Diffdent Young Man Holds Spotlight in Capitol
 Picture

The modern trend toward mys- tery and detective stories was start ed more than fifty years ago by young and ingenious new writer, Ann Katherine Green. Up to the time of her death, Miss Green pro- duced this thrilling type of a nov el. She died April 12, 1885.
 Miss Greens first introduction into the literary world was through The Leavenworth Case" which Republic Pictures Corp has pie turized with stellar cast of play CTS. This picture is now at the Coliseum Theatre.
 "The Leavenworth Case" for many years, lead the sales of all mystery-detective stories, despite the fact it was written more than "a half century ago. Translated in every popular language it still sells several thousand copies yearly
 Out of more than thirty of Miss Greens novels, this famous mys- tery story has been declared the most popular. It has sold more than 100000 copies and still there is a great demand.
 Bunker Bean," the feature pie ture at the Capitol now, follows the trend that proved so popular in "Ruggles of Red Gap" and stars Owen Davis. Jr., and Louise Lat timer.

 COED SMOKING

CHICAGO, Dec. l0.-Midwestern universities have reached the point of recognizing the co-eds desire for a cigarette
 All co-eds ao not smoke. of course, but for those wishing to light up between classes, it de- bends upon whose campus she treads.
 Washington university at St. Louis has a faculty ruling prohibiting the coed to smoke in front of Brookline hall, in the womans building or any place on the quad- rangle.
 At the University of Chicago the coed is considered old enough to use her own judgment as to where she smokes.
 The same rule prevails at North western University The girls have the privilege of lighting up when and where they desire-eXcept in the class room
 De Paul University and Loyoia University forbid girls smoking on the campus. Loyola however, has provided a special rom for the pur- pose in it's downtown building.

Fatal Accidents Increase Cum u la tive Death
 Rate Decreases

NEW YORK, Dec 10.-Despite an increase in the number of fatal accidents occurring in the first ten months of 1886, as compared with 1885, the cumulative death rate among the 17,O00,00O Industrial poll icy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company had de- clined by the end of October to point nearly equalling the all-time low record established in 1885, for the same ten-month period, accord ing to statisticians of the insur- ance company.
 Comparison of the change in the death rate, in 1886, in this large insured group, with that in the gen. eral population of 86 large cities, shows up favorably for the insured, who registered an increase of only about one per cent, whereas the group of 86 cities showed a mortal ity increase of more than seven per cent The decline in the tubercu- losis death rate continued through out the 10-month period, while such favorable mortality developed in the case of typhoid fever, measles, scar let fever, whooping cough and diphtheria that, unless unexpected outbreaks occur, the death rates for all of these diseases are ex- pected to attain for the entire year of 1886 the lowest points ever ex- perienced by the policyholders. The homicide rate has dropped 19 per cent in a year and may es- tablish a record low point by the end of 1886, while there have been fewer suicides per 100000 lives of policyholders exposed than in any year since 1929. The cancer death rate for the l0-month period was 3.5 per cent lower than it was at the end of October, 1885, while decline of 10 per cent occurred in the death rate for diseases inciden- tai to pregnancy.
 The year-to-date death rate for the Industrial policy-holders de- clined from 8.6 per 1000 at the end of September to 8:5 at the end of October, which compares not un- favorably with the record low rate of 84 per 1000 established at the end of the 10-month period in 1895. i With respect to fatal accidents, the statisticians say:
 More fatal accidents have oc- cured during the first 10 months of the current year than during the like period of 1885. Information is not now at hand to determine whether the increase is due to arise in industrial accidents or in acci- dents in the home, or in both. In- asmuch as many more people have been employed in industry this year than in 1885, rise in indus trial accidents may well have oc- cured. This, however, is certain, that the increase in total accidents is not due to rise in automobile fatalities, for the cumulative death rate from such fatalities among Metropolitan Industrial policyhold- CTS at the end of 10 months is only 19.1 per 100000, as compared with 19.9 at the end of October, 1885,"

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 10.- Film factory touring.
 Turn the calendar back to July day in 1881, and you find the Brit ish House of Commons in tense session. This is the day the young Irish statesman, Parnell, is being accused of fomenting riots in Ire land.
 Actor William Stack has the lengthy speech of accusation. Ga- ble knows the answer, also lengthy. Just in case, however, property man Bert Spurlin squats out of camera range beneath a blackboard on which the dialog is written. Bert follows Gables speech with cane, jumping it from word to word as Clark speaks.
 Directir John Stahl makes half a dozen takes" of the protracted scene, a difficult one because the speeches may be perfect and at the same time the background action provided by the members-must be perfect.
 Most of the members are be- whiskered gentlemen, many of them venerable, which makes it funnier when assistant director Red Col den imuportunes them: Boys, boys, not so much moving around there!''
 Gable is smooth-shaven, having won his to-beard-or-not argument. His suit, too, is slightly out of period Cinematic license is invoked, because fashion accu- racy would make our hero look slightly comic.
 Charles Whitaker, historian, writer, technical adviser, dwells lovingly upon the perfection of de- tail in the reproduction of the House of Commons. It is indeed re- narkable job.

 One of the girls is Teddy Blue, 19, who with Betty Shraber, IS, roller-skated here from Duluth, Minfl.
 Teddy was in few movie chor- uses two years ago, but when noth- ing better broke she went home. This time she decided to return spectacularly. She did-and land- ed in the Pick a Star chorus. But if she doesn't get break as fancy skater soon. she is going home for keeps Betty tap-dances on skates.
