members of the Association for Jewish
Farm Settlements In the United States.
The corporation would issue 100000
shares of capital stock, to be offered to
prospective settlers at the rate of $500

the occasion. Miss Margaret Lanner made her
first appearance ON the stage It was one Of

little lady had ease without boldness and child
like ingeniousness without irsipidity."
Soon we find Miss Lanner playing in AN

man, and the other members Of the Daily

After that she played leads at the Boston
Theater. then she went on the road as leading

writer only recalls having seen Mr.. Coleman
on the stage but once, and that was back in

she has since made her home. Mr.. Coleman
died at his residence on Rock Greek Church
road in 1918, and Is buried in Oak Hill Gene
tesy.
It was q clear but chilly Sunday evening
when the writer called on Mrs. Coleman at
her home in Takoma Park. To say that this
former actress looks as if she was IS or 40
years old, and that she is today as sprightly
as q deer would not be telling the truth. and
besides, the dates already used in referring to
her would surely prove the first statement
mtrue-as figures CO. But she does show vim
for q woman of her age, and she Is very inter-
esting in what she has to tell you Of her years
on the stage and the actors with whom she
frequently came in contact.
She is a good entertainer and makes one
feel perfectly at home, and after you have
been in her presence for awhile you entirely
forget that you are talking to woman whose
stage history goes back so far. She said she
remembered Mary Anderson very well, and
spoke of her in most kindly terms. Upon one
occasion she had been overtaken by rain
storm on her way to Days Theater, and she
said that when she arrived at the theater
"Our Mary" stopped down and removed her
wet shoes and replaced them with q pair Of
her own that she might not catch . cold.
Indeed, she said that this good actress was
always doing something thoughtful and nice
for some one-just real dear sweet woman
that the world has known her to be.
Mrs. Coleman is proud Of her ancestry, just
as every one should be proud Of his forbears
who have done something worth while. Her
father, she said, was an Austrian, named VIII
helm Eye, who came to America in the middle
Of the last century and settled In the South.

State. 1t is understood that Kentucky printed
a biography Of Mr.. Frye subsequent to his

Mrs. Coleman likes to talk Of the old the
atrical days and the contemporary artists she
knew when she was entertaining the public
and when it required different style of act
ing from that which we so frequently see today
in order to hold job with first-class COM
pany. Indeed, she lives in the sweet atmos-
pherc OF the good old days Of yore among her
old distinguished actor friends, many of whom
have passed into the great beyond. She takes
great delight in speaking Of her son, Thomas
G. Coleman, with whom she lives and his four
sons, who will keep the family name going for
many years to come. She is comfortably situ-
ated and surrounded by those whom she loves
most dearly, and though she probably could
not dance the schottische or the polka with
the same agility she could when she made her
debut at Dalys, yet she does show decided
traces OF her former grace and beauty and
her recoIlections Of the past are as keen today
as ever.

W. AND J., DETROIT, DUKE
EXPERT AT TOSSING OVAL

Polytechnic Institute meets Alabama at
Tuscaloosa. Both the Virginia elevens
are pretty sure to 60 down In defeat,
unless Bill Raftery's Cadets spring one
Of their upsets. It hardly seems pos
sible, though, for either Virginia Tech
or ". M. I. to win.
One game In virginia likely to be
fiercely contested Is that at Lexington
in which Virginia meets Washington
and Lee in the latter's home coming
powerful than it has been given credit
for being, while washington and Lee Is
exceptionally strong defensively. These
two factors seem TO indicate close
score, with the possibility that neither
team Will get touchdown. Virginia
will be without one Of its best backs.

last week In an automobile accident.
NNE intersectional game listed to-
morrow, Georgia at Yale, may re-
suit in victory for the Southern
school. Indications point so strongly In
this direction that 1t would be more of
O surprise to see Yale win than 1t
would be to have the long end of the
score won by Georgia. Georgia, with
elevens in the South. Any team that
could score four touchdowns against
Tulane has an offense, especially when
1t Is considered that Colgate supposedly
with one Of the best offensives In foot
ball could not score one. Yale has q
real job on its hands to stop Georgia.
Pennsylvania and Ohio State a,
Philadelphia and West Virginia and
Wisconsin at Madison engage In two
intersectional contests. Ohio State anc
Wisconsin are the likely winners.
Probably the game toward which the
public will gaze with greatest interest
is that at South Bend between Notrt
Dame and Purdue. In the first place
1t should be especially interesting be-
cause 1t is rumored that Kizer, coach
at Purdue, Is slated to take Anderson's
head coaching Job at Notre Dame. And
In view Of this and the stories that have
been printed about it, it would be real
ironv from Kizer's point of view II
Notre Dame were to win. And, without
the least doubt, Notre Dame may dc
that and nothing less. 1t seems to be
almost foolhardy to intimate that Notre
Dame has chance in view of Purdue's
rather one-sided victory over Carnegie
Tech, which beat Notre Dame. But
Notre Dame has the power, has the in
dividual playing capabilities, and. II Il
