. Paul. probably, is
thinking In terms Of his profession
alone.
mo hero Is true to type" Lukas says.
There are no perfect people in the
werld. Every one has faults, and be-
lieve the flaws are often more interest
ing than the projections. In all Of my
Characterization I am part good and
part bad. have never been a villain
without some good traits. No one is
ever as bad as the old style Of heavies
were"

Looking Ahead

Benn W. Levy, the young British
playwright who wrote Mrs, Noon
light" has added to his fame during
the past year. He 1t was who made
the adaptation of Marcel Pagnol's
"Topaze" for the English-speaking
stage, skillful and intelligent adapta-
ton which lost nothing of the subtle
charm and humor Of the original
French and materially contributed TO
the instant success of the American
production.
While 'Topaze" was still turning
them away" on Broadway, Jane Cowl
was winning added laurels in Mr..
Levy's Art and Mrs. Bottle" and
Charles Hopkins already had produced
his Mrs. Moonlight" Three eminent
successes running simultaneously in the
same city is a record of which even the
seasoned dramatfst might well be proud.
In addition to Mrs. Moonlight" the
Professional Players will also bring
Charles Hopkins production Of A. A.
Mines GIVE Me Yesterday" Mr..
Hopkins is great admirer of Mr.. Milne
and has been responsible for the produc-
ton of two of his plays in this country.
Mr. Hopkins says Mines plays are de-
void of rhetorical fiubdud, always
charming and literate, and Give Me
Yesterday" has a rightful place among
his finest dramatic achievements.
