Plans for the President's Ball in Marfa are taking shape rapidly, ac­cording to committee chairmen of tho Civic Club who are sponsoring the Ball and Jack Edwards, general thairmun. Eddie DeVolin and Ilia Mountaineers will furnish the music. Ticket sales are going rapidly ahead and it is thought that a great num­ber of people from Fort Davis, Shat­ter, Presidio and Valentine, as well as the Jlarta people will attend the Ball here.

The hall has been specially decora­ted for the occasion this year. The Ball will (begin with the President's Ruffles, or bugle call by a group of buglers from Fort D. A. Russell. Following the call, the Grand March, will offbially open the Ball. Happy Days Arc Here Again will be the first selection played by the orches­tra with the entire attendance sing­ing the song featured at the re­cent inaugural of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Washington with dancing following. The President will broadcast his greetings as usual over a coast-to<oast hookup on the radio. Arrangements have been made for tho hookup and a radio will be placed in the Ballroom so thot dancers may heir the President's message at 11 o'clock Central Standard Time.

Seventy percent of the money clear­ed from the Rill will stay in Marfa for civic work. Thirty percent will go to the Warm Spring3 Foundation to further the work of infantile paro-lysis.

Texas Produces More Men's Clothes in 1936

Austin, Texas—Texas continued during 1936 to hold first place among the states in the production of mens work clothing and Texas factories are now supplying much of the de­mands of local markets for many lin­es of women's wear, it was ascertian-ed in a recent survey of Texas cloth­ing manufacturing plants by Clara H. Lewis, editorial assistant of the Texas Bureau of Business Research. Tho "clothing industry in this state faces a favorable future, Mrs. Lewis declared. There were 142 clothing factories operating in Texas at the close of 1936.

Reports from 52' factories manu- ] facturing men's work clothing in the' Stato of Texas indicate a total of 4,321 employed at present. The num-1 ber employed by the individual es-, tablishmcnts varies from ten to six hundred workers cash. Seven of the factories report an average employ­ment of 250 or more. The total em­ployment for thi3 group is at present 2,762 workers.

Approximately 62 percent of the 142 factories included in this study report national distribution for their products, as well as serving Tcx^s, and the Southwest. Several manu­facturers produce goods for the Southwest markets only.

While tho clothing industry in the Stato has developed principally in th larger cities, H Is especially inter­esting to note the gradual Increase in the number of plants lcoated at points distant from the larger com­mercial areas. The principal factors that contribute to the development of tho clothing industry in tho smaller cities of Texas, parallel in genral, th changes evident for the country as a whole. These factors include the continued increase in demand for the ready mado clothing, lower production costs often possible in the less den­sely populated sections of the coun­try, and the greater efficiency of modern distribution methods. Today it is estimated that about 30 per cent of tho total number of clothing man­ufacturing plants are located outside the larger cities of tho state.

Nation Gathers Forces To Stage Bigr Birthday

Party January 30th

NCw York — Prosperity hiving como around the corner and the Am-cricsn public being better informed than ever beorc concerning the nat­ional fight against infantile paralysis Colonel Henry L. Dohcrty, for the fourth year chairman of tho national committee for the President's Birth­day balls,, expects Americans will celebrate Mr. Roosevelt's fifty-fifth birthday with unexampled enthusiasm on January* 30. ^

Early response to the committee's proposals, he said today, was such as to indicate millions more Americans would hold more parties this year *.han CVP.T before-. PrsMminajy at-timates -.rere for more than five thou­sand parties and balls scattered all over the entire country and in great cities and tiny hamlets from the At­lantic to the Pacific, from the Can-nadian to the Mexican borders.

The proceeds on the basis of col­lections in previous years, were ex­pected to run over a million dollars.

More than 300,000 victims of pol-imylitis in the United States continue to need the assistance of their fellow citirens in rehabilitating themselves as useful members of the community he pointed out. This year seventy •cents out of every dollar will be used for the benefit of sufferers in the lo­cality where the money is raised. The remainder will be turned over to the President for the Warm Springs Foundation to enable the institution to continue its national leadership in the battlo of mankind against the mysterious and often fatal malady.

Leaders in every field of national activity have rallied to the national committee in its efforts to make the All-American birthday party a huge success. Science, art , labor, politits and society are al prepared to lend their support to the committee. The press, the radio, the movies and other agencies of propaganda have gener­ously offered their space and time. Among the national leaders who were prompt to accept membership on the national committee were Ambassador Jos. V. Davies, Charles G. Dawes, Ed=el E. Ford, Walter S. Gifford, Patrick Cardinal Hays, William Ran­dolph H-yir?t, Bishop William T. Man­ning and General John J. Pershing.

Mr. Ford wired "I shall be g h d to join with the others on the nation- , al committee for the Birthady Ball." ,

Cardinal Hayes was "pleased to consent to use my name," and other acceptances were in a similar vein.

Several local chairmen, when they were asked to serve this year, com­pletely satisfied headquarters with a cheerful single word "Sure," or "yes."

With the customary presidential inaugural ball in Washington elimin­ated this year, the National capitol will outdo itself in celebration of the birthday of the chief executive. As has been the custom for the past three years, President Roosevelt is expect­ed to broadcast a message to celeb­rants throughout the nation on his rifty-fifth birthday.

Endorsing the 1037 effort 'against noliomyletis, the President wrote: "My own views are that the nation­al fight against infantile paralysis cannot cease. It must po on. I am sure that the tirthday celebrations in 1037 can be even of increased value j to the notion-v.-ide fight against in- i fantile parlysis which is being con-1 ducted."

"ii E «t(j BEND SENTINEL FRIDAY,

BRUCE-BARTON

What are some of the beauty faults most annoying to men? This was the question asked in a. recent sur­vey and the answers are helpfully enlightening. Oddly enough the high nail polish shades are no longer so repulisive to the male of the spe­cies. Strong perfumes, particular­ly wrong odors received a unani­mous thumbs down. The rustle of new taffeta pettJ:oats is quite okay, but most men registered annoyance at sight of the edge of apink or white slip showing under a dark skirt. One wanted to know what feminine gest­ure was less graceless than pulling up a girdle when arising from a chair. Another bold young man sug­gested that hairy legs should hide behind service weight stockings or be shaved befoifc slipping into sheer hose. Dirty fingernails, are of course inexcusable to all, but no lady ever has them. False eyelashes were not at all !bad, but lashea so heavy with mascara that they stick together axo definitely divorced from beauty.

* # * Scrawny throats and the neglect­

ed area back of the neck, upper arms, elbows and knees, are best treated with a body brush in the bath. Soft bristles are much more irrvigoating than cloths or sponges. Continued massage with plenty of warm, sud­sy water will soon coax those neglec­ted areas back into a state of satin smoothness and whiteness, evidences of a youthful akin. Where there are blackheads <and other unattractive skin conditions. It is especially im­portant that tho body brash be oatd xcgularly.

IT MEKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

• • • • • A young man burst violently into

my office. His face was somewhat haggard,

and his clothes disheveled as though ho had been up all night, as in fact he had.

But there was electricity in his watk and sunshine in his eyes.

"Wave you heard the wonderful news?" he cried.

I told him that I had not heard any wonderful news sintee 1929.

"Well, you're going to hear some now," he exclaimed. "I have a boy. Yes sir. Seven and one-half pounds. Born at five-thirty this morning, Think of it—me—a son!"

Whereupon he became almost inar­ticulate, waving his arms and emit­ting sounds that were half laughter and half tears.

At last, ho gained! sufficient self-control to impart the news that the new baby had blue eyes. (I hadn't tho heart to tell him that all new ba­bies have blue eyes, and he wouldn't have heard me anyway.) "When I looked down at him for the first time the little rascal looked.up a t me and smiled. And he reached out ond grabbed my finger and say—well, I don't know how to express it, but when I felt him grip my finger, so trusting and everything; well if I was worth five thousand dollars to my boss yesterday, I am worth ten thousand today."

Did I treat his enthusiasm serious, ly- You bet I did. Any man who himself has passed through that ex­perience and does not feel a reverent sympathy for a younger brother in the same situation has some serious lack in his soul.

« * » * THE OBITUARY PAGE

Ort.'e T was talking with Kent Coop­er about what interests people in the newspapers.

He said: "When a man gets to bo about forty-five years old, he dis­covers he obituary p3ge."

I am certainly not a gloomy mind­ed person, but I have always more or less thought about death. The at­titude of a large portion of the hum­an race toward it seems to me infan­tile and silly.

Tt is not a pleasant subject, but certainly it is an inevitable one. Why dodge and pretend like children? As said Caesar: "Of all the wonders that I yet have

heard, I t seems to me most strange that men

should fear Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will cime."

All of whfch leads me to remark that there is a certain advantage in discovering the dbituary page com­paratively early in life. The trag­edy is that some men never discover i t

I have seen a doddering old million­aire, with one foot in the grave fight­ing with a taxi-man over a nickel or trying to beat down the price of a neck-tie.

I once sought a contribution to a •charity from a millionaire who was well over sixty and notoriously tight. He told me all the reasons why he could not give up a cent and as he warmed up to the subject he began to act as if my call was an insult.

Finally I said: "Why are you so mean? Why do you deny yourself pleasures and squeeze every nickel? I t isn't your money; it's your child­ren's money or will be in a few years. Why let them have all the pleasures? Why not have the fun of giving some of it away?"

This rude remark shocked him. I think that it started a line of new thought that made quite a change in his life.

— U O Y S —

After a baby has grown out of long clothes and has acquired pants and freckles and so much dirt that well-meaning relatives do not dare to kiss it between meals, it becomes a boy.

A boy is nature's answer to the claim that there is no perpetual mo­tion. He is a man, minus pride, am­bition, pretense, greed and about 110 pounds. When ho grows up he will trade romance, energy, bashfulness, warts ond a snag-proof stomach for these other possessions, A fcoy is always getting the worst of it in some

Boys arc not popular exscpt with their parents. But they have many fine points. One of them is the fact that they will grow up to be men somo day. Another h their en­tire trustworthiness.

Being a volunteer myself I hsdt-inglcss confess that the V. F. D.'s do a pretty neat job of fire fighting. One of the pluckiest, performances I ever saw was turned in by the volun­teers of Hempstead, Long Island. A large lumber yard in a. \h\My set-llud urua was fully ablaie and the wind was blowing the fire toward the center of the town. Six minutes af­ter the alarm sounded the chief, a volunteer, had six heavy lines and a deck pipe deluging the lumber yard. For three mortal hours his men took tho flames in their teeth. The flam­es blistered the paint off their ap­paratus, Ibut they held fast. If they hadn't, the whole town of 20,000 would havo gone up like paper. Fin­ally, in the face of this dogged bat­ting, the fire decided to give in. The chief grimly remarked after the fire "Fires are like that, they know when they are licked, but they'll bully any. man or department that shows fear or weakness."

Another (time in Ohio I saw a vol­unteer fireman go down a 120-foot mine shaft with a hand extinguisher and gas mask to assail a fire smold­ering in the pits; carbon monoxide had already killed two miners and waa endangering hundreds more. He fought the fire for about two hours, using twenty fire extinguishers and came up victorious at last. For his heroism he received a new suit from the mine owner, because he was wear­ing his best suit when the alarm wn3 sounded.

Besides putting out fires, the vol­unteers are called out for many oth­er activities; ot a hydrophobic pup rage down main street or a cat find itsef marooned on a steeple and the fire department swings into action. In a bee-raising country the volun­teers are often asked to capture a swarm of escaped bees.

For all this varied activity the vol­unteer firemen got no pay. In some larger c/>mp(anies, ithe "engineer," often has a permanent job, for it is considered poor economy to let Tom, Dick or Charley drive an expensive truck. Under most state laws, vol­unteers are insured for $3000 in the event of' death, and are covered by disability insurance for injuries re­ceived in line of duty. In New York state the V. F. D.'s receive two per­cent on all fire insurance written by companines outside the state.

The tnx economies made possible by this remarkable volunteer system are conservatively estimated at one bil­lion dollars a year. To pay salaries and buy uniforms for the present

Yet t E ^ J i J L •to not appear on tho tax bills of CO millions icitizens whoso lives and pro­perty are protected by volunteer com­panies

Firo prevention is one of the Jois of the volunteer fireman. As part of their training, rookie volunntecrs cx-amino all public, office and factory buildings, take notes on dangerous features end plan effective action against hypotheical fires| These plans are discusscsd at the weekly drill. Painstaking inspection of this typo enabled Middlctown, Conn., to reduce fires sixty-five percent in the past five years. The volunteers aLso check on available water supplies. A water map, on which all ponds, brooks and cisterns are noted, hangs on the station wall. In several of the states whero water is scarce, fed-era", relief workers have built cisterns under supervision of voluntneer fire offk-ials.

Besides water, the volunteers learn to use other extinguishing ag­ents. At a Pennsylvania fire school I saw a largo tin shed drenched with F-asolinc; an open tank of trasolinn stood in the shed and into this a flaming torch was thrown. A red welter of flame flared up. Then the firemen turned on a stream of sudsy lather, a substance called fire-foam. It covered walls, ceiling and the roar­ing tank with a blanket of tough bub­bles that excluded all oxygen. In less than two minutes tho gasoline infer­no was completely smothered

Next an elc'stric generator was ig­nited. Tn this case the foam might ruin the machinery; water might electrocute the fire fighter. A fire­man walked forward with a small cylinder to which was attached a short hose. As he pressed the trig­ger a white snowy substance descen­ded upon tho blazing generator. It was carbon dioxide, a gas heavier than air. When this falls upon the air it forms an atmosphere that does not support combustion. It leaves no residue and docs not damage the most delicate mechanisms.

As new equipment comes upon the market, the V.' F. D's. quickly get it; today their trucks are high geared machines than can travel 80 m. p. h. Many trucks have a special oxygen inhahtor, a vast improvement over tho old pulmotor~resustication cases. New search lights, royal blue in col­or, are supplanting the traditional

TEXAS U. OFFERS ANOTHER NURSING DEGREE NOW

Austin, Texas—Approval of the gcncnrcl faculty of the University of Texas has been given to a proposed course of study leadinng to the degree of bachelor of science in nursing edu­cation to be offered in the Ma.n Un­iversity hero The proposal must now be approved by the Board of Reg-«nts of the University

Establishment of this degree ha* been requested by tJjc- Texas (Jradu-ato Nurses Association, whhh has cooperated in working out the pro-gram and which proposes to finance instruction in the nursing education courses involved It doe* not replace tho present bachelor of nursing de­gree but is intended to supplement that degree. The offering of this de­gree is in line with practice in the best state universities

red ones. The blue ray has a greit-er penetrating power in fog and mist.

During the idle hours the fire house becomes a center of social activity, a combined lodge room and communi­ty house where firemen and their friends congregate for card parties, checker games and aateur theatri­cals. Parades, conventions and wa­ter fights (in wfu'rh rival

f*nmnnnioe try to flush cach other off the street with pointblank streams) also o:cupy the volunteer in his leisure oments when he isn't reading "Volunteer Fireman," a magazine published sole­ly for his benefit.

Whenever I land in a strange town I always wander over to the fire sta­tion. The free-masonry of volunteers is proverbial. It is this social aspect of the V. F. D's. that fascinates so many of us. The firehouse is our club and political forum where men forgather in the comraeship thati springs from vanquishing one com­mon enemy; morever it richly sup­plies the single greatest thrill in Am­erican life—running to fires.

The volunteer fire departments of tho United States constitute a mod­ernized defense against the ever-pre­sent fire-peril, but perhaps more im­portant they keep alive the spirit of voluntary and independent assoc'a-tion traditionally dear to the Ameri­can heart. These miniature and self-supporting Democracies, composed of modern Minute Men, are banded to­gether on an American principle as old as the town meeting. When the last volunteer company disappears, then, and then only, can we really begin to tear for the institution of self-government.

HI TRUCK LEGISLATION Any change in existing Texas truck

(aws which. will increase the present 7,000-pound load limit will affect ad­versely all communities in the stale, both rural and urban. This statement is proved best by identifying the causes and effects upon Texas communities.

These are: 1. increasing truck loads mean cor­

respondingly increasing the distance which the truck can profitably carry its load.

2. Increasing the distance of profit­able truck haul means bringing the small town wholesale houses and indus­trial plants, such as wholesale grocers, bottling plants, feed mills, oil mills, grain elevators, cotton compresses and retail lumber yards, into direct compe­tition with similar establishments in large cities.

3. Such competition will inevitably re­sult in further drying up the small coun­try towns by taking from them the payrolls, taxes and local purchases rep­resented by their present establishments. Property values, both residential ami commercial, will decline; velum* of re-

foil sales will grow smaller and former empoyees will migrate to the cities to reinforce the ranks of the unemployed and the bread lines.

4. Large cities, at first stimulated by increased trade territories, bought at the expense of the country towns, will be ultimately affected adversely because of the resulting unhealthy condition of the rural communities forming these trade territories.

5. Because of the consequent shrink­age of the state's tax revenues from country towns, taxes from the cities will have to be increased correspondingly.

6. The lower truck load limit of Texas now has the effect of acting as a bar­rier at Texas borders to the movement of the larger truck loads carrying mer­chandise from the metropolitan and pro­ducing centers of other states. Any increase in Texas truck load limits will break down that barrier and permit tho free truck movement into the state of many commodities which unquestionably would bo sold directly to the retailers, thus destroying, in a lojge measure, tho business of wholesalers and jobbers now located in Texas cities.

Conditions which effect adversely tho well-being of Texas com­munities also affect Texas railroads in Identical manner and degree.

Ray Atkinson had two big beauti­ful black eyes last week end received from the hands of his playful cousin Eddie. Ray says that his cousin plays too Tough and gave one of them back. i Ray could have claimed to luwc run into a double door.

— C C — Kid Cook, the Casner Terror, is

getting stale, not having had any fis­ticuffs in a couple of weeks, now.

CC Just about everyone is going to the

President's Ball tomorrow night and those who don't dance are buying tickets. Helping crippled kids is a greeat need as helping flood victims even if not as dramatic for the need «xtends over years instead of a few days or weeks.

— C C — Marfa, already sending more than

double her quota, was asked yester­day by the Red Cross to raise the ante five times on account of the (conditions being so much worse than first realized. Jack Kelly, local chair­man, said that he had never seen peo­ple respond so freely. Us folks in Marfa can be mighty thankful that

•old Man River never comes to our door. Wer're pretty well off in lota of ways as the weather goes. We

missed all the ice and bitter cold that hit most of Texas the rest of the country this winer.

CC When Ole Johnson first left Mis-

«;«sii>iii for- ei'.'ilisation he took a ir.iir.' to Texas and let his curiousity get the best of him when a newsbutch.came through the car with a basket of ban-nanas. Ols told the butch he want­ed to buy one of them things. Later how he liked his banana. Ole said how h liked his banana. Ole said' "Well, it warent too all fired fittin'. In the first plaice it was mostly cob and what little was lef to eat was plumb sorry and bitter."

— C C— Tobe iShipley is circulating an on-

ery lie about Old Cuss. Tobe aint got a sell on me for over six months and I'm three up on him.

CC Tho post office is now batok to nor­

mal with the return of Albert Logan to active duty.

— C C — Burton Mitchell removed a chair

from under old Cuss the other night just as I was about to sit down. Well of course I did, but it was further down than I anticipated and wiused mo to take up a lot more floor space than usual. I believe the most help­less, hopeless feeling in the world is to realize you are sitting on a chair that aint there. Old Cuss would be much obliged to anyone who could tell me'of a dirty enough trick to do Bur­ton. p

C C Alan Fnaser had a fellow ask him

if the "D. A." title he is called stood for "damned attorney."

A news reporter traced the fifty cans of milk to Anna Hold's apart­ment. He discovered nobody wa3 at tho time drinking the milk. Instead Ann:\ Held was bathing in it.

Zicgfeld's defense was that the milk ivua «mr and spoiled Anna's com­plexion. Many misguided American .so.ioty wmrn s'.arted a craze fro the milk luihs, and it became the classic publicity stunt of all time.

THE PACE THAT KILLS

DICK FORAX CAN TAKE IT AND PROVES IT TO COWBOYS

Who ore thc most nic-itilt-ss rib-bera in Hollywood?

Vinco Harnett, you may say, or Director Woody Van Dyke, or the combined froces of the Marx Broth­ers. Well, these gentlemen are pret­ty fair examples of the ribbing art, but none of them can hold a candle to the aristocracy of the horse op­eras, the motion picture cowboys.

Any tenderfoot actor who has been taken from the dramas of the draw­ing room and thrust into the cyclon­ic confusion of a Western picture, will vt»tf;h for this. Ribbing is a? much part of the screen cowboy's lifo -as are his high heeled toots, his spurs and his chaps.

And woo to thc weakling thespian who can't take it. He will be plag­ued from morning till night and will find peace only when has finished his role r.nd tuniod in his unfam­iliar Western outfit to the Wardrobe Department.

All this will b'j vouched for by Dick Foran, red headed hero of Warner Brothers Eerie.? of Westerns, who in the course of a year's time, has taken the Western ribbing test and passed with high honors. If lie hadn't, well you probably would not be seeing him in sir:h roles. Dick would have been-forced b:vck to the more con­ventional cinenvi of modibh men and dinner jackets.

But Dick Foran came through. He ij now appearing in "Trailing West," to he at the Texas next Saturday. His cowboy comp.iions respect him now. They still rib him and Dick ribs right back. That's the true test of getting along with the boys from the plains.

Billed as the "Snging Cowboy," Dick received hi.s first experience in a Western approximately a year ago when he played thc leading role in "Moonlight on the Prairie" The picture was an instantaneous hit with Western fans, but few of thc j I>cople who saw thc finished picture realized what tho star had undergone l»efore tho picture was finished.

Tho cowboys started with Dick thc first day of production. Just as the noon day lunch hour was called a coupje ©f the boy roped him and tied him to a tree. He was kept thero a ful« hour while the company ato their lunch boxes in front of Him.

Dick was tho star of the picture to the director and producer* To t i e cowboys ho was just another tender­foot who would have to cither pass or fail the hard test of cowboy rib-bine;.

Tho boys almost cxhousW their 1 routino on Dick before tho picture |

There wos once an idea prevalent that only simple minded or weak-willed girls became delinquent, but tho fallaty of this idoa is now quite generally recognized. In fact, the morons, white slavers, "Good Time Charlies," and the "Foxes" do not trouble themselves with unattractive girls. The more beautiful and spir­ited, the more desimble and worth­while a girl may be. and the more eagerly she is pursued. And the brightest girls are often the ones who seek most eagerly to probe the mys­teries of life.

The sad finish that overtakes these gay little adventurers, who pit their puny strenghh .against he mighty forces of life, is the theme of the new production, "The Pace that Kills."

This picture, which is intended for adult consumption, is a very forcible dramatization of an actual case of (— — Juvenile Delinquency, traffice in dope 1«-,— and human souls, and is startlingly j j frank in its handling of a very deli­cate question.

"The Pace That Kills" will be at 'he Texas at the matinee Monday and at the Tuesday matinee and Tuesday night.

and Charles Frohman. Tho film story covers every phase

of Ziegfeld's career from the time he first exploited Sandlow, "Strongest Man in the World," at tho ISiiS Worlds F.air, upto the time of his death.

Tho musical numbers arc posibly tho most razzling ever conceived for either stage or screen. Staged by Seymour Felix, formerly Ziegfeld's dance director, they include the Am­erican Girl Circus, number, featuring Harriet Hoctor in a daring original ballet with unleashed lions, the Girl Bouquet number featuring the Glori­fied American girls and Ray Bolger.

Also thc You number featuring the Glorified danring girls, on the Ziegfeld roof; the Honeymoon Cot-ago number; again featuring the Glorified Girls; the Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody number, featuring Virginia Bruce and .¾ parade of the '• most gorgeous Adrian costumes ever! designed; and the Finale, a breath taking panorama of music, song and spectacular stage settings.

Lavish sets, designed by Cedrie Gib-bons, include many elaborate stage scenes, the interiors of famous hot­els and theatres, and many other fa moiis edifices that ben me mileston es in Ziegfeld's career.

much material had to be discarded to insure perfection of the production as a if/hole.

The story begins in 1893 when the great ZZii-gic'd introduced San'low. the strong man, at the Chicago World Fair. But this venture causes him much grief. Sandow is a flop, while a sensational dancer, managed by his rival, Balling3, a character bor­ing a strong resemblance to several Broadway producers, proves to be a noteworthy success.

Out of this circumstance growj up a conflict, and friendship that is ex­citing, tense and yet contradictory. Thc more bitterly these two men fight each other in the show world, the

' nearer they grow as friends. Another outstanding character in

tho picture is Anna Held. She was an extraordinary woman, and artist who made her first hit in the music halls of Paris. Zicgfeld met her when lis was commissioned to go to Europe to find talent and he brought her here to .appear in '"Papa's Wife." Her success in this role furnishes one of tho most romantic incidents in :-tage| history. She sang naughty j She picked out members of thu diei'ce and flirted with them. _... winked her beautiful eyes and com plained that she could not make :hem

as completed. They made him dance to the accompanying music of pistol fire; tripped him all over the set with their ropes; plagued him with rubber tipped arrows, and doused him in tlw creek. Dick came up smiling every time.

Foran is an old hand at .all this now. He helps the boys out with their ribbing of new actors and often takes a hand himself in turning the tables on the cowioys themselves. In their own words, "Dick is a darned good scuot."

"Trailing West" is a thrilling dra­ma of espionage in the Civil War pe­riod, with a Western setting.
