The spirit of the outdoors Is evi

which was the attraction last night
at the ‘Liberty, and is on tonight for
the last time. It is a Paramount
picture and produced with the usual
excellence that characterizes these
offerings. The notable thing, of
Course, is the combination of Wallace
i Reid, Gloria Swanson • and Elliott
Dexter in the picture which in Itself
is a superior attraction. But when
there is e breezy story, a tangle of
fabrications and a lot of good situ
■ ntions enlivened by real acting—it
! becomes of added interest Sam
| Wood directed, Lorna Moon wrote
jand A. S. LeVino adapted the story.
J It has to do with two women who
I love the same man, a self sacrificing
j friend who loves one of the women
land who helps his friend to win
! her even ag.vinst his own chances of
I happiness. There is a spirited polo
game and a realistic accident during

■with real people in it, and it is hand
somely staged.
The story Is about a town girl and
a woodsey girl—a sportive young
man and his philosophical friend.

1 LONDON FOGS INCREASE
ALL MORTALITY RATES
: LONDON. .fan. 10.—The recent fogs
j which have prevailed In and around
; London are responsible not only for
a greatly increased expenditure for
lighting, but have caused more than
the 'st^iial amount of sickness and
suffering to the population.
This is set forth by medical ex
perts, who quote statistics to show
that for the week ended November
21 the death rate in London was
14.3 per 1.000 against a death rate
I for the whole of England and Wales
| of 12.6 per 1,000. Deaths from bron
|chitis and broncho pneumonia rose to
1238 from the previous week’s figure
lot 182. This rise, which is prin
: ripally among children, is ascribed
to weather conditions, to the dark
! ness and irritation of the London
i fogs.

capable of great future development,

account. The approaches to Prince

PLAYERS’ UNION
IS NOT EXCITING
PILOT. OF GIANTS
NEW ' YOK.7C, .ran. Id.—John Me-j
, Craw, vice president and manager ei
j the Giants, ehampions of the world,
[is not becoming alarmed over tile I
1 proposed union of major le.ag\$ play ,
\ ers.
“In the last 20 years," says he, I
“there haven’t been five players who;
really went through with their threa,
to stay out of baseball unless their|
salary demands were met. I doubt i
if the players' union seriously con-i
Eiders any such move.
“If the union wants to do some
thing worth while, let it raise a fund
for impoverished players. Some very I
pathetic cases hue been brought to
my attention. Miny old-time stars
have been discovered without a pen-;
ny to their names. Let the union'
take its dues and devdte the money j
to this cause in sail of spending ill
for high salaries for the organizers
and delegates. The major leagues
will help, and many thousands of;
dollars could b:> raised by an old
timers’ benefit game once a -year.
"As far as Frisch is concerned, IP
amounts to nothing that one of my
players Is either a member or an
officer of the union. As far as I
can sen, that is of no importance at
all. If the players want to join,
that is their own business."
