erstwhile vaudeville magnate here

STARTLING THREE SHEETS
First associated with Chase, in
the capacity of office boy, was
John C. Chevalier, now general
manager of the Palace Laundry,
who recalls having assisted George
T. Thompson, Of 1922 Quesada st
N, W., with his art work on the
startling three-Sheet announce
ment of current and coming shows
In 1912, Chase built the present
RKO-Keith's Theater, the old
house having been taken over by
Polls. One year later he sold the
new theater for a reported price
Of $1,000, 900 to B. F. Keith, who
later married Chasefs daughter,
Ethel. The latter is now Mrs. Je'
rome Selinger, Of New Canaan,
Conn.
WENT TO OHIO
Leaving this city, Mr.. Chase
went to Sparta, Ohio, where he
became interested financially in
railways. In his last years, he was
an ardent advocate OF retirement
pensions for Government employees
and was a leading sponsor Of the
bill providing them.
HE was a lovable charac-
ter" unused his former office
boy today, "but a stickler on in
siSting that the Chevalier shoes
be constantly shined. It hadn't
heard from him in several years,
but had often wondered what
became of him. I was very sorry
to hear of his passing"
Mr.. Chase died Tuesday at st
Petersburg, Fla. Surviving, besides
his daughter, are his widow anc

Worcester, Mass.

Toulouse mothers produce about IS
eggs annually. They are dependable
sitters and raise obedient and fast
growing youngsters. These geese are
hardy and are considered fine market
birds.
The gray goose or Toulouse, like all
other geese. is close grazer Of grass,
and during the growing season subsists
chiefly on green grass. The birds are
not wanderers and remain in one place
as long as they find tender green food.
Storms and cold rains with wind are
rather hard on them, and in the north
they must have warm shelter through
the winter. In the south they can
get along nicely without such luxury,
though cold nights will find them SEEK
ing low shrubs or in the shelter Of
some growth to break the wind. They
keep close together and generate their
own heating plant. When raised for
market, they are fattened on grain
and not permitted to have wide rang
ing grounds.
Goose raising may be profitable when
undertaken tn a way to prevent losses
and to have the geese ready for the
market during the late autumn and
early winter. However, the demand for
geese is not as great as for other kinds
of poultry and this is an important
fact to take into consideration, if you
are planning to raise geese for sale.

Gray Goose
(Anser cinereus).
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Geese are raised in all parts Of the
United States, although they are more
successful in the Middle Western and
North Central States. Different breeds
have been developed for the different
climates. It is interesting to see what
q decided preference some geese have
for one part of the country, and others
will thrive in another location.
The gray goose has a long ancestry,
since all breeds of geese in this coun-
try are descended from the wild gray
goose. They have been domesticated
for centuries. There are six breeds
which are recognized as standard in
our country. They are the Toulouse,
Embden, African. Chinese, Canadian,
or wild, and Egyptian. In the United
States 1t is found the first two are
the most popular.
The Toulouse Cor gray goose) is so
named because it first came from the
city Of Toulouse, in Southern France.
