AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES
Rialto, Sunday—"North of Hudson
Bay"
In each picture starring Tom Mix,
the beloved William Fox exponent of
clean, bright, active character, there
is at least one new and dangerous
stunt incorporated. In "North of Hud
son Bay," which is a big Fox specitl.
this custom is magnified by tenfold.
Thus, when it opens at the Rialto
theatre this Sunday, patrons, will
have the^opportunity off seeing a good
star at his best.
From the opening scene at the small
Alberta farm of Michael Dane, until
the last fade-out on the boat, home
ward bound, the adherence to the
story of Judes Furthman entails a
sweep of action unparalled in any
thing Mix ever has done before.
Tom Mix is surrounded by some
well-known screen players in this
pheiomenal production of the north
ern' wastelands.
The added attractions will be a Lee
Kids comedy and Fox News.
Rialto, Thursday—"You Can't Get
Away With It"

William Fox from the story by Gou

'Tis Better to Repair a Leaky
Roof Than to Pay for the
Damage It Causes"
You' ve heard the story of the man
and the leaky roof. When it rained
he couldn't fix it and when it didn't
lain the roof needed no fixing. And
so ruined ceilings and walls cost
him more than toot repairs would
have cost.
Shingles and
Roofing
If you have a leaky roof, profit by
his example and fix it now while
you can. The value of the protec
tion pays for the repairs.

EAGLES
To Initiate Large Class Mon
day Night—National Of
ficers to Be Present
Batter Aerie No. 407, Fraternal
Order Eagles, is making great plans
for the initiation of a class of 100
candidates to take place next Mon
day night. It was announced at the
meeting of the aerie held last Mon
day night that Grand -Worthy Vice
President Otto P. DeLuse, of Indian
apolis, Ind., would be present and ad
dress the members.
Several other national and state
officers are expected to be present
also. A delegation from the Norwood
Aerie has notified the local officers
that they would be present and bring
with them their famous trained ele
phant, Zeeko, to take part in the big
initiation. All local Eagles are ac
quainted with Zeeko, and no doubt,
some of the candidates for Monday
night will know him better after the
initiation.
A social time will be had and a fine
lunch will be served immediately
after the initiation.
HARRYSTRAUSS
Plans to Open New Furni
ture Store Next Tuesday
Harry Strauss, proprietor of the
Harry Strauss Furniture Company,
Third and Ludlow streets, announces
the opening of his new furniture store,
in the new Rosenberger Wall Paper
Company building, South Third street,
on next Tuesday evening. The new
store is conveniently located, being
right opposite the Third street en
trance to the post office.
The new store will be known as the
Reliable Furniture and Carpet Com
•any and will carry a complete line of
furniture, stoves, floor coverings and
•lectric lamps. In the new store
there will be a series of sky lights
n the ceiling so that .it will always
be possible for buyers to make day
light selections in all parts of the
main show room.
The fast growing business of the
Harry Strauss Furniture Company
makes the opening of the new store
not only possible but absolutely nec
essary. The rise of Harry Strauss in
the business world, of Hamilton is
ruly remarkable. Just a few years
back he opened a second hand store
on Ludlow street. He then open
ed a new furniture store in
the Jacobs hall building, where it
was soon realized he would have to
have more room for his growing busi
ness. IJe then bought the building
at his present location, remodeling it
and opening the first floor and base
merit. In a short time mor^ room
was needed and the second and third
floors were occupied.
But still more room is needed, and
now comes the new store to be opened
Tuesday. The real reason for Mr
Strauss' business growth is in his fair
and dependable dealing with all.
Handsome souvenirs will be given
to all grown-ups at the opening of
the new store Tuesday night, with
everybody invited to call.

Venetian Mirror Makers
Once Had World Monopoly
In picturesque Venice, the center of
the arts during the Middle ages, a few
clever experimenters rediscovered the
old secrets of mirror making and even
Improved upon the ancient master
pieces. They made an amalgam ot
lead and tin with which they "sil
vered" their mirrors, and conquered
the attention of all Europe, and the
other parts of the world then com
mercially known.
Venetian mirrors were almost price
lew, so highly were they esteemed.
Vincent de Beauvais, writing in 1250,
declared that the mirror of glass and
lead was a marvel and the best of all.
Kings tried to make arrangements
through special emissaries and am
bassadors to have mirror makers
come to their courts—but in vain.
The Venetian doges "proclaimed a law
that any glass maker carrying his art
into a foreign state should be forced
to return if he did not, his closest
relatives were arrested and Impris
oned as hostages.
Should he still remain at the court
of a foreign king, special agents were
sent to kill him and destroy his estab
lishment. This state of affairs last
ed until the reign of Louis XIV of
France, when Colbert, the famous
minister, began to break up the
enetian monopoly of mirror making.
In the face of all the disastrous laws
of Italy, he imported twenty artisans
from the mirror guild of Venice, and
established them in Paris, in the Fau
bourg St. Antoine, where they enjoyed
the protection and patronage of the
king.
Thus was the mirror Industry firmly
established in France. Later on, when
it WHS safe, these artisans were dis
tributed to other parts of the king
dom, and several manufactories start
ed In the provinces.
Creature of Mystery
Found in Ant Colony
The most mysterious personage in
a colony of African driver ants is a
creature perhaps an inch and a half
long and three-quarters of an Inch
high. It is not an ant. In fact, so
far as science Is concerned, says Prof.
R. L. Garner In the Century maga
zine, it is as yet unclassified.
In comparison with the ants, con
tinues Professor Garner, it is enor
mous. Tlfe creature—there is only
one to a colony—looks for all the
world like a tiny elephant in a circus
parade as it lumbers along in the rear
part of the line of march. Its body
is about as thick as your finger, and
its legs are proportionately heavy and
help to Increase the resemblance to
an elephant. There is always a body
guard five or six deep round it aa
it marches.
The thing is hardly a prisoner, for it
has never been found anywhere ex
cept In a column of driver ants. What
Its sex is is doubtful. Several of the
driver ants were taken to Germany a
few years ago and examined, but no
important knowledge was gained. Per
sonally I have never captured one of
the creatures, but I strongly suspect
that it is really the queen of the col
ony. For In all species of the hymen
optera, which includes ants, the queen
appears to be an anomalous creature,
many times larger than the other
members of the colony and always
different in form.
"Palatinate"
This term is a survival of feudal
times. In the days when a man's
house was actually his castle which
he had to defend "by force of arms,
kings were not anxious to assume re
sponsibility. Therefore they found It
convenient to assign their adherents
to districts, giving ea^h the power to
be master, collect taxes, and adminis
ter justice as he saw fit. The term
"palatinate" was appropriately ap
plied to such a holding as It comes
from the same Latin root word as
"palace" and "castle." Three hun
dred years ago palatinates were com
mon. Many English counties have
been palatinates and this form of
governorship was common over here.
For instance, Maryland was the
palatinate of the Calvert family.
Maine the palatinate of Ferdlnando
Gorges, etc. The Bavarian palatinate
is the only territory of any importance
which has retained the term.
Made Name at Sculptor
Clark Mills was an American sculp
tor, born In Onondaga county, N. Y.
December 1, 1815. He died January 12
1888. In 1848, when he was on fhi
eve of leaving for Europe to stud
the art of sculpture, he received i
commission to erect an equestrian
statue of General Jackson. According
to the story, Mills had never evei
seen an equestrian statue. He, how
ever, set to work, designed his mode
and then found it necessary to lean
the art of bronze casting, inasmucl
as there was no one in this countr
prepared to mold his figure in bronze
The statue of General Jackson by Mill
is in Lafayette square, Washington
and a replica is in New Orleans.
Not Such a Bargain
A gentleman at a country fair was
solicited by a lady attending one oi
the boorhs to buy something. He
gallantly replied that what he would
care to buy he feared would not be
for sale—a lock of her hair. To his
amazement and delight, she quickly
cut off the coveted curl and .smilingly
received the price offered—$10. The
proud purchaser was exhibiting his
joy by the remark: "She rather got
the best of the deal, for to my certain
knowledge, she only paid $4 for the
vrtiole wig."

MARTLEY CO.

Robert Fallert, Vice
President
Hamilton is to have another real
real men's store -beginning Saturday.
The Martley Company has taken the
oom formerly occupied by the Red
Trunk Clothing and Shoe Company,
211 High street, in the Rentschler
building. The room is being com
pletely remodeled and will be one of
the handsomest in the city when fin
ished. The store will handle the lat
est in men's furnishings, hats, caps
and pants.
The Martley Company is organized
with A. S. Levy, president, and Rob
ert Fallert, vice president. Mr. Levy
formerly owned the well known Lloyd
lothes Shop in Cincinnati. He has
had much experience in the men's
wearing apparel line. Mr. Levy is
of a pleasing disposition and is sure
to make a host of friends in Hamil
ton in a fery short time and as his
acquaintance ripens.
pleasing feature of the new store
is the connection of Robert Fallert
with it. "Bob," as everybody know:
him, is one of the oldest union men
n the city, from point of membership.
He has for 22 years been the efficiem
secretary of the Retail Clerks' Local
Union. Scarcelya union man or woman
in the city but what knows "Bob" and
has personal acquaintance with hin,
Then too he is a member of sever*)
lodges where his ability as a live com
mitteeman was quickly realized an
made his services in demand.
Now that "Bob" is in the gam
for himself, being vice president ci
the Martley Company, every unio
man and woman and hundreds of otl
ers are pulling hard for him that h
be successful in his venture.

EASTLAND VICTIMS
LOSE SUIT
Chicago.—A jury lias exonerated
the city of Chicago from all blame in
connection with the over-turning of
the steamer Sastland in the Chicago
river July 25, 1915, when 812 lives
were lost. If the city had been found
negligent, damage suits aggregating
possibly $10,000,000 would be filed.
The Eastland was built for the
freight packet trade across Lake
Michigan and was considered a sea
worthy vessel. To fit her for the pas
senger service cabins were built on
her upper deck- This made her top
heavy. Organized workers employed
on the river front called attention
