 NEW MUSICAL
 ENDS TONIGHT
I'M a nh rattan Merry-Go- Round Is Showing for
 Last Times, Capitol

The merry y-go-round is going round and round and round. down at the Capitol Theatre. with no break downs" whatever. For the latest Republic musical production, Manhattan Merry Go- Round, is holding forth to an audience which indicated by it's appreciative re- ception, that this brand of enter tainment is here to stay.
 There's gaiety and verve to Manhattan Merry Go Round" which fills all corners with car nival spirit, a holiday air which brings them into the theater whist ling and sends them out singing. Perhaps it's the sure-fire new tunes, including Mama, I Wanna Make Rhythm" and I'm a Musical, Ma gical Man" Or perhaps it's the rol- licking performances of that mel odious young Phil Began, and his large gang of fun-conspirators in cluding Leo Carrillo, Ann Dvorak, Tamara Geva, Kay Thompson, Henry Armetta, Cab Galloway, Jim my Gleason and Joe DiMaggio.
 Yes, Manhattan Merry Go = Round" has everything from soup to nuts. There's romance. tJust watch Phil Began and Ann Dvor- ak in those torrid love scenesD comedy Geo Carrillo, Hen ry Armetta and Jimmy Gleason see to that) And there's novelty. (Joe DiNaggio, the Yankees sensational centerfielder, makes his screen de- but, and there's even featured role for Gene Autry, King of the cowboys)

WORK HOUSE AT
NEW CASTLE

The old Court House at New
Castle could at a comparatively
small expense be turned into a
workhouse, where the prisoners
could and should be obliged to
earn their living. Prisons are not
only intended as places of punish
ment, but they should also be re
formatory institutions and there is
but little hope of reforming a
thief who is obliged to spend a
year or more in idleness. We are
very much in favor of prisoners
being obliged to work, as it would
not only be better for them but
also for the taxpayers. We would
be willing to go even further than
this, and would cordially favor any
means by which a part Of the
value of a prisoners labor would
be kept for him until his term ex-
pired so that he would not be turn
ed out on the world without a
cent. Articles could be made in a
jail workhouse for the use Of the
inmates of the almshouse. We be
lieve that a plan Of this kind is not
only feasible but eminently
worthy of trial.

hogs Ia months old that aggregat-

420 IA pounds. The heaviest
weighed SIS and the lightest 384

pear that the average growth OF
the eight hogs was just one pound

AN EDITOR-AUTHOR

Frank r. Stockton was attract
ed by stories of adventure. Pr
rates appeared in some of his
longer stories, and the action of
"The Lady or the Tiger" speaks
for itself.
He was born in Philadelphia
in 1884. His writing career in
cluded work as editor and Origi-
nal writer. As assistant editor
he worked on the stats of st.
Nicholas Magazine, the Century,
and Hearth and Home. His own
writings were designed to amuse
the public, not to espOuse any
cause; nor was he Influenced by
sectional traits in style. He died
in 1902.
Stockton was famous i'm his day
as humorist, this spirit first be-
ing evidenced i'm "The Ting-a-
Ling Stories" which showed his
nimble, elf-like fancies. Never
did he exceed the natural hum0r
of "Rudder Range" a collection
of short sketches ON rural life
first published in Scribner's
Monthly. He was a keen observer
of the feminine temperament, de-
irving humOr from this source.

We agree with you, this trio of

that there is anything complicated

affords a grand opportunity to carry

HERE are two perfectly charm
IL ing fashions that will fill
definite place in your life if you
make them up Immediately in
pretty cotton or cool silk. And they
are so perfectly in key with fu-
ture fashions that you should by
all means repeat them later in
fall and winter materials. You'll
be surprised, when you study the
detailed sew chart included in each
pattern, how quickly and easily
you can finish them.
Tailored Dress of Pique.
If your daytime wardrobe needs
replenishing for the remaining
weeks of summer, make this nice
tailored dress of pique or Bingham,
and see how refreshed and COM
Portable you'll feel. Later on,
wear it for fall in challis, jersey,
or flat crepe. The short sleeves,
easy waistline and action pleats
in the skirt make this dress very
easy to work inland the deeply
notched collar and patch pockets
give it finish enough so that it is
appropriate for street wear, too.
Tiny-Waisted Afternoon Dress.
Here's the type of dress that all
important fashion sources show
for fall! The shaped, rather high
square neckline, the short sleeves,
pulled at the top, the gathers that
give you flattering bust fullness
anG the very, very small waist
these are all new notes. Just five
steps, too, in the sew chart. For
immediate wear, make it up in
dotted Swiss or voile.
