FIRE AT SEA ISBIG
SCENE OF THE FIRST
“SHADOW” EPISODE.
The initial episode of the wonder
serial. “The Shielding Shadow,” re
leased by Pathe and produced by
Astra, which will be seen - at Hie
Gem Theatre, tomorrow deals with the
adventures aud the love affair of
Jerry Carson and Leontlne Walcott.
The story In brief Is as follows:
Jerry Carson. American novelist,
while in the Bahamas finds a mes-
sage in a bottle washed up by rhe
sea, signed by Joseph Dexter, recog-
nized as a master of synthetic chem
Istry. It states that Dexter has found
the treasure of Sir Henry Morgan, the
buccaneer, on the South Atlantic
rock, known as Ravengar Ledge.
Much against the wish of his sweet-
heart. Leontlne Walcott, Jerry starts
out. from Porto Delgado to seek this
treasure.

Navarro, an Argentine), who promises
to be letMuto Jerry.
On Its voyage, the Portland Girt
takes *f Ire and Jerry Is the only one
saved. I
John Walcott, Leoutine’s father,
disapproves of Jerry and favors Se-
bastian’s suit. Walcott’s business
affairs are In bad shape and as 8e»

wed Ids daughter to the Argentine and
The Little Girt With a Pigtail and
8kinny Legs la Sweet Memory to
Dayton Journal Man.
Did you marry your first little
sweetheart, she of the pinafore frock,
and, perhaps, the barber-pole stock-
ing* 7 It la certain that at tlmea she
wore a cute little braided queue,
though sometimes—when she was
dressed up—her hair hung in curls
down her slender back. How the sun
glinted in those curls, making them to
shine with a splendor akin to that
which lighta the wing of drifting an-
gels in the dreams of night!
Do you remember where you stood
when you first kissed her? Ot course,
you do, says a writer in tho Dsyton
(O.) Journal. That is an incident
which is graven in our memory for-
ever and ever. You felt thrtlly and
chilly and warm and were half scared
to death. You saw God in her eyes,
and felt him In your soul. Wouldn't
you give all you have, or ever expect
to have. In exchange for the innocence
of your heart as it beat that day
against the little throbbing heart in
her tender breast?
But did you marry her? Some syn-
dicate writer Is asking the question,
and promises soon to tell us all about
it. provided a lot of people will first
write letters telling her all about It
Perhaps you married this little
woman of dreams, and perhaps you
did not. The chances arc that you
did not. But you will remember the
sweet ache that troubled your soul In
the days when you were wooing her
with a chivalry unknown to all who
have passed beyond the heavenland
of childhood. ,
When you think of her now your
soul yearns backward to that never-
never land, and maybe the moisture
of sweet aad tears fills your eye.
Did you marry her? Did you?
If you did, then, sometimes, when
you take her hand, In the quiet of a
summer evening, together you may
read the palmiest of memory, joying
as it is given to but few mortals to
rejoice.
DANGER LIES IN BOILED EGG
Scientists Discover Deadly Germe in
Poultry Product—Buy Only
Fresh Eggs.
The fact that hens having certain
diseases well known to chicken fan-
ciers lay eggs from which come chicks
that soon develop the parental dis-
ease led Dr. Leo F. Rettger, Thomas
G. Hull and Wiliam S. Sturges of the
Sheffield laboratory, Yale university,
and the Storm agricultural experi-
ment station, to Investigate the possi-
bility of such eggs being Injurious to
man.
Doctor Rettger is the discoverer of
the so-called bacterium pullorum,
which makes the hen sick, la in her
egg when It la laid and then makes
the chicken that Is hatched sick. He
and hla associates report to the Jour
nal ot Experimental Medicine that
adult fowls and young rabbits, to
which they fed Infected eggs, soon
died, that kittens and guinea pigs
showed signs of poisoning, bpt that
rats were unaffected.
They did not feed Infected eggs to
human beings, but they cooked them
in several ways and then examined
them for the bacteria. Boiling for five
minutes did not destroy these.
Poaching made the eggs sterile. Fry-
ing on one side had no effect, but fry-
ing on both sides destroyed the dis-
ease germs. Coddling was effective
only wfaen continued for at least five
minutes.
Cases of poisoning, sometimes on a
wide scale, after eating eggs are quite
common. So Is the Infection of fowls.
"Hence,” say these experimenters In
their report, “a large proportion of the
marketed eggs is Infected with bac-
terium pullorum.” They warn con-
sumers against any eggs but those
that are quite fresh, as the bacteria
In them develop very rapidly, espe-
cially In summer.
To Do Away With Old 8ystem.
The government of India has decid-
ed to abolish the system of indentured
emigration to British colonies, but It
will be allowed for a further period
of five years in order to permit the
various colonies‘to adjust themselves
to the labor conditions necessarily en-
tailed by the abolition of the inden-
ture system. For practically half a
century the colony of Trinidad had
been dependent upon Indentured la-
borers from India, commonly known
as coolies, for the working of the
large sugar cocoa estates. Their la-
bor was the cheapest to be had, averag-
ing about twenty-four cents per day
during the Indentured period. East
Indians now number approximately
120,000 and constitute one-third of the
colony's population.
Money WIN Be Refunded to All Pur-
chasers Upon Application.
On account of the. fact that the
Metro|H>lita!i Musical Bureau was un-
able to arrange railroad schedule, the
Amato date for Sherman has been
definitely cancelled and those who
have purchased tickets are requested
to cull at Carl Nail's not later than
this week and get their tickets re-
deemed!.' In discussing this Hayden
Head, chairman of the commit tee.
said:
"When we signed contract to 1*1 y
$1200 to Atnato to sliig one night,
many of oqr citizens thought we had
done a very rash and foolish thing.
In fact, the members of the committee
themselves were not certain what the
outcome would be. but the way the
people rallied to the support of the
concert In purchasing tickets, showed
conclusively that the people of Sher-
man and Ihe surrounding cities and
towns of North Texas and Southern
Oklahoma are really ready to support
a high-class attraction. In fact, a
large number of the people Iihvc not
yet presented their ticket* to get their,
money refunded, hoping that Atnato
could riffl I*' had for Sherman.
“We are very pleased to announce,
however, that we have secured for the
night of November the 17tli two splen-
did artists, Itoyal Dadmun, one of the
Itest know'll baritones of the entire
country, and Salvatore de Stefano.
the harpist of International reputation.
On this occasion Ihe Texas Federa-
tion of Women’s flubs meets In Slier
man as guests of the Civic leagn",
and the other women’s organizations
of the city and the Chamber of Corn-
mens' Is glad to contribute to tho en-
tertainment of these visitors by bring,
ing these two famous artists to Sher-
ninu and while all- of us are, 0$
course, disappointed by not having
Amato, we will now have an oppor-
tunity of hearing two great artists, it
baritone and a harpist.”
Concerning Dadmun, the following”
will lie of Interest: “Mr. Dadmnu has
a voice of good quality, which was
pleasing In the lyric style which most
of his numbers were set In.”—Richard
Aldrich. Now York Times.
“Mr. Dadrauu’s voice is rich, smooth,
powerful, expressive in all registers,
and his style Is altogether manly and
taking finally, one understands hi*
words and the combination should
bring him to the very forefront.”—
Musical Courier.
These few press comments on Ste-
fano will be of Interest to the music
lovers of Sherman:
“Salvatore de Stefano proved him-
self to be a rare artist with a wealth
>f technic at Ids command. Ills play-
ing was a joy and fully demonstrated
the possibilities of the modern lmrp.’
—New York Tribune.
“The most completely satisfying ar-
tist was Salvatore de Stefano. who
played with delicacy and life."—New
York Tribune.
“The writer had ne'er been able to
work np much enthusiasm for harp
playing. Our ideas alxmt harp play-
ing, however, have received a radical
Jott—all of which was Ihe result of
attending one of the Fritsohy comert*
ind listening to Salvatore de Stefano
ola.v the harp. He does much more
than flint; he makes the harp a living,
breathing thing, crooning, sorrowing,
rejoicing, tendering exqullste: for lh«
music of the harp as played hy Sig
de Stefano is lieantiful beyond belief.”
—Kansas City Star.
