H. WILSON PLEADS
FOR PROHIBITION
Illinois Solon Believes National
Law Prohibiting Sale of Li
quor May be Passed on Soon
COLUMBUB. 0., Nov. 12.—Speaking
before the national convention of tko
Anti-Saloon league here today. George
U. Wilson, of Quincy, 111., member of
the Illinois legislature and a leader of
the dry forces in that state, strongly
advocated national prohibition. Re
ferring to the arguments used by the
"wets'* In Illinois, Wffton said:
"Ever since I have been a legis
lator, 1 have heard the threadbare
argument made by the wets again ec
township and local option, that we are
beginning at the wrong end; that we
should prohibit the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicalng liquors. 1 have
heard them get up with ‘affidavit* fnce
and aay the local option did not go
far enough, bat thAt they would vote
for prohibition. I want to give them
a chance before they die 1 want to
see them benevolently assimilated. I
believe that It can be done. With
the same non-partisan fight made na
tkmally that has been made in sev
eral states, I believe that the day
la not remote when we shall win;
that the mighty tide of public opinion
will quicken the conscience of oo»>
grass sad compel It to do Its duty.'*

They found the trunks In the Scheiwe
Storage Cos. plant, and laarned that
they had been brought in by tha
Boulevard Cartagt Cos. That firm re
ceived a telephone order from a wo

WHAT BECOMES
OF THE CHORUS
QRLYOUSEE?
Did You Ever Stop to Think
Whom tho Gay Songsters' Go
When They’re Old?
WARDROBE MISTRESSED
WHEN THEY CAN’T DANCE
Thnt’a Ifee Haven into Which
They Drift When Foot light
Days Are Over
Don’t yea* ever wonder what be
comes oi the ihouiuuids oi chorus
girls who form the tank* of the pop
ular musical show?
Don't you ever say u> yourself as
you see the perennially fresh face*:
"What are all these girls 1 saw last
year and the year before doing now*"
And did you ever guess tor a min
ute that if you could Jpok down below
the stage just one story you would
sae what some of these same flowers
of yesteryear are doing?
Down In the dark, dark basement,
In a long, narrow passageway or
housed In a tiny room, these same
girls bend over a sewing machine or
stoop over huge be-cluttered trunks.
They have become the wardrobe
i mistresses of the large musical
| Shows, and they must oversee each
dress, most carefully note the wear
and tsar on each garment, must mend
It when It la torn, must clean It when
It la dirty, muat pack It whan it la
time to move on.
And there in tha basements of the
theaters sit many of the moat popu
lar stars of the old favorite operettas.
Many a laughing face that has glad
dened the hearts of the early devotees
of "Babes In the Wood" and "Prince
of Ptlaen’’ now la wrinkled and care-,
worn. And the eyes that were de
murely lowered when the man in the
Stage box threw admiring glances
now are tired and faded with the
continual strain in the dimness of tha
long corridor.
Once an actress, always an actress,
Is what they say and firmly believe.
Some of them leave the stags when
they begin to tire of tho minor parts
they play and seem to aee no way to
the heights of stardom. Perhaps they
marry, but rarely happily, and If they
do not again re-enter the chorus they
look around for some position that
may be open to them in the old the
atrical field.
And to they naturally turn to tha
wardrobe. Moat of them, for all their
seeming impracticability, are, after
all. decidedly efficient and capable
girls. The days of comparative pov
erty on sl6 a week demanded that.
And In those days they learned how
to care for their clothes and to mako
dresses from the one pattern that be
longed to the wardrobe mistress they
then bad.
In those days they clustered around
their "mother," aa they called her.
and gossiped over whether the sleeves
were to be short or long, and If the
skirts were to have many plaits or
were to be shirred.
The memory of these days is as
sweet to any chorus girl as the
"spreads" of college girls are to them.
They remember the pleasant feeling
of ‘‘hominess" which seemed to per
vade them as they sat around the
kindly old woman who looked at them
over her glasses and gave them such
good advice, even though * she was
scolding them for me way they tore
their dresses.
And when the time comes for them
to look for another position and they
wish most of all to be back on the
stage, they remember the "mother"
of thair circus days, and, alghtng a
bit as they look In the glass, they
realise the 'time has come for them
to be "mothers" themselves.
In the "Passing Show" there Is a
chubby little woman who certainly
doesn’t look as If she could remem
ber all the far-away dates she tells
you about, and who with amaslng
cheerfulness and good nature does her
bard, tiresome work from day to day
with barely a thought of the glories

older generation calls up a picture or
one of the daintiest, most beloved fig

When Beatrice , Bertrand was 17
years old, a year after her marriage
to M. Alme Bertrand, one of the most
oeJebrated ballet masters of the con
tinent and later of America, s>»e was
tha rags of London. There was no
one who could dance like little ' Bee, ’
as they affectionately called her.
In 1689 she and her first appear

In the Woods," which her husband
produced At the Auditorium, in 1892.
Afterward she was in St. Louis, play
ing In a German theater there, and
then she and her husband traveled all
over the country, the husband pro
ducing and she dancing. -
Then the tide turned. Producing
waa alaok. Dancing was nb longer a
possibility. Her fame was great, but
approaching old age was greater, and
the flckla public clamored for young
er, more attractive girls.
For a law years Mrs. Bertrand lived
quietly.with her husband on tha
money which they had saved, but
toon hit mind began to fall and he
was taken to a sanltortum.
Left alone with a few friends In

had time to atop and make friends,
she grew melancholy and lonely, un
til the decided to go back on tha
stage In tome way or other. —Oblowgo

SETS NEW RECORD FOR
GIRDLING GLOBE
An Interesting and unique pamph
let received by the Detroit office of
thq National Btacult Cos., tells of a
new record for a trip around the
world which was set last summer by
John H. Mears, a nephew of the preel
dent of the company. His time was
36 days, 21 hours, 86 minutes and
four-fifths of a second, almost four
full days leas than the previous rec
ord held by Andre Jager-Schmldt, dt
Prance.
The route he took was by way of
London, Parts, Berlin, Bt. Petersburg,
Omsk, in Central Asia, Harbin, Fustn,
Yokohoma, Victoria, Beattie and back
to New York.
He carried all the way a package
of Uneeda biscuit, presented to him
by the president of the company at
the beginning of the Journey. The
feat was, of course, to advertise that
product. The company la advertising
widely that It found the contents of
the package as crisp and fresh when
It got back aa when it started. The
pamphlet received In Detroit shows
pictures of Mr. Mears and his ever
present package of biscuits In all of
the countries through which ha
passed.
California vegetable growing Is on
a big wale. Frond one place this sea
son twentydro car loads of rhubarb
and from another thirty-four carloads
of fresh asparagus went cast. One as
sociation cannery packed 4,600.000
pounds of berries in 1912.
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR,
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girla! Beautify your hair! Rake it
sdft, fluffy and luxuriant—Try
the moist doth.
Try aa you will, after an applica
tion of Danderine, you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp.Vvlll not Itch, but what
will please you most, will be after a
few weeks' use, when you see new
hair, fins and downy at first—yea—
but really new hair—growing all over
the scalp. 3
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy. Just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw It
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect ia im
mediate and amaslng—your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an In
comparable lustre, softness and lux
uriance, the beauty and shimmer of
true hair health.
Get a 26-cent bottle of Knowlton’a
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft aa any—
that It has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment —that’s all.—

SEATTLE, Wrill, Nov. 12.—Def
inite plans for ending the internal
warfare in the electrical worker*’
union between the McNulty and Reid-
Murphy factions will be presented thin
afternoon before the annual conven
tion of American Federation of Labor
now in session here.
This controversy which has shaken
the federation, has caused bitter dis
agreements in nearly every state in
the union, and It Is admitted by ail
that no progress will be made In the
electrical field until the contending
factions are united The Reld-Murphy
leaders have expressed a willingness
to “go half way” and have named a
committee to confer with a committee
from the American Federation of La
bor, with a view of arranging a set
tlement. The national officers of the
federation are lending their support
to the plans.
The federation today resumed con
sideration of the resolution intro
duced by Delegate Morris Brown, of
the Central Federated union of Great
er New York, asking that the charter
of the White Rats Actors* associa
tion be suspended. The committee on
adjustments is also discussing the
matter. The resolution alleges the
white rats are not entitled to a char
ter because they do not Include tn
their membership enough locals to
come within the limits prescrlbeu by
Che federation rules.
Brown presented another resolu
tion charging that the White Rats re
fused to allow the Hebrew Actors’
union, which Is amalgamated with
them, the right of presentation, al
though an agreetaent to this effect
was made at the Rochester conven
tion.
