See Duse.. , Extra Steel Dividend. McAdoo Comes Out. Hiram Johnson Soon. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Travel from any part of the United States to New York to see Eleanor Duse; the great Italian. On Monday night she appeared in “La Donna del Mare” at the Met ropolitan opera house. She will appear nine times more in New York; after that in t—o other American cities. Then this con tinent will she her no more. Where fehe appears actors and actresses pf any ambition should put on their understudies and see and study Duse, one pf three great women that have appeared in a centtiry and a half. Bern hardt and Rachel were the other two. Every woman that sees Duse will find inspiration in her frail body and the beautiful spirit that shines through it. Old women, especially, should see her. Her age is more beautiful than an other woman’s youth. She is feeble and she is old. It is like seeing the last faint rays of the setting sun. But such rays are infinitely more beautiful than the dull light of any candle, or the glare of any arc lamp. Others are candles, or arc lamps, com pared to Duse. She appears before the cruel footlights old, thin. All the signs of physical weakness are there, cheeks hollow, hands and arms on which years are written. You know that you see the last of a great career. She conquers age by ignoring it. Her soul is young. Her gray hair is left gray, her white face is white, not paint ed, and shows its wrinkles. The eyes flame through it. In them are light and power enough. At her appearance thousands applaud. No possessor of youth and beauty has ever been so ap plauded in the world’s biggest city. Back of it are 20 centuries of culture, and back of that beauti ful old face, a life of earnest study, goodness and devotion. See Duse, you older women especially, and learn that the only thing you need fear from age is that the light will go out in your heart and mind before the life goes out of your body. Who shall sound the human heart or tell how it works? Judge Gary, the head of the great steel corporation, sat in a fine box watching Duso’s first appearance, and her sorrows moved him. Her genius made even the unimportant, impossible sorrows of an Ibsen play seem important. Yesterday afternoon he aston ished Wall street, with the help of his fellow directors, by declaring an extra quarterly dividend of one-quarter of 1 per cent on the common stock of United States Steel. That quarterly increase means 1 per cent a year, which will amount to $5,000,000 added to the income of those that own the stock. McAdoo lets it be known that he is in the race for president. Of ■ourse he is, being the most con spicuous democratic candidate. Hiram Johnson will be in the ring also. . This is a free-for-all, and Hiram Johnson probably can get more votes in presidential pri maries than any other republican. Albert Lasker will work for John son as he did for Harding. He’s a first-class dynamo. One of Mr. Ford’s secretaries says he wouldn’t accept the nom ination for the presidency. But it isn’t Liebold, the real secretary, and probably doesn’t mean much. Mr. Ford has his days for pres idential running and his days for forgetting all about it. If the nomination should come on the right day he would probably take it. Meanwhile he’s starting a. plant near Philadelphia, to cost 20 or 30 millions, and hire a few good men at high wages. That’s not bad politics. Everybody noticed the death of Steinmetz, great electrical scien tist. Everybody praised his serv ices to this nation, to industry. Everybody recognized the fact that this genius added tens of mil lions to the value of a great cor poration, gave work to thousands. There is one thing to add. Stein metz was poor, a hunchback crip ple, a sickly Jewish boy, when he came to this country. If he came today, he would be turned back promptly. How does that strike you? England loses a good servant and a faithful man in Bonar Law. Luckily she can say, as the old English king said when Earl Percy was killed at the battle of Chevy Chase, that she has many as good as he. Whatever else you may think of England, you have got to admit that she gets faithful service from many true and able sons. __(Copyright. 1 H:: '1 > Your Credit IS GOOD HERE!

I.os Angeles, Oct. 31.—A court bat tle to put a stop to alleged malicious and unfounded stories about men and women In the motion pictures in dustry was expected to be started in New York today as the result of In structlohs ffom Mary Pickford, mov lion picture actress, and her actor husband, Douglas Fairbanks, ■ .last, night announced they had telegraphed to attorneys in that city. Their eastern attorneys, they said, were ordered to begin suit immed iately against a film magazine, which is alleged to have published a report that Evelyn Hrent, Mr. Fairbank’s former leading ktdy, had caused th6 estrangement of Miss Pickford and her husband. Miss Drent Joined with Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks in denouncing the al leged libelous articles as “ridiculously untrue," and her husband, B. P. Fin man, confirmed the Fairbanks’ an nouncement that she would join with them in the bringing of the suit. , “That was a nasty story and un just story," \Vns the way Miss Pick ford characterized the article on which the proposed libel suit was to be based. “We are bringing this suit to pro tect not only ourselves, but all others who are attacked by such stories. Referring to the supposed rumors that a separation from Mr. Fairbanks was imminent,” Miss Pickford cited the fact that her husband “follows along, whenever I go on location, even if he has to stop work on his own picture." Mr. Fairbanks described rumors of a separation was about what one might erpect from those "who have been talking about me for years." He added that his acquaintance with Miss Brent was purely professional and that he "never talked with her more than 20 minutes at a time." His statements were confirmed by Miss Brent, who said: "The only relations X have had with Mr. Fairbanks were business re lations. Since leaving his studio I have seen him only twice.” She left the Fairbanks studio, she added, be cause she felt that new production contemplated there offered her no suitable role and for no other reason.

Williams, Neb., Oct. 31.—Portions of the body of what is believed to bo a prehistoric man, were dug up near here Monday, according to Wil liam C. Lamb, one of theyexcavators, who declared today that the bones were shipped to Professor Barbour of the' /University of Nebraska for identification If the boties are that of a human being, Mr. hamb stated today, they are of a man about one-third larger than the average man of today, and this ancient probalily roamed over Ne braska about 4,200 years ago, he stated. Mr. Lamb said that the bones were found about eight feet under ground and were so old that some of them crumbled when exposed to air, Bones of what is believed to be a foot, thigh, ribs and portions of a shoulderblado were successfully removed, he as serted. An arrowhead, which Mr. Lamb thinks was fashioned, even before the stone age, was found near the al leged prehistoric specimen. It was about eight inches long and seem ingly made from a split bone or tooth of some large animal. An axe was also unearthed, he declared, and It seemed to have been made from the jawbone of a mammoth. Mr. Lamb stated today that bones of other antedeluvlan mammals were also found buried In the same stratum. “Further excavation is delayed be cause of danger of cave-ln,’’ Mr. Lamb said.

The foolish boast: the wise keep still * And let the world think what it will. —Old Mother Nature. The Chance Old Mr. Buzzard Didn’t •Want. Old Mr. Buzzard had talked too much. He knew It. He felt it in his bones. Besides, his neighbors made it quite clear to him. He had hor.sted that he could fly higher than any of those man-birds, as the little peo ple of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows called the aeroplane, which they saw nlmost every day. He had boasted that if he had the chance he would prove that he could fly higher. But right down in his heart he didn't want the chance. You see there was a doubt there. So it was always a relief to have those man-birds pass straight on as if in a hurry to git somewhere. But one morning ono of these man birds appeared, and instead of hurry ing straight on began to swing in great circles over the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. It was not very high up and it made a great noise. At;onpe all the little people remembered the boast of Old Mr. Buzzard, and as many as could hur ried over to the tall, dead tree in the Green Forest which was his favorite perch. “Now Is your chance!" said Blacky the Crow, arriving almost out of breath. "Now is your chance, Old Mr. Buzzard! Go out and show that man-bird what it means to fly high!' "He is making circles just us we have seen you do so often. Old Mr Buzzard. Oo out there and show him how' you can keep circling higher and higher and higher!” cried Sammy Jay. You've boasted what you can do, so now let us see you do it!” shrieked Chatter the lted Squirrel in his mpst impudent manner. "You may never get another chance like this, and we all want to see you “Now Is your chance!” said Black the Crow. beat that man-bird. Go on and show him how to fly high.” cried Happy Jack Squirrel. Old Mr. Buzzard drew his head down between his shoulders and let his wings droop so that he looked very miserable. "Ah would like to oblige yo' all,” said he, “but Ah done got the misery, and Ah don't feel like Ah could do myself Justice.” WiiiftiiPjWijijji^^ars- '73rolhpns^ liiiiiiliiiiiliiiliHIffiiSI Minneapolis Omaha New York For Friday— A Wonderful Sale of DRESSES A dress buying occasion you will long remember.
